A Sure Cure for Tramps.
nom ID Washlngton star.

AANAl tlAN W hnAAiAn ANH foldls
Middlesex county y. j.. is not q pop
ular place of residence with the tramps
Of the eastern circuit. For a long time
most OF them have given that region
wide berth because Of the rigor with
which the laws against vagrancy are
enforced there. But now a scheme is
proposed which, If adopted and carried
out fully, win make Micclesex county
the veritable gehenna OF hobodom.
Heretofore the county has paid a fee
of fifty cents to constables for every
tramp arrested. But this fee has often
proved to be less than the constable
expended IN his quest. and the result.
while displeasing to the tramps to "a
large extent has not been absolutely
n complete rounding up Of the travel
lers. Now the county grand jury has
proposed TO increase the fee to $3.50
and pay ;he constables mileage for
bringing their captures. Furthermore,
a chain-gang Is TO be established. in
the real meaning OF the term, chains
and balls 10 be provided to link to-
gether groups OF road workers. II is
expected that the activity Of the con-
stables. spurred on by the proffer of
la larger Zee, win result In a prompt
hning up of the ranks. Instructions are
to be sent 70 an justices OF the county
that the public sentiment favors the
imposition of long sentences for va
groncy, so that the county may reim-
brrse itself In the enforced labor Of
the convicted tramps for the cost of
their capture and keep.

These seem to be bad days for Mr..

Democratic senators. the object being

land senator. in his capacity Of leader
Of the Senate. has used all Of his in

been dissipated at the conference on
Saturday, for the opposition to his pol
