The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1886-09-29

TIE home rulers of Ireland have at
last determined upon a course that
should have been pursued by Irish
leaders many years ego. They have
determined to 90 out among the En-
glish people and tell them the story
OF Ireland's wrongs and acquaint them
with the nature of Ireland's demands.
They are going to try and make con-
verts of them to home rule, to per-
suade them that in justice and fair
ness the Irish people should be per-
mitted to govern themselves through
a Parliament OF their own, sitting in
the old houge yet standing in College
Green, Dublin. This is sensible and
great work. 1t is almost herculesn
task to attempt to undo what the Irish
tories have done in England through
centuries, to remove the imprf ssion
OF hate, the depth aud strength of
which may easily be fathomed by the
speeches OF Churchill and Salisbury.
But the constant dropping OF water
VIII wear away stone, and 30 the
story 30 pathetic may sof en- the great
public heart of EogIand end bring it
TO demand that English representa-
tives shall vote to grant Irishmen tie
fame rights and liberties as English
men enjoy. 1t is a noble task, an
almost heroic one, that these Irish
leaders have undertaken, and the
progress they make in it will be eager
ly watched by the civilized world,
which outside Of England is a unit for
lreland's freedom.

DECLARED INSANE BEYOND Pos.
sIBLE RECOVERY.
After All His Great Successes ON the
Stage He Dies a Pauper, LeaV.
ing Nothing for His wife.

NEW York, September 2S.-Com-
missioner DR.. Matthew Chalmers and
Sheriff 3 jury heard the testimony in
regard to the mental condition of Bart.
ley Campbell, the playwright, who is
now confined in Bloomingdale Asylum.
DIR. Charles F. Nichols, the superin.
tendent OF The Bloomingdale Asylum,
testified that Mr.. Campbell was admit.
ted to the asylum as patient May
18th. In his opinion the pa lent was
incu,ab!e. His specific complaint
was general psres's. 1t was a typicsl
case, and manifested itself in paraly-
sis OF the vital organs and
lower limbs. Mr.. Oampbsll was
able to talk go as 10 be understood
and could walk with assistance. His
digestion was good and appetite nor.
mai. His weight was the same as
when admi ted to the asylum. Mr..
Campbell was subject to the decisions
of the most common kind. Ellis fan
cies," continued the doctor, wary
greatly. This afternoon / saw him
and asked him how his head was. To
this he replied that his head was excel
lent, that he should live forever and
had lived from the foundation of the
world. This sugges ed the name
of Adam, and he branched off on the
subject of the celebrated members
of the Adams family in this country.
Mr.. Campbell believed that he re-
ceived specific communication from
Shakespeare, Alexander, Bismarck
and King Humbert. He imagined
that he frequently conversed with
Queen Victoria, and that he had Wis
itsd heaven and saw great men there,
Oncs be fancied that Oliver Cromwell
was in his stomach and went around
holding it up with both hands on &C.
count of the supposed load"
The doctor concluded by saying that
Mr.. Campbell would never again be
able to attend to business or to recoI.
er his senses.
Jesse Larrabe, attorney for Mr..
Campbell in his business affaira, testi-
fed that his client had leaseho d in
terest in the Fourteenth Street Thea
ter, which was in litigation. He also
owned two housea in Eighty.fist
street, valued at $45 600, which were
mortgaged for sS9,5OO, and unpaid
taxes aud interest had accumulated
until the equity on foreclosure pro-
ceedings was almost va'ueless. Mr..
Campbe|ps plays were in litigation also
for the benefit o. creditors. Nothing
was left for MIS- Csmpbell's support,
as the creditors had seized everything.
The jury, after consultation, returned
verdict that Mr.. Campbell was men
tally incapable of attending to his
affairs.

the primo pals in an affair of honor
just beyond the State line Of Arkan-

SENATOR DAN VOORHEES,, OF Indiana,
says he looks for Cleveland's renomi-
nation by the Dsmo crsts in 1888, but
that Blaine will not be his opponent.
He Gays that Mr.. Blsine's failure to
press his libel suit in Indiana has
destroyed his hold on the Republicans

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR
COMING GENERAL ASSEMBLY AT
RICHMOND, VA.
No Doubt of POWderly's Reelection
Chicago AnarchistS-The
Home Club.

PITTsBURa, Pa, September 2S-In
speaking OF the coming General AS
sembly of the Knights Of Labor, which
nee IS at Richmond, Va, on Octobsr
4th, ex-Grand Secretary R. D. Lay on
Of this city, said today that among the
imrortant questions to be considered
will be change in the basis of rep
resentatiun. Toe convention at Rich
mond will be attended by possibly 500
delegates, who will represent 100000
members of the order. Said he: An
effort will be made to establish basis
30 as to prevent the meeting OF such
an unwieldy mars as will be present
this year. AT present the basis OF repre-
sentatiOn is one to 1000 m mbers or
major fraction. The districts should bs
represented in the ratio Of one to 5000
members. The members would then
be ss well represented and the bust.
ness could be better and more rapidly
transacted than by the present system.
Another important question that will
receive more favor than at any prsvi-
Gus convention will be the necessity
Of organizing by States. At present
the district and local assemblies
throughout the country throw an i'm
mense amount of woIk into the Office
Of the general secretary and treasurer.
That could all be done by giving the
Master Workman of each State en-
larged powers, and also making him a
member of the General Executive
Board. That or something closely
similar will be adopted at the conven-
ton. The convention must either de-
eide upon that plan or the General
Executive Board must bs enlarged
and certain portion of the work laid
out for each member OF the board. he
to attend to that territory directly.
In regard to strikes the member
ship OF the order is beipg impressed
with the idea that arbitration must bs
a unit, not only in theory, but in
practice. Powderly will bs the GAN
eral Master WoIkn an as long az he |
wants it, and he will accept the offics |
again.
The Home Club will plead not |
guilty to the charges that have been |
made against it. They have voted |
against Pewderiy, but whether they |
will continue to do 80 is a question.
From my correspondence with Chi
cago members Of the Knights OF labor
l am led to believe that the question
OF the anarchists who have been SEN
tencsd TO be hanged will be brought
before the convention by the delegs-
ton from that city. Il will be asked
that the convention inquire into the
business of The sentenc3e. These an
will have plenty OF friends in
the convention, and their cass will be
advocated by men who are not dyra-
miters and who do not believe in ay-
mantle. An effort will be msde 10 get
an expression Of sentiment in favor Of
these men.

