La muerte de Carducci

nadie Sc acordaba de esa manifes-
taci6n, promovida por media doce-
ma de locos inconsistencies 8 de in
transigentes despechados. La glo-
ria de Carducci sigui6 brillando tan
pura como antes, no obstante la
griterla de sus detractores, de los
que le increparon porque, poeta y
professor, deseando servir a su pa
tria, habis osado aceptar del 60

tos de todas las naciones, los que Sc
han impregnado de belleza y arte
con Ia lectura de sus aOdasS, no Sc
preocuparon con la pretendida evo-
luci6n polftica del poeta. Su ad-
miraci6n hacia Carducci ha conti-
nuado siendo la misma, y nadie,
por este, ha dejado de seguir le-
yendole. Su consagraci6n reciente
por el premio Nobel es la mejor
prueba de clio. Y vease, por otra

la muerte del grande hombre ha

PRESIDENT AS A HAYMAKER
How the Chief Executive Tolls at
s- Oyster Bay Farm

It is on the hillside back of Saga
more Hill that the president from
time to time, performs his most pic
turesque exercises in the course of
taking his hard work vacation at
Oyster Bay. 1t is from this hillslope
that hay is obtained for the Roose-
Welt horses and sundry live stock.
and here under the hot sun the
Chief Executive of the Nation has
now and then become subordinate
in the ranks, toi1ing afield under the
stern eye of Amos Jackson.
Amos Jackson is a sturdy man for
his three-score years, and is mana

staunch Republican in spirits in
the letter he is decided Democrat. In

A CUBAN ELECTION.

Burning issues are arising in Cuba
elections. Contrary to the wishes of the
American tobacco and sugar planters
in the island, President Roosevelt has
kept faithfully to his word with respect
to Cuban independence. The American
troops are to be recalled, as promised
at the time of American interference,
just as soon as things get in shape
for the Cubans again TO take charge OF
affairs. 1t is now thought this will be
within a few months and an election
for president is expected to be held by
May or June.
Already candidates are In the field.
Tie Americans have innocentiy furn-
lshed the popular Issue. It seems. Five
hundred Havana citizens on Sunday
gathered before the palace of Governor
Magoon to beg him to rescind the or

harmonious protests against the enact
ment of such a law. They advance two
arguments why the measure should not
be enacted. One is that the walters
could not live If tips were forbidden
1t did not seem to occur to them that
they might themselves be able to raise
the pay of their employees to the live
and let live point and thus protect
their guests from the extortions neces-
sary in Washington hotels to secure
reasonably effective service.
The other argument was that the
passage of this bill would injure Wash
ington by driving from that city to
others the best class OF hotel employees,
which seems n truly alarming pros
pect. There Is no city In the United
States wherein hotel life cuts so Inn
portant social figure as In Washing
ton. There Is no city wherein hotel
life, when the quality OF entertainment
provided - taken into consideration. is
SO oNtrayagantly expensive. There IL

One who goes into Washington
hotel the first time may get good SER
vice without tipping. but he might as
well not go back for second meal
When he shows up in the dining room
it will take the waiter full fifteen
minutes to get around to him, and
then is begun a most exasperating
struggle with adverse influences for
the acquisition, one at time, of tho
elements Of scant meal
But everyone has heretofore con-
sdered that this was something in
which the hotel man was only incident
ally Interested, and that IL complaint
were made to him, he would get all
the needs OF his guests were not
promptly met. But events .now trans
piring in Washington Indicate that the
hotel man is in with 1t, and that the
guest at his hotel is expected to pay
half of tho wages Of walters or go
without grub. 1t Is stated to the COM
mittee of congress by the hotel men
themselves that it costs the guests Of
Washington hotels from $4,000 to
$4,000 a month for tipping the walters,
and that that is just about as much
as the hotel men pay them for their
services.
1t is going to be useless for congress
to enact law forbidding tipping with
out at the same time providing strin-
gent regulations requiring hotels to
pay their walters wages and imposing
heavy penalties upon both walters and
hotels which become offensive or me-
giectful when tips are denied.

One Of the amusing things In ma
tional legislation is the way in which
the hotel men in Washington have al
lowed themselves to be smoked out by
the anti-tipping BILL Heretofore many
may have been led to believe that the
tipping indulged by hotel patrons was
something Of an annoyance to hotel
men, sort of a side issue in half-for-
hidden indulgences that might be
likened to stolen sweets.
But when the bill was introduced In
congress to forbid the giving or ac-
ceptance of tips, a bill in which the
hotel men were not seemingly directly
involved, it brought the bonifaces to
the front in solid phalanx to enter their

HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF.

twenty-five years and eleven days
ago today Mr.. Thomas l.. KimbaIl.
general traffic manager of the Union
Pacific railroad, addressed the joint
railroad committee of the Nebraska
legislature on the subject of railroad
rates. He spoke with special reference
to the bill to reduce passenger fares
from four cents a mile to three
cents.
Il don't believe" said Mr.. KimbalI,
that there is any good reason why
the tariffs on the Union Pacific road
should be reduced to three cents a
mile; and I believe that I can show
1t is an injustice. The local passei,-
ger tariff in Nebraska which in 1869
was ten cents per mile, and from 1870
to 1872 seven and one-half cents, has
been gradually reduced to six. five
and four cents per mile, the latter
now being the maximum rate in any
portion Of the state Mileage tickets
are sold at two-and one-h half to three
@''''' Pos h''tf tidtNiuudi IouHQ Trip
tickets at three and one-h half cents
And excursion rates are made as low
as one and one-balf cents especially
for the benefit of the agricultural pop
ulation attending fairs and similar
gatherings"
Mr.. kimball then showed by statis-
ties that the passenger trains were at
that time earning from one fourth to
one-third less than the cost OF run
ming them. Although Kansas and the
states east had the three cent rate
Nebraska was not entitled To- so low
rate because of her lower popula-
ton. Nebraska had population OF
only from 10 to 2i0 people per rail-
road mile on tho different lines ~ the
road, whereas the Burlington IN Iowa
had sOi and IN Illinois 1888. Be-
sides, said Mr. Kiiubaii. "the crying
need for Nebraska In connection with

And moreover. he said. II the pas
