A tax payer complains In the

are seven tramps in the county jail
at Andrew Giving life Of ease
and comfort at the expense Of the
tax payers Of the county" He
says "the taxpayer has to work
through the heat Of summer and
the frost Of winter for the bard
earnings that are worse than
squaudcred in housing and feeding
these worthless, lazy and improyi-
dent creatures" and be says "the
officers who sent them to jail are
much to blame" There is some
Justice in the complaints. The
tramp nuisance in many places is
encouraged. Police officers get fees
for arresting them. Justices gel
fees for committing them. Jailers
get fees for care and board of them.
Even impecunious jurors and wit
nesses are sometimes interested in
the tramp trade. The tramp finds
them all congeuial, and feels that
he is looked up to as a dispenser of
perquisites at the same time he is
conractiug for comfortable quarters
for himself. One Of the above
mentioned seven was sentenced for
ten days only and then plead that
il might be made thirty days, How
is the tramp on whom we expend
harsh epithets more to be despised
than some Of the officers? What
makes the tramp? How is il that
such spiritless creatures are multi
plying? How is it that men get
into official positions who have no
more honor than to coddle with
them for fees? There is something
behind it all that should be studied.
It is in their bringing up. The
parents are at fault. The same sort
Of rearing and education that makes
the tramp makes the dishonorable
officer. They are fed on the same
milk and it only depends on a turn

Burial of suicides at Crossroad,

Burial of suicides at Crossroads.
It has been suggested that suicides
were buried at crossroads because that
was the place where a cross or crucihN
usually stood and only second in sane
tity to churchyard. and that the
driving of stake through the body
was not at first intended as an insult
but to keep the ghost Of the suicide
from walking on the earth again.
These plausible theories have gained
many advocates. but it is more likely
that burial at crossroads was intended
as mark of indignity The temples,
or rather affairs, of the heather leu
tens were mostly ri the junction Of
crossroads. The place of execution
was there, criminals being sacrificed
to the gods, and heuce suicides were
buried at the crossroads to give as
strong an impression as possible Of a
heather burial Probably, too, the
publicity of such a SPOT, which insured
the fact that a great number OF people
would become directly aware Of the
degrading consequences of Che crime,
had a good deal To do with its selec-
ton Br00GiE4 Eug'c.

STARTLING INCREASE!
Insanity Last Year.

The increase of insanity last year over the
preceding year was startling! Think of it,
persons suffering from nervous troubles, such
as sick and nervous headache, nervousness,
commissions, neuralgia, apoplexy, dyspepsia,
sleeplessness, paralysis, nervous prostraticn,
epilepsy, etc. The outlook would certainly
be discouraging for you were there no means
of escape. Any of the above difficulties,
and many more, are advance symptoms of
insanity or some other equally deplorable
dition ending in suicide or premature death.
Dr. Franklin Miles, the noted specialist,
has devoted over 20 years to the investiga-
ton of nervous affections, and in the result
of his iabors lies the only hope of those aihict-
cd with the troubles named. His Restora-
tive Nervine is a positive means of relief.
If you have any nervous affection attend to
it at once. Do not wait till your intellect is
shattered or the frenzy Of suicide overcomes
you. Delay is dangerous.

having demonstrated the fact that sena-
tn;iil (':is courtesy as an elemental
principe oi obstruction is more potent
than n clear majority aus a tactnr III iegis
l,tinn, they are now intent upon forcing
"a compromise on silver legislation. The
Sherman bill, Which has threatened such
disaster as to make special session ot
Congress to repeal it an urgent necessity.
ir. IN the presidential standpoint, is a
iair specimen ola compromise measure.
1t served its purpose OF preventing some
thing infinitely worse. In the present
case the minority makes gcnero Is offer
to the majority, that in consideration
OF certain advantages given the silver
interests in the measure, they will per-
NIT the Sherman purchasing act to be
repealed four years hence. Meantime the
government must continue to buy silver
which it does not want in reduced quaint
tity-about 1000. 900 ounces per month
instead OF 4, sol, OOO-and retire all forms
of money except silver for amounts less
than $1,000. This clause will, it is
thought compel the absorption of vast
amounts of silver into the active cur
rency of the country, which will be suffi-
cient to compel the coinage of all the
silver purchased. An acknowledged
evidence of the weakness OF the silver
cause is manifest in another feature of
the proposed compromise and that is
provision for issuing bonds to be sold
for gold in sufficient sums to maintain
what they are pleased to call parity
between the two metals, but what is III
reality gold standard. Ifsilver be OF
equal value with gold as money when
coined by the authority Of the United

certainly would not be any necessity for
bolstering it up by an artihcially con.

If SILVER would not circulate on
parity with gold prior to 1873, when
the difference in intrinsic value between
the two metals was only three per cent Z.
in favor of silver, how can the silver ad
vocates believe that gold can be made to
circulate with silver when there is q
margin of forty per ce 1t. in favor of gold:
Prior to 1873 only 100000 silver dol.
lars were coined and they found their
way into the hands of silver smiths, as
it was the cheapest silver they could pur.
chase. With the unlimited coinage OF
silver, gold COIN will be a curiosity seen
only in brokers' windows, and used as a
