Remember the Humble Ones.

This is the day to remember the humble

who have no legal claim for more than
their Stipends, but who have moral lien
upon our charity. A dime a quarter or a
dollar bestowed with a word of good cheer
will make the receiver very happy Do not
forget that service is more cheerfully given
and more efficient when it is recognized on
such an occasion by the bestowal of a
small bounty. The man who gives, too,
gets far more than the value of his gift
He gains a sense of beneficence that helps
him The coin dropped secretly into the
janitor's Christmas box is worth more to
the donor than much larger sum osten-
tatiously bestowed.
OF course some of these little holiday en-
terprises are apt to be overdone. They
may be too obtrusively thrust into atten-
ton. The over-willing bidder for Christ
mas tips is sometimes nuisance and his
encoura cement is not desirable. But there
plenty of others who meeky stand
aside and hope. To them the trifing sums
are of Importance The wage-wor1er who
is living on a scale of one-tenth of the man
he serves has a far better use for the
quarter dropped into his box or thrust into
his palm than the man who gives it.
Tipping is a rule an unwholesome
practice, which should be discouraged. But
at Christmas time many rules fail to APP
ply, and this is one of them.

The Brownsville Matter.

BY his latest move the President con-
,vdes something-no little, indeed-to Mr..
Foraker in the Brownsville matter. The
sending Of a prominent official of the De-
partmeut of Justice to Texas TO investigate
the charges against the 18th Infantry
shows pretty plainly that the Presidents
side of the controversy is not as strong as
he could wish it. He has either discovered
for himself, or it has been pointed out to
him. that the Investigations upon which he
based his action in dismissing men of that
regiment from the army were not sufficient
to warrant the drastic course he pursued
They yielded so little. indeed, that Mr.
Foraker had no difficulty in supporting his
accusation that upon the case submitted

The British Ambassadorship.

If it is true that Prof. Bryce has de-
clined a peerage he scores so far as his
new duties are concerned He will be all
the more effective over here without a
handle to his name. A handle would not
have hurt if he had had it to come in
on but as he Is known in America as
James Bryce the author of a great book
on our institutions, that name and work
will suffice for him as British ambas sador
to the United States. 1t will be in order to
decorate him upon his return home for
side the water. and the probability is that
the more generous the recognition by his
sovereign in that way the better the
American people will like it.
And why the London talk of filing the
pockets of this accomplished scholar with
money to spend on mere display in office?
Does not that proposition conflict with the
reason assigned for selecting him for the
Washington post? His reception is already
assured. He comes as a man of intellect,
who by his intellectual gifts has endeared
himself to Is it conceivable that such
a man can strengthen himself by becoming

catering to their appetite for expensive

This sort of talk, indeed, in SO far as it
may influence sentiment at all, will simply
make difficulties for the new amba ssador.
To the extent that the tittle-tattle of giddy-
pates, dressed in purple and fine linen, may
have figured in the embarrassments of the
retiring ambassador that should operate
as lesson to us. 1t is discredtable chap
ter in our history, and should not be re-
peated. We owe it to the new man to help
protect him against such people and their
Vaccinations. The idea of setting as a
task for him the winning of such a con-
tingent, and rating him as a man and an
official by his success in such endeavors, is
an insult to him and to ourselves.

killed himself for fear his family would
starve. Was he a fool, or crazy? Not
necessarily. Like the rich man, his sole
thought was about money. He had to
think about it selfishly, more's the pity.

than that of the selfish rich man. But
