TRAMPS.

There is a general demand for the
suppression Of the tramp business,
which, of late years, has grown into
proportions so formidable as to re-
quire prompt attention. Many of
these wanderers are criminals of the
deepest dye, who only await the OPP
portunity to repeat their crimes.
They are the terror of farmers
wives, who are frequently compelled
to be alone the greater part of the
day, and who, in the absence of hus-
bands or other males, are completely
at the mercy of these scoundrels.-
Precisely how to abolish the evil is
what we do not know, but a loaded
revolver and a female skilled in using
it, will do much to make tramps com
port themselves decently.

NEITHER initiate nor contract, but
let the currency alone. Resumption
can't be legislated into being; it
must come imperceptibly. Stop tink-
ering, and let the country get back
to specie slowly and gradually. We
have seen the worst effects of the
panic, and are down to hard pan.
If the financial question had been
kept out of politics, and not meddled
with, everything would have come all
right again in short time. But in
flation will be sure ruin in less than
three years after it has been decided
upon. All history, precedent and ex-
perience points to such result. I'm
limited issue of uncomfortable pa
per money is worse than foolishness;
it is sheer madness. The mechanic
and laboring man will see it, if not
now, at least when it is too late to
arrest the evil.

YOUNG AMERICA.

Our correspondent, J. E. S., closed
his last "Reminiscences with the
following remarks:
And now as look back to-day,
over the field of a life which attacks
of frequent illness admOnish me Is
drawing near its end in advance of
the three score and ten test, / con-
fess that I would gladly say word,
if / could, to restrain growing
tendency of the age. i allude to
the disposition, too often notica-
BILE in young people, to voluntari-
ly assume responsibility which had
better, for their own sakes as well
as that of the community at large,
be left, as in past times, to older
men and ,Women--left where ma
ture would seem to indicate them
to more legitimately and safely be-
long, allowing, of course, for ex-
captions such as belong to all gen.
eral rules.
1T is worthy of consideration
whether the times do not warn US
that there is rather too much
Young Americanism in America.
Many young man, who has taken
counsel of the false tendency of the
times, rather than of the mere con-
sentative philosophy to which l
am calling attention, would have
Jared better had he conformed to
the scriptural hint to remain at
the Jericho Of Babyhood until the
beard of Manhood had taken the
place OF the down upon his chin
With all due Difference to the ripper
age, wider experience and maturer
judgment of our valued correspond
ent, we beg TO take issue with him on
the position assumed in the above eX-
tract, viz that "there is too much
Young Americanism in America. I"
On the contrary, we hold that the
trouble arises from too much Old
Fogy Bourbonism, in the govern
ment of 1.-THE country; too much of a
disposition to ignore the young men
and put forward the old, with their
antedeluyian ideas and notions,
which were all well enough fifty or a
hundred years ago, but entirely map
plicable to the present times. We
have growing. country, and live in
an age of steam and lightning. We
want a larger infusion of young
blood and energy. We want young
resolute leaders, men who will keep
abreast of the times, and neck-and-
neck with the progress of events; we
want them to assume the responsible
tiles of business and of government,
and follow closely the star of empire.
1t would perhaps be well for them to
take counsel of the old men, and
study the history of their g GRANDPA
theirs ways" as ''guide-beards," but
they should travel by rail instead of
the old stage coach or the canal
The tortoise gait, though slow and
sure, is hardly suitable to the present
age, although in the fable it beat the
hare in race.
