How the Migrants OF . Great City spend
Their Time.
vi G..r

New YORK sum-
The framps begin 70 get back to winter
quarters towards the close of the political
campaign. The last of them are in by
election day. During presidential CAM
paigns there is a good deal of money IN
carrying torches and banners In the great
paFades, and the tramps make IL point TO
get Is earlier in those years. They get
from 81 cents 10 So a night for this work,
and have job every other night.
From election day until well in Decem-

rather moderate, the parks are still habit
able. and the results OF his election day
job. properly economical, insure him
against going stark hungry, even when his
supplies from ordinary sources run short.
Likewise they insure him his booze"
What more pleasure could tramp want2
Nothing 90 do, nothing TO think about,
enough TO eat and to drink-a lotus eater
could have no more.
As the season advances the tramp's life
becomes less pleasant. The cold makes it
necessary for him 20 remain under shelter
much Of the time, and the exhausted state
OF his exebequer compels him to get out
and hustle for at least q part of each day.
He becomes at this time distinctly gre
garious beast, and herds with his kind in
all sorts Of dens. A cooperative good fell
lowship quickly establishes itself, by which
such things as "booze" are procured and
shared In common by band of from four
or five 10 q dozen. In underground dens
where vile decoctions, in which alcohol is
the least poisonous substance, are sold, the
tramps gather at night and guzzle the
scanty portions that their money will buy.
When cold OF daylight drives them out
again they generally manage 10 get a
morning bracer, by hook or by crook. at
some place where such patronage is es-
pecially catered to. and pick up 9 bit 10 eat
from garbage boxes or at some kindly back
door. From one saloon to another they
drift about during the day and in the even
ing get together again in their dens. 1t
isn't particularly enjoyable life even for
tramps, and with the first zephyrs OF
spring the great majority of them are off
for the country again. with it's open air
and free life, taking with them usually a
large contingent of half-grown boys or
broken-down older unfortuaates who have
fancy for seeing life by "going on the
road" Hard as il is and debasing as are
al its surroundings, there must be some
attraction about the lie of = tramp, for if
you ask any of the city hall gamins what
they expect 70 do when they grow up the
chances arc even that the answer viii

Paganini had his eccentricities. He was
suriy when the glow OF composition was
uuon him. and worked with his coat and
vest off. the slipper of his right foot kicked
aside, and his left suspender dangling
down his back. This pleasing anecdote is
told OF him;
One day, when at Florence, he jumped
into a cab and gave orders TO be driven 10
the theater. The distance was not great.
but he was late aud an enthusiastic audi

Ii has been said that the two most un-
natural sights in this world are a manly
woman and womanly man. That such
people exist and thrive admits of no
question. but those who admire gentleness
in women and manIiness in men are al
ways shocked at the entire absence OF these
qualities Those who advocate what are
termed the rights Of women make no note
of that which may be lost il women enter
the political arena on the same plane as
men. The feminine graces which are the
charm OF the opposite sex we cannot afford
20 sacrifice. and when women assume those
rights" OF which there Is so much talk.
there must be violent departure from the
sphere wherein woman has her greatest at
traction.

The Bland silver bill made it obligatory

THE Bland silver bill made 1t obligatory
on the secretary of the treasury to coin
certain quantity of silver monthly. Sec
rotary Window sees fit to defy this law
and practically suspends the coinage of
silver until December when he doubtless
hopes that congress will allow him to sus-
pend it infinitly. Mr.. Window does
this in open defiance also of the re-
publican platform which SAID 1.-THE repub-
lican party is in favor of the use of both
gold and silver as money and condemns
the policy of the democratic administra-
ton IN its efforts to demonitize silver"
Before the administration had been three
months in power it repudiates the solemn
pledge which was made to secure the
ELECTORAL votes Of California, Nevada and
Colorado as we'll as to aid the "grand old
party" in Montana and Idaho. We hope

" denounce this fragrant violation of the
public faith; this audacious assumption
that the treasury can nnllify an act of

The measley thing known as Rolfe's Or

The measley thing known as Rolfe's Or
gan publishes the following: supper
Sand Coulee, it is reported, had no poll
and no vote because they could not find a
man who knew enough to act as clerk.
That must be democratic stronghold,
sure" This is libel upon the intelli-
gence of the people of Cascade county
that must not go unquestioned. No cleo
ton was held at Upper Sand Coulee be-
cause the voters were busy and did not
take sufficient interest to have the polls
opened. For the same reason no polls
were opened at Soldier creek or Hardy
precincts. If there is citizen Of Upper
Sand Coulee that has not more intelligence
and common sense than any one of the
bohemian gang Rolfe has about him, we
would like to see the color of his hair.
