There is room for the enforcement of san-
itary laws. This is the time of the year for
s general cleaning up. A generous distri-
button of lime may be an economical ex-
penditure by corporation and Individual
This is to be year Of more than common
influx of people from foreign shores where
cholera and other direful diseases prevail,
and cleanliness is the great preventive
Charles Town has wonderful immunity from
storm and pestilence by reason of adyanta-
yes of location. Let US not depend wholly
on this. Every individual should feel that
he is chairman Of a committee to keep things
clean and thus invite those who seek pure
air aud the things that contribute to health
or restoration thereto. Don't allow by your
negligence or indifference a cess pool or
filthy cutters to exist aud become the abid-
ing place and generator of disease and
death. To our city fathers We make a sug-
gestion or two: Cleanse the streets; en-
courage the liberal Use of lime; flood the
waterways at least three times a week
Don't let the community be found wanting
because it Is weighed in fish scales.

Fortunately, being at the rear of the hind

A Richmond gentleman while on a visit
to Washington went to the Supreme Court
chamber, and, says the State, was much
amused at the scene there. The case under
consideration was one in which a certain
banjo patent was involved. Chief Justice
Fuller held banjo in his hand and ap-
peared to be examining it very closely
After the Chief Justice had satisfied him
self he passed the instrument to his associ-
ates. The counsel in the case also held
banios in their hands and pages were run
ming hither and thither carrying banjos.-
The scene was exceeding comical and sug-
gested at once comic opera.
