NEW PLAN FOR HANDLING TRAMPs.
Made TO Put in Two Hours Hard Work for
Food.

Food.
Macon, Mo. 2l.-Some time ago
the city council adopted what looked
like wise humane plan for dealing
with the tramp problem This was
to supply all the householders with
tickets, the pesteboards to be given
to every able-bodied applicant for
food. Each ticket was goo1 for a
square meal at a restaurant after
two hours work had been perform
ed for the city under the direction
of the street commissioner / t did
not occur to the originators OF the
scheme that nine out of ten tramps
would refuse the ticket under such
conditions, and insist on getting
something to eat without work A
more stringent measure ia now in
force.
When Weary Willie" reached
town in the afternoon he is seized by
the police officers, locked up 10 the
calaboose for the night and put TO
work on the streets next day for at
least two hours before he is given a
bite. After released they lose no
time in getting away, and they urge
their fellow unfortunates, as a relig
ious duty, to steer clear OF this
town. They are given to under
stand they csn get meal for
every two hours toll, but 60 far
no one has worked beyond the two
hour limit, and would not work that
long if not forced to or course,
wanderers who are not apprised OF
the situation come in every day, but
the rule works like lightning-the
opportunity never occurs to apply
it to the same party twice.

THE NEW CURRENCY BILL.

IT a result of the Indianapolis Monetary Confer / \ ence of 1897 the House Committee on Bank ing and Currency has been logged out of its deadlock and has come to agreement on report. As its chairman Mr. Walker, had declared such agreement impossible, that 1t reached is evidence of the hard work done by the Monetary Conference,
 its executive committee, and especially by its chair man. Mr. H. H. Hanna of Indianapolis. MT. Hanna
 is manufacturer, who has studied forward from his daily business admonished by financial conditions
 in majority of the States where his trade lies until
 he took up try to remedy the consequences of our tumble of financial legislation. He is remark
 ably clear as to the necessities o the situation, but
 with rare spirit of federation, has recognized the need of some few present compromises and modi- fcatons of the one straight plan that would give at once financial system four square with science When the work IS finished the business should not forget that credit for 1t due to this gentleman who is quite worthy to hail from the State that gave Hugh McCulloch to the Treasury and Michael C. Kerr and Joseph B. McDonald to the cause of sound finance in Congress. As has been already stated, canvass of the House demonstrates that the reform bill can pass that branch Its fate in the Senate is problematca, but that does not change the duty that is upon sound money Republicans and sound money Democrats alike. 1T there any hesita- ton before, the result in Oregon should have removed it. There these two classes of voters pooled their issues. They made no fusion and divided no offices. They simply voted together the basis of support Of common principle The indications are that they will continue do this in every State, until the forces of fusion and fatsm have been routed and long step toward sound money has been taken by the adoption of the reform bill pending.
 There is some disquiet over the resumption of silver coinage provided in the war revenue bill If in that feature the atists had their innings the sound money will have their consolation stakes in the pending bill, which will pass the House and will probably be made better by waiting in the Senate until the fall elections have confirmed the wavering and encour- 1 aged the tmid.

THE PURE FOOD CRUSADE.

I the arrest of certain grocerymen chargeo With h selling aduterated food products new evidence A> is given of the activity of the Board Of Health and Inspector Dockery in enforcing the pure iooo law In hardly any branch of municipal admlnis- tration have the whole mass of citizens greater 1n- te1est than in this The sale of impure food and even its very presence in the market, threatens With danger the entire community Hardly household can be free from the menace he strict enforce ment of the law against the sale ot such deleterous articles Is therefore matter of prime importance.
 It is to be hoped the activity displayed by the ot- fcials of San Francisco in this respect will have the effect to stimulate those of other cities in the State to exercise similar guard over the welfare of their communities As the case stands now the expul- sion of impure foods from San Francisco tends to drive them to other Californian localities Goods which cannot be sold here are packed up and shipped for sale somewhere else. he enforcement ot our ordinance on the subject, therefore, makes it almost
 necessity for other cities adopt similar regula tons and enforce them with equal strictness. '
 The problem of pure food is, in fact, one which should be dealt with by the nation. In broad sense it is commercial and industrial as we'll as d sanitary measure The presence or impure foods and cheap aduterations in the market seriously at- fects the industries of the producers and manufac- turers of purer articles, and, moreover gives bad to klndS O1 A1nerlCan produce dDlOdu, and this injures our export trade.
 Congress has taken several cautious tentative steps in the direction of pure food laws and each of these has been attended with good results. Nothing like a comprehensive measure however, has ever been considered by that body, though strong pressure has more than once been brought to bear upon the House to get such a.measure before it. Last winter a largely attended pure food convention was held in Washington and a considerable amount of data on the subject was prepared and submitted along with
 petition for protective legislation but nothing came l of it. It is evident there must be long campaign of education yet before accomplish the eml- nation of sophisticated and adulterated foods from our markets or compel their sale under proper la i bes.
 I1 the meantime what is being done in San Fran cisco is highly encouraging. We are keeping our own market fairly clean of these frauds and furnish l ing good example to other communities around us No one will assume the guilt of any of the arrested merchants under prosecution, but the very fact that they have been brought before the courts is good evidence of activity the part of our health officers and that in itself matter of little l qualification.

