The utter responsibility of some of
our citizens is frequently cropping up.
They have no idea of doing for them
selves, no sense of responsibility. This
was illustrated yesterday when a house
holder was demonstrated with for hav-
ing an uncleanly yard and the sugges .
ton made that she should have it clean
ed up. Why should l be bothered !"
she said. Let the Board of Health
clean it up. What is the Board of
Health for any way?" If people of this
kind We're fined, or else had their places
cleaned and were charged a good round
sum for the cleaning, they would soon
understand their responsibility. We
need the paternal government idea
knocked on the head, and the republic
an notion of heaven helps them that
help themselves driven in to replace it.

just commenced. The real work of
cleansing will not be in full swing till
this evening. The inspectors are very
bitter in their comments upon the
property holders, and suggest that a
list of those holding property in the
district should be published. There is
no doubt that the property owners
stand disgraced before the community,
and the Board of Health deserves some
measure of reprobation. 1t is not as if
the property owners and the Board had
rot been warned. The Star has pub
lished scores of articles upon the bad
sanitary condition, but not move was
made till disease was upon us.

A matter which may effect a large
section of the world is the decrease in
the forests of Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan. The present supply of pine
forests is being so cut that it is in

RESPONSIBILITY.

The responsibility of owners of prop
erty in the matter of sanitation can
not be too Strongly emphasized. 1t is
a well known fact that tenement prop
erty of poor class is a good invest
ment. Houses which people of good
habits and careful lives occupy are not
nearly as good property from the rent
paying standpoint, as tumble down
property which is hardly fit for rat
to live in. There are people drawing
incomes from the shack property in
this town, who are living in luxury
either here or elsewhere whose fami-
lies would shudder if they saw the
miserable shanties from which their
wealth is, in part, wrung.
The Star touches upon this subject in
no spirit of captiousness. There may
appear to be palliative circumstances,
but the owners of the property, when
they come to give an account of their
stewardship before the last memorable
Judge, will find no leniency extended
towards them. The fault is clear and
glazing. Many a man, like King
James, when he acquired money by
questionable means used to put his
nose to it and say mon olet," it does
not SMELL salves his conscience by
some similar jugglery, as for instance
giving his wealth to churches, to mis-
sions or to charitable institutions. But
the salve is of the earth, earthly. It is
apt to melt before the light of reason
and strong argument. 1t vanishes as
puff of putrid fat before the blaze of
truth.
These lines are written in no didactic
spirit, nor are they pointed at any in
dividual or individuals. They are
leveled at a system which has existed
since civilization began. 1t is only a
time like this that brings such a thing
prominently to the surface. But it is
this which arouses the Indignation in
the mass, against what it knows is
wrong. The wrong is probably as deep
elsewhere as it is here, but it is,
as reported by the volunteer Health In
spectors, unquestionably bad here.
1t is of very little use to abuse Chi
nese, Japanese and Hawaiians for the
Z nun VI their Wien llAG
houses offered to them, at eXorbitent
rents considering the lack of value in
the buildings, are rotten and vermin
filed That the classes under review
are not clearly in their house habits,
however clearly they may be in their
persons, is ncontrovertible. But on
the other hand the people who rent the
house or tenement property know per-
fectly what they are doing when they
let the premises.
Upon the owners of the property
rather than upon the tenants should
the responsibility be thrown. 1t may
be perfectly true that the tenants are
uncleanly, that there are fostering
heaps of rubbish in their yards and
maggots and slime in their cesspools,
but the true responsibility rests upon
the owners. If the owner insists upon
cleanliness, there will be an average
measure of cleanliness. If cleanliness
is not insisted upon with such class
of tenants there will be filth. Let us
be just. The Asiatic, though clearly in
his person, far above the average Eu-
ropean or American of low class, is
ignorant of sanitation. If his landlordE
allow him to live in his aboriginal Attn
it is hard to blame him alone. III

TRUSTEES DISSATISFIED.
VauliIol Of III, B. B. Knight Personal Estate
Regarded as Tco kieh

The trustees OF the estate of the late
b. h. Knight are not at all pleased at
the valuation that has been placed up
on the personal property of the estate
this year by the Providence tax assess
orS the amount being placed at $4,000, :
600, which is probably the largest single
tax ever assessed i'm this city.
The fact that the total city valua-
tion has been increased by about &c.
100000 is undoubtedly due To the Knight
estate. The valuation OF the personal
property has been increased eight times
or 700 per cent. Ii was last year $500 600
and this year ii is $4,000, 900. "a truly re-
markable gain in value. The trustees
complain of Ii as unjust. The trustees
state that they did not make any sworn
statement TO the assessors i'm regard to
the valuation. and consequently the
latter were at liberty TO sci their own
value. If that value is too high Il is
poss bic that the trustees may not have
any redress. and will have to pay the
tax.
IL is probable that the trustees will
consult as to what course. IL any
should be pursued. and there is possi-
bility that there may be some legal
controversy over the matter.

cCpts from the wOman's board exceed
those OF the previous year by $19, 9,4532S.
