THE TRAMP. , It isn't an easy thing to make an accurate census of the tramps in thuj country for they are scattered all ipver it and are always on the ' mof e, but the latest estimates are that they number something oyer 56,000 regular tramps who make a sort of life business of it, and not those who tramp for a month or two or a season and then settle down where they find work. In times of industrial depression, of course the number is largely in creased, doubled or trebled, but these do not come under the head of the tramp proper, who is ubiqui tous and always on the moye, gen erally moTing with the sun, in the iall southward, in the spring north ward. It is a somewhat remarkable thing that in a country like this with: its Taried and multiplied indus tries there should be any tramps, and it is perhaps stilt more remark Ma 1 that bo little effort has been made to solve me mmp 4UM""'U mnst be a solution to it. Where the solution has been attempt ed it: has been merely local effort, by towns and communities and these! hare not been efforts to solve tfiA Tvrnhlfim but to set rid of the tramp as a nuisance and put him on the way, to inflict himself on some! other community. Many towni hare tramp or rather what mighi be more properly designated anti-tramp laws, the object of which is to deter the tramp from coming their I way, or to hurry him up and send him Borne other way when he comes. As it would be inhuman to let'him starve or freeze to death, if it be freezing weather, he is given something to eat and a place to lodge and then ordered to move under penalty 'of being punished if he ' loiters; after the warning to moye on. 0f course the more onvmeang that tie outcast (for that is what he is) fmay inflict himself on- some other community, get something to oat. -MTbans lodzinsr. and then bo told to more onsome more. He therefore moves, and keeps moving until he gets to the end of the jour ney, and when the season comes for a counter more he moves back in the direction from which he came, just as the migratory birds do. which fare much better and have as 'much human sympathy. Communities are not to be blamed for desiring to get rid of tramps as quickly as possible, for they are un der no obligation to take care of and feed and house the tramps that come from other communities. If they did they would find themselves taxed be yond their resources for such a com munity jjwould become the tramps' Mecca, f There are many people who refuse to feed tramps for that very reason because if they show much sympathy for them and a willingness to help them along they will, in the tramp season, be called upon fre quently if-not daily for a "bite to eat," for it seems that the tramps help each other and put each other on the track of getting something to eat. Either that or they have some unknown way of locating the places and premises from which they are not turned away empty-handed. Somehow or other they find out the. the freej giver; and when they do they never forget him nor let him be forgotten by other tramps they meet. But why should there be in this country,1! with all its boasted pros perity and work for the workman, any tramps? Idlers and loafers there always have been and always will be, but these are different from the tramp, who was once a worker. Forty years ago tramps were as scarce as millionaires. They were few and. far between. The mil lionaires have multiplied and so have the tramps. Is there any con nection between them? Do the con ditions that beget millionaires, or people of large wealth, whether millionaires or not, also begftt tramps? While there may be other contributory causes, such . as exces sive drinking and other demoralizing habits, we incline to the belief that the economic system and the legis lation which have done so much to facilitate he-amassing of large for tunes have also hadVmuch to do with thej making of the army of tramps. jjOf course the supporters of this teconouhc system and this legislation will dispute this and say these tramps are not tramps from necessity but from choice, not because they cannot get work to do but because they don't want to workij That may be the case with a few out of many, but it is not the case with the majority. It ,i not natural that men should pre fer to lead such nomadic lives, at a regular thing, suffer as many and most of j them do, feel that they are outcasts, shunned by every one, and, tolerated only as a matter of necessity for a little while even by communities who do that much from benevolenWnspiration, on the same principle hat they would throw a boae tb! a hungry dog, or give a jlP of hay to a hungry stray horse. The humanity that feels for the suf- "naggwrute also feels for the .fnenaiM tramp, human being driven out as It were by the human family. There ought to be flome effort made to check the development of the tramp, and it ought to be aone by the communities from wmcq. tne thetramn SDrings. These commu nities "are the large cities. Tramps are not bred in the small towns nor in the country. They are a city production and it is there the worJc of Drevention and reform should be gin, both to save the tramp and other communities from nis inflic tion. What should be done, what method adopted to remedy, this evil it is not so easy to suggest, but sure ly the intelligence which solves other apparently difficult problems should be equal to the solution of this one or at. least an attempt at solution, which has not yet been made. THE BACK PROBLEM IN CUBA It has been anticipated ever since Cuba got from under the Spanish yoke that one of her most embar rassing and dangerous problems would, be the race problem, which has already begun to assert itself, perhaps sooner than anticipated, and somewhat 'more formidably than anticipated. It seems that in the organization of the new Government the negroes were not given such recognition as they expected nor such a share of the offices and public employments as they thought they were entitled to. They protested and it was announced that the Palma govern ment had offered them