Railroad Regulation from the Standpoint of a Business Man. Wm. H. Maher in Chicago Inter-Ocean. A few nights since I attended a reception given to the receiver of an important but bankrupt railroad system. The legal advis- er of the receiver, in response to a toast, said that it had long been the habit in meet- ings of his profession to drink to the man who made is own will, as their best client; but that this would now be changed to a toast to the Inter-state Commerce Law. I fancied as I listened to him that it was barely possible railroad men did not look at this law quite so dispassionately as they might if they were outside of its restrictions, and that although it might hamper them and prove a drag on their actions, the aver- age business man wanted to see it honestly and fairly tested before it is condemned. The railroad business of the country, both in the building of the roads and in the management of them, has been prostituted and polluted with fraud. Many of the roads were conceived in iniquity, and built only for the purpose of blackmail and rob- bery. Lines built to meet the demands of the business of the country have had to divide with lines built only*for stock-job- bing purposess. No Claude Duval of a highwayman ever said in plainer terms, with his hand on the throat of his victim, “Stand and deliver!” than have many of these roads said to the older roads, ‘‘Divide or be ruined!” And the older man was in the position of the man who said, ‘‘VH be d—d if I will; Pil be d d if I don’t.” In either case ruin was inevitable. A system of moralty has grownup among railroad men that should properly be called a system of immorality. Stockholders elected managers to work for the best in- terests of the company, but these managers began at once to ignore the company en- tirely, and to work only for their own in dividual profit. Itis no uncommon thing in the history of railroads to see the officers steal the road from the stockholders, but no man loses caste for this among honest busi- ness men orin society. It is a standing joke among humorists, when all other ma- terial fails, to send the man to jail who stole a ham, and send him to Congress who stole a railroad. Perhaps Congress is the appropriate place for such men in more senses than one. : Business men in the centers of trade have been protesting for years against railroad managers assuming the functions of the Deity. Cities have been built up or pulled down at the sweet will or private interests ofa manager of freight trafiic. Special rates have been given one man which ena- bled him to undersell or overbid his com- petitors, and he has thriven while they had to struggle for a mere existence. The law of ‘‘addition, division, and silence” was rigidly observed between the general freight agent and those with whom the boodle was divided. The ways of doing this were manifold, but they were effective. And the manager of the road grew rich as the stockholders grew poor. Is it a won- der that he was soon able to squeeze them out, and take his proper rank as a great railroad magnate? No city in the West has suffered more from this system of railroad wrecking than has Toledo. She has seen her magnificant grain trade and possibilities of increas® turned aside, that a favorite of some rail- road might be enriched, and every other house humbled. Because the president of a Tole- do railroad happened to live at Detroit, To- ledo has seen her grain switched off forty- seven miles farther to Detroit, at Toledo rates, simply to gratify him. Her princi- pal grain men have had to pay local rates onegrain to Toledo, while a favored firm was given New York rates pro rata to Toledo, the difference being of itself a good profit to the favored firm. In discrimination in freight from the East she has suffered, as have all cities. He who knew best how to apply the rules of the ‘‘division and silence” was given rebates and rates that overrode the legitimate laws of business, and made a jobbing house pros- perous, as it was an adept in bribery rather than because of its business ability. Men sought to have officers changed in the hope that justice might have sway with new men, but it is a disgraceful fact that re- ceivers might come and receivers might go, but stealing went on forever. The new men came with the hands of Esau, but the voice was the voice of Jacob unerringly. When General J. D. Cox was made re- ceiver of the Wabash he found that the first necessary step in the way of reform was the discharging of some of the old officers, and this done he demonstrated to the finan- cial world that the road was able to earn and pay interest on its bonds. When Judge Gresham, a few months ago, took it out of the hands of men who were abusing their trust, he turned over with it to Judge Cooley the very men who connived with and enabled the old receivers to commit the wrongs which the Court so vigorously con- demned, and Judge Cooley did not hold the office long enough to get started on the work of reform, but in turn handed the trust, general officers and all, over to Gen- | eral MeNulta, who has made the reputation for himself of considering that a railroad belongs to the stockholders, and not to the salaried general officers. When a_ business has become so thoroughly honeycombed with fraud, what could the public do to remedy the wrong? Efforts at amelioration from State Legisla- tures proved abortive, for in some cases the railroad managers owned the State. Pro- tests went forward from city and village against the system of unjust discrimination and the policy of favoritism and bribery and at last Congress crystallized these com- plaints into the measure for their redress— the Inter-State Commerce Law. What does the law aim at? What does it propose to do? It aims at the abuse that is so widespread and so damnable of building up one city at the expense of an- other; of diverting trade at the expense of the public; of discriminating in rates be- tween men who are entitled to the same treatment, and proposes to make it impossi- ble to switch off business from its natural courses. That the law is faulty can not be denied, nor was it to be expected otherwise. The abuses of a generation can not be cured in one session of Congress. But the law is a move in the right direction, and embodies the fact that there are abuses, and that Congress proposes to do something toward correcting them. Iam much mistaken in the feelings of the times if we do not see this law improved and made more efficient year by year. And I think State Legisla- tures will grapple with the abuses and ren- der it impossible to do in one State what the larger law prohibits between States. It is a law founded on justice and on the righteous demands of the business interests of the country, and though its enforcement may for awhile produce chaos in railroad management, in that very fact is seen the best evidence of the great need of its pro- vision. Itis time that railroad managers and general managers were held to the same rule of morals that governs the bank- er and business man. Better that there should be chaos among railroads for awhile than that they should corrupt the country. Let us be patient with the law; our hopes of relief are gone if this attempt to correct a flagrant abuse is of no avail. <> <> Some Faults in the Omaha Organization. When the retail grocers of Omaha began agitating organization, several weeks ago, they sent to the editor of Tur TRADESMAN for a model constitution and blanks, which were promptly furnished. The following letter from the President of the organiza- tion shows the progress made: OmaitA, Neb., May 9, 1887. B, A. Stowe, Grand Rapids; DEAR Sir—I enclose youa copy of the by-laws and constitution of the Omaha Ke- tail Grocers’ Association. You will, no doubt, think us a little tardy in getting started, but having now got fair- ly organized, we commence business in earnest next Wednesday night. Pardon the seeming negligence. on my part in not writing you sooner, but until we had made some progress, I could make no report. Thanking you for your interest and well wishes for our welfare and promising to keep you posted in the future Tam Very truly, A. F. Ross, Pres. Tuk TRADESMAN is pleased to see that the form of constitution and by-laws recom- mended by its editor was adopted without material change. Considering that similar drafts were obtained from associations all over the country, the selection of the Michi- gan constitution is a compliment to the State and to the men who made it. The Omaha organization