ilton were today put on trial in this
city on a charge of murd II, in causing
the death OF John Ca ueron on the
10Th of May last, on hill hear Hart

was testified that he deceased received
a fatal injury in the head in a friendly
sparripg match with Archibald White
when they We're both ugder the IN
fluence OF liquor, and that Hamilton

The commonwealth has commended
that Archibald was to be held respon-
sible for the killing beeause it occurred
in the performance Of an unlawful act.
After the evidence was all in, Archi-
bald. under the advice of counsel,
pleaded guilty to manslaughtsr, and
the case against Hamilton was aban-
doned. In view OF the peculiar cir
cumstances arising, Archibald was
sentenced to undergo an imprison-
ment of four months and two weeks

suggestions From Tennessee.

New York Star: Nothing more de-
liciously exbilarating than the present
Gubernatorisl camp Ago 10 Tennessee
has ever come within our political ex-
periences. The manner in which the
Taylor brothers are cauvassing that
State; their breezy way of going arm
in arm to the various meetings; the
innocent pride they take in each
other; their punctilious mutual re-
spect; the affectionate fury with
which they assail one another's party
convictions, and the jealous vigilance
with which each watches for and re-
sents the smallest indigniy shown to
the other-thess are features quite
without precedent in political contests
Of which we have any knowledge. 1t
is no exagReration 10 lay that the
whole country is looking Oh with an
emotion composed equally OF amuse-
ment aud delight, and that the victori-
Gus gladiator IN this unique combat
will be hailed with unfe gued Joy by
men Of all oarties aud fractional sub
divisions But while these iocund
brotbers are thus conducting their
own immediate rivalry, are they
not at the same time citing the ex-
ample Of another and better
fashion for us al2 Why ehould
not every campaign be as k ndly and
as courteous as theirs has teenP Why
should not opposing candidates be just
and generous toward esch other? And
why cannot all this be achieved with
out abatement of earnes ness or COM
promise of principle GA either side?
Why, indeed? 1t seems to US, in fact,
that every useful end would be pro-
NOTED by such means. The people
would have presentations Of public
questions unclouded by passion, and
they could form their estimates of pub
lie men with fairness and intelligence.
Under such system the tone OF politi-
cal contests would be elevated, the at
mosphere would be cleared. And it
would soon come to pass that no man
OF evil record and ignoble aims would
dare to face the searching earnestness
OF popular inquiry for nothinRis more
certain than that bad men are the
bene6ciaries and bad government the
fruit OF ignorance and pref and
rancor in politics. Tennessee has Of.
fered a valuable suggestion in most
joyous and attractive guise. Let us
C Jnsider it.

WE learn from the Lancaster Iateli-
gencT, that disgustel by their failure
to secure a place on the ticket for
Stephen P. Gipson, the candidate
of the colored people for the Seventh
Legislative District, they held a mass
meeting in Philadelphia Friday night
and passed resolutions bitterly de-
nouncing the Republican party; set
ting forth in language that shows by
its vigor that it is the flame of Just
wrath long controlled, that for
faithful services they have re.
ceived contempt. As the IntelIiOencer
says: "The failure OF the republican
party to reinforce quarter of a CEN
tury of talk about the rights of the
colered man to representation, by pro-
viding him with an occasional sample
OF the article, is at last beginning TO
have its natural effect"

WHAT wAs IT ZINC SNsser JournaL of

WHAT WAS IT ?-The SUSSEX Journal of
last Saturday containing the following:
" Burton Wilkins, Henry Wilkins and
John Wilkins, living near Georgetown,
met with strange adventure while return
ing from Milford one night last week
With their three teams they had helped to
move the goods of Rev. j. G. Kerr to the
latter town and were coming back with
their wagons unloaded, when, at point of
the road exactly in front of McColley's
Chapel the head team, driven by John
Wilkins suddenly stopped. Wilkins ap-
piled the whip and the horses apparently
did their best to start the wagon, but all to
no avail. When the horses applied their
strength to pull the wagon the wheels would
revOlve backward and the wagon would
not bulge an inch. Wilkins finding it i'm
possible to start his team alighted from his
wagon, when suddenly some strange un-
seen power threw him to the ground. He
arose with all possible speed and after re-
covering from his surprise again urged his
horses forward, when they started the wag-
on without any apparent trouble and con-
tinued their Journey toward Georgetown.
The three men are at a loss to account for
this strange experience which they have
related to several residents of Georgetown.
As their wagons were empty and the
road at that point was in moderately
good condition they attribute the stopping
of their horses and the throwing of John
wilkins to the ground to some extraordi-
nary power Some superstitiOus persons
have suggested that there is money buried
in that locality; others think that an
earthquake shock was the cause of the
strange experience The three Wilkinses
are reg arded as reliable men"
