A good suggestion was made to the
industrial commission in New York,
when the immigration laws were under
consideration. 1t was shown that al
though immigrants afflicted with con
tagious diseases may be sent back to
Europe, there is nothing to prevent
their returning to America in the next
ship that sails, and they have done this.

This sort of evasion of the law de-

Governor Tanner of Illinois has again
incurred reproach this time by a wilful
violation of the Colorado game laws. A
four-pronged buck was too strong a
temptation for his virtue to withstand.
Apparently there is nothing in the law
of his own state or of any other that he
feels bound to respect.

unfortunately the Canadians declined
to consider it when it was advanced by
the United States. Is it possible that
imperial pressure is now to be brought
to bear to compel it's acceptance?

BY. common consent, the utter failure
of the New York street railway strike
is attributed to the lack of reasonable
cause and the superior intelligence of
the men, who did their own thinking
and refused to be led around by pro-

encouraging symptom.

1t is yime to let up on Gov. Roosevelt,
for it is not his fault nor the fault OF
his commission that the men concerned
in the New York canal scandal are not
to be brought to justice. The charac-
ter of the commissioners is beyond re-
proach, and when they say the laws
are such that no conviction could be
accomplished In these cases, their Judg-
ment might be accepted as conclusive,
even if the statute Of limitations did
not put the culprits beyond the reach
of the courts The New Workers. should
tinker their laws some more.

A generous corn crop is predicted for
Kansas, and with it the final extinction
of populism, so that the state may be
accounted sure for Mckinley in 1900.
There is nothing in the wheat and corn
belts that plays more persistent havoc
than good crops with the political evils
that make up the freakish conglomerate
known as populism. When the farmers
have an abundance to sell and a good
market, there isn't any use in preach
ing oppression, monopoly, calamity or
free silver.

Vermont is having a painful spasm of
economy and reform. The authorities
say they do not feel authorized to incur
the expense of recognizing the state
militia and sending it to welcome
Dewey in New York without the ex-
press sanction of the taxpayers. Hith-
erto the motto of Vermont officials in
regard to military matters has been,
Hang the expense! Go ahead!" And
they have gone. That little legislative
rumpus of less than year ago seems
to have had a wonderful effect.

1t is now pretty we'll known that the
hordes of tramps who infested the east
ern States, after the Civil war were
the results OF the abnormal conditions
OF that war. The nature Of military
service draws out of men the habit
and desire for monotonous and peace
full labor. II was a singular exhibition

seventies, when, for instance, the towns

who slept in the barns, asked and
asked and even demanded food at the
farm houses, and finally created a mild
reign OF terror, until laws were passed
which grossly insulted the tramps, and
prompted them to withdraw their
patronage of the housekeepers
For the same and other causes. the
tramp is about to infest this city.
There is but one way to dispose of
them, so far as they make personal
visits to residences. That is, to refer
them at once to the office of the Asso-
ciated Charities, and decline to give
them aid. If any one desires TO give
aid to any particular tramp, because
he tells an uncommon tale of woe, it
should be done through the Associated
Charities. If the tramp does not move
on the police station should be rung
up, and the case stated. The police
should have a quick and
special service for this purpose. For
the outlying districts, mounted SER
vice should be ready at all times.
Unless citizens. and especially house
keepers, act together, our social life
will soon be made annoying. The AS
sociated Charities should and will,
act for the entire community, and no
doubt they will be sufficiently provided
with funds.
