the death-bed of Amanda Deshazo,
colored, at Nevada.
The woman was shot by her husband, Ike De-
shazo, and had fingered several days in great
agony. When she found that she must die she
expressed desire to see her husband. He was
taken to the room where she lay, the same in
which he fired the fatal shot. Deshazo threw
himself upon the bed weeping. and begged his
wife to say that he had not killed her intention
ally. MY poor. dear wife, you know that did
not intend to kill you" he moaned over and
over again, but the dying woman gave no reply,
simply turning her head away when Deshazo
tried to kiss her.

The TRAMP NUISANCE.

To illustrate the causes that lead
to the multiplying of tramps, and to
point out the means by which this
evil can be removed, is the object of
this article.
The tramp is an animal who will
not work, whose digestive organs
are unimpaired, whose gall is unlim-
tied, who is a non.producer or worse,
and therefore a curse to society. "A
rowing disposition, a sluggish tenn
permanent unbridled by any principle
to check the evil propensities of hui
man nature, are characteristic eff the
American tramp.
We say American tramp, for, al
though the European continent is
overloaded with pauperism, yet the
tramp is indigenous to this.
The great, generous American
heart is imposed upon by set of
despicable blackguards, too lazy to
work and too worthless to become
anything else than loafers, beggars,
sneak thieves and criminals, the de-
grees into which the tramp natur-
ally falls.
Americas big-hearted generosity
is one of the principal causes of the
tramp nuisance. Another cause is
found in the scenic glory of our con-
tinent Rolling prairies, lofty
heights, waving forests and glittering
streams have a fascination for the
ignorant IS well as the educated, and

are dominated by the peoples un-
scrupulous foe?
The people have complained, and
their complaints have been met by
sneers; they have murmured, and
their murmurs have encountered de-
rision.
We are now firmly convinced that
further submission to these griev-
ances is simply to bare our backs to
the lash of insatiate greed. Yes, it
would be to pursue a course unworthy
of Americans and unworthy of the
manhood which we boast.
There are at this time, in the state
of Colorado, upwards of forty non
partisan silver clubs, and the number
is daily increasing. They have an
aggregate membership of over 90
900 voters. Each member, upon
joining, pledges himself in writing
that until this question shall be
settled, and silver restored to its

SILVER LEAGUE ADDRESS.

The Colorado silver league has is
sued an address to the voters on the
silver question of which the follow
ing are extracts:
Year after year we have gone reg
uIarly to the polls and persistently
fought each other, while working for
the supremacy of one or the other oil
two great political parties instead of
standing shoulder to shoulder to meet
and resist the attacks of one common
enemy. Those parties, as they exist
at present, deem the spoils of office
of paramount Importance to the well
fare of the people. They are main
tanned chiefly for the benefit of self
seeking politicians, whose most lofty
ambition is paltry office. To attain
that end they do not hesitate to per
sistently betray the interests of the
people, whose aid they solicit, into
the hands of the money power. They
are partisans for revenue only. AT
the bidding of this same money
power they have placed the general
government on level with the stock
broker; they have rendered thou
sands OF families homeless; they
have changed the toiling debtor into
cringing mendicant, and from the
ranks of honest labor they have re-
cruited an army of tramps.
If traveller was ever robbed on
the highway, then the silver miners
of our country-loyal, patriotic citi'
zens-are now being robbed by the
general government at the rate OF
$50, 100000 a year. If, then, the sill
yer miners have just cause for COM
plant, what shall we say of the
cotton growers of the south, who lose
more than four times that amount
annually; or of the wheat growers OF
the north and west, who year after year
have filched from their earnings more
than five times the annual loss of the
silver miners? Figures grow Devil
dering. But if the miners, planters
and farmers have suffered loss that
the human mind cannot comprehend,
what shall we say of the 100000 of
idle laborers? Not less than twenty
four millions a week is the loss of
the wage earners, the producers OF
wealth.
In the face of these exaspeIating
outrages, what use have We for polit'
ical partios-so long as those parties

