SOME vAGRANT THOUGHTS.

How much vagrancy may be bought
with a fine? What is the price of loaf
ing per month? What is reasonable
time in which to get to work?
The above are questions of interest
that many magistrates and mayors
will be called on to settle if the va
grancy law is generally enforced, as it
should be.
A citizen of the gentle art of rest
is caught up from his modest and re-
firing life and hailed into court and
fined. He pulls his roll, pays up,
and starts to resting some more. How
much leisure has he bought? How
long is the community estopped by
the payment from calling for an addi-
tional contribution? Vagrancy is not
like other crimes in that it is con-
tinuing offense. A negro steals
ham, is caught, convicted and serves
his sentence. When he returns to the
society from which he has been
segregated by the law, that ham is
done for. Not so with vagrancy. A
single conviction is not a lifetime Ii
cense to hold idle--we will not say
"better''-hands. After reasonable
time, the convicted vagrant is ripe for
another lesson. The intent of the law
is to deter from vagrancy, not to put
it up for sale at the price of a fine.
The gentry of the mysterious means
of livelihood must be taught that they
must either make regular and liberal
payments in the way of rent for the
space in which they vegetate or leave
for diggings new.
The question is simply the length
of lease that is purchased by the va
grant by conviction and fine or by
that most horrible punishment OF
manual labor. The fine is payment
for present and past idleness, not
ticket of leave for continued ease.

How has it helped the Republican
party? Only by the vote of the office
holder and his personal influence. In
the South the political convictions are
so deep that the appointment of big
leader to a fat office does not carry
with it the support of any number of
voters. Instead of saying: THE Re-

his former leader, he bends backward
in his resolve to stand straight and
fights the Republicans more earnestly
than ever.
There is but one way for the Re-
publican party to win from the South:
Quit being a sectional party, quit the
advocacy of a tariff law that robs the
many to enrich the few, quit giving
protection to the trusts and cut off
the bounties they enjoy, give power to
reduce the burdensome and ruinous
railroad rates that prevent a fair
chance for business in the South, stop
coddling the negro because he is
negro, and give us a government in
which the people and not the great
corporations name the Federal Judges
who put the trusts above the law. OF
course there are plenty of good men

THE RAILROAD TAXED WITH THE
COSTS.

A few weeks ago the people of North
Carolina were startled by the news
that the Southern Railway had invad-
ed the streets of Durham on Sunday
night and laid a track in the centre OF
Pettigrew street, just in front of the
Bull factory. Judge PEBBLES, upon the
application of the city officials,
promptly enjoined the corporate an
archists At the hearing he continued
the injunction until the matter of the
ownership could be determined by the
courts-a wise and righteous decision.
That action Infatuated the rule-or-ruin
Southern Railway bosses, who sought
to punish the officials by attaching
them for contempt-using a criminal
prosecution to settle a title to land,
In order to make case for contempt
they for the first time brought to light
a decree of Judge Purnell, signed two
years ago-never before seen by Dur
ham folks, or heard of-which gave
the Southern Railway in suit in
which Pettigrew street was in no sense
in litigation, the ownership of that
street. 1t was an unheard of sort OF
decree and able lawyers do not believe
it could stand a moment in any court
of equity. Judge Pritchard granted
the preliminary order and set the
hearing for Tuesday of this week, and
took the case out of the State court
and moved it into the Federal court.
Prior to the hearing, the Southern
Railway effected compromise with
the Durham officials and did not press
the contempt suit against the officials
of the city of Durham. They had, by
their bluff and Durham's fear of the
effect of Purnell's far-reaching and
unwarranted decree giving the street
to the Southern Railway become fear
full that Durham could not have the
case settled on its merits. The South
ern Railway has won more in North
Carolina by showing the big stick of
a Federal Court than before judges
and juries DEGREES like that of Pur-
nells has made Durham and other
towns feel that the odds were against
them in the Federal Courts. And so,
doubtful as to the result, the Dur
ham officials agreed to an arrange
ment that was not what they thought
the city ought to have, but which they
thought was better than they might get
in further litigation. Some Durham
folks, too, were scared about the COLI
tempt proceedings and urged a COM
promise. There was never any ground
| for the least trouble about the con-
tempt case, but there was danger that
the Purnell decree might stand, in
view of the fact that it had not been
appealed from at the proper time.
Judge Pritchard promptly dismissed

Usually the truth is not OWNED. The
mass of the people vote as the ex-
emplars of public virtue indicate; the
rif-raff vote, naturally, with their
kind, each man keen with the expec-
tation of his own acknowledgements
testify the heelers go in. In conse-
quence, their votes go to the malnte-
nance of monopolies that their cleo
ton may be certain for another sea-
son. The higher up men with specl-
al privileges recognize their friends
and are very careful not to know too
much of their aims or acts. 1t is
combination that almost every city
knows, this top and bottom of socie-
ty, and strangely enough the moving
motive towards the alliance is IN
both cases the same.
