William to England, at the time Of

vARDAMAN AND BLANCHARD.

Gov. Vardaman's statement to the
affect that the state board of
health of Louisiana had practiced
their usual discrimination and envasion
for the purpose of concealing the vel.
low fever conditions in New Orleans
has brough4 forth tart retort from
Gov. Blanchard. of Louisiana.
Governor Blanchard was asked
what he had to say with regard to
Governor Vardaman's statement that
his Governor Blanchard's) reply to
the Vardaman charge reminded Mis-
sissippi's Chief Executive more of
stage thunder than the music of the
heavens. - Governor Blanchard said:
ST do not think it becoming in me,
as Governor Of Louisiana, to take any
notice of this. further than to observe
that If the Governor OF Mississippi
did make use of this expression, the
most charitable view to be taken of it
is that, laboring under an entire mis-
apprehension of my motive, words and
action, he is merely protesting against
the entry of the Gov ernor of another
state into a domain IN which he,
above all the present governors of the
American States, has most conspicu-
ously shone. l think I may safely
leave to public Judgment Ia COM
parison of my own career in this re-
spect with that of the Governor of
Mississippi
Gov. Vardaman can feel perfectly
safe, however, as Mississippi has a
rigid quarantine against Louisiana,
and Governor Blanchard cannot enter.

A WISE MOVE.

The Mayor and Board of Aldermen
did wise thing on Monday when
they passed an ordinance requiring
that every house holder in the town
have his premises Thoroughly cleaned
up, but especially SO in regard to the
liberal use of coal oil on all pools of
water and in the cisterns. In the lat
ter is the real danger, for in this
town comparatively few mosquitoes
come from elsewhere than the cisterns.
II this request was rigidly complied
with the mosquitoes would soon disap.
pear. and this would be great com
fort if there was no danger from
fever: This could be very easily and
quickly accomplished if we would &c
about it i'll business way. A pint
Of coal oil put in the cistern once OF
twice week would be sufficient. II
you have pump in the cistern the
coal oil would not effect the water in
the least, the oil is SO much lighter
than the water that it floats on the
surface while the pump brings the
water from near the bottom. If you
havn't a pump get one at once, they
cost very little. If there was nc
danger at all from fever this would
be fine investment of little time
and money, for by it we would get
rid of the mosquito. Can't we work
in concert and accomplish this most
desirable result?
