NOT a "cLosED ENTRY, YET.
Uenerson Bee.)

The Bee man is far too young to pose
as a political prophet, but we have an
idea in our head, of which we can not
rid ourselves, that the race for the
United States senatorship is not alto
gether between Mr.. Cummins and Mr..
Gear. Much as some of the politicians
would like to do it, there is no use try
ing to make closed entry out Of any
political event which is SO far, far away
in the distant future az is the settle
ment of this matter. 1t must be eight,
and it may be ten months before the
Legislature makes choice. Who can
say what may not turn up to alter opin-
ions and disturb sentiments in the
meantime? Who can forget that just
back yonder in 1896. Mr.. Bryan and his
silver boom, which gave the Republican
party the hardest fight it ever had, was
conceived, born, reached maturity and
died in the short span between June
and November. 1t is too early for con-
servative men to commit themselves
unreservedly.
They say the voice of the people is
the voice of God, and we have watched
with some interest the popular expires.
sion on the senatorial matter just be-
ginning in the Des Moines Daily News.
1t would appear that in that sort of
voting one candidate stood Just as good
a show as another, yet thus far, outside
of Polk county, Mr.. Dolliver, of our
own district, has received twice as
many votes as any other candidate. 1t
is not at all unlikely that Mr.. Dolliver
may be prominently in this Senatorial
race yet. He is the sort of a man who
does not go after anything unless there
is a show to win, but it is a noticeable
fact that no one has heard him say he
would NOT be candidate. There may
be still other candidates right out of
our own district, and the Bee is free to
Say it is not ready to declare itself.
Others may see the end from the begin
ing, but we confess we cannot. and we
prefer to reserve our fire until we get
within gunshot range. Words launch
ed in May are quite likely to be dead
letters by January.

a HOBO CAMP.
How the Merry Men of Today Take Life
Easy Like the Lillles of the Field


Easy Like the Lilies of the Field.
The question what to do with the
tramps which infest Denison, has be-
come OF such Importance that we
thought a thorough investigation of the
hobo life would not be amiss, 80 we
have observed them in town and fol-
lowed them to their rendezvous, where
many surprising incidents were noted.
The meeting place, or rather camp of
the hobos' in Denison, has been in ex-
istence for several years, and they find
Denison such a paying" town that
they have made it one of the principal
gathering places between Clinton and
Omaha.
Walking along the G. 4 N. W.
tracks one morning about 1880 we no.
ticed crowd of "tramps'' assembled in
the camp, and thinking perhaps some
thing of interest might be seen by
watching them, we concealed ourselves
in favorable position to overlook the
camp.
Seated in groups of two or three,
around small fires, were perhaps fifteen
men evidently waiting for something
to turn up" Soon other men began to
arrive, each new conner bringing some
thing for the general store. Some few
who evidently had not been able to
convince the people of their starving
and destitute" condition, brought wood
and coal for the fires.
When about fifteen more gentle
meh'' had come, preparations for the
meal began. Pots, frying pans and tin
cans were produced, and the bundles
brought in by the new arrivals were
opened-meat, tea, coffee, bread. but
ter, sugar, etc, were produced and as
soon as the meal was prepared. consul
tation was held which resulted in the
sending of four of the number towards
town. In short time the men return
ed bringing with them two kegs of
beer; tobacco and pipes we're produced
and we left them smoking and drinking
and evidently enjoying themselves as
much as they could.
This is merely one instance of what
is taking place every day, and our idea
in publishing an article of this char.
acter is to warn the people against the
wiles of the tramp
u In the first place DO NOT GIVE MONEY
to any beggar; secondly. do not feed
them without making them work fol
what they get, and thirdly, do not give
them articles of food to be taken away
and prepared elsewhere, such as tea
coffee, etc.
If these instructions are followed
, our town marshal will have a much
easier time in Kidding Denison of all
undesirable characters and our proper
ty will be secure from the depredations
, of these vandals.
81 Since the above was written suct
!, measures have been taken by the city
that the tramp situation is greatly inn
proved and we trust the s'camp'' which
was within the city limits has beer
broken up for all time.