has made a ser- ious mistake, however, in fixing the mem- bership dues at $1 per month. Sueh ex- pense is likely to serve as a barrier to a large membership, unless the Omaha gro- cers have learned a method of investing funds not possessed by their brethren in other parts of the country. The Grand Rapids Retail Grocers’ Association is able to maintain itself on monthly dues of 25 cents, and the constantly increasing surplus in the treasury warns the members that quarterly dues of 50 cents would be amply sufficient to meet the ordinary running ex- penses. One dollar a month is altogether too steep. Another action which serves to place the Omaha organization in a ridiculous light is the selection of the Chicago Grocer as its official organ. If the need of an organ is felt, it ought to be run and controlled by the Association, by some members of the organization, or some one who has the con- fidence of the members—a man whose sym- pathies are with the retailtrade. The Den- ver grocers haye solved this question by the publication of their bright exponent, the Retail Grocer, which is owned by members of their Association and whose editorial columns beat in unison with the grocers’ needs and desires. To select a house organ —the servile mouth-piece of a jobbing house—to represent the retail trade looks a good deal like the archangel delegating his authority to the devil. The Omaha grocers should rescind their action in this matter or the other organizations of the country will not be blamed if they fook upon the Omaha Association as the annex of a jobbing house. MACARONI. How Italy’s Favorite Product is Made in This Country. From the Philadelphia Herald. ‘You give me chalk for cheese” is an old Italian saw that was evidently never intend- ed to be applied to macaroni. You might fool an Italian on chalk, but, if there is one thing above another upon which your aver- age Neapolitan or Genoese prides himself, it is his knowledge of his national dish. He knows it from its Alpha to its Omega, and will tell you that its name was derived from the Greek Hesych, which means ‘perfect happiness—bliss,” and he'll tell you that macaroni is worthy of its name. There is only one big establishment in Philadelphia where macaroni is made, and that is located at Eighth and Christian streets. There are several small places where the paste is made by hand, and many | Italian families prepare theirown. How is it made? The first thing necessary is to mix and knead the dough. For this purpose a large wooden bowl or trough is required, the size of which is six feet in diameter and over one foot in depth. In this a millstone revolves, weighing over 3,000 pounds. About 200 pounds of flour are emptied into the bowl, and enough water added to make a thick dough. This is spread around the inside of the bowl. ‘The machinery is then put in motion, and the heavy stone wheel begins to revolve upon the flour and water, which have been placed in such a way that the weight and motion of the wheel are con- tinually pressing, rolling and kneading it. From the roller the dough goes to the presser. This is an iron machine, cylindri- cal in form, about two feetin height and one and a half feet in diameter, which is placed in a perpendicular position. The lid of the presser, which is of solid iron and fits exactly inside of the cylinder, is connect- ed with a large steel screw of immense pow- er. The bottom of the presser is a copper plate, one anda half inches in thickness, and is perforated with small holes. About 100 pounds of the dough are put into the press. The lid is then fitted on and the ma- chinery started. The immense power of the serew is now seen, as it gradually forces the lid toward the bottom. The effect of this pressure upon the dough serves to force it through the holesin. the bottom, from which it emerges in tube-like form. The holes in the copper plate are filled in the center, so that the dough can only be forced through them around the edges, and, in that way, the macaroni is made hollow. When the larger varieties of macaroni are to be cut into different sizes, quantities of it are spread upon a heavy slab, and an at- tendant, who is an expert in the work, pro- ceeds to cut the stock as required. The knife used hasa blade twenty inches in length. The handle is held firmly in the right hand, while the left hand is used as a lever. So precise is the work that the piec- es cut seldom vary the sixteenth of an inch. In cutting the smaller kinds and the fancy paste, a presser, placed horizontally, used, and an attachment, consisting of sev- eral short knives worked by steam, cuts the goods as required as they emerge. After coming from the presses, the maca- roni is placed upen wooden trays and -con- veyed to the drying room. It is then spread upon wooden feet wide and eight feet long. Across the bottoms of the frames a network of heavy twine is made, and upon this is spread thick brown paper. The macaroni is puton top of the paper, and the frame is placed upon a large rack that reaches from floor to ceiling. As great quantities of these goods are con- | sumed, their manufacture furnishes a dis- | tinct branch of trade, which gives employ- ment to many people. In Philadelphia there are several of these manufactories, the | one here described being the glargest in this country, and one of the best in the world. | | is frames, four In this place alone from three to five thous- and pounds of stock are made ina single day, and ready sale is found for the entire lot, part of which is shipped to California, | } and some even to the Sandwich Islands. | —-——- Miscellaneous Questions and Their An-}| swers. | The Seeretary of the White Cloud Busi- ness Men’s Ass¢ ciation makes the following enquiries: 1. How do we go to work to get up our delinquent list? 2. Do we want to send the names of all our delinquents to the State Association or only those who have moved to other towns? 3. Have we any right to publish the names of our delinquents in the village pa- per? We should like to do so, if no good reason stands in the way. 4. Has the State Association ever made any move to prevent the wholesale houses selling to consumers, such as hotels, board- ing houses and private families? 5. Have we, as an Association, any right | to form or help to form other organizations in surrounding towns? ANSWERS. 1. After the Blue Letter and Secretary’s | blank have been sent out, and no responses are made to either notifigation, the Secre- cory | business it is to classify the names alpha- betically and cause them to be published in proper form. In the ease of disputed ac- counts, impartial hearings should be given both debtor and creditor, and a report on the case, just to all parties concerned, made to the Association. On the vote of the ma- jority of the members present, the name is printed on, or withheld from, the delinanent list. 2. At present the State Association takes cognizance only of persons who remove from the ‘jurisdiction of the Association which has placed them on the delinquent list. 3. Thatisa point of law which a lawyer. could best be answered by Such a course is not advised, because it too much of maliciousness. partakes Many persons whose names are on the delinquent list"pay up, to remove the stigma, but if the names were printed in a newspaper such publica- tion would undoubtedly settle the accounts for all time to The experience of the older Assoeiations’'goes to prove that publication on the delinquent list is preferable to newspaper publication. 4. Thatis wholly a local matter, and ean be remedied by each Association doing come. far as the Grand Rapids grocers have done— circulate a Roll of Honor for signatures, and refuse to buy goods of any house or traveling man who makes a practice of selling to consumers. 5. Certainly you have. Every local As- sociation organized in your vicinity adds strength to your Association by enabling you; to present a more solid front to the dead-beat and peddler. Do all you can to encourage local organization in neighbor- ing towns, and the results will amply reply you for ali your time and trouble. ~- -o- <— — Counterfeits. “What do you eall this?” asked a physi- cian the other day of a Detroit Tribune re- porter, producing a quantity of brown pow- dered substance. “Ground cinnamon,” was the prompt re- ply. ‘‘Anybody who can know that.” “Well, your olfactories have astray this time,” said the doctor. “What is it, then?” “Ground smell ought to led you tobaeco boxes, with a little of cinnamon thrown over it togive it the prop- er flavor.

