That's What's the Matter with
TFamps.


Some recently presented rhetoric IL wor-
thy of more than passing remark. John
Kelly said in a speech the other night /:
I'VE do not want fine speeches; they are
like skyrockets-they strike upon the ear
and pass Off" Deacon Smith, OF Cincinnati,
has been considering the tramp question,
and writes upon it with his usual popular
effect, as witness: ''Superinduced cerebral
uDeasiness, without a counter-balance OF
digested and assimilated knowledge, and
a memory plethoric with the husks OF
vapid erudition, constitute the proper re-
ceptacle for those half idea and one-sided
which impregna,e men with
the belief that they are in advance Of the
age in which they live, and were born to
be the renovators of society and the har-
bingers of a new dispensation." And that
somehow or another il what is the matter
with tramps.

THE PROBATE HINGE

Newton Mann, the Republican candidate
Tor Probate Judge, was indiscreet enough
TO make speech at Laing's Hall on the
Monday evening preceding the election
that was low, coarse, malicious, false and
personal. The effect of it was to lose him
many votes. He was backed by few ma
iignant shysters whose personal prejudioes
and hates inspired their coarse and unsen
tlemanly conduct. Judge Mann made q
gross blunder in throwing aside the digni-
ty, the truth and the courtesy which should
attach to anyone holding a judicial posi-
tion, and associating with the brutal and
ruffianly element. 1t cost him his election.

RETTER LEARN NEW TRADE.

In the 10Th and 10th Districts, George
I. Anthony's Republican friends used all
their power and influence to defeat the Re-
publican candidates for the Legislature.
They succeeded in one and failed in the
other. The partisans OF George 7. made ev-
erything bend TO his interests, and thus
aided in the defeat OF two OF our County
candidates. The bolter has been supported
by office for the past twelve years. lie

THE GOLDFISH QUEsTuON.

The Toronto Globe in discussing the
fisheries award question and the dispatch
OF Secretary Evarts.. in regard 10 the as.
sault early in the year in Newfoundland
waters upon fleet of American fishing
vessels. takes the ground that the Ameri.
can Government should first pay the award
OF five million dollars before demanding
an adjustment Of violated rights and priv
ileges. In his note Secretary Evarts
intimates that the award will not be paid
unless there is disavowal from the British
Government of the paramount authority
of provincial legislation In regulating the
inshore operations OF American fishermen.
From this it would appear that the time
for the payment of the award may 60 by
without transfer of money to British
Golfers.

Later returns confirm the opinion ex-
pressed yesterday morning that Tuesday s
elections had resulted in important Re-
publican gains in many parts of the coun-
try. 1t is impossible yet 10 know The full
extent of the gam in Congressman, but suf-
ficient is known TO show that we have gain
ed at least ten or twelve members of the
lover House, with fair prospect OF three
or four others, and have insured the cleo
tion of MIR. Conkling from New York, and
a Republican Senator in place OF a Demo-
crat from Connecticut.

STARVING TO DEATH.
>sN Weeks Without >I-ep and Two
Without Water.

Conrad Knapp, the man who l. starving
bim-elf 10 death, is a resident of keokuk,
and has been for the past twenty-five years.
For a number of years he has been employ
ed in the Keokuk and Des Moines car
shops at Keokuk. Nothing unusual was
noliced in him until it was announced that
the Rock Island Railroad had leased the
.okuk and Des Moines, and the probabil
ity was that the shops would be removed
from keokuk. This seemed to add to Con
RAIDS troubles, and it began to be noticed in
the shops that he acted very queerly His
fingers were always in motion, and he SEEM
ID To be constantly figuring. He grew
worse, and finally it got 70 that it took him
three days TO do a job Of work which he
used to do in as many hours. He Jagged
so in his work that he was discharged
about six weeks ago, and then he became
COW inced that his family were destined to
die by starvation. Four weeks ago, when
invited TO sit down to the table, he refused,
saying that there would not be enough TO
keep the family, and from that time To this
day he has eaten nothing. except during
the first week an apple occasionally. For
the past three weeks he has
tasted absolutely no food at all, and for the
last twelve days not drop of wateror any
thing in liquid shape has passed betaeen
his lips. DIR. Weismsn, who is an old
friend of knapp's, has been attending him,
and has endeayored to coax him to take
some medicine, but he firmly refuses, and
when pressed upon this point, or to drink
or partake OF food, he gets up an dleav
the room.
For six weeks he has not laid down in a
bed, and has had scarcely twenty four hours
sleep in all that time. He sits up in
chair, and occasionally, through sheer tx
haustion, will fall into a doze, but he soon
wakes up, and is as immOvable in his pur-
pose TO starve himself to death as ever
Every conceivable means has been used 10
induce him to take food, SIP water, or take
medicine, but all ~'thout avail lie re-
maiIs firm in his 5riusal, and persists in
say ing that it is fate the fate of the fsmi-
ly 10 starve, and that the rest will follow
him soon enough.
There is an evident softening OF the brain,
yet he remembers and readily recognizes
his friends and occurrences that happened
years ago.
lie is not large man, only medium siz.,
and his long fast has emaciated him fear
fully, and his body begins to emit sicken-
ing order, so strong iln fact as to be almost
unbearable to those who have not been ac-
cusiomed to being in his presence. He Is
haunted with fear that the men he owes
about town are in search Of him and want
to put him in the calaboose, and will sit by
the window ali day narrowly scanning al!
