CHEATING THE CONDUCTORS.
LITTLE RING THAT HAS BEEN UNEARTH-
ED BY oVERTURNING THE BIC RING.

A LITTLE RING THAT HAS BEEN UNEARTH-
ED BY oVERTURNING THE BIG RING.
In talk with number of conductors
on the Market street line yesterday they
expressed themselves as highly pleased
with the turn affairs had taken. although
they deplored Mr.. Morton'S misfortune,
saying that he had always been kind TO
them except when MIR. HUM interfered
The hope is expressed that the change of
petty officers will be sweeping, as the
conductors say that they have been sub
iected to Wholesale robbery in the recelv-
er's office, where they turn in the days
receipts at hight The bell punch is turn
ed in at the same time and in the MORN
ing, on taking their car, another lpunch
Is given them. The cash and tickets are
counted up on the second day and COM
pared with the register in the punch,
which is examined by lady.
The conductors do not hesitate to say
that between the lady counter and one of
the receivers, whose name has appeared
in the papers within the last two days,
there is colluSion, by which they are re-
gularly counted short One of them
| says that for the last five weeks he has
been thus cheated out of from two TO five
dollars per week. The success of the
scheme emboldened the operators to as
seSs one conductor seven dollars IN a
week, but on his indignant protest and
threats of reSigning and exposing the
swindle be was. after delay OF three
days, found TO be only. twenty-one cents
short. He then resumed his car. The
robbery has been continued for some
wears. The receiver, an ex-conductor, is
the happy posSeSsor of handsome re-
sidence, three fine horses, a carriage and
a snug bank account, all on salary of
twenty dollars per week. He was an in
innate friend of ex-Treasurer HUM. The
matter has been called TO the attention
of the president and directors.

PoLITIcs.-Therei is very small difference
now between the two great political
parties OF the country, so far as their plat
forms show and the main issue is for
peace, and economy in national expendi-
lures. Openly this is the case. But facts
prove that the opposition to the Democrat
ic party do not stand by their platforms,
and therefore the Republican party cannot
be trusted. 1t is not true to its own people,
and is far from being true to the general
mass. 1t has repeatedly resolved in favor
of civil service reform. But its own
leaders point to the fact that 1t has never
put in practice even this feature put for
ward by its own men. 1t has as repeated
ly resolved in favor OF peace, and yet de-
ferred peace, and even now quarrels with
Mr.. Hayes because he adopted the peaceful
policy of the Democrats, and enabled the
country to be rid Of the constant dread OF
civil war in the south. 1t as repeatedly
resolved in favor of an economical admin
istration of the government, and yet in the
face of these resolves 1t opposed the eco
nomical measures of u Democratic House
of Representatives by which it was clearly
shOh II tAlttt lIC NOdilL9 bC WCll 6ON
erned at a cost that would to-day have left
a surplus revenue OF 500 ,OOO,O 900 in the treas.
ury ; and these wholesome Democratic re-
forms were Whitfield down by a threatening
Senate and a threatening Executive con-
trolling vicious and dangerous army
ready TO be precipitated at the throats oi
the Representatives of the people, until
only saving of sS1, coo, 600 was reached
and even this their Morton, Blaine and
Sargent scoffed at and derided. But new
erthelesS they were forced 10 succumb and
the result of this enforced economy by the
Democrats is $500. 600 $50 surplus in gold in
thetreasury to-day nearly enough 10 pay the
interest al per cent of the whole national
debt. Had the Democrats been fairly and
openly met in good faith on this issue and
the measures they passed and sent 10 the
Senate been passed by that body and by
the President, the national treasury would
to-day have contained a surplus of $50. .OOO,-
600 in gold instead of $50 100000. And d
surplus saving of s6oOOO,00O in gold woult
have sent our greenbackS TO par in spite o
all the brokers and bondholders could hav,
said and done.
NOW we wish every Democrat TO under
stand that the great issue OF our party il
economy all other questions are subservien
10 this because it will set all other matter
10 going. What steam is 10 machinery
economy now is 10 the nation. Thus will
we recuperate the power necessary for al
active and energetic future that will sool
be upon us. Economy in the national gov
ernment will produce economy in Tn
States, counties, cities and towns. AS W
nave already been trying TO practice 1t in
dlvidually so must We practice ii as nn
tion. Ii will make us bold in heart, ener
getic in mind and durable in physique.
Is the main feature of the great Democrati
party, and il will not tire until 1t aceon
plishes its work of retrenehment and r,
form AT Washington. and all who oppos
this issue are hurled from power.

SUBpUE THE TRAMPs.--The average
tramp has become as dangerous as the wild
beast, anu is far more 10 be dreaded. He
has been driven out of the large cities and
is now preying upon the small towns and
the rural districts. Farm houses thai used
10 be as peaceful and as free from danger
as parish church, are now in daily dread
OF trampS. as were the early settlers OF the
lEcurSlons of the bands o. Indian sayages.
What shall We do with them. is a question
asked in all the Middle States. 1t is easy
10 say, put hook in his nose" He is a
new feature in our midst and there is no
special provision for curbing him. until
MS sluggish nature is rousel by devilish
passion TO pe-petrate wrong, and then the
evil is done. ard what may follow is sim.
ply reaping vengeance upona creature that
mas no character, no friends and no shame.
We want prevention of the evil OF tramp
.Sm. our city Chief Magistrate has asked
authority OF the Council, and declared that
II empowered he would rid the city and
suburbs OF tramps so effectually that their
entrance 10 the town would be so rare as To
be impercepgible. He only desired 10 he
empowered 10 make them carry stone. or
Nacate the town limits. But this was not
given. more general and effectual way
mas been suggested by a high functionary
OF the State, and II is perhaps the best-it
IS more like putting hook in his nose. .
II IS that the the tramps be caught up. and
after lawful process put in the army by
:orced enlistments and sent 10 he frontie,
10 fight the Indians. This is. perhaps. III,
best Idea that has been suggested. But the
law for the procedure is not at hand And

north in making good the immortal

with her interest in or reverence for the
great principles of human freedom
enunciated on that day, We are not in
favor of quietly laying down these
things, and permitting the north 10 lug
off the honors. We claim our share,
and while free institutions are mains
tanned in this land, the day which an,
nually recalls their birth shall be to us
a day of rejoicing, One single flag, the
old starry banner, is the emblem of an
