Ohio's Tramp Cure.

The tramp evil which springs from the millionaire evil, the two appearing together, tho one increasing as the other increases, has been brought in Ohio within punitive legislat ation. Under the Ohio law any one who is found going about asking for food or other articles is denominated tramp" and he is to be arrested as such and brought before a court, and imprisonment becomes the penalty. Alms-seekng is thus made crime, or as the law terms it, mis- demean0r.
 Tie constitutionality of this law, the first of it's kind, was severely attacked in the Ohio courts, and the Supreme Court of the State has held that 1t is not an unwar- ranted attack upon individual liberty. In other words, it is a valid act. The lower courts of the State decided the law uncon- stitutlonal, but the court of last resort in the State held otherwise, and the law stands
 Other States win try the Ohio plan no doubt. but it is indeed doubtful whether it will be effective anywhere. Confirmed hobos do not dread or even dislike a term ir a warm jail, where meals are regularly, Sut not elegantly, served. All tramps dis like work, and the towns that have applied compulsory stone-breaking or wood-sawing to the tramp evil are the ones that have sboen frecst from these by-products of tar iTiSm and millionarism. The tramp hui sance is q feature of unjust economic con- ditions and while those conditions are maintained, it is scarcely reasonable to thrust Imprisonment upon the lowest grade of those conditions, and it is not wise 10 do so because as a rule board and lodgings at public expense suit many of them alto sether too well, especially in the winter

them can be made longer If, in order to do this. it should be made necessary 10 decrease the lumber of schools, do not hesitate to apply the remedy. The perma- nency of the increase in appropriations depends upon it. If we do not lengthen the term and thus show that money has been henefieially expended, the next Legislature will withdraw the appropriations, and should do so.
 Let me call your attention to that sec tion of the Code (356D which guarantees to every child free tuition for as long a term as the public funds will maintain the schools. In those communities which do not desire to supplement the public funds for the purpose of lengtheninS the free term, but desire to egthen the term by assessing tuition fees, the free term should end before the pay term begins In this connection let me recommend that when q supplement is raised il be used for the purpose of supplementing the public fund and lengthening the free term The free school idea and the pay school system are antagonistic.'
 Every parent who is unable to pay fees to teacher should know his rights and should demand them. In many places he will find himself confronted by influences that will endeavor to exact from him fees at the beginning of school term' or else will try to crowd his children out of school
 The next Legislature should wholly elim- mate the pay system-a system that brings humilia tons to the very persons the State is trying to help and to reach. Until the pay system is driven out, the less ntelli- gent and weaker members of a community will be abused and robbed of the benefits that the State intends to bestow. Illiteracy will thus be promoted in order that few may exploit the field There is but one true remedy-driye out the pay system alto- gether. This will be difficult in some cases until new constitution permits local tax aton for school purposes, but the difficult ties are less than the vicious pay schools present to the poorer members of communi- ties.

Next Winters Legislation.

The short session of Congress will be crowded with important work. The Mica ragua canal bill, an important measure, will come up, and it's disposition will con too, of necessity an army reorganization bill; for on July 1 next the present regu- lar army of 65,O00 men will, ill the absence of new legislation shrink to 26,00O men, and 35, GOO volunteers will be discharged. Of this vast force, 100000 strong, 1,0OO men are in the Philippines, where they are not only needed, but where more men are needed if General Macarthur is left to be the judge. The Fihpinos are no more in clined today to accept American rule than they were when General Otis first went to the islands.
 The trusts will utilize the situation in the Philippines to demand a standing army 00000 strong. They will scarcely go be-
 