In accordance with a suggestion from the editor of Tuk TRADESMAN, the furniture manufacturers at this market held a meeting last Friday evening and selected five of their number to go to Lansing this week in the interest of the Cole anti-board insurance bill. While there.the gentlemen ought also to turn their attention to another measure which is of even more importance than the Cole bill. Tur TRADESMAN refers to the measure which provides that the Insurance Commissioner, the Attorney General and athird member to be appointed by the Governor shall constitute a committee to draft a uniform insurance policy, to be used by all insurance companies doing business in this State. It is essential that the third member of the committee be a man who is not prejudiced in favor of the insurance companies and the Grand Rapids delega- tion will do themselves and the business in- terests of the State a service if they can im- press that fact on Governor Luce. - Good Words Unsolicited. Edgar & Allyn, general dealers, Dushville: “We think ‘The Tradesman” a very valuable paper.” Frank Weaver, grocer, Manton: “It is the best paying article I have in the store. I could not do business without it.” Cornell & Griswold, general dealers, Gris- wold: ‘We like your paper very much. It saves us money every week.” J. A. LeBeau, grocer, Forest Hill: it a good one.” “Think When They Are Wanted. From the White Lake Business Exchange. An error exists in the minds of some sim- ple yet honest people regarding the aim of the Business Men’s Association. It is not to put up prices or agree to charge certain prices for certain goods. Such things are not discussed. Neither is it to hamper any person who will make an effort even to pay his debts. In fact, particular pains is taken to keep the names off the dead-beat list of all who try to do the square thing; but when they won’t, then we want ’em on the list, for ‘‘they never will be missed.” —---—>- as Tired of Trifling.

A. Full Report of the Annual Convention -of Michigan Division. The second annual convention of Michi- gan Division, T. P. A., convened at Royal Areanum hall, in this city, Friday morning, May 13. President Kelsey called the con- yention to order, when Mr. J. Mathews in- troduced John P. Faure, President of the New York City Post, and J. H. Lempert, Vice-President of the Buffalo Post. Both gentlemen took seats on the platform on the invitation of the President. On motion of L. J. Koster, a committee of three was appointed to draft suitable res- olutions to forward to the Legislature, fa- voring the bill reducing railway fare to two cents a mile, The chair appointed as such committee, L. J. Koster, M. J. Matthews and W. S. Gould. L. J. Allen, C. L. Zacharie and Geo. W. Noble were appointed Committee on Order of Business, and Geo. F. Owen, M. J. Matthews and A. F. Peake Committee on Resolutions. The first-named Committee promptly presented its report, when Presi- dent Kelsey read his annual address, as fol- lows: In again greeting the members of the Michigan Division on the occasion of their third annual convention, I desire to express my personal gratification that even under adverse circumstances, so many of our State membership are in attendance at our open- ing session. I regret to make the sad announcement that since our last annual meeting two val- ued members of this Division have been summoned from our midst by the hand of death—Brothers Eli L. Jones, of Battle Creek. and Louis R. Gainsley, of Tecumseh. It is eminently fitting that ap- propriate action be taken be by this conven- tion, expressive of its sorrow, and as a tribute of respect to the memories of the deceased. I therefore recommend that this convention set apart a limited time at its af- ternoon session for such memorial exercises. The State Treasurer’s report indicates no State debts, and a cash balance on hand and in the National treasury. The Secretary’s report gives the present status of State membership. The chairman of the Legislative Commit- tee reports the general result accomplished, in accordance with the general detail of leg- islative work, as given out by the National chairman, in the pledging of Congressional nominees to the repeal of the drummer tax. The chairman of the Railroad Committee announces an advance of mileage rates and the withdrawal of week-end tickets on all railroads operating in Michigan, except the Grand Trunk system and D., L. & N. The chairman of the Press Committee re- ports uniform courtesies extended by the State press. The chairman of the Hotel Committee re- ports no complaints against hotels or inves- tigations ordered. The chairman of the Bus and Baggage Com- mittee reports uniform rates of one fare for round trip prevailing on nearly all lines throughout the State and reduced rates for the transportation of baggage. The chairman of the Relief Committee re- ports no cases for relief. Among the several subjects which will claim the consideration of this convention, I call attention to the Inter-State Commerce Bill as first in importance. The effect of this measure on the commercial travelers, independent of its disastrous effect on inter- nal trade and industries, has been to add the enormous sum of $125,000 to their daily expenses. Whether this is the result of a forced interpretation on the part of the rail- roads is not specially a subject for consider- ation. The fact remains that the effect of the measure takes from the commercial travelers a larger sum daily than the law could possibly benefit any State in the Un- ion for six months. The action of the convention should be based on this proposition: Do the best in- terests of the commercial fraternity demand an enforcement of the law, a modification of its provisions, or a repeal of the bill? The incorporation of a National Bureau of Employment, with the President of the National Association in ‘charge, deriving from its (if successful) operation a revenue to the National Association, which shall eventually make it not only self-supporting but a means of accumulating a fund, be- sides guaranteeing employment to worthy members. E. A. Stowe, J. W. Palmer and A. L. Lay were appointed Committee on Presi- dent’s Address. The Committee on'Transportation report- ed a resolution favoring the passage of the bill reducing railway fare, which was dis- cussed at some length and adopted. The Secretary was instructed to telegraph the resolution to the House of Representativ es. Several verbal reports were received from standing committees, all of which were uni- formly favorable. The Committee on President’s Address re- ported as follows: Your Committee on President’s Address would respectfully report that they have ex- amined the address of the presiding officer and feel impelled to commend its spirit and earnestness. Regarding the recommendation as ° to memorial exercises on our two departed members we would respectfully report in favor of setting apart a half hour during the afternoon session, at such time as the pre- siding officer may direct, for memorial ad- dresses. The suggestion as to the inauguration of a National Employment Bureau is so new to us, and has received so little thought on the part of your committee, that we do not fee] competent to pass an opinion on the subject. We can see, however, how such a Bureau, properly managed, could be made advantageous to the Association, and we recommend that the same be referred to the National convention. The subject of the inter-commerce law we recommend to be referred to the Com- mittee on Transportation. Respectfully submitted, E. A. STowE, J. W. PALMER, A. L. Lay. The report of the Secretary and Treasur- er showed 583 members in good standing and $70.79 in the treasury. The detailed statements in the report have appeared in THE TRADESMAN in the monthly reports of the Sec’y-Treas. The Secretary accompan- ied the report by the following general ob- servations: The past year has been one of activity and usefulness, and had our labors not been blighted by the deadly simoon which