An Important Dectaion, The supreme conrt of the Umitod States has again decided that 8 state esanot con stidutionally levy deummer taxes, and thus rolleved the drummer from a possible lia bility to sunoyance in one direction at -least. Of this Nability the town of Aurors, Neb., furnished an instance something over a year age when the represcutative of a ‘furnishing goods liouse was arrested two or three yea e, but in the face of this the state of a8 maintained the drammer tax and in- sisted upon emforcing it. ‘Tme ease iwhich called ont tha last decision originated some- thing ‘more than 20, A commercial traveler from N ricans, while sclling €o0ds by sample in Texas, was arrested for violating the law ‘making it @ misdemeanor for any pérson to Ao business as a commercial travelor without first haviog takem out an “occupation tax.” The drummer contested the constitutionality of the statute on the d that it was repugnant to the clause of the constitution giving congress the exclu sive right to regulato. intor-state commerce, & position authorized by the decision of the suprewe court in the Tennessco case.

Merchant Traveler: The impression has provailed for some time that traveling men, individually and collectively, were devoting too much time and attention to pelitics dur- ing the current campaign. The recent action of the Commarcial Travelars' association of Indianapolis in this connectiou 18 both timely aud commendable, and deserving of the at tention and careful consideration of every traveling man who is at all regardful of the interests of his employers and the feoling of s trade.

B, Tales of a Traveler. Globe Democrat: The center of a lively group of story-tellers at the Laclede hotel, 1ast cvening, was an old grav-hawired gentle- man, with full white beard, the oldest travel. ing salesman in the United States, J. P. idley by name. He gives his age as \ty-six, but his frieuds claim this is as deceptive as his place of residerice as indi- cated by hotel rogisters. For instance, the register here indicates that his home is in St. Paul, while in reality it is in Bridgeport, Conn. St. Peul is simply the last place in which he did busincss. ‘Tt is claimed he is mueh older than’ seventy-six, but he will ot admit it, though he does plead guilty to hav- ing beon a drummer for considerably over haif a century. He started out with anotion wagon, selling to dealers, and was in his glory when wooden-toothed combs were sta ple. His trade was largely south, and a few years ago, when down in_that sectfon, he hown a box of them that he had sold a of a century and_more before. He bought the lot, and “distributed them around among his fricnds as relics of a once profita- le trage. He tells a grest many vory amusing stories of his early experiences. Ome of them is of slavery days, when the feeling was warm in the north. Though he was ver: much opposed to slavery, he had an oppor- tunity to purchase a man cheap, did so, and afterward, with true Yankee ability to drive bargain, let him go b u profiv of §5. The story got out among bis friends in the north, and e had a difficult time straightening him- self up with them. Another is rather chest- nutty, but, as he swears it is true, his'drum- mer friends hear it with relish. It is of the days when railroads first entered Georgia, when luneh house keepers wore accused of not_placing good things to eat on the table until “all aboard” had been caited. Th price of themeal was collected in advanc was & victim, and grabbing a chicken by the leg he made for the car, reaching itas it puiledout. A No. 10 boot reached him as he caught the step, helped him to the car door rathier forcibly, aud made it uncomfortable for him to sit down for several days, but he held on to the chicken. He hus a great many moderu stories also, @s be knows almost every hotel kecper, drummer und merchant from the Atlantic to the Pacific. He travels Light, with little bag. cage ; is very temperate and does as much FAR0 worlennd makes 0s many.early trais as the youngest and most vigorous of b feasion. His territory is from one o the other, and from the northern line of the United_States to the City of Mexico, and covers it as regularly as the season comes around. He has beon married twice, but has never bad any children. He enjoys home life, however, as much as the youugest mar- ried men of his brethren, and his happiest Tours are those spent with his invalid wife and step-daughter in Bridgeport.. The Travelisg Mau. St Paul News: The aversge traveling man is not an augel. He does not claim that pather ambiguousdistingtion, mainly because of the fact thates @ pérformer on the harp heisnota vocferoussuccess, and also becauso Be would much rather wear a silk plug hat sthan the finest crown ever turned out in the swest bye-and-bye. But be is. not as black a8 ho is painted—that goes witheut saying. Notwishstanding the ‘obwious dislike cher- ished by ridioylous Pharisces, and the fact that the clergy ticket him and pass him on asa“dead tough sport,” his heart is in the right place and he figures as a dwstinctively American wstitution, that has done much to give the nation prominence as the embodied essence of gek thereativeness. A phrenolog- fcal analysis of the commercial traveler re- sults asfollows : Aequisitiveness, small; gen- erosity, large; amativeness, abuormal; ide- ality, fair; encrgy, surprising; reverence and bomeveleuce, large; color and taste, fair; destructiyeness, small; philoprogeni tiveness, large. These predominating quali- tics ave all good and none of them disgrace him. Circumstances and the life he leads make him, like the actor, thoroughly cosmopolitan aud essentially boliemian, The former is of service when he comes in contact with so many different people to whom he must be tray no prejudicor the latter is a natural life, into which he enters with His calling takes him away from his Must he, strict reserve, and room, reading’ Bax s Saints’ Rost” or Foxy's ~Martyrsi Not by a large majority.

