MEXICAN PROSPECTS.

All the indications point to an approach
ing era of prosperity for Mexico. 1t is
true that there are still rumors in the air
of long-meditated attempts to bring about
some kind of thieving raid upon the SIS
ter republic, in the interest of adventurers
and the turbulent elements, but we think
these attempts will be extinguished by
the manifest trend of enterprise and
investment towards Mexican territory.
The prospect is that the locomotive will
solve problem of civilization which legis-
lation has failed to settle. Railroads are
the real civilizers of the present century,
and they are doing for Mexico what no
leader or statesman has hitherto been able
to effect When the railroad enterprises
now in embryo are completed, and the
Mexican States are bound together by
bands of steel, revolutions will for the first
time become impossible, and the homo
geneity of the republic viii be assured.
In that region there will then be
almost unbounded opportunities for
the exhibition of American enterprise and
shrewdness. The country is rich, fertile,
abourding in resources, thinly populated,
capable of sustaining five times Its present
inhabitants. Let its political security be
once established, and it must rapidly
spring into a condition of prosperity and

NEGLECT OF SANITARY PRECAUTIONS

During the past year the country has
been prosperous, the crops large and find.
ing ready markets, the furnaces and looms
and shops of all kinds active we have
been free from war and from great epidem-
les, and although a hundred thousand
deaths have occurred among us which
might have been prevented, and two hun
dred thousand of our people have been
constantly sick, and suffering from causes
which we have every reason to believe
might have been avoided, yet this great
loss and sorrow have been so distributed
amorg our fifty millions OF people that it
has for the most part been lost sight of and
has not attracted attention except in few
scattered instances. When the times are
thus prosperous, the streets of our cities
noisy with traffic, their depots and docks
and levees crowded with freight, taxing to
their utmost the capacity of their cars and
ships, it is not easy to induce people to
take thought of the evils to come, nor are
they disposed to listen with satisfaction to
those who trouble their content by urging
on them drainage or sewerage, or other
costly works needed to secure dry, clean
soil, pure water, and air free from danger
ous or offensive contamination. They say
to the sanitarian who is warning them
"Hush wait little; don't make fuss
you will injure the reputation of the city !;
you will drive away commerce we are no
worse than our neighbors, nor than we
have been before we will attend to these
matters by-and-by, for you are probably
right in your advice but wait until after
the election; we must not propose addi-
tional taxation nor or we shall be defeat
ed" etc. 1t was so of old time: "Yet q
little sleep-a little slumber, a little fold
ing of the hands to sleep" so shall thy
poverty come as one that traveleth, and
thy want as an armed man and to the
great city which felt that it should sit as
lady forever, there came in one day widow
hood and the loss of children. II The
Sanitarian.

TaB WISDOM OF NEW ORLEANS.

a citizen of Sacramento now journeying
in the South. sent US the other day copy
of the New Orleans CarnivaI Gazette,
containing illustrations and descriptions of
the famous Mardi Gras festival which is
held every year in that city. These fes-
tivals are gorgeous almost beyond concep-
tion, and they require a very considerable
amount of both money and time for their
preparation. They include long street pro-
cessions representing sometimes whole
mythology and embracing classical and bur-
lesque subjects in profusion. Every incident
is most artistically prepared and presented,
and the general effect is marvellous.
These festivities are however excellent
investments for New Orleans, for they
bring scores of thousands of visitors to
the city every year. and they cause such
revival of business as repays the out
lay hundredfOld. Other cities have
taken leaves from the note book of New
Orleans, and have sought to render them.
selves centers OF attraction by lavish
expenditures. And there can be no doubt
that these things are extremely profitable
Cities, like individuals, can accelerate
their prosperity by liberal and iudicious
advertising Whatever expenditures make
a city more agreeable to travellers,
whatever increases their comforts, their
convenience, their amusement, is sure to
pay. No policy is so fatal as community
parsimeny. The city that is af.aid to
spend money 60 make itself attractive VIII
not be visited, and will not command the
trade of its environment New Orleans is
wise in maintaining her Mardi Gras fes-
tival, and no matter what she spends upon
it the money is well invested. There are
plenty of other cities which would do well
to study her policy in this regard. and
which would materially advance their own
interests by adopting it.

CONSUL CRUmP's BIUNDER.

Judging from the evidence at hand we
should say that Mr.. Crump, the British
Viee.Consul at Philadelphia has been
made the victim of one of those hoaxes
which are regarded as fair by certain ex-
tremely "smart business men. 1t seems
that he recently furnished to his govern.
ment 2 report in which he stated that 7O0,-
600 hogs had died of disease lately in
the West that the carcasses of these dead
hogs had been used in the manufacture of
oleomargarine and other products; that
trichiniasis was prevalent throughout the
hogs of the Western States; and that gem
orally speaking the situation was very
bad one. The presumption is that the
Consul was induced to believe these stories
himself, by certain cunning spectators,
and that the whole affair was deliberately
arranged by them for the purpose of affect
ing the market. The report of Consul
Crump found its way into the English press,
and of course produced very decided
sensation. The market was very strongly
affected for several days, and it is quite
probable that the persons who had ar
ranged the plot took advantage of the
opportunities thus afforded them. The
Produce Exchanges of Chicago, Cincinnati,
and other places, have investigated the
situation, and their reports show that the
Consul must have either made deliberate
misrepresentation, or have been eyre
giously duped. The latter is the more
probable explanation of the case, but it is
evident that no explanation can undo the
evil that has been done by the false re-
port No doubt heavy and perhaps ruin

dealers through the fluctuations in the

THE PRESIDENT AND TIE Golden CLUB.

We observe statement to the effect
that President Garfield has recently denied
his connection with the Golden Club, and
that he has written a letter to one of its
members stating that he does not believe
in its principles. We are reluctant to be-
lieve this story, for the reason that we
know General Garfield to have been men,
ber of the Golden Club, in the annual lists
of which organization his name has ap-
peared for several years, and for the further
reason that no man is ever accepted as
member of that organization unless he is
known to hold free trade doctrines. The
fact that General Garfield in several of his
speeches in Congress has manifested strong
dissent from the protective theory certainly
iustiies this belief, and until we see some
definite evidence that he has changed his
views since his election we must decline to
accept the recent report as true. 1t is pos
sihle also that the rumor concerning his
"stalwart" intentions is no more matter
of fact than that regarding his connection
with the Golden Club, and we hope that
this is really the case.

fourishing growth rivaling that of our
most progressive Western States. 1t is
thus far almost virgin territory, so far as
commerce and enterprise are concerned, and
while its mineral resources are great beyond
all possibility of exaggeration, It's agri-
cultural capabilities are not less splendid.
Throughout this territory American capi-
tai and energy will be welcomed, and it will
not be necessary to blacken the record of
the United States with causeless and in
iquitous war upon a harmless and feeble

vancement. No doubt there are fascinations
for certain class of political adventurers in
the thought of adding SO large field for
jobbery to the Government of the United
States. But in this instance the powerful
and benefcent agencies of commerce are
in the ascendant, and we do not believe
that they will consent to risk the now
certain victories of the future in order to
crafty a lust of conquest which has no
motive but the greediest and most unprin-
cipled selfshness. Mexico has the same
right to her independence that we have to
ours, and that consideration ought to
suffice whenever conquest is suggested.
We may conquer her goodwill, her trade,
her industries, without employing single
bayonet, and this is the enterprise to which
the most ambitious and far-sighted minds
of the country are now turning with more
and more confidence as time passes.
