FAVORABLE FOR OYSTERS
English Royal Commission Reports That Danger of Typhoid Infec-
 ton Has Been Exaggerated.

The English royal commission sn sewage disposal has issued a report that should tend to allay the frequent "oyster scares" caused by the assertion that shell. fish are polluted and made unfit to eat by typhoid germs. They are of the opinion that there is not at present exact knowledge warrant. ing such sweeping measures as the compulsory purification of sewage before discharge, for there is nothing, they state, in the ap- pearance of shellfish to distin. guish those which have been ex. posed to sewage contamination from those which have not been 50 exposed.
 The denial of the validity of meteorological examination as a test is very important, for this test has rested on the assumption that the bacillus coli communis, or other allied organism, does not normally occur in the oyster. Over 1000 oysters taken from the put. est waters and from beds obviously liable to pollution were examined and the bacillus coli was found ih nearly all of them, from whatever laying they were taken, though as a rule a very much smaller mum. Der of bacilli was found in those from pure than in those from polluted waters. The commis. sioners say:
 'Tf it should be seriously con tended that the mere presence of bacillus coli, or colilike microbes, fin an oyster should condemn it, few oysters would probably es- cape condemnation"
 Concerning the possibilities of the communication of disease by shellfish, they state that there is a prima facia probability that at times living typhoid bacilli might be conveyed by shellfish to the con. sumer and produce enteric fever, experience confirms their views that the extent to which the ill ness is actually conveyed cannot he determined, the present state of knowledge on the subject not making it possible to make an ao l oarate numerical statement.

TAX THE DRUMMER" PAYS
A Considerable Item in Commercial
 Travellers Expense Account in | Most European Countries.

Three or four drummers, says Comfort, had engaged in warm discussion over the bane of the drummer's existence on the road, the "drummer's tax"-not so bad as it used to be, however, when small towns all over the country levied tribute on every travelling man who visited them.
 "By love-" said a man from a New York silk firm, "you ought to try it over on the other side. What they do here isn't to be spoken of in comparison. Here it is merely small local matter. Over there it is national. At least it is for any of us who come from foreign countries. In Denmark, for instance, there is an annual tax of $42.ss if a man represents one house and half that for each other house represented. In Nor. way you have to have trade pass good for 30 days, costing $26.S0. France is easier and you don't have anything hut a business passport, which costs no more than you want to pay. In Hol- land you have to have an indus. trial tax receipt, which costs six dollars. In Sweden the price is the same as in Norway, $26.80, and if you try to get out of it you will catch fine of from the price of the trade pass up to $1S4, and they are strict about it, too.
 "In Austria you have only to show a proper trade license and in Switzerland a business pass. port. They don't cost any more than you want to give up to the chaps who let you have them. In Russia the price is $25.75 as trade tax and $5.15 extra as a communal tax. And if you are Jew you don't want to go to Russia to sell goods. You may be all right, but Russia doesn't like that kind and shows it by pushing the 'drummes tax on Jews up to $275.5O, be. sides the communal tax of $5.15. England's the place, though, where you want to go. That's the great free trade land and you can go anywhere and everywhere and self to anybody and everybody and never pay a penny. They are SC free over there that, by Jove, you almost feel like asking the coun try to pay you few hundred q year just because you are there.'

CURIOUS HABITS OF WRITING.
The scrtbbling Microbe Never Leaves Que After It Gains
 LOdGiaH.

"The habit of writing is a curious habit and one which may not be out grown," said an old scribbler, in the New Orleans Times-Democrat. Ut seems to be born in the blood. It Is a part of the nature of some men to write things. Early in life they begin to yield to an inclination to jot things down; to scribble of few thoughts at idle mo- ments, and between times, as 1t were; to versify bit; to philosophize; to put down maxims and axioms, and to scrawl thousand and ono little nothings which appeal to the fancy from time to time. Once acquire the habit and it is thine for aye. No amount of change in life's course: no upheavals of fortune. no sudden shifts of fate and destiny; no nothing that may come with the feet ing years will ever once break the mind from the bent which prompts it to trace in the queer curling symbols which roll out from the pencils point the little playful nothings about which the soul b wont to dream.
 Dainty, delicate children are these little vagrants which one idly scrawls into existence between times. Often they are bright, deep, subtle and of the verities; sometimes rney are morose. gloomy, of that sterner stuff which feeds the soul of the hungry pessimists; some
 times as light and airy as the very foam which bursts laughingly around the ankles of Aphrodite; but whether light or profound, whether gay or sad, these things of mental loaing. these littls pet rothings of mental vagabondage. 1 are scintillants which cheer and amuse
 | fellow as he hurries on from one mile- post to another. An, for the habit of
 writing! It pays when the bank fails
 pays in the sweet consolation one may
 know from close communion with ones
 own soul, for man hath not known his
 soul until it glare at him in such cheap
 symbols as he may employ in efforts,
 always short of weight. to speak It's
 weignty sentiments"