this is an overwhelming temptation
to the denizen of our smoky cities.
Depending upon Americas hospi-
tahty and American railroad COM
panies' open thoroughfares, the tempt
ed one starts out without a cent in
his pocket, but with will enough to
beg, will enough to ride bumpers and
brake beams, but with no will to
work. One successful experiment
calls for another, one successful trip
calls for an extended tour, and one
tramp, seeing another so successful,
determines to become a professional.
Among the many reasons why tramp
ing is unjustifiable in the United
States we find the following:
We have millions of acres of un-
cultivated land crying for laborers,
but no the hoe and rake, the pick
and shovel, the first tools some of
our greatest men ever handled, that
laid the foundations of the fortunes
of some of our wealthiest families
are too clumsy and degraded to be
handled by our rising generation,
the result of false education.
Tramping in America is unjustifia-
BILE, because a steady industrious
man can always find employment.
The channels of trade are never
closed to the man willing to work in
our country, as they are in the old,
nor has he to work for a miserable
pittance. But what can be expected
of any one who will drink and gam
BILE, and then curses tho country De-
cause he "goes broke" Such a man
is best fitted for a tramp, and he finds
his own level when he unites with
the begging autocrats of modern
times.
AS to the cure of this evil we have
a few remedies to propose.
Let individuals and corpora
tons unite to enforce the laws.
2-Teach men that the dollar is
valuable, but nobility of character is
more so.
3-Show less mercy to tramps and
criminals, than you do to industri-
GUS mechanics.
spread the gospel of temper
ance and teach the people the high
est aim of life is to better the condi-
ton of humanity.
5-Compel the railroad compan-
les to enclose their right of ways,
and make trepassing or walking on
it or riding bumpers and brake
beams, crime.
.6-Finally teach men to be men.

on his back.

RALAKAUA'S ESTATE.
The Land Sale Confirmed by
Chief Justice Judd.

In the Supreme Court yesterday
Chief Justice Judd heard the petit
ton Of DR.. q. Trousseau for the con-
firmation Of the sale Of real estate
belonging to estate Of His Late
Majesty. The sale took place last
Saturday at the auction ROOMS Of
Jas. f. Morgan.
Mr.. F. NJ Hatch as attorney for
the administrator. DR.. Ct. Trousseau,
read the returns of the sale and also
the petition for confirmation OF the
same.
Hon. Cecil Browns sworn atldaYIts
stated that the sale Of the estate was
largely attended and fairly con
Quoted. He thought that the prices
realized were proportionate to the
value of the land.
DR.. Trousseau said that he consld-
cred lot No. 8 in the advertised list
was sold for too low figure. The
lot mentioned is situated at Aiea,
Eva. and was sold to John Bowler
for $500 The house on the land IS
an old one, and was formerly Occu-
pied by DR.. McGreW. The land
comprises about D acres and was
bought by His Late Majesty for
$500. The King had an artesian
we'll bored that materially enhanced
the value of the property. The adj
ministrator thought that he could
rent the we'll alone for $500 year.
He also stated that the property
mentioned was the only piece in the
whole list that did not sell for good
price.
After hearing the remarks Of wit
nesses. Chief Justice Judd confirmed
the sale with the exception of lot No.
9 on the advertised list. He ordered
that the property be put up at AUG
ton again placing the upset price at
$500. IL the price is not raised, the
sale to Bowler will be confirmed.

His rntentions misunderstood.

There IS q certain small boy living IN
the vicinity of the armory who has con-
Guided that the finding of a pocketbook
IS q misfortune. He picked up one the
other day on the street containing about
ten dollars. Being on his way to the
bakers he generously paid a score of
Sl.2j that was hung up" there against
the family, and then meandered down
town to invest another dollar IN Buff
falo Bill gun and ammunition. But
when he reached home maternal per-
suasion so quickened his conscience that
. he again started out in q sorrowful quest
for the. owner Of the money, who was
soon discovered.
And it is further alleged that this
owner would not abate anything from
d. the full amount lost and that the man
who sold the little fellow the gun refused
to take it back after all the circum-
stances had been explained, so that even
to this day the mention of that pocket
book causes a shadow to creep over the
countenance of that boy.-Springheld
