More than once attention has

More than once attention has
been called in these Columns to
the large number Of loafers in
Testing the town of Yorkville. In
stead of abating, the evil seems to
be growing. An incident of Sun
dav afternoon demonstrates the
seriousness of the situation. A
number of loafers, white and
colored, became engaged IN
brawl. 1t is quite probable that
the brawl was occasioned through
or by whisky; but that is neither
here or there. The fact remains
that at least one of the loafers was
armed. He fired a pistol at an
other, and endangered the lives
of prominent citizens, ladies
and gentlemen, walking along
the sidewalks. Such occurrences
ought not to be tolerated They
do ut have to be tolerated.
There Is remedy. Loafers
of any kind ale no good to
a community. They have no
right in community. 1t is the
duty of community to run them
out. This can he done by max
ing ldleness, without visible means
of support, an otfense punishable
by fine or labor IN the public
works. The question, "Where
are you working ~ should be ap-
piled as satisfactory t, st in all
doubtful cases. In this way it is
possible to put stop to gambling,
liquor selling and other such oc.
cupations The town can sustain
no injury by getting rid Of peo-
pie who cannot give a satisfactory
answer to the question suggested.
Unless some step of this nature ia
taken soon, it will not he o great
while before the worthless, vaga
bond class that infests the town
will have gained such ascendency
as to he beyond control. 1t is to
be hoped that action will not be
deferred until another Sunday

prominent streets of the town re
suits in the killing of some promi
