The passage OF judge Balls bill pro-
lviding for the employment of tramps
yesterday by tho Senate is long step
in the right direction, and the unani-
nous vote it got In that body, ishighly
complimentary to the Judge. He is
the first city official that has ever taken
the trouble TO step aside from the usual
routine of the duties of his Office to
interest himself in a matter that deep
| ly concerns our citizens, and yet had
no special claim upon him, beyond the
desire to benefit the public. The bill
provides that when able bodied tramps
and even others, when they are con-
victed before the Municipal Court and
are sentenced to jail for a number of
days, shall be put to work by the
sheriff at breaking stone in the Jail
yard.
The stone Is to be furnished in bulk
by the Levy Court and when ii is bro
ken into small pieces the usualregula-
ton size for turnpiking roads, tho bro
ken stone is to be hauled away and
used for macadamizing the public
roads in the county.
Judge Ball and others with him feel
certain that this Will largely reduce
the crime record of the city, as rather
than go to jai. and be put to hard labor
they will give the city wide berth.
Tramps and other criminals who refuse
to labor are to be put into solitary
confinement and fed Gil bread and
water until they arc willing T. labor.
The provisions OF the bill apply to
those convicted of drunkenness, disor
derby conduct and assaults and bat
teries as well us tramps. Nodoubt the
bill will pass the House and we shall
soon havea practical solution Of the
vexed question: what to do witt
tramps.'
Tramps have been treated in almos
every conceivable manner in our cit,
, but only to increase the nuisance. Ii
, former years they were fed in white
, from an improvised winter soup de

tramps from many miles around K

The concert given by the Whining
ton Wheel Club, In the Opera House at
New Castle, last Saturday evening, was
wen attended by those who were de-
sirous to contribute to the fund raised
TO improve the road between this city
and that place. The First Regiment
Band and a number OF our citizens
were enabled to be present through
the agency OF the steamer Christina,
and they contributed largely to
render the concert a success. Misc
Virginia Conner, by her song, 'srhe
Light of My Life,n added to her
reputation as a cantatrice, while w.
r. Walters and Miss Kate Bisselle In
rendering the Pirates of Penzance,'
added to the laurels heretofore won,
all performed their respective parts
admirably, and were greeted with en-
cores OF applause. A snug sum was
realized for the ''road fund.- and 1t is
hoped TINT the proposed improvement
may be carried to a successful com
pletlon.

REPRESENTATIVE Goekrell, one of the
two Farmer Alliance members of the
Illinois Legislature who voted for Gen.
eEal John NJ. Palmer for United States
Senator from Illinois, has Deen greatly
iIenized by the Democracy all over tho
country, and especially by the Democ-
racy OF Illinois for his action. He was
Present on Friday night last at jolli-
fieation meeting Of tho Democrats OF
Chicago, and OF course was selected as
one of the speakers. He must have
thrown wet blanket over the meeting
when he said: ION behalf Of 1900, 600
farmers, wish to warn you that you
cannot nuke Grover Cleveland the
next President OF the United States. -
The Democrats have been building high
( on carrying Illinois by a combination
with the farmer element OF that State,
but the voice of Mr.. Cockrell must dis
pei that ilattering illusion. There is
mo likelihood whatever that the Demo
ciats will be able to carry Illinois foi
