THE DRUMMER,s DREAM.
New orleans Picavune.l

New Orleans Picayune)
A little room in a little hotel,
In little country town.
On little bed with a musty smell,
A man was lying, down.
A great big man with a great big snore-
And he lay on his back, you see
And peaceful look on his face he wore
For sound asleep was he.
In his dream what rv'lous trips he
made,
What tremendous bills he sold!
And nobody failed, and every one paid.
And his orders were as good as gold.
He'smiled and smothered a scornful laugh
When his fellow-drummer bowed
For he knew no other had sold the halt
OF what his order-book showed
He got this letter from home one day:
Dear Sir-We've no filter term
To use in your case than simply to saw
Henceforth you are one of the firm. >
And a glorious change this made in his
life;
He now from the road withdrew:
And really soon got to know his wife.
His son and his daughter too
And then he moved from his obscure fiat
To house on the avenue:
fat,
Respected and wealthy, too.
But with thump, bang, whang! thump
again.
The landlord stood at the door.
ITS purity nigh time for that Clio train rs
And the drummer's dream was DER.

WAR TAXES IN MISSOURI.

Missouri courts are reckless. They
seem TO ignore the axiom that this is
a government of, by and for the
trusts" Judge Perkins of Carthage,
that state, has just decided, in the case
OF Senator Howard Gray VS.. the West
ern Union Telegraph company, that the
company should pay the stamp tax, and
that it was the intention of congress to
have them pay it.
The suit was brought to recover three
cents for stamps charged the plaintiff
after the first adoption of the war tax,
his claim being that the defendants
were by law required to bear that bur-
den.
For several months the war revenue
measure has been in force. The patrons
of these companies have been paying
the tax that congressman claimed to
have levied on the corporations"
1t has been held repeatedly that the
stamp tax is a tax for the carrier and
not for the shipper to pay. Yet the
corporations go ahead, es they always
do, paying no attention to the spirit Of
the law and selling stamps to their
SGStOllSTS.
AS a matter of fact, the railroads and
express companies should provide. pay
for, afIlx and cancel the necessary
stamps.
Any common carrier who refuses to
receive goods under these conditions is
liable for damages, and it is only a
question of whether a patron cares to
go to law for three cents, or such
amount, as did the Missouri plaintiff.
Common carriers have no right to
refuse business legally offered. The law
is well settled and very strict on this
point The rule applies with equal
force to telegraph messages. 1t is the
duty of the company to stamp the mes
sages. It is unlawful to refuse to send
a message because the sender declines
to put stamp on it.
Congress clearly intended that the
corporations should bear a portion Of
the war expenses. It is highly probable
that the decision Of Judge Perkins will
be affirmed on appeal.

In trying to bolster up the Dingley
bill and cover up its deficit, protection
organs are resorting to sophistry and
irrelevant figures.
The New York Tribune, for instance,
has been publishing export tables, on
which it builds long editorials on the
beauties and benefits Of Dingleyism.
Since, in his utter contempt for the
opinion of the public, Senator and
Chairman Hanna blurted out the facts
concerning this tariff fraud and fail
ure. eastern protectionists have devoted
considerable time to "squaring them
selves" with the American people.
The Tribune's export tables show
that we have been shipping an i'm
mense quantity of goods abroad, and
that. in the matter of farming imple-
ments alone, the year was a record
breaker. Ii appears from the Tribune's
article that our exports have been enor-
nous ever since the D4ngley bill went
into effect; that they have been lead
ing the imports by a large majority.
Just how a prohibitory tariff law
stimulates export trade is not made
clear, although the reader is left to in
fer that there is some connection be-
tween the foreign market and the
home tax.
The point made by the Tribune and
the other protection papers, if they
have made point at all, is against the
Dingley schedule. It is nothing to our
credit that during the fiscal year
which ended with June, 1898, the
United States received less in goods

house has been at work for several
days already. A statement OF the. con-
dition Of the treasury has been re-
ceiving a, big share of the attention.
1t shows that with increasing Gus
toms receipts, and with internal
revenue receipts far greater than
those at the custom houses. the ex-
penditures for FIVE months Of the
fiscal year have been more than $751;
100000 in excess of receipts from all
sources.
Part of the expense is due to the war,
Of course. But the special funds
raised for war purposes more than
take care of the war expenses. The
trouble is that the customs are not
keeping up to expectations.
When Secretary Gage submitted his
estimate several months ago he said
that he expected to derive s165, 900, 600
from customs, $156, OOO, GOO from internal
revenue. and SAL, 227.O76 from all
sources. The expenditures were to be
$469, 227, O76,' leaving a deficit of $685.
100000
The internal revenue receipts will
reach s49OOOO.OOa, more than three
times what the secretary of the treas
ury had counted on, and still there will
be a deficit almost sixteen times
greater than what he contemplated
No wonder many Republicans are
turning in desperation from Dingley-
ism. They are reluctant about revising
the tariff. Such action would amount
to an admission of it's injustice and
inefticacy. But it is absolutely neces-
sary to collect more revenue. The con-
dition Of the treasury shows it. Duties
are now beyond the revenue point. To
raise the tariff will make bad matter
worse. To lower it is to subscribe to
the doctrine of "a revenue tariff
only"
Will they choose between levying
additional internal revenues and a
reputation of Dingleyism? Or will
they propose an income tax measure?

