CERTAIN of the Washington newspa-
pers keep up their assaults upon Alex

OF lettering people in that city from
buying cheap homes in that county,
and compelling them to buy dearer
ones on the north side of the river.
There is less crime, vice and disorder
in the whole of Alexandria county than
in many single blocks of Washington

it not for the fact that the ne.

WHETHER THE remedies the demo.
Gratis propose for the cure of existing
evils prove effective or not, they offer
them in good faith, and are willing to

on the contrary, while conceding the
existence of the evils referred to, offer
no remedy for them, but would let
them continue, to the detriment of all
the interests OF the country except
those of the plutocrats. The former
show the faith that is in them; the lat
Ger, that they have no faith, except it
be in the governmental policy that has

The board of directors of the Cath:
olic University met in Washington yes
terday and selected the names of three
priests to be presented to the Pope,

THURSDAY EVENING, OCT. %, 1886

No NAN with ordinary intelligence
need be deceived by the spurious oppo-
sition that is made to the resumption
of silver coinage. A piece OF silver
with the governments dollar stamp on
it is certainly just as good dollar as
piece OF worthless paper bearing the
same stamp, and if all the silver mines
and all the minis were availed OF to
their utmost capacity, dollar and
quarter year, per head, could not be
added to the country's currency. Free
silver coinage may do some good; it is
impossible :or it to do harm. The op,
position to it by intelligent people is
delusion and snare, intended to OBJ
scure the real cause OF their objection
to Mr.. Bryan-the fact that he favors
the imposition OF a tax on the incomes
of those who can easily bear it, that he
fayors the reduction of the tariff on the
necessaries of life, and that he favors
the repeal Of the civil service law, so
that all the many positions under the
government may not be held Tor life by
a small privileged class, TO the e1clu-
sion of every body else. This is plain
to all men of ordinary sense, and the
voter who NAV allow himself to be de-
ceived by such senseless CAB as the talk
about the objections greedy and avari-
cious monopolists have to paying
their employees with fifty cent dollars,
will prove TO those who know him that
free schools and cheap newspapers
have not improved his understanding.

THE REPUBLICANS having become
satisfied that the gold boilers effective
strength will amount to little or moth

that from now until election day, in the

Bloody Work of Shoemaker and
His Son ut Columbus. Georgia,
Over a Trivial Cnuse-Was a Wild
Time.

COLUMBUS, Ca, Oct. 14.-About 2:3O
this afternoon, J. A. White, a shoe
maker, and Henry White, his son,
foully murdered two policemen on
Thirteenth street, in this city, and
badly wounded another on Sixteenth
street, shortly afterwards. There was
no cause for the commission of crime
other than the fact that both men had
been summoned to appear before the
recorder tomorrow for some trivial
ofsense.
BY the time the third policeman had
fallen, a crowd of over 500 armed men
had reached the scene and the muir
dererS' house was surrounded. Tom
Jackson, marshal of Girard, and Zeno
Pickett, an ex-policeman of this city,
volunteered to run White out of his
house. Four other brave men offered
to follow them, and the crowd charged
on the house, firing hundreds of bullets
into the windows and DOORS When the
fusilade ceased, Jackson and Pickett
forced open the door. whereupon White
began firing upon them. The two men
rushed in upon him and after shooting
him half a dozen times, dragged him
into the air. Immediately after deliver
ing Whites body to the crowd, Pickett
fell to the sidewalk from the effects of
what is believed to be a mortal wound
He was taken to a nearby house
where he is still quartered, and though
in a critical condition, there is faint
hope of his recovery.

BRILLIANT BAYONEf CHARGE.
That is What the Pizarro Regiment
is Alleged to Have Made, and by
Which They Routed the Insur-
rents.

HAVANA, Oct 14.-Official reports
received here state that the Pizzaro
regiment surprised a party of rebels
under Juan Delgado at Coca, near
Bejucal, in the Havana province, and
by a brilliant bayonet charge routed
the insurgents completely, compelling
them to retire IN such haste that they
were unable to carry off their dead.
Two hundred dead rebels were left on
the field, and many were wounded. The
Spaniards captured a quantity of
medicines and ether stores when the
insurgents were forced to leave behind
them. The loss of the government
troops was one captain and eight pri-
Yates wounded.
Further details of the fight between
Castellanos command and the rebels
are to the effect that after the Desmayo
enga cement, General CaStellano
started on the march to San Miguel.
The troops were engaged in several
skirmishes with the rebels during the
march. On October 8 the Spaniards
marched into Ellsaga where General
CasteHano ordered a number of
barges at that place to transport the
troops to Nuevitas The soldiers were
embarked upon the barges, which We're
then taken in tow by the gunboat

same day. The sick and wounded
