huitvred at the Post Uttoe la Temple, Tex,,
ee Second CImb mall matter.
It is a strange, bat a very
true characteristic of man to
delight in having his abuses
paraded and having his ills
held up to public gaze.
There is hardly a speaker
now that indulges in anything
- more than a recapitulation nt
the many ills that are befalling
the people through the many
forms of unjust legislation.

TRAMP MAY RIDE FREE.
Vice President Crocker, of the
Southern Pac'fic, has announced that
his company does not propose to
make any fl„-ht against the hordes of
tramps who are beating their way
westward on troigbt trains. He hns
airived at the conclusion that it is
useless to unload the ticketless tour-
ists. because they get aboard again in
sufficient numbers to overpower Ibe
Iran,men. Therefore Mr. Crocker
bedtves that time can be saved aud
bloodshed averted bv allowing the
tramps to ride as long as they are
peaceable. No proclamation to that
effect has iteen issued from the com-
pany ’s headquarters, bat it is to bo
mutually understood that the train-
men are not to moiest the "hobos” ex-
cept in self defense.
It is likely that the other lines ex-
tending from the Rockies to the Pa-
dfic wiM follow the houthern’s ex-
ample In this respect, it they have
not already done so in a quiet way.

CONSUMPTION IS COMMUNICABLE.
The Miohigan stare board ot health
at iu meeting last ttaturday declared
consumption to be a dangerous
and communicable disease, the same
as dintherla and smallpox, snd di-
rected thst a report of each cue be
made to the board in tbe future. It
is clslmed that the statistics gath-
ered by the beard during the past
twenty-five years demonstrate thai
consumption is communicable, and
consequently preveutinle; also that it
is not hereditary, ouly a predisposi-
tion to the disease being transmit-
ted from parent to child. The board
intends to issue circulars instructing
the muses to isolate all cases ot con-
aumpti o, and to adopt thorough
m ans of disinfection, a process pur-
sued in reference to other diseases of
a communicable nature. Many medi-
cs! uieu have long entertained the
idia expressed by the Michigan
board of health regarding consump-
tion, but that body is the first ot its
kind, we believe, to oificially promul-
t" ga.e its conclusions.—New York
Spectator.
STANDING DICK.
Madison, Iud . Oct. 15.—For many
years, until recently there was a char-
acter confined in the Jefferson county
1’; * poor asylum familiarly known as
^ “Standing DlckTa name given the
man on account ot the pc :uliar habit
ottaking a
road-side near the
standing there all day long. A few
days ago this min, whose name is
Dixon Irvin, was s nt to tbe state in-
sane &s.\ lum at Indianapolis, where
he is at pi esent H was s Union
soldier and is 54 years old. He la a
native of Monroe township, this
county. Thirteeu years ago Mr.
Dsnlel H. Demnree, the present
county treasurer, was appO'utrd his
gnsrdiau by the judge ot Jefferson
county court and he immediately fit
ed a claim for a pension for his

tice that it had beeu allowed at the

Washington, Oct 16 —The Wilson
Voorhe* s repeal bill, or a substitute
therefor will occupy the senate’s ex-
clusive attention this week, but indi-
cations now are tha' it will be the
last week for the present given to
the subject iu the senate. If the
compromise.men don’t encounter un
expected obstacles their subititute
will bo prepared f r introduction by
tho uuddlo ol the week, Jt is part of
the program not to introduce the bill
until tne assurance o suffiriout sup
port to secure its passage is received,
consequently wbeu the hill is once
presented in the senate it will be gen
orally understood the end U m sight
There will be s.rae brief speeches iu
explanation if not in defeuse of the
measure and some longer speeches In
opposition to it, Being a compro-
mise measure it wl.l re; resent no
one naan’s views and It will not be
satisfactory to any one. It will be a
composite picture ot tbe obiuiona ot
Senators Cockrell, Jonas, of Arkan-
sas, Harris, Faulkner, Gornisj, Gray,
Hill aud many other democratic sen-
ators, with a susp shot at tho theo-
i ies of some ol tbe republican sena
tors as well. No more will it be ta-
miliar to or to tbe liking of any one
section ot tho conutry, hut it will
probably go through as introduced
and become a law,
Tho belief is general tbe house will
accept almost any substitute the sen-
ate will adopt and rhe majority in-
cline to the opinion that the president
will sign the bill. There are a great
raauy members of the house who vot
ed for repeal who desire an opportu-
nity to show they are not so antago
nisticto sUver as tbe.r former votes
would iudicate. '1 hey also want the
questiou settled. There is also a gen-
era1 belief that when the bill is once
signed there will he a speedy move-
ment in cmgress looking re a recess
until the beginning of tbe regular
session the first Monday in Decem-
ber,
HOUSE FORECAST.
Washington, Oct. 15.—Several im-
portant matters figure in <he house
horoscope the coming week. The
McCreary bill to extend the provis
ions of tho Geary act for six months
will go to a vote to-morrow and wiU
undoubtedly pass by a largo majori-
ty despite the opposition of the Pa-
cific coast members,
It is hardly probable that either o
tho amendments « ffered by Mr. Gea-
ry will carry, although the possibtli
ty of tho one requiring photo-
graphic identification, aud possibly
the one defining a ('niuere merchant
may secure the support of a minor
ity.
Tbe McCreary bill will bo followed
by the Cox bill to preveut bank di-
rectors or officials from drawing mon-
ey out of the institutions with which,
they are connected. This bill, too
seems to have the sentiment of the
house behind it.
