CLUB SERVANTS TIPS
In London These Are Strictly an
Annual Affair.
tBy Cable 20 The Tribune

London, Jan 4.-This has been the
week during which the West End clubs
have collected their annual gifts for
the club servants, which make up to
them the lack Of tips during the other
fifty-one weeks OF the year. and 1t Is
estimated that I'm about twoscore of
the better known clubs the total gifts
reach 100000. Some estimates put the
figure as high as $4,000. but the
former figure Is believed to be more
nearly correct.
Individual subscriptions range from
$50 to 500 BY cabinet ministers down
to the 10 shillings OF the choleric major,
who swesrs II is blackmail, but never
theless subscribes.
The Carlton Club. which, II not the
richest OF London clubs. Is generally
the most generous, averages in the
neighborhod OF $4,000 for its STAFF.
The National Liberal, which in point
Of numbers is the greatest OF clubs,
collects almost as much, while the more
select Reform reaches about $1,000.
Cabinet ministers are always gener-
ous subscribers at both the National
Liberal and the Reform. and average
about S25 each. Mr.. Balfour Is credited
with being the most generous among
public men to club servants. He be-
longs to at least half a dozen clubs,
most OF which he seldom enters, but he
never forgets the servants fund of
any of them.

During the republican propaganda
and In the last years Of the monarchy
republican leaders promised reforms, to
abolish sinecures. to reduce expenses
and to place the country on a footing
Of prosperity. The people now say
these promises have not been complied
with. Sinecures continue and the same
abuses that existed during the mon
archy still exist under the republic.
Expenditures Of state, instead Of being
reduced. have increased. A semi-off

100000. The estimated expenditure for
1912-13-'15. is SS7, 10000.
Moreover, the law for the separation
Of Church and State with Its stringent
clauses, and the systematic persecution
Of the bishops and the whole clergy, has
raised, especially in the religious North.

against the new regime. A spirit Of
