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 hane of the
drummer's existence on the road,
the "drummer's tax"-not so bad
rs it used to be, however, when
small towns all over the country
levied tribute on every travelling
man who visited them.
'By Jove," said a man from
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 a 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
fax 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 80 days, costing $26.Sn.
France is easier and you don't
have anything but 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, S26SO.
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 proper trade license and
n Switzerland a business pass
port They don't cost any more
than you won't to give up to the
chaps who let you have them. In
Russia the price is $25.75 AS trade
tax and IS. 10 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 &. iImmer
tax on Jews up to $275.5O. be-
sides the communal tax of $5.l5.
England's the place, though.
where you want to 60. That's the
great free trade land and you can
go anywhere and everywhere and
sell to anybody and everybody and
never pay a penny. They are SO
free over there that. by Joye. you

Panic Eear.

From the Chicago Inter-ocean.
At least nine-ton;hs Of the Victims OF the
Iroquois Theatre horror were slain by the
overwhelming power of their own emo-
tions. The primary instinct OF self-preser-
walton babe them fee. 1t overpowered in
them all reason and Judgment. and they
fed, but In such manner that their very
efforts TO escape but made certain their
destruction. They fell victims to panic
fear.
This Is said In all humility, for no man
Oh earth can be positive, had he been
there. that he would no; have done JUST
what those hapless hundreds did. None
OF US can be certain that when the mo-
ment OF trial comes he will be free from
panic fear
Yet It IL quite plain that nearly or quite
all would have escaped had they been able
10 control their fear. Such incidents as
those Of Irene Jones, the young girl who
led her. companions out OF the jaws OF
death, and OF the escape Of the Dillon
family, among the last to leave the deadly
gallery, show what was the way OF safety
But hundreds were so overpowered by
panic fear that they could not take that
way.

Savings Banks.


From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The increasing deposits in tho saw
ings banks OF the country. 40 reported
by the Federal Department OF Com
merce and Labor, are not only unerr-
ing signs Of national thrift and pros
perity but they make for good gov
ernment and safe and conservative
financial legislation. The man who has
q fund laid by for the proverbial rainy
day is directly interested in a sound
and stable currency system, and is not
likely TO be led away by financial VA
carries which viii reduce the purchas-
ing power OF his dollars. Currency in
haton and the silver hercsy found their
most unrelenting foes among the In
telisent savings bank depositors. who
desired 10 preserve the value OF their
savings intact. Il is gratifying TO find
that the number OF savings bank de-
positors, strictly speaking. is constant
~ increasing, 70 say nothing OF the
large accumuiations OF savings held in
other repositories. The remarkab HE
recovery Of France after the Franco
Prussian war was due chiefly to the
thrift OF the French people. in whom
the saving habit Is ingrained. A ma

A MARROW VIEW.

The election Of Edward Everett Hale
as chaplain Of the Senate has been the
source Of many congratulatory re-
marks throughout the country. and
the religious press in general has re-
earded 1t as a pleasing compliment to
one Of our foremost citizens-a man
who in his life ana teachings has ex-
emnlihed all that Is best and highest
in American thought
There Is one journal, however, that
dissents-The Presbyterian, a paper
published in Philadelphia. It thinks
that DR.. Hale has "the mental and
moral character for the position" but
says 'it hardly accords with the spirit
and honor Of a Christian nation 10
have Unitarian in so representative
station" II remarks further that
"a Senate that admits to it's privileges
a smoot against the religious senti-
ment OF the land is not likely to heed
the cry of Christians for the Christ
honoring chaplain"
We do not believe that the majority
Of the American people take a view so
narrow and so unwarranted. The re-
ference TO Senator Shoots admission
shows the higotry and intolerance be-
hind the article. Massachusetts, does
not send a man to the Senate to repre-
sent the religious sentiment OF the
country; neither does Utah. To make
this the test would mean the over
throwing Of many Of our constitution
al guarantees.
Dr. Hale il Is admitted has "the
mental and moral character for the po
sition." II so. are we to apply certain
narrow tests in order to commit our
government TO what may be termed
orthodoxy AS a matter Of fact, Is II
not true that the doctrines that we
an live by and by which we measure
human conduct. are substantially those
held by Dr. Hale? Each goes in a diff
ferent direction when it comes to sub
scribing to a creed, and most Of US
hold creeds to be necessary for the
maintenance Of religion. But whether
the church would have It 80 or not
morality, the principles Of which are
not disputed and reverence for a su-
premo Being are about an the tests
that we apply IN our ordinary estimate

TIE MCCLELLAN DINNER.

The absence OF several possible
presidential candidates from the Nc
Clennan dinner on Monday night may
be accounted for in several ways. Mr.
Cleveland was slightly indlsposed;
Judge Parker and Judge Gray had i'm
portant business engagements and
Senator Morgan had to look after the
canal bill.
II is intimated, however. that for
avowed candidates to have been pres
ent would have been interpreted as n
bid for the nomination, and that mod
esty was the real factor that kept one
or two Of these gentlemen away. Then,
too, perhaps the fact that the celebra-
ton was In honor Of a Tammany vlc-
tory dampened the enthusiasm Of those
who otherwise would have been happy
to grace the occasion.
Mr.. Olney was present, and held
forth at some length on the evils Of

rather poor authority on both parties.

Mr. olney has had opportunities to
snow whether Mr. cleveland's declara-

From the way in which Mr. Olney's

being accused Of being a party to Mr..
