He does not interfere with the boisterous gang
of young men who are sitting on the truck
working the growler and teasing an old-timer
of a tramp who is begging them for tomato
can full of beer.
Here young woman, sitting on the bare
sidewalk with her back against the wall, is fast
asleep with a baby in her lap. The hectic flush
of fever on her cheek aud the conyulsive move
ments of the infant tell tale of incipient dis
ease. Ere the long, sultry Summer nights give
way before the vivifying breath of Autumn
breezes, this young woman will probably have
spent many weeks in the hospital, the little
baby will rest beneath the sod, and both will
have cost the city many dollars. A little more
care now a little more attention to sanitary
rules, little less crowding in the house. and
more food better cooked, might prevent it all /;
but what do these people know about sanitary
science, and who is going to teach them? To
make reform in this matter sewerage would
have to be remodeled and houses altered, and
plumbing systems improved. All, well you
know collins of pine and grave-space in the
pottersfeld are cheaper than that.
Here is man who pays as much for one Of
these tenement rooms as would rent cottage
in the country. After hard days work he
returns to his wretched room to find it filed
with suffering, peevish children, and wife
whose nerves are unstrung and whose temper
is not of the snoothest, while the choking
steam of cooking food adds to the discomfort of
the place. Do you wonder that he soon goes

But morally? Well, i cannot answer that:
there seems to be but little morality either in
house or street.
Here is little yellow haired girl, with a big
pitcher in her arms, going to that beer den on

tions?

KNOX'S LETTER
lie Takes a Trip Among the 0utcastS
Of the Great American Babylon.
NEW YoRK. May 80.

Tonight Cusick and ] are going on one Of
our periodical prowls through some Of the by
ways of New York, and it would please me TO
have the readers of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
accompany Us.
1t has been wisely said that one-half the
world knows not how the other half lives. 1t
might not be pleasant for our half to view the
surroundings and the modes of life of the
poorer half for we prefer to look Gu what is
bright, cheerful, and comely. rather than on
what is dark, cheerless and painful. But
while it would certainly surprise and pain our
half, it would as certainly broaden its knowl-
ege, awaken its sympathies, increase its charity,
and good might come Of it.
Tonight we are going down through part Of
the tenement district on the east side, where
misery and wretchedness is the lot of those
who live there and where poverty and vice go
hand in hand and reign over all.
This is City Hall Park, through whose ave-
nues all day flow streams of people-a scram-
bling, rushing, mpetuous throng, but it is night
now and the park is deserted by almost all ex-
cept the tramp and the homeless waif Look
at the rows Of men seated on these benches,
most of them asleep with their heads bowed
down on their breasts and with nothing expect
ant or suggestive of hope in their attitudes.

THREE Spiders.

Now we cross the Bowery, the most I'M
savory of all the great arteries of the city, and
out of the glare and glitter of its electric lights
we plunge into the semi-darkness Of the side
street that runs down toward the East River
This is the region of the low drinking saloon,
where painted women, barren of heart, and
tough-l0oking men, devoid Of conscience, lie in
wait for victims. The rural youth in search Of
city sights and the jovial sailor ashore are the
flies that these spiders lure into their webs.
This next is typical block. In all the city
there cannot be found people so poor as these
who live here. See the high, dingy houses :;
they swarm with human beings; outside they
are unattractive and dilapidated, and look as
vicious as inanimate objects can look, and in
side they display every degree of
sQUALoR AND FILTH AND POVERTY.
The rooms are SMALL. yet in some of these
houses an average of eight persons live in each
room. Whole families sleep and eat and cook
their food in one little by 10 apartment,
where the light comes dmly in through a
small window opening out into foul-srneling
shaft or well. IN one house that we visit we
The National tribune., 1888-05-31

These men-the driftwood of humanity, the
unsuccessful in the struggle for bread, the un-
fortunate and wounded in the battle of life
have no homes, no shelter, no money TO pay for
even the miserable uncean pallet of the cheap
lodging house, nor yet enough to buy the
privilege of sleeping on wooden bench in
one of the cellars down by the river.
In this park fifty to one hundred men may
be found every night during Summer, sitting,
some asleep, some awake, on the numerous
benches that line the avenues; where they
sleep In the Winter heaven only knows. Ere
the snow falls, for some of these you see here,
this weary waiting, this hopeless effort to get
food and shelter will be over, and, in the sui
cide's grave rest will come to their tired
bodies
In every great city there are annually taken

portals to unmarked graves
HUNDREDS OF FRIENDLEss
and homeless waits, who, tired of the strug-
gle against want and misfortune, prefer the
uncertainty of the future to the certainties-
the gnawing hunger, the racking pain, and the
feyerish restlessness-of the present. To the
Morguel The curtain falls on Iife's romance.
To the Morguei One more weary one at rest;
one more troubled spirit passed ont into the
darkness,
Behind rs, as we leave the park, is News
paper Row-the nerve-eeHter of the continent
into which converge lightning flashes of news
from all the ends of the earth, and out Of which
Tadiates the same news III the columns Of mil
lions Of newspapers. Over there to the right
is the great Brooklyn Bridge outlined by rows
of electric lights against the dark background
of starless night. Under its gloomy arches
are tramps asleep and thieves awake and loi-
teriDg around in search of prey. To the left
on the next street is the somber prison called
the Tombs that looks like gigantic Egyptian
mausoleum.
