cant lot What he wants is money, with
which to buy rum what he does not want
and Will not under any circumstances ac'
cept, is the chance to work. His proper
place is the workhouse or prison, where he
may be kept from mischief and compelled
to earn his own living. and we have
enough Of laws, courts and jails to provide
for him according to his deserts. Can the
Police Commissioners drop politics and
personal squabbles long enough to see that
the law against these nuisances is enforced
They are more annoying than confde
men and more feared than burglars /; yet
there is not the slightest reason, except in
the gross negligence of police officers and
police magistrates, for their existence
at oil within the city limits. The law
should be enforced at once, if only to dis
courage the regular winter incursion of
these rascally nuisances from the rural
districts but cure is as necessary as pre-
vention when an evil has been allowed to
go unchecked as long as this has. The
peace of single householder is worth more

system has simple and beautiful appear
ance, but it is liable to arrangements as
ruinous as our own system. Even old
Father Nile has his vagaries and comes down
from time to time too full, or not full
enough. Less than q fair moiety of his
years are good ones. In Joseph's time the
average was apparently seven good and
seven bad for in Pharaoh's dream
''there came up out Of the river
seven well favored kline and fat fieshed," ;"
and ''seven other kline came up after them
out of the river ill favored and lean
feshed." In record of sixty-six inunda-
tions in modern times only thirty are
classed as good, the others being INSULT
cient or excessive. An insufficient inunda-
tion is cause of scarcity and famine, and
an excessive one causes such material dam
ages AS result in every country from foods
in the rivers. 1t will be especially unfor-
tunate for Egypt if great calamity comes
in the very year when promising attempts
to reconstruct her financial system are on
foot.

Rising of the Mile.

Apparently the meteorological disturb
ances that are so widespread on our side
the globe this year are severely felt on the
other side also, for the continuous rains of
which the report comes from Khartoum, in
Africa, and wllch seem likely to fill ''Africs
sunny fountains" uncomfor,ably tull must be
regarded Is a similar expression of Natures
tendency to an extreme departure from
averages. But incessant rains in the Soudan
mean in Egypt rise in the Nile of from six
to ten feet beyond its usual height between
the Goth and 30th of September; and Egypt
can stand that even less than we can stand
the greater number Of the remarkable con-
sequences OF meteorological arrangements
we have seen in recent seasons. In most
others dependent upon the early and
the later rains for the fertility of ne
soil and good yield Of the fields
have grumbled from time immemorial at
the machinery that Nature had thus pro-
vided for their good, and have cavilled that
aboundingly, even ruinously, plentiful in
another. They have complained that the
mischief caused by drought was not COM
pensated by the food that came year later,
and the millions dead from famine in Hin
dostan and China in these recent years are
evidences in support of that opinion. All
the grumblers at Natures rain system, as
found in temperate countries, have been dis
posed to wish that she had supplied the
world at large with the scheme and appa-
ratus given to Egypt. All Egypt's rain falls
in far away countries, where il does not
hurt any ones good clothes, and comes
down the river conveniently at once,

new tramp law having just come into
operation in New Hampshire some of the
sturdy beggars and loungers have gone to
State Prison and others are leaving the
State-it is simply impossible that any of
them arc wilfnlly going to work. 1t is time
that New York took action of the same sort,
and this city, with its six or seven thousand
male tramps and about one-tenth as many
vagrant females, is the proper place to be-
gin No new law is necessary the existing
Vagrant act is sufficient If the police courts
will enforce it. In New York the tramp is
even greater curse than the Street Cleaning
Commission. He infests every area and
doorway; yet If food-the only charity which
summer beggars should expects offered
him, he either curses the giver or throws
