road employees were killed and wound ed, then how many of these tranps
 must there be? Tn the same propor- ton there should be about 150.000.
 There is no punishment for tramps unless caught in the commission of some crime They spend their time in complete idleness as far as any good
 purpose is subserved, and they live on the labor of others 4 railroad writer on the subject says that these tramps
 not only commit depredations upon property, but expose human lives to danger. and death. As is well known,
 vagrants interfere with signals on the
 New York Central railroad, place Ob-
 structions on the tracks and stone
 trains. On the Chicago & Northwest ern the tracks are lined with vagrants
 who refuse to leave the cars. Ere uuently train crews are assaulted by
 these warrants. A number of suits
 have been successfully brought against the Illinois Central by tres
 passers, who claim that they wer2
 pushed or kicked from the train
 while in motion, thus sustaining in-
 juries through the illegal acts of the trainmen. The conviction Of an eject
 ed vagrant depends upon the testi-
 mony of the trainmen; their pres ence at court for this purpose would
 involve a change of crews, loss of
 time and no little expense There fore many prosecutions are dropped. On the Norfolk & Western railroad
 train employees have been killed or injured by assaults from trespassing warrants. On the Cumberland Valley
 railroad vagrants occasionally give
 outlying telegraphers some annoy
 ance, which at train time might lead to serious accident. Without doubt many fatal railroad casualties are chargeable to these people, although they seldom are brought to punish

AS TO TRAMPS AND LOAFERS.

Those worthless and often criminal vagrants, known as tramps, who wan der at will from place to place in the United States according to the changes of the seasons, living on the country as they go, begging when it suits them and stealing what they want wherever opportunity offers constitute a vast army to be number ed by the hundred thousand
 These people are not included in the census enumerations, nor do they appear in any sort of records except those of the police courts and the prisons when they happen to be ar rested. These tramps belong exclus- lively to the white race, they travel in small groups and infest every part of the country, riding when they travel, on the roofs of railroad cars. on the wheel trucks or the platforms of the blind baggage" express cars, and the "bunters" of freight trains.
 The reports of persons killed and wounded by the railroads shows the following concerning tramps and tres passers killed and hurt in the five
 years of 190105: Killed, 23,964; wounded. 25,236; total, 49,20e Now if forty-nine thousand of these vagrants were killed in hurt in the same time that 302,o00 out of the million rail-

ment.
 There is no remedy against tramps, since they enjoy the right not to work and to wander at will, and these are guaranteed to them by American cus- tom if not by the Constitution. This seems to be the reason there is no law to restrain and stop this whole sale vagrancy. The right to be idle has become in recent years one of the most sacred and carefully cherished immunities and prerogatives pos sessed by the American people. The day will come, as it did in ancient Rome, that the multitudes of idlers who lived On the communities where they chose to reside Or were fed by the demagogues who used their votes to get into power, will grow into mil lions. There are already a hundred thousand Or more, but nobody has yet undertaken to use them for polit- ical purposes.
