COMMUNICATION FROM THE HEALTH
OFFICER

DIR. Mengcr has addressed the following COM
munication to the mayor:
Hon. J. II. French, Mayor:
DEAR SIR:-Allow me to call especial attcn
ton TO several places in our city deserving i'm
mediate attention Of the proper authorities.
ISL. Inc main watering place near the old
End. The wooden pavement on North Flores
street.
Bird. The public square across the San Pedro,
4th. The places for deposit Of refuse matter
on the west side of the city.
9Th. The old Odet house
All OF these places are i'm dilapdated, and
some IN u dangerous condition. The place near
the mil bridge, once Il very convenient and
pleasant resort for the watering fraternity, i
now converted into steep and dangerous al
ley. Large rocks lay carclcssly around, and it
Is but good luck that no vehicles and human,
limb have been broken yet. The de-
posts of mud on the plaza, near the hospital
should he levecd and freed of weeds and filth.
There live as refined and luw-abiding citizens
III the iirst ward, across the San Pedro, as in
any other part of the city, and it is not more
imam their duty in asking the authorities t.
keep the streets and public squares in good
condition. n petition, signed by many prOmi-
nent citizens, wi soon again be presented to
the council to have that square cleaned ana
leveled.
In the western suburbs, along the streets
leading from the international depot to the
flrst mile creek. the refuse matter from the
city Is scattered about ina very careless man
ner. Large crowds of Mcyic;lns, men, women
ana children are nearly daily to be seen search
ing for diamonds? and scattering the filthy de
posts about the brush There should be but
one main depository for the filth, and this
should be nurnc,!, and the MeXi,ans should not
DC allowed to scatter the filth about. The
western suburbs are settling up fast, and these
filthy places will become source Of sickness
ana dangerous diseases il left to accumllu a.
before. Very Respectfully,
The evening light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1881-1883, 1882-11-10
"My Partner.'

james II. Randall says of "My Partner" in
the Augusta COnStitutiOnaist of October II !:
1T does not cover crime with society erminc
or gild vice with clcyrnt deception There is
none of the Pink Domino suygeStveneSs or
clever dOublc-cntendre. 1t is free, honest and
emphatic, and the moral is Us robust and
wholesome as the plot is open. The
whole play is ilIumincd. strengthened and
rounded by the character of Joe Saun-
dsrs. the hero of the miners camp. Bart
ley Campbell certainly Outdid Bret
lI;trte when he put Joe. saunders into drama,
and George W. Thompson is in full sympathy
with the role. In his hands the part vail that
talent can secure or hcrOiSm enhance. MIR
Thompson is everything that that the public
can ask-a first-class actor in every respect.
Mr.. Hedley's Henry Clay Britt. candidate, poll
toan, magistrate and mashcr, is Il part which
was the better filled al each successive step of
the play. The characters sustained by the
ladies were quite acceptable, and Mr.. LcnnoN's
Chnee was very popular during the evening.
In the hands of this company, the play is strong
and effective. is rich and robust in moral and
cOnSummatiOn."

Jones' election. The Galveston News is

Ireland will reap the reward he justly deserves
for his fight on Gov Davis.

that would have flashed with the speed of the
lightning over the state-Col. Jones would
have found himself leading a forlorn little
band of impracticable politicians instead of a
host of people, with prospect of victory.
Col. Jones failed to say word to his follow
ers to stand by Davis; how does this contrast
with the course pursued by Gov. Davis, who
stood firmly and gallantly to his word, and
gave Col. Jones his strength over the state. If
Jones polls heavy vote in Texas it is because
the republicans were faithful to Davis. The
defeat Of Davis shows that Jones was not faith
full to the republicans.
1t It's long lane that has no turning.

The convention of the National Green.
back Labor party, at St. Louis, March Sth,
was not largely attended. Two platform.
abolition of banks of issue; that the United
States bonds be declared due at once and
paid at the convenience of the Government;
that homesteads be not sold for taxes; that
. Bureau of Statistics be established al
Washington; that the President and Vice.
President be elected directly by the people,
and that Foreign Ministers when not elected
by the people be chosen by both houses OF
Congress. A blow was given to monopolies
and demand was made that every citizen
over % years of age be admitted to the full
rights of citizenship. The second
platform covered the points given
above and recommended that a CORE.
spondence be commenced with the
Harper faction of the party, looking
to the calling of joint convention to be
held in November. Sympathy was expressed
for the people of Ireland in the struggle
against their oppressors, and stronger
whack was given to monopolies. The sub.
ject of harmonizing the two factions was
treated at length and the attainment of that
end strongly urged. The majority report of
the committee on platform and organization
was adopted; but it was resolved ''that if
the objects desired to be gained rs expressed
therein are not consummated by the 3Oth
of June, 1882, it be the special instruction
OF this assemblage to the National Execu-

THE anti Chinese demonstration in
San Francisco, March 4, exceeded all ex-
pectations in size and effectiveness, and the
most striking feature was the lack of all dis
order and violence. Four great meetings
were held, one in Platt's Hall, and three
others in the open air in the main business
streets. The chief citizens of the city at
tended the meetings and delivered speeches
The tone Of the majority of the addresses
was temperate, and in great contrast to the
rawlings Of the sand-lot orators two years
ago. The streets were filled with people.
The day was general holiday throughout
the State, and similar demonstrations were
held elsewhere.
