Business Manners.

THE Importance of manners in business has begun
l. to be recognized by American business men,
but that the habit Of polite Difference to customers
has penetrated to all classes Of employees cannot
yet be asserted with truth Brusquerie is still quite
to characterize the American retail clerk as
desire to please The division of mercantile estab-
lishments into departments with superintendent
over each who is watchfuly soicitous of the record
of his branch of the business has had tendency to
weed many incompetent and uncouth subordinates
but not all. There occasionally to be found in
the best regulated city establishments statesmen who
have no higher of their professional position
than to hand out unsolicited advice to ques
ton the propriety Of the customer making known his
demands in the form Of an ultmatum. Something
else just as good is often pushed his attention
and his refusal to take it is looked upon personal
reflection upon the clerk who offers it. -f...
To be sure the insulting clerk exists sufferance
sufferance born Of the American habit of letting
things 20. It is than twenty years since Her
bert Spencer took the American people to task for
this habit, holding it up as national weakness
rather than as the evidence Of strength we had
fondly pictured it to ourselves. This very well
when foreigners did not visit u.s. but now it is not
only out Of place in itself, but it gives the whole
nation appearance to an outsider. - IS
It is proper that the American people who have q
well-established name for Difference to the
street and in public conveyances should begin to
insist that those who them should do it cheer
fully and with we'll bred professional air. ~. r.

Cabinet Salaries.

G ECRETARY BONAPARTE in his argument for
~ higher salaries for cabinet officers puts the
matter too much the ground of a comparison be-
class men by the trusts The trusts can offer man
distinction among his fellows while the govern
ment especially when it raises citizen to the grade
him distinction which money could not buy.
is unlikely the government could compete with the
trusts however high it bid But it is entitled to
have considered in the contract the advantage which
it gives and which is it's alone to give Elihu Root
for example is said have made large fortune in
back into it because the office Of secretary Of state
had attractions for him which money grubbing,
tho successful, could not Offset
The government of course, ought to pay it's cabinet
officers salaries which would enable them maintain
establishments In Washington. That $4,000 year
will not do is quite evident 1t barely adequate
when the salaries fixed and the scale Of living
has risen since then. The principal secretaries in
the British cabinet draw three times the salary of
the American cabinet minister. Great Britain is not
able to pay its cabinet any more than America is.
The need Of readustmen of salaries in Washington
Is apparent but there is also apparent the fact that
the government pays for great deal Of work which
is performed. Cabinet ministers themselves say
that if they had the control Of their departments
they could do the work with 20 per cent less
help. If the cabinet and congress in earnest in
their demand for higher salaries they might, men
in private employment do demonstrate their claim
to advance by savings in their departments which
would justify an increase. 49,

An English Satire.

T~HE labor movement in England has made such
u marked progress in the past few years that it
threatens to overturn the political control Of the
empire which has for ages been in the keeping OF
duca persons endowed with an inalienable right TO
rule assisted by few bright lawyers and lately by
sprinkling Of eminent publicists.
The present house of commons contains for the
first time in the history Of the oldest and best known
parliamentary body in the world separate labor or
should say in Difference to English spelling,
'labour'' party. It contains but fifty MEMBERS but
has eervescent quality quite out Of proportion to
numbers. The labor men are up and doing al the
time. They have already taught the ministry OF the
quaint hypenated Campbell- Bannerman to jump thru
rings, hurdles and to eat out of the hand When
the attorney general brought in bill to give the
trades unions nearly all the earth the labor members
raised such row in the commons that the attorney
general withdrew his bill and went back to his bench
detected. The prime minister apoogized for the docu-
ment, saying that he did not any reason why the
government should haggle over the matter He prom
Used bill which would make trades union funds
invioable at law. %,sz.
The landed interest stands aghast at the temerity
of labor 1t present hope Of staying the hand
Of change since the working people have the govern
ment well in hand and are jauntily conscious that
the elections have demonstrated that standing
together they have the majority of votes The lead
ing newspapers like the Times and Mail froth but
cannot nsti any resistant backbone into either the
ministry or the tory opposition. The liberals know
how they came into power and the tories know how
they expect to get back. "A
Rdicule is the only weapon left and this is being
used unsparingly to unmask the highhanded demands
Of some of the trades unions A recent satire in
the London Times is "a Middle Glass Diary Of
A. D. 1857 1t depicts graphically and with laugh
able exaggeration the plight of family on which the
unions CHARTERED two house painters and paper
hanger. The head Of the house has not asked for
any improvements but he is obliged to maintain and
pay these men because the unions have sent them
The workingmen complain of the food, whistle
Tannhauser' and slowly but surely ruin the interior
aspect of the house at Is 4d an hour The owner is
driven almost to insanity. The family is saved by
the paperhanger falling in love with Lucy, the
daughter They married and the father is, thru
the influence Of tho groom, admitted to the walters
union. His wife remodes his clothing into dress
suit and he begins to practice whistling which he
believes to be the principal business Of good
union
The satire is biting and has enough of basis Of
laad has not lost anything by excessive modesty Nor
did the aristocracy while it held power make itself
by concessions

SOMETHING TO PLEASE THE CHILDREN

Something to please the children,
Something to entertain! -r.
Shall I dance, my dears, or wigge my ears
Or balance myself canea
Shall I stand at the parlor easement
And sing to the crowd belowS
Or pour hot tea Grandpa's knee
In comcal way knows
Something to please the children;
ANYTHING droll will do!
Shall / lash myself to the mantel shelf
And poke my feet up the fuef
Shall / spill hot wax on the carpet
Or cover my with SCOT,
Or gum my hair, drop chair
On the top of my equity footf
Something to please the children;
Something that IS light and gay!
Shall / whistle and scream at the butcher q team
So the horses viii run away7
Shall I hang the cat to the curtain,
Or scare Aunt Jane with mousef
Shall I stutter and groan thru the telephone
And then set fire tosthe housed
Something to please the children;
Nothing that's trite and tamel
They crow with glee as they come to me
I'm never at loss for game.
They greet me as Uncle Henry,
And jolly good times they see
In the jovial ways and genial plays
OF an elderly man like me.
Wallace Irwin in The Saturday Evening Post
