Five Tramps Who Demanded Pie or Blood

The Dubuque Iowa) "Telegraph" says
At an early hour Tuesday afternoon
crowd Of tramps, five in number, invaded
the front yard of Mrs. John Walters resi-
dence, and after tramping down all tbe
grass, breaking the bushes and plucking
the fruit from the trees, they plauked
themselves before Mrs. Waller's front door
and demanded food
mo bread for us" said one. "We
want pie, or cake, or blood"
Mrs. Waller who is kind-hearted lady,
Immediately went to her larder and never
worked harder to find each doggy bone.
When their appetites were appeased, the
tramps took possession of the best and soft
est furniture in the house and held it down
five straight hours, until three more of the
army arrived. And then all fell to having
a big time.
Mrs. Waller could not get rid of them,
and the evening, what remained of it, was
allowed to speed on wings of pleasantuess.
Cake, cream and ice water helped to do
the refreshing for the "surprise party"
who did no further mischief.

DEATH OF A GIANT.

The Newcastle (England) Chronicle
gives the particulars of the death Of
w liam Campbell landlord of the
"Duke of Wellington" q pub i !;
house at High Bridge, Newcastle,
and widely known ms the Scottish
giant" who died at that establish
ment on May 26. He had been i.l
about ten days, and the cause of his
death was congestion of the lungs,
the result of a cold. The decel sed
was % years of age, and was born
in Glasgow in 1885,. He weighed
72S pounds, and was six feet three
inches high. rs
For giaEt he lived in somewhat
circumscribed quarters, and it was
ut first thought that il would be nee
essary to remove the roof to get in
his coffin, but finally a window was
enlarged and the difficulty solved.
How to get it and the dead giant out
was the next problem, as the two
weighed nearly half ton. At last
a derrick was procured, and they
were hoisted out. Forty thousand
people witnessed the funeral, and
the browning scene at the grave was
disgraceful.

THAT sensational report, which
was sent broadcast throughout the
country some days ago, to the effect
that "all the car-wheels in the United
States" would comeito standstill
ct noon on Monday has not been
verified. 1t is now learned that the
"Communistic leader" who set the
startling report afloat was drunk at
the time. The only labor strike re-
ported is that of few grain.shovel-
ers ia the elevators at Buffalo. The
fact is, we take it, that every labor
ing man Of common sense in the
United States feels that, in view of
the hard times, he is fortunate that
he has an opportunity to earn any
thing like decent livelihood, and is
not disposed to quarrel with Fate,
when the chances would be that Fate
would get the better of him.

talking him up as their Presidential

gathered from all parts of the Union.

CAPITAL NOTES.

Office during the last few weeks than
usual, and : dearth Of anything Of
interest to write about must be
accepted as an apology for my do
linqucncy Of late as corresponding
editor of the TRIBUNE.
The four days special session Of
the Legislature enlivened this apa-
thetic place for the time, and afford
ed o little matter for discussion in
the hotels, state effces and corner
groceries. With conmendable wis.,
dom the Legislature made no pre-
tense of considering or revising the
statutes, to pass which the special
session was necessary. The revision
being the result of two or three
years labor OF a Commission of legal
gentlemen, revised by o special
Legislative committee during the in
term between the regular session
of last winter and this special scs-
sion, it certainly ought to be in such
good shape as to render improve
ment by tinkering Of the Legislature
impossible. OF course the amount
of good accomplished or to be de-
rived from this work can only be de-
termined by test and time. BY some
minds there is . doubt whether its
advantages will prove commensurate
with its cost (which will aggregate
by the time the revision goes into
effect probably little less than sl0,-
OOO), but that q revision and codia-
cation of our multitudinous and
cumbrous State laws was an urgent
necessity oil must agree.
The lecture by Rev. Joseph Cook,
on The conundrum, "Does Death End
ALP" drew q large and intelligent aud
fence. 1t was strong argument for
the negative Of the question, but
little too thickly studded with unfa
miliar scientific terms to be fully
by the average mind.
1t has been pleasure to meet here
lately, DR.. Vivian, Joseph Bennett
of Dodgeville. Hon. VIM. Robinson,
OF Moscow, Rev. NJ. Benson and
DR.. James Brown, the latter en- route

Benefits mission was to secure the
passage of q law legalizing their acts
as Fund Commissioners in settling
II. II. bond claims, in which they
were entirely successful. Mr.. Rob-
irson is here as juror in the U. S.
District Court.
The Dane County Board Of Su-
pervisors have appropriated $4,000

The University is about closing
for the Summer vacation. many OF
the students having passed the ex-
animation have already gone. The

THE House of Representatives
has adopted resolution to appoint
. committee to sit during the recess
OF Congress-, to investigate the
causes of the present depressed con-
dition of labor and industry, and
to recommend remedies therefor.
They have big job on hand, and
AS regards the conclusions to be a.
rived at, it will depend altogether
on the peculiar predjudices or pro-
clivities of the committeeman
Should they be political Greenback-
ers, they would absnrdly report that
shortage of currency is the cause,
aud illimitable issue Of irredeemable
paper money the remedy. Should
they be Socialists they would re
port that the fact that some people
are more fortunate than others
is the cause, and that All impos-
sible leveling process, by which
everybody who has something shall
be compelled to divide it all with
those who have nothing, is tho
remedy. But, on the other hand,
should the committee be wisely con-
stituted-not of ignoramuses aud
blatherskites, but of men of brains
and solid sense-good might come
OF it. The probability is, however,
that before Congress shall reassem-
Die next Winter, the "hard times
will in great measure have disap-
peared, and then NOBODY will then
care what Ganscd them.

The House of Representatives has
ct last had the good sense to discov-
er what has been apparent to intel
ligent people all along, that the Pot
ter investigation il completefailure;
that the further it proceeds the more
1t shows up the edo, Is of Mr.. Tilden
to purchase enough electoral votes
to place him in the White House.
and that there is not an iots OF proc
TO connect the President with any
Legitimate transaction. Tammany
saw the point some time ago, but it
takes longer for the Democratic ma
jority il the House to learn anything.
However the resolution reported by
the Judiciary Committee has been
adopted by vote of 2l5 to 81. This
Is step in the right direction, but
1t would have been worth more to
the Democracy had they taken it at
first, and not under pressure of pub
lie opinion, and when it was seen
that its passage would make no diff
ference in the case, one way or other.
