A MISSOURI LAW.

The lower house of the Missouri
legislature has passed by IS to SO
bill forbidding tipping walters, Pull
man porters, or other servants, and
applying a fine of S. to $500 for each
offense. Lots of people will sympa-
thize with the sentiment that inspires
the law, but it is question whether
any legislature or other body can for
bid man making a gift if he chooses.
This is free country. The way to
stop tipping is for the employer to
pay adequate wages and then put up
signs signifying that fact and advis-
ing all persons to avoid tipping. It is
perhaps a mistake, but it is a COM
mon belief that the Pullman porters
are expected to get the bulk of their
pay out Of their customers, or victims
as they may perhaps better be called.

part OF Mr.. Root, both in the smoking
room of Rdeau Hall and in his little
speech at the Canadian club luncheon,
that will make his visit memorable to
many Canadians. We have no doubt
that Mr.. Root got as good us he gave.
There are some differences of appear
ance as between the methods of the
people OF Canada and those of the
people OF this country: but both peo-
pies. as Mr.. Root said, are aiming at
the same ideals Of liberty and justice,
and these are the main objects for
which states exist To work side by
side for the peace and righteousness

of both, but also the most natural

ANOTHER CONCMLATORY STEP.

The French ministry have now APP
proved a bill suppressing the formal
ity of requiring a declaration before
holding a public meeting, as required
by the law OF 1881, and the measure
was brought before the Chamber of
Deputies Tuesday afternoon. The pur-
pose of this bill is to keep the Catho-
lie churches of France open for public
worship by the Vatican authorities.
According to the reports from Paris,
the Pope sent word through the Bishop
of Dion to the meeting of bishops last
week that they should continue to con-
duct public worship under his pre-
vious instructions and not 10 make the
declarations required by the separa-
ton law. This new measure, if it
should become law, would permit pub
lie Catholic worship to be continued
in France under the public meeting
act, and without declaration, precisely
as the message brought by the Bishop
of Dion prescribed, and therefore
would be a practical modus vivendi
whereby the Catholics of France could
secure the benefit of their usual
church services so long as the Vatican
permitted the clergy to serve them.
NJ. Clemenceau is thus following out
strictly the line laid down by him at
the beginning of these troubles, name
ly that the churches should not be
closed, and that no martyrs should be
made. He adheres to this statesman
like purpose in the face of a very gen.
eral propaganda of striking uncharit-
ableness carried on against him and
his colleagues. He knows very we'll
that every effort of Cancellation on his
part is liable to be construed as
sign of weakness; but, if he attains
his main purpose of securing for the
Catholic laity of France the mainten-
ance of their ancient forms of wor-
ship under the laws of the land, he
can we'll afford to disregard such in
terpretations, confident that the judg-
ment of impartial men everywhere will
recognize the quality of his efforts.
So far as the Professionals and Jews
of France are concerned, the separa-
ton law is already successful. The

IN DEPOT AT cRARY

Fred Davis, who for the last two
years has been selling cigars in North
Dakota, died suddenly Thursday even
ing in the Great Northern depot at

of the chairs, when he reeled forward,
death coming within very few min

his death.
Mr.. Davis, although he had been OH
the road but short time was we'll
known among the travellers.
The deceased was about 40 years
of age and was one of the pioneer
settlers of Fargo. A good many years
ago he was timer in the employ of
Harrington & knight and later he wen,
into business for himself.
About two years ago he began travel
ing for cigar firm. Since the first
of the year he had been travelling for
the P. & W. Co., having Fargo offices
with the wis-Vidger-Loomis COM
pany.
Mr.. Davis, almost ever since he
came to Fargo, was closly identified
with the volunteer fire departments,
being member of the Rescue Hook
& Ladder company for years. He was
one of the leading volunteer f1remeu
in the state and was several times
elected president of the state volun-
teer association and several times was
a delegate to the national firemen's
convntion.
The deceased leaves a wife and two
children, a boy about 12 years and
girl aged 13 years residing on North
