A Serious Blow Aimed at Portland
Trade.

The wholesale grocers and -four dealers held
their usual monthly meeting yesterday, at
which matter came no of great interest to
Portland trade
grocer stated that he understood bill
would be offered to the New Hampshire Legis-
lature requiring every travelling salesman to
take out license, every sach license to cost
800 and to be non-transferable. The stase-
ment was made that such law would prove
great blow to the trade OF Maine and Massa-
chusetts. This state does an immense trade
with New Hampshire and especially the city
of Portland. Such tax would be almost a
prohibition Of this business. II salesman
fell sick his license could not be used by the
man who took his place, and the same would
be the case where a salesman went out OF the
business. Where firm employed a number
OF statesmen the tax would be tremendous. 1t
was said the Legislature of New Hampshire
was composed for the most part of farmers
who, 1t was feared, could not see what an in
jury they would do their own State by the pas,
sage of such bill as well as other States.

GERMANY.

BERLIN, April 14.-In the reichstag the
minister of finance read an imperial mes
sage. The emperor says he always be-
lieved it his duty to devote some solicitude
for the condition of the working classes,
as displayed by Prussian kings. When
the socialist Law was promulgated, the en-
peror expressed a conviction that
legislation would not be restricted to
police and penal measures, but should
benefit the working men. The abolition
of the class tax was the first step towards
benefting them. The emperor is an1-
ious in regard to the passage of the insur-
ance bill, as Its failure, he thinks, would
hopelessly destroy any chance of passing
sick poor bill at the next session. The
budget for 1884 and 1885, would, there
fore, be now submitted to give the next
session an opportunity to consider the So
cial condition of the people. The German,
Austrian and Italian governments are
about to consider the unlawful use of ex-
Plosives and plots for destruction of life
and property. Generally, Italy has in
formed Germany that henceforth no sub
stance capable of being easily exploded,
will be conveyed over any Italian railway
in quantities weighing over 100 pounds.

Text Book CnmmiSsinns-

Harrison Stevenson, the auditor of Kan
diyohi county, having written to Prof
Kiehle, the superintendent of public in
struction, asking from what fund and in
what manner the per cent. commission
to county text book agents is to be paid
he has replied substantially as follows:
The law provides that it shall be paid out
of the county school tax, or the zone mill
tax" as it is commonly called. This tax
is held by the county treasurer in com
mon fund and is Distributed at the settle
ment by the auditor. The s per cent
commissions are paid by the treasurer out
of this fund, and at the settlement the re-
mainder is credited to the districts. Max
ing an estimate upon the books sold last
year, if the sales were equally distributed
the commission would average about ]
per cent. of the mill tax, or about seventy.
five cents from each district of the state
With this explanation it will readily be
seen what is the intention of the law.
