TIMELY TOPICS.

Mr.. HALE, OF New York, who has not
been able to attend the sittings OF the
house for the past four weeks on
account of illness, has written Mr..
Crittenden, of Missouri, expressing bis
regret that his illness had prevented
him from taking any part in correcting
the injustice which was done to Brown,
of Kentucky, in the resolution of cen.
sure moved by himself and adopted by
the house in the earlier part of the ses'
sion. He repeats his conviction that so
far as the resolution imputed to Brown
any intention of prevarication or double
dealing in his response to the speaker,
himself and n majority of the house
had been misled, and had dono injus'
tice to- Brown. He adds: "a careful
examination of the record since, quail
flying it by my own distinct recollection,
satisfies me that did wrong to Brown
in i'm moutiDg this intent to him. and that
there was nothing in his response to the
speaker inconsistent with good faith or
integrity of an upright and honorable
man. I.shall never hesitate to express
freely the conviction that I have above
expressed to you, and il anything con-
tanned in this le,tor within your iudg-
ment be of service to Mr.. Brown, I beg
you to consider the letter entirely at
your service, for any use whatever that
you or other friends of Mr.. Brown may
think proper to make OF it,"

The proceedings Of the Senate show
that tho bill for equalizing bounties was not
in proper shape for the signatures OF the
speaker and Of tho yico'prisdent, 1t being
held by old and experienced senators that the
motion to lay tho report on tho table, which
was agreed to by q vote Of 80 to "a, was un-
densbly refusal on tho part Of tho senate
to accept the report. Much surprise was ex-
pressed that tho bill, though not finally agreed
to by tho senate, should find its way to the
president, signedby the presiding officer of each
house. The president was informed Of these
facts and he withheld his signature; but If
the bill had come before him in an unqnes-
tionable manner, he would have returned it
for the reason, first, that the bill appropriated
from the treasury a largo sum of money at
time when tho revenue IL insufficient for the
current wants; second, ho did not believo that
any considerable portion OF the eX-soders
who were supposed would be beDoftted by
this appropriation, wero applicants for it,
but rather that ii would result more in n meas

The Chicago Tribune would not be
surprised if the first test case on the
constitutionality OF the civil rights bill
should come from the north, assigning
as it's reason that while tae number OF
people in the north who now deny any
Of tho political rights of the negro is
very small; the number of those who
entertain social prejudices is still very
large. The practice of excluding me-
groeS from the public dinipg-rooms Of
first-class hotels and the choice seats in
first-class theatres and operas is 40 gen.
eral in the north as in tho south, and u
test case is as likely to 80 to the supreme
court on one OF those points from
Chicago, Boston or New York, as it is
from New Orleans, Louisville or Rich
mond.

In twenty-one counties in Georgia,
very careful agricultural statistics were
collected last year, in compliance with
state law. In these counties the
whites had S5,697 sheep; the negroes
barely 2G5. They owned 4, 2l1 dogs, or
about twenty times as many dogs as
sheep, to supply them with wool for
clothing and mutton. 1t is difficult to
discover any way in which southern
agriculture may prosper while savage
taste for dogs and guns are so powerful,
not only with persons Of color, but
with some millions of tho white race.
In the twenty-one, the counties referred
to, the whites keep seventeen thousand

Our pure, public-spirited, generous and
noble friend was q devQtee TO truth in TACT
and truth in principle, having no conceal
ments and being thorough admirer of all
true men. Always faithful friend, he was
most friendly to those whom be found to be
like himself-candid, generous and true. In
temper he was often impe.uous and some
times even irascible; but in the very tempest
of indignation he never forgot courtesy or
justice. He possessed great moral courage
and, being quickin thought as well as utterly
candid, he never hesitsted q moment in an
nouncing his convictions. While Others
halted, he dashed forward, took his position
boldly, and then maintained it with uncom-
mon skill and vigor.

The earthquake shocks last week in Ohio,
Indiana and illinois. coming so soon after the
great upheaval in South America, recall the
fact that in 1911 the earthquakes which were
so devastating along the line of the Andes
were also felt in the Mississippi Valley. The
Cincinnati Gazette says that at the time OF the
destruction Of Caracas, in that year buildings
were violently shaken in Cincinnati. and al
New Madrid, Missouri, two or three small
lakes were formed and the course OF the Mis-.
sissippi River diverted. 1t may be that the
tremblings felt last week in the Western States

in South America than have yet been reported

OUR FIRE DEPARTMENTS.

