NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Chinose Filth.
As will be seen by reference to another column, the Government did not like the very outspoken description of the state of No Health District which we published on zath ulto. over the signature of Gilahi. "Accordingly' Mr." BROWN was asked to re- port on the antler, and he, being a Govern ment survaist, naturally tried to throw dis credit upon the statements made in our article.
fact we do not think that our contemporary need fear that Sir HENRY BLAKE is trying to minimise matters. It was apparently at his instigation that the wholesale cleans ing of No. 5 Health District was under taken and he appears to hold strong views upon the filth of the Colony, but to have, unfortunately, made up his mind to vigorous action a trifle late in the day. It is a great pity that His Excellency did'not make a more in the matter of cleansing when the plague, first started this year. Then we should have been able to see if it had a good effect in keeping down the discase. As matters now stand the whole lesson of the cleansing, of this large area will be lost, for it was not taken in hand until the plague had almost run its course.

ing to the men would have been the work if the houses had not been disinfected. From my experience of cleaning I do not think that the amount of rubbish was more than could have been expected. No amount of fining or of routine inspection, however, assiduously conducted, can make Chinese houses as clean as they ought to be. Only a yearly compulsory cleansing such as that completed yesterday in No. 5 District is, in my opinion, of any real value in teaching the Chinese how to keep their bunks, cubicles, floors or houses, The Hon F. 1.

This morning the s.s. Hai less than seven large junks were spread out in was alongside Douglas Wharf and no side by side to Blake Pier. This is very annoying to the public launches, as the west side of Blake Pier is most frequently used, owing to the currents. It is also very hard on the coxwain of a launch, if he damages one of the junks he is sure to lose his certificate. Now I should like to know if Blake Pier belongs to the Douglas Steamship Company or not? If it does then that alters the case; if (as I am given to understand) it is a public pier, then I think something ought to be done to keep it clear of junks, if a launch cannot Jay alongside more than five minutes, then why should junks be allowed to block up the.
some steps will be taken to do away with this pier and obstruct public traffic? Hoping that
