Despite the trick the Mississippi river has
played upon the Secretary of the Navy In the
unexpected fall Of water which has made It
impossible for the naval training ship Wachu-
Sett to reach st. Louis, the New York Herald
thinks those who are laughing at the Secre-
tary's disappointment will, nevertheless, sym
pathize with the object he has in view, and
which he will carry out as soon as the river
rises. Congress has allowed him to enlist ava
apprentices to the number OF about seven hun
dred. from whom drafts are made into actua
service. This is intended for the improvement
OF the navy. At present the seamen of the navy
are almost all foreigners. Eight out OF ten do not
even speak English readily. The object OF e.
tablishing training ships Is to form force OF
American seameD, numerous enough In time to
man our navy and thoroughly instructed In all
parts of seamansh1p. Secretary Thompson has
made known all over the country the condi-
tons On which naval apprentices are received,
and in sending the Wachusett up the Mis- sissippi
his object is to give western boys an opportunity
to enlist in a regular and orderly manner,
instead OF running away to sea. There are now
on the Atlantic coast the Portsmouth, Saratoga
and Constitution; the Minnesota Is on the Hud-
son river; the Michigan Is ON the lakes and the
Wachusett will ascend the Mississippi as soon
as the river rises.

1t is evident that the New England rcpubli-
cans are by no means sanguine OF their ability
to ''redeem Name this fall. The Boston Ad-
rertiser rep.) says OF the situation: "Many of
the prominent republican leaders do not count
confidently upon electing their candidate for
governor by the people. At the best they ex-
pect to carry the legislature, and to choose Mr..
Bay1s In that way, while they entertain some
hope OF giving him popular majority. As for
null reversal of the result OF last September,
and restoration of the political situation to
what 1t was In and before 1871, there are very
few intelligent observers who do not abandon
the idea utterly"

Doubtless Epidemic.

The development OF the yellow fever yester-
day at Memphis in four or five new cases seems to
dispel the last hope that the previous cases were
sporadic and that the disease would not as
sumo an epidemic form. The manifestations at
Memphis appear to be Of the same character as
those at New orleans in 1878. After the first
few cases In the latter city last year there was
an interval OF week, and then the plague burst
forth In malignant epidemic form. The fact
that the disease manifests itself month
earlier than on last year Is another unpleasant
feature. Warned by the sad experiences Of 1878
doubtless a large proportion OF the people
OF Memphis will leave the city at once
and with this decrease of the material for the
fever to feed upon, It's ravages may be reduced
In proportion. The city OF Memphis had a pop
ulation Of about forty five thousand before the
fever broke out laSt.year. Within fortnight
of its appearance In epidemic form probably
twenty thousand of the Inhabitants had sue
ceeded In getting away from the city to safe
distance. while about five thousand were quar-
antined in the vicinity OF the city by the refusal
OF the people Of the surrounding country to al
low them access to their territory. OF the
twenty thousand people who remained In the
city fourteen thousand were negroes. Seven
teen thousand of this twenty thousand had the
fever, and about five thousand died Of 1t. 1t Is
estimated that had the fugitives remained
there would have been thirty-five thousand
cases instead OF seventeen thousand, and that
the number Of deaths would have been vastly
more than double, for the reason that the fatali-
ty was very much greater amongst the whites
than the blacks. Less than a thousand Of the
fourteen thousand negroes who remained in the
city, died, while more than four thousand of the
six thousand whites who staid, died. All expe-
rfence has shown that the best mode of keeping
the fever In check is to remove the material
upon which 1t works, and it would seem that
the money OF the benevolent could now be most
Judiciously applied In removing the bulk of the
people OF Memphis to country or mountain
