TO the Editor of The Neus.

DEAR SIR The following item ap-
peared in the last issue of the Herald:
1.-THE Reppblicans are so indignant over
the abusive tone Of their Mount Holly organ
that another paper of the high-toned Repub-
litan pattern Is talked Of"
Only the last few words Of the above is
literal truth. Indignation does not ex-
press the sentiment of the Republican
party at the tone Of its leading organ dur
ing the last campaign. The party is dis
gasted, and ascribes much of the apathy
Of its members to this one cause. / re-
gret exceedingly to note the apparent
change in the tone of the Mirror during
the past three yeare, tending as il does 10
egotism, arrogance and a holding sloof
from the advice aud opinions Of its con-
stituents and relying entirely upon itself
to conduct political matters in Burlington
county. have been a reader of the
Mirror for many years, having been
subscriber long before the change in own
ership, and up 10 the time referred to
have admired and followed its teachings
with few exceptions, and am sorry to
state that j am now resdy for new lead
er. 1t is evident that it has its idols and
is Joined to them, and recent events war
rant me in believing that rather than for
sake them they will go down together.
This will not do for the Republican party;
it must have a new deal and assert at
once the independent spirit that rebuked
it so severely in the last campaign; il
other words we must "kiss the rod that
long and earnestly bound up in its own
wisdom to break loose from the tolls,
hence the cry for high-toned paper
With all due respect to the political
preferences and opinions Of THE NEWS,
1 would ask, cannot this element of the
people be allowed to support you in con-
sideratiop that you will preach for US true
political principles from an independent
standpoint c. knowing no alliance with
past ideas, bosses or self-styled leaders,
those who reek for themselves first, last
and all the time, and who have used their
nov selfacfeated party for their individ-
ual ends. Or better still, let us have
your paper for jnst consideration to be
carried on in the interest of those who
are done with class politics and who now
intend to vote for good men, good meas
ures and good government irrespective of
party. Perhaps this is asking too much
and perhaps you may think / am taking
too much for granted. Not SO. ] have
talked with earnest thinking men, whose
interests are great and who would will
Iingly come forward and pay their share
towards establishing such a newspaper
We want no strife and hence would pre-
fer THE News to starting an opposition

transient business might rot succeed l..

can bear witness to the insuferable i'm
pudence and hectoring demands of the
tourist gang. About this season of the
year the tramp wants heavy pantaloCns,
flannel shirts and oyercoats, and he knows
just how to get them. Understanding
the geography of every town ne enters,
he tramp campaigns like an experienced
general, always with the chances in his
favor. lie knows that those living on
the outside of town are not as we'll pro-
tected as those within, and his plan Of
operations is made in accordance with
that fact He knows, too, that the male
portion of the household generally does
bis business in the most populated section
of the place, snd is, consequently, COM
PEELED to be absent all day from bis res
idence, leaving his homestead in the
hands of his wife or female housekee per.
These are the localities where the tramp
to the doors of these unprotected resi-
dences and levies his contributions in a
swaggering style, knowing fall we'll that
the timid women in charge, fearing VIC
lence, will give him almost anything to
proven mourning his displeasure or
rousing his ire. The tramp is no fool,
and he works Upon these womanish feel
logs with an ingenuity worthier of bet
ter cause. He wings the gate open widely
or rings the bell with repeated jerks at
the knob, and, when his snmmons is
answered, he assumes more the air of a
brigand than the demeanor of a homeless
wanderer seeking food and raiment at
the bands of the charitable. He gener-
ally represents that he wants a coat, a
hat, shirt, or square meal" and his
want is made known in language which
is taken to be of a threatening nature,
and the shrinking woman WHO stands be-
fore him is often glad to satisfy his de-
maDd in order to get him away from her
unguarded premises, believing that a re-
fusal will bring upon her his brutal re-
venge. This description Of the tramp's
method Of striking" his victim is by no
means overdrawn. Such insta noes occur
every day and the inmates of houses on
the borders are subject to this kind Of
treatment every day in the week. All
the power which our police authorities
can exercise TO obliterate this nuisance
should be brought at once into requisi-
ton, as most of ihe'thefts, burgIaries and
incendiary fires are the work of the ma
rauding, worthless tramp.
