The totals of comparisons show a marked
diminution in the number of cases reported
for the latter period-a fact which, taken in
connection with the present comparative
cleanly condition of the town, goes far toward
verifying the claims of sanitary science. A
careful inspection of the town shows less
filth and fewer sources of infection than has
heretofore existed. This condition IS due
more, we think, to increased knowledge of
the people as to the means of preventing
disease and their willingness to co operate
with the Board of Health to this end than to
direct enforcement of the Health ordinance
This is evidenced by the fact that in the last
year there have been fewer complaints filed
and fewer notices served against the people
for maintenances of nuisances and filth of all
kinds.
Notwithstanding the Improvements noted
there remains room for lettering the sanitary
condition of the town. One great source of
danger to the health of the citizens exists in
the much talked-o pig'sty, which, from u
sanitary standpoint, is nuisance harboring
and breeding disease, producing germs by
the millions. We will not attempt to discuss
the economic side of the subject but in our
Judgment no amount of pecuniary gain can
compensate for the evils resulting from this
source.

John Chambers WAS present to say
few words on the passing of General
CoXey's army of the Commonweal. He
understood from the papers that in
other towns and cities along the route
the people took some action regarding
this scourge. He thought that Council
should do something TO protect the
people from this band of marauders.
Considerable discussion followed and
the Clerk read extracts from Washing
ton papers at the request of several
citizens.

ordered that Mayor and Council call a

TOWN AND VICINITY.
II is an Industry.

Some time ago the JOURNAL threw
doubt upon the genuineness of "the
petrified woman and was somewhat
called to account for it, especially as
doctors here and there had certified
to professional belief in her verify as
stone corpse. The New York World,
however, discovered few days ago
in Harlem a factory where petrified
humanity is turned out, preference
being given to the moulding and
building of women.

Army of the COmmOnweal.

This body is now expected to reach
here this Saturday afternoon. In
which event, we will probably have
them with us until Monday.
The idea of providing for these
people in any respect is Il mistaken
one. Nobody should contribute any
thing whatever to their maintenance.
CoXey is a worth over
half as much as the assessed value of
this town, and he should be made to
feed and lodge his mendicants.
1t is credibly reported, too, that the
army left Union;own Wednesday
with five days rations, which would
leave at most but one meal for the
general to provide for his men here.
When the army arrives it should
be conducted through town to some
point below and Gordon of police
placed on picket to keep the soldiers
i'll their camp and out of town.
There should be no speaking allowed
in town-nothiug, in short, to enter
tain our people with what is at best
scaramouch attempt to initiate some
of the scenes of the French Revolution.

Another Reason.

Considerable fault is found with the
JOURNAL for its announcement last
week concerning its desire nor to be
related to the liquor license business
through either recommendation or
bonds.
The JOURNAL had reasons for that
determination-good reasons, but
now one has since come to light.
If liquor merchants want newspaper
men to endorse them they should go to
Cumberland. where. under their own
law, all the advertising is to be done.
