| Statistics for the Year Is77-L1ve1y Growth
of the Tramp Nuisance.
! The police court statistics for 1873 show
the number of gentlemanly tramps to be
largely on the increase. Like the Irishman's
paired by the alarming number and uncom-
Portable propinquity with which they grow in
the hill.
| first of January, 1877, there were 12OO per-
sons who applied and found lodging in the
police station, quite a number of these, how
ever, being honest mechanics, who came
West during the strike in search of employ
ment and whose distress was merely tempo
| rary.
From January, 1878, to January, 1879, the
number of tramps who sought aud obtained
police station hospitality was 1884, showing
large increase over the year preceding.
The great majority of this number were
professional donothings, many of whom per-
sist in a wandering, nomadic existence,
simply because they are inveterately opposed
to soiling their hands with work.
A few there are who are hardened, or in
different enough, to openly avow their last
ing repugnance to anything approaching en-
ployment. No better illustration of this
fact could be had than by an incident that
occurred at the public station in this city the
other night.
A dilapidated specimen of the genus came
ambling into the station and with customary
gall, or Indifference, asked to remain over
night. Upon being questioned as to his oc-
cupation, residence, etc., he replied that it
was six of one and half dozen of the other.
This truly cosmopolitan citizen freely con-
fessed that he had no home or permanent
place of residence, and that he had no trade,
business or profession, had never done any
work, nor never intended to. "The county
owes me living, and am bound to have
one,'' was his closing ejaculation, and mus
ing in low, sweet undertone that it was q
free country, the sergeant beckoned to the
turnkey with instructions to show the gen.
tleman to the parlor bedroom.
