THE TRAMP QUESTION.

Richmond and Manchester and their
suburbs continue TO he infested Win
hordes of tramps. In the morning they
go from house TO house begging food, ana
in most instances when furnished it they
en-, voraciously. In the evening ana at
niebt they beg for 1.-The price of a night
lodging" And on occasions some OF them
are threatening in their tones.
We have heard of more than one IN
stance where their demands for money
were so insistent that they had to be met
bv bold fronts and firm language on the
part of the men who were accosted.
II may be that the number Of actual
.bold-up" here has been small, but ii is
fact that the average unarmed man eX-
periences an uncomfortable sensation
when rough-looking fellow suddenly
energies from behind a street-corner or
from the shadow of tree and asks III
tones that mean no denial for the price
Of a nights lodging"
AS a rule few colored men have taken
TO the road as tramps, but they are no"
beginning TO appear. Usually coioreu
men who are out of work are well pro-
vided for from the kitchens where they
have women friends. For this reason we
venture to say that in the south FEWER
blacks than whites have known the ac-
tual pangs of hunger. We suspect that
the blacks who have now taken TO the
road are strangers in these parts. If TINS
were not so. they would find il easy
enough to get meals through their servant
friends or acquaintance.
Altogether. the tramps have become
great nuisance in Richmond and vicinity
There are so many of our own people VINO
need help and whose wants become more
and more pressing every day, household
ers are less tolerant than formerly OF the
strangers But how are we to get rid OF
the tramps? This is a question that IS
asked not only here in Richmond, but IN
MANY other cities of the country.
We cannot lock the army of tramps in
our jails, because to do so would impose
n great charge upon the public. we
cannot take them and put them TO WORK
upon streets and parks, because that
would be to snatch the bread out of the
mouths of some of oar own workmen.
What to do with the tramps. or rather
what to do to make them keep away from
Richmond, is a question that we have not
vet seen answered satisfactorily.
We have our own poor TO care for-and
many persons are fed by us who really
have no claim upon Newfoundland while
we are disposed to extend help occa-
sionally TO strangers who find themselves
dead broke" here. we do not wish Rich
mond TO become the Mecca of the tramp
tribe. Especially is it disagreeable for US
10 be stopped in lonely places at night by
great. big, rough-looking fellows with de-
mands or entreaties for 1.-THE price OF
nights lodging" Not infrequently, as
we are told, the tramp expresses MS
wishes in a manner that conveys the i'm
nression that he means to take no denial.
This branch Of the subject, at least we
earnestly commend TO the attention Of our
authorities, hoping that they will be able
70 make these doings very Improbable in
Richmond.

Convict wor,s ON Farms.
baltimore Amerlcan)

South Carolina is trying an expert
ment in using penitentiary convicts on
farms. The State has bought about
COCO acres OF land, divided into three
plantations, and has put to work over
500 convicts The output from the farms
has been so profitable that last year
there was earned for the State nearly
$50 900. Among other products, over sd
bales of cotton were sold. All the work
is done by the convicts VINO are or
course. under the care Of guards. the
report of those in charge IS that the
conyicts prefer 20 work I'm the open air
on these farms. that there are few at
tempts to escape. and that the healtn
OF the prisoners Is good. This expert
ment has been carried on In one way or
another for about ten years. and the au-
thorities seem now satisfied that results
justify It's continuance.
The best way 10 conduct n prison IS 10
provide syork for the convicts. Their
health is better when they arc at work,
and they bear confinement with less
trouble 20 their guards. OF course, II
Is preferable to have them employed in
the open air than I'm shops. Experience
has shown that prisoners dwell less on
their condition when they are az work
than when idle, and they are not so ac-
tive in planning to escape. After an
order forbidding prisoners to be en-
ployed at Sing Sing went into effect re-
Gently. the convicts begged the authori-
ties to provide work Of some sort. They
were willing to do anything rather than
remain shut up In cells.
The farm at the Maryland House Of
Correction is cultivated by prisoners,
but there is not enough land 10 furnish
employment for all who are there. There
is no logical reason why the State should
not. as a matter Of business. make those
who have broken the laws pay the State
in some way for maintaining them
while they are serving their sentences.

Would Make "a Mistake.
Norfolk LedgerD

DESPITE the loss that the city OF Rich-
mond sustained a few years ago in the
management of its gas-works, the au-
thorities of that city would make great
mistake should they part with the gas
works. which are now being sought by
capitalists who have made offers to lease
them from the city. The question Of
municipal ownership OF natural mono
polies such as gas and water-works Is
attracting more attention throughout our
country at present than at any former
period. and the overwhelming sentiment
of tho people of the cities: generally, Is

WHITE GETS IT.

Hon. A. B. White, Of Parkers-
burg, has been named by Presi-
dent Mckinley as Internal Reeve.
nne Collector for West Virginia.
There had been several candi-
dates, but the contest recently
narrowed down to Mr., White and
Hon. Thos. E. Davis. of Grafton.
For weeks the public have been
waiting to hear the announce
ment of the winner. Both were
grand men. The Republican
party in West Virginia never had
more aggressive worker than
A. b. White. The nation never
produced purer patriot than
Tom Davis. The choice was
made by the President who,
nevertheless, has such an admi.
ration for Mr.. Davis that he is
anxious to give him some other
position of honor, but we learn
that Mr.. Davis will not accept
any position that calls him from
home.
