ST. JOHNS DAY.

Its Observance by L'Union Francois So
IUnion Francois turned out yesterday morn
ing in great force, the occasion being St..
Johns day, their patron saint, and the ami
versary Of the society. Headed by the North
western band, some three hundred knights of
st. John Baptist, proceeded from the hall
of the society down Seventh street to Cedar.
apd thence to the church of st. Louis, The
little church was crowded by a congregation
which seemed to appreciate fully the splendid
decorations of the sacred edifce. Mass was
impressively intoned by Pere Payette, who
also preached the sermon-a most eloquent and
earnest exordium-in which he held forth the
services of St. John for the emulation Of his
people The discourse, of course referred to
the fatherland of his hearers, and exhorted to
patriotism in the land of their adoption. After
the service the procession reformed, and pro-
ceeded to the priests house, where Mons. j. B.
Olivier delivered a lengthy address, ex tempore
to which the cure, Pere Payette suitably re-
piled, after which the procession proceeded nm
Tenth street into Rice, and thence to
Third, down Third to sibley street
depot where the ladies awaited the society, and
taking train they proceeded to White Bear lake
to spend the day. There were some 500 went
from st. Paul, and those from Minneapolis
Saltwater and other places swelled the number
to somewhere in the region of 1000. This was
the largest turnout of this society since it's ex
istence in st. Paul.

THE TRAMP NUISANCE,

The tramp nuisance is assuming alarm
ing proportions of late. Each day seems to
increase the number of the Inherent vaea
bonds, and stimulate them to holder deeds,
moro fragrant outrages upon the property
rights of citizens, more utter disregard of
law and decency. Whereas, few years ago
they rambled about singly or in pairs, beg
ging meal of victuals from door to door.
and occasionally robbing hen roost, to-day
we find them moving in large bodies, fully
organized, imperiously demanding subsist-
ence wherever they may chance to be, and
enforcing it in case of any refusal; taking
possession of railway trains, and occasional
ly invading and capturing entire villages.
They have an utter disregard for the rights
of others, seeming to regard the well-to do
as their legitimate prey. The world owes
them living, they argue, and they are
bound to have it, with or without the con-
sent of the aforesaid world. Work is their
abomination. They flee from the prospect
of it as they would from pestilence. Too
lazy to work, they are not too proud to beg
or to steal. They are excrescences upon the
body politic-a disease that menaces the
safety of the community. So great has the
nuisance become, that measures for its
abatement have become imperative
The growth of a few years, the progress
of the army of tramps is not difficult to
trace. Driven from the large cities
by lack of work, few scores
of men sought employment
at distance from home. Failing in what
they sought they found themselves without
money or friends. Rambling from place to
place on foot in search of work, they grad
ually developed taste for their vagrant
life, especially as they found many kind
hearted people along their route who minis
tered to their necessities with open-hearted
iberality. The ranks were recruited as thew
progressed, mostly from the same sources
as those from which the first tramps ORIG
irally sprang, with an occasional accession
from the army of thieves, and ever since,
like rolling snow ball, the gang has been
accommodating size and force until it has now
assumed alarming proportions. Instead of
being kindly received as at first, they, by
their insolent demands, have provoked hos
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1878-06-25

tility among the farming population, and
gradually their character has been trans
formed. Instead of a lot Of harmless vaga-
bonds as they were few years ago, they are
now horde of rapacious marauders and
constituencies desperadoes, plundering and
outraging wherever they go, preying upon
the weak and avoiding the strong. Now
that work is plenty and wages good in the
rural districts, they are making their way to
the cities, there to join the desperate gangs
who render life and property unsafe, per-
haps to incite riots and bloodshed for pur-
poses of plumber.
Treated at first as a necessary evil, and
one of the concomitants of the hard times,
the authorities tolerated the tramps for long
time, only arresting at rare Intervals few of
the evil has assumed such proportions that
it demands the most rigorous repressive
measures. But how to suppress them is the
problem. It is to be regretted that in the
interior of this and other States the authori-
ties of the law are too weak to cope with the
bands of depredators that everywhere
abound; or if able to do so they are lacking
in means of suitably disposing of them.
St. Paul is exceptionally fortunate in having
a vigilant and efficient police force, and a
stone-pile on which the tramps can exercise
their muscle, and those who have been in ju-
dicious enough to come to this city have
been compelled to do the public service. The
result has been a religious avoidance of ST..
Paul by the entire genus. If this plan could
be adopted in every township where these
Migrants abound, there would soon be an
end to the class. Work they detest, and if
they were compelled to labor for the State at
employment such as the State could afford
not agreeable as rule-they would soon
seek other fields, or find work of moro con-
genial character. The vagrant laws are
ample to admit of their incarceration, and
although an occasional hardship might be
| done by the arrest Of man willing, though
unable to work, the good of the
the community requires that there shall be
| no leniency shown. If this policy is fol
| lowed up vigorously for few months, there
is no doubt but in a very short time the
army of tramps would be broken and scat
tered, and eventually this large anc
threatening class would disappear en-
tirely from the country. little enforced
labor may inculcate in their minds the ne
cessity of industry, and drive them to thu
adoption of voluntary means of subsistence.
Let the plan be tried for time, at least, an6
the vagrant laws vigorously enforced. I
is the only means at present open, and the
safety of the community demands impera
lively that every means at hand be employed
to restrain the license of the professional
tramps.

