Broadly Humorous.

The present writings Of the organs which
are intended to stir up sectional prejudice
and warm over dead Issues should be pre-
served for the benefit Of future book.makers
who may wish to collect the newspaper
humor Of 1886. Here is a specimen para
graph from the Philadelphia Evening But
letin:
at is polite for the southern editor to
remember that men OF Governor Gordon's
type have hosts OF followers who would
maintain southern principles in the face OF
all the economic theories and industrial
facts that could be cited. We would re.
spectiully submit that the South will be a
commercial rival Of the Yankee land only
when all mot some) OF her citizens accept
the gospel Of work, and when some mot
ally lay down their shotguns for the estab-
lishment Of industrial and political equali-
ty."
In view OF the fact that on the same day
that this appeared in the Bulletin a north
ern man was engaged in eulogizing STONE
WALL JACKSON to Boston audience, our
philadelphia contemporaries paragraph Is
entitled to rank as broadly humorous.

WHY Agftatc the Tariff.

1t is surprising to our inexperienced
mind what object that portion OF the Dem
ocratic press of the State who are continual
" urging that the tariff question be made
the issue upon which parties shall decide
EXPECT to accomplish that will result in
good to the party in Virginia.
Would an anti-protectioD platform carry
Virginaf We do not think 1t would gain
the vote OF single Republican, white or
colOred, and it would certainly drive oil
men who have been voting the Democratic
ticket, but who believe the best policy Is to
support the Government by tariff,
and TO so regulate the tariff that home
labor and. home enterprise will receive
the benefits thereof, and the two par
lies are so evenly balanced in virginia that
the Democratic party could not afford TO
spare many Of its supporters. Hence we
fail to see the wisdom OF agitating this
question, which Is one ~ purely local in
terest. The people OF a country town may
be Frce-Traders, but start mandatory

our farmers are far-sighted enough TO SEE
that il would be better for them TO have 9

could sell the productions OF their farms
| even n they do have TO pay four or fiv,
dollars a year tariff on their farming imple
'ments, rather TO have the crops remaining
idle on the farms for want OF a market
and they know that manufactures buili

A BRAVE DEAD RECALLED.
Sergeant Delaney. Who Killed MEOW
an. Receives n Check for $1,000.
Nav York Herald

Commissioner NcClave, treasurer OF the
Police Board, received by mail Yesterday
check cailirg for 1000, which WAS sent hy
I eonard W. Jerome, treasurer OF the Riot
Relief Fund, 10 be paid 10 Sergeant John
Delaney, OF the Broadway squad. The
gift revives thrilling episode in the life
OF a brave officer.
II was nearly four years ago that Della.
nev, then r0undsmln attached 10 the
Tombs Police Court, was gwen warrant
10 serve upon Patrick McGOwan. q nOto-
rious character who made his headquarters
at Billy McGlofy's place. in Hester street.
MCGOWAN had swiDdled a cOuntryman,
who made known bis grievances in court
and secured the warrant When the
swindler heard about the warrant he
laughed and declared that the first police.
man who tried 10 serve the papers on him
would be a dead man. Everyone who
knew McGowan's desperate character did
not for moment doubt but that he would
execute his threat. A policeman who was
sent 10 McGlory's heard the declaration
made by McGowan ard thought that the
Tombs Court was far more safe than the
ruin.soaked den Of McGlory. lie returned
the warrant 10 court under some preteyt,
and there it lay until Roundsman Delaney
heard OF the circumstances.
81 will serve the paper" said Delaney
quietly, and the court.clerk placed the war
rant in his hands.
The roundsman went to McGlory's place
and waited for bis man. He did not wait
long. a carriage drove up TO the door.
and from II alighted McGowan and two
women. when the swindler entered the
saloon be was approached by Delaney and
handed the warrant. Immediately Nc
Gowan drew bIs revolver and sent Il ball
crashing through one OF Delaney's eyes.
As lie did so he turned about cOolly, and,
calling the two women, jumped into the
coach.
Delaney WIS staggered at first by the
sudden attack. but, recovering himself
quickly, ran after his man. When Delaney
reached the street the driver OF the vehicle
started his horses. But this did not stop
Delaney. Running after the coach, the
officer jumped on behind, and through the
little glass window in the back OF the yehl-
Gle sent bullet that cut short McGOwan's
career. This feat displayed the wonderful
nerve OF the man. With one eye shot out,
be followed up his victim aud fired steady
shot, while q bullet was lodged in his own
head. The coach was stopped, and Della
new caught his man, only 10 say 10 CORPSE,
a. You are my prisoner" and then faint
from exhaustion and loss OF blood.
For his conduct on this occasion Delaney
was promoted TO sergeantcv, which posi-
ton he now holds. The Riot Relief Fund,
which was started Immediately after the
riots Of 1868, organized with capital OF
5000. This money was donated by pub
lie ciiizrhs. the banks, and other institn-
tons. A. 4. Stewart gave $1,000 OF this
amount. Since then the fund has donated
over so, 900 TO deserving policemen. who
have in one way or another performed
so,re act Of bravery in the performance 81
their duties. Through good management
ard safe investments the fdnd has now
Owe 100000 TO its credit.

Bulgaria's New Prince.

Nicholas In 1866 sold his bIrthrght to
