War Parties Of Tramns.

In some portions of the West, especially In
the pleasant State of Iowa, there is lust now
an evil that may extend eastward and nav MS
s VISIT, and we should be prepared for H.
ne tramps are aggregating into small bands
OF hity TO hundred and terrorizing the com
munities through which they pass. Until last
year they used to move in small squads of two
or three, begging with piteOus whine, and
stealing when the chance offered. In moving
thus they were within the control Of the Coun-
ty Constables but now they come in bands
that defy the law; they take possession of
railroad trains and ride where they please:
they go to the farm-houses and help them
selves to what they want, and If il be denied
them the farmer is in danger of having his
barn burned.
Il is not easy to see how this new and griev-
Gus stage of the tramp nuisance is to be met.
Something must be done do strengthen the
arm of the law. The formation of vigilance
committees among the farmers and the rigor
Gus enforcement of the vagrant act seems the
most practicable. Men going along in squads,
having no visible means of support, and re-
iusing to work when il is offered them. should
be taken up and placed in the House of Cor
reetion and made to work A certain discre-
ton and care would be needed 10 keen from
expressing honest poverty in search of work.
But there ought to be no great difficulty in
distinguishing between a laborer in misfor.
tune and lazy tramp: the one should receive
assistance, the other punishment
We do not think that any additional legisla.
ton is required, but there il needed a more Wig
! orOus enforcement of the laws that We have. II
was last year, during the labor riots, that the
tramps learned the advantage of moving in
large bodies. They tasted the light of defying
and overthrowing for the while the law OF
the country. They have begun this year to
put IN practice the lesson learned then and
the fact that they have combined TO DEFY the
law makes it needful that society shall com
bine TO crush them.

Tms.sd Agsnts Of DE RspablIean Parry.

The Philadelphia Ledger SAYS IF the New
Orleans branch Of the Potter Committee would
strain point and try TO capture just one wit
ness whose testimony viii keep till next day,
what a welcome change that wonld be. At
the present rate their witnesses impeach each
other as fast as they are put on thea stand.
One swears that the last preceding witness
committed perjury, and then be is immediate
ly met by testimony showing that he was
bribed 10 make that oath-and so the wretched
string Of perjurers and bribers and forgers IS
spun out. The Committee seems to have
struck an unbroken stratum Of false swearing,
bribery and corrupt practice Of every kind
down there. Such testimony is of no manner
Of use TO anybody. The Committee should
certainly 'smake an effort, as one of Dick
ems characters used TO say, to capture at
least one witness with some character and
standing in society, just by way of salt, to
save the testimony OF the rest from putrefac-
ton in this very trying weather.
The Ledger viii please bear in mind that
these witnesses, bad as they are, were the
chosen agents of the Republican party,
some Of whom were in places of trust and
confidence and great responsibility under
the Administration. These are the kind
of vermin which crawled into official posi-
ton under the carpet-bag government in
the South, and were the active and passive
tools and instruments by which the coun-
try was cheated out of its rightful chief
magistrate, and popular suffrage trOdden
under foot

eight years ago by Mr.. B. f. Shriver. who
had previously gained a thorough knowledge

Shrlyer had many difficulties to encounter at

gy, he pushed ahead, and by the year 1873
had so well established himself as to feel JUS
tihed IN erecting a new building to take the
place of the barn in which he first set up his
machinery. A year or two later increasing
trade made 1t necessary to enlarge the new
building.

the great display of machinery which marked

was the beginning or the open manifesto

followed by the most extensive and long
continued crash in credit ever experienced
in the history of this country. And it has
not yet ended, after a lapse of nearly five
years. The 18th of September viii be the
fifth anniversary of that day. Let it be

invoking divine guidance and deliverance
