OUR TWO ESTEEMED OONTEMPORA.
RTES.

Another furious controversy has arisen be-
tween our two esteemed contemporaries, the
Times and Pjcdyasee, each with the largest
circulation In the Southwest, They are both
IN traternal accord as to the necessity of
silence toward oil rings and monopolies, but
on tho important question as to which shall
first get Its little measled half evening sheet
on the street first tho rivalry Is fierce, bitter,
vlndictiye and unremitting. Monday our es-
tcemed neighbor, tho Pic, In it's eagernoss to
scoop up two or three niCkels more than the
Times, rushed to press with o half made-up
statement OF the yellow fever report from
the Board of Health. The PICS report
being incomplete was, Of course, erroneous.
It reported sevonty-seven deaths when the
real number was eighty-elght AS the report
of the Board of Health is all tho news the half
sheet evening frauds print. this was, Of course,
q crushing error on the part of our esteemed
contemporary, the PicaYu',e, and our other
esteemed contemporary, the Times, was not
slow to take advantage Of 1t and denounce It's
unfortunate adversary In the forrest terms
for thus misreprosenting the facts. "a
fraud Is the unseemly term the Times,
Oh account Of the PICS slip up. ap-
piled to our mutually esteemed contempo-
rary. May we suggest to our able neighbor
that 20 fraud" is D. harsh term for journal
which loves the Louisiana Lottery Company,
Auditorial soIctorships, etc, to apply to d
contemporary which has been sweet on kel-
logg and Topped four or five times on the
constitutional convention question for the
purpose of catching the popular breeze. Our
two esteemed contemporaries are 50 similar
In their moral and political perceptions
and In their financial homogeneous
that they should not disturb the solemn
measure Of our thoughts ut this time by their
wranglings over the death report Of the
Board Of Health. In the cause Of peace and
harmony may we be permitted to offer sug-
gestion? The Picaytttc published a false re-
port, but itearned tho half dozen extra nickels
lot it therefore keep the peace. The Times,
defeated by the abnormal enterprise" Of the
Pic, lost the nokcls, but it printed correct
report and called Its esteemed neighbor "a
fraud Honors arc even; Let the quar-
rel stop. In the meantime we will
say to the public that, as the fierce
rivalry OF our two esteemed eontemp oraries,
each to get It's evening fraud on the street
first, may lead to the publication Of incorrect
reports from the Board of Health, the Demo-
Graf has established a bulletin board at the
corner OF Gravier and Camp streets, in front
Of the drug store Of l. l.. Lyons. Tho accu-
rate report of the Board Of Health Is every
day. as promptly aa tho reporter can come
from the office of the Board of Health, billeted
for the benefit of the public and 1t costs them
nothing to read it, Let our esteemed con-
temporaries bury the Ratchet and cease to
agitate stricken city with their wild, fero-
cious and unseemly wrangles.

On Friday last there was q novel contest
at rowing on the Passaic river, New Jersey,
the contestants being young ladies'. The
prowess displayed, as we'll as the pluck and
endurance, proved that the American girl con
handle al oar as effectively us her English
sisters The first race was for u gold watch
valued ut $50, two miles, the return against
the tide. The contestants were Miss Riepe,
whose stroke Is described as 'long, strong and
steady" and Miss Ebert who rowed ''a
quick, short, nervous stroke" Miss Riepe
won by twenty lengths In good time.
The second race was u "walk overno for q
Mrs. Thomas, she having q reputation that
frightened off oil competitors She Is de-
scrbed as very pretty little woman, with
the reputation OF having rowed II mile In
7Ool4. She made the two miles In o working
boat in 20 :o9b, the return mile against Il
strong current. When the annual regatta for
women Is established as ono Of the aquatic
events, our girls will give good account OF
themselves.

TO OONVALESOENT'S.

In all kindness, and not Wishing to appear
oIficiotis, we would advise convaIesceDt friends
to be careful Of themselves and not venture to
come out Of their houses until they have fully
regainod their health and strength. Yoster-
day ady, the daughter of ono Of our Oldest
and most respected merchants, died OF black
vonit. Just four weeks previously she had
been attuckch with tho yellow fever, remained
In bed for nine days. aud for the past twelve
days had been moving about, visiting friends,
etc. On Sunday she had u relapse, and died
yesterday. This case should be warning TO
persons convalrscing from the dreadful
gcotlrge which Is now raging In this city
Don't try your strength too soon.

SUGGESTIONS.

. Several gentlemen have suggested to us the
necessity of organizing an association lor the
burial OF the dead. Such an association Is alb
solutely needed. Those in prosperous cir
Fl eumstances can provide for the burial of their
own dead the city puts away the paupers.
But there Is u class of our people who are
| now unable to bury their dead, and who
ought not to see them hauled away in O char
itNwagon.
There are thousands Of people in our midst
now out OF employment, and many whose
character, eallings and occupations class them
amongst our best citizens. The fever RACES
III the midst OF these as in the midst Of all
other classes. Very many OF them are unable
TO bury their dead except with the aid OF the
CITY and the charity wagon. This Is cruelty,
An association should be organized to look
after such cases. The Towards furnish doc
tors, nurses, medicines and nourishment for
the sick. When the sick are convalescent the
Peahodys take charge OF them and feed them,
with all The other destitute. Now, then, let
as have an association to take charge OF the
hot!Ies Of those tho Towards and the Pea
bodps cannot save and bury them decently.
The crowds that gather at the depot Of sup
RIl6S SStdollSLcu ny 'ho L ot'ooiS 1Ao9'ol'efoA'
render 1t impossible to speedily supply the
multitude. 1t occurs to us that the work of
supplying the poor with rations might be
>saeilitated by establishing depots in several
portions Of the city, each under the manage
rnent Of a board or officers appointed by the
association and acquainted with the people
sf the locality or district.
IN the press at the depot the truly deserv-
Ing-often timid and reluctant to solicit re-
zief-aTe frequently showed aside by the ruder
and less deserving. We make any suggestion
TO the Intelligent and disinterested gentlemen
who organized the Peabody Association with
great dif1idence. They have doubtless can
vassed the whole subject of relief, and may
readily determine whether OF not it is best to
adopt this suggestion.

In West Virginia they say, Repeal your
whisky tax; you can't eollectit.' = The Times
has doubtless forgotten that the first i'm
pulse given to the free trade doctrine In
England was the result Of smuggling. Under
the heavy duties on imports the crime had
become so universal and those engaged in 1t
were so invariably protected by the people
that the government was compelled TO alter
it's policy. One Of the strongest arguments
made by the free traders in favor of the uboli-
ton Of import duties was that they encour-
uged and fostered the crime OF smuggling
and kept up u class Of most desperate Grim
nals, who could be got rid of only
by repeating tho duties which made their
traffic profitable The same argument
applies with equal force to the traffic along
the Mexican border, and the desperate re-
sistance being made to tho whisky tax by the
"moonsHners" of North Carolina, South Car
DINA, Kentucky Tennessee and West Vir-
ginia indicates that the argument may apply
to that tax ALSO
An excise law that provokes such gen.
erai opposition and is productive of SO
much violent criminality cannot be alto
gettcr commcndable and should be amended.