has proved so fatal to American industries, they would have been crowned with suc- cess. However, our Association has steadi- ly advanced, and in point of usefulness and effectiveness, has attained a prominence and recognition at the hands of leading railway officials that we had hardly hoped for. Our claims upon legislative bodies have been intelligently, persistently and ef- fectually urged by our untiring State Legis- lative Committee,led by our National chair-' man, who, we are proud to say, is a Michi- gan man. The lightly-falling ballots chose men who were favorable to our claims re- garding the James bill and the U.S. Su- preme Court, urged thereto by our petitions for redress, has decided the infamous drum- mer tax law unconstitutional. Leading trunk lines require a membership in one of our Associations as a condition for the pur- chase of mileage at reduced rates. During the year, not an instance of violation of our contracts with railroads has been brought to notice, and it is not hoping too much to be- lieve that, ere long, we shall receive the de- sired ccneessions now withheld by some railway lines. The duties incumbent upon this office re- quire much more time than I have been able to devote thereto and much more effective work might have been accomplished by some member whose time was not so fully occu- pied. I trust you will consider my derelic- tions of duty the result of inability and not from disinterestedness. Of our worthy President it is unnecessary for me to speak, as every member of our Association is cognizant of his unflagging zeal and the earnest, effective work which has characterized his official and personal efforts for the advancement of our Associa- tion during his occupancy of the highest of- fice in our State Association. The action of principal trunk lines in re- quiring a membership in this or similar as- sociations to be a requisite for obtaining re- duced mileage and excess baggage permits has been a great incentive to joining our Di- vision, and our State membership has in- creased materially during the past month, as will be seen in our monthly report for April in our official organ, THE MICHIGAN TRADESMAN. In this connection, I wish to acknowledge our obligations as an Asso- ciation, and myself as an officer, to Mr. Stowe for the many favors and courtesies extended to us. He has always been ready and willing to devote his time and columns to our interest, and his outspoken editorials have ever been on the side of, and in sym- pathy with, our brotherhood. In retiring from my office at_ the close of this year, I wish to extend my sincere thanks to our President, Vice-President, Board of Directors, Chairmen of State Com- mittees and all members who have so kind- ly and promptly responded tomy calls for assistance and information required in the discharge of my official duties. Itrust thatthe year before us may be richly laden with success and prosperity to us as an Association. AFTERNOON SESSION. After prayer by Rev. Chas. Fluhrer, the presiding officer announced that the next half hour would be devoted to memorial ex- ercises of deceased members. Geo. F. Ow- en presented brief biographical sketches of Eli L. Jenes and Louis R. Gainsley, pre- pared by Secretary Mills, a resolution of condolence from the Committee on Resolu- tions, the action taken by the State Board of Directors and a letter from the family of the§ late Mr. Gainsley. The resolutions were adopted and the Secretary instructed to forward copies of same to the families of the deceased members. President Kelsey paid a feeling tribute to both members and L. J. Allen spoke of his friendship for Mr. Allen. M. J. Matthews spoke in favor of the re- organization of the T. P. A. on the plan of local posts, making the conventions dele- gated bodies, from the local posts up. John Faure, of New York City, spoke in favor of the same subject, holding*that such a change would be necessary before two more years had elapsed. The speaker paid an eloquent tribute to the traveling man, asserting that the time has come when the traveler’s grip- sack has come to be of more value to the merchant than the counter in his store. M. J. Matthews presented the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopt- ed: Resolved, That this Association hereby recognize and express its appreciation of all favors granted to its members during the past year by the several railroads in the State of Michigan and especially to the Grand Trunk system and the Detroit, Lan- sing & Northern Railway, for continuing to grant mileage books to the members at the rate of two cents per mile, since the Inter- State act became a law. Resolved—That this convention hereby recognize the obligations it is under to THE MicHIGAN TRADESMAN for its fair and impartial reports of the proceedings of our State Division and Board of Directors and recommend that it still be recognized as the official organ of the Associa- tion and recommend the members to support it by a liberal subscription list. Resolved—That the fundamental princi- ple of the growth of the Association through the medium of local posts has our approval and endorsement and that the delegates to the National convention from this State be and are hereby _ instruct- ed to favor legislation tending to this end and recommend for their Association the plan to be submitted to the annual ineeting of the National Association by C. L. Pease, of Columbus, Ohio. L. J. Koster called upon National Seere- tary Stone, who responded as follows: 1 know of no topic which affords a broad- er field for thought than that which has not only had its effect upon our Association, but upon the whole country. By one act of Congress, the concessions granted to our Association by fifty-eight roads were swept away. Not only in this did it affect us, but it had the effect of increasing the price of mileage and decreasing the amount of bag- gage. The corporations claim that the law compels them to do this, which, if I can in- terpret the twenty-second section, is a very slim excuse, as it states that this law shall not apply to mileage or excursion rates; and the action of one road in still selling mileage at $20 should be evidence enough that the other roads could have continued, if they had felt so inclined. The question, ‘‘What aclion shall be taken to remedy the evil?” arises. Shallaclass who spend annually over three hundred million dollars for trav- eling, and who hold the freights in their hands submit to this unjust discrimination? Ihave given this subject much thought and have come to the conclusion that the action of the Llinois Division is the best method to adopt. The State President of Illinois called a meeting of the merchants and manufacturers of Chicago and laid be- fore them the actions of the railways and the difference it cost them the ensuing year for traveling expenses. It so thoroughly aroused them that they held an indigna- tion meeting. They formed themselves, into an association to be known as the Merchants and Manufacturers’ Associa- tion of Chicago. Resolutions were adopted condemning the actions of the railways, and a committee was appointed to present to them a resolution requesting the return of mileage at $20 and 250 pounds of bag- gage, or a 5,000 mile book. If they do not comply four roads will be selected on which to ship all freight. This Association has oe been organized for business, having com- plied with the laws of the State, I must again congratulate Michigan for not being behind, for I see by yesterday’s papers that the Merchants and Manufac- turers’ Exchange of Detroit has adopted res- olutions which practically declare a boycott against the Michigan Central for its refusal to sell 1,000 mile tickets at $20. This action was taken because the company re- fused to join in a friendly test case to de- termine the latter’s right to sell 1,000 mile tickets to commercial travelers. If we fail in this, there is only one other course to pursue, and that is work for the repeal of the law. Michigan Division should feel justly proud, having one road to be the first to grant us concessions and the only road _ to- day selling mileage at $20.