Tramp worth Noticing.

The opportunity TO say good word Tor
a tramp occurs so seldom that 1t ought to
be improved when it occurs.
The tramp who protected couple of
ladies near marlborough, n. c., men,
ton of whom was made in our dispatches
yesterday, appears to have been better
sort Of a tramp than usually applies for a
nights lodging or something to eat
The two North Carolina ladies were
afraid. doubtless, to refuse the tramp a
nights lodging. and they were afraid to
have him about the house. In their di-
Iemma a happy thought occurred to them.
They would offer the tramp a bed m the
closet and lock him in. They carried out
this programme, and If 1t had not been
for the burglar who broke into their house
they would have slept peacefully, doubt
less, throughout the night.
1t may be that they think that the
tramp was directed to their home by
special providence, and that the same
special providence suggested the idea of
locking him in the closet along with the
sugar bowl and the preserves.
Without inquiring into the influence
which directed the tramp into the closet,
it is fair to say that he proved himself to
be a pretty brave sort of a fellow. When
the ladies let him out of the closet, very
much as a dog is unclaimed from ken
mel. he made short work of the burglar
with his little pistol.
II the ladies' did the fair thing by the
tramp-and doubtless they dId-they
,,,,-o hin, honav nm his broad at brpa kfast
and told him that ne might lodge in the
closet again when he came that way. All
tramps arc not as bad as they lOOS TO be,
bat there is no doubt that they are fully
as filthy as they appear 10 be.

Prcnaring to Retrench.

The Senate is beginning TO understand
that its extravaganza in spending the
public money is being gradually con-
demned throughout the country. A Re-
publican Senate cannot afford to vote
money for junketIng trips for its members
while A Democratic administration is
inaururating reforms and introducing
economy into all the departments of the
government Of which it has control.
IL is certainly time to stop the practice
Of allowing Senators to travel about the
country at the expense of the people
when Congress Is not in session. The
information which these junketing Sena-
toriaI committees pick up is about as
valuable as some of the reports which are
published by the Bureau OF Agriculture.
After the worthless stuff is collected at
great expense, an additional expense is
incurred in its publication.
The Republican Senators have just dis
covered, il appears, that there ale too
many Senate committees, too many COM
rnittee clerks and too many Senate en-
Moves. There are about 800 people en-
Moved about the Senate, in one capacity
and another. They are actually in each
others way. 1t would be difficult for
some of them TO define their duties. Dur
ing the long period that the Republican
narty had control Of the government thou
sands of men were placed on the pay rolls
for whose services there was no need.
The whole aim Of those in power appeared
TO be to provide for as many Ct their
friends as possible.

Lamar and the Cattle Companies.

Lamar and the Cattle Companies
The Secretary of the Interior may not
be very practical, and he may not have
much taste for details, but he is an honest
man and is STRAIGHTFORWARD in all his
dealings. Before doing anything he wants
to know whether it is right that 1t should
be done.
1t seems that he has been looking into
the contracts by which cattle companies
enjoy the right of using the lands OF the
Indian Territory and Oklahoma for cattle
ranches. Captains Payne and Couch
with their followers, have been driven out
Of Oklahoma two or three times, While
the cattle companies have been allowed
to remain. The companies certainly have
40 right 10 occupy the lands unless
they obtained it from the Interior De-
partment, and it is difficult to see why
greater favor should be shown cattle
companies than those seeking homes.
The dispatches yesterday stated that
three United States Senator'S were thought
b be interested IN these cattle companies.
III this statement is well founded 1t eX-
plains, to some extent, why such bitter
war was made on the Oklahoma boomers
while the cattle companies were not mo-
Tested. Those who had influence in high
official quarters were looking out for the
interests of the companies.
1t is not probable that Secretary Lamar
will show any preferences. 1t Will not be
at all surprising il an order shall be is
sued which will free Oklahoma from cat
tie men as well as from the land grabbers
who are trying to get a fOothold in the
territory as settlers. A good many little
schemes. in which prominent people are
interested, may be discovered if the heads
of the different departments search close
" enough for them.

r,,o c,,o,,ls Of the once Seekers.

The GroNyls of the Office Seekers.
The office seekers are in bad humor be-
causa the President is so slow in making
aDnointments to office. IL the dispatches
reflect the condition of affairs at Wash-
iprton there is great discomfort among
the Office seeking class, and great man!
patriots who think they did good service
for the party last fall are cursing the ad-
ministration in whispers because their
requests for places have not been grantea
and are not likely TO be granted.
Of course. it is distressing to know that
the President hasn't met the expectations
Of those who felt that they would be
needed as soon as the new administration
was inaugurated, and who caught up their
grip-sacks and hurried to Washington,
so as to be on hand when the division Of
the spOils began.
Doubtless the President himself feels
that he has somehow or other done an
injury to a good many very est'ma0le
people by failing to appoint them to COM
Portable places with good salaries. 1t is
not easy to see, however, how this IN
comfortable condition of affairs is to be
changed for the better.
Many Of those VINO were lOudest In their
approval Of the civil service plank in the
platform adopted at Chicago last July
are the ones who now sarcastically ask
whether the President is a Democrat, and
whether be proposes to permit the Repue-
Leans to enjoy the fruits Of the Demo-
cratic victory. After pledging their party
and candidates to stand by civil service
reform, they can scarcely restrain their
wrath because the Old-time spOils system
is not inaugurated. Consistency in poll
tics. however. is not generally expected,
and it is not surprising, therefore, that
the effort Of the President to be consistent
and to keep his promises should cause
mutteTings Of discomfort.
II the President sticks to the policy
which he has adopted with respect to the
offices, it is hardly probable that there
will be a revolution, as has been threat
ened. in the Democratic party. The per-
csntage of those who voted for him who
want an Office is so small that there is not
much danger Of trouble within the Demo
cratic ranks if some Of the applicants iall
10 get what they want.
Ii is noticeable that the most of those
who thus far have been appointed either
were not applicants at all or, if they
were, did not press their claims very
vigorously. In making appointments the
President appears to proceed on the idea
that he has been chosen to administer a
great Office for the good Of the people and
not for the benefit Of few individuals
who want to live at public expense. He
knows, probably, that in many cases
those who are first to put in their petitions
for places are the ones who don't deserve
recognition. and who are not fitted to fill
any place creditsbly; that, in fact, they
hunt for an Office because they can
make a living in any other way.
The country is too big To be disturbed
bv the walls of disappointed Ofhce-seek-
ers. What is waited is good and
economical government, aud il the Presi-
dent viii give the people that they will
be willing TO let him take his time in
making changes in the offices.
