LIABILITY OF LANDLORDS.

a singular action has been brought in
San Francisco. i tenant sues his landlord
for 100000 damages. He alleges that he
occupied the house on the representation
that it was fit for occupancy and in good
condition. But the sewers were defective
and the piping bad. As a result filth ac-
cumulated beneath the house, of which
the landlord had notice, but of which the
tenant was ignorant. The family of the
latter was made sick. Zymotic diseases
set in and malaria poison affected the
household. All had diphtheria, and two
children died. Inc plaintiff charges these
dire results to the negligence of the land
lord and the unsanitary condition of the
premises. 1t is certain that disease and
death often result from just such condi-
lions, but it is rare that we hear Of a case
at law in which it is proposed to make the
landlord smart for his neglect Assuming
the facts stated to be true, ii would appear
that the law should, and we believe it does,
afford the tenant remedy. What distinc-
ton can be drawn between the cases of the
landlord who leaves broken plank in
walk or floor to trap and injure the passer-
by,and the landlord who invites the tenant, to
his injury, to live in house the atmosphere
of which is poisoned by defective sewers?
The law does give a remedy in the first
case, and the same rule, it would seem,
should obtain in the latter. If the plain
tiff in the action referred to RECEIVERS, it
will have a powerful influence in stimu-
lating property owners who rent premises
to sanitary cleanliness of houses let.

SAYS the Oakland inns

Evidence accumuates In Northern California
that the necessity for the completion OF the
California and Oregon railway becomes greater
every day. Congress should study carefully the
question of its relation to that improvement.
The evidence was all accumulated, mar
shaled and concluded long ago. There is
not man in Northern California cogni-
Eant of the facts, and with intelligence
sufficient to go in out of the rain, who does
not know that the resolution moi to COM
plete the road was a severe blow to
the whole State, an immediate injury to
the trade of California, and that the reso-
luton was the inevitable result of the
demagogical assault OF the blatant fellows
who assume to be the peoples champions.
That much of influence they may be ad-
mitted to have possessed. OF course Con
gress should give serious attention to the
question. But if only the people of San
Francisco had taken harm by the diversion
of trade consequent upon the assault upon
the California and Oregon road, there
would be entertained no regrets that the
road was not built, since that people, most
deeply and profoundly interested, not only
failed to protest against the wrong, but by
inaction and timidity became parties to it..
1t is a very serious question indeed,
whether it is not too late to retrieve the
error of the recent past in this matter.

THE Tonquinese are numbering the
Christians again by the thousands.
Evidently the French, having successfully
got rid of the whimsical Chinese preten-
sion, must now whip the Tonquinese into
respect for the sacredness of human life.
France cannot afford to abandon what she
has gained. She must protect the inter
ests of her people in the Anamese empire,
and make her protectorate thing to be
respected and feared. We believe she
will do this, and with severity that will
crush out utterly the intolerant spirit of
heathenism that justifes the murder of one
who holds to other faith than that taught
by the native priests.

THE CASE eF MARSHALL,

1t certainly would have been becoming
to the State to have pensioned the late
James W. Marshall literally. The fact
that he was the discoverer of gold in Cali
fornia should have been sufficient, even in
its accidental character, to have kept the

GRANT State Monumental Association has
been formed at Sacramento which has I2l Di-
rectors and an Executive Committee of eleven
We wish success to the movement but the nu-
nervousness of the Directors is a bad omen.
San Francisco Alta
By no means. 1t is good omen. There
are 81 counties. To be peoples move
ment every county must have represent
atives, and these, we learn, were appor-
toned with some regard to population, but
mainly with a view to secure represent
alive men whom the people are willing to
entrust with their contributions. The
committee laboring at New York for a
national monument propose to name
twenty Commissioners in each State TO
aid it, and the number is not excessive.
The Directors and Executive Committee
chosen by the State Society have only the
simple but high and honorable duty of
receiving the peoples subscriptions, for
warding them to the President Of the State
Association-the Goyernor-and then of
deciding what form the monumental testi-
monial shall take, to invite proposals from
the art world for its construction, and to
award the contract That the Directors
chosen are competent to this task no one
will DENY.

DR.. Snow, Of Providence, r. l., has for
thirty years kept the statistics of births,
deaths and marriages in that city. He
finds that the number of people who
might have married in the last ten years
was 10 per cent. greater than during the
ten years preceding the war of the rebel
lion, while those who did marry numbered
only Il per cent. greater. So far as Prov
ldence Is concerned this only veriies the
general belief, and which is well grounded.
that the matrimonial inclination is de-
Ginning. 1t does not keep pace with the
growth Of population, and the cause is not
difficult to discover. Marriage is becom-
Ing more and more 4 matter of impossible
ity with the poor and those who are wage
winners, because cur methods of subsist-
ence are inconsistent with economical liv-
ing, As the New York Post sums up the
whole matter: The cost of maintaining
family in good style and of giving children
liberal education increases more rapidly
than the earnings Of the husband and
father. 4 man sees that il he marries, he
must abandon modes of life which have
become essential to his comfort, and he
fears that the more restricted plane of ex-
penditure would be as disagreeable to the
woman as to himself"
