The Lick Trust.

The San Francisco Chronicle says:
Mr.. Lick's trustees have at length taken
a decisive step with q view to relieve
themselves from the peculiarly embar'
RAISING position in which they have
been placed by this deed of revocation.
The original deed conveyed to them, as
trustees, large amount of property in
which they had no personal interest,
and established certain very delicate re-
lations between them and the benetcia-
ries under the trust, which were capa.
BILE of being viewed in widely different
lights from different standpoints.
When called upon to vey to Mr..
Lick the property decided to them for
certain specific public uses, they nat
urally felt some doubt as to the course
which they ought to pursue. To COM
ply with Mr.. Lick's demand might have
seemed like tame surrender OF the
rights of the public, if any rights had
in fact been vested, and weak betrayal
of public interests, while on the other
hand their motives were liable to gross
misconstruction if they refused such
compliance, Placed in this embarrass.
ing position they seem to have adopted
the most iudicious course open to them
in instituting a suit the object OF which
is to relieve them OF all responsibility
in the premises, and to refer the whole
matter to the decision of the courts.
The complaint of the Trustees, filed on
Saturday in the nineteenth district
court, asks for leave to resign their
trusts, and for the appointment OF new
trustees to be their successors. The
complaint is in the nature OF an old
fashioned bill in equity, and the court
in disposing of the matter will have to
pass upon the question whether the
original deed vas valid and irreyOcable.

possible that it may be, we shall have

AN upheaval of mud has occurred IN

A STEAMSHIP arrived in New York the
other day with cargo of ], $50 sacks OF
salt and 100 barrels of arsenic. The
bulk of the salt was stored III the lower
hold, and the remainder was placed be-
tween decks with the arsenic. During
the voyage the contents of several bar
rels of the poison was scattered over
the salt. The cargo was discharged,
delivered to the consignees, and by
them forwarded without delay to coun'
try customers who had bought to arrive
The cargo had not entirely disappeared,
however, before q chemist was called IN
to ascertain if the scattered poison had
penetrated the bags holding the salt,
and il was found that it had to such an
extent as to endanger the lives OF the
consumers of the salt. Instantly the
telegraph was used, happily with entire
success, to secure the return OF the
dangerous commodities to the city.
The interesting question now IS, who
shall stand the loss? The material can
be used only in tanning or some like
chemical process, and, OF course, It's
value is greatly reduced.

WHILE there may not be cause for
great alarm at the appearance of the yel-
low fever in the South, it should serve to
remind our health authorities of the me-
cessity for exercising all possible vigi-
lance in seeing that everything is done
10 secure the best sanitary condition of
this city. So early visit from this great
scourge warns us to be fully prepared.
1t will have long run should it take up
its fatal march northward, only to be
checked by the frosts of next autumn.
Science has done much towards en-
abling physicians to successfully treat
this disease, but it has taught nothing
SO clearly as that the cities which have
taken proper sanitary precautions never
suffer much from the epidemic. Too
great care In this direction can not be
exercised, and we feel sure that our
Board Of Health will have the hearty CO.
operation of citizens in all measures
they may adopt looking to cleanliness OF
the city and the health of it's people.
The work of thoroughly overhauling
things should commence at once, and be
kept up during the whole spring and
