 ing Yesterday.

They Will be Furloughed Next Thurs day-Birmingham Battalion March ed to the Capitol-A New Tax
 Assessor for Marengo.

Montgomery, September 17.-(Spccial)- The eight trains which brought the First and Second Alabama regiments from Jack sonville were met at the depot this morning by tremendous crowds of citizens. The iron fencing. however, held the people back. and prevented the soldiers from joining with their loved ones in the crowd The men were allowed to dismount from the cars and were furnished with coffee and lunch in the car shed. They consumed 200 gallons of coffee before they were satisfied The troops only remained at the depot an hour or two. when the First proceeded on to Birmingham, and the Second was carried to Riverside Park. two miles from the city where camp was struck. It is understood here that the Second regiment will be kept intact until about next Thursday, when all of the men, excepting seven of each com pany will be furoughed for thirty days, at the end of which time it is expected they will be mustered out of the service. Seven men from each company will be left in the camp to protect the company properties, etc.
 The only incident of note in connection with the First regiments visit here was that during the delay at the depot Major Smith marched his battalion, which is said to be one of the finest in the service, up Commerce and Dexter avenues to the capi- tol. with the intention of comnlifnenting the governor with visit, but found the execu- tive absent in Birmingham. En route back to the depot, however, the battalion was drawn up in front of the residence of Hon. J. M Falknel, and that popular citizen and former gallant soldier delivered to them patriotic little speech, in which he congrat- ulated them on their courage and love or country. and gave them some good, sound advice.

If, however, the president was unable to secure the ser vices of nine members he would proceed with seven He expected that in any event the commission would be completed within the next few days. The gentlemen who al- ready have accepted or who, 1t Is confi- dently expected will consent to serve are MT. Sexton, General Dodge, MT. Deuby MT Howell. Mr. Gilman and Dr. Keene.

REVENUE TAX ON DRAMATIC
COMPANIES.
To the Editor of The Herald:

To the Editor of The Herald:
that part of the war revenue tax relat-
ing to theatres and travelling dramatic
companies. And oblige several interest
ed parties. JOHN S. LINDSAY,
The law is so plain that it needs no
construction, but the parts relating to
theatres and other exhibitions we re-
produce:
Sec. 2. co PrOprietors of theatres,
museums and concert halls in cities
having more than $4,000 population, as
shown by the last preceding United
States census, shall pay 800. Every
edifice used for the purpose of dra-
matte or operate or other representa-
lions, plays or performances, for adj
mission to which entrance money is
received, not including halls rented or
used occasionally for concert or theat-
rical representations, shall be regarded
as a theatre. Provided, that whenever
any such edifice is under lease at the
passage of this act, the tax shall be
paid by the lessee, unless otherwise
stipulated between the parties to said
lease.
Sec. 2. (S) Proprietors or agents
Of all other public exhibitions or shows
lOI HIOHGy nut III lIllS SET
ton shall pay $40. Provided, that a Spe-
cial tax paid in one state, territory, or
the District of Columbia, shall not ex-
empt exhibitions from the tax in an
other state, territory or the District of
Columbia, and but one special tax
shall be imposed for exhibitions within
any one state, territory or the District
of Columbia.
The taxes here provided for are paid
annually. A travelling dramatic COM
pany would have to pay tax of SO
in each state or territory in which it
gave performances, but it would be
free to enter and depart from a state
or territory as often as it chose, and
it would not have to pay the tax but
once until the year for which it was
expired; it would then have u be re-
newed if the performances were con-
tinued

THOSE NEEDLESS BONDS.

There was 10 excuse FOR the war
bond issue. The war i'd have been
conducted without it. Democrats said
so at the beginning, and were called
"obstructionists."
Rather than delay the war they
yielded knowing full well the advant-
age being taken Of them and of the
people. Opposition to the schemes or
money sharks was denounced by the
goldbug press as "disloyalty-" Criti-
cism of iobbery was hushed in the aw-
full presence of war. Protests were Out
of the question.
1t was the bond-buyer's opportunity,
and he never fails to utilize an advant-
age The bonds were issued, patriotic
people all over the land subscribed for
them and it was known as popular
loan" Eventually most of the bonds
will find their way to the money cen
tiers, and the men who covet will get
them in the end.
1t is estimated that the total expenses
of the war will not be over $50 COO, geo.
There was more than that In sight
without the bonds. Less than 100000
600 has already been expended. The
property we get from Spain will reim-
burse the government to a great ex-
tent.
Nothing in Spain or ir all the world
can make good our loss of r1en. But the
financial loss will be comparatively
light when the balance is struck.
The heaviest financial burden placed
upon the people by the war will be the
bonds which were not needed.

DISARMAMENT OF THE VoLUN.
TIER ARMY.

Soon the volunteer army will be dis
banded, that is all but a hundred thou
sand, which will include the regulars,
no doubt, and those who offered their
services to their country will soon be
returning home They will all come
back heroes, though comparatively few
have been on the field of battle. Those
volunteers who have been on the field
of battle have acquitted themselves
with distinguished honor, the only ez-
ception being the first battalion of the
Seventy-first New York. Had all the
volunteers been called to the front the
story would have been as it is, only it
would have been a longer story
Many of the volunteers feel some dis
appointment that they were not in bat
tie That is a natural feeling for men
who volunteer for war long for the ex-
citement of armed conflict and are am
bilious to achieve fame But the vol
unteers who have not been to the front
but have remained in the camps of in
struction are as truly patriotic as those
volunteers who gave up their lives at
Santiago and Manila, and the country
so regards them. There is not a man
among them who would not have faced
the lannon's mouth had there been oc-
casion for them to. II is by no means
necessary. that a soldier be wounded,
manned or killed to show his patriot
ism The volunteers have given every
evidence possible of their patriotism.
They may be disappointed that they
have not all been to the front, but they
should be thankful that the war ter
minated so soon as it did and that the
sacrifice of life was not greater than
it has been.
How glad all will. be to see the volun-
teers back and to welcome and honor
them as they deserve.

A TALE OF TERROR.

The soldier bold on his pillow rolled
Like log in a billowy sea.
And close-reefed sheet beat a slow re-
treat ~
To his neck, but naught cared he;
The night was hot, but ne knew 1t not,
Nor the sob of the dying wind
That clutched his hair as he sweltered
there
With a nightmare on his mind.
Far. far away by a tropic bay
Bivouacked in a rank morass-
He lay in his dreams by brackish
stream
Full of yellow fever and glass;
And a flood of rain soaked body and
Till, wet to the very core,
He framed q curse that 1 won't re-
hearse,
Though it died in mighty snore.
Then out of the gloom of the jungle-or
room
A traitorous Spaniard stole.
And with a blade that a Turk had made
Struck the sleeper to the soul;
At the deadly stroke the sleeper woke
With a shrek of wild despair
And clasDed his side; but the dream had
lied
A MOSQUITO Toasted there.
