CONGRESSMAN Barnes Resolution.


Congressman Barnes, of this state, has
offered resolution in the House that ought
to meet with favorable consideration. 1t
provides for rewarding any one who Will
discover the cause of yellow fever, or any
remedy that will prevent or cure 1t, or
which will materially help to rob the terri
BILE disease of its terrors.
The percentage of deaths in yellow fever
is not nearly as great as in some other dis
eases, but its infectious character, and the
certainty that when it assumes an epidemic
form few will escape it where the epidemic
exists, make it one of the most dreaded OF
all diseases. Its appearance IN any locality
caZses a panic The people leave their
homes, and almost all kinds of business
Pcome 10 a standstill.
The government should spare no effort to
get rid of the scourge, or to find means 10
treat it successfully. The resolution OF
Congressman Barnes is a step in the right
direction, and if it is adopted whoever wins
the reward which 1t provides will be on the
high road to fame and fortune.
A year or SO ago the government sent DIR.
Sternberg to Rio Janeiro TO investigate DR..
Freire's nnoculation method, but he does
not appear to have discovered anything
that increased the knowledge of the world
about yellow fever. He became satisfied
that DR.. Freire had not found what he
asserted he had, viz. the yellow fever mi
crobe
DIR. Paul Gaber, of Paris, has given a
great deal of time to the study Of yellow
fever in the hospitals of Havana, and
elsewhere and he is now on his way to
Jacksonville, where he hopes to continue
his Investigations. He does not believe In
DIR. Freires theory, but he does believe in
microbes. According to his own statement
he has effected some wonderful cures His
treatment does not differ greatly from that
pursued by the physicians who have had
experience with yellow fever in this
country. If Congressman Barnes resolu-
ton were adopted, 1t would greatly en-
courage physicians, not only of this, but
other countries, 10 enter the field of in
vestigatiou, and the chances of finding a
preventive, or a cure for yellow fever
would be greatly increased.

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 20. 1888.
The Sanitary Association.


The reorganization of the Citizens SAM
tary Association. and the election Of Dr. j.
B. Read as its president, will be very graf
flying news to those who are interested in
the welfare of Savannah. III an evldeDce
that the people have awakened to the ne
cessity of having an organization for the
protection of the public health,
and one competent to advise and
assist those who are intrusted
with its preservation. The sanitary asso-
citation was organized in 1881, and it was
through its efforts and the influence of its
members that much of the sanitary work,
which has since proved so beneficial to the
public health, was inaugurated. For some
years past the association has been dor
mant, but recent events have developed
the fact that there was necessity
for its reorganization. That object was
successfully accomplished at the meeting at
Metropolitan hall last night. Under the
amended bylaws of the association there is
every reason to expect that its labors will
not cease as long as there is occasion for
sanitary work in and about Savannah.
DR.. Read, the president-elect of the as
ISOLATION, is so well known that it is not
necessary to say anything about him to the
people of Savannah. He not only
stands at the head of his pro
fession, but he is well versed
in sanitation, and is familiar with the
needs of the county and city. He is gen
tleman of more than ordinary nerve and
energy in the direction of matters intrusted
to him, and under his leadership the mem
bers of the association will never have
cause to complain of a lack of work so long
as there is anything to be done.

Gentlemen of the esteemed republican
press, have you heard from Maine since
Brother Blaine said the result there was a
political revolution, the republican majority
being the largest since 1862 Your attention
is respectfully directed to the following
figures: Republican majority in Septem-
Der, 1884, 10, 700; in September, 1883, Is, 800.
The republicans cast 69l more votes in 1883
than they did in 1884, the democrats cast
2,0l7 more, and the prohibitionists cast

The Postofdce Plans.

The plans for the new postoffice in this
city, which were submitted to Postmaster
Lamar by the supervising architect, do
not fully meet the approval of that official.
The objection he finds to them is that the
Accommodations provided for handling the
mails are not sufficient for that purpose.
This objection of Postmaster Lamar
should receive the careful consideration of
the supervising architect. This city is
growing rapidly, and the demand upon its
postoffice will be much greater few years
hence than now. AS the public building
which is about to be erected will have to
answer the purpose of a postoffice for many
years, the mistake should not be made of
providing insufficient facilities for hand
Ing the mails.
Whether or not the lot the government
has purchased is large enough to afford the
room that is needed for the postoffice we do
not know. 1t seems that, accord ing to the
plans, much of the space is given to cor
ridor. Could not part of that be utilized
in the plans for postoffice purposes9 If not,
Postmaster Lamar's suggestion should be
considered-that is, to purchase additional
ground.
The supervising architects, doubtless, dis
posed to do what he thinks will be satisfact-
DRY to our citizens. He certainly ought TO con-
slider carefully the objection of Postmaster
Lamar. The objection to the present post
office is that it does not contain sufficient
room. The new post office would be very
disappointing if, when completed, it should
be open to the same objection

The national democratic committee. it is
said. is trying to prevent the running Of
two democratic tickets in the New York
municipal election. 1t is represented to
Tammany that local fight among the rival
democratic org ,rizations would cost each
of them at least 500, 600, while if only one
ticket is run the entire expense will be only
100000, and in that case 100000 can be
contributed to the national fund. This is
quite strong argument in favor of one
ticket, and it is hoped that Tammany will

Capt. John Goldman writes to the Boston
Post that if Gen. Benjamin F. Butler is not
in favor of free wool now, he was few years
ago. 1t has not been very long, says Mr..
Goldman, since Gen. Butler remarked to
him: II am in favor of free wool. am
interested, indirectly, at least, in the pro
duction and manufacture of the article,
and I ought to be judge Free wool
would not injure producers here, because
their wool would be in greater demand to
mix in with the wool that we should import
in vastly larger quantities than we do now,
and anybody would be fool who does not
see that our manufacturers would be bene-
flied" Butler has changed his politics and
his opinions so often that even when he
tells the truth nobody places any particular
reliance upon his assertions.
