TRAMPs MOVING SOUTH.

heOkuk GaUe Clty.I
Since the cooler weather has set in
the thousands of tramps, who spent the
past summer in the north are moving
through keokuk in an intermlnable
procession toward the southern states,
where they will tie UP during the win
ter, after which they Will again drift
to the north.
There is hardly a housewife in the
city who has not already this fall re-
sponded to polite knock at her back
door only to be met by a tattered tired
and hungry tramp. who, with polite
bow, says, 'Alissus kin yer please GIN
me bite to eat; j been here in town
looking for sumthln to work at, but
can't find any work." A tramp is sell
dom refused in keokuk and tramps who
fiuctuate from the north To the south
and from the south to the north every
year say that keokuk is the best city
along the Mississippi river for grub.
Although there has been great num-
Der OF tramps who have passed through
here on their way south this fall. the
largest part of them are still in the
north slowly working their way down
the river Every freight train which
passes through Keokuk has all the way
from ten to fifteen and sometimes as
many as twenty tramps on board.
These are the ones who pay the brake
men fifty cents or so to ride the length
of division, which is usually about
one hundred miles. Sumo of them will
pay for their ride on freight but none
of them will eXpend anything for eat
ables. The ones who are met at the
back doors in the morning are the ones
who will not pay for ride and con-
sequently they are ditched from the
trains. After being thrown from a
train by the brakeman the hobo will
sneak up into town, satisfy his hunger
and then go back down and board an
other freight and probably ride thirty
or forty miles before he is discovered.
OF late there have been several of
these fellows who have come to police
headquarters and asked for a nights
| lodging, which is never refused, but
that was only on the coolest nights we
have had. Such nights as last night

Rinehart,. indian Pictures.

In the summer of 1898 the govern
ment Indian bureau invited all the
tribes of Indians in this country to
send delegates to an Indian congress,
and they gathered from far and near
with their ponies and tepees and gaudi-
est trappings In the exposition grounds
at Omaha. Never before had there been
and never again will there be such a
gathering. There were about 800 of
them, some partly civilized but the
greater portion picturesque in original
savagery Strange as il may seem at
this late day, many of the Indians de-
lclared thar before coming to Omaha

ASHAMED OF HIS COUNTRY.
Senator Mason Says He Would Not
Treat Dog as FiIipinos Arc
Being Treated,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2o-1n an inter-
view with Post reporter to-day. Senator
Mason, of Illinois, said:
"On the floor of the senate I shall con-
tinue my opposition to the war upon the
Filipinos. 1 would sooner resign my seat
than treat dog the way We are treating
those people. i am ashamed Of my coun-
try.
People make n great mistake he con-
tinued. when they say that l am against
expansion. l am not. But expansion by
purchase or other honorable means Is one
thing: expansion by force Is another. 1
do not believe that there was any neces-
sity for this war upon the Filipinos. / be-
lieve that if We had adopted a resolution
in congress assuring those people. as We
assured the Cubans, that we had no selfish
designs upon them. never would have
met with any opposition in the Philippines.
The fact Is that We have given the Fill
pinos every reason to distrust us. and they
are fighting for their own liberty"
Talk about hauling down our flag
continued Senator Mason. will not our
flag come down in Cuba? Certainly it will
IL we are true to our promises. And the
day that 1t comes down will be the bright
est day in our history, because it will
show that we are Il great, unselfish ma
ton. devoted to the eternal principles OK
right and honesty. If the Cubans want II
be annexed later. that Is another question.
Why cannot We deal with the Filipinos in
the same way?"

HAvANA's STRIKES.
There Are Twelve Thousaud Men Ont.
and Four Thousand More
Threaten to Quit,

HAVANA. Sept. 20.-The strike has as
sumed serious proportions. 1t is now esti-
mated that there ere 1900 striking ma
sons painters. carpenters. cartmen and
laundry workers, and If. as is threatened,
tne hackmen. s:eyeGores and cigarmakcrs
strike within the next few days, there will
be another 4,0GO.
Inc eartmen went out to-day, thereby
paralyzing the wholesale business houses.
lhey give as n reason for their action the
unfair treatment they have been receiving
at the lands of the police, majority be-
ing Spanierds.
Many reliable business men say that this
strike OF the cartmen is the only legitimate
strike. 1t is asserted that the police
shamefully abuse their authority over cart
men, endeavoring to get Them to talk back
SO as to have pretext to take them to
viva prison and to accuse them next day
Of insulting the police. General Rafael
Cardenas. chief of Police, and Mayor La
coste deny that the police are guilty of
oppressive conduct. but the mere fact that
the cartnen went out on that ground alone
seems TO indicate that there is more truth
man fiction in their grievances.
Ihe strike of the laundry workers is also
a serious matter. owing to the large guam
tity of clothing that requires regular wash
ing in tropical climate.
Considering the large number of men
now out of employment, it is remarkable
that there are no disorders. Strikers and
employers are apparently equally apa-
thetic.
Governor General Brooke has issued a
circular order directing that the only legal
