TIPS FOR TRAVELLERS.

William Allen White comes back
from a summer i'm Europe and tells his
fellow Americans that the tip system is
all right He says it is the rule i'm
Europe, and if Americans do not want
To obey the rules abroad. they better
stay at home Which is sound enough
as advice, however destructive it may
be Of the American notion that tipping
degrades both him who gives and him
who receives.
William says that the traveller should
look at his bill. and then add two per
cent for tips He viii have to appor-
ton the tips among four classes Of
servants who minister to him i'm the
European hotel, or wherever else he
may go. But the extra cost Of it is not
so large. It can easily be borne by even
the traveller of modest means.
Not long ago there was a violent dis
cussion in the eastern papers as to the
amount required in tips in crossing the
ocean, first class If anything can be
settled by newspaper discussion il was
that no passenger need give more than
sixteen dollars in tips to the servants
aboard ship For that amount he will
get as much service, and as genuine
appearing a grade of respect, as he
could with a larger sum. Indeed, it
was made clear that if the passenger
gave more it was recognized as a sig
nal for demanding still further per
quisites. And the sum stated marks
the limit of necessary tipping whether

he would go when the people got a
chance at him.
But the whole matter should be pre-
pared for the next session of the legis-
lature. We believe the governor will be
warranted in appointing a tax commits
sion now, and setting them the task Of
preparing a new revenue system for the
state. The people of Utah surely are
sensible enough to adopt the best meas
ure. And truth and fairness are the
best, always.

MRS. BURNETT's OLD NOVEL.

People who are so fortunate as to
be half a century old have in their
libraries a copy of an old book called
Through One Administration" It was
written by Mrs. Frances Hodgson
Burnett, and was published first as a
serial in the Century, something like
thirty years ago. It had a great sale
as a book. but is not likely to be found
on the shelves of any book store now.
And that is too bad, for it is one of
the best love stories a girl ever read.
Because it doesn't end happily, And
a girl can just cry to her hearts de-
light at the sorrows of the heroine
But there is far more than romance
in the story-as there is likely to be
in any thing from the pen of Mrs. Bur

est to citizens, politicians. statesmen
and just common American people. is

the lobbyists tried to buy his support

People used to say that Preston B.
Plumb of Kansas was the original of

principle that the honest men are the
exception. I tell YOU the rascaIs are
in the minority-far and away"
You see. the thing that really made
him mad was that any one should have
so low an opinion of his countrymen's
honor. He wasn't particularly angry
because they tried to buy him. He
knew they couldn't buy him. There
wasn't any peril in that. But there was
peril if the general impression of a
general debauchery prevailed.
You get the point. There is excel
lent opportunity to apply the principle
in connection with the new tariff law.
Any law must have the Endorsement of
a majority Of the house, having nearly
four hundred members, neither better
nor worse than the people who elected
them; and a majority of the senate.

1t isn't likely that a bad measure
could become law at the hands Of such
bodies-unless Airs. Burnetts hero is
wrong. and the big majority of the
United States is composed of thieves
and traitors And that is not the case.

NEGRO CONVICT
In the Penitentiary Viciously
Attacks Others with Pair
of Scissors.

WHEELING, July 26-When the
guard in the pants factory at the
penitentiary stepped out for few
minutes, Earl Echols. considered
one of the most desperate criminals
ever confined in the institution, seiz-
a large pair OF scissors and started
to slash his fellow prisoners who
we're working nearby.
For time the conyicts working
in, the factory were panic stricken
and made mad rush for the doors
with Echols in pursuit, slashing his
dangerous weapon and threatening
to kill all who were in his path.
When the guard returned he
grappled with the prisoner and sue
ceeded in taking the scissors from
him. The convict was taken before
Captain G. G. Dawson at the court
room to give an explanation of his
conduct. When the man appeared
before Captain Dawson he became
craZed with fear and started to sing
religious songs. He pleaded to be
released and for a time was on the
point of nervous collapse.
Echols is considered to be one of
the most dangerous criminals ever
confined at Moundsville, and on sew.
