The attention OF the Read Inspector
of the first district is called to the fact
that in the Blake road, Il short dis

on them after the rains have set in.
The rest Of the road between the town

It's Deplorable Condition and the Tn ghtIy
Surroundings To the Lee Monument.
Editor of The Times:
In few weeks Richmond is to be filed
with strangers visiting the Exposition.
Every day persons who have been spending
the season az the springs are passing through
our city and stop long enough TO take a
drive over our streets. None fail 10 drive
out Franklin street to the Lee monument
don't think It is going too far 20 say that
Franklin street from Third street out is but
in little better condition than country
road. At every crossing the stone is higher
than the road-bed and the entire way is full
of holes, making It a disgrace to our city
and thoroughly uncomfortable to drive
over.
Will our Engineer never learn that good
gravel is far better than crushed granite 10
make street? and does he propose to allow
this state Of things TO remain longer I?
Should not a good force OF men De put to
work at once t. dress up this most public
driving thoroughfare
Then, too, there arc q number of houses
being built on this street and the builders
are allowed to spread their material more
than half way across the road-bed and to
pile up their rubbish on the pavement. This
ought not TO be, and can be obyiated if these
builders are made to pile up their material
with some system. In a few weeks the great
trades parade will likely 90 up this street,
and the great piles of lumber and stone now
spread about should DO placed as close to
the sidewalk as possible to leave the street
clear. The police viii have 10 see to il then.
and they should begin now. Just little
painstaking and all necessity for police
work can be obyiated.
But what shall be said of the Lee monu
mentg What will the people say who now
visit us for the, first time since they were
here 10 unveli the great chieftaiu in bronze?
Look at those art-houses near il; look Of the
drt-stained pedestal; look at the ground
around abouti it. Shame on Us.

was made to nsssssfnate him; that the
whole thing was a job got UP between
Prick and the Pinkertons, of whom Berg
mann was an agent and employe, TO
throw upon .he strikers the odium OIL at-
tempted assassination.
In its last issue the Virginia Sun, the
organ Of the Third party, copies this en-
tire article. and puts it out as a state
ment of the Frick incident to be ac-
ccpted and believed.
We suppose If there Is any one thing in
this world not actually witnessed by
them. which every man, woman and
child in the United States knows to have
hammered, il is that II. g. Frick was re-
peatedly and dangerously shot and cut
by Bergmann IN an attempt by the latter
10 assassinate him, and every man neces-
sarily regards it as an insult to his In
telligence for another seriously to I'M
dertake to convince him, not by new tes-
tinony, but By argum eDt only that such
. is not the case. TO do this would be in
no respect different from an attempt TO
persuade him that Mr.. Lincoln was not
shot by Booth or Mr.. Garfield by Gli-
team. What then must people think of
the reliability of a paper when 1t de-
liberately puts ont TO them an argument
undertaking to prove that Frick had
himself shot to put up job on the
strikers?
This wickedness Of Tricks reminds us
of an incident in the examination of Mr..
Thomas jefferson Knowly for a lawyers
license, reported in the Flush Times Of
Alabama" AS follows:
The Judge-Is the wife entitled to
dover in the husbands lands if she sur
wives him!
Knowly-O-yes, Squire-in course
I've seen that tried in Alabama; that is,
Squire. you Understandable the estate IS
solvent to pay the debts.
Judge-SuppOse the husbands estate
is solvent. what then?
Knowly-Why. then. in course not
Judge-Why notf
KnowIy-Why not? Why. Squire, it
stands 10 reason; for then. you see. the
husband might gather a whole heap of
land. and then Just fraudently die to give
his wife dover rights to his land. | jest
know plenty Of men about here mean
enough TO do it and jump at the chance
Evidently, according to the Sun, Prick,
like the men in Alabama. was just mean
enough to die fraudulently for somebody
else's benefit.

harmony with the order of the universe.
They are in sympathy with Him that
dweIIs in the highest heavens, and with
his lowliest servant on earth. They hon
or all men.
Honesty and free-heartedness are to
them the badges Of nobility and the very
essentials of manhood. They have no
affinity for cheap things or mean things.
What is to cost nothing. what is manned
or torn or diseased they will offer to
neither man nor God. They must do
their very utmost and have the best, not
for selfshness sake, but for honor and
virtues sake. because they covet good
ness and merit and excellence, what is
true honest and just, pure, lovely and OF
good report in everything. Their souls
cannot be satisfied with what is low ana
comon and cheap. They would be de-
filed by it's possession, and would rather
die than live on it. Indeed, they were
put up after a large and high fashion.
The Prince Of Meanness cometh and hath
nothing in them. 1t is against their ma
ture to do anything otherwise than hand
somely. They are citizens OF the
world, cosmopoites; their words OF truth
are an universal language; their yea yeas
end nay nays are monometallic curren-
cy, good everywhere, redeemable in
every honest heart, the coinage of noble
souls.
Still third kind comes out OF the
mill, with the striking peculiarites of
both Of these, and of that compound are
the most of us.

CLEANSING THE CITY.

Every day the necessity for a thorough
cleansing of the city becomes more ana
more imperative. The strictest qiaran-
tine regulations which our authorities
both State and Federal, can adopt are
only partial safeguards against the
dreaded scourgc. Steamers bringing the
germs of the disease are constantly ar
irving in New York, and there is no tell
ing when some Of these cholera germs
may get n footbold somewhere In this
country and spread. Should they do so,
Richmond would be in as much danger
Ms any other city. Every day crowds OF
immigrants are coming from New YORK
via the Old Dominion line to Norfolk or
Newport's News,to 60 via the Chesape Ike
and Ohio railroad to Richmond to the
West. We therefore are right In the
line of travel of the very class which is
more likely than any other to spread the
disease. Should it come To the United
States at all, therefore, It will be az likely
10 reach Richmond as anywhere else.
With this fact staring us in the face
there can be no doubt of the vital i'm
portance Of at once having the city
thoroughly cleaned in every locality.
When cholera germs are floating around
irving to find n congenial resting place
they always settle in those places which
are filthy. They live and thrive IN dirt,
and once having found suitable home.
they increase with startling rapldity.
When the atmosphere of any locality is
filthy enough to furnish them fine Held
for incubation, a. soon as they appca:
in it is like touching a match to q pow
der magazine. There is 10 averting their
course then, and the fearful work of
death begins and generally continues I'M
I'll all material suitable to its develop
ment is exhausted.
TO be forewarned is to he forearmed.
There is no immediate danger yet but
il will be too late for the work to begin
after the danger has appeared. Every
hole and corner in the city-and there are
a great many most unsavory ones
should be inspected, and where
cleansing is necessary put IN
thorough order, and systsm
of competent sanitary inspection which
win keep them SO should be at once in
stituted. If this is done, even should
cholera come it will either give us the 60
by, or we will be ia condition to success
fully fight against it's fidious and ter
rible visitation. 1t will take some time
to effectually cleanse the city, and the
sooner the work is begun and finished the
better Everything else in comparison
with that sinks into insignihcance.
