The Difficulty Mt Danvllle.

NtW orr ItNltS
Tho political riot in Danville, Va, has been
promptly used by the bourbons to deepen race
prejudces. There is nothing to show that
either whites or black melted or encouraged
the rowdyism which eliminated in blood
shed. A white man was crowded or jostled
off sidewalk by a negro, it is said. There
upon the Caucasian blood was inhamed and,
after little preliminary skirmishing promis-
'cuous firing began, and several persons, nearly
all negroes, were killed. 1t is boasted that tho
whites are more numerous and arc better
armed than the blacks. Nevertheless the peo-
plo of Richmond think 1t necessary to hold q
mass meeting at which they "affectionately,
earnestly, and solemnly entreat white men
to take tho part of their own race" when
conflicts like this are forced upon them. 1t
was hardly necessary to urge this upon the
people of Virginia, as they do, as rule re-
gard even the slightest disorder as q negro
rising which must be stamped out at once.
The Danville riot is not n trivial affair. il
is not certain whether the white men or the
negroes were tho promoters of the trouble
But 1t is certain that the bourbons have made
haste to cry, "Wolf!" as they have so many
times before when any excuse for their outcry
could be found
Ne,o York Tribune.
The fight between some negroes and some
white men on Saturday night in Danville, Va,
is certainly lamentable; but it is difficult tC
see on what facts certain citizens of Richmond
base their resolutions adopted at a mass meet
ing last night to the effect that the affair wal
the result of conspiracy formed by coalition
leaders to precipitate war Of races. The early
accounts of the trouble state that it begar
when white "citizen" " beat q negro who haC
abused another negro for apologizing for {
rudeness to somebody. This was question
of manners, we should think, in which dis
putants were about equal. Moreover, wher
the firing began the order was given by thu
white leader of the white crowd, which woult
not have got into fight if it had not beer
spelling for one. The attempt of the demo
Gratis to make political capital out of the atfai
is as amusing as their appeal to southern
whites to take their own part is unnecessary

Saphir was a remarkably ugly Jew, who
was deformed in person, who lived several
centuries ago in Germany, and who was a
marvel of satiricsl wit. Nobody was ever
known to have got the better of him in repair

down to the present times. The following
was his style Of talking back to people:
He was travelling in a stage coach in COM

the personal appearance Of Saphir, and were
disposed to make fun of him generally. lie

manger, and his last were thieves on Mount

How to Count.

1t is related that when, at the Franco-G er-
man peace preliminaries, the sum of millards
which sat so light on France--was mem
toned by Bismarck, Jules Favre appeared
utterly speeches with horror. When he had
recovered from the paroxysm, all he could
say was "that, even if one were to count
from the time Of Christ till now, one could
not manage to count such an enormous sum"
Upon which Bismarck replied, with a smile,
Don't let that distress you; | have thought
of that, and therefore brought this gentleman"
pointing to Bleichroeder, the Jewish ban
ker--"with me. He counts from the creation
of the world" In counting time the Jews
pay no regard to the Christian era.

Last Regular Meeting Of the Present
Body-Adjournment Sine Die.
The Board of Health held its last stated
meeting, last evening. A petition was pre-
sented and referred TO Council, calling at
tentiOn to the filthy condition of Morrow
street Five new cases of smallpox were
reported by the secretary. DR.. Patterson re-
ported 60 vaccinations since the Goth of
April for which he was allowed $40. The
secretary was instructed to discontinue not
flying the Boards physicians of cases of
smallpox, as the Board had no further jur-
lsdictiOn. The city vaccine physicians will
be notified hereafter uutil the new Board is
appointed.
Executive officer Ward reported that
family living at Thirteenth and Poplar,
suffering with smallpox, were in great need
or food. The secretary was instructed TO
notify the Trustees of the Poor of the case,
and request them to take immediate action
in the matter.
President Bush, read an address which
stated that the smallpox was not at preva-
lent as in 1882 and that the most unpro-
tected from this disease were the colored
people, who from either carelessness or blind
prejudice did not use the precaution of Vaci-
nation. He commended the bill making it
obligatory for every child entering public
schools to give satisfactory evidence of hav-
lug Deen VacclnaIeu. he also spoke OF inc
futile attempts of the Board to induce
Council to adopt system of sewerage. He
concluded his remarks by pronouncing the
city sand lot unfit for habitation, and sug-
gested that it be turned into a park so that
the decaying matter which has been thrown
there, could consume itself, and warned
persons against building dwelling houses
upon 1t.
The following bills were allowed Fxecu-
tive Officer Ward, $17; Executive Officer
Gaynor, $3.50; William F. Holland, 50;
William Fisher, 81; James Stewart, So.
Before adjourning an informal discussion
showed the members to be in favor of
registry of nurses, and arrangements TO that
effect will be made In a short time.
The Board then adjourned sine die.
