SENATOR HlLL,s WORK.

Upon more than one occasion David
B. Hill has exhibited a mental grasp
Of public questions which entities him
to rank among the great possibilities of
American politics. 1t has, however,
been his misfortune too often to sink
the statesman in the politician; and to
devote to the fabrication of cunning
and wonderful mechanisms Of political
extortion talents that, properly exercis.
ed, would place him we'll toward the
front rank of great American public
men.
A nsv instance of this occasional
elevation Of character is supplied in
the successful fight which Senator Hill
bas wsgei against the economic mons
frosty which, as it left the house, was
neither protection fish nor free trade
fowl, but combination of both that
had all the faults and none Of the
merits Of either. His insistence upon
tariff bill which should create
revenue was straightforward
yindication of the Democratic platform
pledge The pledge itself may have
been an uuwiss Que Republicans be-
lieye that it was. They believe that
revenue collection can be successfully
united with the necessity of protecting
American industry; they believe, in
other words, that in order to raise
funds for the conduct of government it
is not necessary nor is it patriotic to
give competing countries the free ben
efts Of our valuable home markets,
nor to degrade home labor to foreign
wage levels.
Nevertheless. az a matter Of political
honesty, the Democratic party. having
declared for revenue only tariff
should adhere to its declaration. and
Senator Hills action in blockading tn Q
effort to dodge that RESPONSE bility is
one Of the few instances in his check
cred career which evincss a proper
conception of the validity OF party
| platforms in the determination OF pure
ly partisan policies. The two particulars
in which his course is erroneous are,
first in its failure to recognize the IA.
perior claim of the American working.
man and manufacturer upon American
legislation,aS contrastsd with the claim
Of the foreigner; and secondly, in it'
false conception that this obligation TO
the American people should be bounded
by party lines. He errs in his con
tsntion that the prosperity Of our
country is an exclusive concern Of any
one party, ending the very moment
when that party shall have been re-
tired from power, This latter plane ol
craftsmanship is yet above and beyond
him. But for that matter. few states
men Of either party have reached it In
its fulness.

THE TRAMP EVIL

An instructive incident is reported
in Pittston A telsgraphsr. w. ].
Hepburn, in the dusk OF evening, was
returning from work across the Laeka-
wanna railway bridge that spans the
Susquehanna river. He was suddenly
confronted, in the darkness, by three
suspicious looking characters, who
separated in order, as it seemed, ID let
Hepburn pass One moment later
Hepburn was struck on the head by a
blunt instrument and fell full length
across the railway ties. His three as
sailants next kicked him viciously in
the head and were about to cast him
into the river below when, by dsspsr-
ate effort, he regainsd consciousness
and freedom, and outran his pursuers.
The only explanation given for this
unprovoked attack Is that it was the
work Of part Of gang of tramp, who
aad been encampsd on Evsrhart's
island, their motive being robbery.
We have heretofore alluded to
similar lawlessness In Monroe county,
due to 6estitution among stranded rail-
way construction hands recently i'm
ported from the South. Litter informa-
tion from the scene of the Tannersvile
conflict conveys the intelligence that
these obnoxious p,nniless providers
will be forcibly dtported at the
county's expense, Whether this shall
be done or not it is obvious that
merely shifting the location of our
peripAtetic criminal classes will not
decrease their proneness to crime nor
do much to eliminate the tramp evil

that has lately grown so conspicuous
in all parts Of the United States.
When in the very centers Of popula-
tion it becomes unsafe for citizsns TO
venture forth after nightfall, without
taking precautions for self.protection.
it is obvious that the subject of tramp
determination, whether viewed from
humanitarian or mob law stand
points, demands Instant attention.
THE TRIBUNE is not prepared to say
how this problem shall be met, The
circumstances Of individual emergen-
cies vary too greatly to permit Of safe
generalization. Regularly constituted
authorities. however, need to be
spurrSd to the fullest extent of practi-
cal activity, and. If necessary. rein
forced. Agencies of charity are not
yet prepared to abate their energies in
providing work for those who will.
The good. old. patriarohiAl custom Of
personal chsstiscment for insolent
mendicants has its attractive points as
u means of correction. Another alter
native presents itself in the schools OF
reformation which philanthropio pen
ologists are establishing in many places.
Whether or not these remedies will be
sufficient is for the public itself to do
eide. Be that as it may, the tramp
evil has of late attained proporti ons
demanding careful and earnest con
sideration; and the sooner this problem
is thus studied by our people, the
quicker will it yield to the attention
that society must eventually pay it.