We have been called upon by several gen.
tlemen representing the Fire Department Of
the Sixth District. who, having observed the
article in the Friday morning BULLETIN on
etiquette and Firemen," desire to state
that their department is willing and anxious
to perfect some arrangement which will pre-
vent Observation-Disclosures in the future and
rebound to the general good. They express
themselves as entirely willing that the COM
panies of the old department shall cross the
line at any and all times, and that, their
desire being to exhuguish fires as rapidly as
possible and save property from destruction
by fire, they will be only too glad to have
every assistance in so doing.
This is precisely as it should be, and we
are pleased to be enabled to make SO credita-
BILE statement in behalf of our Sixth Dis
trict firemen. We fully anticipate similar
expression from the gentlemen in the old de-
partment knowing, as we do, their desire to
promote the public good, and their determi-
nation not to be outdone in courtesy. In the
last fire near the line, it SO happened that No.
% of the old department was first on the
ground, and very sensibly went to work at
once to put out the fire when the engine
companies from above arrived they may have
felt q little annoyed at being behind, but
they had the good sense not to interfere, and
to be quite content that the boys from below
should have the credit which they deserved
We want to see our firemsn put away all
feelings Of jealousy, il, indeed, any exist and
cultivate . generous and laudable rivalry.
Each company, irrespective of location, striv-
ing by sssry fair means to Guido the other,
but all bound together by such sentiments of
friendship and mutual esteem as to make
them proud to bear the name Of fireman.
The history of our Fire Department is one
of which we may all feel justly proud, its
pages are emblazoned with deeds of peerless
valor, andi il is our wish 70 see the department
maintain untarnished, BY even slight blem-
ish. its stainless record.
Let, therefore, the two departments shake
hands across the line in perfect amity and
tslzovship. sand good must inevitably be
the result

AN IMPORTANT MATTER.

II there is any city in the United States
that should take more pains than another
to avoid even the least occasion for sickness,
and that should be scrupulously particular in
it's hygienic workings, it is New Orleans. At
the approach of every summer efforts are
made to induce strangers to believe that our
city is unhealthy and not q safe place to live
in. Now, whilst all who have ever lived
here know that these reports are based
either upon willful Misrepresentation or
are the result of culpable ignorance, still it
would be we'll for us to try to bring about such
a condition of affairs as would rather tend to
give our home reputation for salubrity and
healthfulness. In order to do this we must
exert particular care in keeping the city free
from all that can possibly tend to produce
disease. Our drainage arrangements should
be we'll and constantly inspected and put in
complete order, our streets should be kept
carefully clean, and the cutters and canals
kept free from stagnant water, or unpleasant
refuse.
The system of occasionally flooding our
cutters, so as to keep them free from dirt, is
q good one, and does not involve any great
trouble or expense. Among the items that
deserve the greatest attention is the food that
is daily sold and served to our citizens. SAM
tary inspectors should be kept constantly on
the alert to detect any effort made to sell any
article Of food that can in any way
tend to produce disease. The con-
sumption of impure or tainted food is
one of the greatest sources of disease, and
should be carefully avoided. Meat sold in
the markets which has been kept upon the
stalls for several days before it is sold, is
almost sure to produce sickness, and in some
cases, Of the most virulent and dangerous
form.
Much Of the milk served by our milkmen
is adulterated and unfit for use. This alone
is suff cient to cause illness, and is now
attracting great attention in many Of
the Northern cities In New York an
effort was made to enact law
permitting the sale of what is known as soal
milk. and the prompt veto Of Gov. Tilden to
the act has been the subject of great congra-
tuation to him by the press and public of
the State. The attention of the Governor of
Illinois has been invited to consideration of
the subject, and similar efforts to suppress the
sale of impure milk is being made in many
other cities and States. The plan adopted
some time ago in another city, of stopping the
milk carts on their approach to the city, and
inspecting the character of their stock, is
good one. Severe penalties were in many in
stances inflicted upon guilty milkmen, and
the result has proved highly beneficial The
same plan was tried here several years ago.
and it was discoverel that nearly every milk
man in the city sold adulterated milk to his
customers.
This subject is eminently worthy of the
consideration Of the authorities, and if
properly attended to will, of certainty, re-
suit in great benefit to our city and people.
