OF THE
POLITICAL WIND

The Chicago city election Tuesday
NAV be taken as an indication of the
direction in which the political wind
is blowing. With the exception of three
or four two-year terms Carter Harri-
son, father and son, have been mayor
of Chicago for nearly 80 years. But
this spring Mayor Harrison was de-
feated for his party nomination, and
at the election Tuesday the Democratic
candidate was defeated by his Repub-
lican opponent by a decisive majority.
Local conditions entered into the
contest to a limited extent. Women
voted for the first time in a mayoralty
contest, a majority of them voting the
Republican ticket, and it is also prob
able that a considerable number Of
Harrison Democrats voted against the
Democratic nominee, in revenge for
having defeated their candidate at the
primaries. But this combined vote
formed but a comparatively small por-
ton of the 100000 majority rolled up
for the Republican candidate.
The real cause for the Democratic
defeat was undoubtedly the shortcom-
ings of the National Democratic adj
ministration, with its tariff law and
tho sorry spectacle it has presented by
its vacillating policies or lack of poll
cies in the Mexican and European
wars.
Next to New York, Chicago is the
most cosmopolitan city on this contl-
nent, of naturally Socialistie and Dem
ocratic tendencies. Whenever it goes
Republican, it is al indication that
Democratic policies have sunk to a
very low ebb in the estimation of its
people. And what is true of Chicago
should hold good at least in all the
great states of the Middle West.

THE TIPPING
QUESTION

The matter of tipping servants gen
orally and Pullman porters and dining
car walters in particular, is again IN
the limelight, this time by reason OF
the inquiry into the subject being pros
ecuted by the Industrial Relations
committee.
Upon this question public opinion is
divided, with perhaps a slight prepon-
derance in favor of the system. The
fact that the Pullman company has
taken advantage of the public's gener-
osity by cutting down the salaries of
porters to a minimum of $27.0 per
month does not enter seriously into the
question. The practical man taking n
railroad journey usually figures out
that if he goes to an expense of So
per day for a Pullman car and another
So or 81 a day for his meals in the
dining car, it is a matter of sound bus
mess sense to give up the small tips
expected by the porters and walters.
By so doing he obtains the maximum
OF service, while by emitting the tips
he will receive as little attention as
can be given. Men who travel have
learned this lesson, but content them
selves with the reflection that it is
cheaper for them to submit to this
petit larceny graft than to waste their
valuable time in attempting to remedy
the seeming injustice.
The commercial travellers organiza-
ton has adopted a rule f~orbidding
it's members tipping Pullman employees.
Should the general public adopt the
same line of conduct, it would be but
a short time until employees would de-
mand a living wage from the company
and cease looking to patrons for their
support.
But the fact remains that a small
piece of silver will secure a large
amount of service and comfort at the
hands of the ordinary porter and wait
er. 1t might be well for people who
are either too thrifty or too pugnacious
to give up, to travel in a day coach
and take their meals at the occasional
lunch rooms along the route or depend
ON lunch baskets.

Needs appointment and service as spe-
cial personal representative Of President
Lincoln in Great Britain and in France
in the latter part of 1851 and, later, in
1856. Not tho least interesting of the
many truly sensational and romantic OK
pericnceS which Thurlow Weed met with
in his long career were those in which ne
had part in London and in Paris. He
was able to aid in preventing France
from recognizing the Southern Confed-
craCy and also to prepare William IL.

which the latter would receive from the
