yellow Fever ana Quarantine.
New York Herald


II In n pity the sessions of the American
Public Health Association should have ended
I'm nothing The published conclusions Of its
deliberations disappoint tho expectations OF
those who had hoped II would present some
practical proposition for the prevention OF
future scourges Of yellow fever. 1t would
have been better to suspend oil opinions
until n complete investigation had been made
rather than revive those which ample expert
ence has long since shown to be unnecessary
and restrictive
In reading the accounts OF the rise and pro-
press of tho fever 1t Is soon realized that
panic feelings still overshadOwed oil cool and
dispasaiouate reasoning, and that the spirit OF
the middle ages was predominant ~ s'ig-
pestipg remuiies TO prevent the introduction
of the scourge Here II ono of the conclus-
ions adopted by the association as the senti-
ment of that body
Second That quarantine. established with
such rigor and precision IA to produce abso-
lutte non-interconrse, will prevent the impor-
tation of specific causes OF yellow fever
The establishment Of such quarantine Mt
this port would rs n matter Of necessity, de-
stroy our West India trade. To declare that
no vessel from an infected port should enter
this harbor from the first OF May to the first
Of November would not be encouraging TO
the immense capital now engaged in that
trade Yet such were tho measures advo-
Gated by the principal speakers and received
with reclamation by tho association. ii the
South desires to pursue policy so suicidal
toward her ports we cannot assent 70 any
such restrictions. For years past commerce
from here with the West Indies has gone on
with restrictions SO slight as scarcely to In
terfere with the most active relations. while
for four morsths Of the year yellow fever Is
rarely absent from tho Quarantine Hospital.
This difference Of action does not arise
wholly from difference In situation during
that time. As experience has again and again
shown in past epidcmics, the conditions Tor
the spread OF the yellow fever fomites are as
favorable here as at the South. 1t Is not
strange that yellow fever was introduced in
New Orleans by the Emily Souder last May.
Were the same course adopted here as was
practised with her yellow, fever would reach
our docks nearly every day during the sea
son.
So far, then from studying the prevention
of the fcvef from the light OF experience and
tho phenomena of its natural history they
present us impotcnt conclusions, founded in
fear retrograde, not progressive.

The New York SIN, reviewing the various

favor. The first attempt ut Shakespeare

play was the appearance of the noted prize
fighter Jem Mace In the character Of The
Wrestler who wrestles with Orlando. The
house was crowded night after night. every
body going to see the hero of the prize-rtng.
A few months afterwards tho "Midsummer's
Might Dream" was inaugurated at rival

which drew the largest audiences, being the
appearance Of the noted clown "Humpty-

followed, with papicr- mache artificial angel,

"Henry Wiz and Julius Caesar" have been
mostly of the show or spectacular kind. The

THE MAN WHO LIVES.

WashingtOn's birthday, with all other ami
versarles and all moral lessons thereon, has come
to be regarded by the most of us as bore.
We have enough to do, we think, to meet the
hard times, and fight the fraud and corruption
about us, without sitting down once year to
consider the bearings of any historical epoch.
But this anniversary has something to do
with the fraud and darkness of the present
time, and the part which each OF us elects to
play in it. The man who lives in it, lived be-
yond his fellows, because he was more honest
and unsefsh than they. We have had gen.
erals who won greater victories, statesmen
who were more profound. leaders who. like
CLAY or Calhoun, attracted more by power
full personal magnetism. Waslington's virtues,
even at this late day, have rcpeant chill about
them. We crack our feeble Jokes about immacu-
late George, and are secretly convinced that
we should have found such n mass of merit
unbearable at near view. Yet we give HIM
place as the first American. and it Is probable
each succeeding generation will do the same.
William Welsh n just man and good,
who died in Philadelphia the other day, was
wont 10 say, "Nothing endures but character"
He verified his own maxim Men with twice
and the sole public record of them would be
an abstract of their will, that their fellow citi-
zens might know where such and such proper
ties would belong in future. But when this
man died the whole city stood at his grave as
a mourncr 1t was the simple abiding quality
of goodness that commanded its homage.
There is not a little village or farming dis
trct where THE TRIBUNE is read in which
this lesson is not preached yearly. The neigh
Dor whose life il remembered, when he is gone,
whose name continues n household word
long after his grave is green, is not the miserly
banker, whose heirs are ilinging about his
hoards, nor the sharp lawyer whose fame went
I'D to the higher courts Ii is the sober old
Truepeuny, the honest farmer or squire or
clergyman, whose integrity and stern sense of
Justice had made him referee in all the dis
putes of the county. We have known such a
reputation, belonging to a man who was poor
from his birth to his grave, shine for gencr
ations in quiet neiglborhood, a noble legacy
for his descendants, making all honesty and
fair dealing and high living easier to those
who came after him.
There is something therefore worth noting for
the BOYS and for their fathers in this birthday
which we keep this morning: and it is not the
fact of battles with the British, or American
Indepcndence-but the truth of how long and
how far Shines the good deed in a naughty
"vorldu

way.
THE "GREAT DEBATE.'

We NAV as well call the performance of
Wednesday in the House another "Great De-
"bate" Not that it was great in the sense
that any of the turbulent disputants made
elaborate speeches upon some topic OF National
interest and importance, which shall be treas
ured up as specimens of American elOquence,
or illustrations of clear and convincing state
ment and logical power. But it was great in
the sense that it ought to be remembered by
every thoughtful citizen. 1t Will be unfortu-
nate for the country if the circumstances
of il. and the lesson it conveys, are
allowed to be overlooked and forgotten
For this is the full flower of the Democratic
Renaissance. We have had nothing to com
rare with it since the bOisterOus times from
1854 to 1861, when the same Democratic
party was slowly lOosing its grasp upon the
Government. The pages of The Congressional
Record upon which Wednesdays debate ap-
pears. bring to mind the old files OF The GLOBE,
which record in broken lines and multitudes
of exclamation points, and with all the pecu-
liar features of the printed page which make
such debates vivid and striking to the eye,
the encounters between the Democratic states
men of that period and their Republican
opponents. There is no need to repeat now
and here the epthets exchanged, the coarfe
and brutal assaults, the filings and insnua-
tions and taunts, the bullying and bravado,
which ill the pages of that record. They are
shameful and disgraceful. The men who were
engaged in the dispute, or some of them, are,
no doubt, ashamed to-day, of their part in it.
But because it is all shameful and disgrace
full is no reason why it should be covered up
or passed lightly over The thing is to avoid
repetition Of them; to put the responsibility
for this riot in the House where it belongs,
and then say whether, upon the whole, we
