tered the council chamber at the head OF the
Southern Governors. twenty-five minutes
were then consumed In handshskAg and in
Productions. Gov. Mckinney called the body
to order and said: Gentlemen. It Is a time
honored custom in Virginia to open all de-
Lucrative bodies by asking Gods blessing
He then called upon Mr.. Nelson OF the Baptist
Church. who offered a brief prayer. at the
close OF which the Governor delivered a cor
dial welcome to the visitors. He then nomi-
mated Gov. Fishback OF Arkansas as the tenn
porary Chairman. who was unanimously

Gov. Fishback took the chair and responded

Within the week that has passed since
the President OF the Board OF Health sent out
notice to the public that the Board was ready
to give immediate attention to all complaints
respecting nuisances detrimental to health. n
good many complaints have been laid before
1t by citizens Of several wards. We believe
That every one Of these complaints has been
promptly attended to. We are informed TINT.
though some Of the nuisances complained OF
cannot at once be done away with. the Board
has adopted means through which they will
be removed. We feel certain that President
WILSON meant what he said In his letter Of In
struction to DR.. ROBERTS. We feel certain that
Dr.. EDISON will do his duty.
Lot all citizens who arc cognizant Of public
nuisances detrimental to health take the
trouble to bring them to the notice Of the
Board Of Health. 1t is better to do that than
to suffer from them. or to tolerate them, or to
Rroan over them. or to write letters to the
papers about them. Let all our citizens at
tend to their own business. part Of which con-
eists In attention to public business.

Never at any other time when western
Europe was threatened with cholera were
such preparations made to deal with it as are
made this year. In almost every European
country cholera conferences have already been
held. and sanitary precautions have been
adopted under Government authority. and
bodies OF doctors have been organized for i'm
mediate service. This is q wise policy. and we
have every reason to hope that important adj
vantages will accrue from it.
In this country. also. we are far better pre-
pared to deal with cholera than we ever were
at any other time OF danger from 1t. At the
recent conference held here by the Boards Of
Health OF the various States. we hal pretty
good evidence that tho officers OF all these
Boards are ready for service at any time in
which it may be announced that cholera has
appeared In any locality. These facts are en-
courHRlnp.

Reform In Liquor Selling.

On and after May Is next. licenses issued
to storekeepers In this city to sell liquor.
not to be drank on the premises. will cost
5000 a year instead OF $50 as heretofore.
The new rnte which applies to those whose
sales aggregate less than 81, 800 q year. was
agreed upon by the Excise Board on Tues
day. Its adoption Is a s%alutary. practical
bio, and proper measure OF excise reform.
1t is sn,utary. because it will tNNd to re-
strict the evil Of surroptitious drinking In
grocery. provision. and drug stores which
are patronized by women. and in which the
charge for liquor is added to tho cost OF
household commodities.
II ia practicable. because 1t will augment
the city's excise revenues. without q cor
responding Increase In the number OF
saloons or in the amount OF liquor sold.
1t lie proper. because 1t will do away with
the unfair distinction which has heretofore
existed between ordinary saloons where
liquor is sold openly. and stores where the
same article is sold privately.
The evils OF inteInperance are always diff
cult to combat in q grrat city. and they are
often aggravated by n Multiplication OF rules
and restrictionsfmposs{bl OF enforcement.
Spying. secret sales. evasions OF the full
tax by securing n lower grade Of license
rate. and adulterntion. are some OF the re-
suits which follow the adoption OF imprac-
ticahls or burdensome regulations. The
Board OF Excise. by increasing the rate OF
the storokeeper's license. will limit secret
sales, and thus aid In doing away with an
abuse. The liquor " not to be drank upon
tho premises" when the terms OF the law
are observed. Is whiskey. rum, and gin. 1t
Is sold in bottles. Liquor which may be
drank on the premises or not. as the pur-
chaser prefers. is usually OF the lighter
grade Of ale or beer. II any discrimination
Is made, there Is no good reason why 1t
sh6tska Be. fasThefstofors. in favor of the
storekeepers. Henceforth there will be no
suchdiscrimtnation, and the Commission
ersSpfE Excise aresto be commended for tho
change. which they;say.ts also to include
another: No increase in the present num-
Der Of storekeepers' licenses: one can only
be issued to a new place on the surrender
Of another already existing.

Public hearing was had yesterday before the

1t is bad for Chicago that so many reports
nave been put IN circulation about the extor-
tionate prices that are to be charged for every
thing during the Exhibition. According to nc.
counts We have seen in European papers. the
MOTEL rates In Chicago. and tho rent OF lod.-
ings. and the cost Of supplies. and the cab
fares are to be or even friehten-
some. Some OF these papers give figures sent
to them from Chicago in reply to inquiries:
and the figures are used to stir UP III nature
or are made the subject Of rldicule. There is
no doubt that many people will be prevented
from going to the Exhibition by the circula-
tion OF such reports.
The Chicago people who desire to make
money out OF the Exhibition ought to combine
Tor the establishment OF fair prices. as far as
possible. II very many true stories Of oxtor-
tlonate charges ARE set afloat after the Exhi-
bition Is opened next month. the Exhibition

There are few Europeans who like to bo made

Rarely has a Governor Of any State OF the

State to lay in a stock OF liquors for tho con-
sumption OF South Carclinians under the new
law by which tho State Government Is en-
powered to conduct and control the liquor
traffic OF the State. He has been in Pittsburgh

chases In any such place: or at least we do not

DIPLOMA1ICLL


ToTHE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sr: Your Wash
ington correspondent erred when he wrote
that Sir Julian Pauncefote is the first Am
bassador from any country to the United
States China sent Mr.. Burlingame to us as
an Ambassador. and. il l mistake not. China
subsequently, sent other Ambassadors. Forty
years ago or Whereabouts the Pope sent hither
aNuncio. which. in ecclesIastica diplomacy, is
a grade recognized as the same as an Ambas.
sadorin political diplomacy. Nor is Mr.. Bayard
the first Ambassador commissioned by the
President. for President Fillmore sent Com.
modore Perry as an Ambassador to japan. and
under that title he signed a treaty.
1t is noteworthy that In the first volume of
Whartop's International Law Digest" page
62o. is a sharp note Of July .. 1885. to Minister
Phelps at London In reply to his urgency to 10
an Ambassador. wherein Mr.. Bayard refers
to the Inconvenience which. in our simple
social democracy. might attend the reception
In this country OF an extraordinarily foreign
privileged class" Those Inconvenience"
may yet be felt when a punctilious Am bassa-
dor demands at Washington the ceremonies
which the presidents permit oil Am bassadors
to exact. Mr.. Bayard then exploded the COM
plant In regard to precedence in business by
quoting the rule Of tho Berlin Foreign ONCE.
adopted On Jan. 20. 1877. rs follows:
The chief of a mission who arrives first Is first ad.
mttted. be his rank that of Ambassador. Minister, or
Charge"
Odo Russell. the British Ambassador at Ber-
lin. gave to the writer an amusing account Of
his experience of the perils OF n chief Of en-
bassy. when the then Crown Prince sent word
that he would dine with the Ambassador on a
day named and also sent the names OF forty
guests to DO invited to meet the Grown Prince.
