been poor for some time and his mind cor
reSpondingly weak, but no seriously symp-
toms developed until yesterday afternoon
when he was seized with fit of murderous
frenzy. He made numerous threats that
he would kill his wife and family but no
effort was made to restrain him until he
got hold of a revolver and made furious
attack upon them. He was seized and dis
armed before he could do any shooting.
When the revolver was taken from him he
made a rush for a razor and tried to cut
his throat. Again being restrained he be-
came so furious that the neighbors had to
be called in. A messenger was sent to the
police station and the patrol wagon was
dispatched to bring him in He was very
violent and had to be restrained to prevent
him njuring himself and Others He was
placed in the insane ward in the county

| Unrcgcnernte Thieves Rob Room of
Mood Intcnhch for the Poor.


FoOd Intended for the Poor.
The members of the local organization of
the American Volunteers are putting in a lit
tie extra time praying for some totally de-
praved thieves who made it impossible to
carry out extensive plans for the relief
of number of poor families in the city.
On Christmas afternoon the Volunteers gave
a free dinner to the poor children and poor
people of the city. They engaged a large
room on the ground floor on Broadway not
far from their headquarters and spread
tables that fairly groaned under their weight
of substantial food No restrictions were
put upon their guests, and all who came
were permitted to eat all their stomachs
could contain. During the afternoon they
fed 450 men, women and children. For sew
eral weeks prior the Volunteers had been
collecting the food for this feast. Their
efforts were crowned with extraordinary
success and they had great deal more food
than they required to feed the small army
on Christmas day. Their plan was to pre-
pare all of the remaining food for general
distribution among poor families they had
discovered many of whose members were
unable to reach the hall for the Christmas
dinner. The food was packed away in the
rear part of the barracks, together with the
baskets in which IL was to be distributed.
Saturday afternoon and yesterday were the
days fixed for the distribution but when
the members met In their hall to carry the
food away they found their larder swept and
bare. Unregenerate thieves had broken
open a rear door during the previous night
and had carried away everything in sight
Not even an empty basket was left. As
consequence many families who expected
good dinner yesterday went hungry,

The veto power has been used to thwart the
viii OF the people as expressed by their repre-
entatives in Congress. The appointive power
has been used to subsidize the press. TO debauch
Congress and to overawe and control citizens
IN the Tree exercise of their political rights as
voters. plutocratic despotism is thus sought
to be established on the ruins of the Republic.
We repudiate the construction placed on the
financial plank of the last Democratic National
Convention by President Cleveland and Secre-
tery Carlisle as contrary to the plain meaning
OF English words, and as being an act of bad
faith deserving the severest censure.
The issue of bonds in time of peace with

Bailey and Bryan to Enter Protest
Against the Wording of Clause
in the Plank.

CHICAGO, ILL, July S.-During the
evening Representative Bailey of Texas
and Mr. Bryan of Nebraska entered a pro-
test against the wording of the last clause
of the money plank which refers to legal
tender money. The sentence is regarded
by them as weak and misleading, and
they understand that many OF the silver
men oppose it on those grounds. 1t was
this disagreement among the silver men
that caused the adjournment tonight 1t
is hopeo an agreement can be speedily
reached tomorrow, but the indications are
that the committee will be in session for
perhaps several hours.
Senator Tillman, according to the pro-
gramme, will open the debate on the
platform and will be followed by Senator
Jones. Senator Hill will submit the mi
nority report and reply to these gentle
men. The debate, according to an under
standing between Hill and Jones, has been
limited to two hours. But it may take a
wider range and set at naught any agree
ment that has been made.

Tumult Caused by the Outpourine

CHICAGO, ILL, July s.-The first de-
monstrations of the Democratic Nation al
Convention of 1886 occurred in the Coli
scum tonight. They were the outpour-
ings of the pent up feelings of the silver
and gold wings of the party. The scenes
were full of color. They were heroic in
character.
1t was all over the contest in the Michi
gan delegation. There were majority and
minority reports from the committee on
credentials, and the champions of the two
factions urged the Endorsement of their re-
spective recommendations in outbursts of
fevered oratory.
The majority report recommended the
seating of the contestants from Michigan.
and the minority report declared in favor
of the persons already seated. After hours
of bitter derunciation from both sides q
rollcall was ordered, and when New York
was reached a great cheer went up from
the vast throng,

law, and said:

under an International agreement. if it be
possible to procure it-and for which every
exertion should be made-and II not pos

This is the one great goal for which we
should strive. 1t cannot be done at once.

Louis Convention, while in this big hall
which will easily seat 1900 people, there
are not more than 400. However. THE
CALL staff have been treated well, because
they have succeeded in obtaining four
seats, while the Examiner and the Chron-
icle were allowed but two each, a visible
indication of the respective circulation and
influence of the Chronicle and Examiner
as compared with the circulation and in
huence of THE CALL.
Two new free shows of the dime museum
order have been opened on State street,
within block of the Palmer House, at a
very expensive rental. The names of
these are blazoned in incandescent lights
over their respective entrances-the New
York Journal and the Cincinnati En-
quirer. The vacant store occupied by the
Journal is used for the purpose of an exhi-
bition-room of quaint-colored posters ad-
vertising the Sunday Journal, and large
room partitioned off in the rear contains
the real features of the museum-the
writer's for that paper, of whom there are
probable a score. After the horribly ugly
women who throng the sidewalks on State
street every day have examined the
posters they stand at the door of the inner
room and gaze with ill-concealed admira-
ton at the classic features and the Van
dyke beard of Ned Hamilton of San Fran
cisco, who sometimes does his writing
there. Nothing obstructs the view of
passers-by from the staff of the Cincinnati
Enquirer. The writers extend from the
show-window to the rear of the room,

eyes, whose shafts pierce through the
plate-glass windows and tempt the good,
pious, gentle, modest reporters to blush.
This placing newspaper writer's on pub
lie exhibition is suggestive of freak de-
partment In dime museum. It is done
for the purpose of advertising the news
papers which resort to this store-renting
habit. l think that the columns of the
newspaper itself. the quantity and quality
of matter which 1t contains, its reputation
for reliability and integrity, are the best,
the most rational and successful advertise
ment that a newspaper could have. If this
plan of giving away bicycle to the pur-
chaser of each box of matches is persisted
in some of the sensational journals win
will soon be offering reporter free to each
subscriber.

are going to vote for Mckinley because
they want to have the Mckinley bill in

but hard times since Cleveland and the
rest of the Democrats got into power" l
gave this weeping Democrat copper cent
for tip.
Senator Hill made his fret appearance
ia the convention to-day, at the opening
of the evening session at 5 O'Clock. He
must have felt fattered at the applause
bestowed upon him. After having thrown
man into the soup it is magnanimity
and good politics to stroke him on the
back and compliment him on being fine

IndOrsem mant

CHICAGO, LII. July 8.-When the
report of the committee on resolutions is
made to the convention minority report
will be also presented indorsing the
financial policy of the Cleveland admins
tration. The report will be very short

plank. 1t declares for the existing
standard and indorses the calling together
of an international monetary conference.
To this Senator TilIman of South Caro-
lima will offer an amendment and address
the convention upon it. Senator Tillman' IS
amendment is in these words:
We denounce the administration OF Presi-
dent Cleveland as un-Democratic and tyranical
and as departure from those principles which
are cherished by ali liberty-loying Americans.
