TRAMPS IN MAINE.
A Journal Correspondent Thinks there
Should be some Legislation Regard
ing Them.

Editor of the Journal.
Now that cold weather is approaching
tramps are beginning TO make their appear
ance III increasing numbers. Within the
past few days number of these fellows
have made their appearance in this city and
begged food from door to door. The larger
part of them are ragged looking fellows, and
evidently able to work and earn an honest
living were they so disposed. Some of them
many of them-are well clothed. and are
undoubtedly members of the professional
tramp fraternity. Such fellows are always
menace to the community. idle hands
even if they do no mischief themselves are
very apt to influence others to do so. Vaga-
bondage when followed needlcssly requires,
first of all that a person should put aside
all feelings of pride and the manly satsfac-
ton that comes to every working member of
a community. Those who through misfor-
tune, are unable to maintain themselves,
have places provided for them where they
can be cared for, and with such the charity
of the community should deal generously. But
the tramps has no excuse for his restless life.
The very fact that he is able
to induce the hardships of such a life at all
shows that he is able to earn an honest and
respectable livelihood were he so disposed.

were committed by them. The county jails

ed to have been a popular resort for the
fraternity and numbt RS of it came here to
hibernate through the winter months from
number of States. The lines of the rail
ways were swarming with them. Every
night or two the police would take one OF
more from the Pullman train where. snugly
slowed away in the framework beneath some
car, they were enjoying the evidently exhil-
Grating sport of stolen ride. So great did
this nuisance become that many articles were
written to the various papers in the State
advocating additional legislation on this mat
ter, and, without doubt. the next legislature
will be asked to take some action on the
matter. The taxpayers of the State have
burdens enough already without run
ming winter hotels for the rowing
fraternity of other States. There
should be some place in whice to put such
fellows to work. There seems to be no just
reason why the laboring people of Maine
should be obliged to support, in families,
army of able bodied beats from whose ranks
the criminal world is constantly receiving
recruits. The law upon this matter should
be stringent. Such fellows shoul1 never
be permitted to go at large constant terror
to unprotected women and menace to the
safety of the community. Other States
have put upon their statute books laws sutii-
ciently comprehensive and forcible to put
stop to this nuisance. Now let the State of
Maine, which has been the land of refuge
for the fleeing tramps of those States, do
likewise, and it will accomplish a most need
ed reform-one which is demanded and
which will be appreciated by the respectable
citizens of the State. r. NJ. ID.

Up in the State library. Mr.. Hobbs. the
librarian, is busily engaged in arranging the
various State exchanges as they arrive. This
is the season when the documents from other
States come in quite rapidly. As might be
expected, the live, wide-awake States of the
west and middle sections of the country are
eager to make exchange, but many of the
Southern States are very backward and have
to be repeatedly written. Especially is this
true of Alabama and Missouri.
Yesterday was busy day in the State
Board of Health department. To make a

his experienced clerks. To make
one of these analyses chemists regularly
charge, about $3.50. A new invoice of the
neat and convenient boxes for con-
tanning water sample bottles have
just been received from Mr.. Elisha
Atkins of this city. They are models of con-
venience. The inside is padded with cor

placed therein, remain firm. no cover being
Several complains come from
local boards of health to the effect that
many persons fail to understand the condi-
lions under which they may obtain an anal
fsis of sample of water. They seem TO
hink that all is required is simply to fur
lish water and trust in Providence or the To-
al boards of health to pay e1pressage.
People who desire this analysis, ought as
hey are required, to pay the express on the
sample.
