BURGLARY AND ESCAPE OF ROBBERS

BURGLARY AND ESCAPE Of Robbers.
The Grass Valley Union Of April
9th has the following:
We learn from Nevada that about
two O'Clock yesterday morning, the
night Waterman Of Nevada city, In
making his accustomed rounds, sus-
pected that something was wrong in
Turner's hardware store, which is sit
uated on Pine street, between Broad
and Commercial streets. The watch
man observed that no light could be
seen from the inside Of the store, and
he knew the custom was to keep a
light always burning there at night.
He cautiously applied his a to the
ksyhole and heard nothing. He then
probed the keyhole with his knife
blade, and found the keyhole stopped
up on the inside with paper. He gently
slipped away and got assistance. Sew
eral men (some eight or ten, we are
informed) came to the assistance Of the
officer. These were armed, and were
to enter the store by the front door.
A guard was placed near the back door
to intercept the robbers. When the
party went In at the front door all was
quiet. The trapped birds had escaped,
and passed the rear picket-guard UNI
seen and unchallenged. Inside the
store, when the officers force entered,
there was some confusion of goods, but
not even "a mouse stirred" Pursuit
was given up Broad street, and up
Chinatown street. One Of the pursuers
met n of the robbers in q small alley
way between Chinatown street and
Broad street, and the robber was halted
at the muzzle Of a pistol. Some say
that the pistol was fired, but others
deny it. At any rate, a confederate of
the halted robber gave the pistol-holder
a blow with the fist, which knocked
the holder Of the pistol over, allowing
the robber to escape-so there was no
capture. In the store the robbers had
done some creditable professional
work. Several pistols and some other
articles Of hardware were stolen from
the store. The safe, a heavy one,
weighing over 5000 pounds, had been
turned over on it, face, and q nice hole
had been cut almost completely
through the top Of 1t, when the burg
lars felt called upon to leave. In order
to topple the safe over without making
q noise, the burglars had placed rubber
hose so as to receive the fall. That
shows q mastery of their business.

The POPULATION OF NEW YORK
The annual death rate of New
York, according to a recent weekly re-
port of the Metropolitan Board oil
Health, amounts to 20 80 per thousand,
estimating the population at 100000
souls. In commenting upon the above
estimate of population, the New York
Times asserts thst the figures, though
gratifying to the pride Of the "cofn-
merclal emporium" are not correct.
The Now York Board of Health for
the last five years has been contending
every year that the population amount
ed to one million. Thus according to
the State census Of 1866, the actual
number Of inhabitants was given Mt
ia, 1886, and the Board of Health, In
February 1857, asserted that according
to the marriage returns Of the proceed
ing six months, the proof was abund-
ent Of a population Of over one mill
lion persons. This number, however,
has been adhered to year after year,
without any regard to the natural an
nual increase, so that the above esti-
mate may be considered merely as a
Wild guess.

The Democracy, after fighting the
-~.,;ac.tion Of the Fifteenth Amend
ment with every means in their power,
are beginning to manifest signs Of ac-
o~uiescence with the expressed will of
the American people. They find it is
no use in levying war against the In
eyitable, and with lily disguised cha
grin they fall into line. The head
organ of the unwashed. the Now York
World Is out in an article in which the
hope Is expressed that the Democracy
may catch the votes Of the negroes
The following are its words:
"The Democratic party, which ha,
more experience, and has always had
Greater success, than its opponents In
managing the votes Of ignorant classes,
NAV easily, by some sacrifice Of pre-
iudlce, Illustrate the design of the Re-
publicans in comforting universal SUI
mage upon the negroes. A little cleo
pioneering activity and adroitness on
our side will show the Republicans
that they have beaten the bush for US
to catch the Birds"
The Chicago Ereniug Journal thus
comments upon the idea Of the World:
The World pleads guilty to the Oft
preferred and as often denied charge
that the Democracy Is the party Of ig-
norance. 1t Il worth while to make a
note of this admission. It is not at all
surprisine that the hope Of winning
the negro vote blooms in the Democra-
tic breast. The blacks, as . class, are
below the average in point Of intelli-
gence; but in this one matter Of poll
tics they have been educated. The
foreigner who comes to our shores Is
necessarily ignorant Of our modes and
tactics, what the World calls "activity
and adroitness," and Is liable, even If
well informed on general subjects, to
fall q victim to political chicanery, but
the negro Is a native Of the country.
Not only so, but for twenty or thirty
years has been the football Of politics.
EVERYBODY who has talked ''nigger +"
either on one side or the other. To be
thus harped upon would necessarily
give the negro a peculiar Interest in
politics. But more important still
Is the fact that a large proportion Of
the black voters know that In their e1-
odus from Egypt to Canaan, the Re-
publican party was their Moses and
the Democracy their Pharaoh. This
Of itself ought to be more than an off
set for Democratic activity and ad-
roitness."
We will have to look at the past to
see what the negroes will do. In the
States where universal suffrage had
previously been established, black
Democrats have been, and are, a:
scarce a. black swans. The Negro
votes secured have been influenced BY
terrorism.
