Judging from the reports of the tips
which General Kuroki gave the bell
boys. porters, elevator boys, chamber
maids, walters and others at that
Chicago hotel where he stopped
week it would have been cheaper for
him to have bought the establishment
outright AS race the Japanese
have the reputation of being very close
in money matters, but Kuroki has set
a pace in spending which will make
it very embarrassing for ordinary
American travellers in Chicago. For
instance, he gave SO to each of the 30
bell-boys in the hotel, $40 to each of
the chambermaids, s. to each of the
20 walters who served him and his
party, and no less than $40 to the
head porter who superintendent the
carrying Of his trunks to his rooms.
This scale of tips will be of interest
to the American who has long
wondered just what ii costs to stay in
Chicago n few ,.dys and leave pos
sessed of the good will of bellboys,
chambermaids, porters and walters.

Labor is paid high wages" says the
Lewiston sun, because employers
can't get labor without paving high
for it," Precisely. Under the Dingley
tariff law every mill in the country has
a fine market for its products at first
class prices. Consequently labor is in
active demand and employers are able
to pay high wages. 1t would be very
different if our manufacturing indus
tries were exposed to the unrestricted
competition of Europe with its lower
wage scale, and lower standards Of
living.

The Lewiston sun says that some big
strikes have occurred under protection.
Undoubtedly. Strikes frequently occur
when two jobs ara looking Tor one man:
they are very rare however when TWO
men are looking for one Job. There
were practically no strikes III the
Cleveland hard times. Those VIII" were
fortunate enough To have positions
that lifted them above the necessity
of patronifing the public soup houses
were content to hang on to them at
whatever terms were offered knowing
fun well the sufferings that were being
endured by the large and growing
army of the unemployed.

1t seems that the lobbyists who
hover around the New York legisla-
ture have an expression to the effect
that bills are kissed through when
they are given passage by good
natured lawmakers as a favor to some
person or interest. Now the New
York Tribune was guilty of remarking
that the bill increasing the teachers
salaries was kissed through" at
Albany and it has paid the penalty by
being deluged with communications
from indignant schoolmarms who re-
sent the charge with no small degree
of heat. The gallant Tribune is trying
desperately to explain that it did not
mean anything wrong, but its editor
will doubtless be looked upon with
suspicion by the school teachers Of
New York from this time forward.

The Craig Brook Hatchery at
salmon for spawning purposes. The
process is interesting. DOries covered
with canvas and open on the sides to
admit the water freely, are distributed
among the river owners of Verona,
PenobscOt and Orland. The govern
ment sends a tug from Bucksport each
day to collect the salmon from the fish
ermen. The salmon weigh from six to
twenty-five or thirty pounds. The aver
age is some twelve or fourteen and on
Bangor price plus siXty-1ive cents for
each fish taken from the weirs and put
in the government dories. They need
and receive careful handling. Twelve
are usually put in a dory and all are
hauled by the tug to Orland where they
are locked up past the dam. The hatch
cry crew take them at the lock and row
them up Orland river a mile. Here
section of the river is fenced off and
the salmon are kept in this pen till the
spawning season in October when they
are caught, stripped and returned to
salt water. About 1000 are usually
bought by the government each season.
SO far this year some 300 have been
secured. 1t is a pretty sight to raise
the canvas and see dozen of the big
fellows swimming in the dory, or to
watch them leap from the water after
they are in their pen.

A JOKE ON THE WOMEN.

If we had as much nerve as some mon
we know, we would laugh at the joke
that the United States senate has play
ed on the women of this country.
They signed a petition as long as from
here to Chicago, protesting against
the remaining of Senator Smoot in the
senate. The senate investigated him
for several years, and now gives him a
bill as clean as the driven snow and
he makes the chaplain of the senate
look like scion of vice and sin by com
parison. The next thing, the Senators
will be apologizing to Smoot. The
president has already done so.
Everybody who fought him, will be
sorry for it, because it seems now that
Smoot is too pure for this wicked world
Of course, he told lot of things that
we do not believe but they have to sc
Just the same.
And another thing to be remembered
is this: Smoot is republican and the
senate is a Republican. A few years
ago Roberts congressman was kicked
out of the lower house but he was &
Democrat. Maybe there are two stand
ards for Democrats and Republicans
But we think it is good joke on the

PR ospERlrr IN GREAT BRITAIN

We have recently been told that Great Britain is more prosperous than ever, but the fact that impris- onment for debt is on the increase there seems to indicate that the pros- perity is not very equally distributed, or that 1t is misused. Last year Il, ,986 debtors were imprisoned for debt in England and Wales by orders of County Courts made upon judgment summonses. In 1905 the number was ii t,405, so that there was an increase of over 500 last year, although the num- Der of plaints was less than in 1905. The proportion of commitments to plaints upon different circuits varies greatly. On one circuit where the number of plaints was S7,OO1, the number of debtors imprisoned was 1,002, while on another circuit where the plaints numbered 25.555 the num- Der of debtors imprisoned was only fourteen. On each of thirteen circuits the number of debtors imprisoned was over 300. The House of Commons, during the recent session, passed a resolution that the power of commit ting to prison for non-payment of debt ought to be restricted, and in the House of Lords, upon the second reading of the Lord Chanceror's County Court bill a strong opinion was expressed against the practice. But no action has been taken to give effect to these views.
 Meanwhile, the great big debtors in Great Britain seem to be as we'll able to keep out of prison as the great big debtors in this country,
