Flow Iowa Served Some Tramps
ne eames
oIn some parts of the west
tramps are causing no end of
trouble,� said Mr. W. C. Ide, of
Dubrque, Ia, at the Ebbitt.
oThey are in great pumbers in
nearly overy large town of ,Jowa,
and are more impudent and des-
perate in their conduct than was
ever before known. They have
committed so many flagrant acts
from insulting and terrifying
women whose husbands are
absent to taking possession of
freight trains and throwing oft
the conductors for protesting
against their acts, that hervic
action 18 needed to suppress
them.
oT lived in a town out west
gome years ago where the tramp
problem ~vas solved by the chief
of police in a way that could
searcely be defended on the
ground of regularity, but it was
ighly effective and might be
adopted now in some communi-
nities that are afflicted with
~Weary Willies� This town 1
speak of was invaded one winter
by scores of the wandering fras
ternity. They were not specially
bad, and committee no outrages
beyord lifting chickens from the
hen roosts of tne suburban resi-
dents. Yet they were a thorn to
the chief, who was a man of iron
resolution, and who determined
to drive them out of the place.,
Accordingly, one aay, he went to
their rendezvous on the outskirts
of the city and delivored a lscture
to about a dozen ot the loafers.
Be warned them that if they
didnTt seek fresh pastures inside
oa. .
18 ipcreased in @
during.tbe four and a half months
of the new fiscal year lends sig-
nificance to the report of Secre-
tary Bliss touching the tremen-
dous growth of the pension list.
At the end of June the number
of pensioners on the roll lacked
only 14,000 of being a round mil-
lion. That even this figure will
soon be exceeded is evident from
the fact that about 200,000 claims
were awaiting adjudication of
which it is estimated about one-
half would be finally admitted.
~When it is remembered that
the entire population of the
Northern States"men, women
and children"at the outbreak of
the war was about 26,000,000, the
preposterous character of the
pension roll of today, thirty-two
years after the declaration of
peace, becomes apparent. Ore
year after the close of the war the
list amounted to 126,000; in ten
years it had grown to 234,000; in
1889"a quarter of a century after
the war bad ended"it had swollen
to nearly half a million, and ip
the past eight years this has been
doubled
The figures are simply stun~
riog. The fees for examining
surgeons and expenses of dis-
pensing the moneys have amount-
ed seventy-two million dollars,
and the pensions distributed
reach the astounding total of
more than 2,107 mullions of
dollars. As we get further away
from the period of the war the
pension list, instead of dwindling,
geometrical
ratio. The fifteen millions of
1366 has grown to one huncred
and forty millions in 1896, and is
still swelling. As to the means
by which fifty thousand pension-|
ers a year are being added to the
roils, they are only too well
known. The Commissioner in
his report touches on one aspect
of this by recommending the
passage of a law providing that
no pension shall be grant d to
the widow of a soldier who shall
hereafter marry.
With a constant deficit in the
government income it is the daty
of Congress to reduce the outro,
and when it starts to economizing
in expenses this matter of pension
abuses should engage its oarly
and earnest attention."New
York Herald.
The Farmer and his Friend.
The dispatches have told that
as the outcome of a meeting of
South Carolina cotton-growers ai
ef (wenty-four hours they'd live
fo regret not taking his advice.
Then be rode away, the tramps
preserving a respectful silence,
but evidently taking his speech
as a bluff, Next day the chief
went back accompanied by five of
his force, young officers, brawny
and ready to execute any orders.
They rounded up the same gang
that the chief had lectured the
previous day. One of the &fticers
then went into a neighboring
tract of weods and came back
with eae bunch of* stout, young
limbs lopped off of the toughest
trees be could find.
oRight then and there ensued
a wholesale whipping. Every
motherTs son of that bobo band
got well thrashed till he yelled
for mercy. The chief would not
call oft his mea until the chastise-
ment was complete. Then he
made them another speech, tell-
mg them what would occur if
they were again caught in the
neighborhood. ~his was : ten
years ago, and ever since then
tramps have given that town a
wide berth. The same man is
atill chief. T"Washington Post.
Pensions a Generation After the
Close of the War.
A defisiency of forty-four mil-
jions in goyernment reyenue
Columbia during the recent State
Fair, an invitation has been
issued to the farmers of the South
to hold a convention in Atlanta
on the 14th of December to con-
sider the interests of the co-ton-
raisers. It is stated now that the
politicians have taken zight hold
of the movement, and doubtless
by the timethe meeting convenes
they will have all their
plans laid for taking it in hand.
You can't lose the modern poli-
tician. Just say ofarmer,� or
~farmersT coavention,� and see
him juwp. It issaiu every time
ycu.seea wnite horse you. see 2
redheaded woman, and it has
almost got to the point where
when you see a farmer you see a
politician with his hand on his
sleeve. The farmer never had as
many friends in their lives, and
when they organize a movement
of any king they find all the help
they need in pushing it along.
~hese political helpers rode the
Grange to death in short order.
When the Alliance was organized
it shut its doors in the faces of
the lawyers but it shut the poli-
ticians in, and they proceeded to
farm the farmers in great shape.
They all got offices and the farm-
ers got the bag and have it yet.
No, sire You canTt lose Mr.
Politician. As Max OTRell says,
he is always up and dressed."
* Té there is anything the brass-
buttons and gilt-stripes officers

rooms and draw salaries from the

ingly itis a vast standing army

dream of war and view with prac-
tised eye the ofortifications� of
every cross-hamlei they happen
to pass. Andevery time one of
them makes a report, he calls
attention to the crying neea for
an oincrease in the army� and
oadequate coast defenses.T Sec-
retary of War Alger, in his report,
mede public this morning, sings
the same tune and calls for an
oincrease in the army.� Our
ncble oCaptain General,� Nelson
A. Miles, longs for a great stand-
ing army like that of Germany,
wher» eyery listle village has to
to feed its garison of soldiers, and
he would doubtless like to see
this country also turned into a
ovast armed camp.� He even
adyocates tha fortification of
court houses end will probably
eventually want to garrison every
hen-coop in the land. Ifthere is
anything the peacabla people of
this country have no use for, it is
a large army; and this eternal
harping of the martinets makes
folks tired."Charlotie News.
