THE TRAMP QUESTION.

4 convention was held in Baltimore
a couple of weeks ago, composed Of
some of the wisest and most distinguish
ed men of the State of Maryland to
consider the tramp question, and if pos
sible to devise means for the suppression
of the nuisance, if nuisance it can be
called. They propose to ask the'Leg-
islature of Maryland, which met in
Annapolis on Wednesday, to enact the
necessary repressive laws. The con-
vention debated several propositions to
punish men found on the highways of
the State seeking employment, making
no distinction between the worthy and
the unworthy. One gentleman-a dele
gate from Hartford county-proposed
that the State should import bulldogs
TO watch the tramps, and make each
farmer a present of one. Of course
this enlightened and human proposition
was not entertained, but it is only
type of the ideas held on the subject by
several members Of the body. In fact
the convention seemed to be very much
ut sea, and, although there was multi
,ude of councillors there did not seem
TO be much wisdom. They did not at
temp. to explain or seek for the cause
of the disease which they wished to
cure, but sought simply for means TO
suppress an admitted evil. They forgot
10 notice that which seems apparent TO
casual and possibly less enlightened OBJ
servers of the times, that our great
capitalists are much to blame for the
sad condition in which We find our
working classes. They have withdrawn
10 a large extent theirmcans from active
industrial pursuits from factories, ship
yards, founderies, &c.,-and invested
them in bonds, State, national and city,
us being safer and less troublesome t"
look after than where used in the usual
business channels. Added to this ma
chinery in all its varied forms has stepp-
ed in to take the place OF the man who
is now denounced as ''tramp, and
who once honestly earned his bread by
the sweat of his brow. 1t may be ''old
foryish" to say so, but this last propo-
si,ion we fear has had more to Go with
the bringing about Of our present un-
happy condition than even the first. If
the idea could only take hold of our
capitalists that it is better to promote
the industries of the country, although
perhaps attended with little more risk,
than to look altogether to safety OF IN
yestment, the question as TO tramps
will be measurably answered. First
and above all find employment for the
people now appealing in vain for work.
When that is done and We still find
ourselves annoyed by men tramPing
from pillar TO post, it will be time
enough 70 pass stringent laws for the
suppression of real tramps and vaga-
bonds generally. BY all means let us
try to improve the condition of our peo-
pile by giving them the opportunity TO
help themselves. Then the man who
wont work should be made to suffer for
his own unworthiness.

BARSUM CoMlSG.-The veteran prin &C
Of showmen brings his great show to
Wheeling on Friday, September Is. His
exhibition tent seats 10000 persons and it
is generally filed wherever he goes, for
his show is better, larger and moro mag
nificent this year than ever. The New
York Times says:
Barnums great company gave its first
appearance in this city yesterday after
noon. 1t is certainly, without a doubt,
the grandest and most complete atfair that
ever pitched tents in this city, as the vast
and enthusiastic concoIrse Of people who
witnessed the performance will readily
attest. One can have but faint concep-
ton OF the wonderful performance Of the
world.renowned Trakene stations and
their inimitable trainer, Mr.. Carl Antony,
who has spent much time in training
these beautiful animals for the arena.
The daring actso equestrianism by Alessrs.
Charles W. Fish, Charles Reed and VIII
liam Morgan, Mrs. james Cooke, Misses
Jennie Watson and Katie Stokes, hold the
audience spell.bounh. Mile. VGlleier, the
lady with theiron jaw, electrified the audi
ence with her tents, prominent among
which was being drawn up by rope,
held in her teeth, to the very top Of the
great tent. The attention Of the spectators
was riyeted upon her rs she swung back
ward and forward. Among the many
other wonderful acts was the double SOM
ersault OF Mr.. John Bachelor over the
backs OF six elephants. a daring and
dangerous act, was tho riding OF William
Morgan. The great, clumsy bears are very
funny on horseback and create much
laughter. The monageric iscrowded with
rare curiositics and Is in itself worth the
price OF admission. There can no seen the
queer giraffe, the burly rhlnoceros, the
Arctic Sea lion, 200 apes, balloons and
monkeys, with host OF other animals and
birds Of every cline. Besides these there
Is the tattooed Greek, wonderful sight;
Colonel Goshen, the elght.fOoter, and nu-
merous mechanical wonders. This de-
partment Is complete, and the whole can
be truly called the greatest show on earth.
A visit to the menagerie dlscloses the fact
that every cage contains some rare speci.
mon Of the animal kingdom. Truly this Il
the greatest show on earth"
None should fail to SEQ Il and the grand
street pageant. Tickets and reserved seats
maybe had by those who wish to avoid
the crowd at McLain's drug store. daw

AssrdxMExr.-Nfany OF our citizens were
surprised yesterday to learn that Mr.. John
Lash, a well known Main street jeweller,
had made an assignment. Being q prac.
tiCal workman, a man OF emincntly good
habits, making no display, he seemed to
be pushing along the commercial highway
quietly, modestty, and, it was thought,
securely. Commencing few years ago
with nothing but his skill and integrity he
gradually worked up good business in q
retail way, and was slowly but surely ac-
quiring a competency. In 1873, however,
that worst OF all years for new ventures,
Mr.. Lash ventured into the wholesale
trade. With the constantly increasing
hard times he found hiuself accommodating
bad debts from the entire failure OF some
OF his customers, and the dilatorincss Of
others in settling their bills. Hetherefore
concluded to make IN assignment for the
benefit OF his creditors. He preferred 10
give up all his property rather than take
advantage OF the bankrupt law. Mr.. Lash
informs us that his liabilities are about
eight thousand dollars, and thinks that his
assets, II not sacrificed, will enable him to
settle with his creditors in full rnearly so.
We should be glad to see him have fair
chance.
