TUESDAY Is TRAMPS DAY
They VIII BE Here in Numbers If
Nothing Happens

Tuesday, election day, is the day that
the tramps from ali over the western
country try and make this city. The
tramps in the west have certain cities
that they make on certain days, il 1t is
possible. 1t is Wichita on election day;
Winfield on Thanksgiving; Alma on the
Fourth of July, and Topeka on Christmas
and New Years. The citizens can prepare
for an influx Of some forty or fifty extra
tramps here on Tuesday. Il might be well
90 remember that each and every one of
them ii a petty thief. If some kind heart
ed person feels inclined to give the back
door caller something to eat, it would be
the best judgment not to invite them
into the kitchen or dining room, for II the
opportunity presents itself, something Will
surely disappear. Harry Sutton said yes
terday that the tramp habit was even
worse than the liquor habit, as far as try
ing to reform them was concerned. He
says once tramp always a tramp. There
seems to be a fascination about living
from day to day that appeals 20 these
nomads.

& Shattered Dream.

1t was cosy cottage home. Inside
everything showed the exquisite touch
of a refined woman. From the dainty
ornaments here and there, the bridal
wreath on the parlor mantle, one knew
that this was the loving home of some
young and happy couple. From the
kitchen with its shining array of new
utensils through dining room, sitting
room and parlor, the traces of Loves
hand were seen, the influence of a
gracious presence felt. Loves golden
dream had been realized. A maiden's
dream-a mans pride, the Harbor of
Home in the Sea of Struggling Life! +!
But tonight as l stepped in. there was
Grape on the door. o what sad
thoughts that little auttering piece of
black aroused. The proud little mis-

THE christian nations of Europe

The christian nations" of Europe
are about to give China a lesson in
right and wrong as viewed through
the side-lights of piety and civilization.
The code which declares that man
shall not Cypress his weaker neighbor
or steal his goods and chattels was set
aside long ago by the God-fearing
Fathers who came over in the May
flower. They resolved in public meet
ing that 1.-the earth belongs to the
saints of the Lord" and that ''we are
saints of the Lord" This modifying
supplement to the decalogue took such
deep root in the hearts of the PuritaDs
and their descendants, that to-day the
untutored savage is but a tradition,
and his lands are in the blessed posses
sion of the Carnegies, the Rockefellers,
the Brices, and other saints, who rear
temples to God and skin alive the lit
tie fellows of the world. By all means
let the Lords Amounted of Europe go
ahead and "Christianize" and ''civil-
ize' the pagans of the Celestial En-
pire Repeating rifles, dynamite guns,
and smokeles powder are more effec-
tive than missionaries in winning souls
to the light. The divinely appointed
War-LOrd who rules the German En-
pire evidently understands his mis-
sion, and so long as the heathens have
lands which do and of right ought to
belong to the elect. he will not falter
in his course. The other land grab
bling saints. we delight to observe, are
close seconds in the race; but His I'm
perial Majesty set the pace, and to
him be given the honor and the glory
of spreading the light which first
sparkled into flame in the stall at
Bethlehem.

lars per year on the bonds the govern
ment holds as security for the notes it
issues to him. and he also gets what
interest he can directly from the peo-
pie. Under this scheme the govern
ment borrows a hundred thousand dol
lars of Mr.. A, pays hin four thousand
FIVE hundred dollars a year for it,
hands the one hundred thousand dol
lars back to him, still paying interest
in full, and taking care of and beeom-
ing responsible for the bonds it issued
to him. He then is equipped for bank
ing. We suppose when any of Mr.. AS
notes are burned up or lost he clears
the amount they call for. 1t is the
only case we know of where even a
rich man can eat his cake and have it
at the same time. We want to know
if the Headlight favors this Ubiquitous
scheme. It is Republican from center
to circumference. Again, the scheme
does not add a single dollar to the
money of the country. Will the Head
light contend for a single moment that
any mans or corporations promise to
pay money is money? We understand
our Republican friends to say govern
ments cannot create money under any
circumstances - cannot make silver
money. How then can a mere promise
to pay money he substituted for it!
The man who advocates the silver dol
lar according to this logic is a fool.
The man who advocates the paper
promise to pay dollar is wise man.
We repeat that Secretary Cages pro-
position does not propose to give US a
single additional dollar of money of
final account. If we are mistaken and
it does do so, we would like to have
the Headlight explain how.

RECENT public prints contain the
most surprising and paradOxical state
ment that the whiskey business is suf-
fering from production. This
statement is calculated to start every
hobo between Key West and Cape Bar
row to investigating the laws of politi-
cal economy. Naturally, it will strike
the professional pedestrian that some
thing is wrong in this great country OF
ours, that the laws of distribution need
to be better understood. Too much
whlskey on this part of the planet
while he is being consumed by an in
tolerable and increasing thirst! Too
much whiskey while he is willing to
work to moderate and temperate eX-
tent to obtain supply of it! He knows
in his own case that the ove"Tproduc-
ton theory is a fallacy; tsdercon-
sumption is the evil that most affiicts
him. If some device could be hit upon
by congress that would place him and
men of his class in direct cOmmunica-
tiop with the distilleries of Kentucky.
he feels that he could cheerfully as
sumo responsibility for any congestion
there might be in the whiskey output.
If he and the distiller could only get
together on terms satisfactory to both,
all would be well in the whiskey trade.
The frequenter of the Louisville saloon
where the alleged over-supply of whis,
key is said to exist, when an article of
this nature meets his eye as he slips
into a seat behind the stove and glanc-
es over the morning paper while
waiting for some one to set EN- up,
realizes that statements of this nature
are viciOusly false, or at least wholly
misleading. Instead of being over
supplied he is short on whiskey-awful'
Iy short. Could his capacity for con,
sumption be used to advantage by the
distiller, the cry of over production
would be no longer heard in the land,
so far as whiskey was concerned. Ii
the question should be referred to the
consumer as to whether there is an
over-productiou in whiskey, the ver-
dict would be unanimous that there is
no over-production, but distinct and
decided under-consumpton on the part
of persons entirely willing to consume
could they only make the connection.

