Tramna Nowhere Ponular.

Cows Hogg, Of Texas, and Iewelling,
Of Kansas, probably regret that they
recently permitted their great, sympa-
thetic hearts to get the better of their
intelligences in the matter of their
several sops TO the tramps. They worked
off some pretty rhetoric and high sound
ing sentiment in their expressions sym
pathising with the unfortunate I'M
employed" and directing the authorities
to deal leniently, even tenderly, with
them, and felt sure that their broad
humanity and fellow feeling would Crap
pie the masses Of voters TO them with
hooks of STEEL.
But there has been no such graphing
The effect has been just the opposite
from what the governors ex-
pected Instead Of blessing them
for their thoughtfulness of the poor, the
farmers of Texas and Kansas are cursing
Hogg and Lewelling for calling down
upon them horde of idlers and thieves.
For two months Texas has been overrun
with tramps from the four quarters of
the country. They have captured trains,
smashed freight cars, raided farms and
poultry houses, terrorized women and
children and proved themselves an I'M
mitigated nuisance to mankind. in Kan
sas the result of dwellings now famous
tramp order to the police of cities of the
first class has been similar. The cities
and suburban districts are fun Of tramps,
who beg and steal, but refuse to work
The country districts are infested with
the nuisances making their way to the
cities, and the farmers are writing letters
to Iewelling, upbraiding him for his
orderand telling him what donkey he is
There is no section of the country in
which the tramp is welcome the senti-
ments Of governors TO the contrary not
withstanding. And TO class of people
despise the tramp more thoroughly than
the farmers.

Limiting the Age Of Engineers.

At a. years Of age the man who has
been blessed with good health is supposed
10 be in the prime of life, and for several
years thereafter as good a man rs ever
The LehiFh Valley railroad compaqy
says in effect, that the suppOsiti0n is.
in so far as railroad men are concerned.
an error; that 10 years is the limit Of age
Of frst-class locomotive engineers. The
company has issued an order discharging
all engineers in its employ above that age.
IL has long been acknowledged among
railroad people that the continuous run
ming Of fast schedules eventually breaks
down the nervous system Of even the
strongest engineers. Some of the
best runners on limited expresses.
after making schedules requiring a
speed Of mile a minute, for sew
eral years, have been known TO lose their
nerve entirely and become incapable Of
making a slow freight schedule. The ex-
PLANTATION is that the extraordinary strain
of such fast running has proved more than
human nerves can endure for many years.
But the Lehighs order does not limit
the discharges TO the runners Of fast en-
gines. 1t is sweeping 1t takes in the
slow freights as well as the swift mails.
II says, virtually, that men above 45 are
too old to be engineers, and that only
young men are competent to haul trains.
This new departure by the Lehigh, if it
is to become a part of the policy of the
road, is Of Importance to engineers all
over the country. The Lehigh is 4 great
system, and any important change that it
may make will be taken note of by other
systems and probably copied. It is be
lieyed by some of the engineers, how
ever, that the order was issued only for
the purpose Of displacing some Of the
leaders Of the recent strike, and that it
will be shortly cnnntermanded

in order to prevent the spread of diph-
liberia in the public schools, the New
York health authorities viii ask the
board of education of that city to order
that all school books be covered with
glazed paper, and that ordinary states be
abolished. The teachers are to be required
to inquire every morning whether any
of the pupils, or any members of their
families, have sore throat. If any such
case is disclosed the health authorities
are to be at once notified, and children
having sore Threats win not be permitted
to return to school until the city physi-
clan shall have examined the cases. Epi-
denies are frequently spread through
school rooms; therefore it is wen that
they should be brought under regulations
of the health authorities such rezula-
tons would probably have the effect Of
making less frequent the necessity of
closing the schools because of the preya-
lence Of contagion in Il community

No Further Need for courts.

From the New York Tribune (Rep).'
Gov, LeWellDg, OF Kansas, is indeed a great
man. he has passed upon law in reference
to the punishment OF Migrants. and has issued
decree declaring that it is unC constitutional
and not to be enforced. What the courts will
do in the matter IL hard to foresee. The sim
plest course would appear to be for them TO
surrender their functions TO the governor and

amendment to the constitution providing that
so long as Gov. Leweliing remains in power
the judicial and thA executive functions shall
be combined in his august person.

and is now Admiral Mcllo's legitimate
quarry, if he can catch her. He has been
waiting at sea for the arrival of the
Nictheroy of the Brazilian coast for some
time, and now that she has got there it is
probable an exciting battle will shortly
be fought. In the contest the ex-Ameri-
can will have terrible odds against her.
The vessel Mcllo has taken out TO inter-
cept her mounts guns with an effective
range of eight miles. The range Of the
Nictheroys main battery, the dynamite
gun, is four miles; thus Mello may be able
to hold her beyond the range of her own
gan and pound her to pieces before she
has fair chance to put in blow for de-
tense.
