THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : MONDAY , MAY 20 , 1800. I11E COMMERCIAL TRAVELER. Nothing Very Great , but Many Sprightly Bite of Fresh Paragraphing.

Wo bought our little Billy boy A llttlo bank of tin : A iiivlty llttlo thing it wasTe To put his pennies in ; And many n penny , nil of us , The llttlo fellow gave ; Our object being laudable , To teach him how U > save. Time came when we concluded that r The bank that wo had bought Should surely full of pennies be , And open it wo ougtit. The opening of the allnlr Was made n great event , Hut we were rather startled when We found there not a cent I And little Billy then confessed , \ With some degree of pride , . Ilo'd tapped the bank and calmly up. The money all outsldo. At llrst wo all were grave , then glad , For ho hud made it clear , That ho was of the stuff to bo A modern financier. Tmlcfll and 15c t. The practice adopted Iiy many salesmen of locating in n largo city and sending invita tions to their trade in the smaller neighbor ing towns to visit them ami place Iheirordcrs , agreeing to nieet railroad and hotel expenses If the Invitation is exceptcd , is growing In favor. Many eastern men Iflcato Ifor weeks nt a time in Chicago , bringing their custom ers fi-oni points oven as distant as St. Paul. This suggests the idea that if largo fire proof buildings particularly adapted for dis- * 8k playing goods were centrally located in pcr- i.unps half a do.teii western cities , they would bo constantly occupied by men who could bring their traders reasonable distances. Buildings of two or thivo hundred rooms , containing special and desired turommodn- tloiiH would , it bcems , bo a good investment for the owners and a great convenience to thousands of traveling men. A Hay-So. An impecunious drummer is said to have tinned spotter on an eastern road and by working upon the sympathies of conductors induced them to grant him favors , which ho lias reported , and therefore brought about their discharge. An exchange remarks that "if the devil should ever become incapacitated to properly administer the affairs of Ids realm , this spotter would nrnko a most wor thy successor to his satanic majesty.11 If tlio spotter's record was carefully investigated it could bo ascertained beyond a doubt that ho had at some time been engaged as u peddler or street fakir and that ho has never , oven for a short time , been enrolled in the ranks of tntveling salesmen. A man so depraved could hardly pi avail upon any reputable merchant to even trust him with n line of samples. Good Idea. A federation , not of commercial travelers but of commercial travelers1 associations , says the Koad , is what we are aiming to tiring about. Wo want to see a board of fed eration established , the pcrsonello of which shall bo made up of the presidents of each nml ovei-y traveling men's association in the United States und Canada. Let every asso ciation In the country appoint a delegate to visit Denver the last week in June , when the subject will be discussed. Secretary Jtyurttoii'M J 'lsjuron.

The great majority of commercial men now on the road are its correct in their habits there as when under home Influence. They borrow no strength from dissipation , they light shy of other immoral practices ; they keep their heads level , and as a rule succeed better and lust longer. Thomas Harper of Hcddltch , England , and manufacturer of Harper's celebrated needles , was in Omaha last week. Mr. Harper has for many years past annually visited the principal cities of the United States , and no city , ho assured the writer , has shown the marvelous progress that Omaha during the past live years. A personal inquiry in most of the largo cit ies of the northeai states reveals thu fact that New York commands thu best drum mers' talent and highest salaries. Chicago , Boston and Philadelphia rank next in num bers and compensation. The west is , how ever , rapidly coming to the front in most of these matters. C. E. Latshaw , representing N. 1C.

