Tho Tee of Health Laws,

That there is q use for sanitary regula-
tons, every one will admit. Particularly
is this truth obvious IN city like New Or
leans, where the system of drainage has to
overcome many disadvantages. Built upon
mere crust Of earth, with no means save
extraordinary and expensive mechanical
contriEsnces of perfecting its sewerage,
this dsy must rely in great part on strict
hygienic measures to keep it's inhabitants
free from diseases, and especially from epi-
demic.
The incorporation of sanitary company
invested with the exclusive right to carry
on the business of vidangeurs, at first met
with violent opposition and some abuse
Since the company has begun work, how
ever, the great superiority of the method,
both as regards health and convenience,
Las caused people to wender why such .
law was not made long ago. The persist
ence OF certain parties in continuing the
night soil business by system which had
been found obnoxious and pernicious, has
caused only disgust and evoked the out
spoken disapproval of the people. The
very persons who, at first, exclaimed against
the Sanitary and Excavsting Company as
monopoly, now demand that the company
should at once and effectually stop the
nightly nuisance perpetrated by those who
still follow the antique method. Acting
upon such suggestions and demands, the
company has caused several of the worst
offenders to be brought to justice. Yielding
to the plea OF these men, that no other
means Of livelihood was open to them, they
were dismissed for the first cffense. Per
sistence in their contumacy OF the law,
brought them again before the bar of
Justice yesterday. Four of them were sem
fenced to five days imprisonment in the
Parish Prison and fifth offender for violat-
ing health ordinance No. 448, will serve ten
days
Some cheap sympathy having been
gotten up for these law breakers, on the
score of poverty, it should be made known
that most of them own more than one mule
and cart, and come of them az many as
four teams.
The excuse of being limited to that
method OF making livelihood. will hardly
induce q long suffering community to en-
dure the pestiferous ordors disseminated
by their vile carts.

marked that he desired to change his
vote of last week in fhe matter of funding
the claim of $500, 900 put in by the Citi-
zens' Bank. When he voted in it's favor
he labored under the impression that the
bank possessed more solid securities than
it does in this case. His request was
granted, and his vote stands recorded as op-
posed to the funding of that claim.

1t will thus be seen that the importatione
have been during 1915, taking into &C.
count all our ports, 40O, 900 bags in excess
of any previous year for eight years. The
stock in first hands being declared at
$4,000 bags, 1t is safe to infer that middle
men and dealers are well supplied. 1t would
seem, therefore, that prices would inevira-
bly, decline. Such has not been the case
as yet; on the contrary, prices here have
stitfened. This may perhaps be due to the
scsntiness of the local supply. Quarantine
and the causes that lead thereto may have
also affected this market. However, it is
scarcely to be expected that after the re-
moval Of such causes, the present prices
can longer prevail.
The dealers in New York and Baltimore,
knowing that quarantine and trade restric-
tions would place the South and West at
their mercy, with shrewdness and sagacity
have possessed themselves OF two-thirds of
the stock. On Tuesday last the New York
market sprung up quarter Of cent, this,
too, in face of good news from Rio Jane;ro
as to yield, receipts and rates of sale and
exchange. While the restrictions implied
in this article, are by no means intended
to apply to quarantine laws or existing
sanitary regulations, they are put forth to
show the short. sightecness of commercial
community which, with full knowledge of
facts about to occur, has allowed the con-
troll Of leading article of importation to
pass to OF her cities.

Billiards..

In practice game between Messrs. Henry

in the st. Charles Billiard Saloon, Mr.. Mag
gioli was the victor by seventy eight points.
The game was at 800 points, French caroms,
Mr.. Rhines having the lead. Thirty three
innings we're played in an hour and half.
The winners average was Gill; his best
runs 81, 80, % and "a: the best runs of the
defeated were 80, 80, % and %.
The Chicago player has uphill work in
his practice, and the odds are greater than
ever in favor Of the New Orleans champion
for the match on Thursday next. Henry
Miller is practicing in fine form and his play
is both brilliant and solid. Mr.. Rhines'
play appears to be rather for position than
immediate scoring, but that may be his
method Of training. This evening another
practice game will be played.

The Last Day Of Grace.

N. c. Folger. Esq, the efficient tax co.'s
lector of the First District, announces by
card in another column that he will receive
taxes due the State until six O'Clock this
afternoon without penalties. Tomorrow
the law interferes. and will cause him to
exact the penalties OF, which taxpayers
have been constantly warned, however
much the collector may be disposed to be
lenient. To-day the eleventh hour men.
and those who until the last moment hold
money which hould be in the State treas
ury. will step up to Captain Folgers office
and settle, as they should have done long
ago. Those who resist taxation and every.
thing else upon the general principles that
to beat the State is to do good thing, will
repent Of their folly later in the season. A
resister said yesterday he would "take the
chances" He should take the chances
offered for payment to-day, and keep his
theories to practice on less energetic tax
collectors than Mr.. Folger.

Smith warrants are not found in the re

ferently before the investigating committee;
the circumstances occurred at different
