princes who now threaten to chastise the
insolence of the United States in having
dared to express sympathy for the poor
white seris and black slaves of Cuba.
We do not anticipate anything important
to this country will grow out of Don Car
los proposal for truce. There is neither
magnanimity nor wisdom in Spanish
counsels, nor has there been anything like
either for more than three hundred years.
The princes, grandees and priests have
ridden rough shod over the poor, ignorant
peasantry. They have denied them the
advantages of free schools, and held them
in submission by means of the sword, the
dungeon and the inQuisition. 1t will be
blessed chance for this poor, oppressed
people if the storm Of wrath now raging
between the two Bourbon claimants of the
throne can be turned into truce for any
purpose whatever. We doubt this being
done, however, on account of want Of
enlightened statesmauship.
New Orleans Republican., 1875-11-19

open at all seasons. The estimate of the ac-
tual cost imposed upon city by an attack
ofepidemic disease should cause the people
of New Orleans to reflect upon the cost OF
even false reports of epidemics every sea-
son. We are aware that our rivals for
trade or travel assert or leave to be in
ferred that there is always prevailing at
New Orleans during the summer some
terrible malady which is certain death to
all who visit the city at such sea-
son, and that it is even unsafe to
order cask of whisky or a hogshead
of hams from this greatly slandered city.
These facts should induce our authorities
of police and health to execute the most
stringent measures for the prevention or
extinction of any epidemic disease. 1t
should also induce the taxpayers to sus-
tain both authorities in these measures.
Cost what they may, they will be found
cheap if successful. 1t is very probable
that quarar tine may mislead the people
and authorities. Relying upon this from
tier defense, there may be a relaxation
of diligence and sanitary discipline at the
centre To prepare a city for the possible
invasion Of epidemic becomes the most
certain mode to diminish its danger and
consequent cost.
We might add the cost OF our political
epidemics, which periodically terminate
all business relations between the oppo-
site ranks and render all financial tran
sactions more or less uncertain of con-
summation. This with the possibilities
of stray ball, which a stranger may in
tercept on his way to make collection or
an investment, tends to diminish our CON-
merce and turn it to other cities, where
the casualties of street fight never fig
ure in the columns of mortality.
Sanitary care, and the maintenance of
public order, are then, in one sense, ele-
ments of commercial value, and any city
which does not cultivate both, is liable to
an appreciable loss of money from that
cause. We do not choose to impair the
effect Of these comments by citing any
special examples of their correctness, but
commend the subject to our merchants,
property holders and others, as worthy of
sedate reflection.
New Orleans Republican., 1875-11-19
Recepti0n of Nlinister Foster.


Hon. Mr. Foster had reason to feel COM
plimented by the appearance of the au-
dience before him at the Chamber of Com
merce last evening. Almost every branch
of trade was represented by distinguished
citizens of New Orleans, and their atten-
tion to his address was unwearied.
Minister Fosters stay in Mexico has been
less than two years, but his powers OF OBJ
servation and devotion to the interests of
both the country he 80 worthily represents
and that to which he was accredited have
given him store of information, from
which he drew literally last night. No one
who has communicated with the merchants
of New Orleans has been SO able to en-
tighten them on tho resources of Mexico,
and certainly no mure interesting document
has ever been presented to them than the
address published in these columns this
morning. Nothing has been unobserved by
him, nothing is left underlined.
The REPUBLICAN reasonably takes credit
for having advocated the policy and inter
course commended by Minister Foster, and
the merchants of New Orleans may Justly
be as proud of our minister to Mexico as
his fellow citizens of Indiana. He regards
their interests as those of the v hole coun-
try, and has spared no effort to further
them.
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Foster will pre-
sent his views to the higher authorities OF
the federal government, and 80 impress
them with their truth that measures will be
taken that will materially advan CO the com.
mercial interests and intercourse of the
United States and Mexico, and particularly
the prosperity of New Orleans.
New Orleans Republican., 1875-11-19

Since the law officers have been compelled
in various States to take notice Of lottery,
rattle and grab bag entertainments, new
amusements have been introduced in re-
igious circles. An exchange says: Mash
vile has had smiling contest, a. an ad-
junct to Presbyterian church fair. There
were three competitors, young men, and 3
judge to decide which of them smiled most
sweetly. Three trials were had, the con
testants standing on platform in full view
of the assembly, with strong light thrown
on their faces. Louis Tallichst was the
winner of the prize, which was tho privi-
lege of kissing any one Of the girls attend
ing the candy counter, whore the prettiest
daughters Of the church were engaged"
Let those laugh who win, and let the win
ners kiss the candy girls. If there 10 one
thing more demorAlizing than gambling, it
\ the making Of girl's Hss merchant
able article. Teach girl that 1t 10 night to
kiss strange msn for tho bensat Of the
church, and ahe will soon learn to kss for
her own benefit. Judas kissed, and % ID
the Plymouth pastor, but kisses from home
do not advance piety.
New Orleans Republican., 1875-11-19
MONEY VALUE OF HEALTH REPUTATION

When We contrast the listless and
shrunken character of our summer trade
with its vigorous vitality at the present,
we may appreciate the value of steady
all the year trade which gives constant
employment to whole people. When we
know that the representation of good or
bad health affects the access of strangers
to the stores, hotels and workshops of a
city, the money value of ''a good name in
man or woman" or in city, becomes
more and more conspicuous.
We have long appreciated the value of
precautions which keep down the disease
and death rate of a city, and have favored
every measure of police or sanitary pre-
vention and protection which has been
proposed. These, however, have been
general impressions. DR.. Lee, of Phila-
delphia, has treated the subject in man
ner 50 practical as to startle all those who
have not estimated the force of this great
drawback to commerce. In paper. lately
read by that gentleman at the Sanitary
Convention in Baltimore, under the head
of "The Cost of a Great Epidemic to a
Great City," he gives the following esti-
mates. The epidemic treated of is the
smallpox, and the city Of Philadelphia is
the sufferer from its prevalence:
The diminution of travel upon passenper
railways was eight per cent, ofsincoming
travel on railroads six per cent and of out.
going freight four per cent. The estimated
loss TO railroad companies, $l9 sos, ,l4O, be-
ing the revenue for six months, was four
and q half per cent. or 1878 so. of
which one-tenth, or $87,7 Is, is assigned
TO the city directly. The loss to the hotel.
keepers ssJ ere for 6l,3l2 dsys, at % a day, was
6l,Sl2 customers, at IS head, was 33O6, SEQ.
The loss from sickness, death and dist
biiity is estimated at more than sixteen
million dollaru. The actual and Incl.
dental loss would amount to some twenty
million dollars.
We apply this general reasoning to our
own city. As the REPUBLICANS has re.
peatedly explained. New Orleans, formerlv
without competition, lost less than an.
other city by disease or the reputation of
disease, because as her trade could 20 no.
where else, what she did not get at one
season came in redoubled volume at an.
other. She is now exposed to the compe.
tition OF other cities which offer trade
