WHEREVER at the East there is an intel
ligent and progressive community, active
preparations are made for the possible in
vasion of this country by cholera. In Cal
iiornia we are taking no precautionary
steps as yet. The Sacramento plan is to
wait until the hot weather sets in, then to
debate the matter for a month, and lastly
to decide that it is too late to act effect
lively, and that the best thing to do is to
take the chances. This farce will prob
ably be repeated this year. We will in
spect a few houses buy a few barrels OF
something to cover up the stenches, flush
sewer or two with the open butt of a
single line of fire hose, and then discharge
the inspectors, swear at the Health Officer,
cease operations and go to prayers. The
rational method would be to begin prepara-
lions now to inspect all houses; compel
strict observance of the health ordinances
"sit down" upon local cranks and hard
shell landlords who assume to know more
about sanitary science than all the sani-
tarians in the world, and to do whatever
can be done in the way of cleaning up the