- As an Association, we have one of the grandest opportunities to build an organiza- tion which shall reflect credit upon its members. As a fraternity over 200,000 strong, doing four-fifths of the entire busi- ness of the country, do you think we can not wield influence? You must remember that upon you depends much of the success of your employers. Sodoes the Associa- tion depend upon you. In vnity there is strength. We are dependent upon our united efforts to make our. Association a success and one which we may be proud of. Our Association has also been formed for the purpose of elevating the position of the commercial traveler, both socially and moral- ly, and to prove that he can bea gentleman and a Christian and an ornament to society. In conclusion, allow ine to thank you and your officers on behalf of the National As- sociation for the interest manifested by the Michigan Division during the past year, and for.the cordial weleome you have ex- tended to me. Geo. F. Owen announced that Hon. M. H. Ford was in the ball and moved that he be invited to address the convention. The motion was unanimously adopted, when Mr. Ford made a ringing address on the inter-state commerce law, stating that the first act he proposed to take on the assem- bling of the Fiftieth Congress was to intro- duce a bill repealing all clauses relating to passenger traffic and the “‘long and short haul” clause. The speaker was frequently applauded and sat down amida storm of applause. President Kelsey made a brief address, stating thatthe National convention would probably inaugurate a vigorous campaign in favor of the repeal of the law. L. J. Allen spoke of the demoralization incident to the passage of tbe law, when Mr. Ford asserted that the law was uncon- stitutional and would so be declared by the courts. He did not think it best to repeal the whole law, but to so amend it as to make it acceptable to all sections of the country. Geo. F. Owen presented the report of the railway committee, which was adopted. Secretary Mills called attention to the fact that he had plenty of constitutions and blank applications and for the members to govern themselves accordingly. On motion of M. J. Matthews, the officers of the T. P. A. Legion of Honor were con- tinued for another year. Several communications from absent members were read and placed on file. M. J. Matthews, Geo. W. Noble and E. A. Stowe were appointed a committee to determine the proper apportionment of the delegates to the National convention. It was decided to proceed to the election of officers the first thing Saturday morning, and L. J. Koster, C. L. Zacharie and J. B. tue were appointed a committee on creden- tials. President Kelsey called M. J. Matthews to the chair and moved that the delegates to the St. Louis convention be instructed to urge the inauguration of a Board of Em- ployment by the National Association, which was adopted. The meeting then ad- journed. THE BANQUET. The banquet at Sweet’s Hotel in the even- ing was by no means the least enjoyable feature of the convention. The spacious dining hall was thrown open about 9 o’clock, when the exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. Chas. Fluhrer. The T. P. A. or- chestra then rendered a choice selection, when Hon. M. H. Ford delivered the ad- dress of welcome, which was responded to by President Kelsey. Governor Luce then addressed the assemblage in his usual pleas- ing manner, when the viands were discuss- ed for the space of half an hour, during which time the T. P. >< Practical Experience.

A number of wealthy citizens, some of them Mugwumps, were in- terested in a proposal to cut off a part of the town of Beverley, and to organize it asa new town under thename of Beverley Farms. Thereupon they raised a sum of money, out of all relation to the legitimate expenses of the transaction, and entrusted this to a law- yer not of the best repute to lobby their bill through the Legislature. He had no proper use for the money, much of which he ad- mits having pocketed. But he was thought by his rich and respectable employers to be using it to buy votes and break down the opposition to the division. The people of Beverly who opposed the division got wind of the transaction and exposed it. So the residents of Beverly Farms are having themselves exposed as green horns in pub- lic business and cynical despisers of the honesty of the legislators of the State.

BUSINESS LAW. Brief Digests of Recent Decisions in Courts of Last Resort. “NATIONAL” BY STATE BANK. In the case of People ex rel. Hunt, At- torney-General, vs. National Savings Bank, the Supreme Court of Illinois declares it to be a matter of very serious doubt whether a state bank doing business exclusively under the laws of a state could legally adopt the word ‘‘National” as part of its corporate name. USE OF WORD TELEGRAPHIC MESSAGE—MISTAKE. In the case of Western Union Telegraph ©o. vs. Richman, recently decided by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, it appear- ed that a telegraph message was incorrectly sent to the plaintiff, who, doubting its cor- rectness, asked the operator whether he} 4 had not made a mistake. The operator said that he had asked back and had re-} 1 ceived word that the message was correct. The plaintiff did not ask to have the mes- Sage repeated. The court held that there ‘was no contributory negligence on the part of the receiver, and that he could re- cover damages against the company under the evidence. TRADE-MARK—THE WORD ‘‘KAISER” NOT EXCLUSIVE. ‘The question as to the right to the exclu- sive use of the word ‘‘Kaiser” as a trade- mark in connection with mineral waters was lately raised in the United States Circuit Court at New York in the ease of Luyties vs. Hollender. The plaintiffs, it appeared, had registered the word ‘*Kaiser as a trade-mark for natural mineral water. Their bottles were labeled ‘‘Kaiser Water. Schwalheims.” They sought to enjoin the defendants from selling mineral water in bottles labeled ‘‘Kaiser Water. Schwal- heims.” The court dismissed the bill for an injunction, holding that, inasmuch as the water so sold had for a long while been an article of trade in the hands or others, and had been called by the same name, there was no right to the exclusive use of the word ‘‘Kaiser.” EXPRESS COMPANY’S LIABILITY—LOSS OF PACKAGE. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania re cently affirmed a judgment of the Philadel- ; phia Court of Common Pleas, sustaining a! verdict for the plaintiff in the case of Holmes vs. Adams Express Co. In this case the plaintiff got a verdict for the full value of a lost package, although no value over $50 had been assigned to it and al- though the plaintiff offered no further proof of negligence on the part of the com- pany than the non-delivery of the package. The Supreme Court said, in giving judg- ment in the case: If goods are lost or in- jured while it the custody of an express company, in the absence of evidence which rebuts the presumption of negligence it will be presumed that the loss or injury was oc- casioned by the company, and it will be lia- ble for the actual value of the goods. In the present case no explanation was given for the failure to deliver the goods. So far as it is proved they may still bein the hands of the company and withheld from the “owner. Some Sensible Suggestions. The substitute for sugar, saccharine, ap- pears from the comparative meager accounts of it to be a substitute only for the taste of sugar. It must be remembered that sugar is some more than a condiment, and that its food value, although not large, is an appre- ciable quantity. It is just here that the chemist’s art has so far generally failed. They may produce, from inorganic or dead compounds, substitutes for the taste or smell, but theircompounds are almost neces- sarily stable and resist the action of the NINETEEN HUNDRED.

