POET ARrHUR sURRENDERs

Port Arthur has fallen. Reduced
to the verge Of starvation and
without hope Of further supplies
the heroic band OF Russians have
yielded to the valor of the besieg.
Ing Js psnese, and the flag Of the
Sunrise Kingdom floats over the
battlsments OF what was consider
ed an Iimpregnable fortress. The
articles Of surrender were signed
Monday afternoon outside of Port
Arthur. and the impression pre-
walls that extremely liberal terms
were granted the Russians.
The success Of their arms, after
eleven months Of most dreadful
carnage, has thrilled the Japan
csc, and following the news Of the
surrender, the streets of Tokyo
were filed with joyous, shouting
crowd, who felt amply compen-
stated for the sacrifices Of life and
money that wele entailed in the
siege. On second thought, how
ever, the considerate Japanese
expressed the deepest compassion
and pfofoundest respect for the
defeated garrison, and General
Stoessel shares with General Nogi
the adwiration Of the populace for
his splendid heroism.
To what extent the fall of Port
Arthur will make for the reetora.
ton of pence between the two
countries Is an open question.
The japanese minister at London
expressed the hope that the sur
render will facilitate final peace,
while the Russian minister at Lon.
don laid that the campaign will
be renewed with fresh vigor in
the spring, and that Russia will
not be content to permit Port
Arthur to remain in the hands Of
the Japanese. :.

THE Tip" IN EUROPE.

/ Everybody Takes II rvc-Pt. Perhaps,
the Crowned leads.
! have just returned from trip
through Europe, where naturally
made frequent comparisons between
the status Of the foreign worker and
that of his American brother.
One Of the most noticeable differ
ences is the constant presence Of the
man with his hand out for tip When
you leave the steamer fully ten people
expect to be remembered" OF these
fully half consider So or less an open
insult, to be resented by marked inso-
lence of manner, and only five dollar
bill can move them to thanks.
At every hotel from eight to dozen
tip hunters shadow the departing
guest, and he is expected to 60 the
rounds
Nor Is this all. If you hire carriage
you are expected to tip the driven II
you ask the street car conductor a
question or request him to call your
street you must give him fee. When
you take boat ride you pay for your
ticket and pay the man who takes it
from you If you inquire your way OF
passerby you dip your hand in your
pocket as you do SO: You tip tile clerk
in the store. the man who delivers your
goods, the postman, the policeman and
for aught | know to the contrary, the
doctor, the lawyer and the preacher
heard 1t said that every one In Europe
will take a tip except the crowned
heads" but I'm not at all prepared to
admit the exception.
When you demonstrate against this
continual tax you are met with the ar
gument: The poor things get very lit
tie, and they must live. You are really
paying them wages, and 1t Is unfair
not to give It."
II you ask, why do they. receive
such small pay?" the reply is, "The
employer knows they will get tips and
counts on it." and again you are as
sured that tips are wages and should
not be withheld.
But a few minutes consideration
shows that not only are tips not
wages, but they destroy wages.
Wages are n definite sum agreed upon
by employer and worker. To pay them
is an obligation; to receive them Is
right. A tip IL n favor, a charity. 1t
can be given or withheld at wifi Its
bestower swears with self satisfied
benevolence. It's receiver, true
funky, graduates his thanks to match
the amount of the gratuity. A tip Is
not wages, for no man has a right to
demand 1t. He can only crlnge and
kotow In the hope of not missing II.
Nor does the amount gained offer
any atonement for the manhood sacri-
feed in the getting. The steamer
stewards are more favored and more
arrogant than the man beyond seas.
In Germany you may give your street
car conductor small coin worth one
and one-fourth cents, in France a cent
will be accepted and the naughty Brit
Usher only stands out for ''tuppence.'
OF course the tips run from these tri-
fes up. and sometimes high up. and
that's the way the money goes
But 1t was, after all. the small tips
that shocked me most. TO think that
men, full grown, white, civilized. free
men, not children nor savages nor
slaves, would take q one cent charity
and say Thank you" for it. .. t..
1t made me heartsick and ashamed
to see It, blushed to think that they
hadn't self respect to blush for them.
