Drunken Excursionists.
Special Correspondence EVENING JOURNAL.
New CASTLE, Del, June 81
A disastrous and perhaps fatal riot
occurred on the Delaware street wharf
here last night at II 40 o'clock and re-
suited In the serious and perhaps mortal
wounding Of William Roy, young and
intelligent colored man, and son of Rev.
Aaron Roy.
The disturbance was created in the
following manner: The steamer Chris
tina touched at the wharf at 10 o'clock
with moonlight excursion on board
under the management of Rev. j. z.
Chippey Of Wilmington, and MANY New
Castle colored people boarded her Roy was
standing on the Delaware street wharf.
with a large party of friends, waiting
for the Christina to stop on
her return trip, which she did, a
few minutes past 10 o'clock. On her
upper deck was noisy crowd of colored
men and boys, under the influence of
liquor. They commenced to throw all
kinds of insulting epithets at the crowd
on the wharf, and the latter resented
the insults, with threats to stone the
offenders.
The quarrel continued until a half
dozen of the always handy revolvers
were whipped out of as many hip pockets
Of the drunken negros on the deck and
the shots, a score in number, followed in
quick succession, every bullet whistling
in among the crowd on the wharf, which
rapidly began to disperse. The shots
ceased for moment, and suddenly the
cry Of imam shot, was heard and every.
body focked about the prostrate form Of
Roy. He was picked up and taken to
his home on Vine street, near Railroad
avenue, and after several unsuccessful
attem pts to obtain medical aid, DR., 3.
r. Tybout was reached and visited the
wounded man. and made him as comfort
able as possible for the night. The un-
fortunate mans clothing was covered
with blood, and he presented pitiful
sight.
Drs. Black and Tybout began an opera
tion on the wounded man at TO- 80 o'clock
this morning, and found that two shots
had taken effect. The first one fred
struck him in the right leg, three inches
above the ankle bone, and lodged
in the calf of his leg. This
must have rendered him helpless, thus
he ecould not escape from the flying lead
The second bullet entered his head, about
an inch back of the right ear, and lodged
a few inches below.
The physicians probed for the ball and
succeeded in extracting it. He is now
under -the influence of AN anmsthetic.
Slight hopes are entertained of his re.
covery.

LEelsLATME AccouNTARILIIY

Tim. Healy was the bright member Of
the opposition in Parliament who raised
the shrewd objection to the Licensing
bill which defeated the Salisbury
government. This pet bill, brought in
by Mr.. Goschen, was withdrawn only to
save the government from defeat. The
points made by Mr.. Healy are that the
government cannot use the money raised
by the special tax on spirits in the way
it intended it cannot allow it to accu-
mulate; it does not know what to do
with it. The Chancellor Of the Excheq-
usr ought to have known that money
raised by taxation could not be allowed
to accumulate from year to year. He
stands convicted of ignorance on an ele-
mentary detail of parliamentary law.
In Great Britain this is serious matter.
The vast difference between Parliamen
tary, and our Congressional legislation is
sptly illustrated by this episode. The
passage Of a bad or an unconstitutional
bill in Parliament defeats the dominant
party almost Immediately. Here it has
frequently happened that the dominant
party cannot be held responsible for even
such an egregious error as the passage Of
a bill which has subsequently been de-
clared unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court.
The dominant party In Congress is now
considering, or rather forcing through
without allowing them to be considered,
three such measures. The Supr eme
Court has declared that
To lay with one hand the power OF the
government on the property Of the citi-
zen, and with the other 70 bestow II
upon favored Individuals to aid private
enterprises and build up private fortunes,
is none the less robbery, because 1t is
done under the forms Of law and is called
taxation.
Yet, in the face Of this stringent stric
ture, the accidental majority in Congress
propose to pGsh the Mckinley and the
Silver bills through, against the convic-
tions and the protests Of numerous
but powerless minority representing 3
majority Of the people. In addition to this
they propose to push the Federal election
bill through, in the face Of the fact that
a similar bill, concocted for the same pur
pose, another Force measure, has beer
declared unconstitutional and void by /
special decision of the Supreme Court.
The readiness with which the Goscher
Licensing bin was withdrawn, shows
curious difference between the latitud,
allowed to silly, corrupt, bad and partisan
legislation in this country andfhe limita
tion and strict technical adherence I,
precedent and law required Of legislator
in Great Britain.
This is comparison not so oompli.
nentary to the Republican party as It Il
to the patience and loyalty Of the peopl
of these United States, and to their con
6dence in the stability of our institu,
tions.

has been that those who jumped hastily
to the defence Of Higginsism remained
to apologize for themselves. The News

OF trump letters to show that the man who
was not wanted got the office, and that the

REPRESENTATIVE BUTTERwoRTH has
broken loose again. He made some cogent
and striking free trade arguments in
favor Of foreign commerce yesterday.
he gave q strong Endorsement Of secre-
tary Blaine's proposal TO exchange free

called it reciprocity. 1t Is Of little moment

that Butterworth says one thing and does
another thing makes his opinion value
less and an impertinence. When he ar

where he will vote according to his con-
yictions his opinions may have some
