witnesses had gone home. There were
number OF witnesses examined. however.
who showed that drinks had been dis
pensed. but most Of them held member
shin cards In the club. not one Of whom,

sion in allegiance until Friday morning.

MONUMENT TAXES.

There is a drag in monument building
In Pennsylvania, and tho Legislature OF
that state has been under the necessity OF
passing an act which allows counties to
build or complete monuments erected TO
the memory OF those who served IN the
Union army.
Under the terms OF this act 1t is neces-
sary FOR at least hfty citizens of county
10 petition the Court OF Quarterly Ses-
glons for the erection Of or completion
OF monument or 10 pay debts hereto
fore contracted" on that account
The court Will lay the matter before the
grand jury. and II approved by two sue
cessive grand jprles and by the court, the
county commissioners are authorized TO
levy The requisite tax and furnish the
| money 1t rs eaid that every county
which has not already provided itself with
monument will avail itself of this oppor-
tunlty TO DC so,
| a Philadelphia paper states that tho
finances OF a county must be in a des.
perate condition, indeed, TO compel the
4 authorities to refuse an appeal from old
| soldiers for memorial 10 their departed
comrades" And II adds that II Is doubt
| full II there Is any county In the Com
monweal,h In any such straits. In {
short time Pennsylvania viii have th'
distinction OF having public memorla
to its soldiers and sailors at every countl

THE VICE OF VAGRANCE.

"A bill has recently been passed oy the
Georgia Legislature defining who arc
Migrants, and providing a speedier
method Of aresting and Furnishing them.
The law Is especially designed to reach
negro loafers. Although the farmers OF
Georgia are in need of laborers, and al
though there is an active demand IN all
parts OF the State for worknen. large
numbers of shiftless negroes are wander
ing around with no visible means OF sup
port, and being In idleness are almost
sure to fall into mischief. 1t is proposed
under this law to arrest all such Migrants
and make them give an account Of them
selves.
The situation in Georgia does not differ
from the situation In other Southern
States. or In Northern States for that
matter, where there Is any considerable
number OF negroes. 1t was recently
stated by prominent citizen of Della
ware that the negro troubles in that
State came from the strolling idlers.
But we had not set out to discuss the
negro question, or even this phase of IT.,
Many negroes are shiftless and do not
trouble themselves to work, because they
can live on a mere pittance, and one
days work will give them enough money
TO keep them In idleness for week.
Moreover, they can draw upon their
wives, or If single. upon somebody's COOK
or house girl for enough food to keep life
in their bodies, and that is about all they
want. They do not care for homes and
home comforts. They care nothing for
position in society, they have no ambi-
ton, higher than meat and drink and an
easy time This is not true. of course.
of all negroes for many of them are
thrifty and own their own homes, and
such negroes, as a rule, are good citizens
and give no trouble. But the shiftless
ones are almost invariably criminals, or
would-be criminals, and are forever get
ting into trouble.
The lesson to be derived from this con-
dition is plain. It is in the interest of
society and good government that work.
men shall have laudable ambitions, shall
have the desire to accumulate. the desire
for home and the refining influences of
home, the desire for an education and
for an honored position In the world.
But the workingman cannot occupy such
a position, 'eannot accumulate and own
his homo and educate his children, unless
his wages are high enough TO maintain
him.
It is the worst thing possible In gov
eminent like ours to attempt to keep the
workingman down. as the saying goes.
II we have poorly paid workmen we are
apt to have workmen without ambition,
and workmen without ambition arc sure
10 become shiftless and degrading.
1t is possible for white men to 1.-Two 2:
shiftless negroes live. working one day
In the week and loating six days, but II
would be the worst thing possible for
government and for society to reduce the
workmen of the United States to such a
condition.
