BRAIN AND MUSCLE.

A mother man had suggested that
the blacks fight for their posi-
ton. This they had already done
from 1861 to 1865, and the men
who wore the gray knew to what
cost. But they had now laid aside
the sword, and the fight that now
remained was IA contest OF brain
against brain and muscle against
muscle.
The speaker was aware that the
meeting was not q political one, but
said he would express himself freely
"Let us build up our State. l an
for home rule. Our position is In

hood and protect our lives. We have

THE GARBAGE QUESTION
A II VIII BE Dealt With in the Health
Officers Report.

The forthcoming quarterly report OF
Health Officer Garrison will contain some
Interesting facts and figures regarding the
removal of the garbage from the houses OF
citizens The cost this year, under the new
system adopted by Council, will be 81, $50,
or S4O4 10 per month, as against $4,000
last year, or S914.l1 per month. The IN
creased cost this year seems TO have been
absorbed, not so much in the removal OF
large additional amount Of garbage, as
in the increased cost of gathering up
a load and removing II to the crematory.
This is shown by the figures given by Su-
perintendent Serig, of the crematory:
In MAY, 1889 l13 cart loads of garbage
were hauled, at a cost of SIS per load. In
Nav, 1880. 2l5 loads were hauled, at cost
of 81 = per load. In June, 1889, 23' LOADS
were hauled, al cost of SIG per load,
while in June, 1880, pa cart loads ana 80
wagon-loads. equal, counting one wagon
load as two cart loads, TO 800 cart loads al
a cost Of Sl.35 per load.
In other words, ii cost the city 80 cents 4
load in MAY, 1880, more than IN May, 1872
10 get load of garbage 10 the creInatory'
while in June. 1890, the difference was ~
cents over the corresponding month the year
before Had the cost per load Oeen the
same this year as last, 40 addtlonal Iodus
could have been hauled for the same money
as Nav, ana % additional loads IN June.
Another point DR. Garrison brings out, Is
that the 300 loads hauled in june tins year,
is an average of but ten per day, ana ne
