The Tipping Evil.
New York Times.)

A few words more on the abuse of
the habit of tipping will be timely
Already the tide of Summer travel has
begun. The season of week end
parties, too, is at hand. Tipping has
become an abominable nuisance all
over the world. Nobody wants to
give big tips except vulgar persons,
who fancy they gain respect by such
a show of questionable generosity.
The worst of tipping is that it has
grown to such proportions. and be-
come SO general, that even a native
born American, who cherishes the
idea of freedom and independence, is
not ashamed to accept a gratuity.
The railway pOrters, cabmen, and
walters are the least of those who
profit under this deplorable system.
This is poor year, year of,dwind-
ling dividends and decreased incomes.
1t is a good year, therefore, in which
to institute a reform in the tipping
system. The tipping of the servants
by the guests in the country houses
ought to be stopped once for all. That
would be a good beginning.

OutIiyed Usefulness
Savannah Morning News.)

1t does really look as if the New
York Cotton Exchange had outlived
its usefulness. If it permits prac-
tees which affect adversely the in
terests of the cotton growers, and
also dealers in cotton futures out
side of New York it would seem to
be time for steps to be taken to have
the institution closed up. There APP
pears to be an impression that it is
really gambling institution in one
of the great products of the country
and that it really serves no good
purpose. If this is the true situation
then the closing Of its doors cannot
take place too soon.
There is no probability that Con-
gress will act in this matter with I'M
due haste. 1t wants to get at the
facts, and when they are obtained it
will doubtless proceed to deal with
the institution in a corrective way or
endeavor to put it out of business.
1t is certainly unjust to the cotton
growers to permit the existence of
an institution which gives a sort of
responsibility to a business that in
jures them. The government should
get after the New York Cotton Ex-
change with a sharp stick.
