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.

raade a political speech before 1840.

among those who were wont to visit
him at Cheyne Row in Londojt
s Since writing the above we haye
met with the opinion of avergifted
North Carolina woman as to Mr.
Badger's conversational po wets.
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

whilst' Geh. Garfietd. a' free trader
Snd a member'df'the celebrated free

upon a platform that favored an un
constitutional high tariff or protec
tion with incidental revenue.
" Now this sort df hdbus-pbeus wil

Democrats are fools erjough to at
tempt to avoid the great dominating
question of how the revenue shall be
raised by sounding platitudes and

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. ' Mr.
Randall will not do.
A VAST POPITLATION AND COVN
XRX. India, under British rule, is an im
mense country. 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

CURRENT COMMENT.
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. Petersburg