majority for Mckinley was not all Aia- meda County did. It is not generally known but it is a fact that Mr. DaVi5, at the request of the executive commit tee, drew up the programme upon which the Republican campaign was conducted during the last and decisive month By request MT. Davis drew ID a plan which was sent out over the name of Chairman Mel .aughlin to all the speakers, with the request that they use 1t as their gulGe. This document was dated the Eth day of October 1896 and no small share Of the credit for the brilliant manner m wh!ch the campaign for sound money ana re- stored prosperity was closed in Califor- nia is due to MN Davis. Alameda Cou:i- ty need not fear to put forth such 9 can- dldate.
 The above was published about six months ago. Now on nearly every page of the doctors paper Pardee is extolled while Davis is persistently ig- nored or declared to be out of.the run ming.
 The Tribune so far has confined it. self to a middle-of- -the-road policy and publishes nothing particularly ,avora- bIe to either man, while holding out the possibility of the nomination com ing to this county. It IS also fact that the leading adviser Of the. En- ouirer's new manager is the .EXami- ner's Oakland correspondent: -.:.r'---
 A careful and impartial survey or the political field in Alameda County would seem to indicate that there are too many men in the county wishing to profit individually and personally by the >cOunty's heroic. efforts. in the Me- Kinley campaign, and that many dire disappointments will be. experienced:

member State Board of Equalization, Superintendent of the Mint, Naval Of ficer, Immigration Commissioner Su- preme Justice, large Custom house pat ronage, a Prison Director, Labor and Deputy Labor Commissioner, and each of these has provided a number of fat places for other Oaklanders. Senator Fred Stratton is already a candidate for one of the Hawaiian committee of five under the Newlands resolution, and in addition Oakland now boldly an- nounces that she wishes to capture the Governorship as well as retain the Con- gressman.
 Ambitious politicians who are in the field realize that Oakland may be charged with wanting too much, and are forming combinations designed to forward their own schemes and smash the schemes of the others. Intimations have already been received from the other six counties which with Alameda compose this Congressional district, that Oakland ought to be content with what she has, and possible Governor ship, leaving some other portion Of the district to name the Congressman. Yet while Pardee and Davis on the one hand, and Metcalf and Hilborn on the other, are said to wish to keep the cam paigns for the two offices entirely dis tinct, it is hinted that Pardee and Hil- born have formed little mutual au- vancement society.
 The conservative element in the Re- publican party in that county-and Ala meda is a conservative county-lS some what perplexed at the prominent part the alleged Democratic Examiner IS taking in Rel ublican politics on the other side of the bay. It has entered into a cast-iron contract to boom Par dee, and for months this has been very plain both in it's local and editorial l columns To u thinking men in Alameda County the foundation foI this assumption to dictate on the part of MT Maguire's organ is but thinly yelled. The entire push ot that county, which has for twenty years done the bidding of the railroad corporations, is now lined up behind

 is Councilman B. C.. Cuvellier: MT Cuvellier has frequently on the
 floor of the Council appeared as tht
 champion of measures desired by the Southern Pacific Company, notably the granting of franchise during the pas year. He is opposed to "cinch" prop
 ositions, but is a nephew of Genera Manager Kruttschnitt of the Souther1 | Pacific, and has frequently stated il the Council that he is friendly to the
 corporation. Under these circum
 stances it Is somewhat peculiar tha Councilman Cuvellier should be an ar ] dent supporter of the man who is at

