The Tramp Nuisance.

Lake Charles sends up a wall
against the tramp nuisance. The
Press says in part: "These
gentry are tiocking here for a
winter resort. Scarcely freight
train passes through but drops
one or more from the rods, like
over-ripe fruits. Nearly every
one exhibits as his stock in trade
a missing foot, leg, hand, arm or
eye. They carry i'll printedcards
containing poor song or Il plauS-
ible lie ... So far not one has
come to the city with q crippled
tongue. The prison has no ter
ror for them, and they boast that
to the officers that no power can
make them work" Well, "there
are others" in the same boat.
Every town in the state is called
upon in proportion to its size to
furnish grub and whislSey funds
to these itinerant leeches who
prey upon society.

pass the remainder of Captain
Lawton S company at a distance
of $50 yards. Here the enemy
suffered terrible losses.
The insurgents defended them

On Sunday afternoon vein of
oil was struck in the we'll of the

with oil, and at several places
gas will shoot out of the ground

And niggers are burned at a red-hot

Who wouldn't if they could?
Where the men and maidens are rails

And try to do all sorts OF things,

His Second Term.

conditions containing promise
Of peculiar benefit to the syndi.
cate interests whose contribut
ions to Hannas campaign slush-
fund and whose compelling in
Auence as employers of labor
brought about Mr.. McKiniey's
reelection to the Presidency.
1t is ominously significant
that at the very moment of Mr..
McKinley's taking CONTROL of
the direction of national affairs
for the next years the most
notable American deN, lopment
in the world OF commerce and
industry should be the compIet-
ed organization of the S1.100,
600, 600 Steel Trust.
The capitalization of this
gigantic monopoly is the
heaviest known in the worlds
history. The organizer of the
Steel Trust, j. Pierpont Nor
gan, is the man to whom Mark
Hanna appea.ed to bring about
Il termination of the Pennsyl-
vania cyal strike, because the
Strike was resulting III injury

alton of the great railway, lines,

corporations, stcel,tube works,
coal mining properties, tin
plate plants and the like, is
pledged for the four years now
just beginning. One of the first
demands made by the admin,
stration upon the Fifty seventh

age of the Hanna ship-subsidy
bill, taxing the American peo-
pie total of $4,000, 900 for
the exclusive benefit of the
Hanna-Payne Frye Stan d a + d
OH syndicate. The President
and Mark Hanna did their best
to jam this bill through in the
closing session of the Fifty.
Sixth Congress. They were not
able to do so, but they hope fol-
better things from the Fifty,
seventies. Indeed, they insist
tnat the sb,p-subsidy bill shall
be passed, and they can more
effectively control an incoming
than an outgoing Congress.