ALI Clark of Hopkinsville was a To-

that town on one occasion, stood his
sallies all afternoon long. He was to
introduce Eli that night to the audi
ence to which he was to lecture. When
the time arrived it was found that but
few were present, owing to a heavy
dash of rain that came UP just before
the hour set for the lecture. Clark
took Eli by the arm and walked him
gently to the footlights. Making a
bow, he said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: Tt is my
pleasant privilege to introduce to you
tonight the lecturer of the evening, Mr..
Eli Perkins. Judge Feland, this is Eli
Perkins. Mrs. Colonel Smith, this is

the lecturer personally acquainted with
each member of the audience.

SOME GOOD, SHORT STORIES
Is Rockefeller a Copper King.P


Wall street hears a story that comes
by way of Boston that John D. Rookie
Teller is trying to gain control of tha
entire copper mining industry of the
United States. Wall street is preDar-
ing to believe almost any story it
hears nowadays of the development in
any direction of the' Standard Oil king
great interests.
According to this Boston story John
d. Rockefeller has not been discOur-
aged by mis- Improbable ventures in
the iron mines of Michigan. He IN
tends to corral all the copper mines IN
the great northwest and use them as
feeders for his great transportation
line across the great lakes to the
Atlantic seaboard. Some color is ad-
ded to the story by the great activity
on the Boston stock exchange of the
stock of the mines in Butte, Mont.
which, it is said, Mr.. Rockefeller de-
sires to first secure.
These mines produce 100000 GOO
pounds of copper yearly and are the
principal factors in the copper in
dustry of the United States. All signs
point to his having already secured a
majority interest in the stock of the
Butte & Boston Mining company.
Boston hnancieTs declare that Mr..
Rockefeller's agents are now trying TO
buy the Anaconda mine from James
Is. Haggin in this city and the Mon
tana Ore Purchasing company from
f. Augustus Heinze, of 100 Broadway.
With these two companies in his con-
troi it is believed that it would not be
difficult for Mr.. Rockefeller to force
the great Boston & Montana mine 10
come TO his terms.
1t is asserted that Mr.. Rockefeller's
agents have offered $500 a share for d
controlling interest in the Calumet and
Hecla.
Copper is now selling for 10 cents
per pound, the highest price for many
years.

PROGRESS OF THE CONTEST.

All the eastern papers were not char
tered by the contest press bureau.
Either some were overlooked or were
hard to catch.
The Boston Herald ventures the opin-
ion that the social question peculiar to
Utah will work out its own solution if
the progress of the last few years is not
nullifed by the activity of few ia
natics.
The Springfield REPUBLICAN,, another
conservative newspaper, published in
erudite and Puritanic Massachusetts,,
takes the position that nothing can be
gained by the radical opposition made
to Utah's congressman-elect
The Washington Post, the substance
of whose editorial was published in The
Herald as a Washington special the
day after its appearance takes a very
liberal and sensible view of the situa-
ton. 1t says:
THE Post has more faith than many
Of it's contemporaries in the progressive
force of our civilization. It does not be-
lieve that the polygamy tenet, formally
dropped out of the Mormon creed, will
ever he put back. 1t does not believe
that polygamous marriages are now
contracted in Utah. And it does firmly
and with great cheerfulness believe that
Christian civilization is not going to
suffer Knockout at the hands of any
sect or religion. If the churches of the
United States believe there is danger

There is a Post published in Louis
vile, KY, which holds a certificate of
membership in the contest bureau. 1t
expresses a fervent hope that con-
gress will expel or refuse to receive any
representative of the Mormon church
bearing the commission of the state of
Utah"
To which the Washington paper re-
plies:
Congress viii not expel or refuse to
seat any senator or representative
bearing proper credentials because he
belongs to the Mormon church the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints" Congress never inquiries and
has no business to inquire what church
an applicant for seat belongs to, or
whether he has any religion whatever
It's doors are wide open to men of all
creeds; to the devout believer in Christ,
or to the infidel Atheists, deists and
agnostics sit side by side in senate and
house.
But it adds:
If a state sends a Iaw-breaker to
either house of congress, it is in the
constitutional power of that house to
expel him. Each house is the sole judge
of the qualifications of it's members. If
the next house of representatives
should decide to expel the representa-
tive for Utah, its action vii be based
on moral, not on sectarian or denom-
national grounds. Congress has moth
