London Restaurant Charges.
ON the London Chronicle.

-
An American who, in the classical Ian
guage Of his country, is at present
located" In London. wants to know
whether any city in the world Is quite SO
niggardly as our own. He has been going
the round Of the London restaurants. and
has encountered in the management of
them spirit which distresses him. There
is. to begin WITH he says, "a charge of
from I'd. to Cd. for guarding your hat and
coat in the cloak room and a tip In addf-
tion is expected. You want to wash your
hands-another I'd. or another Cd. and an
other tip. You take up the menu, and be-
hold, there is an intimation that a charge
of Sd. each person will be made under the
guise of table money This charge varies
according to the nature of the place-3d
Is the lowest, Sd. perhaps the average; at
great many restaurants IT is 1s,, and in
at least two that / have visited Is Cd. The
only difference is that In the lower-priced
restaurants 1t is called table money, and
in the higher-priced ones placed under the
captivating heading OF convert. To my
mind. an entrance fee, frankly demanded
at the door, would be much less offensive
than to ind yourself asked at the end of q
dinner TO pay for the trouble and expense
of cleaning up the cutlery you have used"

have placed themselves on record as
favoring the enforcement of the laws
of their respective states, regardless

have been promised would inure to
the people of their states if they
would close their eyes and allow the
laws to be violated, it now only re-

an almost complete turn over of the
city and county offices by democratic
incumbants to the candidates elected
on the fusion ticket in November. The
changes in the elective officers includ-
ed the district attorney, the comptrol-
Ter, the presidents of %boroughs, the
sheriff, the, county register and the
county clerk. I OF the successful ones
all were candidates on the fusion
ticket except the presidents of Bronx
and Queens boroughs, where the dem

GOVERNORS HAVE L A

North Dakota alone excepted, all
the states of the northwest, through
their executives stand pledged to use
every possible legal means at COM
mand to prevent the success of the
merger of the three great railway sys-
TENS operating in their territory. Why
the governor of that state that stands
as the exception and did not see fit to
join forces with theothers is not known,
but, perhaps, he has reasons and con-
siders them good and sufficient. But
be they what they may, he certainly
has missed an opportunity of identity
ing himself with a movement Of great
popularity in his state as well as in
the others that did take part in the
conference which closed it's session at
Helena Tuesday evening.
Being sensible, reasonable and we'll
informed men, the governors acted in
a calm and deliberate manner While
they were assembled for a purpose
they acted in no hasty or ill advised
manner. Instead of adopting impos-
sible resolutions and making plays for
favor with the unthinking by promul-
eating TRADES against the railroads
and raising the cry against capital and
capitalists, they declared themselves
for the enforcement OF the laws of
their respective states and for the
maintenance of the peoples rights as
guaranteed them under those laws.
Congress will be asked to investigate
the merger and take such action as
it thinks the case warrants and the
demands of the people justify. Mean.
while Governor Van SAINT will proceed
with his plans of bringing the question
before the courts of his state and in
this will have not only the moral but
the financial support Of the other
governors.
The temporary check which the
merger received by the order of the
district court of Minneapolis no long
er is in force. the decision of a Judge
of the federal court having nullifed
it. This will probably have the effect
of fastening whatever move the gov
ernor of Minnesota may have in con-
temptation, for apparently nothing
now prevents elimination of the
scheme by which Hill and his asso-
ciates expect to circumvent the laws.
It is true that Judge Lochren intimat-
ed that the merger is ir Violation of
the law, as 1t sought to accomplish
through indirect means what may not
bepdone directly. but this question was

MILES, CASE,

Minneapolis Journal: Later and,
apparently more reliable reports, put
a somewhat different aspect on the
interview between General Miles and
President Roosevelt in which the lat
ter was represented as insultingly re-
buking the former. It now appears
to have been very little more than an
expression of a fixed opinion by the
president that General Miles had
made a mistake. What incidental
publicity there was, through the over
hearing Of the conversation by other
gentlemen in the room at the time,
seems to have been the consequence
Of General Miles pressing the presi-
dent for a statement there, instead of
in private, as the president wished.
What the president said was not in
the nature of a reprimand but was a
disapproval of General Miles repre-
sensations that he had committed no
offense in his public remarks about the
| Schley verdict. At the time the Jour-
nal commented on the incident it stat
| ed that it might not have occurred as
reported. We are glad that the facts
are not as first reported.
At the same time it must be said
that there seems to be excellent au-
thority for holding that even Secre-
| To ry poofSc formal rrh1io rnrpi,,,,,
of General Miles was irregular and un-
| just to the general. The Army and
Navy Journal, which generally re-
fleets the conservative opinion and
judgment of the army, discusses the
case of General Miles at length and ar
rives at the conclusion that there is
nothing in army regulations to justify
a public reprimand of an officer ex,
cept it be imposed by the verdict Of a
stoned officer, whom a superior finds
it necessary to censure, is protected
| against the humiliation of publicity.
Moreover the particular article of the
regulations that applies to the case
Of General Miles has been largely a
dead letter, and the Army and Navy
Journal thinks that il it is to be en-
forced herafter a better means of max
ing that intention known could have
been found than by Fan open rebuke
through the public press, by a civilian
secretary, (the regulations provide
that censure must be by the command
ing oficer) of an officer Of long and
distinguished service who, by virtue
of his position, represents the honor
and dignity Of the military service
We assume that the Army and Navy

FQR The NEW YEAR.

A new year has been marked ON the
calendar and a new start is now in
order for everybody. Good resolutions
were made in plenty yesterday by the
individual and it is to be hoped that
communities did the same commend
able thing, for like individuals they
can recall much of the past that may
be improved upon in the future. In
behalf OF this city The Gazette would
like to offer a few resolutions that it
believes it's citizens could adopt with
benefit to themselves and for the
common good. First of all it suggests
that they resolve, n and all, to work
during the coming year for the sue
cess of everything calculated to i'm
prove the city and add to it's progress
and prosperity; that they will culti-
vate a more generous, public spirit
and to that end lend their support and
influence to every move intended 10
increase the growth Of the city. An
other resolution which could be adopt
ed with profit would be one to organ
ize themselves into a committee of
tie whole to induce the locatio:; of
manufacturing enterprises in the city;
to offer substantial inducements to
men with the ear and ability to
erect works of any kind that will
give employment to large. numbers of
men, meanwhile not to be Indifferent
to the overtures of those who may de-
sire to come here and establish them
selves in branches Of business and
industry employing only a modest
number, for small beginnings often
have large endings. A third resolu-
ton should be to secure a wooden mill
here before another year shall have
passed. Of the many enterprises for
whom this should be an inviting field,
none, perhaps, would prove more sue
cessful than such a one. Every ele-
ment that is calculated to contribute
to the success of that branch of the
manufacturing industry exists here as
it exists nowhere else. All that is
needed to secure the location of a
plant of that character is a little pub
lie spiritedness and enterprise. Let
this be manifested during the coming
twelve months.
