A TRAMP SHIP

A tramp steamship is tramp" because she wan ders the world carrying the advantageous no matter how unfamiliar and remote, to which her manifest takes her. She is not tramp" be- cause she about of
 Quite the contrary is There great tramp lines. immensely wealthy and powerful, the ships that fly these flags modern every re- spect equipped with wireless, vast tonnage. and most comfortably appointed in respect to officers quarters. When his vessel lies port the tramp captain appears to the envious longshore onlooker to live life of the most agreeable sort As a gen eral rule however, the captain himself holds his occupation Tn no such high regard It is seldom that he urges his sons into his profession; but the sons themselves. a willful progeny o roam Tn tar-off lands before them, often than not follow in their wake, writes George Harding in Harper's Magazine.
 Tramp captains may gratify their desire for TO- nance, it true, only in a limited way after all5 and their prospect for material prosperity is of the smallest The cash return is little enoueb for all the responsibility assumed the rich cargo and lives carried through months weather of gales and fogs at sea, of lonely and monotonous wastes. The wage is not much greater than a com mOnplace bookkeeper may get ashore.
 The pay of a junior officer aboard tramp steamer CT would outrage the feelings al boy uhe pay ot d t1rst mate would shock bank clerk. But once the first officer becomes a captain his pay is practically doubled. When the happy day. after years of ambitious service at last arrives, his owners forward to him, his wife, is trad ing in foreign waters the of s9O a month, of which he is sometimes expected to find him self in charts and chronometers his owners pos sess other ship than his, the chance advance ment is extremely slight; but if he is in the ser vice of of the great freighting lines his pros pect at the best is that of the command eventually the newest ship wage $500 a year
 The junior officer is, of course in competition with host of others keen aspiring himself. Fourth officers, stranded in English ports have been known ship before bodied Australia other eastern ports where greater opportunities exist

Socialists and the Charter.

Two objections have against the proposed charter for Phoenix. One is directed at city manager plan and chiefly from poli tcians The other, offered by the socialists, goes against the commission form either with the managerial plan the ground that too much power will be placed in the hands of the commission. The spacious statement is made that the people are as capable of choosing their al any commission be. Here is in that the charter is intended to deprive the people O. power. whereas. it is intended to invest them with greater direct power over the tire city government than they have joyed power that they begin exercise at any time they the need it, and which they can fully within a very short time. It is a certain, qualitative power and not shadowy. quantitatiVe power

The continued success or the public markets of Los Angeles is handsomely Justifyng the step which was taken few months in providing both easy and heap for the public supply of table necessaries.

Circuses and menageries in the earlier days not quite what they should been. They were companied by bands of pickpockets, thieves and thugs, sometimes with the connivance of the man agement.
