Dispatches from New Orleans report
that the health authorities there are of
opinion that the epidemic has not yet
reached its climax, and that, consequently,
it will go on gaining force for yet some
days to come. In former bad years, as was
shown in the HEnALD yesterday, epidemics
have begun to lose force from about the 22d
year they ever had at New Orleans the high
est number of deaths. That it should be
later in o year when the changes Of
the seasons are somewhat advanced from
their usual date is an anomaly due,
doubtless, to the recent occurrence Of ex-
tremely unfavorable weather. From the
moment when this accidental cause ceases
to act the number Of deaths will drop very
suddenly. But the event that is, perhaps,
OF more immediate interest in New Orleans
than even the hoped for end Of the epidemic
Is the successful treatment Of bad case by
cold water spray-the cure by that method
of man said to be moribund Many
physicians at New Orleans, Grenada and
Memphis seem to have been of opinion this
year that large number of cases of the
fever they saw we're not typical cases
of yellow fever. but rather virulent cases of
typhus or even palludal fever Of severe
forms. The cure by tho cold spray or
douche WILL. perhaps, rather tend to con-
firm these opinions than TO convince the
old practitioners Of that part OF the world
that yellow fever is amenable to this treat
ment

Oae for the Police.

There il one line in which the city police
have always remarkable success. If a
''masked burglary" is committed anywhere
in the suburbs they never fail to arrest the
whole party of the robbers within very
few days. There is apparently no doubt
that they now have the party--or a good
portion of it--that committed the recent
robbery at Fairview, in New Jersey, and
that these fellows will shortly be handed
over to the Jersey authorities. Every clear
success of the police Is worthy its special
credit and commentator, but 1t is subject
not altogether clear on the surface how it is
that the police are 30 peculiarly successful

Everybody who has been fortunate enough
to notice the operation Of street cleaning has
wondered why dirt is swept into piles and
then left to be scattered again by every wagon
which passes. If the work of cleaning we're
managed by private enterprise the merest
numskull would know enough to have
the carts follow close upon the brooms,
and SO avoid having to do the same
twice, or even oftener. But cart is driven
by only one voter, while the proportion of
sweepers-- are also voters-to carts is
as six or more to one. This may be- a capt.
tai thing for the dominant party in city
politics, but it is not the purpose for which
seven hundred thousand dollars were ap-
propriated. The money is taken from the
citizens pockets to Glenn the streets and
keep them clean, to Danish nuisances and
to ward off disease and pestilence not to
keep under pay the largest possible num-
Der Of political strikers and repeaters.

no Metropolitan Kegatt. Yestsr-

OAys
One of the prettiest spectacles ever seen
on New York waters was the Metropolitan
regatta yesterday afternoon on the North
River, opposite 1920 street. Seven races,
most of them we'll contested, were rowed
without foul or accident, and to the enjoy
ment of thousands who looked on from dock
and Palisade top, while every sort of craft,
from the frail shell to the great double
decker Mortified and numerous barges
black wi tn people, chased the various racers
with keen eagerness. Phillips, of the Til
tons, of Newark, captured the senior SOULS.
A slight, wiry-looking four Of the Carmans
rowed down four other crews, one after
another, Argonauta making good second,
and in the hardest contest of the day the
famous Carman four had to succumb to the
sturdy team from Saugerties. Earle, Of the
Nereid, looked for a long time like o winner
of the Junior singles, but the muscular
Childs, of the Nautilus. wore him out and
SO became a senior sculler. Carman won
the six-oared gig race from the little Daunt-
less men after beautiful struggle, fought
every inch of the way amid great cheering.
Columbia was beaten in the Fights by the
Resolutes. of Washington Heights, but it
was not Columbia's best crew. Superin-
tendent Walling worked with ceaseless en-
ergy with his many police patrol boats to
keep the course clear, and succeeded, while
the City Fathers went into the spirit of the
sport with o fire and enthusiasm worthy of
freshmen. Altogether the regatta was de-
cided success, being entirely free from the
mishaps Of last year on the Kills, and the
course turned out in many ways good one
and fit for contest of almost any proper
tons

in one class of cases while many that CON-
stantly arise in the city remain permanent
puzzles to them. Perhaps it is that the
country is altogether worked" in the
burglary line by the prentice hand of in
expert fellows who are easily caught, and
the city has the honor to be robbed by the
men OF keener wit whom it is scarcely pos
sible to trace in their flight. However 1t
may be, it seems an odd fact.

ton to those which relate to the commerce

and steadily growing excess Of our exports
over our imports. The net result is that
the excess OF exports of domestic merchan-

June 80 of each year is as follows:--
$'1eS eo!

1875. 2S7, 7so, o64
This shows that we have within the last
three years discharged nearly four hundred
million dollars Of foreign Indebtedness.
There are solid grounds for expecting that
year. The abundance of our recent crops
is without parallel, and deficient harvest
in Europe insures o good market. 1t is q
most gratifying fact that besides agricul-
tural produce our exports of several kinds
of manufactured goods are steadily and
rapidly increasing year by year. Our ex-
ports of agricultural implements have been
trebled; of iron, steel and manufactures
of these metals have doubled; and of cotton
manufactures have nearly trebled in the
last ten years. England is beginning to get
alarmed lest we should take away her most
valuable markets. It is certain that we
shall soon drive her quite out of our own
for many Of her staple articles, and we
ought, within the next ten years, to dis
place her from the markets of Mexico, the
West Indies and all South America. We
only need sound currency, more shipping
and liberal commercial policy to enable
us to resume the march, which was inter-
rupted by the civil war, toward our des-
tined position Of supremacy in the COM
merce of the world.
