growing evil in Great Britain. and re-
Gently the practice has been trans
planted in this country by those who
delight to ape British customs. In
both countries tipping in places of pub
lie entertainment has become a nui-
sance. There is probably no way Of
putting a stop to it in hotels, restau-
rants and similar places. but the laird
of Skibo has shown how it may be done
in private residence. and has taken
the lead in putting the practical plan
into effect.
Many British families Of the higher
social classes are said to have been
somewhat shocked when it was learn
ed that Mr.. Carnegie had issued his
anti-tip request. Tipping servants had
become so common that it was re-
garded as practically a fixed national
custom. and Britishers are slow to de-
part from presidents. But when the
shock and the astonishment have pass
ed away doubtless the Britishers will
thank Mr.. Carnegie for having called
pointed attention to their own folly and
shown them how to put an end to it,
Mr.. Carnegies point of view, and the
correct one, is that he, the owner of
the house and the host of his visitors,
provides a sufficient corps of servants
to attend to the wants of himself, his
family and his guests, and that it de-
wolves upon him as head of the house
and host to pay the servants for their
services. He is able to afford that ex-
pense, the wages paid are fair, and
there is neither reason nor excuse for
the guests to supplement the servants
wages with tips. That is the way
Southern gentlemen of the old school
look at the matter. and one of them
would feel that he had been affronted
if he should discover a guest had tip
ped his servants.

THINGS THE MAYORS LEARNED.

At their convention in this city the
their statements, picked up many ideas
that will be useful to them in admin
istering their respective offices. The
convention here was composed of earn
est and thoughtful men, who busted
themselves in gaining information
from each other that related TO their
official duties. But did they seek in
formation as to how they could cut
down municipal expenditures without
lessening the efficiency of the public
or reducing public improvements?
That is a question in which municipal
taxpayers are more interested than the
average ward politician is.
OF the Mayors who were present in
the convention. how many were there
who could frankly say they managed
the affairs of their respective cities as
economically as they managed their
private businesses? If questioned,
wouldn't many of them have been COM
PEELED to admit that offices We're Gre
ated for the purpose Of making places
for friends of their respective admin
istrations or to satisfy politicians hav-
ing pulls" with those in power? And
wouldn't they have had to admit that
many of those who fill minor places in
their administrations are of no ac-
count whatever, that, in fact. they do
but little more than draw their sala-
ries?
1t would have been an interesting
part of the proceedings of their con-
vention If they had questioned each
other respecting the men who are ap-
pointed to the minor offices. as to the
qualifications and efficiency of these
men. and as to the amount Of money
paid them each year for which no serv-
ice Of real value is rendered?
And then they might have question
ed each other relative to the necessity
of having some one in the city govern
ment made responsible for the proper
and efficient discharge OF the duties de-
volving upon these minor officials.
IT is within the bounds of truth. per-
haps, to say that in every city Of any
size in the state there are officials who
do very little for the money they re-
ceive, and that they do no more than
make show of doing something. One
good and conscientious man doubtless
could and would do more than a half
a dozen OF them. II cities were run
on business principles. that is. II the
Mayors and Councils insisted on con-
Quoting the citys business as they con-
duct their own municipal expenses
might be cut down a quarter. perhaps
a third. and. that too. without damage
to the service in any department or the
reducing OF the amount appropriated
for public improvements.

"AND THE GREATEST OF THESE II
CHARITY"


In the hue-and-cry raised about
Bishop Potter and the Subway Tav-
ern, there can be to the thoughtful
mind nothing more astonishing than
the revelation it has made of the un-
conscious absence among us of that
particular virtue without which we
are become as sounding brass or a
tinkling cymbal. From the pulpit,
through newspaper interviews, in open
letters to the press. all over the coun-
try, members of the ministry, big and
little, have uttered scathing denounce-
ment of the new saloon movement and,
like the cracking of thorns burning
under a pot. their voice has risen
against the big man in the bishops
surplice, who lent it the sanction of
his presence.
The movement itself has been CEN
sured, il anything, less than Bishop
Potter. Before this fact, it's ethical
value becomes a question of less in
terest than the moral attitude of its
| critics. Its ethical value, indeed, is a
| question that the future can very well
take care Of. 1t was not to be won
! dered at that the storm of criticism,
which radical reform of any sort in
evitably arouses should have fallen
with exceptional fury upon the little
! Bowery tavern and its promoters, but
| that the head of one of the great
| churches of this country, a man of
large wisdom. temperate action, and
| recognized piety, who countenanced it,
should be decorated with the choicest
invectives in the ministerial vocabulary
is just reason for amazement. His
action has been varously class
| ihed as devilish, diabolic. inspired
by the devil. An act Of the devil,
| it has even been as strongly put .
| There has been in discussing it an
| engaging disregard OF the little nice

the lips OF the ministerial judges. and
criticism has only just stopped short

Admiral Schley has brought more
worry into the Republican camp by an
article in the Saturday Evening Post
in which he gives an account of the
battle of Santiago. The Republicans
pretend to see in this the ghost of
the old Sampson-Schley controversy
emerging from it's tomb and they fear
the effect on Maryland. There is ap-
parently no need for worry, however,
as Admiral Sohley is merely setting
forth his views of the battle and I'M

the proprietor of the bar has recog-

to note how the candidates them

The fame OF Washington is SO inn
mense and the popular conception Of his
character so exalted, that some skeptical
and fault-6nding critics are disposed to
question the universal estimate, and es-
pecially in the matter of his ability as a
soldier and military commander. How
ever much we may wish il otherwise,
there is in human nature a mean spirit
OF envy and detraction which instructive
ly feels the honorS bestowed upon u great
man to be an indirect reflection and re-
buke to its own littleneSs and baseneSs.
This spirit cropped out conspicuously in
the case of Columbus. in the efforts to
beiittle his great exploit and to hlacken
his character. | do not say that criti-
cisms upon WaShington's generalShip all
proceed from base motives, hut they
doubtless do mostly come from the spirit
and innate tendency which have indi-
Gated. This unworthy spirit is as old as
history, as old as humanity. 1t showed
itself in memorable fashion when the
old Athenians wrote their sentence Of
banishment against AriStides because
