The Board Of Health has brought shout many
much needed reforms, but 1t has thus far sig
nslly failed to render the garbage service - ef-
feetive as 1t ought to be, and to-day the slop
aecumuiations In almost every back yard In the
city constitute one Of the most foul and mon
strous nuisances in the District. Complaint y
made that siops and garbage are not removed
Cat least in many locslities) oftener than once
in ten days or two weeks, but are allowed to &C
cumulate and decompose, filling the air with
the most noxious and pestilential exhAiations.
II 10 wholly uselsss for citisens to appeal either
to the garbage master or the Board Of Health
for relief. The nrst excuses himself by saying
that his district Is too large, Ii 10 impossible to
do the work, &c, while any complaint made to
the board u referred a. Q matter Of form, but
nothing 10 ever done about It. These facts are
not exaggerated, and the board should do some
thing ct once to remedy the crying evil. II the
force Of garbage collectors Is too small, and We
are inclined to believe IL 10, let IL be increased
Immediately. We understand the Goveropr has
given the board authority to do this, ami they
Rheuld act without delay.

Reference was made YESTERDAY i'm this col =

Rerieo giving the results of late investigations
In regard TO the spread and fatal character of
disease, and the local causes which tend To
check or to encourage Its progress. The Reriep
article, also, presented certain statistics derived
from series of maps and charts prepared by
leading investigators, DIR. Haviland, DIR. Bry
son, Keith tombstone, and others. exhibiting by
shades and colors the distribution of health and
disease over the world. These embrace general
maps showing the average mortality of differ
ent districts, and special maps indicating the
relative prevSlence of distinct affections: as,
for example, rheumatism, heart disease, phthi-
sis, ague, or cancer.

ness for more. The character of the soil is even
more important than the contour of the surface.
mountain slopes and submits, table-lands ana
eleyatsd plains, mountain valleys, which ara
the cradles Of streams and torrents fertile hills,
valleys, and basins, and districts swept BY the
sea-breeze, each have specific relation to dis
tinct types OF disease. In wild upland valleys
rheumatism prevails. On the other hand, bar
ometric elevation or some concurrent cause Is

This terrible disease revels in river valleys.
Damp, associated with alluvisl soil and heavy
atmospheric pressure, appears to be predis-s

Mr.. MCMULLEN was the person who fur
nished Sir Hugh Allan's letters to his adver-
saries to print. McMullen was one of his
correspondents who was understood to be
able to interest that important but very prac-
tical class of our fellow citizens known as
capitalists in the Canadian Pacific scheme.
When the "deep game'' had been played,
McMullen proved to be sordid fellow
who valued his services higher than any
body else, and with this view of the
case he made money demand upon Sir
Hugh proportionate to the vastness of the en-
terprise in which the latter had embarked.
1t was however, compromised, one part being
paid in hand and the other deposited payable
to McMullen's order when he should return
the letters which he had received from Sir
Hugh. Probably the operator obtained bet
ter price for the letters from Sir Hugh's enc
mics. Hence the publication and the stir.

The proposal of Mr.. Dexter A. Hawkins
at the Bowdoin Alumni dinner on Wednes-
day in regard to creating State University
on the models of Oxford and Cambridge, ex-
cited more attention, perhaps, than its mer-
its deserved. The plan is very attractive
one and the only objection to it is its utter
impracticablity. 1t is not for a moment to
be imagined that the young and vigorous col
leges would consent to yield all that the more
urally demand. The miserable pttance
which the State might be induced to grant to
the new University would be but small COM
pensation for the loss of independence and
individuality. Mr.. Hawkins's plan contem-
plates that Bowdoin, as the Oldest Institution
in the State, shall assume the leadership and
become the head of the federative colleges,
and that, as he expressed it, the university
shall be located at Brunswick" This Uni
versty is to be governed by a board Of re-
gents or some analogous body appointed by
the State, with very limited powers, whose
chief business will be TO approve whatever is
laid before it. Each college retains its pres
ent UNCONVENTIONAL establishment and its
special system of government, subject only to
the almost meaningless supervision ofthe State
Board. In word the plan is that of college
confederation for the purpose of obtaining aid
from the State. Mr.. Hawkins did not go into
detail nor develop. his plan with any minute
ness. Indeed it was rather suggestion Of a
plan than aplan itself. He took as his model
the University of Oxford. But surely there
is little analogy between the relation of Mag
dalen and Caius Colleges to the great English
University and the relations which Bowdoin,
Colby and Bates would bear to each other
and to the State Board. THERE'S something
grand and attractive in the idea of great
State University, with classical schools at
Brunswick, and Waterville and Lewiston, an
agricultural and technical school at Orono,
medical school in connection with the hos
pital at Portland, and divinity and law
schools at places not yet determined. The
board of regents would furnish comfortable
and dignified positions for elderly gentlemen
ofculture and leisure, the chief duties of
whom would be to bear imposing titles
and to meet and dine on slight pre-
texts. On the whole the scheme seems
somewhat Quixotic and utterly lacks feast
bility.

Those who have watched the movements

sion that the gentlemen who have SO long

Of rulers has succeeded, that know not the

have rare opportunity to adopt policy that
in time win greatly develop their business in
Maine. The business men of Maine are not

cusable delays, with high tariffs cannot be
without some real cause. We believe that
Maine people will highly appreciate liberal
policy and efficient service. The past record

these to the people of this State.

there was excellent trout fishing a
