afraid of the inferior one. The superiors
are wiiliag to let the others live quietly
if they will recognize their inferiOTity,
but when any of them show their "iuso-
lence" by exercising their constitutional
rights. the blood of the Danville aristoc-
racy gets dangerously hot, and somebody
is liable To be hurt
1t is y Danville theory that the hest
plan is to shoot the negro leaders. This
plan has heen acted upon many times in
the South, and has been found to work
well in keeping down" the insolence of
the colored people. Ali this Is instruc
tive, and it deserves serious study. 1t
shows that social and political evolution
in many parts of the South is very slow,
and that in such parts the white people
have not in any real sense accepted the
situation yet. They are bent upon ruling,
if not by numbers, then by force They
do not recognize the equality of the
colored citizen. They preserve all the
aristocratic airs and assumptions of the
old planters. They are so backwar that
they do not even know that there is
anything peculiar in their manners and
theories. And these are the men who
still hope to be able, by suppressing the
free suffrage of the North, to obtain
sectional influence which will enable
them to govern the free citizens of the
South, whom no doubt Danville still
looks upon generally as "mudsills. N.

THE Cincinnati Commercial Advert
ser. Of February 27. 1892, said of the high
water that distinguished that year:
On Friday evening, the 10th. the Ohio
river had risen to within five feet of the
great rise OF 1915. and came to a stand,
and on Saturday fell five inches, but
began to rise again on the 18th, on ac-
count OF immense rains, and rose at the
astonishing rate of from three to four
inches per hour. Heretofore it had
never been known to rise more than six
to ten inches in twenty four hours. AT
p. m. on the 18th it was within feet
inches of the mark of 1915. 1t contin-
ued rising till the 18th. when it reached
its highest. At Z a. ID. OR the 18th, it
began to fall. During the rise many
women and children had to be taken
from the tops of the houses, where they
had taken refuge. On the 18th the
steamer Daniel Webster discharged her
cargo at Plum and Pearl streets, and
steam ferrybuats landed at Plum and
Second. The largest steamboats, might
have passed from Vine street down Sec
oud, and five hundred buildings were
huuded. The water flowed within six
feet of the spot at the site of old Fort
Washington, fixed by Indian tradition
"aS the high water mark of the highest
'hOod ever known to the Indians"
We learn from good authority that
the late rise exceeded that o. 1898, ny 3
feet 8 inches. and that of 1915 by feet
10 inches. In our counting room, fourth
story Latham's building, the water was
s feet inches deep.
If we are to take the quoted sentence
TO mean that six feet more direct rise in
50 would have carried the Ohio to the
point where the Indians located the
highest water, we have little over
matched tradition this year, the mark of
"a being above that of '32 six feet nine
and three fourth inches. The Indians
had not the most exact methods Of
measurement, however The story of
the flood six feet higher than that of '32
is not as incredible as it was.-Cin. Com.

A Street Car Incident.

Are you cold Amelia?' came in gen.
tie tones across the car.

A Realistic Southern Picture.

The investigation into the Danville
picture of certain kind Of Southern
civilization than has ever been presented
before. The Danville white men are
evidently frank and ingenious people,
who are not the least doubtful about the
propriett of their actions, and who are
quite sue that a simple statement of
the facts viii vindicate thu m. They
sh luld not be blamed for their candor.
On the contrary, it is useful, since it is
giving the country what must be felt to
be truthful account of a social condi-
tion which must be thoroughly compre
hended before it can be changed for the
better. No attempt has been made by
these white witnesses to conceal their
rooted conviction that a great gulf is
fixed between themselves and the colored
people. Their allusions TO the latter ex-
press a cool contempt very like what the
French Marquis of the old regime felt
for the peasantry. 1t is taken for granted
that nobody will assume the existence of
any approach to equality between the
two races, and that when a white man
addresses u negro it must be in tone
of command. 1--WE don't ask negroes to
do anything" said one of these candid
witnesses. But the negroes are prone
to insolence, it seems. The peasant takes
liberties with his lordship the Marquis
And where the one exists in such an at
mOsphere of self appreciation the other
very easily offendS. Thus, We find that
for one negro to ''call the Conservative
party hard names" was generally ac-
counted at Danville piece Of presump-
tion inviting at least "a genteel thrash
ing" and, possibly, more severe penal
| ties.
There is an undercurrent of apprehen-
sion among the aristocracy of Danville,
despite their great superiority. That
spectre of negro uprisings which has
always haunted slave holding conmuni-
ties, and which now seems to survive
slavery because the spirit of slave hold,
ing is after all not yet dead, disturbs
these superior people. "If We had not
used our pistols we would have been
shot into smithereens, sir; and not only
that, our wives and sisters would have
been murdered in their homes" said one
witness. Because of this strange chronic
panic. which rests on no experience, but
is contrary to all experience. every white
man in Danville is a walking arsenal
and thinks il necessary to "use his pis
tol'' on the slightest provocation. The
negroes are not in the habit of going
armed. 1t is the superior race that, &C
cording to its own confession, is always
