PiIferinR from q SAFE.


For tome time pat Mr.. G. W.
Fisher, who keeps furniture, jswelry
and general house furnishing store on
Second street, opposits Court Square,
has been missing small sums of money
and pieces OF jewelry from his safe,
but was 1T loss who to suspect. He
has q number of employees, none Of
whom, however, hal auy business in
the fate. The combination was not
turned of during the day, purely for
convenience, and the Articles missed
were taken when Mr.. Fisher or his
wife happened to be in part of the
store distant from the safe. A sack of
mutt a'ed coin was missed a few
days ago, and afterward a pair
OF handsome bracelets and a fine
gold chain. Inquiries were made and
Mr.. Fisher learned that one Of his
clerks, +. W. Oats, had been seen
wearing the watch chain, and that his
sweetheart had been dAzzlingly arrayed
on one or two occasions in pair of
bracelets like the pair stolen from
him. He had conference with Chief
Davis, who was convinced OF Oata's
guilt and ordered his arrest. He as
serted his innocence at first, bat when
Chief Davis folnd the stolen chain in
his trunk at his boa ding.house, Of 46

rot own, however, to the larceny OF
more than $50. The bracelets he sold
before Christmas to Hilbrsth, tho lew

THE TRAMP.

This is hackneyed subj ect, has been
discussed TO exhaut ton, but 1t is an
evil which can only be exterminated
by radical means. In q spirit OF human
ity, the fear OF doing injustice to some
honest man who has been unfortunate,
people everywhere have been kind
and patient with the tramp. But 1t
has been fully demonstrated that, as
rule, tramps will not work and that
they are the nursery from which the
worst class Of criminals are recruited.
Every gentleman CT Memphis who
walks the street, at night is met at
4 every corner by one Of these able.
bodied vsgabonds, who tel the same
sterectyped it,ry. This nuisance is
exceedingly annoying and embarras-
sing TO man Of benevolent feelings.
He dislikes to turn deaf ear TO dis
tress, and, still unwilling to encourage
vicious idleness, he passes on haunted
by tie fear tiat he has been cruel to
some good man really unfortunate.
Butthe appeals OF these vagrantI have
betone frequent, the character OF tn >
f:amp is 30 we'll understood that the
time has come when the moet charita-
BILE and humane can no longer be
imposed upon. The who.e country
must unite on some plan to break up
vagrancy. Unless there can be CO.
operation the tramps will fl sex to the
States where vagtancy is permitted.
Birmingham, Ala has made a move
in the right direction, AZ will be seen
from the following special dispatch
published in yesterdays APPEAL:
For some tirpe past about 100 tramps have
been loading around Sloss's furnace and |
sleeping in the warmth Of the long battery |
Of the coke oven. The furnace ne,ded |
the tramps. but ey would not work, The
police made n raid on theu4 and succeeded
in capturing twenty -four, and all were land
ed 10 jail. Seven were tried and convicted
out their fines, There is ne doubt o Of liz lie
conviction Of the rest.
Every city, whether large or small,
should adopt the same plan. An hon.
est man had rather work for the meat
and breai he eats than to beg for It.
But the chronic ttamp, devoid. Of
hope, ambition, love or gratitude, and
who has sworn eternal hostility to
labor should be made to choose be-
tween labor and stsrlat on. When all |
cities adopt the methods OF Birming-
ham t1e tramp will shun them with
the same readiness he shuhs labor.
The country successfully deals with |
every other evil aud it can eradicate
the evil OF tramping. Ysgrancy fosters
and excited the criminal propensities,
and every man who follows the life of
q vagrant win ultimately become
criminal. Men are restrained tom
crime not 20 much from fear
the laws as the loss of public re-
peci, TTamping removes this re-

The Interest ON the Debt.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. January 3d.
The last Legislature of Tennessee passed an
act authoriz ng tho State officials to borrow
whatever sum was Necessary to pay thu in
terest upon the funded debt Of the State.
There is an impression prevailing that this
authority has been exercised Such is not
the fact. Every dollar of the interest has
been paid from the treasury, and there is
still balance on hand. There is a grow
ing feeling OF confidence upon the part of
the creditors, as we'll as of investors,
Our funded 3 per cent. bonds on Friday
jumped from 65 to 81 cents in New York,
conclusive evidence that the world regards
the settlement as fixed and final The
American of Sunday takes occasion to advise
very earnestly those creditors who have
failed to fund their bonds to do so. No other
settlement Of Tennessee sadebt will, in lis
Judgment, ever be made or entertained.
Both parties in tho last gubernatoriai
race pledged themselves not to attempt
to interiors with the settlement, and the
public sentiment of the etate Oyerwhelm-
tngly sustains it. Ali discussion even upon
the question has ceased. There is OF q cor
poral's guard who would interfere if they
could, and If there were such, they could
not interfere if they would. The credit of
the State is gradually, but surely, day by
day, growing stronger and better, and Justly

Element must be maintained and its terms

No Strike Among the Collar Men

About month ago the collar max

The immediate cause Of the "walk-

man who was a non-union man. The
report followed said foreman that in
the saddlcry establishment in which
he was employed in st. Louis he re-
duced the mems wages from $3.50 per
day to $3.50. This aroused the union
men who were employed by School
kopf to action, and they struck and
made every lawful effort to prevent
other men from working, but there
has been force of non-union men
constantly at work ever since The
report was circulated this morning
that the union men had been success
ful,in getting the men to walk out, but a
reporter called on Mr.. Schoelkopf, who
said the report had no foundation.
That his men were at work and so was
the foreman, and he expected them to
continue to work. The union men
arc not satisfied and they will contin-
ne to use every persuasive argument
in their power to induce the men to
stop and join tho union. A number
of men who have been employed in
the establishment have quit work, dur
ing the trouble, but Others have taken
