Shed

UuprOvOked Murder.

On Saturday morning a colored man
whose clothing indicated that he was
either hod carrier or bricklayer, enter.
ed the grocery store of Carlo lsola, 7l4
south Seventh street, Philadelphia
called for two segars. Isola did not
have the kind the stranger wanted, and
the latter became very abu sive, threat
enipg to kill both the dealer and his
boy, who happened to be in the place
at the time.
The child was sent tor patrolman,
but failed to find one, and during his
absence the colored fellow followed the
storekeeper into the back room, strik,
ing him upon the back of the neck and
knocking him down. In falling he
struck a stove, and being heavy man,
weighing over 200 pounds, his head
doubled under, and his neck was bro.
ken. The assailant fed and has not
vet been arrested although number OF
colored men were taken into custody
on suspicion.
Deceased was ffty-three years of age,
q native of Italy, served in tho Cri-
mean war and came to this country
seventeen years ago. The murderer
can easily be identified, as he appeared
in the neighborhood a couple of hours
previous| to the murder, and was eject
ed from junk shop opposite lsola't
place for violent conduct.

Little more Light.
For the REPUBLI CAN.

For the hEPUBLl YAM
Having seen an article in your issue
on Saturday last, concerning myself
and family, desire to correct few
inaccurate statements which We're no
doubt made unintentionally. The true
facts in the case were about as follows:
The man Ferry made two efforts to en-
ter my house.both of which my wife frus-
trated. She then went to his sisters who
resides on Second street, to inform her OF
her brothers. condition and request her
to come and take care of him. While
she was on this errand the man entered
the house and took possession, the
children being the only occupants, and
Mr.. Davis elected him and not me, as
before stated. On the night of the fire
at Stockle's Brewery, l met Ferry at
Front an JusJison streets in an intoxi-
Gated condition, after midnight, while
coming from tho works Of the Harlan
& Hollingsworth Company, on my way
home. He asked me to shelter him
the remainder of the night, which l did
but did not grant him the privilege OF
making menager'e OF my house,
however humble. For the benefit OF
some of my neighbors, who fancy that
we are in debt to him, since he kept
store in the vicinity, l will just say
that we nsver had any dealings With
him whatever. And further, l have
no license infrmary here and | only
pity the unfortunate victim to strong
drink and would not have elected this
man if he had behaved in a proper
manner, but he or anyone else can make
rendezvous of my premises.

He Llk eH His Dinner.

Senator David Davis does not enjoy

an onlooker at the Capitol, when dinner

visible of the dull oratory Of his fellow.
statesmen, the Acting-Vice- President
became very uneasy. He tidgeted about
in his chair as if seated on pettles, and
endeavored, by expressive looks, to in
duce some one to move an adjournment
These tactics proving of no avail, and
seeirg ~ certain Senator rise to begin a
speech which was certain to be two
hours long and exceptionally dull. he
graspei opportunity by the torelock,
ard exclaimed: "There being no further
business before the Senate, motion to
adjourn is in order; the Senator from
has the floor, and moves to adjourn.
All those in favor OF that motion will
say Aye; those opposed will say No.
The ayes have it, and the Senate stands
adjourLed;" and before the would-be
orator could recover from his bewilder.
ment, the portly Senator from Illinois
was halfway to the cloak-room.

IT IS STRANGE that after the Law Is
go plainly laid down for the qualitica-
tion of election officers, that there
should have been total obliviousness
to the fact that such officers had to be
sworn hefore they entered upon their
duties as was the case in the First
ward last Saturday. This is more sur
prising from the fact that some of those
who held the election were no novices
in the business and should have known
better. Such neglect is evidence of the
incapacity of such persons to hold any
responsible position. Such q careless
neglect Of duty will probably render
the election void, when of course the
Board will elect a Member and the
mem ber so elected should be the one
the majority of the voters .of the ward
chose to serve them.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR has signed the
anti-Chinese bill and it now becomes a
law. 1t will he violation of the law
for any Chinese to land on our shores
for ten years. The law is clearly un
constitutional. If the government has
q right to prohibit Chinaman from
coming to this country to better his
condition, it has the same power to pro
hibit a Russian, German or an Irish
man from coming for ten years or any
other length of time. 1t is hoped that
the hoodlums Of the Pacific States will
get such start IN civilization and de
cency in ten years that the Chinaman
will not overtske them when the Yves.
tern gates are again opened. The only
difference between the present bill and
the one the President vetoed a
few weeks ago is that the last one
makes IL . prshibition ten years instead
Of twenty,

THE Board OF Education has given
another evidence of its bipartisan
character by the election of Charles
Baird rs President Of the Board. The
unpartisan character CT such an act
cannot be fully appreciated without
stating that the Board is composed of
l3 Democrats and 8 Republicans, and
Mr.. Baird, the President elect, is d
well known Republican. Such action
is still farther appreciated from the fact
that amongst the Democratic members
were ". j. Morrow and Colonel Is. H..
Heisler, both capable gentlemen and
entitled by long service to the position.
Az the Democrats have really come
more than half way to make an unpar
tisan Board, the Republican members
are placed under obligations to act in
the same spirit, of which there is not
the least doubt they will do. Mr..
Baird though we believe not anxious
Tor the position is well qualified for it,
and fully entitled to its honors by
faithful and long service. While
giving each his need of praise we
wou d stop short Of Our duty were We
not to allude to the urselfshness of Mr..
W. j. Morrow, cue of the Democrats,
who was capable and as much entitled
10 the position as Mt. Baird, and who
Dould easily have been elected had he
consented to serve, but who uuseldshly
gave up bis claim to the seat ahG
heartily labotcd for the election OF Mr.
Baird.

