1Iemphis and the Fever.

Memphis continues to supply regularly,
day after day, small record of yellow
fever cases, as to which may be OBJ
from one-third to one-half the num-
ber of those attacked are colored
persons. No doubt the comparative i'm
munity of persons of African race, as that
fact is ordinarily observed, is in this case
to be considered with reference to the cir
cumstance that there are now in the city
very few whites and n very much larger
number of negroes yet the number of COL
ored persons down with the fever now is
noteworthy. Memphis has, however,
ceased to be a point Of great sympathetic
interest, and its regular death roll is a
comparatively neglected piece of news.
People seem to fancy that as a fair oppor-
tunity has been given for all to leave the
place those who remain are, if they
take the disease, the victims OF o
willul refusal to avail themselves OF
the safety actually offered. 1t is plain
enough, too, that this refusal is calculat ed
with deliberate purpose to prey upon the
natlOnal cnarlty Dy persons VINO peileVe
they are themselves in no danger of the dis
ease. These facts are very clearly set forth
in the news from Memphis which we give
to-day. 1t is now, We suppose, pretty safe
to assume that Memphis will be thoroughly
cleaned up this winter, and it is even pos
sible that thorough system of drainage
may be initiated. Since it is known pre-
cisely how such disease can live over q
winter in that mild climate, there is ground
to believe that the people will no longer
permit the value of few old rags OF cloth
ing to be weighed in the balance against the
value Of the property Of whole city; for
if the old clothes OF Memphis are not
cleaned out with fire this year it is in
fallibly certain that Memphis will have the
fever again next year. Here is a labor as to
which the National Board of Health might
properly take some action. 1t should
secure the systematic destruction by fire of

The comparison OF the tour issues named
in each journal shows that the HaRALD in
these four twenty page numbers contained
an aggregate of 80 columns more of adver-
tisements than the London Times and 5,7O6
more separate advertisements
Considering the much greater density OF
population in the British Islands, which
contain within an area less than three times
that Of the State OF New York, and less
than half that of Texas, population but
quarter less than that of the whole United
States; and considering further that London
is still the commercial and financial centre
of the hole world, the comparison which
we have made between the London Times
and the HERALD surprises and gratifes us.
London has about twice the population Of
New York and Brooklyn, but there is no
such difference between the advertising
columns of the two great journals.
With the revival OF industry and general
business, and particularly of the commerce
of this port, we feel confident that the
HERALD's advertising columns will soon
equal, and before very long time even ex-
coed, those OF the London Times. 1t is GER
tainly a remarkable fact that, with business
and industry long depressed and but
slowly reviving; with markets Of all kinds
still dull; /; with our foreign commerce,
which is one of the necessary elements of
New York $ greatness, almost extinguished,
and with confidence and enterprise only
just awakening from a long lethargy, the
comparison we have made Is SO favorable
to ourselves
New York is still young and growing
city. It's population, with the new start of
the country in industry and commerce,
will once more begin rapidly to increase.
The revival OF demand for real estate
shows that building has not entirely kept
pace with the increase of inhabitants, and
now that the city debt has reached it's limits
and The city government is well in hand
and conducted on a reasonably economical
scale, while the railroad companies are
rapidly providing better terminal facilities
and in other ways encouraging commerce,
the business Of the country will more and
more centre here. 1t will not be very many
years before New York will take the place

the worlds exchanges. Whenever the coun.

A Country Opinion of Tammany.