Childs is the pi-iviloRO of but few men in u century , writes Edward W. Bob in the Ladies' Homo Journal. And thus when , a little over a year ago , it wus announced that Mr. Childs bud consented to write his memoirs , it is not strange that u general sense of pleasure wis : aroused. No name in the world ot today is perhaps so closely associated with illustrious friendships and important events , or is moro fru- grunt of generous charities. It is but right , therefore , that such u life should leave its own record on printed page. Biographers have told it over and. over again , but these have always been insuf ficient. Now , however , in the volume of "Reminiscences" just published , wo have Mr. Child's own story of his life. And what a story it is. At the very outset the interest of the rentier is won by the author's perfect simplicity and his familiar , chatty stylo. Formal ity is at once forgotten , and from the first page you feel as if you wore sitting at Mr. Childs' own hearthstone listening to him as ho first tolls you how ho started at the ago of twelve us an office boy , ut $2 per week ; how bo beciuno a publisher ; how ho was led to buy his present great newspaper , the Ledger , nnd gradually you seem to climb with him the ladder of fame and fortune. Shortly.ho reaches his wonderful circle of friendships with the greatest rulers of the earth und the foremost men und women of all hinds und of every profession , und you nro mndo familiar with the most pot-nonal sides of their .character. The insight which the reader is given into the per sonal life of General Grant , for example , is more clear und satisfactory than can bo obtained from any existing record. Mr. Childs was , perhaps , the closest of all General Grunt's friends. The great soldier esteemed him us a valued confi dent , and , so fur UB Mr. Childs cnn with propriety , bo gives his renders the benefit of this sacred friend ship. At page 100 Mr. Childs turns over the pen to bis edi torial ussoeiuto nnd literary advisor , Mr. L. Clarke Davis , who gives , for the first time in print , u satisfactory account of some of the great gifts and benefac tions with which Mr. Childs' name will go down to posterity. Further on , in Prof. Richard T. Ely's treatment of Mr. Childs' relations to his employeswo huvo a glimpse of him ns a model American employer who has the interests of each ono in his employ at heart. Such a thing us a strike or a dissatisfied employe is unknown in the Lodger ollico. And thus rounds out the pon-portrnlt of the life of u man whoso whole purpose hns been to do good to mankind , nnd to help the weak und lowly. The extent of Mr. Childs' charities will , perhaps , never bo known. ThousundH of doll urn uro given away by him each year of which the world never hours. Wealth bus not boon misplaced in bis keeping. The struggles of others always roculFlilsown. His grand , sympatheticheurt nnd ids great fortune have always been tuned to the sumo musio. Ho bus lightened the burdens of thou sands ; ho has strewn llowors in countless thorny paths. His life is fully rounded out in good und gracious deeds , und of no man can it bo so truthfully said Unit the world is bettor becnuso bo has lived in it. Tlio story of such a career can not have lee wide a circulation , nor can it be placed too freely into the bunds of the young as a stimulant to earnest en deavor and rightepus living. The title of the book is "Recollections of George AV. Childs , " and is published , at $1 , by the J. B. Lippineott company of Philu- dolphiu. Never neglect n constipated condition of the IwwelH , or serious results surely follow. Ntich as piles , inipuro blood and many clironi complaints. Burdock Blood Bitters is the remedy.

MR , REED AND HIS RULINGS , Republicans Who Shook Their Heads When They Were First Announced , FILIBUSTERS LAID TO REST , The People Want .More Business nml Less Political Kolifinlng lit Con gress The Prejudice Against Army Appropriations. WASIII.S-OTO.V , May 21. [ Special to TUB Ben. ] When Speaker Heed minounceil shortly nftcr his election an presiding oDlccr of the house that ho intended to ndvoeuto the arbitrary cede of rales which hns governed the lower branch of congress since last De cember there were a number of old and here tofore far-seeing members who shook their heads ominously and said : "It won't do ; it will bo regarded as a revolution und will cast odium upon the party in power. Besides we have such a narrow majority that it will cause dissensions in our own party and defeat that absolute control which wo must have in order to can-y out the pledges of our party. " It was decreed in caucus that the code which now controls the proceedings of the house should ho adopted , di-splto the stern opposition of a number of gentlemen , two or three of whom had aspired to the speaker- ship. When it was seen that at least seven- eighths of the members wore unhesitatingly in favor of the arbitrary cede which was to defeat lilibustcring and enable the majority to rule , although its majority was never so narrow , the small minority dropped into line , still SHAKING I'M IICAI ) OMIXOUSLf. It must be said to the credit of those who were skeptical as to the advisability of the rules that they have given every possible en couragement and support in a faithful ad herence to the codo. Not a single man has at any time pulled back in the traces on the re publican side. The republicans have been fortunate In not having a lobbyist or specialist among their number. Every man who occupies a chair on the west side of the main isle is a republican from the ground up and is not sent here to represent any spec ialty and is not cxjcjlcd to run off on a tuu- gent. gent.A member of the committee on ways and means who is on familiar terms with Speaker Heed was talking to the Inttor the other day about the satisfaction which the now cede