WHATEVER MISTAKES the Republi.
can party has made, it still has the con-
fdence which rightfully belongs to
character and to long and successful
career. Its history shows that it has
the ability to control its own destiny,
regardless of the machinery of the Off.
ces. This ability can give aid to the
other forces of the party, but it cannot
coutrol them. The Cincinnati Gazette,
referring to this principle, says that
the issues of State legislation, which
have so lately arisen; will be no load
upon the party, but will be rather
new energy, and the blunders and evil
nature of the opposition will be a con.
stant incentive to Republican fidelity.
When the time arrives for action upon
the next election in that State, 1t will
tiud the Republicans awake. vigilant,
intelligent and masters Of their party
and the whole situation.

raect of the AssassinatlOn.

Without exception the Irishmen in
Atnerica, whether Land Leaguers or
not, denounce the assassination OF
Lord Cavendish and the Under Secre-
tary of Ireland. There may be some
extremists here or there who refer 10
the number of men that have been shot
down by constables in Ireland and try
to make one crime balance the other,
but as general thing all sensible Irish
men condemn the deed of blood. The
President of the National Land League
has issued manifesto saying, that
only an arch enemy of the Irish race or
an idiot would have conceived such
wicked work. But be this as it may,
the damage that has been done to the
Irish cause seems to be appreciated,
whether done by enraged landlords,
hired assassins or some poor person,
crazed by his wrongs and driven to des-
peration, to seek fancied revenge. The
fact that the American movement in
behalf of Ireland will probably lose
much OF its sympathy, which it has
heretofore received in this country, Will
bs tender and sore spot in the effort
made for the redemption of Ireland.
The assassination has had the effect to
moIlify the feelings Of the Land
Leaguers and they will now appreciate
the position of Gladstone, the man
whom they formerly despised and de-
nounced, and they will now turn to
him as their strongest hope in their
hour of despair and trouble. They de-
clare that Gladstone will do them the
Justice to believe that the Irish people
must not be held responsible for the
crime, and that he will not withdraw
the helping hand extended. 1t will
be seen by his future actions whether
he believes these protestations or not,
but whether he does or not, the world
at large will hold the spirit that
has caused these numberless assassina
tions in Ireland, heretofore responsible
for these last murders. Under this
feeling there is danger that the justice
of the Irish cause will be overlooked,
and in the feelingsof madness that is
rushing over the outside world, the
Irish people will be judged by the low
est estimate put upon their character.
Unhappy aud unfortunate Ireland.

The County Campaign n.

Two of the stirring campaign prlma'
~ electiops are over and the school
election as well, and SO far lively in
tarest has been manifested indicating
An animated campaign. The primaries
have resulted in placing opposing can
didates for three Of the offices OF the
city government in nomination, OF
acknowledged ability and character,
and the school election, though attend
cd with the most supreme indifference
has resulted in an advance in the abil-
ity and standing of the Board of Edu-
cation. The next move upon the po-
itical chess board will be almost num-
berless meetings of the respective par
ties in the wards fer the purpose OF
nominating City Councilmen and
inspectors of elections. These are i'm
portant meetings and should be atten-
ded by the leading, best and most infiu-
ential men of both the leading parties.
1t is at these meetings really where
Councilmen are virtually elected. The
election held on the first Saturday in
June is merely ratification of what
was done by one side or the other. If
inferior and unpopular candidates are
nominated on either side, the Republi-
can or Democrat who did not attend
the primary elections or meetings of
his party, has no good ground to com
plain if Indifferent candidates are pre-
sented for his suffrage. He should
have attended.theprimary meetings and
have used his influence to have better
men if he wanted them placed upon the
ticket. The next primary election o.
more general Importance than any other
to the Republican party will be the
nomination election for Sheriff which
takes place on Saturday. the Goth inst.
1t is important to the success of the Re-
ublicans that competent and popular
selection for candidate for Sheriff
should be made The Sheriff and the
Coroner are the only two county officers
which the law makers of Delaware in
their wisdom have seen proper to en-
trust to the people to elect, and as the
constitution has been SO meagre IN It's
gifts, it is the more important that the
people should make wise and judi
cious use of the favors. Generally the
people have done 80 and have earned
the merit of being able to elect all their
county offices, privilege which we
hone will be conferred Oh them by tie
Republicans when they get control OF
the State which they will in time
sooner or later. Happily for the office
of Sheriff the Republicans can make no
bad choice from amongst the gentle
men who have offered themselves for
the sutfrages of the party. After the
Republican nomination will follow the
Democratic nomination for Sheriff and
Coroner, and crowding them close
comes the city election for Mayor and
other city offices on the first Saturday
of June. After that a lull occurs in
the great whirling c2uldror of fpolitics
and each party will view the field and
make preparations for the great contest
Tor the possession of the State on the
first Tuesday of November to which
the little election in October will be the
preliminary skirmish. In all that per-
taips to good government every citizen
should take an active part, and then
there will be no real cause for com
plant at the result.
