No cOnyaleseent city can carry such
burdens.
The decline and stagnation of our
city is not due tO2political, but to
material causes. The remedy and
arrest of this decline can not be ex-
pected from political agencies, but
material measures. Those to whom
the value of property and the wages
of industry are of more consequence
than the prejudices or profits of
parties must see that some change in
the business pursuits of our people
and in the commercial policy of our
merchants, is indispensable to the
support of the present population.
We would, therefore, respectfully
suggest for the consideration of such
citizens the following schedule of
measures:
/. The separation of questions OF
abstract national politics as far as
possible from the consideration OF
local and municipal interest. The
election to municipal Office of men Of
sense and character, interested in
the prosperity and business of this
city.
2. To organize manufacturing and
maritime emplOyments for the peo-
pie by the cooperative contributions
of property holders to workshops and
factories, and by encouraging ship
ping interest to be conducted by &C.
olimated officers and seamen of our
own people.
g.. The adoption of sanitary sys-
tenn to preserve the health of the city
without the total destruction of its
trade. To place all business upon
the basis of acclimated employees,
so as to give an all-year trade, and
close our port and suspend our insti-
tutlons for as short a period as may
be possible.
A. To press our railroad to the Pa
cifc; procure change in our treaty
relations with the tropical States and
colonies, and demand postal subven-
tiOns for making our commerce
with those countries practicable and
profitable.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1878-10-02

and colonies of this continent, as. to.
increase our trade Herewith, and
should never cease to demand from
Congress the establishment of steam
postal service with all these coun-
tries, SO that the whole intercourse
between them and the valley of the
Mississippi and the upper West,
shall be conducted through our port.
Unless this commercial inter-
course, with the establishment also of
manufacturing industry, can be eff
fected, our city may reduce its pop
ulation to a number which may be
subsisted upon its winter factorage
OF commerce, but we can not see
how it can regain the rate of pro-
gress which had been attained be-
fore the completion of the railway
system across the Mississippi valley.
This has placed st. Louis within per-
haps forty-eight hours travel, or six
days freight time of New York when
formerly it must have been six days
travel, or thirty days freight time
by way of the river and coast route.
The telegraph has also substituted
instantaneous intelligence for the
mail time of former days. When
we, therefore, look the facts square
in the face, it will be found that GER
tain positive and physical disadvan-
tages wait upon the future of New
Orleans, but that she possesses quail
tiles that will enable her to obviate
some of these difficulties, and that
by a readaptation of her resources
to her situation she may regain, per-
haps she may surpass, the rate OF
her former progress.

THE PALLAoY oF SPECIFICS.

DR.. Kibbee, of Cincinnati, came to
New Orlea ms with an inYention--a
cot bedstead which he was assured
in his own mind would be useful if
not infallible adjunct in the treat
ment of yellow fever, About the
same time appeared here DR.. Thomas
Morley, of Lon don, with medicine
of his own preparation which he be-
lieved to be an infallible specific for
yellow fever. He established place
on Camp street for the sale of his
remedy, and for few weeks enjoyed
the confidence of certain people who
think our local physicians do not
quite rise to the occasion in yell ow
fever times. B..
Both these heroic men have fallen
victims to their own credulity in
their own inventions. DR.. Kibbee
died a week or so ago at the Hotel
Dieu, on one of his own cots, etc.
DR.. Morley died on Sunday. The
last named victim refused to see a
physician, but relied on his own me-
dicine to the last.
The best physicians of New Or
leans have said that no medicine
known to them has any effect on
yellow fever. They have tried
everything without positive success.
They have decided that the disease
known as yellow fever is, like small
pOx, produced by a specific poison,
for which no remedy has been found
When person is attacked, strug-
gle for life OF death takes place be-
tween the constitution and the
disease. If the poor patient is not
over freighted with facilitating or
injurious nOstrums, his system may
throw off the disease and he may re-
cover. But great care is necessary
lest the treatment he receives be not
turned into an ally of the yellow
fever, and thus cut off his chance of
recovery.
1t is impossible to doubt the sim
certify Of the two physicians who
came here to illustrate their theories.
DR.. Kibbee believed in his water cot,
land who shall say that it may not
be a useful auxiliary, DR.. Morley
believed his medicine was an abso-
lutte specific. and refused the advice
of any local physician. Their mel
anchOly fate may, however, serve as
a warning to those who believe that
there is such a thing in nature as a
specific remedy for any disease.

LOOK TIE PAST IN TEE FACE.

AVN AID Ao4 IN 4hh EAOn.
New Orleans is a city subject to
the recurrence of one or more varie-
ties of febrile disease identical with
yellow fever either in its symptoms
OF effects. Of these complicated
types there have been already 5000
cases, with mortality of 270O or
thirty per cent. There has been an
immense exodus from the city which
has scattered the seeds of the disease
throughout the whole climate liable
to it. We may then anticipate the
same panic next year as has quaran-
tined our passengers and packages
this year. We may apprehend the
withdrawal of capital and enterprise,
or the cessation of that constant flow
of cash, which alone maintains the
progress of any city.
We accept this state of facts, yet
we derive from them a certain en-
couragement: 1. The number of cases
and the rate of mortality in New
Orleans is small in proportion to the
whole population. 2. The number
of persons acclimated to tropical
disease is greater than in any other
city of the South. 3, The prepare
ton, both in hospitals and in private
families, for the reception and treat
ment of yellow fever, is more
prompt and attended with less panic
than elsewhere. 4. The mechanical
work Of building and repairing
houses, with the transfer and deliv-
cry of freights has not been suspend
cd, nor has the domestic services of
families been disturbed. u ga jeA
We need not chloroform our ideas
with the hope that this tropical en-
demic will not recur. So long as
mail transit may be made from Ha-
Vana to Detroit in hundred hours !;
so long as the railroads receive the
material Of infection in cunning or
unconscious passenger; SO long will
this disease be disseminated through
out the land, to take hold wherever
the atmospheric conditions are ripe
for its agencies. To suppose all the
cities and villages Of a county exist
ing in a state of non-intercOurse
with each other9 or with other coun-
tries. abroad, is to suppose a state of
things in which no Inducements can
be presented to capital or industry
to inbabit communities subject to
such destructive interruptions.
While, therefore, New orleans
stands as the coast guard, against
the Introduction of tropical disease,
she is better prepared to Withstand
the disadvantages Of such inter-
course than any et5er city Of the
South, She aid, therefore, SO or
ganize her srnISary system as to.
close her port as little as possible to
the commerce in tropical goods, so
that while protecting the public and
the common health as far as possible,
still preserve an intercourse with
foreign countries almost indispensa-
BE to the existence. of her popuIa-
ton. With this New Orleans should.
expand her commerce into Mexico
and to the Pacific by railroad, She
shoald impOrtune the government to
% modify its tyeasieswith the States

any such prejudice may be borne
with philosophy by those whose
accumulation of capital, or command

them perfectly independent of the
