ALAS FOR UNCLE SAM.

We fear that that grand old gen.
tleman, Uncle Samuel, u. S. A.
has become infected with one oil
those modern fevers that do no good
to anyone. In other words, he has
at last consented to officially recog-
nize the tipping habit, and thereby
he grieves some millions of his
nephews who had begun to hope
that the conscience and common
sense of the country were about to
rebel successfully at organized
piracy.
But now comes the naval depart
meut of the United States and in
an order regulating the expenses of
officers promulgates the following
tariff including tips, that the gov
ernment will pay:
Hotel bills of commissioned off.
GERS not to exceed S. day.
Single meals 81 each tip 10
cents.
Tips on trains so cents day.
Tips will not be allowed OH par
lor cars, except on journey Of five
hours or longer.
Tips at hotels so cents day, but
not to exceed s. a week at one
hotel.
A commissioned naval officer is
permitted to expend So, so week
OH tips in foreign hotels, 81. so a
day on an ocean steamer during 6
days or less, and 81 day for a IS
day trip or longer.
These are not excessive, as tips,
to be sure, but the pity is that the
department should recognize the
demands Of the system of agreeing
to allow anything at all. If naval
officers want to help pay the
wages of walters, porters an d
stewards, they have that un-
doubted privilege. We don't
see that the United States-the
people, if you willis in duty
bound to submit to the tribute of a
lot of quasi black -mailers.

A GANG OF TRAITORS.

The members of the last legisla-
ture may read with profit the scath-
ing rebuke administered to them
and their administration at the re
cent meeting of the State Bar asso-
citation at Bedford, Pa. In terse
terms they were styled gang of
traitors who had violated their
oaths and who now Instead Of being
free men should be under indict-
ment for perjury. The manner in
which they bowed the head to the
will Of political bosses instead of
carrying out the mandates of the
law in neglecting to provide for a
re-apportionment OF the districts of
the State and their absolute refusal
to consider the question Of personal
registration, made them anything
but representatives of the people
and their service disgrace to the
State. Creating new offices and en-
larging the salaries of old ones were
the chief duties OF this last Legisla-
ture, said the president of the Bar
association, and this opinion is shar-
ed by majority of the citizens of
the State who now look with ex-
pectancy on the upheaval in Phila-
delphia, from where it may spread
throughout the State until the rul-
ing bosses have been cast adrift by
the force of public condemnation. -

R0UT THE CHAPTERS

Elihu Root. now Secretary of
State in President Roosevelt's cab
met, has written letter to Mayor
Weaver of Philadelphia in which
he expresses the opinion that the
evidence in hand is ample to war
rant the prosecution of all those
concerned III the schemes to rob
the city. He says that Philadel-
phia should be relieved from the
strain which corrupt and Grimm
al combination, masquerading un.
der the name of Republicans, have
put upon her" Mr.. Root is rec
ognized as the leader of the New
York bar, and one of the ablest
lawyers OF the country. He is a
Republican and close friend of
the President. He denounces the
Philadelphia gang of looters as a
criminal combination" that should
be driven out of power, and advis-
es the Mayor to proceed with prose-
cutions against them.
Some thick and thin "organiza
ton" newspapers have been endeav-
oring to belittle Mayor Weaver S
reform crusade By charging that it
is only a political scheme headed
by that discredited Democrat
James Gay Gordon" the Mayor S
private counsel. Now that Secre-
tary Root has spoken it will be
amusing to watch the attitude Of
these same subservient sheets.
BY corrupt and criminal COM
bination" Mr.. Root can refer only
to Durham, McNichol, Lane ant
their followers, who have been the
head and front of the 'organiza
ton" which while "masqueradins

SUPERIOR COURT.


The Superior Couit held a short
session in Philadelphia last Thurs
day for the purpose of handing down
decisions and then adjourned until
the first Monday i'll October. The
list of decisions handed down was
exceptionally long and one of the
most important was embodied in an
opinion by Judge Orlady sustaining
the constitutionality of the Pure
Food law and affirming the deci-
sion of the Quarter Sessions of Phila-
delphia in the case of Charles w.
Spencer, convicted of selling ham
burger steak containing illegal pre-
servatives.
Spencer was fined $50 and costs
after a long and bitterly fought
trial in the lower court.
The Superior Court, in an opin-
ion by Judge Porter, also decided
that selling cigars on Sunday does
not constitute breach Of the peace.
Addison Foster, OF Delaware county,
on the charge of repeatedly viola
ting the Sunday law of 1894 by
selling soft drinks and cigars was
held by local justice under bonds
to keep the peace. The Superior
Court discharges Mr.. Foster. Judge
Porter pointed out that no disorder
was charged against Foster and said
the magistrate, under the circum-
stances Of this case, had no juris-
diction to require Foster to enter
bail.