By extending the limit of the nation
al bank note from 80 per cent. to the
par value of bonds deposited, as ad-
vised and urged by Secretary Gage, the
possibility of currency circulation
would be increased IL per cent. or
$65, 900, 900 in round numbers. The
advocates of unlimited coinage of sill
yer and the fiatists have been basing
their demands on the insufficient sup
ply of money: but, since the furnish
ing of sos, 900, 900 has been suggested
by Republican both branches of the
repudiationists in Congress, in their
caucuses, have registered protests
against thus increasing the circulating
medium, and give ample reason to be-
lieve their opposition will extend to
all measures which do not originate
with Reconsideration Headlight,
The above is a fair sample of the
Republican idea of money. First,
they want the government to issue
bonds bearing as much interest as the
people can be made to pay, as a basis
for their monetary system. This is
the proposed system in a nutshell:
Mr.. A goes into the banking business;
he procures one hundred thousand dol
lars worth of o. S. bonds upon which
he draws interest at the rate of Al
per cent. per aunum; then he takes
these bonds to the .. S. Treasury, de-
posts them, and has issued to him one
hundred thousand dollars in national
bank notes to do business upon. He
still draws interest, mark you. at the
rate of four thousand five hundred dol

tress, who had reigned like queen
over this pretty home, lay cold and
still in the icy arms of death. The
dream was done-ah me!
There, in the beautiful wedding
gown she wore little more than a
year ago, she lay, unheeding the
strangers and friends who had invaded
her home. Other hands than hers
were busy in the dainty kitchen, yet
she did not object. Visitors were in
the sitting room, but she was not there
to show them her gracious hospitality.
The little mistress was dead.
Tossing in fitful slumber, worn out
by days of agonizing watching, hop
ing, praying at her bed of suffering,
the young husband lay on a couch.
When the bitter truth had been forced
into his bewildered understanding,
that his little girl was gone" he had
thrown himself PROSTATE on the floor
and prayed that Death might take him,
too. Now, starting from uneasy slum-
Der, from broken dreams of her. he
would awake to groan again at his aw-
full loss. He saw her, the fair young
bride of only yesterday, whom he had
taken from a happy home-a home
where she, the youngest, was the
petted darling of all. He saw her as
the light of home, the proud little
queen who ruled and reigned by right
divine, and now, it had all ended thus.
| 0 the thought of her lying cold and
| lifeless in the other room. was mad
| deuing; it seemed he must scream
alOud-a fire was burning in his brain.
Was he going mad? Then calmer
thoughts of how useless all this grief
was to her. Others, too, had loved
| her-there was the dear old mother
sitting in there, bearing with meekness
aud patience the awful blow, and brave
ly maintaining an outer cOmposure.
There were her sisters all crushed by
Little Lizzie's" 6eath-O he must
bear up and be man-yet, none could
miss her as he did-none knew her as
he did, Ibis little girl"
Neighbors sat in the sitting room
and chatted about commonplace af-
fairs. Some had wondered how the
little cottage was furnished, now they
looked. 1t was invaded, and prying
eyes gazed around to see what they
could see. 1t seemed a sacrilege to
have these prying eyes linger over
things made sacred by the touch of the
little mistress. Could they not see the
infinite sadness of it all? Did their
hearts not feel PHYS gentle dew? All!
well, some hearts are as dry as sum-
mer's dust, and never know either real
suffering or real joy. With Ruskin.
Il wonder not at what they suffer, but
at what they lose"
1t was only a sad little drama in the
great Play of Life. but it touched the
writer, and will not soon be forgotten.
Sooner or later we all must SEQ our
fairest flowers wither at the touch of
some killing frost. Sooner or later
our sweetest dreams will melt into thin
air land like the baseless fabric of a
vision, the handicapped towers, the
gorgeous palaces shall dissolve and
leave not wrack behind. For we are
such stuff as dreams are made of, and
our little life is rounded with a sleep"

The JOURNEY:

think Of death as some delightful Jour
ney
That shall take when all my tasks are
done;
Though life has given me heaping meas
ure
or all best gifts, and many cup of
pleasure.
Still better things await me further on.
This little earth is such a merry planet,
The distances beyond it 80 supreme,
have no doubt that all the mighty spaces
Between us and the stars are filed with
More beautiful than any artists dream.
like to think that shall yet behold
them,
When from this waiting room my soul
has scared.
Earth Is wayside station. where we
wander,
Until from out the silent darkness yonder
Death swings his lantern, and cries.
IAN aboardw
I think deaths train sweeps through the
solar system
And passes suns and moons that dwarf
our own,
And close beside US we shall find our
dearest
The spirit friends on earth we held the
nearest.
And in the shining distance Gods great
throne.
Whatever disappointment may befall me
In plans or pleasures in this world OF
doubt.
! know that life at worst can but delay
me,
But no malicious fate has power to stay
From that grand journey on the Great
Death route.