 prefer to go up step by step to an army that will dominate every town in which they have plants. For this is now a gov ernment by the trusts, for the trusts. The mere fact that a large standing army has ever been a menace to the liberties of people, win make no difference. The Iib- critics of people must not be permitted to stand in the way of the profits and se- curities of the trusts. Such little matters as the liberties of the people must go out and hide themselves if they do not like the situation that Dingleyism and Mckinley ism has inaugurated.
 If the Democrats were in power they would cut the standing army back to 25,000 more men are needed, but the Democrats will not be in power until March f. and the short session will then be ended, it's work completed. As 26OO0 men and the pension list call for more money than Germany's vast force costs, it would seem that the burden should not be further increased And it would not be if taxation were di- rect, so that each man could see what he has to pay for protecting the trusts who are ena gged in robbing him. But Federal taxation is indirect and hidden, and the taxpayer does not know how much he is taxed. He is deceived and he lets men and measures in that he would otherwise shut out.

MARK TWAIN AT65

From the New York Sun.
 MT. Clemens. who will be 65 years old next month does not look bit older than he did when he went away from New York five years ago this summer. There is a little more color in his cheeks than there was then. His eye is as keen as ever. Long as he has dragged that familiar drawl, it has hung on, refusing to be parted from him, and his speech still betokens that he belongs to the leisure classes, although this he denies When MT. Clemens left the United States five years ago it was with the avowed intention of paying the debts he voluntarily assumed of the defunct pub fishing house of Charles L. Webster &. Co. in which he was partner. The amount Of these has been stated as in the neighk ST. hood of s2O0,OOO At the age of 66 years Mark Twain set out to make enough money by featuring tour around the world to pay these debts of honor. He started for Australia and New Zealand, and followed the English-speaking colonies around the eastern continents to England.

Evolution of the Campaign.

As the Presidential campaign approaches its climax in the day of balIoting it is seen that the people prefer to hear discussed the economic questions that concern their daily life, rather than questions that re- late primarily to the new possessions. Dan- gerous as a big standing army would be, and imminent as changes in the nature of the government may be and undoubtedly would be. yet the practical minds turns in preference to the trusts that are robbing the people without mercy under the terms of robber tariff that no other people would submit to. In spite of the Kansas City platform, the people have made these grasping combinations the great issue.
 Questions of taxation generally have first place, and every dollar taken from the peo- pie by these combinations beyond a reason- able profit is taxation, because it is made possible, it is actually laid, by the tariff that shuts out foreign goods The measure of this taxation can in many cases be ac- curately taken, for the trusts have one price for home consumption and one for foreign consumers. The difference is tax alton. although it goes under other names.
 If the campaign could be prolonged a month, the education of the people as 10 indirect taxation under the Dngley- -McKin- ley tariff bill would be valuable and fruit full. The tariff breeds and sustains the trusts, and when Mir. Bryan says he would put all trust-made articles on the free list he recognizes this fact. Trusts are not hurtful in other countries, because in other countries they cannot dictate prices. Espe- cially is this the case In England. Trusts are welcomed there. They arc few in num- Der and are altogether harmless. In this country they utilize the viest tariff that class legislatioA ever devised to rob the people unmercifully-to rob them as rule up to the tariff limit-up at any rate to earnings on fictitious and swollen capital that almost outruns calculation. It is in these cases water, water everywhere and not a drop" that has any justice or honesty ill it. But this unjust taxation should be laid where it belongs-on the Dingley- Me Kinley tariff.

THE "GRAPE CUREy IN SWITZERLAND

From the London Daily News.
 Just now the tourists are Hooking to Me- ran, and this little Tyrolese watering place is beginning to get crowded The grape cure it at its height, will be in a few days. It can scarcely be possible that all the grape eaters are actually invalids, you meet all kinds of people eating grapes, and ap- parently eating them almost unconsciously You buy your grapes in little basket. and you carry it with you on your walk or saunter, and go on nibbling at the fruit un- til you have consumed your regulation pound or two pounds weight. A man with out a basket of grapes would look as odd in the alleys round Meran as a man withs out hat might look in PiccadilIy or the Strand. So the Meran grape cure is N-ry popular and is very inexpensive. The town fixes the price of the fruit, and you get more for three pence than you could believe it possible you could eat. Just now the place is full of Austrians placidly submit ting to the cure. The Americans also taking it with that characteristic adapta- bility which belongs to them in Europe. And the Meran doctors, with an almost similar adaptability of the remedy to the disease, are prescribing for dyspeptic pa- tientS

