The Race War.

As we intimated last week, the so
called Oanville, Va, riot, is likely to
prove nothing more nor less than an
indiscriminate slaughter of cOlOred
people 10y whites. A staff correspond
end of the Philadelphia Press, who
has been at Danville investigating
the recent riot, says that the slaughter
of blacks was an entirely unprovOked
massacre done in the heat of passion.
He SAYS: Saturday evening is great
occasion in Danville. The colOred
people receive their pay from the
tobacco factories. The negroes gather
at the market place by the thousand to
buy their supplies for Sunday. When
the marketing was ut its hight a col
ored man and a white man got into an
alteration, whereupOn Il crowd of
whites rushed in and opened indiscrim-
mate fire upon the defenseless negroes.
The assailing party say that seven
were killed outright and twenty more
were wounded; but testimony is
abundant that this number does not
represent One-half the harvest of death
that afternoon. Not white man was

The Late Elections and the
Next President.


The Butler campaign is hardly over
before the prospects of the next years

the public, a disturbing element,
demoralizing the people. If it could

business man would rejoice and every
laborng man would he the gamer.
But election, like death and taxes,
cannot he evaded.
The November elections this year
seem tn demonstrate that neither
party next year is going to have an
easy task. They rather point to a
very hard contest. The turm-about
in New York shows that to he still a
doubtful state. The late elections also
show most conclusively that the south
ern states can he depended on as going
solid for the democratic nominee. The