of rules was giving to the country us well as the house , when thu presiding oftlcor said some thing like this : "From almost every section of the country I have recivcd loiters congratulating mo upon the position I have taken for the government of the house. Unques tionably nineteen honest and thinking men out of twenty , irrespective ofparty feeling , believe in the rule of the majority , even though that majority is vested in a single man. Not only have our provisions to count a quorum present when there is a quorum within the hall of the house been adopted by all kinds of parliamentary bodies , but those provisions which are intended to prevent filibustering have also been incorporated in legislative and parliamentary bodies of all classes. We have undoubtedly made some discoveries which will bo given to the future generations aud which will economize , at least in the mat ter of time. I had no idea that there would bo such general commenda tion of some provisions in our rules ; but if you Will study the American people you will 11 ml that business interests go higher than political Interests und that any thing looking toward the consummation of business ends will bo commended as against political prejudices. I venture the assertion that if the Fifty-second congress is demo cratic every feature of our rules intended to give the majority the power to rule will be adopted by the democrats and those features of our cede of rules which have been de nounced as extremely offensive to our minority brethren will bo most highly cher ished by them when ily \ ore in the majority. SInce the Cashier Sllcott incident occurred the credit of the members of the house seems to have deteriorated very perceptibly. Within the last month a dozen members have complained that merchants and banks refuse to cash individual checks upon their banks at home unless identified and endorsed by men whoso credit is beyond pcradvcnturo of doubt. A member from ono of the agricultural states just beyond the Missouri river said ted uy : "I went into n bank here the other day and presented a check against my individual ac count at home , and the pay ing teller looked at mo in a puzzled sort of way and said that ho could not give mo the money because ho did not know mo. The check called for but $ ! iO , and I remarked that IT WAS rilETTY TOUOH when a member of congress could not get n check cashed for an amount scarcely sufficient to pay a week's board , and told him who I was. The teller without a blush replied that there were fifty men in congress who did not have a dollar's worth of credit at a bank , and that they never cashed a congressman's chock unless it was endorsed by some ono who was known to bo responsible and who had money to their credit. I was told that this was a universal rule and that oven the smallest private banks hero would not deviate from it. " There arc more than a dozen members of the house whose credit does not extend to the distance of being able toamluco other mem bers to endorse their checks for small amounts. Some idea of the prejudice existing in the house und also in the senate to a largo degree against the enlargement of the capacity of our army or militia may bo gained by the fact that almost every proposi tion of a general or private character looking towards the expansion of the army or state militia bus been smothered In committee. Very few measures have been given so much consideration that they have been reported back , to the house , especially. The senate is a little more liberal , and has reported some bills providing new buildings nt the barracks and army ixxsts and the purchase of additional ground ; but the house has looked with dis favor upon nearly all propositions of this kind. kind.When When the Fifty-first congress convened Colonel Henderson of Iowa introduced u bill which was Intended to glvo now eheor and add additional zest to the state mllttla by giving a larger appropriation and allowance to the men , which would crento an incentive for records and cause non-commissioned oftl- cors to aspire to promotion. The bill has been favorably reported from the house com mittee and Is on the calendar , but there is no probability that it will bo taken up for consideration , although I am as sured by Colonel Henderson that it would recelvo a majority vote if it could bo considered. The friends of the measure uro indifferent as to whether it Is taken up , and there uro enough economists and Individuals prejudiced against the army uid the militia to fight over tlnal considera tion if a move was made to gixo the bill u hearing. Militiamen throughout the country .ire realizing the situation mid are writing lo their representative * , soliciting their sup port of this bill , but tlio prospects are very discouraging. Every movement made in the direction of enlarging the list of second lieutenants und giving additional allowances to non-com- nlHsloned officers in the army has boon promptly sat down upon , while every suggestion for an extra appropriation for the army , intended to either fncreaso tholr sal aries or muku it possible to enlarge the on- .istmcnt rolls , has been nlppod in the bud before emerging from embryo. Evidently congress has como to the conclusion that wo have already moro Koldiei-n than wo huvo need for , und that there is no demand for thu militia. Within ten days the largest AltMV or CESSl'S-TAKKIH ihnt over moml upon u population will begin ; ho work of nscurtalning the resources of the United States in the way of souls and prop erty. Almost us many men will bo engaged .n this work during tno month of Juno as fought on either side during the late war. J'ho labor of the enumerators is expected to close at the end of thirty days , but the super visors nml i > ectal agwits will bo engaged some time after that iwrlod. Evurv man , wuinan and child is interested in making