Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Aug. 18, 1883 A Female young or old, who does a man's work ought to get a man's pay. (Boston Globe) True; and if you will look at the new fall styles you will perceive that many women who don't do a man's work are getting a pretty good share of man's pay. (Courier Journal) E. LOTTES, of St. Mary, has taken out a merchant's license and will sell his remaining stock of liquors by the gallon as cheap as it can be got anywhere in St. Mary. Our Board of Health published an ordinance this week which declares the keeping in pens of hogs or pigs within the city limits a public nuisance and prohibits the same. It also recommends the use of copperas as a disinfectant and even offers gratis a sufficient quantity of that valuable material to such of our town people as are to poor to buy it. It is not our business to decide whether the ordinance is strictly according to law as far as the part relating to the keeping of hogs in pens is concerned. It cannot be denied that some hog pens ar nuisances and ought to be done away with, whereas again others cannot in justice be declared nuisances and we leave it to the jurists to decide the legality of the ordinance forbidding them. But we cannot help remarking that this order is as conspicuous for what it omits as it is for its contents. It ought to have made it a misdemeanor for any one to allow garbage, slops and other filth to accumulate in the back yards and alleys, or to allow privies to run over for years in succession without an attempt at cleaning. In large cities the police officers are ex-officio inspectors of back yards and other premises that are suspected of containing accumulations of filth, and are bound to report any such nuisance at head quarters. We have a personal dislike to a prying and spying police, but when the public health is in question, all considerations must give way to a great necessity. We, therefore, recommend that the City Marshal be given privilege to enter back yards from time to time for the purpose of ascertaining whether any accumulation of noxious matter is allowed to remain there. The liberal offer of the free use of the copperas made by the city to those who are unable to buy it, leaves nobody a shadow of an excuse for disobeying the ordinance. FARMERS, HERE IS YOUR CHANCE!
