TILE GRE1T 1MEEICAN TRIMP.

The increase of the genus tramp since the
war has been great that the absence of any
serious study of him is surprising The Census
Bureau has not taken cOSnizance of him, 1r
have our chronological societies marked him
for their own. He has grown with railroad
extension. lie has acquired whole set of
idosyncracics. He has separated himself more
and more from the rest of tho population. He
has developed a prodgality of vices and a
tenacity Of purposelcosncss calculated to
staggcr political economists. He has become
a serious nuisance to the dwccIs in the
country during summer and to the dwcers in
cities during winter He tolls not, neither
does he spin, and he has to be supported, either
out of the taxes, as when he gets sent up" for
three or six months, or by involuntary con-
trbutiOns, as when he raids upon the farmers
hen-rOOsts in the dark hours. In the cities he
affects stale beer. In the rural districts he
likes cider when apple-jacK cannot be
procured. But the quecrcst thing about him
is that he fancies he is living without work, yet
actually takes more exercise as a rule than the
average laboring man.
In the summer he tTamps all over the
country. He thinks he is resting himself and
"beatng" the railroads when he hugs q
brake beam under car, and, smOthered with
dust or mud, is carried in painful posture and
at the momentary risk of his life, across the
country. So, too, when he walks twenty miles
day in search of food he seems to imagine
that he is escaping the primal curse, and il
winter ne deems it a proof of smartness to
secure lodgings in the Jail even mt the cost OF
hard labor. The evolution of the tramp de-
serves careful study. He is n compound o.
Bedouin and bandit. Something about hin
revolts from steady employment, conventional
restraints, and the decencles of civilized life
There are tramps who have been made 50 by
misfortune, but such constitute a small

The eyer-in creasng pressure of competition
which tends to crowd out the infrm of purpose,
the weak and the sluggish, is also an operative
cause. The comparative ease with Wllcn sun

rowing life. On the contrary, there is reason to
believe that they seek sometimes to organize
themselves. In the far West they have ire
ouently travelled in large bands and practiseu
brigandage on a small scale. What is to be the
future of the tramp must be left to CONJECTURE
but il is evident that he is a subject for lnvestl-
cation, and that sooner or later he must DC

Providence. r. l., will celebrate its respecta-
bic antiquity of 25Oyear next summer. The
middle of June has been fixed upon as the date
for the celebration. although it is generally
supposed that Roger Williams founded the
town of Providence on the 29th OF May, 1886.
The point is little uncertain, however, and
the residents of the place are therefore enabled
TO select a time when the obseryances will be
sure to pass off brilliantly.

The discovery of a case of smallpox among
fine insane patients on Blackwell's Island is
only alarming because it is impossible to find

The woman stricken down had not been off

more cases will be found. But most of the

No New Yorker who possesses the senses of
smell and sight can honestly say that the
streets of the city are not cleaner now than in
1879, and no New Yorker, therefore, viii have
much sympathy with any undertaking intended
to show that Mr.. Coleman, Street Cleaning Com
missioner is extravagant and inefficient. Some
figures going to prove this were offered
to the Senate Investigating Committee
some days ago; but we remarked at
the time that Mr.. Coleman must be
heard from before any one should pass judg-
ment on him. His defence is now in, and il
explains fully, and to his own advantage. all
the points urged against him. AS matter of
fact the Commissioner declares that he re-
moved more loads of refuse in 1884 than the
Police Department did in 1879; also that the
carts are larger, and that in 1884 $4,000 miles
of street were cleaned as against about 5000
in 1879. The case may fairly be decided as
closed with verdict in favor of the present
system.

twenty four miners imprisoned in the bowels
