A DUDE TRAMP.
Tim Lockup Sheltered mi Interesting
diameter I.nit Nlglit.
The police latt night arretted on West
Cherry street two tramps who wero found
traveling from hones to house becging for
food. One of the tramps was an Ktigllsli
ran about 36 years of Age, who wore gold
rimmed eye-glasses and assumed a very
dignified bearing. Ho spoko with a cockney
accent and protested In vigorous language
against tho "beastly treatment." When iu
the lockup the tramps said that tho arrest of
their fraternity would not break up burg
laries, as in nine cases ont of ten the burglars
are people residing In the town and use tramps
as covers. They also said that tramps have
a plan by which to avenge the arrests of their
members, and that is by sendingovory tramp
they meet on the road to the town in which
the arrests are made. By this means they
keep tho police busy and maintain a system
of annoyance. Tho police are grateful for
the pointer and will try and meet the scheme
with one that will soon convince the tourists
that Shenandoah Ts by no means a tramps'
heaven.
This morning the tramps were taken be
fore Justice Cardin. Thoy gavo their names
as Charles Diver and Frank McCarty. Diver,
tho oldor of the two, produced letters and
papers to show that he was a trained nurse
and that he was offeied a position at Pitta
burg, but was nimble to ralso tho faro to get
there. Tho man's gonuml deportment was
such as to give" a color of truth to ids state
ment. McCarty, a much younger man, had
more of tho reckless traits in his behavior
and appearance, but upon a promise by both
to learo the town they woro released from
custody and both made for the outskirts
without delay.

"REX" GIVES HIS VIEWS.
A Well Known Contributor Writes Upon
the 1'olltlonl Hltuntlon.
ED. Hkbald : It has been many months
since I contributed of my mite to your in
teresting columns. I would not do so now
only I have been requested by several Inti
mate political friends to give my views upon
the contest now being waged. I must first
express my appreciation of the manner in
which yon are conducting a clean and hon
orable fight in behalf of the Citizens party
void of all personalities and abuse, and
without appealing to the prejudices of the
people. I have the greatest contempt for
one whose bigotry is allowed to get the better
of his Judgment in matters ot this kind.
By the way, did you ever see our friends
on the other sido in worse predicament than
they are now 1 Or, can you reoall to your
mind a political party, manipulated by a
small clique, being used for such base and
degrading purposes? To gain the desired
end, men who have been the mainstay of tho
local Democracy, who have maintained its
organization and fought its battles, have been
turned down for those who never before
raised their hands for party success why ?
Well, I'll tell you. Mr. lrank Ilauua must
lie re-elected Secretary and Mr. Whitaker
Superintendent. That is the fight these self
constituted leaders of a once proud party
have entered upon, and everything will be
sacrificed to gain that end. These are facts,
and I know it.
How do I know it, you ask. Well, I have
some very warm friends in the Democratic
party, upon whom I can rely for Inside in
formation. In all my communications to
your columns I have not yet violated their
confidence nor disclosed their identity, and
as a result they have no hesitancy in giving
me the tip. This is the source from which I
get my information, in stating that every
candidate on the Democratic ticket for School
Board with but two exceptions, mark you
have pledged themselves to install these two
gentlemen into snug berths. What is more,
one or two candidates were compelled to
withdraw previous to the Democratic prim
aries, becauso they would not stultify
themselves in tho manner demanded
and others who were moro pliable
were brought forth and secured the nomina
tion. These gentleman did not stop hero.
They wore so determined in carrying out
their plans that they went so far as to de-
maud of the present Councilman from tho
Fifth ward, who was a candidate for reuoml-
nation, that he withdraw from the fight and
allow a Slavish resident of that ward to be
substituted. Why? It was thought tho
aforesaid Slavish resident would draw enough
votes from his own people to elect tue Demo
cratic candidate for School Board, whose
weakness is herein acknowledged. The
Democratic leaders had also in contemplation
a shrewd political trick. Had Mr. Onuszcsak
received tho nomination an excellent op
portunity presented itself to trade off the
lattor in the intorest of tho Democratic
candidate for School Board. But liorein lies
a mournful talo for tho leaders. Thoir well
laid plans wero dofoatcd in the nomination
of Couuoilmau Hand, against whom they are
now said to bo secretly contemplating his
defeat at the polls.
V
This is not the only instance, however,
whore the well laid plans of the leaders
missed connection. This was noticeablo In
tho First ward when School Director O'Brien
was defeated for re-nomination. This is Mr.
Hanna's own ward, and he was vory anxious
to givo Mr. O'Brien another term ; iu fact,
all tho prominent loaders of that ward woro
active in his support. But Joseph Coughlin,
the successful candidate, was too much for
thorn, and as a result there is "walling and
gnashing of teeth" in tho Gibraltar of
Democracy. By tho way, Mr. Codghlln
would make an excellent Secretary of the
School Board ; this opinion is discussed quite
frequently among tho Democrats. The defeat
of Mr. Hanna's candidate was a bitter pill
torliis menus, but causes much ghoulish
glee among those opposod to his domination
of the party for personal interests only.
The Second ward ticket is not to the liking
of tho bosses, either. But of this I will
speak later. I have also some interesting in
formation to furnish your readers, especially
those of the Democratic persuasion, of the
manner in which the contest is being con
ducted. It will bo of special Interest to tbo
friends of Candidate Tabor, and will prob
ably open tk,i eyes to a realization of cer
tain ftcts which they are now probably not
awaro of. Truly, this is a most interesting
and in mrny lcspects an unprecedented cam
paign. Kpx.

