The "drummers," or commercial travellers are growing factor in the trade industries of the country, and have become so strong in numbers and influence that they have formed something like dozen associations for mutu- al aid, and have established various papers. Naturally the local trades do not like to see these wide.awake men coming from thou. sand miles away to take business from under their very eyes, and hence states and even municipalities have been led to impose taxes upon the drummers; eight states and two ter rtores levy state tax, nine states allow the towns to demand fees, and in two states both kinds of taxes are demanded. The drum mers and their employers naturally object, and they are through their associations wag- ing warfare upon the question with charac- teristic vigor. Justice Clifford decided once in the case of a Jersyman who had sold har- nesses in Baltimore, without license, that the states had no right to impose a bigger tax upon nonresident of the state. Justice Bradley, in concurring, went further and de- clared his belief that the law was violation of the commercial clause of the constitution regulating interstate commerce, and that such tax was in effect duty upon importation from one state to another. A similar case has just been decided at Richmond, Va, by Judge Hughes. The subject therefore is not yet settled, thought commercial men seem hdpeful Of finally winning their fight.

 Nothing has yet been done towerd solving the mystery of the death of Mrs. Lorinda Strickland, aged 79, who lived alone in Litch- field and was found dead week ago Sunday, standing up against the bars of the yard which separated the house from the barn. She had evidently been milking, as a pail of milk was by her side, Some think she had shock but in such a case she would not have been found standing Others think she was struck by lightning There were no marks of violence upon her. and the old lady had no enemies. She was poor; therefore there could be no motive on the part of any one to molest her for her money, Her face was dis colored, but that was probably due to decom- position, having lain out all night and been exposed to the sun the following day. She was inferred at Torrington on Monday.

The coal companies have announced to the dealers that beginning with July the price of coal would be advanced twenty cents per ton, and the dealers have consequently announced to the public that coal is now selling for $5 per ton. There is no possible reason for the have to pay just what the companies demand. With the advance in the price of coal, provis. ions of all kinds are selling at war prices, rents placed as high and wages remaining the affairs existed, it is scarcely to be wondered that strikes among working men are the order of the day

With that delightful and charming incon- sistency which is characteristic of political parties whose only bond of union is a desire to get into power and control the offices, the Maine fusionists denounce national banks as monopolsts, and then go and nominate a national bank president at Kennebunk for Congress- The voters up in Maine must be able to see by this time what first.class fraud that fusion party is, and we look to see them indicate that opinion most emphatically when the returns come in.

We believe that it is the first duty of Con. gress to reduce letter postage to minimum. This, we think, can be attained just now by making the rate one cent, and abolishing the postal card. People will not read any more newspapers if the newspaper rate is lowered, but they will spend more money in writing material. It is more than probable that the government would profit most in this way. This is consideration which we commend to tho attention of the Paper Makers asso- ciation

THE Delaware & Hudson Canal Co., have a corps of surveyors making second trip over the line of the canal with the object of deter mining how much land the company will have to purchase, should the canal be aban- doned and railroad be built in it's stead. It is the general opinion along the line that it is only matter of a short time before the iron horse will take the place of the pensive mule and the dilapidated Hambletonian in the conveyance of coal between Honesdale and tidewater. When this line is built it will form connecting link with the Hartford and Connecticut Western Road, and coal will be hauled without breaking bulk directly from the coal fields to Hartford and other places east. The Storm King Bridge bill, by which it was attempted to secure the exclusive right to bridge the Hudson River in the interest of the New England Road, has come to naught by the refusal of the Governor of New York to approve it. This is the second time the bill has been knocked out of time and proba. ply it will suffice for all time.

Iowa has followed the lead of Kansas in the matter of. Constitutional prohibition. She recently ratified the following amendment to the Constitution of the State by a popular majority of about thirty thousand:
 "No person shall manufacture for sale, or sell or keep for sale as beverage any intoxi
 eating liquors whatever, including ale, wine and beer. The General Assembly shall by law prescribe regulations for the enforcement of the prohibition herein contained, and shall hereby provide suitable penalties for the violation of the provision thereof"
 It is singular, if not suggestive fact that the great West with its cosmopolitan popula- tion and where it has always been supposed whiskey was orthodox and water heterodox, should lead even staid New England-the boasted land of steady habits and all that the term implies, in temperance reform. But so it is. The whole Northwest is the scene of earnest agitation on the temperance question, and it looks as if prohibitory laws would in the near future be enacted in all the North. western States. In Indiana last year the Legislature adopted a joint resolution to sub init prohib;tory amendment to the people, but it has yet to pass another Legislature. In Illinois last year bill for a prohibitory amendment was barely defeated, as was the Kinds Bill" making it necessary for ma jority of the adult residents, male and female, to back appointments for licenses. In Wis consin this year the struggle will be very severe. In Minnesota the "high license rather than the prohibitory system seems to be favored. In Nebraska the passage of the Anti.treating law was secured last year, while in Michigan, where the temperance issue was raised at the spring elections, a large increase has been made in the taxation distilled and fermented. The prohibitory amendment in Kansas seems to give general satisfaction. While it has not entirely stopped the manufacture or sale of liquor tho law that was ever devised can do that) it has at least had marked effect on open traffic in liquor and compelled it to be more discreet and orderly in it's methods. There seems to be something very inconsistent about these efforts of the States to prohibit and regulate the manufacture and sale of liquors, when the same is indirectly at least countenanced and encouraged by the General Government. It is true it only exacts certain internal reve- nue tax, but those who are obliged to pay it regard it as license; and why have they not right to so regard it? The General Government says to them, eff you want to engage in the sale or manufacture of liquor for the following year you shall pay us so much for the right to do so." "Very we'll" say they, s'if you compel us to pay for such a right then you are bound to protect us in that right; otherwise you are guilty of extor- ton, or worse" But there are great many incongruous things in this world yet, which demand the attention of the reformer.

The Springfield Republican yesterday morn- ing contained the following:
 "A dispatch sent at o'clock this morning Egyptian time) from Alexandria says that the bombardment of the forts by the Eng. fish fleet has just begun. Admiral Seymour notified the Alexander authorities yesterday that he would lombard the city at o'clock to-day unless all work on the defenses was stopped. It appears that no reply was made, but the work on the fortifcation was con- tinued, while there was every evidence that the Egyptians were determined to abide by the declaration they have been making for weeks past that they would resist England to the death. As late as 10 o'clock last night Arabi was reported as saying that he would not yield an inch, and a perfect panic pre- vailed among the Arabs. The military said they would defend the forts to the last and then retire into the interior, where prepara- tions for resistence are completed Mean while troops were seen moving about on shore, and Eall was activity at the defenses. On the part of the British the decks were cleared for action and the guns shotted, pend- ing the possibility that the Egyptians would yield at the last moment. The Egyptians
