DO WATERS NEED TIPS?

To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:
SIr-I am constant reader of your
paper and have noticed the article sent in
by Mr.. ", Y. q. concerning tipping. 1 de-
plore the gentleman's ignorance for think
ing that by tipping the waiter 81 for 20
days stay for himself and his wife he is so
very generous Probably Mr.. X. Y. u. did
not realize the work the waiter did for him
and the compensation in money he gets for
1t from the house. He and his wife had
three meals day during a period of three
weeks, rather 20 days. This means 20
times three, or 60 meals, divided into 81. or
30 cents per meal for two persons.
Now, I am acquainted with the condl-
tions over at the Marlborough-Blen
where Mr.. X. Y. z. has been staying AS
at most of our big hostelries. the kitchen is
down stairs. Now, do you think that man
was we'll paid, after you consider how many
times he ran up and down those steps to
serve him?
hope the following will give Mr.. X. Y. u.
a better view on the whole subject of tip
ping, which is only to be understood by
people who work in the hotel business. 1t
is hard for people to understand who are not
at all acquainted with the following exist
ing conditions. l refer to the kind like Mr..
Y. Y. r., who presumably spends only his
20-day vacation at hotel. AS an example,
] will stay right here in Philadelphia and
describe the conditions in one of the best
known hotels in the city
This hotel pays the walters n salary of
S25 per month. The hotel furnishes Its So
called uniform, consisting of a coat, for
which 1t deducts SO per month from the
walters wages. Every morning the walters
have TO pay 25 cents for a clean pair of
white trousers; also, they have to buy their
own white shoes. The cheapest to be had
are at the rate of SO pair. Now, the fur
ther needs OF a waiter are: Every day, a
white shirt. 10 cents; a white collar,
cents, and white tie, cents These are
the Chinaman's laundry rates. Now, let us
figure this up:

upon the action of Congress when it

meeting of the coordinate branches
of the national legislature for the pur-
pose of counting the electoral votes,
the Senate, on January 20, 1877, re-
pealed rule under which the disputed
returns of states would be thrown out
and not counted. This was one of the
preliminary steps of the republicans
in Congress. The discussion in Con-
Sress in the press, and wherever par

T|LDEN-KAYESF FIGHT
OF 1876 RECALLED
CIoseness of Present Presi-
dental Struggle Revives
Memories of Years Ago.
CAUSES AND RESULTS

The apparent closeness of the pend
ing presidential contest recalls mem
ories of the Tilden-Hayes election of
1876. The analogy ends in the close
ness of the fight, for there is no sug-
gestion that the present contest may
call for an electoral commission, with
all the bitterness engendered by it,
When the TildenHayes campaign
closed, the returns on their face showed
that New York. New Jersey, Connecti-
cut, Indiana, Missouri, Maryland and
Delaware and ten southern states had
cast their votes for the democratic NOM
inee. There were 1874 undisputed cleo.
toral votes for Tilden and 1b3 Tor
Hayes. Three southern states, Florida
Louisiana and South Carolina, having
nineteen votes in the electoral college'
sent in conflicting returns. In Ihe
Americana it is written that these
states returned popular majorities for
the Tilden electors, but the 'carpet-bas
governments in each had constituted
returning boards whose function II
was to throw out enough oe,locl at.e ~
votes, on the ground of intimidation oi
negro voters, to leave republican ma
Jority.
Neither the reality of the intimlda-
tion nor the arbitrarlness OF the as
SUMPTION that but for 1t the neSl
would all have voted. and all voted re-
publican, is now disputed by either
party.
Oregon Vote in Dispute.
The electoral vote of Oregon was also
in dispute. That state then had three
electoral votes. The returns showed
that the state had voted for the Hayes
electors. On the face of the returns
Tilden needed one electoral vote TO
win y dispute arose as to one OF the
Oregon electors. There was a ques-
ton as to his eligibility, The Governor

Gray Mouse was made quite un-

declare an affection for her, but in the
absence of that she planned out a
very original scheme she thought
would make her and the frog ~insepara-

She had noticed how large and UNI

frog, and how fiat his mouth, and she
said to herself: HE could not unite
a knot with his fingers nor bite a
cord with his mouth. and If l could tie
myself to him he would never be able
to get away
so next day when the frog was
asleep in the sun she crept softly up
to his side, and with a hair which h
had stolen from the tail Of a horse
pastured in the field where she lived
she tied a knot which bound the end
of her tail securely to the frogs hind
leg.
There she said to herself. we

Shortly after the frog wakened
and found Gray Mouse by his SIDE.
He gossiped with her for some time.
but every time that she attempted to
say anything of love the frog turned
the conversation to some other topic.
At last, growing tired Of the attempts
of Gray Mouse to talk on matters
which in no way interested him. the
frog jumped into the pond. And as he
did so, the mouse, being securely tied
to him by her tail, was snatched sud

They had got themselves well

Clearing his throat with a loud
''A-hem." which rather startled the
rabbit, the fox began.
This story was first told centuries
ago, and has been repeated thousands
of times, but that affects neither its
truthfulness nor the lesson which it
teaches. Once upon a time there was
a frog who lived in a pool and near the
pool in a hole in the ground. there
lived a field mouse. The frog could
hop farther than any of his mates and
his croak was louder than that of any
other frog in the pool. and he was
generally looked upon as the leading
frog of the community. The mouse,
who was known to her companions as
Gray Mouse. was very plain and very
quiet, and no one had ever known
her to take any particular interest in
anything or anybody until one day she
saw the frog and fell madly in love
with him.
She told her family how handsome
he was. how green his back and how
shiny, and how white his vest was,
and how far he could jump. and.
above all. how musical his voice
sounded when just at nightfall he led
all the frogs in their evening song.
Her family, realizing how ill-mated
would be the frog and a mouse,
frowned very much upon her affection
and used every influence to keep her
from loving the frog. and even threat
