Sse Flow Iowa Served Some Tramps ne eames “In some parts of the west tramps are causing no end of trouble,” said Mr. W. C. Ide, of Dubrque, Ia, at the Ebbitt. “They 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. “T 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 didn’t seek fresh pastures inside “a. . 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. “Right then and there ensued a wholesale whipping. Every mother’s 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. ’—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 “farmer,” or ‘farmers’ 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 can’t lose Mr. Politician. As Max O’Rell says, he is always up and dressed.— * Té there is anything the brass- buttons and gilt-stripes officers who grace Washington bal rooms and draw salaries from the war department long for unceas- ingly itis a vast standing army and a great coast defense | Tuey dream of war and view with prac- tised eye the “fortifications” 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 “increase in the army” and “adequate coast defenses.’ Sec- retary of War Alger, in his report, mede public this morning, sings the same tune and calls for an “increase in the army.” Our ncble “Captain 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 “vast 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. ba cre ee arate ORIGINAL OBSERVATIONS, Made by Orange Va., Obseryerer. The best axe to hew with is kind acts. A stitch in time sayes many a yard of threac. Many a turkey lived not to give thanks on Thursday. Light weight young men are th» only real feather boas. An honest politician is one of the noblest works of his party. It makes a fellow tret and frown to see his moustacbe look like down. The last fly cf summer is now on the bald head alone, all of its spec-u-tative companions have mysteriously gone. There never was a maid so gray but some time, soon or late, she dyed her hair and tried to play herseli for twen—- ty-eight. The papers have a paragraph or kissing a girl against her will, We refer to kiss a girl against her lips-but girl ag P she might object if she had a Will o ° j her own.