An American ir Paris was one day looking at the Eiffel tower, when he was accosted by an enthusiastic French man with: "Ah! my friend, that is a heautiful tower, and I doubt very much whether you have anything to beat 1t in America"
 "Mal, stranger" replied the Amer lcaA "I guess it's good for France, but in America we have a tower so high that(wa have to lower the top at night" "
 "Ihwer the top at night?" replied the Frenbhman. For what reason?"

ANCIENT MILITARY SCHOOL.
Historic Ground on Which the Youna
 Men of Louisiana Receive Their Training.

The Louisiana state university anc agricultural and mechanical college is knowp as the military college of the south, says the Baltimore Sun. It is To- cated at Baton Rouge. and numbers among it's graduates many men who are now officers in the regular army. Gen. w. T. Sherman was the first president of the institution before the civil war. and, notwithstanding his espousal of the northern cause. his memory is still rev. cred at this scene of his former labors. and his life-size portrait in oils occupies . prominent place in the handsome as- sembly hall of the college.
 The site of the university is historic ground. It was for many years mill itary post, and the garrisons of France, England, Spain and the United States have all at different periods occupied De. After 1t was abandoned for military nlOrposes 1t was turned over to the state to IL isiana for purposes of educatioiL " 'io original buildings, however, still iinlrtN, and. with the flag floating over theh, present a striking and beautiful appearance.
 Here, in 1779. Calves. the Spanish gov srnor general of Louisiana, after an en. gagement that lasted for three days. cap- tured the British garrison. The Span iards were in turn driven out by party of Americans, and this marked the passing of west Florida from the do- main of Spain. In 1861 the confeder- ates captured the post, and the next year . desperate battle. involving both land and sea forces, was fought near by and the confederate ram Arkansas was blown up in the view of the land bat tories.
 Many distinguished officers served here while it was still military post Among those whose names are associ- Atad with the place are Wilkinson and the first Wade Hampton, Winfield Scott and Zachary Taylor, Grant and Lee and stonewall Jackson, Mcclellan and Joe Johnson, Bragg, Rosecrans, Longstreet Harney, Thomas and Beauregard, For rest and Phil Sheridan, Hardee and Hood, Hancock and Custer, Admiral Porter and Bishop" Gen. Polk. Among the great civilians we recall the names of Abraham Lincoln, Clay and Calhoun and Jefferson Davis. There is hardly a place elsewhere in the south so rich in historic associations.
 The university is true to its traditions The sons of Louisiana are soldiers by in' heritance, and while they revere the cause for which their fathers fought, nl northern boys are to-day more loyal to tho flag which is lowered at sunset every evening to the well-known strains o1 retreat, while on parade of over 300 ca. dets stands on parade at attention Everything about the university is con- ducted on military lines. and by means Of frequent inspections proper system of discipline is constantly maintained.

Their Principles.

Those eminent democratic leaders,
Colonel Bryan and Willie Hearst,
came out yesterday with declarations
most persons as being I'M rather close
accord with the terms of the national
democratic platform adopted by the
national democratic convention which
met on July,4, 1900, at Kansas City.
That platform was the work Of
Bryan, and at the dollar dinner" at
Lincoln yesterday he emphatically de-
clared that it was "sound in every
plank and the first act Of the next
democratic convention should be to
reaffirm it in its entirety and its next
act should be the addition Of new
planks In harmony with 1t and cover
ing such new questions as demand
consideration" A considerable por-
ton Of Colonel Bryan's speech was
devoted to an earnest appeal to the
democracy to get on a much higher
moral plane than they at present oc-
cupy, and have their consciences
quickened, condition, he intimated,
they were much better prepared to
maintain than the wicked republicans
who, according to Bryan, are wallow-
ing in a seething mass Of corruption.
So emphatically does Bryan stand
Z by the Kansas City platform that his
ardor naturally suggests that he has
made up his mind to make an attempt

never receive the confidence Of the
public sufficiently to help him to the
White House. Bryan would force upon
the democracy again declaration
Of hostility to all the accomplished
facts Of territorial expansion since
1898. In his Lincoln speech he does
not disguise the purpose Of the Bryan
democracy to undo all that has been
done in this direction If his party ever
gets into power. He distinctly de-
clares that party will never surrender
to "imperialism.' Bryan commits
himself to the terms of his old fight.

