THE HEALTH BOARD.
Explanation OF the Failure to Pass the
Bill in Proper Shape.

The headless trunk of the bill 10 reorgan-
ize the State Board of Health was the sub
iect OF some comment around the State
offices yesterday, but the officials themselves
had fully recovered from the astonishment
incident to the find" of the day be-
fore. Auditor Rice, who drafted the
original bill, explained the cause
OF the omission of the eDactng
clause. He said that the bill went to the
Committee on Phraseology that some verbal
changes might be made, and the bill after
wsrd passed, was substituted for the origi-
nal, the report being 10 strike out ell after
the eDacting clause and substitute the fol-
lowing" which was the bill drawn By the
committee. In copying the recommenoa-
ton OF the committee, which would nave
left the enecting clause in the BILL was
overlooked and the substitute reported, the
smenOments considered eDgrossed and the
bill pstsed. Mr. Rice said that IS Il now ex-
isied the bill was DO doubt imperative and
the Health Board would stand as constituted
before the bill was introduced 10 reOrganizs

LET Us UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER

LET Us UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER.
The Sentinel OF yesterday had few plain
words to say of a Democratic Senator who,
throughout the session OF the Legislature, in
public ard il private, was ever ready to
speak disparsgjnSly Of The Sentinel. Though
aware of his thus taking We, dignifedly,
passed his ut,eTances by. His umbrsge was,
il appears. taken against TIE Sentinel solely
because he did not receive the mention" in
its columns which his conoeit led him to
fancy himself entitled 10. He did receive in
the Sentinels legislative reports the same
fair repre- sntasion Ct work performed as did
the majority OF the Senators; bat il appears
he, with less Of modesty than egotism,
esteemed himself rs deserving exceptional
mention oyer other excellent Democrats Of
the Senate.
Now We desire word With few Demo-
Gratis of this Senator's stripe. We have to
cay, in the first place, that the Sentinel Is
not to be driven IN this direction or that by
the selfish clamoring of any man or mer.
The purpose OF its publication is not the
manufacture of regulations for overcon-
csiied sspirants. Its aim Is the promotion