It is suggested that saccharine may be used to increase the sweetness of glucose and allow its substitution for cane sugar. The prac- ticability of the scheme depends simply on the commercial production of the new prin- ciple. Glucose, in spite of the denuncia- tion it receives, is as good a food stuff as cane sugar, if not better. Prohibitory laws, similar to those passed forbidding the sale of oleomargarine, may attempt for a time, €£ to prevent the public from reaping the ben- | efit of such discoveries, but all such special trade laws will utterly fail, if the process | prove practicable. So high an authority as | Professor Remsen, of the Johns Hopkins’ University, in whose laboratory and under | whose direction saccharine was discovered, states his disbelief in the commercial suc- cess of the manufacture of saccharine for. this purpose. Less well informed people | must wait and see what the German firm) which has now started the manufacture cf the substance will be able to do. As sac-) charine is admitted to be 230 times sweeter | than cane sugar, a very small amount of it! may be expected to go a long ways, and the, price may be correspondingly high without | rendering its use as a condiment impractic- | able.

His claims are that his company will get judgment in court without costing the merchant one cent and that they are collecting 75 per cent. of all claims in their hands to-day. Their claims are so extravagant that I think the thing a‘enide. If so, write them up hard and oblige. Yours truly, P. W. KANE, Pres. Holland B. M. A. The ‘‘agency” above referred to is prob- ably ona par with the many fraudulent concerns which have heretofore been ex- posed by THE TRADESMAN. Just who is conducting the alleged ‘‘agency” it has been impossible to ascertain, but the notorious Harry Brooks is connected with the con- cern, which is all that honest men want to know about it. Brooks is a notorious thief, having jumped bail a short time ago on a charge of obtaining goods under false pre- tenses. He was then operating a swin- dling collection scheme in connection with a shyster named Roby and obtained a watch of a man by promising. to put a claim into a judgment, which he did not do. Any concern which tolerates, or is managed by such a character is not entitled to a particle of confidence by business men. Swindling collection schemes are coming to be about as thick as mosquitods in sum- mer. The moral will readily be appreci- ated by business men, which is—organize an association, collect your own accounts, and steer clear of all the devises invented by shyster lawyers and recognized thieves to entrap the unweary. - ————-—_ iP -9-—=— The Wholesale Grocery Peddlers May Come to Grief. Hopkins SraTion, May 14, 1887. B. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids: DEAR Str—We are just now infested with the Detroit traveling leech, who is selling groceries to the farmers. Iam told that they make a delivery here next week of acar-load. They represent J.WA. & J. Q. Williams, of Detroit. Of course there is no way to stop this damned fraud, but I learn that they are selling tobaccos. Now, in all probability, they are sharp enough to have a license, but I propose to know if they have one for this district or township, or not, and as a favor, will you find out at the revenue office and let me know if they have one. My opinion is that they should have a wholesale license. They delivered at Byron yesterday. Of course, if they have a license, all O. K.; but, if not, why then the dance opens. Perhaps they may have a license taken out for some other town—one of the salesmen taking it out in his name, but the delivery to be made here. I wish you would give me any points which you are able to—amount of license and ail you may know in regard to the sublect. tespectfully, F. B. WATKINS. Such a thing as a wholesale tobacco license is not known—the wholesaler pays the same tax as the retailer, $2.40 per year. The men who have been selling goods to farmers—with the exception of Jos. Was- son, of Hoytville, who has had ‘‘deliveries” at Wayland and Middleville—have no licenses and an officer of the revenue de- pattment will go to Hopkins Station to-day to interview the men who have been doing business illegally. ———_ The attention of the retail trade is hereby directed to the cigar advertisement of Bulk- ley, Lemon & Hoops, on another page of this week’s paper. A reporter of THE TRADESMAN was shown through their ci- gar department a day or two ago, and can say, without any exaggeration, that the house in question has the largest and finest line of cigars to be found anywhere in the State. Messrs. Bulkley, Lemon & Hoops also deserve great credit for being the first wholesale grocery house in Michigan to lead off with a cigar department, separate and distinct from the other branches of their Such enterprise deserves more passing notice. ep Ale Buy your Bug Finish of Curtiss & Dunton. ‘Realized More than the Cost.” Howanrp City, May 10, 1887. E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids: DEAR Str—The treasurer of our Associa- tion has been instructed to forward to you the necessary amount to entitle us to the benefits of the State Association, twenty-one members having paid the fee at our meeting two weeks ago. The Blue Letter system of collecting old accounts is proving to be an excellent thing with us and the most of us have realized a great deal more benefit al- ready than it has cost us to organize, besides the satisfaction derived therefrom. Yours very truly,” B. J. Lowry, Sec’y. en The Two Extremes. “This pair of good shoes for $1,” was a sign that attracted the attention of a report- er as he walked down Washington street a few morningsago. As the shoes, to all ap- pearance, seemed to be worth many times their advertised price the reporter stepped in and asked the proprietor how he could afford to sell such a shoe at sucha cheap price. © ‘‘Cheap!” answered the proprietor laugh- ing, ‘‘why, that is the most expensive shoe we have in the house. Moreover, it is the most expensive shoe in all Boston. That shoe sells for $1. It is worth 50 cents. Its uppers are made out of the very cheapest sort of leather, generally rotten, and its soles are almost all paper. One good wet- ting will make the whole shoe fall to piec- es. But my trade demands it. There are always persons who buy a thing, no matter whether they want it or not, simply because they see it advertised as cheap. Then, again, there is that much larger class of persons who believe in handsomely clothing their barkeepers while they themselves go in rags. These people invariably buy that shoe, and then go and spend what would get them a really good ’ shoe in whisky or beer. I say frankly that no $1 shoe is worth buying. ‘There is no greater mistake that persons can possibly make than to buy excessively cheap goods. But, of course, this idea of getting good things can be, and very often is, carried too far. Very many persons, and some who can really ill afford to do so, pay $10 and $12 for a pair of shoes. No shoe can be made that is worth over $7. All over that amount is profit, and giving $12 for any shoe on earth is just simply throwing away $5. COUNTRY PRODUCE.

