THE HEALTH TH-C0MM1ss1oHER AND THE
MAYOR.
We strove to be particularly lenient with
Commissioner DRWo1y tho other day, when
be first ventilated his seeond.handet, absurd,
and exploded theories about Chicago stencil
es. DxWoIv fs young u a Health-Con.uis-
sioner, and wo took pity on his immature
condition. We pointed out his errors Pa-
uently, as wo had already pointed out the
'same orrors to his predecessors, but forbore
to hurt his feelings. But il DxWo1F insists
upon being written down m ass, 1t certainly
ian't our fault. Il hs allows tho reporters TO
aaIo1o or bully him into talking, and then re-

character. Tho fact Is that, either through
ignorance or desire to protect the ronder-

TO an absurlity. and, instead Of seeking to
explain 1t away, ho should simply abandon 1t
and devote himself to the true cause OF tho
noxious odors. We do not propose to 60
over the whole ground again for the benefit
OF Mayor uEATu'a Health Commissioner. It
has been demonstrated over and over again,
anl fully explained in tho columns Of TIM
Tn1pusx, that the night stencil which infests
Chicago comes from the rendering establish
