Opening of the Public Schools.


Our public schools will open to-mor-
row-two weeks later than the time first
appointed, postpOnement having been
ordered on account of the prevalence oil
diphthsria in tho western part of the city.
We dare say that nothing has been lost
by giving the children al addition OF two
weeks TO their usual summer vacation.
Certainly We have heard no complaint
from them. and the wisdom Of the course
adoptei by the board has met with the
approval Of the great majority OF parents.
The board was in doubt and took the safe
side. This is standing order OF we'll
managed railroad companies, and Is
good rule FOX adoption aud practice by All
persons whose business II L. to deal with
the welfare md safety OF Others. Better
that ali the pupils should lose Two
weeks tuition than that one shou!n
lose his life by an error OF judgment
on tho part of our school authorities.
But we venture TO doubt If the children
have suffered any loss ut all. because
the two weeks past have been distinguished
for hot weather. and because had the
schools opened fortnight ago hundreds OF
pupils would have been entered only 20
secure their places, and would then have
been Withdrawn by prudent parents until
the alarm was over.
The fact that diphtheria has not pre-
vailed in Fulton, or on Church or Union
Hill. or in the valley OF Shockoo creek, or
in the heart of the city, al once annihllates
oil hetheOIics that would connect its pres
ence hore with our river drinking water,
or with any action Of the winds On the
gas in the sewers emptyiug into the James.
What causes produced IT we do not know
but il was always confined 10 II few neigh
borhoods, some of which were very filthy
and some Of which were very clean.
We are glad To- report that Rich
mond never was in a more clearly cOndi-
ton than at present, and that the Board
of Health is resolved to redOublc its ex-
ertions 20 perfect our sanitary system,
and that in tins purpose 1t will have the
liberal support of the City Council and
community.
Our condition now warrants the reopen
ing Of the schools. Ia one or two neigh
hoods only VIII cautiOnary measures he

to these the school authorities Will mako

walls will lie allowed 70 enter. or, having
been unadviscdly allowed TO enter, will be

This is an account OF the raising Of a
fund for nurses during the last three years,
amounting to 100000. which is to provide
annuities for the aged and disabled of tina,
class of persons who have qualified fol-
pensions in the ordinary way. The fund
was started by subscriptions Of 5000 each
from four merchant princes" of London.
The nurses readily appreciated the move

now an assured fact. The Princess OF
Wales is the president Of the fund. with
the Prince of Wales as patron, and many
other eminent persons in various capacities.

The most interesting and perhaps the
most significant piece of news tina; came
from Europe during the past week was the
announcement that the text of the Drci-
bund treaty was 10 be impaired 10 Lord
SALISBURY. The war-cloud which gath

Tho Porte has explained that the
Dardanelles incident violates no treaties,
and the presumption is that that explnna-
ton will 10 accepted by the Powers for

has served to throw important light upon
the general situation abroad and the rela-
tions Of the Powers to ono another 10
the first place il has developed very
clearly that Great Britain has not the
remo;est intention Of receding from her
traditional policy regarding the ap-
proachcs 70 tho Black Sea, and IN the
second place 1t has made apparent the
fact that SALIsBvBY can depend upon the
Triple Alliance 10 aid him in maintaining
that policy. Russia has been taught-and
not for the first time during this CEN
tury-just how far il is safe to

in ono phase % her historic game 1t is
manifest that Russia does not take the
Lesson Of the last few weeks TO heart in its
general bearing upon the question of tho
peace Of Europe. The maneuyros OF her
troops, her intriguing with Greece,
who was her only friend in the Cri-
mean war. aud the uneasiness that
exists In Roumania ell conspire to
keep the signatory Powers TO the
Triple Alliance III a state Of unrest and un-
certainty. In view Of this and the attitude
of France IN respect Of British occupation

This paper Will not support any candidate Tor
the legislature unless he announces his intcn
ton to advocate some measure for the improve
meni Of our roads.
There Il no measure before tho people Of
paramount importance 10 improvement Of the
county roads, and Wa trust the press Of the state
will take this matter up. and by refusing to sup
tort any man who will not actively advocate
some measure looking 10 this end, have ii done.
Why hire our cOuvicts ont 10 compete with
honest labor when there is TO much necessary
work TO be done where there is no competition?
our ba,tle-cry il: Improve the roads.-AUJolt
Ners and Courier.
We are all agreed that our roads are bad
and that it would be Of great benefit to
the people to have them put in fair condi-
ton, but it cannot be done without the
expenditure of considerable sums.
1t Is true that the outlay may be carried
over long term Of years, but the aggre-
gate VIII necessarily tc large. Now who
is TO provide this money, the counties or
the State? The expense viii fall upon
the State if the couyicts are furnished to
tho counties wholly without charge.
There is az this time statute which
permits the counties to hire convict:
upon easy terms, though few have evel
availed themselves Of it. In tho first
place convlcts cannot be worked on pub
/ lie roads TO advantage except III large
! gangs, because 1t Is almost as expensive &c
/ build quarters and hire guards for twenty.
five as for fifty. In the second place Tho
counties are not able TO work the conyict'
to advantage in the winter and they woulC
wish to return thom to the peniteniiarS
I durjnr that season, and should this be al
lowed the convicts would be consigned t,
a life of idleness all the winter, as no ma
would care to hire thcm with the under
standing that he must give them up IL th'
spring.
4 railroad contractor who has over {
hundred convicts on his hands has notified
/ the authorities here that he will surrende
them (as he has the right to do IN The
course of few weeks. Here is ganl
which might be sent TO two or three coun
| ties under the existing law. But Will tn
counties care 20 have them during til
winter? Hardly.
This road and convict question is all
/ important. We have long been writing Oh
/ the subject, but at last we must all face tn
question. Who is to pay the bills? If TIN
/ State, let US boldly say so if the counties
/ let that be known. Certain it is that the
money must come from one OF the othe
source. The penitentiary is now self-sup
porting.
We should like TO SEQ an experiment
made on a scale that would test the prac
ticability of putting the convicts out It
( do road work and If it was pronounced
success wo should advocate tho extension
of the system year by year until all TIL
main roads of the counties were put il
good condition.

As before stated, absolutely the only

scuiptured bronzes commemorative OF inc
various scenes in the life of Mr. DAVIS
while its surroundings and approaches
could he made very beautiful. Here Tue
monument would become the perpetual

the Bank OF England and other European
