The demand for special legislation to
abate the tramp nuisance is wholly un-
necessary in this State, The enforce
ment of section 81 of our penal statute
laws of Ohio, volume "A, page 277, will
accomplish all that is desired. 1t reads
as follows; "a male person physically
able to perform manual labor, who has
not made reasonable effort to procure
employment, or who has refused to la
Dor at reasonable prices, who is found in
a state of vagranCy, or practicing COM
mon begging, shall be fined not more
than $50 and be sentenced to hard labor
in the jail of the county until the fine
and the costs of prosecution and the ac-
companying costs are paid and for his
labor such convict shall secure cridit
upon such fine and costs at the rate of
rs cents per day."

DOES PROTECTION PRoTECT?-The Re-
publican and National platforms demand
protective tariff for the protection Of
American labor, as they claim. Well,
we are now blessed with such tariff; in
fact, it is 80 high as in some instances to
amount to prohibition, and has protected
some industries clear out of existence,
Here we have the anomaly of men ask
ing for high tariff for the protection of
labor, when, under the present existing
high tariff, labor can find no employ
ment. In fact, we believe the branches
of industries most protected are to-day
most depressed. It is the most cunning
scheme ever devised, to transfer the bur
den of taxation from the shoulders of
the rich to that of the poor.-HancOck

DIsCoRDANT.-The National party is in
a fair way to know how it is itself. Re.
publicans and Democrats are of course
wicked wretches, who quarrel because
each wants all the spoils; so whena body
of patriots assumed a patriotic name,
and thought only to rid the country of a
blighting influence of self.seeking dem.
agogues, everybody believed that their
proceedings would be marked by the
pleasantness of brethren who dwell to.
gether in unity. But before these noble
public servants had enjoyed a single nib.
BILE at the public crib, they began to fall
out, and kick each other out OF the sta.

ROBERTS, of New Orleans, the Demo
crat who was hob-nobbing with Hayes
during the electoral excitement in the
winter of 1867, has testified before the
Potter committee. AS was expected, his
testimony indicates corrupt agreement
between Mr.. Hayes and the Democrats
of Louisiana looking to the Inauguration
of the former, in case the right of Mich
oils to the Governorship was not dis
turhed. The infamy is gradually being
shown to the world.

The Republican campaign committee
in Washington are calling upon the post

one postmaster of a little village in Stark

two or three hundred dollars year, and
he is urgently requested to remit Seuen
dollars. Is seems the levy is made aC-
cording to salary. Imagine this monster
corruption fund squeezed from near one
hundred thousand officials, to say moth

not be paid. Notwithstanding this the

The terrible Gen. Beatty, of Ohio, de-
livered on Thursday a funeral oration
over the bodies of Congressman Gard
ner and Jones, slain as a sacrifice to Lo.
renzo English, Independent Democrat,
whom the Republicans have nominated
in the hope of beating Geo. L. Converse.
A reporter says that "the large crowd al
"most held their breath. The language
used, and the dramatic and sarcastic
tone of the speakers voice created a
profound sensation" Beatty Beatty?
That must be the same Gineral John
Beatty of Ohio, whom the Tribune de-
scribed a year and week ago as "a for
mer member of Congress and salary
grabher." We doubt if his speech was
nearly as dramatic and sarcastic as bis
utteranCes in August, 1877, when he de
noanced Mr.. Hayes and his friends as
renegade Republicans" and the State
platform as a falsehood and libel, and
when later he talked about the "treaCh
cry of the Administration of Rutherford
B. Hayes" and supple tools and things.

WHY HE SHOULDN'T RUN.


|. No other President did.

consistent with his past success.
8. 1t would show decay of leadership

THE SOLDIER BOYS ON DRESS PARADE--A
SUCCESSFUL DRILL AND GRAND
BALL.
The members of Company @. DUPONT,
Guards, fioated around the upper rooms
of the Masonic temple, last night, in full
dress uniform, and in the best posi- BILE
spirits, Determined to make the finest
kind of show before the numerous
friends who had gathered to witness their
first grand drill and reception. In honor
of the occasion the armory was hand
academy, on the opposite side of the hal,
where the reception took place, was ap-
propriately draped IN national colors.
Shortly after nine o'clock the exhi6i-
ton drill came off in the armory, and the
company, under the skillful manipula-
tions Of Captain Sam'l A. Macallister and
Lient. John NJ. Cnrtis, went through
"Hardee's Tactics" with lightning-like
rapidity, and with precision that was
really remarkable, considering the very
short time they have been practising.
Ahandsome silver medal. which was offer
ed by number of ladies to the best drill
led soldier in the ranks, was carried off
by Orderly Sergeant #. l.. Holiness, who ,
with becoming meekness bore the "blush-
ing honor" that was cast upon him. The
drill was witnessed by number of inter-
esteu spectators, VINO louuiy applauueu
the bold soldier boys, and complimented
them upon their precision of movement
and accuracy of step. 1t was proud oc-
casicn for Company y, and one that the
members can ever look back to with
feelings of pleasure and satisfaction.
After the drill the reception commen-
ced in Webster's dancing aoau, my, and
soon the battle-scarred veterans were
whirling around the ballroom in COM
pany with the fair women who had re-
warded their success in the drill with
SMILES of approval and words of praise.
The reception was refined and recher-
che affair, and was rendered unusually
brilliant by the exquisite attires of the
fair ladies present, and the glowing uni
forms that covered the well-modelled
forms of the members of Company @.
Dancing was continued until far into the
morning, and naught occurred to mar
the pleasure and enjoyment of those who
attended Company C's reception.