The Exploit Which Made Muss in the
COOneY Family.


Cooney Family.
There is trouble in the house of Cooney
John Cooney is married man of middle age
with "a little family" as he expressed it yes
terday in the municipal court. Mrs. Cooney
may be forty. but she is neither fat nor fair
If anything she is shcewishly lean. To an or
binary observer, it would seem that neither Of
these two need never have occasion for jealousy
of the other, but the ordinary observer is very
apt to be deceived. II appeared from the evil
dence adduced yesterday, that Mary Thomas,
who, by the way, will never be hung for her
beauty, came on Saturday night to the Cooney
mansion, and asked permission to remain for
the night. And here let it be recorded that
Mary escaped from the House of the Good
Shepherd some two weeks ago, by taking a
flying leap over the fence. Mrs. Cooney
strenuously objected to the presence Of
Mary in the Cooney domestic circle, but John,
as the ruler of the household, said Mary might
stay, and stay she did, with the understanding
that she should occupy the rocking chair, or
the floor, or anything as bed, for the Cooney
family was just out of supply in that piece of
domestic apparatus, except one which was oc-
cupied by the ''little family And thus to
sleep went all under that roof, including the
stranger within the gates. Toward o clock on
Sunday morning, Mrs. Cooney awoke. She be-
came immensely wide awake, for on the bed,
next to John, lay Mary-Mary that escaped be-
ing a Magdalene. OF course, Mrs. Cooney

John said, Not guilty." and stood
the brunt of a trial. Mrs. Coonev
gave her testimony with youngster sprawling
all over her, who cried till he was allowed to
transfer his sprawling to the floor. She
| averred that her husband had, for two weeks
past, been altogether too intimate with their
Saturday night visitor, while the defendant
testified in his own behalf that it was not thus,
and that it was only the abundance of his char
ity which led him to shelter Mary Thomas a
homeless wanderer on Saturday night John
Cooney was sent to the stone pile tor four
teen days. and Mary Thomas to the House of
the good Shepherd for one month.

AMERICANS ought to be proud of the states
man-like relations that exist between this
country and Mexico. The Mexicans occa-
sionally raid our territory and steal few
hundred horses, whereupon our army is dis
patched across the border to steal them back,
together with as many more as they can lay
their hands on. How much better is this
plan than the old fogy method of settling
difficulties in vogue in Europe! 1t is simply
the theory that the biggest thief gets the

It begins to look though the stoutside

yet get chance to take Uncle (Aleck) Ram
sey and Father nouis) Hennepin by tho
hair of their heads and the nap of their
necks and either rub their noses together or
administer proper castigation and rebuke.
Ramsey has always been able to run the
Democratic machine, not only Of the Dis
trict but the State, without rival; and he
has been mad and jealous because he could
not run the Republican party also. Henne-
pin, from the beginning, has been the best
Republican-cast the most votes stood up
to the rack and fought the party battles. By
cunning and chicane Ramsey has always
managed to appropriate more than his share
of the spoils. In the old Democratic days
this was to be expected, for 10, he cast the
votes; and he has been envious of Henne-
pins Republican majority ever since. Hence
the late row between the two counties as to
their representation in the coming Congress
sional convention.

The reasoning OF the Little Falls Tram
script is good, and it's choice of candidate
is excellent. Mr.. McNair would undoubt-
eddy be the strongest man whom the Demo
Gratis could select. His brilliant run in the
last campaign evidenced his great populari-
ty and the esteem in which he is held by the
masses irrespective of party. We are not
advised as to whether he authorized the
statement that he would not accept NOM
ination the present year, but, if SO, we hope
that he may yet be induced to reconsider his
determination. However, this may depend
upon who the Republican candidate will be.
The name of Hon. Fl. NJ. Rice, of ST.

while in the United States Senate, achieved
reputation for ability and faithful service
to the State which has not been equalled by
any Of his successors. His usefulness in the

Estimated, and next to Mr.. McNair, he is
probably the most available man for the

CUBA.-NEw York, Feb. 28.-It
was rumored here last evening that
intelligence had been received from
Havana stating that the volunteers
were IN a state of riot in consequence
of the terms of peace the government
proposed to offer the Cubans, and
that they insisted that the Captain
General should force the Cubans to lay
down their arms and surrender uncon-
ditionally.
A Havana letter of Feb. 23d, says
the Is was designated as the day on
which the insurgents should lay down
their arms, and on the 28th peace was
to be officially proclaimed. 1t was not
thought the execution of the terms of
peace would involve serious inconven-
ience. Gen. s. S. Gonzalez, Of the
Spanish army, arrived last night from
Havana. He comes as commissioner
to treat with the Cuban Junto on the
terms of peace.
