Health Ofiicer Keeney Very Decide,
Upon That Point.

Health Officer Keeney Very Decided
Upon That Point.
The more Health Officer Keeney looks into
tie matter of the precs utlons against cholera
The more he appears to appreciate the i'm
portance of thoroughness.
II is simple thing 10 contract disease and
afterward lay IL to ill-kept thoroughfares.
Why not be beforehand and offer no foot
hold for disease?
A general inspection is conceded to be in
sufficient.
At present the omnipotent law OF custom
has made the public a kind of assistant
Health Board.
Ii any one becomes sensible Of nuisance
near his or her residence. he or she Is en-
titled TO complain TO the board and have
the nuisance abated.
The board is bound TO order the nuisance
dissipated at the expense of tie party or
parties causing it, But in such a case the
nuisance has been brought to the board s
notice by its assistauts-ihe general public
Thus among the white races-the Aryan
peoples-the system works fairly well.
But a startling difference obtains among
the MongOlians.
sance having been filed by ChinamaD2
The TACT seems to be that atmosphere
supercharged with miasmatic bacteria or
Impoverished by CAT bonic acid gas is actually
rellshed by the average Monaghan.
How else can we account for his incorrigible
procivity for crowding or. as II has been
called. berding with his kind? How else
account for the fact that he Is continually
being found sleeping In company with q
score Of bis fellows 10 an ordinary small
room, other space and aecomm odation being
abundantly available?
Why cannot the Chinese community be
made to segregate Its waresp Why must 1t
lump its fresh and unfresh meat, its con-
fectionery, fish, opium. vegetables, gar.
ments and everything else under one roof,
where proper and differentiating methods
OF disposing OF the refuse are impossible?
The conclusion seems to DO that the
Chinese loves certain heterogeneity OF
odor. He likes his smells thick and mixed
and all the time.

A joint committee from the Brewers Pro-

we ask an investigation of 1t. This
order will have no effect upon the white
people living in Chinatown, of whom there
,, are several thousand. Unfortunately they
are class OF people with but little regard
for law or decency. Not all of them, mind
you. but great many.
Now, if you will visit the premises occu-
pied by the white people in Chinatown and
make comparison between their condi-
tion as whole with the same number OF
houses occupied by Chinese, / think you
will agree with me when l say that the
white residents up here need quite as much
attention as do the Chinese"
And King was right.
THE CALL reporter, accompanied by De-
tective Cox, started on tour of the alleys
in Chinatown occupied by white women
ard Chinese alike.
Everywhere the Chinese gave free en-
trance TO their premises and seemed de-
lighted at the chance TO show how they
were cleaning No.
One or two plague-spots were found vet
untouched. and In one or two of the
cramped-up rooms the odors were sicken-

pressed their Willingness to obey it.

the reverse was found.
Doors were barred against the officer and
party. and It was only when arrest was
threatened that they were unlocked.
Nearly every white place visited was
found In more or less filthy condition.
AT Brook lyn alley, in the rear OF a house
occupied by four or five women OF as many
Municipalities. an unusually filthy yard was
found.
The woman who was the landlady watched

The sketch was handed her. when the
woman tore 1t into shreds and cursed officer,

Another sketch was made, while the
woman stood on the steps and fairly made
the air blue with her profanity.
In the rear Of place in Miles court an
other filthy place was found

day to make a Thorough oyerhauliag of that

DR.. Keeney states that while he does not
appreheDd any visitation from the cholera
be is not going 10 give that epidemic a
chance to gain foothold here.
He has ordered house to house inspec-
ton and will request the assistance of the
Superintendent of Stree in clearing out
alleys, sewers and other places where filth
may be accumulated.
He intends to request the Supervisors to
grant him assistance in the way of ~ sddi-
t0nal deputies. At present he has only six
deputies to perform all the duties deyolving
upon the Health Office.
Or. keeney states that there is no need for
any one TO fear the cholera in this city.
In the first place the strong winds and
frequent f0gs will not give the cholera the
least BIZ of show.
According to DR.. Keeney cholera bac-
terra begins to make itself known from 9
to SO hours after it has found suitable per-
son to locate on.
This fact alone, In view OF the quarantine
laws enforced on the Atlantic seaboard, will
prevent IL from gaining any serious foot
hold in this country.

There is still hitch In the preparations
for Joint debate on the tariff question be-
tween White and Estee. The former has
been acting in such peculiar manner that
even his friends are beginning to believe
that he Is not anxious for the contest. At
first he declined to agree 10 con fine the ar
gument TO the one question, saying that he
desired to cover all the issues at stake in the
campaign. To this Estee demurred, and
quite an extended correspondence ensued.
To end it, White telegraphed Saturday that
he would meet Estee on the tariff alone.
This seemed to settle it, but now another
complication has arisen.
1t Is understood that White declines 10
take the stump until October, giving as his
reason that his business Is such that he can
not get away before that time. Here Is
where the whole trouble is grounded Chair
man Meyers OF the Republican County Com
mittee is positive that the debate should
take place in September
This" said lie, yesterday, is campaign

all that, tie campaign in October will be at

Our sewers are held up to ridicule and
