forever count upon the forbearance OF the
formers whose hcnroosts they rob, whose cows
tbev milk. and whose houses they sometimes
break into and pillage. Already peaceaoie
citizens of tramp-infested localitles are
talking of that desperate remedy-a re-
sort TO lynch law. We can hardly believe
that this will be necessary. Inc ouroeh
ia heavy one, we admit. The whole hish
road from Philadelphia to Jersey City Is IN
tested by these Grant beggars. The PcnnSyi-
wanna Railway Company is compelled TO en-
ploy special police for the protection or It's
nroperty. In brunswick, Railway Eliza
beth, and Newark, it is impossible to walk
mile without encOuntering one or more OF
these peripatetic pilferers, creeping from mouse
To house. or from corner to corner with tlat
oimlcss gait which indicates the largest lei
sure for larceny, with the listless lookout OF
the lazy for an opportunity. In the pres
cnt state of the rural and suburban po-
lice, and with the present dlslncl-
nation of the towns to tax themselves Tor
the support of those who have really no claim
upon them, the evil will probably continue III
the country until the cold weather shall drive
these strollers into the cities, where they VIII
be 'more vigorously dealt with, especially il
the succcss of their Summer campaign shall
make them insolent and bold in their Winter
operations. They will find metropolitan
police little harder to deal with than
village constabulary, especially II they Try
any experiments in felony.
We admit that the long period during when
the Mollcs dominated over the coal districts
of Pennsylvania is far from encouraging. BIT
tie by little is forced on us the uncomtort-
able conclusion that we have an element or
population heretofore almost unknown. 1t has
come upon us somewhat mysterionsiy, nor 90
the "hard times" quite account for 1t. En-
ployment has been scarce and wages nave
been low before, yet without developing any
thing like a dangerous class such as Is now 10
be found in the Western and Middle States,
and even in New-Englaud. The cause OF 1t
may be obscure, but there can be no doubt Oh
jfs character; and we have all mt once presented
10 ia the problem of paupcrism. But the law
abiding are in such large majority, ana the
general sentiment is so strongly upon the sue
of honest industry, that we can hardly fan TO
find some way out of the trouble. We shall
not, however, attempt this until the growing
greatness of the evil compels us to grapple
with it. We have heretofore been so uniyer-
sally prosperous, work and food nave peeh 80
plentiful that We have had no occasion I'd
study the subject. 1t will be bad day Tor
the tramps when the people take mp TIC matter
in earnest, Just as the Pennsylvania people are
wrestling with the Molly MaguircS. There wiil
be no Indifference by and by, and the danger
i, that there will he no mercy.

rly1NCFS or NEW-YORK CITY.

The first bonded debt incurred by this city
Yves authorized by an act Of the Legislature
June &, 1912, the preamble of which quantity
sets forth that great expenses Lad been incurred
in the erection of buildings and wharvcs, and
that " for the purpose of carrying into opera
" ton the plan for laying out the said city
"into streets, avenues, and public squares"
legislative Interference was necessary; public
stock up TO 5000, 600 was therefore authorized,
and the act so far from anticipated the future
that il spoke of this as "a pcrwdpcm arrange
"ment of the finances of the city," This stood
unchanged until 1920, when an additional
6 per cent loan of 100000 was authorized,
followed by another of 100000 in 1929,
most of the prior debt having been meanwhile
paid off; hence, in consequence OF this pollcv,
the aggregate outstanding in 1929 was but
$3.50. 639-lcss than the first loan authorized
in 1812-and this was further reduced to
$774,556 in 1880, and to $741 ,913 in 1881.
The next increase was for the introduction of
water and the authorizing act carefully re-
ouircd not only the approval of the Common
Council of the report of SPECIAL commission.

There is another iuggle on the civil service
reform. \ paragraph in the Legislative APP
pronration bill was designed to prevent as
sessments for political purposes on Govern
ment clerks. The phrases received finishing
touch from the Conference Commttce. Only
two or three words were left out, but the
change was enough to make the whole para
grarh worthless. Perhaps it is too much to
hone for but n little honesty in treating this
matter OF civil service reform would be pleas
ant if only for the sake of variety.