the census nut only u bueccss in the wnv of ac curacy , but economy , uiul all good "citizens should ooppnito with thu feaor.il govern ment in its honcat endeavors Dumocrutia politicians nnd Journals edited by suspicion * persons have conspired with demagogues and rascals to advise the people to refuse to give the enumerator * certain information re quired aud specified under tlio schedule of In * tcrrogittorles. Tills is all wrong , nnd If this ill tempered advlco U followed will lead many txn-sons into much trouble. There Is n law which punishes by line or Imprisonment or Iwth , those who refuse to answer faith fully the questions propounded by enumer ator ! * . The government has no object In gathering information of any kind which U not bene- llclal to all men and women who live under the stars and strliMis. It is Intended tin1' tht.s census shall bo fruitful of certain valuable information which It has been Impossible to glean In n private way. \ \ o are to not only to learn how many people there an ; in the United Stales so that congressional districts may bo apportioned , hut wo nro to know all about our productions from the soli nnd fac tory , to ascertain the physical us well as spiritual conditions of our ] > eople , the ravages of disease , and a great many other things , which will lead ) > olltlcal and financial econo mists to avoid many of the trials to which the human family is heir. By a strictud- herenco to the requirement * of the census laws and a faithful co-operation on the part of the public n fund of information will result which will bo the greatest blessing ever passed uiwn tlio American people. It will probably bo two years from this tlmo before oven the compendium of the census is published .so that the average elti- 7on can see the result of this great work ; but there will be bulletins and advance shock * which will enable health and other authorities to take charge of the conditions within six months after the completion of the labor of the enumerators. The result of the eleventh census is expected to give the United States the greatest boom throughout the world that it has ever had , nnd only people who would sympathize with the enemies of our country are advising against a non-co-operation with the government's agents. An incident occurred during the debate in the house on Monday , when the load section of the tariff oill was under discussion , which brought out from the democratic side a con fession of the wisdom of republican doctrine respecting reciprocal commercial treaties and a tariff for protection. After the democrats hail fought with vigor to keep lead nro on the free list they submitted an amendment au thorizing the president to suspend the opera tion of the law imposing a duty on lead ore whenever Mexico abolishes the law which it established in retaliation to our law making lead ere pay a duty. Jn isss wo imposed ! i duty on lead ore. Up to that tlmo Mexico furnished us nearly all of the lead which we consumed , leaving the unlimited lead re sources of this country undeveloped : but when wo declared that our lead mines .should give us the supply of this material , and the foreign article should pay tribute to our in dustries in the way of a duty , Mexico ilew into arms against us and imposed n duty on our farm implements and a lot of other arti cles which wo had up to that time sent into that country without a tax. If there has been one thing which the dem ocrats have fought against more than another because the solving of the tariff problem by the adoption of commercial reciprocity , would defeat the democratic idea of absolute and not inure to the benefit of'England which has free trade for the world , it is tlio republican doctrine that whenever wo admit free of duty any article from a foreign country wo should at the same time compel the country to admit an equivalent free of duty from pur markets. It is the prime republican principle that it would be folly to give free trade to any country unless in return we secured free ex port Of our surplus. Unwittingly the demo crats admitted the justice and wisdom of tills argument when it made the proposl- on to open reciprocal commercial treaties with Mexico for the article of lead ore. The propositions of the democrats did not come In a feasible form und it was rejected ; but all the same the republicans succeeded in driv ing the democrats into a corner where they bud to admit the wisdom of republican doc trine. It is bclioved that there will not bo another tariff bill passed by congress nftcr the adop tion of the McKinley measure until there have been very radical changes in our im torior conditions. Commercial treaties nro to solve the export and import problem for the future. This will negative the theory that there is business sense in placing on the free list any article without opening into some other country a way for the free admission of ono of our surplus productions , anil will set at rest the talk about free raw materials to bo manufactured by protected labor when there is not n protected market for the prod ucts of that labor.

The musio will be furnished by an orchestra of twelve pieces. In addition to this fifty vocal ists of the organization will form the chorus. The Ball corset has soft eyelets. Soft eyelets are loops of corset lace stitched into the corset ; softer , smoother , pleasanter , neater , more womanlike than metal. The Ball is the easiest ever worn by woman. The ease is due to covered coils of fine- wire spring in the sides. These springs hug the figure gently , and yield with every little strain. The Ball is "boned"with Kabo that never breaks or kinks or rolls up or shifts from its place. You can wear a Ball corset two or three weeks ; and , if you don't like it , return it to where you got it and get your money back. The manufact urer pays the merchant to do that.
