NEVER FAILING SIGNS.

An observing exchange says that
one sign of spring TINT is quite as re-
liable as the almanac or the weather
bureau, IL the appearance of tramps
in the rural districts. The members
OF this fraternity manage to get sent
to Jail during the winter months, and
spend the cold season within warm
walls. But when the spring comes,
hundreds of these vagabonds get out
of Jail and begin their wanderings
again. They go to the rural districts
because they are sure Of getting II lit.
tie work if they want it, and are also
less liable to arrest. Complaints are
already heard in the agricultural coun.
ties that these nomads are not only
hungry but very aggressive and in
sulting in demanding "handouts "
These INDECENT, INDECENT rascals and
criminals oughtn not to be turned loose
they should be made to work. OF
course, workhouse would cost some
thing more than Jail, in the way OF
maintenance, but it would afford a
better protection against tramps.
