Evening capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1888-1893, 1891-05-19


All are ill-clad, seem to have no idea
Of decency, and have become so
turbulent that an indignant public
are up In arms. The government
provides no sleeping places for them,
and they have been quarteling in
the city prison and on the floors Of
the custom house aud Jail. The
men and women lie scattered about
the floors at night like pigs. The
women, like the men, drink. chew,
smoke, swear and play cards. Dur
ing the day they swarm about the
sidewalks and corridors of the gov
ernment buildings, besmearin g
everything with tobacco juice. If a
lady enters the postofiice she is sur
rounded by the women, who ex
anime her clothing, handling it with
their filthy fingers, asking insolent
questions and often becoming so
bold that ladies have to appeal
loudly for aid. 1t is no uncommon
thing TO see a score of men asleep
on the sidewalk in the middle of the
day. Boarding houses will not have
them because of their filthy ways
They never bathe, and their hair
does not know what a comb is.
Many of the women are young and
they behave In most indecent man
ner. Most of them are barefooted
They wear calico dresses and sun
bonnets. They loaf around saloons,
block the pavemen ents, and have be-
come 30 outrageous in their conduct
that protest will be sent to Wash
ington.
