Yesterday morning witnessed a repe-
tition of doings in police court that the
city council should Immediately take
steps to remedy. Day after day a large
number of vags are brought before the
police Judge, and hat official asks them
their names, and then discharges them.
The court is aware that a sentence to
Jail means so much useless expense to
the city, and knows perfectly we'll that
its effect would be of no earthly use as
far as reducing the number who would
appear the following morning is con-
cerned.
If all Of these INDECENT wanderers
were sent up for periods of from ten to
thirty days, it would keep the jail con-
stantly crowded, and it would have a
| tendency to draw tralnps rather than
keep them away, as they have a partlc-
larly good time while locked up here.
What is needed is a good sized rock pile
or "a chain gang. The latter would
probably prove more beneficial. as the
average tramp is decidedly averse to
dragging u heavy iron ball around after
him while improving the public streets,
whereas he does not object in the least
to lying around in the Jail corridors to
eat up the food provided by q DeneVo-
lent city. 1t is imperative that some
such means shall be devised fer lessen
ing the number of tramps who are
bothering the citizens in the suburbs
nearly to death. They are continually
getting holder and more numerous. The
police Judge will gladly do his part if
the council will provide II means of dis
posing of them. AS it is decidedly
cheaper to work them than to feed them
it is hoped that the former plan will be
adopted.

PRESIDENT AND WCE-PnESlDENT
Fl EHT

INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 13.-The people of
indianapolis had several opportunities
today to get good look at the Republican
presidential ticket, as General Harrison
and Mr.. Morton perambulated the city.
The president elect was at his desk as
early as usual this morning and until
after 10 o'clock he was engaged with Pr-
vate Secretary Halford in reading and die
meanwhile, was occupied receiving gentle
men who called specially TO pay their re-
spects to him,
About half past 10, General Harrison in
vited his colleague to take a walk with
him. They crossed over from
Delaware to Meridian street
which is regarded as the finest
residence street in the city, and walked
nOrthward, away from the business section
of the city. Then they crossed the street
and walked toward the city, coming almost
to business limits and arriving home at
lunch time, having covered fully three
miles.
In the afternoon there were many callers
at the Harrison residence; some few came
to talk politics with the general and pay
their respects TO his guests but great ma
jority of calls were of a purely social
character
Mr. Morton this morning sent word to
the board of trade committee that waited
upon him last night informing the COM
mittee that Mrs. Morton and himself cor
daily accepted the proffered tender of a
public reception at the hands of
the citizens of Indianapolis, regard
less of politics. He also informed
the committee that he had invited General
and Mrs. Harrison, Mr.. and Mrs. L. r. Nc
kee and Secretary Halford and wife to
receive with himself and Mrs. Morton. As
soon as Mayor Denny received this infor-
nation he called the committee together
TO complete arrangements as to the time
and place for holding the reception. They
at once called at the rooms of Governor
Gray TO receive his reply to their request
made the night previous for the use of the
governors elegant reception rooms in the
main floor of the capitol. To their sur
prise the committee were informed by Mr..
Pierre Gray, the son and private secretary
of the governor, that the latter had
departed early in the morning
for Logansport without having left
any instructions touching the use of the
rooms for the purpose of holding such a
reception. Mr.. Pierre Gray would not as
sumo authority in the premises and the
committee left the capitol in a very ruffied
frame of mind.
Mayor Denny is particularly outspoken
in the matter, which is the subject of gene
eral comment about the hotels tonight As
soon as the committee discovered dispo-
sition to withhold the use of the
capitol they secured Tomiiusou's hall, the
property of the city, and the reception
will take place there from to 10 p M,
Friday night.
MIR. Morton made a remark today to an
old friend who called that NAV, or may
not have little political significance,
when he said: Il can tell you Que thing,

NORTHWEST FLOUR OUTPUT.

MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Dec 13-The
Northwestern Miller says:
''As everybody was prepared to expect,
the -four output last week dropped off
heavily and was the lightest for very
long while. There were only IS, 900 barrels
made, averaging 1905 barrels daily,
against $500 barrels the previous week,
and $50, 500 barrels for the corresponding
time in 1887. More mills are running
this week, but still the production
100000 barrels for the six days
There were nine mills in opera
tion yeaterday, which were getting out
about IA 600 barrels per day Anchor ice,
however, began to bother last night, and
before morning nearly every mill in opera
ton was choked off. The difficulty was
partially overcome later, and the weather
having moderated, may not cause serious
obstruction very long Nevertheless, cold
weather is long past due and hard freeze
up would doubtless cut off the greater part
of the water supply. One mill is using
steam power at present to enable it to run
up to full capacity while in OPP
Grafton. The 10 cents advance in freight
rates on -four goes into effect next Mon
day, the 500 line making an all-raii rate of
35c Minneapolis to New York The flour
area wanting small lots more than in large
orders. Demands for small lots are coming
in from dealers that usually order by the
several car loads, showing that stocks are
less plentiful in the interior Of the coun-
try and giving euidence that dealers are
waiting for the over production of flour to
have its effect on prices. At such points
New York, Boston, Baltimore and Phila-
delphia supplies are apparently very
full. New England is beginning
to buy more. and Some New
York towns are buying moderately
Foreigners also show little more DISPOSE
ton To take hold, though there is not yet
much real Improvement. One sale of fifty
cars of patent was made this week for
Leith at what was claimed a fairly salts
factory quotation. The direct exports for
the week were Il, go barrels against $3.50
for the previous week and. Bakers, Lon
don, c. i. f.. are quoted at 2Ss Sd to 2Ss Sd

There were $50, go bushels of wheat
received for the week ending December 81.

SOUTHERN IMMIGRATION CONVEN-
TON

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec. 13.-The south
ern interstate immigration convention re-
assembled this morning il the hall of the
house OF representatives of the state cap
itol. A little more than a quarter of a
century ago ip the same hall the southern
confederacv was organized Today repre-
seniatives of every southern state, includ-
ing new Mexico and Arizona, adopted
what they believe to be a practical plan
for inducing northern people to come and
make themselves welcome In all parts OF
the south. Governor Seay ad-
dressed the convention upon the
advantages at the south. Mr.
Chiffon, of Texas, then presented the re-
port of the committee selected for the pur-
pose of drafting a plan of organization
looking toward the formation of a perma-
nent southern interstate immigration
bureau for the purpose of securing added
population and capital for the southern
states and territories. Tie report
recommends that there be selected an
executive committee TO consist of MEM
Der from each state and territory; that the
committee shall select general manager
and that the committee and general
manager shall Constitute the southern
interstate immigration bureau. Colonel
+. Is. Chiffon of Texas, was chosen general
manager of the bureau.
The following was adopted
Whereas, 1t is believed by many citizens
of the United States that the southern
states do not desire to have immigration
from northern, New England and north
western states and territories, therefore 6e
it
Resolved, BY this southern interstate
immigration convention assembled this
day in the city OF Montgomery, Ala, COM
posed of officers and prominent citizens of
the several southern states and territories,
that we extend to all law abiding citi
zenS of every religious faith and
political party, an earnest and
hearty invitation to make their home in
one of these states and territories here
represented in this convention.
Resolved. That the south needs immi-
grafton and the kind of immigration
ergetlc; men who are capable of producing
in addition to their immediate
necessities and who will add to
the intrinsic value of her lands
and other property by cultiVating
and improving them; that the south wants
more merchants, more laborers and men
who have energy and enterprise to utilize
and develop her wonderful and natural
resources, who will build and maintain
factories and mills, manufacture and
handle her enormous and diversified pro-
ducts, build railroads, improve her inn
mense water power aud develop her min
eral resources.
A telegram from Kansas City was read,
to the effect that if the convention con-
cluded to hold southern exposition in
any northern city Kansas City had some
inducements 10 offer.
