ShotEis Father

A few minutes before the departure of
the 7 O'CLOCK Raleigh. n. c., express
train Tuesday evening, and while q large
humber Of negro eXcursionlsts were
gathered at the depot at Portsmouth,
Va. young man pushed his way
through the crowd, fourishing revolv-
er, and in an excited manner cried out
to the people to get out of his way, that
he would kill the first man who inter-
fered with him. that his father was on
the train, and that he meant to kill him.
He searched the train and found his
G,tlier standing on the platform of one Of
the cars, and began firing at him, strik-
ing hlm in the thigh in two places-oDe
near the hip and the other just above the
knee. He was arrested, and, when
questioned, said that his name was A.
NJ. Sydes. that he lived in Philadelphia,
and that he had sworn to kill his father,
D. Sydes, for deserting and slanderlng
his mother. He said he had followed his
father to New York and thence to Nor
folk. The father says the trouble grew
out of the disslpated habits Of his son and
his unsatisGed demand for money. The
wounded man is dangerously but not
necessarily fatally hurt.

Its proprietor claims for it no other medi-

Foolisllncss.

Last week, the Georgia Legislature
passed. and sent to the Governor for his
signature, the registration bill. which is
certainly very Singular anomaly in po-
litical legislation. A body which has
a tremendous Democratic majority has
deliberately made IN apportionment for
Congress which gives to the Republicans
six districts with maiorities ranging from
10000 to $4,000 in round numbers:
while to the Democrats they give four
districts with majoritles ranging from
5000 to 10l, ,OOO in roun,l numbers. 1t
would have been an easy matter to have
made all the districts solidly Democrats
ic, which ought to lave been done by all
means. This apportionment is the most
absurd piece of foolishueess We have
heard of lateiv.

The True Issues,


William S. Holman, of Indiana, is a
gentleman Of large experience and strict
honesty. He is useful Congressman,
and his constituents wisely continue him
in the House of Representatives, where
he now fills his ninth term. He keeps
faithful watch over the appropriations
and is ever really to interpose IN objec-
ton to corrupt legislation.
MIR. Holman's name has been men,
toned in connection with the Presiden-
tial nomination. Fortunately he has no
such aspirations. He has sense enough
to know in what position he can do the
best service to the country and to his
party. and patriotism enough to be con-
tented to fill it.
In recent interview Mr.. Holman cX-
pressed the opinion that the issues before
the next Congress will be the restriction
of the powers of corporations and the
reclamation Of forfeited public land
grants to the amount Of over 95.000,000
acres. He predicts that if the Demo
cracy falls to take firm stand against
the encroachments of corporations a
n2tional anti-monopoly party Will arise
which will carry all before it.
The Democracy would be false to its
principles and its policy if it should
neglect>eo pass bills through the Demo-
cratic House of Representatives to re-
peal all land grants in which forfeiture
has occurred. to compel the full! pay
mcnt Of all sums due from railroad cor
porations to the Government. and to
prevent by all constitutional means the
further abuses and encroachrncnts of
corporations and the growth of mono
poles.
These are living issues. They arc
Democratic issues. brought into greater
prominence than ever by the disclosure
of the means by which the National Adj
m;ristration now i'll power was forced
upon tue country.
The election of 1880 was won by the
purchasing power of money. BY whom
was the corruption fund suppllcd'
BY two great monooollsts-Jay Gould
ard &. L. Huntington-who gave $780,
900 in consideration of naming several
Judges of tho Supreme Court OF the
Unintcd States, land got their man.
BY Mr.. Levi Z. Morton. who made a
large personal contribution on the pledge
that he should be Gariicld's Secretary OF
the Treasury, and who was, instead, ap-
pointed Minister to France.
BY rich monopolies, railroad corpor-
atlons and other great moneyed powers
which have received in the past, and hope
to receive in the future: special iavors
from the Executive, Congress and the
Judiciary. =.
What becomes OF free government if

" hat rights can the people hope to retain
when influences such as these hold the
Administration by the throat, control
legislation. aud rest under the protection
of their own representatives On the bench
of the Supreme Court of the United
States?
Mr.. Holman is right. The issues he
names are those founded on Democratic
principles aud demanded by the people.

from tie columns Of the Times an ac-
count Of the banquet given to Dorsey at

-@eneral Grant presided, and declared
that to Dorsey's "skill, TO his excellent

if not wholly, indebted for the result Of
the :.forlcrn hope" in October. Gene
raj Arthur also spoke, and attributed
the Indiana victory to the liberal re-
spoDse Of Mr.. Morton's finance commit

cool head snd wonderful courage. Mr..
Art!lur, continuing, said ~ don't think
we had better SO into minute secrets Of

BriIIiantIndeed ,

Last week, we commented upon a;
query OF the Meas and Courier as to
whether The Democrats in Congress
would do what The Republicans refused
ITO do and restore to the negroes the
money their Radical friends stole from
them in the Freedmen's Bank. We
said. in Substance, that iflt was right
s that this money should be restored by
the government, we would hsye Qpthing
to say against it, but That if the Demo-
Gratis proposed to restore this money as
- matter Of policy, We could not see
where any good would be accomplished.
We haze done a great deal for the ne
gro IN the way of education and nothing
but ingratitude is the return. The Neaos
and Courier now adds: "pFe do not ad-
vocate this as party measure by any
means, but it viii be a brilliant stroke Of
policy for the Democrats to return to
the Wards of the Nation" the money
that their Republican guardians permit
ted to be st6len.n Brilliant indeed! If
: the Democrats were to restore every
cent of this money, the negroes would
say that the Republicans al tie North
gave it back to them, and nothing that
we conld say would make them believe
otherwise, The lamented Q'Connor did
more for the negroes on this bill than
any other man, and told them what he
was doing IN his public speeches. But
did they believe him !? Not bit ef it.
As mass, they voted solidly against
him, ard did all they could to elect
representative of the very party that
stole the money, in preference to him.
BE it remembered, we are not arguing
against perfect and exact justice being
5dope to thenegro.|We advocate this at
all times and under all circumstances.
But we see little need for any more
policy. 1t brings no return. Whatever
we do for this race, must be done simply
because 1t is right. and no longer because
1T is polite, and probably time will work
out a change and remedy for the evils
that now exist.
