How They Treat Tramps in England.


The London correspondent If the
Baltimore Sun thus writes concerning
the treatment Of "tramps" in Eng
land:
Tramps, in birth and title, are Of a
British origin. AT this season Of the
year, when the days are long and warm,
the " tramp lnxuriates on the shady
lanes Of England, while during the cool
nights he secretes himself in more com
Portable quarters. Like Mickey Free,
the "tramp" has not "janius for
work." for, as il was not " a gift o. the
Gradys," neither Is ii Of those providing
pests of the country districts. The plan
Of punishment, next TO honest work. is
the terror Of the sstramp." When be

in couples, in any one locality, few
stout country lads, in the absence OF
the police, :. buck and gag him, and
place him on a convenient cross-road
place where vigilant eye i upon him.
II there be two, they are "bucked and
gagged and placed vis-a-vis at these
crossroads. As each passer-by takes a
mental photograph Of them, they once

kick or suggestive nudge that soon Gre

lice take tramps into costody, the

remedies that Faistaf dreaded. are gen
orally employed. But a few days ago
saw pair Of first-class tramps in the

ings Of de cats, dogs, crows, and
much vegetable hash. They were the
first tramps that had come into that lo-
cality in seven years, and evidently
were freshmen" innocent of what
was in store for them. There Is doubt
less some difference between the Eng
lish and many Of the American tramps
just now, rs many Americans are now
on the tramp in search Of work, but
take the name with all that it implies.
and Of course coming in for share Of
the dread and disgust inspired by their
lazier brethren Of the road. Under these
circumstances II would not be right 10
attempt TO cure the American evil with
the English remedy, except in cases Of
known criminal conduct, or, at least,
by the exercise Of wise discrimina-

tBoston Herald
WASHINGTON Feb. N.-Fhe committee re-
vsinR the electoral count will have n meeting
of the full committee tomorrow for the pur-
poseof hearing the reports OF the sub-commit-
tees. A bill has been agreed upon that will
probably be adopted by the full committee.
This does away with the clumsy Electoral
College, but retains the electoral principle by
giving to each State the number of votes that
II has ut present in the Electoral College by
allowing it as many votes as it is entitled to
Senators and members in Congress. The
manner of counting the vote is to have
the State authorities certify to the votes as
east and forward them to Washington for
final count. The votes Of States are divided,
however, instead of being given entirely to the
candidate receiving a majority. For instance,
the State Of Delaware has three votes In the
Electoral College. II Hayes had 100000 votes
in this State and Tilden 100000 then Hayes
would have one-sixth Of the three votes, or
six tenths of vote, and Tilden two and four
tenths. This avoids direct vote by the peo-
pie, while it gives the candidate the full bene-
tit of the popular vote. The rule for Obtaining
the proper proportion of the vote of State Is
to multiply the vote Of each candidate by the
number of electoral votes to which the State
is entitled and then divide each product by
the aggregate of votes east for both, and the
quotient will be the share to which each is to

pHow England Expects to Get Her Corn and
Wheat In Future.
Times. London.l

The consumption of corn in Europe is now
large, but will be presently enormous when
the means Of carriage are supplied, for from
the centre of the great valley Of the Missis-
sippi to London, Bristol Liverpool and to the
ports Of the Continent the transport may be
by water. Maize cannot afford costly trans
port; but it will pay all concerned when the
advantages offered by the river system Of the
valley are turned to the best account The
London General Omnibus Company feed their
thousands Of horses almost entirely on corn
meal for a tired horse thus gets his food in a
substantial form, easy to digest, and not re-
quiring, as with hay, for the horse to be long
on his legs before he can eat sufficient guam
tity. It is the best means of fattening
animals. The question was how to get it to
market with 8 profitable margin. The open
ing of the mouth of the Mississippi, through
the jetties formed by Eads, solved the pro-
bIem, and now are to be seen the disiointed
efforts Of those who seek first to take advan-
tage Of the change. In one place the anti
quated means of carriage placed difficulty
in the way; in another, the tonnage is not
forthcoming, while ships lie idle in European
ports, that would be glad Of a full cargo at p
reasonable rate. But these obstacles will