When thero was o famine in Treland it was tho traveling men who, with the actors, did s much toward swolling the New York Horald relief fund. When yoellow jack striick the south, and laid sicge 1o the beautiful city of Memphis, 1o class of map gave mere libetally of thelr apare cliange than these samo travoling men, Aside from their principal contributions they also dropped hundreds of dollars in nickols, diimes and quarters into the boxes all over New York aud iother cition. When the Charlestox carthquakes ended their reign of tarror the traveling men weve among the first to respond in @ fitting manner. No one ever appeals in vain to a traveling man for charity, “For the greatest of these is charity.” The traveling is not an angel, but augels coutd do no more. Don't Believe in 1t, In reference to a subjeet much discussed of late J. K. Armsby, of Chicago, has the following: We called attention, some weeks ago, to the circular issued by the Northwestern Traveling Mon's assoeiation, upon the pro- priety of admitting, as members, people out side of the profession. We did not believe in the propricty of it then. We have talked the subject over with many of the profcs- sion. We believe in it still lass now. One class of men that we understand are ruled out by the management, we firmly bolieve are eligible, and that is local brokers. ifa man who travels around from store to store, lugging his little box of samples every work- ing day of the year, is not a commercial trav- eler and_ eligible, who is? If we want to in erease our membership of this grand old pioneer of mutual insurance companies, that stands to-day the safest, best and surest of them all, we don't decd to go outside the commercial profession to do it, nor do we need to offer any premium nor any o8- sions to bring in a new membership. Every one of us owes 1t to the company to be a so- licitor for new mem , to do his work well and w do it gratuitou: Now, let us ali see how many new members we can add to the roll befare the annual meeting. There is not another Commercial Insurance company in the west as safe or as sure as the old North- west. Let us all put our shoulders to the wheel and see what a grand boost we can give her. Time Enough Fer Tears, The following remark came from the lips of little Pearl Meuneiley, the five-year-old daughter of Sam Menueiley, & commercial traveler now anchored at the Millard until after election, who was getting in rendincss for a three months’ trip. Alice, her older sister, was feeling badly over her papa's prospective loug absence aud Pearl, secing her cry, approached her Diher, saying: “What 18 to-day,.pa uWhy, Friday, my dhae.

S. Litt, represonting the Straw & Ellsworth Manu- facturing company of Milwaukee, who by the way is widely known by traveling men of Nebraska as the ‘“‘dude hat man,” had the misfortune to mourn the loss of his ele gant fur trimmed coat whilo at Hastings. The coat was taken out of the check room of the Bostwick.

One of the prominent men, in a town near, Hartford becawe a candidate for the office of selectman on the republican ticket, according to a story in the New Haven Register.

NO EVENT Next to the presidential contest has created more excitement than our great Overcoat sale. It is the talk of the town, and every mail brings us scores ot letters from outside ordering Overcoats. We haye not said half enough about these garments in our last “Ad.” Hundreds of customers praised the Overcoats more than we did, and acknowledged that what they saw outstripped their best ex~ pectations. Of the three special lots advertised last week, two are nearly sold out and the only one we have a fair quantity of, and all sizes yet are the $7.75 SATIN LINED CHINCHILLAsS. There isn’t any- thing that will compare with them at double the price in Omaha, and you will say so if you see them. We propose to keep up this grand Overcoat sale for a while, and to replace the broken lots will add to-day and offer for the coming week three more styles, which we can conscientiously recommend as bargains just as great and unparalelled. Elegant wide wale woven back cassimere Overcoats in 2 shades, blue and brown, well trimmed and made at $6.00. This is an extraordinary bargain; $6.00 would not pay for the Cloth alone in the garment. We have sold thesame Overcoats right here early in the season as a bargain for $10, and they can not be bought else- where for less than $12.50 to $15. A large lot of strictly all wool Chinchilla Overcoats, the Chin- chilla made by one of the best mills in the country and warranted Indigo wool dyed, with elegant serge lining and satin sleeve lining at$8. We challenge any reliable Clothing House to produce a like garment for $12. Our price this week is $8. The third is the bargain of the season. A lot of rich and velvety Ve~ netians and Elysiums, in beautiful mixtures,. lined throughout and sleeves with finest silk; a garment which is not often foundin ready- made stores, at $15. You would not havea coat made to order any more if you see these. They are perfect in every respect and a mer- chant tailor would charge for a similar coat, $50 to $60. Next week we promise some extraordinary thing in suits and pants Watch our **ad.” Close, economical and intelligent buyers who are judges of quali- ties and values are doubly welcomed to this great sale.