SENATOR MORGAN'S OBJECTIONS
He Olalms That the Treaty Should Not be
Katiaed Until After th Abregatloa of
the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty, as
England Has Unfair
Advantages.
Washington, Feb. 10. The most im
portant developments concerning the
consideration of the arbitration treaty
by the senate in executive session yes
terday were the offering of an amend
ment by Senator Morgan, of Alabama,
providing for the abiogation of the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty and the speech
by the samp senator in favor of this
proposition. Senator Morgan declared
that the conditions which called forth
the Clayton-rsulwer treaty had long
passed away, it was no longer bind
ing on either nation, nor was it of any
use or value to this nation, though it
might be of great Importance to Great
Britain in case the Nicaragua canal
was constructed. With the treaty now
under consideration he said that no
doubt the question of the abrogation
of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty in ef
fect would have to be submitted to ar
bitration. While the old treaty was
obsolete and disregarded, yet it was
still used as a menace and bugaboo
to the United Slates whenever the con
struction of the Nicaragua canal was
advocated. Great Britain, declared
Senator Morgan, had violated the
treaty, and abrogated It by occupying
a portion of the territory of Honduras.
Great Britain would use the treaty of
arbitration to her advantage, and the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty would be used
in the same way unless it was declared
to be void.
Another important amenlment was
offered by Senator Bacon, of Georgia.
It provider) for a modification of ar
ticle 8 so as to relieve the southern
States from any obligators that might
arise uni'er the bonds issued In the
reconstruction days. The amendment
was the result of a conference among
the southern senators, who concluded
that the article as It now sta.ids mhiht
render it possible to make th?s? bonds
when held by British subjects the ob
ject of arbitration. Mr. Bacon sought
an opportunity to address the senate
on the amendment, but was provented
by the fact that Senator Morgan held
tho floor all day.
When Senator Morgan renewed hln
remarks he stated that the treaty be
fore the senate should be amended no
as to except in definite terms the
Nicaragua canal and everything re
lating to that ehterprisa. He dwelt at
length upon this phase of the treaty.
and read from a number of reports
bearing on the subject, showing the
interest of the United States In that
part of the continent, which the sen
ator declared was more vital than any
treaty that could be made with Great
Britain.
Senator Morgan at 6:30 concluded his
speech, but said he would discuss other
phases of the treaty before a vote wag
reached.
A number of amendments have been
prepared, which will be offered in the
course of the debate. Among them is
one directing that all subjects of arbi
tration must be first submitted to the
president and senate before being sent
to the tribunal provided for In the
treaty. Another exoepts from matters
subject to the treaty the Alaskan
boundary dispute, also any controver
sy as to the boundary line in the
Straits of Fuca, which separate Van
couver Island from Washington state.
The friends of the treaty did not en
ter the debate yesterday. During the
day Senator Teller stated that he want
ed It understood the Bllver men were
not opposing the treaty as silver men
and that no opposition was being made
to it because it affected the silver in
terests. The first two hours of the secret ses
sion were given to a discussion of the
full reports of Monday's secret ses
sion that were printed in the nanere.
Senator "Vest sprang this subject as
soon as the confirmations were dis
posed of. The time was devoted to a
senatorial discussion of the methods
of the modern news seeker, which was
more in the nature of fault finding
man or criticism of their accuracy.
Senator Hill did not fall to take ad
vantage of the opportunity to "point
the moral" aa being that his motion
for open doors should liave been adop
ted.

Andrew Tetrowsky, who keeps a small
grocery on West Centre street, reported- to
day that burglars entered his house last night
and stole $880 in cash. Petrowsky says the
uurgiars raised a window of the kitchen and
were thus enabled to reach the key on tho
inside of the door. Tho money was wrapped
In a piece of cloth and locked in a trunk kept
in a room on the second floor of the house.
The trunk was carried down to the kitchen
and there it was opened. The dining room
door was forced open and entrance gained to
tho store, but only a few pennies were secured
there. The stolen money represented the
proceeds of the sale of Petrowsky's black
smith shop last week. The trunk from which
the mouey was taken was opened with a key.
