The American system of traveling representatives, known here as “drummers,” is in vogue to almost an equal extent in Europe, and the field is well covered by energetic men. The aver- age American manufacturer, it is asserted, could well afford to seek faithful, active agents abroad, instead of as now content- ing himself with placing his goods with ! men already well stocked with domestic products, to which they will usually give preference. American manufactures are eble, 3s a rule, to compete directiy with of foreign make, especially for qual- High prices are som@times charged at present abroad, because the dealers secure their goods through English middle- men and must add to the retail rates to secure their profit. Direct handling from maker to retailer would give the American | soods a heavy advantage over those made the continent, notwithstanding the lower rates of labor there, owing to the improved methods and more efficient ma- chinery employed. The intelligent buyers in Europe have demonstrated their keen appreciation of well-msde products, and the popularity of the American bicycles is GTON. -December 20, 1897. CROSBY S. NOYES. -Editor.

General Weyler had posted the insurgents as bandits, and had excused the rigor of his treatment of them on that score.

This procedure, as much as General Wey- ler’s had been, was to be against bandits. ——_~++ = —____ Supplemental Revenue Legislation. In some of the deliverances about the revenue situation it is assumed that even if the republicans propose legislation at this session to supplement the Dingley bill the Senate will reject it.

The people want cenvenient transportation facilities and when these are not forthcoming they will patronize otner means of transit or walk. In these days many of them buy bicycles and make themselves in a measure inde- pendent of the railway companies, Where @ road that refuses or neglects to provide modern facilities is in exclusive occupation of a territory it has the people largely at its mercy, but the bicycle as a remedy is sull available and it is known from the records that the drift wheelward has seri- ously lessened the receipts of the carrying concerns.

The drift of this official opinion is that the methods in vogue among the Ameri- can producers for introducing their goods in such countries as Germany and France are inadequate. Circulars and other ad- vertising and announcing matter are al- most in iably printed in English. Nat- urally the vast bulk of this literature goes directly mio the waste basket. Not only are the facts given in English, but the prices and measurements‘ are all expressed in elements unknown or at least unfamil- far to the continental merchants. The advice Is given to the manufacturers here to express themselves when addressing Eu- Topean agents in terms calculated to reach the Intelligences of their would-be patrons. But it is further shown by these reports that the mere sending of literature through the mails will not reach the merchants, | penses ard would be running on full sched- ule instead of barely maintaining its char- ter by the occasional display of a bob-tail car under the management of a single op- crative. It is notable that these ears are running practically empty, thus casting ad- ditional doubt upon the advisability of the operation of lowering the expenses. Good judgment in railway management today calis for a recognition first of the require- ments of the people, and then the provision of means to meet them. The demands of the riding public ought at all times to be the measure of progress. Nothing short of this policy will ever succeed in an intelli- gent community.

But I can't make up my mind whether it would be more profitabie te own it or to collect indemnities from it.” Consistent, “That’s what makes me envious,” re- marked the impresario as he laid the newspaper down. What were you reading?” “About the man who made millions of dollars in a wheat deal.” “But I thouzht you were wedded to art— that your whole ambiticn. was to elevate the appreciation of music and to provide for adequate interpretation of the works of the great masters.” “That is my whole ambition.

Frem the January Educational Review. ‘The executive committee of the National Educational Association has, by. unanimous vote, selected Washington as the place of meeting in 1898. The general and depart- ment meetings will begin on Thursday, July 7, and close on Wednesday, July 1: The decision has been received with mark- ed enthusiasm, and there is every reason to beKeve that the mecting will be both large and helpful. Omaha is reported to have been the chief competitor with Wash- ingten, and Superintendent Pearse certain- ly urged the claims of his city with rare ability, persistency and gact. But the at- tractiveness of the natidn’s capital, taken in connection with the fact that it has never before extended so urgent an invita- tion to any ccrvention as to this one, car- ried the day. The attendance at Washing- ton should exceed even that at Denver in 1895, ‘The city’s broad streets and weil- ; Shaded parks and squares make it most at- tractive in the early ous excursicns, both to mountain and to seaside resorts, are within easy reach. Congress will, in all prooability, be in ses- sion, and it is expected that the President and other high officers of the government will be prescnt at one or more of the gen- eral sessions. The great library of Congress is now in order, and an inspection of its facilities and decorations will well repay a jeurney across the continent. President Greenwood may be depended upon to offer as good a program as is possibile. Teachers in the east, the west, the north, the south, should plan to atterd this great and in- spiring meeting. —__~ ee» _____ Advertisers Are Immortal. From the Savannah Net Great advertisers live in the history of the city and the prosperity of their firms leng after they themselves have “shuffjed of this mortal coil’; their announcements in the newspapers continue to bear fruit after the advertisers are dead. On the other hand, the non-advertising business man is dead to the community long before he leaves this life; and his business is more than apt to die with him. + ¢ = _____ A Happy Kaiser. From the London Mail. William must be a happy kaiser.
