Opinion
Club Rooms For Growing.

Club Rooms For crowlins.
Cleveland Leader
James II. Kennedy, in one Of his
recent letters from New York. tells Of
aclub formed BIZ hotel clerks who had
come to feel that they must have a
place wherein t. growi. Throughout
the day the glad hand" must be ex-
tended. an attentive ear must be given
alike to silly complaints and vapid
humor. a patient a 1attering obse-
quiousness must clothe them as thickly
as a divers rubber suit
One cannot but feel some sympathy
for these gentlemen con1emned to wear
false front. and TO DO pleased that.
since they feel the necessity of ex-
ploding once in twenty-four hours, thoy
should haye devised a scheme by which
the paroxysm can be managed In COM
pany with understanding souls.
Yet there is another side to this
question Of the need Of throwing fits.
Surely. many hotel clerks wear their
own natural selves behind the register.
A man may have a good temper that
is deeper than the epidermis The
greetings of such clerks to the regular
guests are honest and sincere. They
can listen to complaints with true
sympathy and be distressed that the
fault-hnder. however trivial ane
chronic his grumbllngs, has discovered
anything whatever about which 10
murmur. Old jokes do not always de-
mand Rroans. Half the humor Of the
p'ayhoL'es Is as ancient 81 the hills
yet an analysis Of the applause shows
that It Is given more freely to the old
than to the new. And no one evel
dared to call a theatre audience hypo-
critical in its laughter.
The doctor. quite as much as the
hotel clerk. Is compelled to play the
diplomatist. Certainly he beholds hu.
manity when IL is far more querulou'
and foolish. The nurse gives sympa-
thetic respect to patients who are Of
ten suffering from merely fancifu
diseases Still. you never heard that
physicians were given to letting go. .
as the headwriters say AS for nurses
It Is almost proverbial weakness Of
theirs TO marry subjects Of theii
ministrations
No. the "greeters" haven't proved
that club founded upon a call L
''chew the rag is necessary. The hu.
man creature IS not always a mixture
Of good and III nature, and the repres
sion of one does not compel it's express
sion in secret. May the hotel clerks
club be a happy one. but let It not b'
accepted as a device created by an In.
sistent want.

EXCESSIVE ExPREss CHARGES.

R THE revised schedules approved by the
railroad commission of Indiana, the
charges Of express companies in that State have
been lowered ten to twelve per cent.
The commission has made a careful inquiry
into the operations of the express concerns, and
concludes that the charges are excessive for the
service rendered. The schedules it adds, are un-
reasonable and without proper system. The COM
mission asserts that one of the express COM
panies has been run from the beginning on the
money OF its patrons and the increase OF its capi-
tai stock has been made largely through divi-
dends based on surplus earnings. The rates OF
the American companies are about three times as
nigh as the charges in England. The express
companies incur little or none Of the risks Of rail

EMPLOYERS LIABILITY LAW.

TT is believed that the new Employers Liabil-
4 ity Law will stand the test Of the Supreme
Court. The BILL as amended, has been passed by
the Senate and House with little opposition.
The act is intended to benefit the employees Of
railroads, and makes the latter liable for damages
incurred through negligence Of fellow employe
1t does not bar recovery even though the injured
one contributed by his own negligence to the in
jury the amount recovered to be regulated by the
degree of the negligence contributed.
If the law should prove valid, It will compel
railway managers to exercise more vigilance in
the employment of subordinates as we'll as TO
employ every known safety appliance in the
operation OF their roads.
While the plea Of contributory negligence is
barred by the act the employer is protected from
excessive damage by limiting the recovery to the
extent of the carelessness Of the injured, which
degree is to be determined by the jury.
