Es va antigua achaque en- nuestros

ta ) indirectamente, a LA DEMOCRACY.

nal, dirigirla injurias graves, crearla
situaciones dificiles Y darse luego DO!
ofendidos provocados 81 Sc les detienc
con energia y Sc les hace comprendcr
que es peligroso ell insulto mientras vea

He aqui ell case de ahora: como In
Reoista pretende rendir parias al yicjo
sistema, no sera indtil cue hagamos
una sintesis rapida breve de la situa-
cion que ocupan ambos peri6dicos.
Al encargarse de dirigir la Rcriaa el
senior don Agustin Navarrete, reanudo
con nosotros ell canje, y La DEMocRA-
GA, correspondence aquel rasgo de
deferencia, fue a visitar las oGcnas del
companero sin odios nj prevenciones de
ninguna especie.
Ocurri6 este el IS de Abril, ell 8 de
JUNO daba ell senior Navarrete su ere
9uat,y 4 un remitido en- que el repre-
sentante del circo Pubillones Sc dirigia
en- groseras fraSes 4 los hombres que
redactan esta hoia. Insertando el es-
critic insolente falt6 la ReriSta 4 las le-
yes del companerismo. Cuando en- cier-
ia OCCASION ell circo Nelson pretendio
utilizar, en- id6nticas condiciones, las
columnas de LA DEMocRACIA contra el
senor Cepeda, lie respondimos con uua
negativa rotunda. Fijese el pdbIico en-
ese contraste.
No alteramOs entonces la calma con
que veiamos al colega continuar su
evoluci6n, nj penSd6amos hcrjrle neHco

proceso y al proceso acudimos para
ilustrar los jueces, Y en- la prensa
cOntlnuamos la campana emprendida
contra las practicas inmorales de una
administration pervertida.
Y en- ell instante mismo en- que todo
ell pals nos enviaba sus aplausos nos
demostraba su adhesion nutriendo de

tado. Pero, en- iltimo extreme, 81
ademas de los derechos Sc exile
multa, debe 6sta graduarse en- pro-
porci6n con ell ra7or de la cosa 8
del derecho que le esta senalado en-
los aranceles.
El artfculo 151 dispone que "el
consignatario incurre en- falta Y
pagara multa por no presentar sus
declaraciones dentro del plazo de
48 horas, en- la forma siguiente: por
IN dta de demora diez pesos; por ca
da dia habil 8 festive de los 27 81
guientes tres pesos Y por cada dia
habil 8 festive del segundo mes
diey pesos, 8 sean en- totalidad 1891
por Ia demora de go dias en- presen-
tar las declaraciones. Hay empero
la salvedad de que Isl la mercancfa,
sea cual fuese su envase, no pasa
de veinte kil6gramos brutos, solo
pagara diez centavos de peso pOr
cada dia que transcurra hasta cum
plir los sesenta, en- cuyo plazo Sc
declara ell abandono." Pero esa sal
vedad no es sufciente para reducir
la multa q su iusto lfmite, pues no
es equitativo nj l6gico que por un
bulto que pese 21 kil6gramos Sc
exija igual pena que por IN carga-
mento complete.
Ademas de las multas que senala
el articulo 149 los capitanes por
las diferencias de mas 8 de menos
en- ell peso bruto, 81 aquellos Sc han
separado de 10 consignado en- los
conocimientos de embarque, impo-
ne el artfculo 151 igual multa a los
cOnsignatarios, es decir doble null
ta por ma misma falta que solo afec-
tar1a d la Hacienda en- 10 que le co
rrespondiese recaudar por derechos
de descarga, 3 de toneladas, que es
I'm gasto inherente a los capitanes
Comprendemos que Sc castigue al
consignatario de las mercancfas por
las diferencias de mds, nunca de
menos, entire su declaration y ell
resultado del reconocimiento, va

porque esas diferencias pudieran
la intenci6n de fraude, |
pero nosdebe hac6rsele responsible

en- los cuales no pueie

wife and 4 coiored employee OF the hotel

went out to do some shopping, leaving
Mr.. Manager alone in their room. She

Yesterday afternoon about dinner
time one oftlic men working OH tho G..
l. & W. transfer steamer Lizzie Town.
scnd, discovered tho body oil man
lodged against tho head Of barge lying
ut tho foot OF tho river bank at West
Wheeling. Tic body was taken ashore
and word was telephoned to Captain
Bill Prince, as it was supposed tho body
might DO that OF Bob Farnsworth, the
dcckhand who fell off tho steamer
Belle Prince on the second OF January
and was drowned.
The body was dressed in n pair Of
jeans trousers, q calico shirt and blue
blouse. It Ind evidently becn in the
water long time, as the fingers OF tho
hands wcro worn clear to tho bone.
Gloves were on the hands and pair OF
gaiter shoes on tlic-fcet which were
clothed in pair OF blue socks. On the
right temple u largo discoleratiouw
evident, but whether it originated from
blow dealt during life, or was caused
by drift wood or ice, could not DO ascer-
tanned. The face was very much swol-
len and totally uurccoguizablc, and tho
head was covered with growth OF
short hair.
One or two parties identified the body
asthat of Farnsworth, not loweverfrom
the indistinct features, but chiefly from
the clothing. When Captain Prince
arrived, he was OF the opinion that it
was not tho body OF that unfortunate
man, as tho fingers were. worn more
than could have been the case, had the
body tloated only milo and u half, that
being tho distance from the scene Of
Farnsworth's drowning to the place
where the body was found. Capt.
Prince decided that the body was not
that OF Farnsworth. Coroner Boyd had
walked up from Bellairc, having missed
the train, and conducted the invcstiga-
ton. There was no way to identify tho
body, rs nothing but paper OF scrap
was found in the pockets.
twas rumored in Wheeling that it
was the body OF Contractor D. NJ. Carey,
whose sad death by drowning, while
experimenting the work on tho stone
bridge, is still in mind, but the descrip-
tion OF the clothing worn by the iloater
soon set to rest the rumor OF the finding
OF Mr.. Carey's body.

Selling ut High Priccs-Northern Hot
House Productions in tho Market.
Early vegetables have already made
their appearance in the better class OF
green grocers' stores in the city. 1t is
true they have not appeared in great
quantities, in fact there is SO little de-
mand Tor them, that the wholesale pro-
duce houses have not yet commenced
to handle them, and the dealers who
want 4 few for their wcalthicr custom
ers are obliged to send to Pittsburg or
Cincinnati Tor crate or two.
The lNTELL1GESCERman yesterday saw
some splendid looking caulitiowers,
white as snow and hard as rocks, OK
hibited in the window OF a store on
Twelfth street, offered for sale at from
81 to so cents apiece, according to size
andquality. Although the season for
summer complaint has not yet arrived,
the enterprising Florida truck farmer
has taken good care that no one who
wishes to anticipate the balmv days OF
June need go without an attack Of the
pains superinduced by indulgence in
cucumbers.. a few OF the latter fruit are

ing at quarter apiece. Some Of the
restaurants are serving up fresh toma-
toes, and asmall mess can be bought
for dime, the tomatoes themselves
being worth 5 or cents apiece at the re-
tailer's.
All tho caulilower, cucumbcrs and
tomatoes in tho market come from
Florida. but several northern vege-
tables, dollhouse grown, are also in the
market Very, nice asparagus punches
