Too much praise cannot be ae-
corded our Sanitary Police for their
diligence and efficiency in the per-
Torrance Of their arduOus duties. We
have never seen the alleys of Mem
phis in a better condition than they
now are. We do not mean by this, of
course, that they are in the condition
that a due regard for public health de
mands that they should be, but all
the very small force constituting the
| Sanitary Police could do toward put
ting them in proper condition, has
been done by them. The corporate
| authOrities-the Board of Aldermen,
are alone to blame that our streets and
alleys are not cleaned, and if it were
of any use to do so, we would point
out to them their duty in the matter.
