THE tramp is in our midst more numerous at thIs time than perhaps ever before. He is professional; at least some of them are. He is the kind that gets a meal at place and goes down town and tells his pard where to go and fIl mp We have heard many complaints; ve saw in two instances men refused vjctuals:one of whom We felt sure was an unfortunate and not a tramp. He, we pited; in fact both classes We pity; but the professional Is one that has no other occupatIon. He will not work until .o1ced to; professional tramps as a eneral thIng are harmless; they will ake nothing but cold victuals; a thief is not q tramp, and few professional tramps ire thieves.

WHEN a man has resolved within hin- self to save and lay by a certain sum of money to be invested for himself and wife n their old age, and relinquishei the same to assist n paying off church debt, a- did old Deacon Mills in Boston last Sunday, the man is made of better stuff than most of men. But that wasn't all. His example WIS SD touch
 ing and appealed so strongly to the rest ot those present that m an hours time S55,OO0 was raised, that is 1T the figures gre correctly reported. The old man ought to 20 to glory, sure, for what he did came from his heart and for -he good of the Lords cause Every once in a while such a God-loving, devout Christian pops up and seems to shame everybody else in doin ng a good, generous, Christian act. If there were only more Deacon Mills in this world; not only to be found in church, but in the everyday walk of life, the world and the people in it would be better. Selfish, sorlid nature are the curse and pane of humanity; generous natures, tempered with wisdom, gladdens hearts anl makes life shine brightly even to those whose pictures are mostly trapped in black with gloomy back grounds. Emulate Deacon Mills act, not alone for church and hereafter, but for humanity and the present.

In discussing the question of electing delegates to the Chicago convention, tine Philadelphia Press says: "PrimarIes which represent the people, delegates to Chicago chosen by unshackled prima- ries, acting district by district, and a candidate for the presidency level to the aims, the purposes and the asp ratiOns Of the best element of the pariy-these are ends upon which all of the Republi- cans can uuitc, and whose successful re- alization will embark the nation upon four years more of peaceful reform. No other course can accomplish this, and no other IS offered or sought by the independent voters of the Republl- can party Eight years ago the Democratic party offered a possible al- formative to many Independents. It offers one no longer. It stands for the spoils at Washington, the spelling of the ignorant and the weak at the South, and the spoiiatiun Of American industries all over the land. The signs are clear and the promise strong. Victory ls possible in no other way. and even the machine prefers dolng right and success there with, to wrong doing and the minority. < beaten boss is man at once out Of office and out Of a job. and this IS a year in winch the machines and their bosses are falling into line l. is well they should. In 1876 and in 1880, the power of the Independent voter was an un- known quantity. IL Is not now. We take it that the strongest believer in 'organi- zatiun' has DO desire to organize again the experience Of 1882 in this State and in New York. Once is enough. There must be no fooling with the buzz-saw of the Independent voter this year. Nor will there be. Rather do we look for ward to a nomination at Chicago in June which shall attest the high purpose and assure the success of a party winch DOW, as ia the past, carries the hopes of good government and better administration for the American people"

Gov.

He saw how Oury was treated in the great halls of Congress-l5 a nonen.ity. 4 different man would be treated different ly, and while a delegate can not vote, there IS much that can be done for the Territory he represents. And though he cannot participate in deciding the great questions of the day, be can perform the duties he ig elected io perform watch the interest oi the Territory, which is no small thing to the people though the position as delegate, com pared with a member, is not a delight and joy forever.

WHAT is to become of the city war rants outstanding. issued in 1883? That is a question agitating the American people, so 10 speak, just now. The Council has not exactly repudiated such, but they say there Is no law to warrant their payment, and that the warrants issued in 1884 take precedence over those issued in 1883. Itis true the city ex- ceeied in expenditures the receipts, but then agood deal of permanent improve ments were done. These improvements could have, it is true, been put off until another tune. but they, like Mrs Toodles' coffin and wheelbarrows, handy things to have around. We are told that after this years taxes are Pald that ifIthere is surplus in the treasury the old warrants will be taken care of. IT the City Council could do so witlout violation of the law We believe it would be entirely satisfactory to the people if provisions could be made for their pavmeht.

No matter for this purpose who is
 igh-, the rebel Fl Mahdi in his rebel fou m Egypt or the English in their aid to suppress him. this fact remains to the disgrace of England that in order to crush the rebellion a proclamation per hitting slaye-holding and slave-dealing has been issued. Everything IS said to be fair in war. but England has harped long and loud upon her hatred to slavery, but when self-interest is to be conserved, principle must be flung to the winds, and English arms must succeed.

No LITTLE comment is indulged in over the action of the Democrats se- leeting Chicago and holding their con- vention a month later than the Repub- licans. It is no surprise, however, for the Democratic leaders never lead; they follow. They pace along in the rear of the Republican party all through the campaigns about a month behind. and can't realize for a month after the votes are counted that they are beaten. IL was ever thus. and ever will be.

THE suggestion that Benjamin F. But Ter be appointed Governor of Utah is a good one, and the President ought to act upon it Ben would make lively Governor, and while he would make he polygamous fellows skip the official rope. he would have his best eye on the Gen tile. and We agree with the San Fran cisco Exchange, that while tbe General was notonously firm in the punishment Of secession during the war, his kind ness to women and children was pIo- yerbial-if he was a little harsh on inc women in New Orleans that had dis position to spit in his face. As Ben is a good judge of tanned human skins, he is just the man to tan the beck Of the polygamist who would dare disobey an order of the Governor; it would be cu- rioCs and interesting Co watch Ben's movements.
