THE TRAMP QUESTION.

THE bill introduced in the legislature
to prevent vagabondage is pretty well
calculated TO secure that end The Sc
verify of the punishment inflicted on the
professional tramp should not receive as
much attention as the means of distin.
gushing the honest laborer in search OF
employment from the tramp who preys
upon society. 1t is quite clear that i'm
prisonment is by no means a remedy for
yagabondage. Hard labor is the most
efficient cure. The tramp wanders forth
because he dislikes labor. The depriva-
ton Of liberty is no hardship to those,
who are accustomed to bear Ills while at
liberty. Work is what they seek. to
avoid and the certainty of encountering
it will be sure to drive them from their
lawless habits. Every one has sympathy
for the honest labOrer who is so unfor-
tunate as to be out of employment, but
such a one is never guilty of criminal
acts, nor will he refuse work when offer
ed him.
The punishment by whipping is a very
judicious one. The practice is barbarous
in certain cases, but if it aids in solving
the tramp question it is simply means
of removing a greater evil. Capital
punishment is something which the SEN
timent of the people will not sustain and
1t is also too severe q penalty for the
crime under discussion. Confinement
has no terrors for tramps. They have
no feelings that suffer by the indignity.
no business that it will injure. Impris-
onment to them is simply an agreeable
change. The question then arises what
means shall society take to protect itself!
Every person who gives the matter a
careful examination will admit that hard
labor or the lash are the best and most
certain means. Nomere sentiment against
the revival of a long discontinued prac-
tice should avail aught against the need
of stopping the crimes of these wacder-
ing vagabonds. 1t is the abuse OF this
mode of furnishing criminals that makes
1t odious. 1t will solve the tramp cues
ton more readily than any other means
suggested.

The report of the sub Committee on
Commerce on harbor appropriations has
been considerably modified by the whole
committee before being reported to the
house. The whole appropriation is some
$1,000, 600 less than what was passed last
year, the committee helieveing that the
reduced revenues of the government viii
not warrant large appropriation. We
select the following IS being those in
which our readers are most interested:
Green Bay $1,000. Recommended by sub com
mitee sl2. Sturgeon Bay 1850 sub committee
$4,000. Ahnapee 5000, Sub committee 5000
Two Rivers $4,000 Sub committee $4,000. Man
itowoc $1,000 Sub committee $4,000. Sheboygan
$1,000. sub committee $4,000. Port Washing
ton 5000 Sub committee 5000. Fox and Wis
conSin S2l0.000 Sub committee $4,000.
1t will be observed that there is a gen.
eral reduction except in the cases of Two
Rivers and Port Washington. The
engineers have urged the necessity of so
far improving the Two Rivers harbor as
to meet the wants of local commerce.

THE bill to prevent religious exercises
in the public and normal schools, and
the state university should by all means
become law. Morality and religion
have ceased to be synonymous terms, on
account Of the denominationM character
OF the latter. Prayer in school is q mat
ter of form and is fatal to harmony when
different religious denominations are
represented. Those who persist in adj
vocating the practice can compensate
themselves for its discontinuance BY in
creased attention to family prayer. Adj
vocacyofand opposition to thepractice are
more the result of obstinacy than of any
conviction that good or evil results. As
church and state are to be kept entirely
separate, let the church he excluded from
state n stitIltions.

The test oath for jurors in the south
ern states is something that should be
speedily abolished. As the revised stat
utes now stand they disqualify any per-
son from acting as grand Or petit juror
in the United States court, who has Civ
en- voluntary aid or comfort to the re-
bellion. It must be confessed that every
person IN the south who was true to his
manhood entered the southern army
If any remained out, it was more general
ly through cowardice than through any
feeling of loyalty to the union. This
iron clad oath practically gives control
of the indictments and verdicts to the
ignorant negroes. Think of such men
as Lamar, Hill or Stephens being set
aside and preference given to poor
illiterate negro. Whenever an attempt
is made to change this matter repubh

The Chronicle makes some very per
tinent remarks as to the manner in which
bills introduced i'll the legislature are re-
ported by the official papers. 1t is i'm
possible from these reports tounderstand
what the legislature proposes to do. At
the beginning Of the session we attempt
ed to keep the run OF legislation, but
found it utterly impossible to do so
through the meager facts furnished in
the reports. Local papers seldom have
an opportunity to offer any comment on
Il bill until it becomes q law, and then
comment is idle.
