1ue tramp
becomes more and more of a question
every year and a great many ways
have been proposed for Kidding the
State of them. One Of the latest sug-
gestions is to arrest every tramp that
comes into the State and sentence
them for a term on some island where
there is plenty of stone to break and
work them for all there is in them. 1t
seems as if one dose of that treatment
would be all that is necessary to turn
the average hobo's thoughts to a diff
ferent cline. They really seem to love
Maine jails.
The Journal has received from the
press of the Aroostook Pioneer estab-
lishment a finely printed and quite
voluminous report of the town of Houl-
ton. We would not assume to say
what effect the reading Of this may
have upon all, but the thought sug-
gests itself that some of the ambitious
men in that town must fairly itch to
be mayor of Houlton.

Deputy Sheriff Swanton has a notice in
the postoffice for an execution sale of
Petit Manan Point. Thus the bones of
another busted boom are strewn along
the path of events. The point goes
back to it's Arcadian condition. The
gentle shepherd resumes his former
haunts, and teaches the woods to re-
sound with fair Amaryllis. Exit the
brave huntsman who shoots deer in a
park surrounded with a wire fence. A
great fashionable watering place in our
suburbs would be desirable. But it
takes business men to manage such a
thing-which appear to be lacking in
this case.-We know the advantages of
the place for a sheep pasture when it
is managed by people who know the
business.
To have a meeting of a dozen Maine
and New Hampshire mayors, more OF
less, and talented speakers on modern
economical municipal government, is
an idea that Secretary Howard Hamil-
ton of the Biddeford municipal associa-
ton has originated and given some
consideration. He has gone SO far as
to write Mayor Pingree of Detroit, the
former Saco and Biddeford mill opera
tive, and who has just been declared
unable to legally act as mayor and
governor both. and Saturday received
a most gracious letter, accepting the
proposition to come to that city this
summer and talk on this subject. Ole
Orchard in the month of August would
be an attractive spot for mayors tt
meet and hold sweet converse. Mean
while we must fall back upon the Ger.
tainty that municipal government will
be just as good as the people of the
municipality insist upon having, pro.
viding they persist in insisting.

A LOT of those people who are forever

partment to change the name of the post

slulatiQn to one Remsen, who had given
n lot Of mony to help build church. The
railway followed suit, and painted 'Ram-
senber9" over "Speonk" on the passenger
station. Then the people (outside the
beneficiary chu rch) rose in Indignation
and demanded the restoration of the his
toric name. The postofice folks SO far
recognized them as to establish second

this new Office the people ere sending

More Hay Burned in Oliver County.
On Wednesday afternoon about O'Clock
another black smoke was observed from
Washburn, TO raise out from ravine and
sweep down on the Missouri bottom south
of Lake Mandan. A hot southeast wind
of great velocity drove the flames rapidly
towards Louis Connelly's hay stacka, and
soon three of the largest were seen to
shoot up high flames that announced
predestined destruction. II has sin:e
been learned that the origin of the fire
was in "getting away" from party burn
ing a fire break. The most charitable
construction that can be placed upon the
acts of men in attemp pting to burn fire
break at this time of day and year during
a terrific sweep of hot winds. is that the
padded cells of the jamestown Insane
Asylum should be in readiness for their
cary coming.

"IsuRDENsoME PENSIONS. !"

ASSASA~AAAS'SN'S.' =
Under the above caption the Pioneer
Press comes out with "feeler" on thu
present pension system. After stating
that the pension rolls now make a biz
drain of $15o,ooo,0o0 annually, and ii
still a swelling, Notwithstanding our civi
var closed over 80 years ago. We make
the following extracts:
"While in this critical mood, people art
also inclined to push the question little
farth:r, and to ask on what ground the
government should continne the payment
of pensions to people who plainly do moi
need them? Especially. why should pros
porous and well-to-do men, in business
and in the professions, draw an annua
stipend from the government, while Other
veterans who aerved their country equally
as we'll or better, but who now find it hard
work to make a living, receive nothing
whatever, because no rebel bullet hap
pened to hit them, or because their health
remained so good that they were able to
serve their country to the end of tho wal
without contracting disabling or even a
constructively disabling disease?
t If the pension rolls were cleared. first OF
the names of all individuals who are in no
need of aid from the government to en-:
able them to live in comfort, and second
" of all widows who have married veter-
ans since the war, the enormous burden
of pensions which the American people
are now bearing, would be vastly reduced
40 much reduced that the nation could
perhaps then epare something with which
to sweeten the last days and perhaps save
from the almshouse soms splendid SOL
diers who did grand SERVICE, but weren't
lucky enough to "yet hit doing it.
There is no doubt that the larger pro-
portion of the men now receiving pen
sions were good soldiers. We sre glad to
admit that all of them have deservd we'll
of the government. But the popular SON.
timent is that pensions should be bestow
ed, not to match deserts, but to relieve
necessities. Where no necessity TO. relief
exists the claims of tho man who was. lit
by a bullet or injured by disease in the
service are no greater than that Of hi.
