Explanation of His Motion.

To the MINING JOURNAL.
After reading "Ant-Toxin's' letter
In the last issue of your paper | think
proper to explain my position on the
"Pig-Pen" question and statement,
as brought before the Council, will
make what | write better understood
A short time ago the Board of Health
came before Council and stated that
the hog-pens are a nuisance showing
in a scientific manner that the filth
from them contained the most deadly
poison; that the stencil from them.
disagreeable as it is to many people,
amounted to very little when com
pared to the deadly germs which per-
meate the filth
BY some means there was brought
up for considera ton two pig-pen or
dinances-one, an ordinance to abol
lsh the pig-pen entirely; the other
giving the Board of Health power,
conditionally, to abolish them.
There exists already AL ordinance
giving the Board OF Health this con-
dtional power.
Accepting the report of the Board of
Health as being made in good faith, |
favored then and do now sweeping
ordinance, aud at the last meeting |
had the sweeping ordinance brought
out from its hiding place and did all
could for its passage. But when. as
believed, there was no hope for its
passage, made the motion 80 table"
it. In this | admit erred. did net
go far enough. [ should have forced
each member to put himself on record
in matter so important.
AS to the conditional ordinance-I
am opposed to it for the reason that it
would be of no more USE than the old
ordinance.
| have no wish to T. fleet upon mem
bers of the Council. They are good
men, with honest convictions, for
which their fellow citizens should re-
spect them. They are in every way
worthy Of the trust placed in their
keeping.
If "Anti-Toxin" had any action of
my own in view when he wrote his
epistle, it occurs to me he could have
done the town more service by trying
to convert those who do not favor the
abolition of this nuisance.
From observation | think great
majority of the people are opposed to
II sweeping or,iinance-merchants,
miners. aud | have heard it hinted-
physicians
So that he has lots of missionary
work to do, there being great mum,
ber who believe they are not sick, and
that they do not need "Anti Toxin

Coal to Foreign Ports.


The Baltimore Ne,os notes Indications
of growing shipments of coal to
foreign countries:
A little boom in the coal trade has develop
ed this month and the Locust Point coal piers
present scenes of animation. For several
days past as fast as one vessel completed load
ing another was ready to take her berth The
shipments to Southern, Gulf of Mexico, West
India and United States of Columbia ports
have been heavy and the outlook for the
future is good. So far, l6 coal-laden vessels
have sailed with cargoes ranging from 700 to
1900 tons each, while number of others are
now loading. Further evidence of the boom
is the chartering of the bark Guy C. Goss at
New York to come to this port to load coal
for San francisco and the recent sailing of
the big, ful-rigged clipper-ship Big Bonanza
from Capetown, South Africa, for this port
to load coal for the same port The trans
formed steamship Persian Monarch, which
is now the largest sailing ship atioat, will also
come here in Il few days to load an immense
cargo of coal for San Francisco.
All this is cheering, but when one
thinks of the influence OF the walking
delegate, the power of the master
workman and the irresistible impetus
of 'sympathy'' on a rampage. he can
not tell whether trade is worth having,
or life worth living, or not.