a number of positions on the police force in Ha vana, and as mail . carriers. This does not seem to have placated them and the agitation went oh, culmina ting, for the time being, in a great mass meeting in Havana a few days ago, the story ofjwhich is told in the following dispatch from Havana: The greatMtmeeting of the negro element ever held Id Cuba was held this afternoon in the principal street in Havana, five thousand persons were present, Incladinjr 2,000 whites twenty-two members of Congress ana three members or the Cabinet. Gen. Joan Oalberto Gomes presided and five negro orators who are famous in Cuba delivered earnest addresses, in which ther demanded recognition of the negro element by the govern ment. . Gen. Juan Gomez advised' modera tion, but also firmness on the part of the negroes in maintaining thelrrlgbta. He claimed that the government of the island under United States occupation had been greatly preferable to that of President Palma, and recite 1 incidents to show that Weyler had been more favorable to the negroes than the pres ent heads of the Cuban republic. Upon the fall of the present govern ment, which be predicted, annexation to the United States, he said, would be the sole solution to the problem. n.. -i . 1 3 the most intense excitement among the politicians. Gen. Gomez is not a Cuban. He is a native of San Domingo, with mixed blood in his veins. He has always been regarded as an adven turer, foxy and unreliable, who would bear watching. Gen. Wood managed him by buying him, thus keeping him quiet. It was suspected when he declined to accept the pension voted him by the Cuban Congress that he had some ulterior motive in doing so political ambition, to be the power in Cuba, if not President. This meeting, in which he denounced the Cuban Government and assailed Palma, seems to justify that suspi cion, while there is little doubt that he is encouraging the race agitation to further his own schemes. Cuba isconfronted by it now, and it remains to be seen how she will solve it. The meaning of all this may be that the United - States are not done with Cuba yet. THE REPUBLICAN GAME. The warning sent out by Senator Simmons to the Democrats of this State, published in the StjLr yester day, exposes the game the Republi can leaders have put up to carry the next legislature, send Pritchard back to the Senate and elect some Congressmen. The infamy and the boldness of this game might make it incredible to persons who are not familiar with the .methods of Repub lican party managers in this State, but the unequivocal directness, earnest emphasis with which Senator Simmons rings his warning, and the preciseness with which he states the plan of procedure leave little room to doubt that his assertions are based on what he is satisfied is relia ble information. We do know that Senator Pritch ard professes to be confident of re election in the face of the fact that in the last election the State was .overwhelmingly Democratic. Being a candidate for re-election of course he could not be expected to concede his defeat in advance, but it is some what remarkable that, under the circumstances, he should so confi dently claim his election in advance.' Without some put up job to surprise and knock the Democrats out, he would have nothing to base this claim on. We know, too, that with the un usual nnmber of aspirants to all kinds of offices throughout the State there is also developing more or less of a spirit of "independentism," ac companied by carping criticism of the "machine," which' the disap pointed aspirant, or the fellow; with jobs of his own, finds so convenient as a pretext or justification for his kicking or bolting. Of course the Republican managers are encourag ing this spirit all they can, will give the tickers all the aid and comfort they can. and when " the election draws nigh if they think the chances good they will spring candidates of HorceSencc.

We haven't read of any steam engines or anything of that kind being sent by mail under frank, al though we have read of sets of fur niture; desks, etc., being so trans ported. We are reminded of this by a recent order of the Postmaster General prohibiting postmasters from sending logs of wood and bags of dirt under the frank of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, as had been done, some of the logs weighing as much as 200 pounds. A story comes from Kentucky which tells how a woman improvised an incubator and made her hus band do the incubating.

Monroe Enquirer: There has been a great deal of kicking against the ruling that cord wood must be listed for taxation. The argument against listing cord wood is that there issuehagreat difference in the price of wood. The man who has wood ten miles from market has his wood as sessed at the same price per cord as the man who has wood jX the place the wood is sold, and the man who has corded his wood has to pay tax on it, while7 the man who has simply heaped his wood or left it lying where cut, does not pay anything. Monroe Journal: Mrs. Sallie Smith, an inmate of the county home is the owner of at least $714 in cash. The find was made last Wednesday. The woman has been in the home since about the first of the year. When she was taken to the home she was known to have $117. But she was old, had no one to take care of her and was not capable of taking care of herself. She was allowed to retain this money as it seemed to be the only thing tiytt afforded- her any pleasure. Wednesday she claimed that some of the money had been lost or stolen, so Mr. Stewart, the keeper of the home, sent for Dr. Blair, the county physician, and together they searched the trunk to find just what she did have, with the result as above. The money was deposited in the bank for safe keeping and the old lady given a receipt for it. When the commissioners meet Monday they will give the matter their attention. Mrs. Smith came to this county from Chatham about fifteen years ago, and was employed as a cook and house keeper in different homes Until she got too old to work. CURRENT COMMENT .
