THE GRANT COUHTY HEWS,
.December .77, ISOO.
A stringent train p law lias been
passed in Iowa. It declares Unit
any male porson sixteen yean of
ngo or over, who is physically nblo
to work, who is wandering about
begging or idle, and who cannot
show reasonable elForln to seen re
employment, tslinll bo deemed a
tramp, scut to jail and put to hard
work. Oregon has no siieh law,
but should have one. Tliurb is no
excuse for tramps hero.
Everybody predicts and expects
that tho short session or congress
which convened on tho 1st, will be
from one and another cause, one
of tho most important in its effect
iijkmi the oliticaI future of the
three great jMlitieal pnrties, for it
is now conceited by all shrewd ob
servers that the 1' tinners Alliance
is one of the great politiiuil parties
of tho country, and that it will
tako a prominent part in the great
national battle of 1802.
Revised tables giving tho final
count of the .population of the
country have been made public by
the census otlice. This count
makes the population of the Tin
ted States (52,(521i,t!r0.. This is an
increase of 111,110 over the total
as previously announced. Tho
change has been made as the re
sult of tho correction or errors in
the first count and tho insertion of
names known to have been omitted
therefrom.
Jay (ioiiM has secured control
of nearly all of the big western
railroads and of the Pacific mail
steamship company. It is already
announced that ho will immediate
ly raino tho freight tariir on all
lines of railroad west of tins Misis
sippi river. Of coin so ho will; ho
isn't satisfied with getting the
largest half of the money received
by tho farmers and cattle raisers
of tho west and northwest for car
rying their produce to market. He
wants it all.
One would hardly take tho au
thor of the follow ing to bo the
greatest infidel of the age, for it
breathes of a hereafter; but it is
one of Ingersoll's sentences:
"Over the grave bends l.ove bob
bing, and by her side stands llopo
and whispers: 'Wo shall meet
again.' ueforo all life is death,
and after all death is life. The
falling leaf, touched with the hec
tic flush that testifies of nut n in n V
death, is, in a subtler fense, a
prophecy of spring."
It has been found' that (irnver
Cleveland was not entitled or
elected to the presidency during
the four years that ho fcurved, but
that .li'ii l'.hiino is the one who
should have warmed tho seat din
ing that time. This claim U lu
ed iiH)li tho fact that live thousand
men, inmates of Koldiers' homo
and other public institutions mi
Long Island, all voted fm ('lew
laud. The suiireino coin t of New
York state has decided that thc.o
men were not entitled to vote.
This decision may afford some
satisfaction to .lim but it eauio
too late to be or any benefit.
ICddy Wiekdalo living in Miitle,
Mont., aged I I year, brutdly as
saulted C'liarles Hiiniboldt a play
mate, inflicting fatal injuries. Ho
enticed young Humboldt to a se
cluded spot and demanded of him
(15 cents Humboldt had displayed
with boyish pride home time be
fore, ilcing refused, ho set upon
him with a heavy iron bar, and
after beating his victim insensible,
took tho money and lied. Wick
dale's depravity is probably duo to
reading dimo novels. Neither
boy is yet 15 years old, yet one
kills the other for a few cents.
China and other hoathon lauds
ought to send a few missionaries
over this way,
A big story 'S tfoiiig "round,
about a letter having been received
at Sacramento from Portland,
signed John ilaucroft, in which
tho writer mys that ho is on his
death bed and wishes to make
known the fact that ejght years
ago ho was a tramp fn Amador
county and that a lady named Ko
vail gave him his supper, night's
lodging and breakfast. She also
gavo him SI and tent him away
with aood advice. Tho writer
says he braced up, camo to Oregon
mid is now worth S15.000, which
he wills ts his benefactress. if
all cases wherein tramps wero bo
friended would turn out us in this
instance everybody would tako
great pains to bestow grub and a
dollar upon a tramp. I'nfortu
nately, though, similar cases me
rare.
