V good frleuds General Cbarim
H. Grosveuor of Ohio and
Charles B. Laudts of Indiana,
who have been swearing by
the beard of the prophet for a decade
that under the benign influence of the
Dingle; bill, from which, according to
their philosophy, all blessings flow,
there Is not a tramp In America, must
feel an unpleasant sensation when
they learn that the railroads kill from
1,600 to 1,900 tramps annually. Now,
lfa clear as crystal that the railroads
could not kill tramps unless there were
tramps to kill. Nor cau It be assumed
by these astute and agile statesmen
(hat the railroads kill all the tramps.
Perhaps, as a mutter of fact, they
do not kill more than one oat of a
thousand, which forms some basis
for ascertaining the whole number of
tramps In this land of the free and
home of the brave. The above figures
were given In a carefully prepared pa
per read by Mr. O. F. Lewis, superin
tendent of the two largest charity so
cieties of New York, before the late
national charities conference at Min
neapolis. Will Brother Groeveuor and
Brother Landls admit their error and
cease to make such preposterous asser- !
tlons? Not ou your life? not so long ?
as they believe that anybody can be '
roped In to vote the Republican ticket !
by so doing! They probably will fol- 1
low the White House example and de- '
clare that Lewis Is a liar and a horse ;
thief because "lie has dared to tell the j
truth.
Worse and more of It for Grosvenor.
La ad In et Id genus omne, the Phila
delphia Press, a Republican organ edit- ,
ed by el-Postmaster General Charles ?
Emory Smith, admits the truth of the
foregoing figures, and the Washington
Herald, independent, speaks editorial
ly of the "Tramp Problem and Its
Solution."
Jap* In Taxaa.
The latest news from Texas la that
the lumber mill owners, having grown
weary of the shiftless negroes and
Mexicans, are employing Japs In their
stead. It Is said that the number of
Jape now so employed In the Lone
Star State amounts to 8,000 or 4.000
and Is rapidly Increasing. The state
ment, hard to believe, is also made
that one Jap doe<? the work usually
done by two negroes or three Mex
I leans. All of which la Important, If
! true. There Is no question about there j
being a widespread and grow leg feel
Inf of discontent In the south with the
negro laborer and that he must Im
prove hl? ways or he will find him
self supplanted to a large extent,
which will hasten the extinction which
Inevitably awaits him on thla conti
nent. Certain of the southern states
are making systematic efforts to de
flect the tide of white Immigration to
the southward and appear to be suc
ceeding somewhat. It Is being made
apparent In Europe that the tale about
life and property not being safe In the
aouth, which has been assiduously cir
culated up north and abroad for, la
these many years. Is a He made of
whole cloth. This matter has been and
1* being Investigated by the ambassa
dors and ministers accredited to our
government, particularly by the Italian
ambassador and the German ambassa
dor. Thetr reports are decidedly fa
Torable to the south. By reason of
favorable climatic conditions living is
much cheaper In the south than la the
north. Not so much food, clothing or
fuel Is necessary. Heuses cost less.
Cattle run out In comfort all the wit
ter. All these facts, when generally
known, will take white Immigrants
Into the south in constantly au^ment
numbers.

"My little boy In the Spring of 1901. when

Cuban Itch from one of my neighbor's babies.
Bores broke out from
his head to the bot
tom of bis feet. He
wou'j itch and claw

not sleepdayor night.
I had to wheel him in
his carriage most all

only a light dress li

1 can't begin to speak
I In words the suffering
I the poor child had to

of our best doctors to
treat him. and he said

Itch, and his treat

when a lady friend told me to try the Cuticura

the firs: time since two month*. When ha
awoke I applied It again, and It gave him
much ease, and after three applications ths
sores began to dry up and improvement began
to show, and In a few days tne hide from tho
bottom of his feet and Inside of his bands
began to peel off. 1 only used one cak? Cuti