We print elsewhere some interesting OBJ
servations on the attitude of the country
democrats toward Tammany Hall, which
we find in the Albany correspondence OF
the Sun. 1t is a country democrat who
speaks, and he presents what we have no
doubt is the real opinion of many demo-
Gratis in the interior Of the Tammany organ
ization.
All that he says is perhaps right enough;
but he omits some important facts. Coun-
try democrats, when they recall the old and
corrupt days of Tammany when it was the
instrument by which the Tweed Ring mis-
ruled and robbed the city, ought not to
forget that in those days Mr.. Tilden
was acting with Tammany and Tweed.
We do not, OF course, mean that MI. Tildcn
was corruptionist, as Tweed was but he
was the political ally of Tweed and the
other Ring men he co-operated with them
in politics and if it was a hard battle to
beat down the Ring it was undoubtedly
made harder by the fact that Tweed was
able to count among his allies men like
Mr.. Tilden. 1t was not until the power Of
the Ring was broken that Mr.. Tilden took
public part against it, and performed
those services in its exposure which made
him Governor of the State.
Again, it is useful TO remember that the
battle which Mr. Tilden's friends are now
making against Tammany is not for it's de-
struction but for it's control. To break up
Tammany Hall as political organization is
one thing. and though Tammany is very
different in character now from the days
when Mr.. Tilden co-operated with its cor
rupt managers, still, if the declared pur-
pose of Mr.. Tildens friends were to de-
stroy it as political power and organiza-
tion, they might reckon on much help
and countenance which they now lack. But
their object is not to break up Tammany,
but to secure the control OF it for them
selves, and that is quite different matter.
Mr.. Tilden's principal friends were con-
tented members and rulers of Tammany
Hall until in the mutations Of politics they
lost control and were flung out. 1t Was a
good enough horse to carry them, and their
object is to get into the same saddle again.
The HERALD on many occasions urged them
to destroy Tammany, and if they had been
willing to do that they would have had
strong support But, as we have said,
their object is not to destroy it, but to con-
troll it and use it for their own ends.

THE AMERICAN ARCTIC EXPEDITION.

From the San Francisco correspondence OF the Bal.
timore (sid) Sun. June 22.l
The Pacific Polar expedition that has just left San
Francisco has peculiar advantages over all preceding
adventures from the Atlantic side. II is the great
Asac current that. flowing say 800 miles broad and
over u milo deep, from Equatorial seas. sends q
branch through Bchring Strait. q continuous cur
rent of heated water toward tho North Pole. Re-
turning the waters pass round the Polar Sea and.
robbed of heat. exit through various channels
into the Atlantic Ocean. This current Is also
continuous. IL il obvious that IL is against
the course og nature TO seek the North Pole BY
this back doorway. Tho American Arctic expedition
did not steer hence northward for Behring strait.
IL seered due west, undor for Japan till 10
gets into tho great Asiatic Equatorial current that
will speed its voyage to the Pole Submitting to its
guidance the ship will reach the same destination
90 near to the Pole as ice permits. II there DO
open sea probability favors the theory that tho
power and tho temperature of 30 gigantic an im-
pingement will keep its channel clear. In such
the Yacht keeping still in the current will fnd,
whales do, its equal way to the Atlantic. Easy said
easy done. Should ice break connection, Captain
DE Long IL we'll provided with every modern means
of traversing the ice till connection Is again inter.
rupted by open sea, which Is OF the great dis
covcres desired. An open sea around tho theoretio
pole would be- in fact. solution OF the whole ques-
tion IL could no longer be doubted that vessels can
be put On the Arctic sea for thorough exploration

Who Is tablet

Justus Schwab, the great purveyor of
communistic beer and encourager of all
kinds OF eloquence that makes men thirsty,
has convinced the courts OF justice that if
one law forbids the sale Of beer tor Sunday
and until twelve on Sunday night, and
another forbids the sale between one and
five A. NJ. Oh Monday, and no law torbids
that sale in the first hour of Monday, thus
skipped by the statutes a publican does
not commit an offence by selling beer in
that happy hour. Yet for selling beer in
that hour OF sweet release from the reign OF
sumptuary law Schwab was caught up by
the policeman and hauled more or less by
the hair to the neighboring station house.
He sued the policeman for damages, and,
as his arrest was certainly without au-
thority of law, he obtained verdict. Now,
the question arises who is to pay this three
hundred and fifty-eight dollars? The Police
Department asks authority of theBoard Of
Apportionment to pay it out OF ''unex-
pended balances" of public money, and the
Board of ofApportionment does not Gle rly see
that tho city is liable for acts done by police
men contrary to law. To determine that
the policeman must pay it out of his own
pocket would make precedent that might
in the future be oppressive to well inten-
toned officers, and would, in fact, be de-
structive of discipline. sine. a policeman
before obeying any orders might require
the Commissioners to show him that the act
directed to be done was not contrary to
law. On the other hand, our whole legal
and official system supposes that the priv
ilege OF any citizen to sue and recover
damages tor any invasions of his rights is
one of the most effective restraints upon
officials toward the prevention of abuses of
authority. But what will become of this
restraint if damages SO recovered are to be
liquidated at the expense of the taxpayers