Willie Hearst announces that he is
in absolute accord with washington,
Jefferson, jackson and Lincoln. If
this presidential candidate really is in
accord with these worthy statesmen,
while backing Bryan and the Kansas
City platform, he certainly has a re-
markable digestive organ. But he
says he is. and we must take his word
for it. While Hearst accepts the
Bryan shibboleth, he declares the par
amount issue to be Industrial feu-
dalism," as embodied in industrial
consultations. Hearst's creed is more
conservative In some respects thar
Bryan's. . -

Get the Drop.

Friends Of President Roosevelt
should favor early conventions to
elect delegates to the republican ne
tional convention. - .,s
The manipulators who are trying to
nominate Hanna or Taft, who are for
anybody to beat the strong, master
eful man in the White House, need
time for their virus to work. They
seek to create uncertainty and to dis
seminate lack Of confidence In the
president, so that the convention shall
be filled with uninstructed delegates.
The way to defeat tins game Is tC
call the conventions early in every
Roosevelt state and elect Roosevelt
delegates, and then bind them with
cast-iron instructions.
The Pennsylvania convention was
called for April 6, before Chairman
Hanna had even issued the call fol
jthe national convention, in order tc
start the fight early and force the
deposition ts show fight in the oper
or quit.
The same course should be adopted
lin the other states. The persons who
ARE stirring UP opposition to the pres
fident by ways that are dark and de-
ivious and mysterious should be made
to fight in the open If they are goint
to fight at all.
Here in Minnesota practically every
body Is for the president. So far a.
getting him the delegation is con
cerned, 1t doesn't make any difference
when the conventions shall meet. Blu
Minnesota can help the Roosevelt
cause in other states and do much t.
scotch the opposition in embryo b,
holding its conventions early and in
structing for the president emphat
icaliy and enthusiastically.

The Bad and the Good.

It would be hard to find novel
more interesting than the story of the
downfall of the Blairs of. St. Louis, and
the recent death Of the husband under
the choking pressure of his guilt. It
is the old story Of willingness to sac
rif1ce everything to make a good
showing and to move among people OF
larger fortune than that Of the social
aspirant. The fact that Blair fol
years led a double life, and, while
assisting In movements for reforms
and public Improvement: of one sort
and another, was stealing from widows
and orphans is enough to shake faith
in all human nature. But the optimist
will take courage from the. fact that
even when rumor began to assail
Blair's reputation he had friends who
would not listen to, the gossips and
offered him financial assistance. The
superficial will call them "easy
! marks" but just the same they are 8
proof of the capacities Of human
nature for goodness.
It Is the same way with the Taylor
affair here in Minneapolis. Younl
Taylor seems to have thrown every
thing overheard at once, including
every remnant Of honor. He took adj

RULING BASED ON COMMON SENSE
7(Madison Owls Democrat,)

madison (Wis.) Democracy
The Minnesota supreme court is guilty
Of the truly sensational. It has given
decision in the cause Of justice and
ignored pestiferous technicalities in the
process. Three young fellows murdered
a man near Owaton1a to obtain SIS in
cash which they. knew he possessed. They
were captured and, one of the assassins
turning states evidence, conviction was
simple. The case was clear from every
point Of view, yet an appeal was taken
to the supreme court. That body now
refuses to intervene, /. brushes aside the
lawyers exceptions with scant courtesy
and practically says that. guilt being per-
fectly plain, it will not permit the mockery
Of another trial.
The Minnesota supreme court has no
reputation for superlative brilliancy. but
such a common sense ruling as this will
easily counterba1ance any deficiency in
that regard. Possibly it bore in mind the
[sickening conduct of the Missouri tribunal
recently in turning loose, on technical
grounds. the whole gang Of st. Louis
boodlers.
