fecuve and the soil pipes leaky about
the joints, particularly near the base
ment floor, where pool of sewage
now stands. The facilities for personal
cleanliness are inadequate. The ven

JACKSON, Mich, Oct. 20.-John Gar
vey, a deaf convict, has become insane
aud he believes some one is after him
continually. A night or two ago, he
slashed himself In the arm quite badly,
but his method is believed to be an i'm
provement over the usual one OF the
insane convicts who generally slash
some one else or break their heads.
There is no doubt in the minds Of those

among them, that there are at least
fifty insane convicts In the prison. 1t
is only question of time when they
will break loose and kill somebody.

Mr.. SPRINGER, in his Wednesday
night speech in Hartman's hall, said
that the plank in the democratic plat
form favorIng a repeal of the ten per
cent tax on the circulation Of state
banks "is merely an expression of dis
appreciation of the exercise of the tax
ing power of the general government
to interfere with the several rights of
the state" These are precisely the
words be used in his speech At Alton,
Ill. "This is the same old doctrine
which the boys in blue shot TO death
on the battlefields of the republic"
SAYS ex- Governor J. B. Foraker. 1t is
idle for the democrats to dodge the
great blunder they made when they
incorporated that plank in this plat
form. 1t means a return to wildcat"
currency. and no amount of work can
give II different meaning.
