NO FEMALE TRAMPS.
The Occupation Entirely Monopollzed by
Men.

The Occupation Entirely Monopollzed by
As the years go by women usurp more
and more the occupations of men. Daily
the ranks of wage earners are swelled
by females, who from necessity or the
desire of widening their sphere of ac-
tivity place their shoulders to the wheel
and labor for their bread.
Yet there still remains one pursuit in
which man holds the whole field. the
occupation of the tramp. So far the
statistics and the observation of those
who are brought in contact with this
class show that there is not one woman.
Why is this?
The conditions of life which drive
men to this calling prevail also with
the gentle sex. They, too, have to face
poverty and the difficulty of finding an
occupation which shall support them.
All of them cannot be wives The cues.

The parks at night are crowded with

tired head has fallen forward on his

Along the Bowery and Park row are
quantities of cheap lodging-houses OF

men. There are no places of the sort
for women. The professional and
chronic station-house ledger is always
a male. The woman ledger is transient.
Who has ever heard of woman who
took to the public highway and went
afoot from place to place, sleeping in
the hedge rows and the barns, working
little and begging much; thieving, va

After careful consideration of the

that she must toll or starve or beg she

The Embodiment of Sound Democracy.


also beg to call your attention to the follow
ing extract contained in the farewell address OF
Cen Jackson as the embodiment of sound
democracy:
There IS too much at stake to allow pride OF
passion to influence your decision Never for
moment believe that the great body Of the
citizens Of any state or states can deliberately
intend to do wrong. They may, under the in
huence of temporary excitement or misguided
opinion, commit mistakes; they may be misled
for time by the suggestions OF self-interest;
but in community so enlightened and patriotic
as the people of the United States argument
will soon make them sensible of their errors:
and when convinced, they will be ready to re.
pair them. If they have no higher or better
motive to govern them they viii at least per
ceive that their own interest requires them to
be just to others as they hope to receive justice
at their hands
But in order TO maintain the union unim
paired it is absolutely necessary that the laws
passed by the constituted authorities should be
faithfully executed in every part of the coun-
try, and that every citizen should at all times
stand ready to put down with the combined
force OF the nation every attempt at unlawful
resistance, under whatever pretext 1t NAV be
made or whatever shape 1t may assume. I'm.
constitutional or oppressive laws may no doubt
be passed by congress, either from erroneous
views or the want Of due consideration. II they
are within reach Of judicial authority the
remedy is easy and peaceful; and il, from the
character Of the law, 1t is an abuse of power
not within. the control of the judiciary, then
free discussion and calm appeals to reason and
to the justice Of the people will not fail to re-
dress the wrong. But until the law shall be
declared void by the courts, or repealed by
congress, no individual or combination Of indi.
viduals can be justified in forcibly resisting its
execution 1t is impossible that any govern.
ment can continue to exist upon any other
principles. 1t would cease to be a government,
and would be unworthy Of the name II il had
not the power to enforce the execution Of its
own laws within its own sphere of action"

His Transfer to Denmark Regarded as Evil
dence His Course Here Was Not Approved.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-ln view of the
statement of Governor Albert g. Porter,
now at Indianapolis. that his return to his
official post of duty as minister to Italy de-
pended upon the locating of an Italian
minister in Washington, thereby re-estab-
fishing diplomatic relations between the
Italian and United States governments, the
following from to-day's Wa ashiHgton Ga
zette will be of interest to Journal readers:
"If the report Is correct that the italian
government intends to send as minister to
Washington it's present minister to Dem
mark, Senor Cataiani, replacing him
with Baron Fava, it would seem to
indicate that Premier Rudini does not
think that Baron Fava earned promotion
by his conduct while in Washington. The
Italian minister to Washington is paid q
salary of $4,000 O year, while the Italian
minister to Denmark receives only the
modest salary of 5000 q year. Taking it
for granted that q minister's salary is some
criterion of the Importance of his mission,
the sending of Baron Fava TO Denmark can
hardly be regarded a promotion. Senor
Catalani, who, it is said, Is coming here as
minister. is very highly spoken of. lie was
formerly attached to the Italian embassy
at Paris, where he distinguished himself
by his tact ana ability"

Farmers Alliance Admitted to Be in League

to control the Farmers Alliance. Alonzo

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Rural readers of
these dispatches will be interested in
learning that the internal revenue authori-
ties here have discovered that butterIne or
oleomargarine is sold IN the leading market
stalls of Washington as pure dairy butter.
and that IL Is served as such at the princi-
pal hotels. and there appears to be no law
to punish the offense. The oleomargarine
Is sold from the original casks. tubs and
firklns, which are properly branded as re-
quired by law, but the firkins, casks or
tubs are never seen except by the dealers;
so oleomargarine is taken from the original
packages and displayed on the counters with
pure butter and where no mention Is made
of oleomargarine by the purchaser none Is
made by the dealer, and thus no misrepre-
sentation is made. although the purch aser
believes he buys pure butter. when he gets
oleomargarine four times out OF live. Con-
gress will be asked to amend the law so as
to require dealers to brand every piece of

Scheme of On English Syndicate to Pool the
Tanners of the United States.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. IA morning paper
says: One of the most gigantic schemes
that has ever been projected in the leather
trade is now being attempted by combi-
nation of English capitalists whose agent
or representative has been for some time
in this country. 1t is o consolidation of
the tanners of the United States into
trust or syndicate with headquarters in
the East and O local office in each
State. The English syndicate has
already been formed and $1,000. 900
of its capital stock has sbeen subscribed
for. The names of it's members have not
yet been made public. but they are stated
to be among the most prominent leather
merchants in that country. The induce
ment which the syndicate holds out TO the
tanners OF this country is an entirely new
process of tanning the leather by means of
liquid that practically eliminates time
from the operation Under the old method
nc takes FROM forty to fifty days to tan q
calfskin. while with the new process it can
be accomplished within ten hours.
