TRAMPS ARE MARCHING.

According to the Benton Harbor
(Mich.) Evening News of June 9th,
the officers of that town released 4S
unfortunates called "tramps, "and they
were at once arrested by the officers
of st. Joseph, one mile away, as soon
as they crossed the corporation line,
and put in jail and kept there two
days without bread or water! Eight
of the men escaped from the officers
and jumped into the river as the only
means of escape from the torture.
The humane officers there who would
at once arrest a man who would treat
a horse or mule that way, did not
raise their voice against such savage
ry. But quadrupeds are of more i'm
portance than men! The men were
not offered employment. The paper
says: The men were crowded into
Jail and sweated like racehorses, but
were not even allowed water to quench
their thirst" And this is civilized
nation! 1t reads like an incident Of
Roman beastliness. "As ye have done
it unto the least of these so ye have
done it unto Me."-Appeal to Reason.

A Queer Combination.

The boys of Columbus, especially
those who live in the neighborhood
of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, have
fought and played with the inmates
of the same for so many years that
1t is no uncommon thing for them to
be almost as familiar with the sign
language as though compelled to use
it. So there was nothing unusual in
the sight the other day of boy who
was asking some questions verbally
of companion and then telegraphing
his answers with his fingers to deaf
mute over in the grounds. A country
woman. who was passing, however
stared at him nonplused for n mo-
ment, and then, catching her daugh-
ter's arm, exclaimed: "Oh, look, Mary
Janet Look: There's n deaf and dumb
boy and a common person all in one!'

POLITICIANS NEED REFORMING.

II anything should be reformed, it
politician we have especial reference
to the professional office holders, the
men who feed at the public trough.
The chief business in life of these peo-
pie is to impress the voters with the
idea that they are their hard-working
servants, without whom the country
would go to the bowwows. 1t Is es-
sential to their success that they make
a good impression, and in order to
please everyone they blow hot and
they blow cold. When necessary they
perch on top of the political fence,
keeping a sharp lookout, and drop on
either side, and sometimes on both
sides-always, of course, trying to
land on the strong side and on the
proverbial bed of roses. They are
strangers to consistency, and insincer-
ity marks them as its own.
If the politician did not play such
an important part in our government
if they did not shape the course Of
the political parties to which the
masses give blind allegiance, their
weaknesses and their vices could be
passed without comment, as they are
not the only ones who need reform
ing; but their influence is so potent
that would we preserve the democra-
cy of our government We must curtail
their power and their influence, or
else bring about a radical REFORM

WEBSTER DAVIS.

The Peoria Journal extends its con-
dolence to Webster Davis and says he
is laboring under a serious disadvan-
tage. The Journal says
Just as he has abandoned his old
party in order to come out as the
champion of the Beers, the people of
this country seem to have lost most
of their interest in the war in South
Africa, 1t is too bad, of course, but
covering that he made mistake,
and this discovery will keep growing
on him."
Webster Davis has made no mistake
and he knows it. he performed the
grandest act of his whole life, when
he abandoned the fieshpots of Egypt
and bravely took his stand on the side
of Gods people in South Africa, so
cruelty oppressed.
Nor is it true that the people of the
United States have lost interest in the
Beers brave struggle for liberty.
That war is still watched with anx-
ious solicitude by millions of Amerl-
cans and the success of De Wet and
Botha still brings gladness to the
hearts of our people.
Webster Davis has lost nothing and
gained much. Few men are so highly
honored-great crowds follow in his
footsteps-they want to see the pa
triot that abandoned high Office for
the sake of principle and the masses
flock to him like doves to the windows.
He is going to support Bryan because
he thinks 1t will help his friends, the
fighting farmers of South Africa.
Mr.. Davis has maze no mistake. He
has done wise and a glorious thing.
He has embalmed his memory forever
in the hearts Of liberty loving men.

REPUBLICANS SCARED.

And now the Bryanites are trying
to make out that Republicans are
fearful of the outcome in Maine. Re-
publican success in Maine is just
about as doubtful as was Democratic
success in North Carolina.-Omaha
Bee.
What the Republicans fear is not
that the Bryanites will carry Maine,
but that the Republican majority
there may be greatly reduced In
1896 their plurality was 45.777 and,
o dear, what a racket they made about
ii. They claimed it as sure indica-
ton of their coming triumph, and so
it was. They did not rejoice because
they had carried the state, but be-
cause they had carried it so magnif-
Gently. Now that they see that their
majority is going to be cut in two in
the middle they fear it as the dread
portent of coming disaster They will
feel mighty bad when the Bryanites
are doing all the shouting over the
Maine election and they are becoming
very sorry that they were so greedy
four years ago as to want all the votes
in that state. They fear that 45,777
majority may be curse instead of
blessing

Captain Patrick O'Farrell Washing

Senator Hoar Immediately after his
great speech in the senate arraigning

wards the Filipinos:
Il am an old-time Republican and

to continue to support the Republican
party, as long as it marches under the
banner of imperialism.
II honestly believe that in order to

still adhere to the declaration of in

travelling men being let out by the

travellers say that they have been dis
charged, but the Bee says they are
liars, because the same thing hasn't
happened in Omaha. The Philadel-
phia platform contains plank against
trusts, yet every Republican news

trusts, and will not listen to anything
to their discredit.-Omaha Noncon-