The proposed pharmacy law in California failed to pass the Legislature. A Winnipeg druggist is a member of a party in search of the North pole. The Pennsylvania State Pharmaceutical Association meets at Philadelphia, June 14. It has been announced that the Chicago Drug Clerks’ Journal will materialize in in June. The Philadelphia boy who stole a vial of strychnine pills and ate them will never re- peat the operation. It is said that liquid vaselin is being used adulterate codliver oil, and that it may be discovered by not being saponifiable. Frank Higgins, a Des Moines druggist, has been fined $100 and costs for conduct- ing a drug store, without being a register- ed pharmacist. The monopoly in the sale of drugs is to be abolished in the large towns of Russia. It is only temporarily maintained in the small towns and districts. The Illinois State Pharmaceutical Associ- ation meets at Chicago on June 14. Deca- tur was first selected, but the druggists of that place respectfully declined. Sweet potato alcohol is an article of ex- port from the Azores. The sweet potato yields more alcohol at less cost than any other tuber or any of the cereals. On an average, 1,000 pounds of wood will produce about 30 pounds of crude ma- terial, which will make 18 pounds of cam- phor and 12 pounds of camphor oil. The May meeting of the Grand Rapids Pharmaceutical Society was omitted, as a half dozen of the leading members were at > Lansing, fighting the proposed liquor law. 4 4 Fluid extracts are to be introduced in the new edition of the Russian Pharmacopoeia, now in the hands of a committee assembled at St. Petersburg for the revision of the old one. The Iowa druggists meet at Waterloo May 11, 12 and 13, and the Nebraska drug- gists meet at Omaha May 10, 11 and 12. e Missouri pharmacists hold their annual ‘convention at Sweet Springs on June 21, 22 and 23. Ergot was first described in medical works of the sixteenth century, but was probably long before known. Its specific physiol- ogical properties, however, were first fully understood and appreciated in modern times. The Detroit delegates to the Petoskey nvention of the Michigan State Pharma- ceutical Association will go and return by boat. Secretary Parkill has the programme for the convention nearly completed, and expects to issue the same before June 1. ~ -—_—- The Drug Market. Trade in this line is reported very active, with prices well maintained. Citric and carbolic acids are again hardening in price. The latter has been advanced in price abroad and will be higher. Balsam copaiba is a trifle lower. Cantharides has de- clined. Cubebs are still tending downward and will be lower. Buchu leaves have about reached old prices and are very dull. Cuttle bone is weak and tending lower. Senna leaves are firm. We caution the trade against gum arabic offered at low price, as it is adulterated with gum senegal. Oil anise and cassia are very firm at the advance reported last week and will be higher. Oil pennyroyal has advanced. Oil peppermint is declining. Oil sassafras is lower. Opium is again tending upward. it is advancing in Europe, owing to rumored damage to crop by drouth. Morphia is very firm. Qninine, although firm, is steady in price. Iodide potash is scarce and higher prices are probable. Cloves have again advanced. Balsam tulu is tend- ing upward. Blood root is very scarce and high; extreme prices are looked for. Tur- pentine is lower. hala neinernereetine The Kentucky State Pharmaceutical As sociation will meet at Louisville, May 18 and 19. The Michigan Business Men’s Associa- ! tion.* — iti: Nv A few days ago a message came to me from your worthy President, inviting me to be present with you this evening and re- spond to the toast, the Michigan Business Men’s Association. Next to my home no earthly tie do I love more than this Association. Not because I can look into the faces of the children of this body and recognize the parent—one can’t always do that, you know—but because I claim a one-third interest in it, and to my good Brother Stowe here [ award the other two-thirds, and all the grand children. — Humanly speaking, we place a value upon people and things for what they have done and can do for us. What this A'ssociation has done for the business men of Michigan in less than twelve short months has en- deared it to the hearts of over two thousand intelligent and as fair-minded men as exist in our State. It has, we believe, won the respect of all square-dealing, progressive men. Iask you, gentlemen of the Travel- ers’ Protective Association, could you, fifteen months ago, with here and there an exception, point to a local body any- where in the State organized under our banner? while to-day I can assure you that our Seeretary has enrolled seventy-five or- ganizations. We point with pride to this rapid growth, but this is not the measure of our work nor the hidden leaven. Show me the place, gentlemen, where you delight to show your wares and I will point you to an organiza- tion there, whose members you are learning to regard as safe men to do business with. Show me the place where you cannot urge your goods upon a man beyond a safe limit for yourself and your house, and I will point you to a man who is imbued with As- sociation principles, and if not a member of such a’body for the reason that no organ- ization exists, he will be the first to embrace such an opportunity for the promotion of his and his neighbors’ interests. Show me the place where an organization exists and I will show you the place your members will find less controversy and more sociality among the trade. Ruskin says that ‘‘a community imbued with a certain spirit is sure to find the architecture in which to best express itself.” Builders are we upon the spirit of protection, social and trade elevation, which spirit has not been dor- mant for years, but not until now ‘‘fitly framed together.” Permit me to say in behalf of the Michi- gan Business Men’s Association that we recognize your position in the work to which we are committed as being equal, if not more responsible, than ours—a _ respon- sibility which this vast army of retailers are asking you to assume. You represent to the retailer daily, hourly even, millions in trade where we represent thousands to our consumers. You represent not only su- perior capital but a broader spirit of mer- cantilism. You represent the tone and the standing of your respective houses, whose doors the retailer may have never entered. You carry, if you will, the retailers’ trade and confidence from house to house as you enter other houses—confidence that will, sooner or later, if coupled with integrity and zeal, build for you a broader reputation and a fortune which the retailer hardly dares hope for. Our Association recognizes with deep gratitude the helping hands extended in or- ganization. Many kind words of encour- agement to the retailer in unorganized towns to ‘“‘start an association” have come from you all with heart and soul. We offer you a helping hand in your work, which to you means protection, progress and principle, as does ours; and may we work onward and upward, stimulated by a noble endeavor to build the walls around us and not between us. Allow me to offer a few kindly sugges- tions, asking in return the same kindly office when such an opportunity is offered you as I have had given me this evening: Educate your trade to buy the best goods. ‘Educate your trade to discountenance gifts and schemes, as they are a travesty upon a man’s honesty. Educate your trade to not over-buy. Hducate your trade to do a closer cash business. Educate your trade to demand full count, weight and measure, and you have done more to avert the evil which brings the re- tailer to sorrow than all others combined. I should be ungallant if I did not pay tribute to you, gentlemen, for the kindly courtesy you have shown your wives and sweethearts in bringing them here this evening. In this respect you are in advance of our associations, which have for some reason debarred the ladies from the enjoy- ments of such an hour. Weare not, how- ever, so unmindful of their daily protection as you. In our associations we embrace them—as members—and because we assume to offer the lady in business the same _ pro- tection as we enjoy, because we would not shut our doors to a woman. in trade who had been beaten out of an honest dollar by a miserable sneak and who appealed to the organization for help to collect that dollar, some one has branded us an ‘‘Association of Milliners.” 1 would give more for what is upon the head of any lady here than what is within the head of the man who would refuse a woman trade protection. Shame on the man who uttered such a slur! Shame on the association which upholds a man who refuses protection to the woman where the law will not protect! Shall we draw the line at sex or color? So long as a business woman seeks protection against the confirmed, deliberate and dis- honest debtor; so long as the woman in more cases than she has credit for stands at | the helm, the more skillful pilot of the two, and directs the man’s business through the | shoals of mercantile traffic; so long as she is liable to be the sole one responsible with many dependent upon her, so long shall the protecting hand of the Michigan Business Men’s Association be extended to her in the same spirit of cordiality with which the fra- ternal hand is extended to the Traveler’s Protective Association of Michigan. *Response by Frank Hamilton at banquet of Travelers’ Protective Association. —_—>>-_ A Dorr correspondent writes to a local pa- per: ‘Farmers should beware and not buy their groceries from the Detroit peddlers, as they are regular frauds when you come to pay for the goods. They are working some of their sharp tricks in Byron and Dorr.” NOTICE.

