Cure for Tramps.
ITho Churchunan.

A correspondent sends the following
cure for tramps:" We never knew
but one town, of any size, which was
perfectly free from tramps. But that
was absolutely 40, and i'm this simple
way. A farm was purchased in connec-
ton with the poor-house On that farm
all the inmates were required 10 work
even children, who could always do
something. Unless a mendicant was
completely helpless, he could pick oakum
But the plan was to have not solitary
inmate who had nothing TO do. Ingood
weather, the able ones were cent to work
on the high roads or TO do any outdoor
work for which they were capable And
now for the result. The town not only
supported all its poor, without laying
dollar Of tax on it's citizens, but actually
had a revenue from them. We have
known hundreds of dollars TO be paid
into its treasury, and not one 10 be
abstracted. IL is the only town we ever
heard of-st least of any considerable
size where protection from tramps and
mendicants WAS perfect " they ap-
peared at ones door, and were honest,
they would accept direction 10 an
officer, who would convey them 10 the
town farm. II they would not, one had
only 10 say, the police will be after you
and take you there. Such tramps hardly
stopped long enough 10 hear you, but
vanished at once, rs the classics would
say, Unto thin air" So popular did
this order OF things become thata wealthy
gentleman left, by his will, fifteen hun
dred dollars, the interest of which, an
nually, was to be expended in helping
out a Christmas and Fourth Of July
dinner at the poOr-house farm.

Appearances indicate the approach OF
another Indian war. There must be some
cause existing, of an urgent and .impeling
nature beyond the natural warlike ten
denotes OF savage tribes, to provoke the
Indians at this time to engage in
hostiIities They are not so ignor-
ant nor so infatuated as not to
perceive that the constant attriton of war
is gradually and surely tending to their
total determination The active and in
citing cause must therefore be powerful
one to urge them on in the face of ultimate
extinction. The charge is constantly re-
iterated, aud it is generally believed, that
the real trouble has for a long time been
the wantOn violation of trust on the part Of
the Indian Agent and the robbing of the
Indians OF their scautV annuities. MIR.
). ). Fem, the delegate in congress from
Idaho Territory, and from whose state
ments we make liberal quotations, says in
speaking of an. Indian outbreak, that he has
been apprehensive for some time lest
the indians in the southern part Of that ter
rltOry should 20 upon theuld warpath aud
become troublesome to frontiersmen gen.
orally. He alleges in direct terms that
complaints have been made in every con-
celvable form and laid before the Interior
Department, and the imminent danger of
the trouble fully represented at short in
tervals, tor the last six months, but no
steps have been taken to remedy the evil.
Among all the northwestern Indians there
has been general uneasiness ever since the
Nez Perces outbreak, and it has been
known among settlers and others thorough
~ acquainted with the Indians that since
the close OF that Indian campaign there
has been continuous communications be
tween the various Indian tribes IN Idaho,

Judge Hilton, of New York, seems to
have called down upon himself the iudig-
pant protests of large number Of women,
whose Judgment in regard to his knowing
how to manage a.hotel is 10 no degree
fattering. The judge was intrusted by A,
T. Stewart, in his will, to carry out his
design of founding an establishment where
women could have the comforts Of a
respectable home at something less than
the ordinary rates of a metropolitan
hosiery. 1t is alleged that Hiltou has
proved an entire failure, that he has
neither comprehended the spirit or the
design Of Stewart, nor has he been sue
cessful in carrying out the plan which he
actually undertook to put in practice
A woman's indignation meeting was held
one day this week at the Cooper Union,
and they then and there exercised the fe-
male prerogative of giving the offender "a
large piece of their mind" Charges and
counter charges are the order of the day,
but the most significant fact in connection
with this matter, aud the one which most
nearly concerns the public generally, is,
that the intention of the founder of the
Nonan's Hotel is not likely to be a sue
cess-that from some cause inherent in
the design, or else in Hiltons conception
of the wishes and intentions of Mr.. Stew

there are other arrangements which have

undoubtedly disagreeable, not to say re-
pulsive. Ii it is not good for man to be
alone, the converse of that truism will also
hold good. The real question is as to the
nature and extent of the relations which

