FRIDAY.
TIE ORDER OF TRAMPs.
The ..Order Of Tramps' will soon re-
ou;re the attention Of Congress, unless the
s..tes shall hereafter show more correct
s,nrec;ation Of the danger to the peace OF
soc;etv. and the stability Of our institu-
t;ons.f han they have generally exhibited
,oretofore. since the new order of
loafers, called cramps has begun
TO people the great outdoors OF this
country. They appear like a new order Of
Gypsies, rowing and reckless, without pos
sessing any Of the better characteristics OF
the Gypsy people. They increase rapidly,
or at least have increased, until they
have become not only a nuisance, but
a danger, malignant, vindictive, trav-
cling the country and demanding,
rather than soliciting aims, and
making il dangerous, and often disastrous,
10 refuse their begging assessments. Re
cent kilograms tell how some thirty Of
these fellows resisted and attacked the
police in Akron, Ohio, Who had attempted
TO arrest a person. With muzzles of
pistols at their breasts, the police
had to retire before these gen.
tlemen ct large. But they returned
with q force Of military and arrested about
half of them. They should have had the
benefit Of a drumhead court-martial, and
prompt punishment from q file Of soldiers,
had that mode Of settlement been possible.
TROUBLE is likely to arise out of the So
called international match Of this year at
Creedmoor, in which the American team
shoots . walk over, there being no other
entry. The Sharps Rifle Company has
made q standing offer of a prize Of $50 in
gold 10 any rideman SURPRISING the score
Of 2l9 points. made by Bruce Of the Ameri-
can team, in last years international
match. This was to be done at long
n in . match in which six persons
shot, and with . Sharps rifle. At 800, 900,
and 1000 yards J. 8. Sumner, while shoot
ing in the American team at Creedmoor
recently, scored 22i, beating Bruce's score
by two points. Now . representative OF
the Sharps Rifle Company asserts that the
prize will not be awarded, since the shoot
ing did not form Q match, there being but
one entry. The decision Of this point is
o q which excites much argument and
criticism among rifiemen.

OxE Of the conspicuous things in the
Philadelphia exhibition was a show OF Cal
ifornia wine by Gustav Maize. There were
great piles Of the bottled product, and a
small restaurant attached, in which pur-
chasers of cold cuts were given wine, as
for nothing. Maize was then a
very extensive grape grower in San Mateo,
besides conducting a large banking bust
ness in San Francisco. News of his sui
eide is at hand. His business affairs of
late bothered him, and a run Oh his bank
was the browning trouble.
In his last public speech before relin-
gushing the Governor-G eneralship CT the
Dominion, Lord Dufferin spoke with
warmth Of the United States, and
urged the further cultivation of cordial re-
with the American people. The
speech has significance from the fact that a
new commercial policy toward the United
States was an issue of the late election
which resulted in such overwhelming de-
feat to the Government. Lord Dufferin
very delicatcly warned Canadians not to
be too aggressive.
DANIEL s. WEBSTER, formerly of Bos-
ton, spent many years at sea, visiting all
parts Of the globe, fought on the Union
side in the late war, was captured, escaped,
in Philadelphia, rejoined the
army, and at the close Of the war went to
Wisconsin. He lately tramped from the
West, to find that $3.50 deposited in a Bos-
savings bank by his father many years
ago had grown to S1,693. He has now
bought a farm and settled.

A YOUNG student of divinity in Fulton,
N. Y, while acting as Postofice clerk, stole
and money amounting to more
han $500. His plea that he wanted the
lash to help him finish his studies that he
might the sooner go to preaching did not
wall with the Justice, and the youth was
sent TO the County Jail.
