TRAPPING.

LABOR troubles are becoming SO COM
mon in this country that one feels natur-
ally impelled to seek the cause outside
of the usual acknowledgements in
business. Tramps are not entirely made
up of men having vicious tendencies and
an overpowering dislike for systematic
labor. The country must furnish con
ditions which develop that excrescence
on society known as ''tramping." There
must be something more than volition
to lead men to cut loose from all social
and domestic ties, to abandon manhood
and virtue and to seek subsistence
through reliance on a cold charity over
burdened by multiplicity of such ap-
plications. The tramp, when averaged
is q vagrant as much through necessity
as through choice. Originally he was n
man without much force of character
whom adversely would easily discourage.
Division of labor made him mere me-
chanism and he needed to be under
some ones direction in order to be self
supporting. Capital used him as a ma
chine, and deprived him of all intellect
ual qualities except those of sensation.
The tramp will rather beg than work
because the little mind he has left has
been cultivated III that direction. He is
governed by habit and it will take some
time to get him out OF the channel IN
which he is accustomed to run. What
makes the United States a factory for
tramps? History shows that there is no
other country in which merit will be SO
soon recognized or in which perseverance
will more surely reach the goal of success.
Why then are we cursed with labor riots
and tramps? 1t is because capital is
becoming supreme in Legislative halls.
The republican party cherishes the inter.
ests of the wealthy classes and laws are
framed with reference to their demands.
| The welfare of the laborer receives 1t
consideration when the man of wealth
chooses to use his influence. The repub-
lican party is more intent on satisfying
the demands of the bondhoider than IL
seeing that the interests of the people sui.
fer no prejudice. Wealthy corporations,
such as the Union Pacific seldom appeal
in vain for partial legislation. This roa6
received aid enough from the government
for its completion without the expendi
ture of a cent by the stockholders. No
only this, but it has power enough tt
prevent aid from being extended to those
lines whose competition it fears. The
partiaiity of the government for bond
holders is sufficiently known.
We cannot deny the fact that the gov
eminent of the United States under re
publican domination is run largely in the
interests of the wealthy classes. Loci
the statutes over enacted during republi
can rule and you will find abundance o
laws for the protection of capital. 10,
will search them in vain for any recogni
ton of the rights of the poor as class
It is the wealth of the capitalist tina
receives attention rather than the want
of the citizen. The government is be
coming a special providence for the ricl
and a curse to the poor.

The republicans of the state begin to
realize that a grievious error was COM
mitted IN having the state convention
called SO early. The jnbilee did not
awaken so much enthusiasm as to COM
pensate for this error, and ticket IN the
field over one quarter OF year IN adj
vance of election, so diffuses enthusiasm
as to bring it within the confines of in
Indifference. The weakness of Coy.
Smith, too, appears to have developed
since his nomination. The denomination
Of the state ticket was the work Of poll
ticlans and tho unanimity prevailing IN
the convention was by no meaEs indica-
tive of general satisfaction. The repub-
licans thought that more than half the
work was done when the nominations
were made and that the presentation Of a
ticket was equivalent to victory. They
have now been reused from their fancied
security and speakers from abroad are
called in to awaken q little interest
They are now, by no means, confident of
success and the apathy which succeeded
their convention shows that their fears,
are well grounded.
Ii the republicans were reasonably
assured Of victory aid would not be asked
of Michigan and Ohio. 1t is evident
they look upon Wisconsin as close
state. \ victory for the democratic par
ty in Wisconsin this fall would be guar
anty of success next fall. 4 good ticket
should be selected and in view of its being
the initial step in the presidential contest
good men should have no hesiuaney
III accepting nominations. A platform
should be presented which would unite
democrats, even though it should widen
the breach between the democratic and
the greenback party. There are three
parties and the platform of each should
be an exposition of its views.

THE GREENBACK PARTY.

What is to become of the greenback
party? IS a question asked by many in
view OF the prospective powerlessness of
that party to maintain its organization.
Revolutions in France did considerable
good though as conducted they are an
indelible stain on the history of that ma
ton. The people there were deprived
of SO many rights, the nobility SO insol-
ent with power. that when the people as
serted their rights the recollection of
wrongs made them brutal. Revolution
in any country whose government was
not conducted solely in the interests of
the nobility would not have been so
marked by excess. The men who most
strongly felt the injustice to which the
people of the country were subjected I'M
der republican administration, went to
the opposite extreme i'll financial matters
and incubated policy more dangerous
than that from which they recoiled. But
their discussion of financial theories at
tracted the attention of the people to the
system being pursued by the republican
party. 1t was found that bondholders
were the pets of the government that what
was denominated good faith to the "cred-
itor of the government" was an attempted
justification of the most nefarious finan-
cial theories, that the country was to be
oppressed to promote the interests of the
men whose patriotism was satisfied by
loaning money to the government on the
| very best security and with high rate
OF interest. The greenback party did
not really aim to injure the bondholder
| to the same extent that the republican
party sought to enrich him at the expens Sc
of the people.
The republican party sought to direct
attention from their special legislation
by grand talk of honest money. Unfor-
| tunately tho democratic and the green
back party furnished the party in power
with talisman, which gave their financial
theories the appearance of soundness.
It would be well nigh ruinous to the
country had the greenbackers come into
power. 1t would have been equally
ruinous had they not come into being.
The sound part of their doctrine through
the AID of the democrats has come into
practice. What now shall be done with
the greenback party? Its success Ill
Maine may give it new lease of life.
It's existence at present is precarious.
| Would the defeat of the republican par
ty in Maine compensate for the confirm.
ed existence of the greenback party? II
undoubtedly would. With a party com
mitted to extreme measures such as the
republican party is, and with its strength
its defeat is the first duty of every one
DESTROYS of good government. The sen
timent of the people will not allow the
adoption OF the heresies found in the
greenback creed. 1t IS a party that can
not come into power. Extremes mus
be fought with extremes and the success
of the greenhack party IN Maine Woulc
counsel moderation in republican coun
ellis. The success of the greenback par
ty in Maine will not imbue that party
with so much life that it will become ;
source of danger. Greenbackers vii
soon join one OF the two parties for whici
they have now prediction. But thei
organization viii have been productive
of some good.

YELLOW FEVER.

For a time hopes were entertained
that the yellow fever at Memphis had
about exhausted itself. But it is again
on the increase. The number Of new
cases each day averages about thirty
four. Some people who had a severe
attack of the fever last year and recover
ed, are again taking the fever and dying.
The weather is not intensely warm there,
but seems TO be favorable to the spread
of the disease. The Teutonic Relief
Association have appealed to their coun-
trymen throughout the union for aid.
A death from yellowfever is reported
from New Orleans, though some reports
say the caase was puerperal fever.

Of settling political difficulties oc-
cured in some of the southern states, it
would furnish republican journals with n