Crookston Has to Say While in the Tiger Den. CADILLAC, Jan. 24, 1887, Well, Doctor, [ am around again, but my wife had to use a lot of Tiger Oil. It isthe most wonderful medicine I ever knew. It surpasses everything else. During my se- vere sickness of pleuro-pneumonia, when wy pulse ran up to 130 and my temperature to 104° the pain was so excruciating that noth- ing would relieve except Tiger Oil, which never failed. The physician gave but little hope of my recovery, but through his atten- tion and the constant application of Tiger Oil I pulled through, and am gaining strength by using Tiger Oil, which 1 know is doing me good, and will do good to all who use it properly; for of all medicines that I have ever known in over forty years’ ex- perience as a retail ant wholesale druggist, I have never known of a single one to be m any way as good as Tiger Oil for the cure of so many different kinds of diseases. There seems no limit to its power over disease. Therefore, knowing as 1 know of Tiger Oil, I do but my duty in recommending it to all my fellow men as publicly as possible, that they may have the benefits of such a valua- ble medicine as Tiger Oil has proven itself to be wherever it has been used, both for man or beas..

Cant Hook Corners, May 12, 1887. Editor Tradesman: Dear Sir—Summer has at last put in an appearanee, with its concomitants of ice cream, soda water, Sunday-school picnics, lawn dresses, lawn mowers and festive la- ger beer. The last named exhilarating com- pound of hops, aloes, and aqua hipumpagin- is seems to start off this season with its us- ual eclaw, notwithstanding the threatening legislation at Lansing. The greatest trouble I have to contend with in writing to you is the fact that my comments on news of the day are quite apt to be behindhand. For instance, to-day the papers will all be full of some exciting mat- ter, like the Dakin case, but by the time 1 get it wrote up and my letter gets to you and gets printed the next Tuesday, the thing has got to be an old chestnut and the Preserve These Advertisements for Future Reference.

Tue TRADESMAN points with pride to the splendid organization of business men in this State, embracing, as it does, every city, village and hamlet in this great com- monwealth. We can hardly realize the fact that about fifteen years ago the first move was made in this great work. We are sure that our twenty-seven thousand and odd subscribers will agree with us that the ben- efits received thus far compensate, a thous- and-fold for the expense and labor. But much yet remains to be done. We call the attention of the Committee on Legislation especially to the disgraceful tea and coffee law passed by the last Legislature. It should be repealed. We would ask, by what right does a bare majority of fanatics, be- cause they hold that coffee and tea are in- jurious, pass a law to tax the dealer in these articles $1,000? Itis an outrage. The $1,- 500 tobacco tax was bad enough, to say nothing of the $500 tax for selling butter e from any cows other than short-horn Durhams, but this coffee and tea law caps the climax. It is a direct menace to the lib- erties of the people. + te > So 3 5 6 § or rv oe 45 Shell Hair Pins or Ornaments.

POLICEMAN CRUSHED. Patrolman No. 1,467 lost his life yester- day forenoon while attempting to force his way to the bar at theColoseum. The vast crowd attempted to make room for the vic- tim to lay down and die, but it was a fail- ure, so he was forced to die standing up. Tue TRADESMAN has,often called atten- tion to the fact that Grand Rapids needs an- ean other saloon. One is not enough for a city of 200,000 inhabitants. Our law makers should reduce the saloon tax, at least as low as $10,000, and fix the bond at a lower fig- ure, say a million, in order to enable others to engage in the business. Only last week a poor woman was trampled to death at a saloon in Detroit, while attempting to pur- chase an ounce of paregoric for her sick child. This again emphasizes the claim we have always made, that druggists should be allowed to sell mixtures containing alcohol. SENT UP. The Hon. N. McMillen, a veteran phar- macist of Rockford, passed through this city yesterday en route for Jackson. He goes fora year, that being the minimum sentence for his offence. Our readers will remember that Mr. McM. was convicted of selling a pint of bed-bug poison and the prosecution proved that the mixture con- tained spirit. Mr. McM. anticipates a glad | reunion with the 273 other druggists now in | the institution.

Hibbard, the Jackson druggist, retired to | the county house last week. This leaves a. fine opening for some enterprising pharma- | cist who thinks he can run a drug store and make a living without getting into State prison. A bill was introduced on Monday by Rep. Goldstein, making it a penal offense.to raise. eat or sell pork or Jardin this State. On motion of Rep. O’Donahue, the fifth section was amended so as to prohibit the use of any kind of meat on Fridays. A strong lobby of butchers and farmers start for Lansing to-day to oppose the bill. * * * This lady has promised me more items in the near future. Tue TRADESMAN hés just arrived, andI notice the ‘‘Leisure Hour Jottings” are good, as usual. I always read them first. I am glad my humble efforts called out the re- marks they did from ‘‘Country Merchant.” In regard to my orthography, I must admit that Webster and I disagree on some minor points; but I have slept with a dictionary under my head and wrote with one on my knee for three years past, and I hope I am slowly gaining on it. I trust brother ‘‘C. M.” will make due allowance. As for grammar, I was put through about three terms inalog schoolhouse in my gentle youth, at ‘‘I love, you love, they love, she loves, he loves,” but I think four years of fighting,in the ‘‘late unpleasantness” sort of knocked it all out of me, for I never could make a practical application of any part of it except ‘‘I love” and *‘she loves.” Yours hopefully, So: Nn Snooks, OUR LEADING BRANDS: Roller Champion, Gilt Edge, Matchless, Lily White, Harvest Queen, Snow Flake, White Loaf, Reliance, Gold Medal, Graham.