ago he was the leading organizer of the Municipal League, which put up a non- partisan ticket, beat the regular Re- publican ticket and elected the doctor Mayor of this city. Two years later he essayed to repeat the trick and failed. On this occasion Republicans and Democrats outdid "the doctor' at chicanery, for they nominally indorsed his candidate, J. w. Nelson; but voted for John l.. Davie and this ended Par. dee's political boom. .-
 It is also fresh in the public memory that Dr. Pardee, .WhO is being .boomed as "a great fighter took a trip to Castle Graz before the breaking out of the great strike of 1894, at which time he was Mayor of Oakland, and that he sent word that he could not get back to Oakland as the trains were tied up. When this fact became known several offers were made to get Mayor Pardee back to his city within three days if he desired to come-but he did not come till the strike was over.
 These references to Dr. Pardee's anti- railroad and Republican records are known to no one better than the Ma guire advisers of the Examiner, and that paper realizes what an easy task 1t would have should Pardee receive the nomination in beating him and electing Mcguire. With this same end in view the Alameda County edition of the Examiner turns every Republican meeting into "Pardee demonstration" and plasters over with compliments all of Pardee's supporters, while his enemies. politically, are tarred and feathered. Particularly is this the case with District Attorney Shook, who un- til few months ago, was a most pro- nounced pet of the Examiner. but which, since it undertook to nominate Pardee is his most unrelenting foe and defamer.
 There is more than one Republican in the county who believes that Par dee was injected into this fight by the Examiner and it's allies for the pur- pose of beating W. R. Davis. In a legal capacity Davis has been able to
 worry the railroad q. considerably, es- pecia1ly in the. water front cases, and 1 in a political capacity, the railroad will ! not tolerate him. Although the EX- 1 aminer during the trial of these cases
 was morally backing Davis side of | the litigation, since then it has sub jected him to some severe inspired crit .icism. ':.'

GAS COMPANIES ALL OF A PIECE.

HROBABLY there is no city which at some stage of its career has not had difficulty in checking the larcenous tendency of gas monopoly. For gas company isa monopoly as naturally as water: runs downhill Ii there happen to be two companies
 by an easy transition they become one, and, having abolished rivalry proceed to steal to the utmost capacity of the agile meter =~: :ss....=.
 It is not likely there IS another city n the world worse sufferer than San Francisco. Here the charge for gas is z5 per thousand feet. The meters are either inaccurate or the employees, negleeting to read them make such guesses inTe to the benefit of the corporation. Itis notorious that householder must
 pay for gas never consumed that his supply will be arbitrarily cut off So far as appears, he has no re
 course A short time ago the price of gas was cut from $2 to the present figure This was heralded as a great concession As a matter of fact 1t made no difference in the bills, and were it to be reduced to 10 cents the meters would be stimulated to

 Just now the London papers are making a fuss over the chronic thes of the gas monopoly there: oth- ing is said about the wicked unreabiy of meters it may be they record correctly which, being the
 lends importance to the price. The London rate has been raised from two shngs and tenpence to three shillings and throughout the murRy metropolis is heard howl of distress ct this increased rate is much less than half the rate charged here where householder, it is safe to affirm pays for twice as much as is consumed on his premises.
 We sympathize with the Londoner, but have troubles of our own. Supposing he had the San Francisco Gas and Electric Company and its aggrega- ton of trained meters to contend with! Then he would learn to regard the three shilling outfit as a boon and a blessing But if the London Gas and Coke Company can afford sell gas at three shillings (72 cents) and give fair measure there is no excuse for the local concern to charge ST $ and rob the consumer That it does rob the consumer is a propo- sition so firmly established that none will attempt to controvert it Yet we hope the people of London will triumph, and even that some time: between now and the millennia dawn the people of San Francisco may pay fancy price for tallow-dip variety of illuminant ss:'-:s .-. .. -.' g.

It is now very plain that Alameda County must decide whether she wants to name the next Congressman from the Third District, or the: next Governor There is an. evident de- sire on the part of candidates for these offices to avoid placing the county in the position. of wanting to
