By WIL.L.IAITI XI. BERNABD. WILMINGTON, N. C. x TppRSDAY Evening, May 3, 183, EVENING EDITION. 1 EDITORS' DIFFEHING. :s The Elizabeth City Economist does not accept what we said of Mr. Badger's supremacy. It thinks Mr. Gaston very much his superior. We remark in reply, that the sceptics as to Mr. Badger's genius, eloquence ti.ii ttnd great abilities are people who -iJsRew but little of him when he was -in the'flesh, and who never heard him . at all. On the other hand those who estimate him most highly and give, - hTni the chief seat are the lawyers who knew him best and practiced longest with him in the courts. Ten or fifteen years ago we could have easily obtained the opinion of a dozen of the foremost legal gentlemen of the State to the effect that he was the greatest advocate ever seen in the courts of North Carolina. We have r not the faintest doubt of this. We had the privilege of hearing many of A the foremost lawyers discuss Mr. Badger, from say 1840 to 1860. We '-jiev'er heard one of them who pre " tended to believe that Badger had r had had any rival since he 1- had become prominent in the i r a. yr State. -The Econom ist says we are irr 'ferror in saying Mr. Badger jevier raade a political speech before 1840. We have a very distinct recollection jf.; that we heard him say so, and he V ft. fonght to know. We cannot remem , '"ber him before 1840, but then he, ' i overshadowed all other men in the .State. i' - When the Economist denies that !'-'rMfjBadger.had "theyiraces of cul- . - A L M. 1 1 J. 1 . 1 . t-urc tuuii uu uiucu 10 uiaK.e up m .

Mrs. Mary Bayard ' ClarTcwrftes to the Fayetteville Observer a,s fqllows; "Conversation, as ao art, is neither gen-, erally understood nor appreciated in Amfer?,. ican society ; as a gift it is admired and en vied, but few ever think of it as a possible acquisition, much less turn their attention to its cultivation. Our social kings and queens are emphatically 'nature's noble- men; mey pssess me gin; out n is rare in deed that one is found who, like Mr. Bader er, studies conversation as an art in which 'Artist est celare artem.' Possessing: the gift, Mr. Badger yet studied the. art. bring ing his vast store of information, his fund of anecdote, his inimitable humor, and the pathos with which true humor is always combined, all into play to render himself one of the moat brilliant conversationalists this country has ever produced. We shall now drop the snbject and editors shall enjoy their opinion of meu undisturbed by us. Since this was written we have received the last Economist with some interesting an ecdotes of Mr. Badger. It seems that Mr. Creecy knew Mr. B. and heard hini at the bar. His first article is the more surprising. We find he considers that "versatility x( talent and acquirement was the distinguish ing feature of 'his character." The lawyers used to tell ns that vigor of intellect, clearness of reasoning, elo quencet and wit and learning were his great, leading qualities. But law yers as well as editors, it seems, will differ even about the great Badger. Mr. Creecy has made another discov ery: "He' was the most accomplished demagogue we ever saw' h$ says. What next? Badger a demagogue! RANDALL' VERY SOUND ? The Wjlson Siftings compliments the Stab and then for a column and a half "goes for as" because of opr hostility to Mr. Randall. It insists that he and Mr. Carlisle stand on the same precise platform. This is news to tw and it will be newrto the Penn- sylvan ian Protectionists. If ofar worthy contemporary cottld have convinced the voters in Mr.'Randall's district that . he was 'opposed td a tariff for protection," and that he stood fsbeuldej? to shoulder" with Carlisle, wo venture to say he would have been signally defeated. The leading Republican papers of Phila delphia that strongly favor Protec tion do not understand Mr. Randall if he is verily a Revenue Tariff-Dem ocrat. - Some of them think him fishv ml and without principles; and one of them recently intimated pretty plain ly that he could sell out to the anti Protectionists to be elected Speaker, and added, that "he Would stand by his bargain.'" We asked at the time if that was the sort of man for South ern Democrats to support. We would very willingly have con fidence in Randall if we could. He surely had no more to do with the "annual saving of nearly $4Q,000, 000" referred td by the Siftings, than the other Democratic members. As Speaker he has great power to shape committees and he can work in the interests of Revenue or -".Protection as he wills. If Mr. Randall is sound on thetar iff as4t is expounded by'Democratic teachers, then we have bceii misled and have done him injustice. Satis fy us that he is a sinfeere, honest ad vocate of a "tariff for revenue only " , as the Democratic platforms - of both 1876 and 1880 formulated the doc- f trine and insisteanpory its advocacy, and we will 'notJbase our decided op position td Randall any longer upon unsound tariff ; Views!' 1 Econonjic questions are paramount now. i The, ways and means of raising the re ve enue is the; great question for tjie voters- The Democratic party is not iree trada party and .It is not ahifeh F-oi-ecxive party.

