An English lord, who recently visited this
country, and explored the east side OF New
York. declared that never In his travels through
the world had he seen such an abomnahly
filthy and foul-smcing quarter Of any city.

much money was made away with every
year. under the prctcxt of cleaning these
streets. and when he learned that We sup
ported powerful Street Cleaning Depart
mcnt as well as powerful Board OF
Health. at enormous expense, he was dumb
founded and declared his surprise that the half
million people on the east side would submit to
be thus victimizcd and destroyed. Well might
the English lord be astonishcd ut what he
had seen. smclt. and heard. Another con-
ference on street cleaning was held yesterday
in the Office OF the Mayor, who. we are
glad to see, takes some interest in the sub
jcct. But the functionarcs who were present
did not seem TO have any proper realization Of
the abomination OF dcsolation. If they had re-
allied it. they would have displayed more en-
crgy. and would not have separated until they
had taken efficient stops to stay the dcvouring
