some scouting last summer, and shot
holes through some of 'he entrail-eaters
near the Long Creek Rpuhlie, in the
Blue mouKtaius. At the close of the
campaign he struck out for Nevada,
and some Stein mountain ho'ses were
just mean enough to keep traveling
ahead of hini on the range. The Grant
county people were just h6iisitive
enough to send a sheriff after him, and
it cost the State about 31000 to get
him back to Canyon City, where he
has been jugged all winter. The In
dians ran off Iocs of hoists from the
same vicinity, and were simply taken
over to the Yakima country. and turned
loose again. But Jack, being a white
man has to be cooped up. As Nez

thing wrong about this Indian bu.ine$.
Some of the Indians ought to have

a nephew of Kit Carson, is cooped up
in a little iron cage at Salem. Bee.

I don't think it right to arrest-
them as tramps, as soon as they
put loot in this state. I don't
think there is much consisten
cy in a legislature ct'iistrrin;
Congress for passing th' Chi
nese bill, for the relief of Cali
fornia, and then pass a law
that would send the Chinese, as
tramps, to Wethersfield if they
came to this state. I think
there are criminals enough in
this state without maki .ir a
large batch by legislative en
actment. I believe there are
criminals enough, undev the
commou law. without manu
facturing for the trade: and I
doubt the constitutionality of
it." Mr. Wetherell concludes
his remarks to the astonished
selectmen by saving: "I had
rather hunt for slaves, untlor
the Fugitive iSlave law, tor
there was at least a property
right. If the blind Bartimeus
was m Manchester to-day, or
the ble?sed Lord whom he fol
lowed, I should have to arrest
them as tramps: for, 'inasmuch
as you have done it to the
least 01 these my little ones,
you have done it unto me I
never yet refused a tramp
I Something to eat, and don't in-
tend to; for, naked tramps we
come into this world, and na
ked tramps we go into the
next, and we don't know who
will be in the legislature there.
May I be put in the lockup,
and fed on the provisions of
this act, if I do become a hound
to hunt a man down because he
is poor, and lias nowhere to
lay his head, and asks in chari
iy for something to eat.,; There
are a good many who are of
Mr. Wetherell's way of think
ing on the subject of "tramp
hunting." The Lord Himself
in a moment of pathos said of
himself that while the fowls of
the air and the dumb brutes
had homes, the Son of Man had
not where to lay His head, thus
placing himself clearly within
the provisions of Connecticut's
'tramp" act. The giving of
alms was specially and continu
ously enjoined by the blessed
Lord and His apostles. To
one Jesus said, ,Sell all that
thou hast and give to the poor."
The young man thus advised
went away sorrowful, nut en
joying the prospect of becom
ing a tramp in order to gam
the kingdom of Heaven. It
is of course true, that some of
our modern tramps are crimin
inxls in disguise' having assum
ed the garb of poverty in or
der to conceal their nefarious
purposes. It is also true that
some of our rich men are crim
inals, in spite of their high
station. It does not lollow,
however, that because some
rich me.i rob banks, wreck
insurance com panic! and filch
frow the public treasury, that
the legislature should en
act a law making it a crime to
be a rich man, sending him to
state prison on suspicion mux
he is about t steal the trut
funds of orphans and widows,
and ottering a reward of $5 to
constables for every rich man
