DAMON AND PYTHIAS,
As Represented bV n Couple OF West
ern Senators.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-It is quite the
custom in the senate for two members of
that body to make an alliance and work in
couples. Palmer of Michigan and Sabin of
Minnesota are great cronies. and do great
deal of business INTERCHANGEABLE for each
other. Conger of Michigan and Sawyer of
Wisconsin afford the best example of this
pairing off that has been known for years
in congress. They began years ago in the
house to work together, and found
it so much to their advantage that they
have kept it up ever since,
and when Sawyer came into the senate
about the same Conger reached that body
they renewed their old pairship. Conger
is good taiker. Sawyer is not, but he is
a very iudicious worker in the committee
room and no man in Washington has more
influence in the departments than Sawyer.
He does the grubbing for Michigan and
Wisconsin business, liOks it into shape and
COnger does the ornamental talking neces-
sary both in the committee room and OH the
floor. Conger says Sawyer could just as
well represent Michigan as himself and
Sawyer says Conger could 60 over into
Wisconsin and take care of his Badger
constituency just as we'll as his own.

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS.
Favorable Report on the Bill To
Prohibit the Taxing of Drunmers.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-The house
committee on commerce, in their report in
favor of the bill which provides that resi-
dents of each state and territory may,
within the other states and territories, and
within the District of Columbia, solicit
from dealers or merchants. orders for
goods and merchandise by sample, cata-
lOgue, card, price-list, description or other
representation, without the payment of
any license or mercantile tax, state that
certain laws in different states, terri
tories and the District of Columbia,
imposing license fees on commercial men
from other states seem to discriminate
against citizens and products of other
states, and that in the confusion of such
laws that free interstate commerce which
is designed under the constitution is inter
fered with and restrained. The committee
cOncede the right of state to tax its citi-
zens engaging in any business, but deny
that the state has right to lay duty on
importationS from one state into another,
under the name of license or tax or pen
atty. although she. the state, territory or
district, at the same time provides for the
same tax equally upon residents and nom
residents.
''Such laws" says the committee, sal
InOuRn not DISCRIMINATING IN favor or resi-
dents and non-residenls, ARE in conflict with
the constitutional power of congress TO regu-
ate commerce between the states"
Judicial decisions in support of this posi-
ton are cited, and the report states explic-
lily that the object Of the bill is to prevent
any state, territory or the District of Col
umbia from requiring license from those
who are exclusively agents in interstate
commercial transactions. The report con-
cludes as follows:
The contracts for sales made by commercial
travellers are not consumated in the state.
when the order is solicited, but the final
assent thereto is given by the merchant or
principal, who receives and executes the
order of his correspondent. This trade is
now carried on without objection by postal
communications and samples by mail, and it
is not perceived why the same thing executed
by a commercial traveller in person is in any
way Obiectionab le

NO He is perfectly indifferent, and his

How about the great mass OF bowling, dis

They are premature think. In my Judg-
ment by 1883 every office will be in the hands
of the Democrats. 1t is only a question or
time. Senator Ingalls, in his speech, truly
said that the administration should be ruled
by those in power, and they alone should De

regard. But speaking about how

Sabin. Both are prime good fellows, keen

He happened to ask Sabin carelesslY if he

is not teetotaller. and has never had
much to say one way or the other about
Temperance, but it is fact that he never
touches a drop of liquor of any kind.
Whenever he is questioned about it, and
about the general subject of temperance, he
replies indifferently:
Il have three boys that love. They have
never smeled liquor in my breath, and they

That is the only temperance argument

1T is HARD TO LIVE so.
Everyday Scenes of Toll at the City
Dumping Grounds.
Men, Women and Children Who Pick
Their Living From Filth.
Wrangles Over Bits of Broken Food
by Hungry Children.

At the city dumping ground near the
Chestnut street station, there Is carried on
one of the industries" of the city that
seldom meets public attention. In the
area rapidly being filled by the dirt and
waste OF the city there are dumped every
day from 800 To GOO loads of every kind of
refuse gathered by scavengers in back
yards. alleys and stables, or hauled away
By owners themselves. There are thus sew
eral wagons constantly being mloaded
and the scene is as constantly enlivened by
the presence of from twenty TO fifty men,
women and children, who put in most Of
their time rustling the dirt and offh for
whatever bears the stamp Of value IN their
eyes. They are mainly of foreign nation
alities. and every age in the family
is represented, from the grandmother
who carefully scratches over pile of rak-
ings with stick, TO the dirty-faced baby
who can just tOddle to her with rag or
chip. The thrifty young housewife with
bare head and arms finds time now and
then TO leave her kitchen for a little and
help in the harvest, returning with

new load being the object of eager. childish
curiosity, and any mOnotony in the half
play is varied by the occasional appear
ance of a pile of rotten fruit which
is eagerly overhaul ed by the
young epicures. The comely maiden is
there, too, with with kerchiefed head and
with an immodesty that is only Ignorance,
and her brawny arms will dump barrel
quicker than those of the driver. Every
rag, piece of wood or string is carefully
saved, TO be sold at cent pound. Old
kitchen ware, baskets, n great va
riety of articles which have been con-
signed to the rubbish heap Of a Summit
avenue mansion. are quickly secured 10 be
utilized in some way. Fights are liable TO
occur at any moment, the children battling
for few rotten oranges and the women
for something of exceptional value that has
been dumped out with the dirt. The whole
picture shows the spirit of thrift and

suits of the social conditions and the
struggle for existence, are present in the

Is there no way that the residents of St
Anthony hill can force the st. Paul Street Car
company TO give them quicker transit up the
hill. As long as Mr.. Lowry keeps them good
natured by promises, so long viii they
live IN hopes. 1t is the belief
of many that this Minneapolis outfit
cares nothing about st. Paul except TO keep
things going along, making semi-annugl
promises, but getting no nearer rapid transit
than we were three years ago. Let the peo-
pie of st. Anthony hill see that there is line

p. IN. Let the st. Anthony hill people agree
to patronize these carry ais and boycott
the Minneapolis street cars. The parties
that put carry alls on will
make money. They will have a better route
and st. Anthony hill people viii not only have