Mr.. DoNNELLY was nominated for Con-
gress in the Third District by the Nationals
yesterday. He accepted only conditionally,
and, unless the Democrats see fit to put him
up also, pledges himself to retire in favor of
any one who can be supported by both or
CARNATIONS. If the Democratic District
Convention adopts platform similar to
no difficulty in uniting on a candidate. If
Mr.. Donnelly is not acceptable
he should be taken at his word and
asked to step down in favor of the man who
can produce the necessary union. Wash
burn must and can be beaten, and no per-
sonal ambition should be allowed to prevent

ACCORDING to Washington dispatch,
army officers dwell with great significance
on recent orders directed to the department
of the Rio Grande, placing the army on a
wer footing. The field batteries
havo been increased as they are only
when a state of war exists or is
threatened. 1t is said upon good author
ity that Mackenzie was ordered back from
his last raid because the news of his cross
ing became known too soon throughout the
country, whereas it was desired to keep it
secret. 1t is understood that Mackenzie
was to recross as soon as he could avoid no.
tice, and it is believed that he has crossed
again. The GLOBE has pointed out the
only means by which this whole Mexican
difficulty can be brought to head in a
manner honorable to our goyernment--by
inaugurating system of reprisals. Secret
expeditions across the border will only
place our government in an unenviable
light before the public at home and abroad,
and forfeit for it any claim for sympathy.
Let US have more manly, straightforward
policy towards Mexico. We cannot afford
to adopt policy now that might compro-
mise us in case war should arise.

THREE millions OF trade dollars are in cir
culation in this country. There are thirty
two millions held abroad, however, which
may come back at any time. Although this
coin is stamped with the government stamp
as one dollar, it has been repudiated by the
government at the instance of Pirate Sher-
man, and is, therefore, worth only its bullion
value. The repudiationists are not the Dem
ocrats, it must be remembered, and when
man receives trade dollar from a sub
treasury of the government at a hundred
cents, and finds that he has been swindled
out of ten cents, he should blame the Re
publicans for the fraud. Fraudulent Presi-
dents and fraudulent coins are the coinage of
the Republican party only.

A POOR EXCUSE.

It is Considered Better than None by Mr..
Hayes, and is Given for the Removal of
Postmaster Filley, of St. Louis.
ST. LOUIS. Sept. 5.-The statement made in some
dispatches, that Postmaster Filley was removed
without cause, is pronounced untrue by the friends
of the administration. It seems MIR. Finey has re-
peatedly violated orders by directly indirectly con-
trolling primaries and conventions, and interfering
with the rights IF the people in such organizations,
and ntrigues which directly in opposition to the
policy Of the Republican party is represented by the
Missouri State organization. For instance, if he
had been determined to make the campaign on finan-
cial issues and caused circulars to be distributed
throughout the State stating such was
not the issue before the people,
but the true issue was formerly between
North and South and advising Republicans to CO.

bodied in report which is file in Washington

different family from that of the President.

DEMoCRArIC STATE CONVENTION.

The Democracy of Minnesota assembled
in State Convention yesterday in this city.
The action was harmonious, wise and pru-
dent. The national portion of the Ohio
platform was, in the main, adopted, and a
most excellent ticket placed in the field.
Both platform and ticket are worthy of
support, and form basis for a campaign
of which the Democracy may
be proud. The temporary pressure
of other matter prevents detailed
comment this morning, but we can safely
say that if the Third district convention,
which meets to-day, acts as wisely and well
as the State convention yesterday, Mr..
Washburn will be defeated. Let the conven-
ton to-day bear in mind that there are men
enough in this district opposed to Washburn
to defeat him, if they all conc entrate, and
then act accordingly.

Minneapolis Day.

This is the last day but one of the fair, and
has been set aside as Minneapolis Day." when
business men and women of the city will
close up their secular affairs and devote the
day to seeing the exposition and visiting with
their brethren and sisters from distance. 1t
will be gala day, got up on the Minneapolis
plan, regardless of expense. Even Charley
Clark will keep good natured to-day, and
smile to the toes of his boots, while Col King,
if he is not watched closely, will send a COM
plimentary direct to the emperor of Russia by
telephone. If there is anything in magnetic
influences even John Splan may for the moment
become pleasant gentleman.
Let Minneapolis close up with one accord.
stop business, put on smiling face, take a
dollar in its pocket and give Col. King and the
management an ovation.