THE CHILDREN's HOUR

By Longfellow. Between the dark and the daylight, When the night is beginning to lower. Comes a pause in the days occupations, That is known as the Children's Hour. I hear in the chamber above me
 The batter of little feet, The sound of a door that is opened, And voices soft and sweet. From my study I see in the lamplight, Descending the broad hall stair, Grave Alice and laughing Allegra, And Edith with golden hair A whisper, and then a silence;
 Yet l know by their merry eyes They are plotting and planning together To take me by surprise. A sudden rush from the stairway,
 A sudden raid from the hall By three doors left unguarded
 They enter my castle wall. They climb up into my turret
 Ger the arms and back of my chair; If 1 try to escape, they surround me They seem to be everywhere. They almost devour me with kisses, Their arms about me entwine, Till 1 think of the Bishop of Bngen In his Mouse Tower on the Rhine. Do you think, O blue-eyed banditti, Because you have scaled the wall, Such an old moustache as I am
 Is not match for you all? I have you fast in my fortress,
 And will not let you depart But put you down into the dungeon In the round tower of my heart. And there will keep you forever,
 Yes, forever and a day, Till the walls shall crumble to ruia And molder in dust away!

Free Schools and Pay Schools.

In the evolution of the States public schools to a higher standard the pay sciiool stands in the way. but Superintend- ent of Education Abercrombie Is bravely striving to eliminate it. We quote from the circular of September 26. addressed to county superintendents. He says:
 s"On account of the increase in the funds available for the year beginning on Octo- Der l. 1900, I recommend, request and urge that you will approve no contract for a term of less than four and one hslt months

Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1900-11-15

In this city of strange and unusual
sights there is probably nothing that
appears so strange at first sight to the
American as the Chinese ear cleaner
pursuing his calling on the street cor
nerS. The Chinaman so engaged Is pro-
vided with stool and small bamboo
case, in which are inclosed his instru-
mentS.
The Filipino is just as sure of having
his ears cleaned on Sunday as an Amer
lean is of having a shave, and in the
bye streets and alleyways they line
up for all the world like a barber shop
on Sunday morning, the only difference
being the Chinaman can't say next!
First of all the Chino takes a razor
which looks more like propeller blade
than anything else, and, wiping the VIC
TINS face with wet rag, proceeds to
mop the dirt therefrom. While watch
ing this part of the proceedings l was
surprised at the fiexibility of the native
nose as demonstrated by the skil!fui
fingers OF the operator. To Wlndward.
to leeward, on its stern. beam and bow
the natives nose is rapidly twisted TO
avoid the aforesaid razor. Having re-
moved the real estfSS from the natives 5
face, the Chinaman turns to the more
! difficult task of ear cleaning. The
smallest spot of dirt and the tinieSr
feshworm is removed before the op-
Grafton is complete, and from the
''heavenly expression" one would imag-
| inc that the operation was anything but
| pleasant MANILA Freedom.

A Question OF Strength.

Mr.. Trimble acknowledged in his
speech, that Col. Allen could poll 500
more votes in this District than he,
Trimble, could; and we all know that
the habit is fixed when a man votes for
one man on the Democratic ticket, that
he usually votes the whole ticket, and if
Col. Allen is 500 votes stronger than
Trimble, is not that one reason why
Democrats should support him in his
race? Remember that Mckinley carried
Kentucky by less than 300 votes, and if
Kentucky should be the pivotal State
and difference of 300 votes should lose
the State to Bryan and thereby lose the
Presidency, would not every Democrat
who failed to vote for John R. Allen,
feel that he was Particeps Crimini' Il
the defeat of Bryan? Let no good
Democrat make such mistake.-Ken-
