Many people get into slovenly way of
abbre Waiting all the words possible. Perhaps
they do not write very plainly at best. When
every other word is cut short, and an initial
or a couple of letters and straight line made
to indicate it, the result is embarrassing to
the person whose task it is to read it, This
is especially annoying to the newspaper man.

Such being the case is it not possible and
even probable that a competition may in
time grow up among the sherifs for this
tramp business" since it would add so ma
terislly to their incomes? Thus inducements
might eventually be held out to influence the
kingly tramp to come again to the same Jail
when the chilling frosts of winter drove him
TO seek comfortable board and lodgings at
the county's expense. Thus one sheriff
might agree to keep him in tobacco, another
in reading matter, another in playing cards.

.break up a colf' with the average tramp.

Why should couaty sherifs be in any
way dependent upon fees for their remunera-
tom why not give them a salary The
payment of so much week per capita for
the board of prisoners opens door for
profit making at the expense of the tax-pay-
ers. II sheriff finds that by close figuring
he can boa ii his prisoners at less rate than
is allowed him for the purpose, and yet give
them an abundance of plain nutritious food,
there seems nothing to prevent his consider
ing the residue as his own payment for sue
cessful stew srdship.

should not extend TO those made desolate By

Whatever law bearing upon this subject
may be passed, it will undoubtedly be so
framed as to prevent sherifs from realizing
any peeuniary advantage from an increase
in the number of prisoners under their

1t is evident that stringent measures will
be taken in the future TO abate the tramp
nuisance that has become uncomfortable The
tax payers have supported large army of
these fellows just about as long they will.
A law will undoubtedly be passed this winter
to in part, if not wholly relieve the public of
this burden. The first step, however, will be
to make Jail life a little less attractive.

Why should the prisoners at the Jail be
sele tied for objects of charity rather than
the inmates of the aims house, To our
mind there is no call for surplus philanthro-
py in the former place. but the latter institu-
ton is certainly worthy of it. The inmates
Of the county Jail are almost without excep-
ton capable of earning an honest living for
themselves If they were so disposed. But
they are not. Instead they voluntarily
choose to be criminals and Migrants. Many
of them deliberately plan To pass their win
ters in the comfortable quarters of some
county jail. 1t is lazy life
and appears to just suit them. There they
are sure of warm bed, an abundance OF
wholesome food. plenty of reading and free
dom from the toll that is the price of an hon
est mans enjoyment of similar comforts.
The inmates of the Aims House are not
there because hey have transgressed the
law. 1t is no fault of theirs that has made
them dependent upon the public bounty 1t
is no reflection upon them, that they have
been unable to successfully buffet the hard
ships and misfortunes of life, or that old
age or broken health have forced them to re-
tire from an unequal conflict. There may
he exceptions but a ;arefu inspection of

ChORA a SnnAW Wife.

FARRAGUT, Ia, June CSC. McIn-
tosh, living between here and Riverton,
is furnishing the community gossip Of q
sensational order. Mcintosh is a farmer
of fair means, living with his second
wife, and is the father Of a grown UP
family. About five years ago his oldes,
son wandered away from home. The
fsther recently learned OF his boys
whereabouts in Arkansas, and after some
correspondence the son agreed to return
provided the father would send him the
necessary funds to defrsy the expenses
for himeelf and wife. This was the first
intimation that the father had regarding
his sons marriage. So the necessary
amount WIGS sent and the wandering pill
grims started for Riverton. The couple
after landing there at once made for the
old farm. The fathers wrath has been
unbounded since their arrival, from the
fact tina: his sons wife is a thoroughbred
Indian squaw. He refuses TO stay at
home and says his family has been dis
graced by the union.

WAsHINGToN, June 2S.--Geo. b
Ormsby, late an ensign in the navy, has
brought suit in The supreme court Of the
district against Secretary of the Navy
Tracy for 800, COO damages, for trcspass
incident to his recent Imprisonment at
Mare island, his trial by court martial,
and his dismissal from the service.
Ormsby alleges that there were not suffi,
cient grounds for his arrest, no authority
Tor his long Imprisonment, that he was
not furnished with copies Of the charges
and specifications against him, and that
in various ways the defendant violated
the revised statutes in conducting his
case.
Ormsby alleges that the orders said 10
have been ~disobeyed by him were illegal
and oppressive to the last degree. The
papers in the suit were served on Secre-
tary Tracy yesterday afternoon. The
secretary turned the bill over to the judge

Raised a Fine Point.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-Some time
ago he treasury department was in,
formed that it was desired to take &
number of Chinese laborers to the Yves
Indies and application was made fol
permission TO take them through United
States territory in transit, provided bond
was given that none Of them would re-
main in this country. The matter was
referred to the solicitor OF the treasury
and he gave an opinion that there was
nothing in the law to prohibit the land
ing of Chinese for the mere purpose Of
passing through the country.
Secretary Window, however, was not
prepared to change existing regulations to
this extent and directed a rejection Of the
application until the question could be
considered more thoroughly. No further
action on the subject is al all likely,
however, as il is understood that arrange
ments have been since made with Can
adam transportation companies by which
Chinese Will be taken across the CONT
nent without the necessity Of entering

Nichols proclamation against prize
fighting in Louisiana will not avail to
stop the Sullivan. Kilrain fight. When a
correspondent spoke to John l.. Sullivan

was:
Il have nothing to do with the fighting
grounds, as KilraIn won the choice and
must choose the grounds. hs far as !
am concerned, the proclamation will not
interfere with the fight nor the results.
/ have worked hard to prepare myself
for this fight, and will either whip Kill
rain or he must whip me-"
Sullivan and his party leave Monday
for the south. When Kilrain was shown
q copy Of the dispatch containing the
proclamation, he replied that it would
not have the slis htest effect on the mill,
as II can pe held in three other states and
YET be within the required limit of 200
miles from New Orleans. His agents,
who are now travelling near New Orleans
in search Of a battle ground, will take
good care that the laws Of Louisiana
shall not be violated.
