ing their daily expenditures by lop-
ping. off buggy hire. It will save
them $25 day or such a matter.
Having ten visitors on duty with but
l89 yellow fever patients to look after,
according to their own report of Sum
day last, it seems as if this buggy-hire
business is little steep. AS the visi-
tors are philanthropic gentlemen who
ask no stipend and only receive from
the association enough to delray their
actual living expenses it might be we'll
to increase the number and lessen the
area of their districts. During the
fever of 1873 there was at one time
over 1900 yellow fever sufferers, and
Howard visitors had under super
vision upward of 300 in a single dis
trict They used no vehicles during
that siege, except in one or two in
stances That noble Howard, Butler
P. Anderson, had a large territory to
travel over and he used to ride about
in spring wagon, loaned to him
occasionally by one of his neighbors.
General Smith had several miles Of
territory where only scattering cases Of
fever prevailed and he rode, as was
then stated, in his own conveyance
and at his own personal expense. II
anyone else used buggies it is not
recalled at this time. Another feature
of the present outlay that appears to
loom up in rather grand proportions
is ten physicians at $40 each per day.
Would it not be possible to manage
with few less? The philanthropic
association and its unrewarded labors
is just now the talk of the town, and it
is in all kindness that the foregoing
suggestions have been made.

Sherman and Schurz on the
South.


Philadelphia Record.l
The utterances of Secretaries Sher.
man and Schurz in Ohio on the
Southern question should have the
effect of cooling the ardor of those
who subscribe to the doctrine that the
right medicine for the South is, after
putting strong man in the White
House, to again force that section
into leading strings. The gentlemen
named have given out that nothing
can be done in this direction apart
from the coercing influence of public
opinion as expressed through the
ballot box. This policy will hardly
be well received by the Stalwart
orators and journals that have been
calling long and loud for mode of
warfare calculated to compel the
rebellious Southerners to kneel sub
missively at the doors of congress.
Messrs. Sherman and Schurz are
shrewder than their unthinking and
impetuous followers. They we'll know
that the North will not give its appro-
val to any policy that proposes uncon-
stitutional and high-handed action on
the part of the general government
toward the South. The North will
rejoice over everything that contrib
utes to good order of the South and
the prosperity which is sure to accom-
pany good order, but it is a long way
from approving of extra constitutional
action.

Important Query.

The Howard Association is a very
close corporation, consisting of twenty
or twenty-five members, The press
are excluded from their general meet
ings, and at their executive meetings
not even their own members,
except their executive members, con-
sisting of four or five officers, are
allowed to be present. It does occur
to the public that a corporation dis
pensing public charities should be
open to the strictest scrutiny. In
their report of the 9th the Howards
say On September the 4th we find
that we owe bills as follows: "Physi-
clans, $685. drugs, $l257; supply
department, $3.50; transportation,
$l4 incidental expenses, S58. Total,
$4l77." In their general summary
the Howards say nothing of the
amount they pay themselves, 1t was
generally a well understood fact
last year that they paid their members
$40 per day, and it is currently rumor-
ed on the streets that this year they
are getting 81 per day with the prom
ise Of SO more if they get money from
their appeal to the public. Now the
public is a little solicitous to know
if they have paid themselves.

THE tide of immigration is again
setting toward this country with in
creasing force. The arrivals at New
York for every month this year have
exceeded those of the corresponding
month in 1873, and the total up to the
close of August foots up 76,SO9
against but 54,155 for the first eight
months of last year. The increase
comes mostly from Scotland, Ireland
Norway and Sweden, and a large pro.
portion of the newcomers are above
the average of immigrants.

this very desirable state of things
existed ard that the managers Of
the enterprise deserve the thsnks
and commentator Of all for their
signal success in this particular.