Special Police Duties.

tits very well known that the able-bodied
police force OF New York is not any more
than sufficient. all told, to perorm proper
patrol duty and to efficiently protect life
and property in the city. Indeed, many
persons familiar with police matters insist
that the force is altogether too small; that
the beats are, as rule, too much extended,
and that to insure to the citizens that safety
they have a right to expect we need at least
fourth more than our present number of
patrolmen. Under these circumstances the
detailing of able-bodied policemen to light
special duties which can be as well per-
formed by men disqualified from hard work
becomes inexpedient and reprehensible, be-
cause for every man thus detailed the peo-
pie are deprived of just SO much protec-
tion, for which they pay liberally in their
annual taxation.
The mischief is that the detailing of men,
bers OF the force to special duties has here
toiore been made a matter Of political in
fluence and favoritism. 1t is of course much
more pleasant to lounge about dumping
gronnd, railroad depot or steamboat
than to be sent on patrol duty night and
day. There is less work about it, less risk
and sometimes more profit For these rea-
sons the members Of the force who have
organizations, Aldermen, legislators or infu-
entail ward politicians at their backs, gen.
orally manage to settle down on these
special feather beds, and to enjoy them
selves there, no matter how we'll qualified
they may be to perform more active duties
Some special details are necessary and
useful. The Steamboat Squad is very
valuable body, atfording protection to
strangers and guarding them against a set
OF sharks whose operations were at one
time very extensive Since the establish
ment OF this squad the stealing of baggage
and the swindling of visitors to the city
have almost ceased. But the duties are
such as can be performed by superannuated
members Of the force, or by those not fit
for active patrol work, just as well as by
lusty, able-bodi men. II the Police Com
missioners would assign to the squad men
incapactated from active service, instead
of filling it by political favoritism, it would
retain all its usefulness without drain
ing the precincts and leaving the city
short of patrolmen. The same may be said
Of all special details. Instead Of being
given away to any strong, able-bodied loaf
ers in police uniform who may happen to
command enough influence to secure for
them these "soit things" they ought to be
assigned to those infirm members of the
force who are incapacitated by i'll health or
injuries from active patrol work, and who
are almost useless in precinct for ordinary
duty.

The Herald and the London Times.

-
The London Times is one of the greatest
advertising sheets in the world. perhaps the
greatest. Like the Herald, it issues daily
supplements and extra sheets, both jour
nails being compelled to this very costly ex-
pedient in order to gain room for the adver-
tisements without emitting the news of the
day.
1t has occurred to us to compare the ad-
vertising patronage of the London Times
and that of the HERALD T; and for that pur-
pose we have taken one OF the busiest
months of the English year-April and
going over the files of the two jour
nails, we have set down the number
of pages issued by each daily, the number
OF columns of advertisements and the num-
ber of separate advertisements in each issue.
The result is given in the table below. The
London Times publishes no Sunday edition.
1t appears that Tor the whole month the Eng
lish journals advertisements are slightly
more numerous than those of the HERALD;
but the difference is small-only as 81, 996 to
40, 666.
The London Times issued during April
nine quintuple, fifteen quadruple and two
triple sheets. The HERALD during the same
month issued four quintuple, seven quad
ruple and nineteen triple sheets. The fol-
lowing table gives the details of the month";