Garfietd. a' free trader Snd a member'df'the celebrated free trade Cobden CJub of England,' stood upon a platform that favored an un constitutional high tariff or protec tion with incidental revenue. " Now this sort df hdbus-pbeus wil hot beffin tO answer !n 184. If the Democrats are fools erjough to at tempt to avoid the great dominating question of how the revenue shall be raised by sounding platitudes and "glittering generarttfeand to pnt a faintjheM-ted ;'nam1)y-faratv, political uoooay wuu no principles in iue field for President then thev are badly whipped before they start There will be a big split if the plank in tne Democratic platform is either Drotectionist or eauivocal. The doc- trine of the party must be plainly, clearly stated so that all may know precisely what is meant what is held. The man to uphold the doc trine as to the tariff mnst ie a man with clean hands and decided con victions. He must stand squarely by a constitutional tariff for Revenue or he should not be voted for by any man who is earnest in the matter of tariff reform. It will be a poor start in the direc tion of reform to have Mr. Randall placed in the chair. So equivocal is his position so mnch of a see-sawer is he So much of a political strad dler that this has come to pass as we knoio;he has the decided indorse ment of leading Protectionists of Pennsylvania; he is suspected strong ly by some of the Protectionist pa pers; he is looked Upon withposetive suspicion and disfavor by most South ern Democrats; he is the choice of snch Southern Democrats as lean to Protection; and he is preferred by papers even like the Siftings because of his absolute, unqualified soundness and devotion to a consti tutional tariff for revenue only. It is a great reflection on any man of whom it can be affirmed that both parties and sections of parties claim him as entertaining the distinctive views that divide them into parties or sections" or factions of party.

It contains 1,372,588 sqnare miiesi which exceeds the Ignited States byr quite one-third. For the first time a census has been taken, and the population exceeds 250,000 people, or nearly, five times the population of our own country. There are 90,000,000 Hindoos, 50,- 000,000 Mohammedans, and but 1,- 862,634 Christians. The latter are the rulers. How long will they con tinue to be? Mr. Bright says the English will have to take up their carpet-bags yet some where in the future and like the much quoted Arabs "will silently steal away." The Philadelphia Press draws the follow ing information from the census re turns: "A curious feature developed bv the re turns is that about twenty-one millions of females in the country are widows, a per centage of 19.71 to the Hindoos and 12.93 to the Mohammedans. The wife of a de ceased husband in England grades only a percentage of the whole population -at 1.22. There is a current belief that all Hindu widows cremate themselves upon a pyre of sandal wood, but the fact is that the sacri fice of the relicts has long since been done away with in India through English influ ence or rather by England's strong repres sive arm ana. more to me purpose, tne re ligious laws forbid widows the comforts of a second marriage. It is sad to know that with all these unsolaced females there are six million more men than women in the empire. Of the whole population only about thirteen millions can read and write. and pply about five millions are now under instruction." We are all more interested in India than we are supposed to be. It is not improbable that the'great Aryan stock whence Germans and Ensr- Tish and Americans come was first planted in this very India. . Here too originated that' strangest of all strange paopies thje Gypsies who keep up thfeif homadifl life after feen- turies . of contact with the 'highest -'J - , 7 civilizations of the earth, and ti,aVe the very peculiarities in 1883 that j marked them when they made their advent into Europe many hundreds of yc$si3& of years baok.of as and India possessed i'T i !Brwulu ciues xnav were the admiration of the traveller -and the theme of historian, essayist and poet. ranch of a novel after air if we may I t.ng fkfl fittft 'iHitmrmh fn ftf Tr v-wg- realism, or iwtrerUjwirj; dk poBsefcafes to- finement, 0nisli, pbioa9pojr od atyle at is a oompUation of 'good-things; not witty even humorous things, but wise, teflde and beautiful -things,' ana irlfcemphaticaHy, great fault is the lack of indmdaiity m ts setting ana its cnaracters.

We believe in the elimination of the 'color line in politics. We be lieve also in an impartial considera tion of all questions, political, social or moral, that may arise with race significance in this State. We cer tainly would do nothing, say nothing, which could be thought to favor in any way the idea of "mixed schools," or "social equality," as that term is generally understood, or of any other of the thousand impossible terrors held np to the gaze of Virginians by inconsiderate or intemperate par- tizans, but we believe earnestly in a political reorganization which shall putthe Democratic party, in its re lations to the negro race, where, by the party's name, its history, its traditions, it belongs.

There is a serious side to this supposed amusing fact. The beer faucet reallv is one of the most dan gerous weapons with which husbands can destroy the health, happiness and lives of their wives and children.
