TEE SANITARY AGITATION AGAIN.
The promps and vigorous action Of the
City Trustees relative to the sanitary
reform is heartily applauaed by all good
citizens. a few temporizing landlords who
oppose the action will, it is bslisved, resist.
The general expression is that they must be
taught that they do not hold letters patent
TO poison the air of this city. The poor man
and the rich alike have the inaleniable right
to breathe an uncontaminRted atmosphere.
The neglectful nonresident and other land.
lords who have suffered rank nuisanees to
exist on their premises must be dealt with
without any mercy. Tdere is room for but
one thing IN this matter, and that is right
action. The citizen living on lot one is en-
titled to immediate protection at the hands
of the city from the poisonous vapors that
arise from lot two, no matter who owns or
occupies it. If the Law is unequal
to this task, but two things remain for the
men who keep their premises clean and value
the lives of wife and children-smigrstion
from the dangerous localities, or submission
to the poisoning process. There are instances
oF this latter being avoided by action that
iaW-abiding citizens cannot even contemplate
but it is unwise to close the eyes to tbs fact
that it has bsen openly debated on thostreets
There must be given, by no daliauce, the
shadow of excuse for acts tina taxpayers may
have cause TO regret. One thing Of the ut
most Importance to be attended to is TO see
that the Health Officer has legal advice SIS to
the proper forms to be observed to make every
step he takes legal. The city counsel should
sec to il that no errors are made by the
Health Officer. A single blunder, slight
infornslity, the doubtful verbiage Of no.
tice, the emission Of o word or figure, the
merest ambiguity Of expression. ia csrtsin to
prove TIE huge upon which legal resistance
will turn. Every step must be taken
carefully, with elaboration, and, 30
far as human foresgh5 can provide,
it'll due Observance of every legal formRlity.
Whether the cholera comes or not IS in!na-
terial, This city, the people have deter.
mined, must be placed in the best sanitary
condition possible TO it, aud that as speedily
as can be- and the efforts being made to that
end must neither be hindered by doubters nor
checked by technicsliSieE. Every city ia the
Union, OF any particular Importance, has
moved in this direction, and a5 10 time in
the century have the people been so thor
oughly convinced of their duty with regard
to town sanitation and the benefits arising

known as preventible diseases.
THE TURN WEREN'T o akland Times,
in it's report of the exercises at the meeting
of the Pacific Turn.Bszirk, says: THE
Sacramento Turn srein followed the San
Francisco Nae nnerchor, with well-trained
voices. Their song was entitled 0ssian,
and was perfectly rendered. OF course with
their fewer numbers their singing lacked the
msssiveness OF che two preceding societies,
but to the ears Of the Times reporter tbs
parts were better sustained and the harmony
was moro perfectly developed, than with any
Of the other contestants. The piece was a
difficult one, and in its production developed
thorough training and good taste. The bass
voices were especially hne and easily handled.
In response to an encore they sang A Stu
dents Night Song without de.racting par
ticle from the reputation they had established
with the audience" The Times also mentions
the address of John We'll, OF Sacramento,
President Of the Pacific Turn-Bezirk. in
very complimentary terms. Many Of the
visitors from Sacramento returned home yss-
terday, but the eclive members Of the Sacrs-
mento Turn-Verein will return this evening.
They will BIS met at the depot by the men,
bers who remained OF home and the Hussar
band, and escorted to their hall.
