Dr. HARVEY ON YELLOW FEvER.-Dr Harvey of
Chester lectured at Marcus Hook last week. for the
benefit of the Yellow Fever Fund He took for his
text the appropriate subject of Fevers" and after
reviewing blood and other fevers spoke of the terri
BILE epidemic, Yellow Fever, as follows:


yellow fever does not belong to either of the two
preceding classes 1t is also known black vomit,
and black jack. 1t is not contagious as small pOx
and other diseases of that class are The patient

cate the disease to another person. Nor does the at

north in summer time. II is chiefly confined to cities

physicians is believed to be microscopic insects
These insects are detected in the black matter vomi.

city in the closed hold of vessel and there liberated
these insects f this is the correct theory increase in
the atmosphere and may remain in a single part of
the CITY, gradually widening their boundaries In
stances in the history of yellow fever it has been
observed in various cities and in different epidemics
were forcibly presented in confirmation of these
views.

The yellow fever still RACES in its old localities and
has in many spread to the rural districts. The
new cases are very numerous and the death roll but
little abated The disease has also broken out i'm new
places, and it will doubt continue to spread until
cold weather puts stop to it. The contributions in
aid of the sufferers still going in and all bust

poorer classes, large amount of money is required

We confess to have but little patience
with the man who talks about the good


times of '65, but who doesn't know
enough to know that those times cost us
| the sacrifice of half million lives and a
debt that will remain a burden on the
| government when those men now living
are all dead. We can have those times
again when we have all the circum-
stances but not without 1t was the de-
mand for, and consumption Of the prod
ucts of our farms and workshops that
made good times. Then the government
was purchaser to the tune of two or
three millions day. But the man who
isn't an idiot knows that that process
could not continue forever. Isn't the
debt great enough2


More money" will not give US good
times. If there were today in the Treas
ury of the United States two thousand
million additional greenbacks, that fact
would not create demand for single
days labor. If all the bonds of the gov
ernment were paid off tomorrow in
greenbacks it,.would not swell the demand
for labor. Men will not buy labor,
whether having much or little money,
until there is demand for the products
OF labor, and not then until reasonably
assured that ignorant demagogues will
not be permitted to change the terms of
sill contracts and the value of all dollars
by stupid legislation.


What every business interest of this
country demands to day, is to know
whether the government intends to keep
faith with its creditors, to know whether
our measure of value means hundred
cents, or whether it is an uncertain guam
tity that may mean a hundred cents to-

pie ever did or ever will attain perma
nent prosperity without reliable stand
ard which has a well known and uniform
relation to labor, so that it may be def
nitely and certainly known what prom
ise to pay really means.


Men talk fippantly and foolishly about
the shrinkage of values. The trouble is
that they ran off after strange gods.
They forgot or ignored the real measure
of value. They acted upon the hypoth-
esis that the government was dishonest
contractor and would not pay its prom
ises in honest dollars, worth a hundred
cents each. The property bought upon
coin basis. whether in '65, or any other
year, is worth as many dollars to-day as
then. The men who paid in dollars
worth but forty cents must not expect as
many dollars worth hundred. The
men who DO expect it, plainly enough
make public proclamation of the fact
that they expect the government to be
dishonest; and also of the fact that they
would gladly pay the laborer in depre-
ciated dollar, or in worthless dollar, if
only the government would permit The
question to be answered is.-Shall the
government pay its debts fairly and
squarely and honestly, as individuals
have heretofore been expected to do, or
shall it 60 in for partial or wholesale re-
pudiation There is but one answer for
honest men to give, and it should be
given at the polls with such emphasis
that no scoundrel will hereafter venture
to express doubt of the purpose Of the
government to keep its promise to all
men, Newark American.

The strong attachment of subscribers
to well conducted newspapers is fully
confirmed by publishers "Stop my pa
pei" words of dread to beginners in
business-lose their terror after a paper
has been established for term of years
So long as paper pursues just, honora-
BILE, and judicious course, meeting the
wants of its customers in all respects, the
ties of friendship between the subscribers
and the paper are as hard to break by an
outside third party as the link which
binds old friends in business or social life
Occasionally defects and errors in a news
paper are overlooked by those who have
become attached to it, through its peru
sal for years. They sometimes become
dissatisfied with it on account of some
thing which had slipped into its columns,
and may stop taking it; but the absence
of the familiar sheet at their homes and
offices, for a few weeks, becomes an in
supportable privation, and they hasten
to take it again, and possibly apologize
for having it stopped. No friendship on
earth is more constant than that coz
tracted by the reader for journal which
makes an honest and earnest effort to
merit its continued support. Hence a
conscientiously conducted paper becomes
a favorite in the family.

We have already been informed by our

A democratic member Of Congress the
other day in Washington gave assurance
that as soon as Congress meets he will in
troduce resolution directing the Potter
Committee to investigate all the cipher tele-
grams of both sides.


All right. We suspect that about one
half the members of the House have reso-
lutions in their pockets ready to be flung at
the reading clerk as soon as they can catch
the Speakers eye, ordering an Investigation.
Mr.. Hale has, we believe, pre-empted the
ground on the republican side; Mr.. Potter
himself may be heard from, and the OPEN
ing hours OF the session will be made lively
body and everything.


We trust Speaker Randall will rule all
efforts at investigation ia order. The
House cannot do anything less harmful for
the three months which will remain to it
when it meets than resolve itself into half a
dozen o. dozen energetic committees of
inquiry, and give the whole of its great
mind to cipher dispatches The country
can get on very we'll without any new laws,
and the appropriations will not take up
much time. If both houses will agree to do
nothing for the session except pass the
necessary appropriations and investigate
cipher dispatches the people of the United
States will be happy and content.


We are not of those who habitually speak
with contempt of Congress, nor do we ap-
prove of this too prevalent habit in the
press and among the people, but the posi-
tion of the country just now, the condition
of industry and trade, leave nothing for the
present Congress to do which it is at all
likely to do, and therefore the less it at
tempts to do the better.

THE WEATHER.-During yesterday the do
preston that moved from Canada into Nova
Scotia and New Brunswick developed on the
northern margin of the Gulf Stream decidedly
low barometer. 1t did not, however, affect the
weather within the territory of the United
States except in the extreme northeast of Maine
In the Northwest and West the barometer has
fallen briskly, with warm southerly winds. The
new depression advancing from that direction
will probably move toward the lower lake and
Ohio Valley regions, and find an outlet to the
Atlantic coast in that direction As yet the
weather continues extremely fine over all the
territory east of the Missouri and Mississippi
valleys, being cool on the eastern and warm on
the western section Of that area. The highest
pressures are now north of the lakes and south
Of Tennessee. There will be no appreciabe
change in the weather to-day from that pub

without counting half-breeds. But what
is of more moment to us, who have the
charge of the remaining Indian people
within our borders, and to whom it must
be O matter of conscience to see that they
are decently treated, actual count shows
that in the last four years. in a popu-
lation of one hundred thousand Indians,
belonging to nearly one hundred tribes,
there has been an actual though slow
increase. the excess of births over deaths
varying from six-tenths of one per cent to
2.32 per cent. This is the important
fact developed by Colonel Mallery's
valuable investigation. The Indians
are not dying out; and our In
dian policy concerns, therefore, not
race which will presently disappear, but
people who are permanently part of us
and for whose care and future we must have
not a temporary and perfunctory policy,
but one which shall last, and whose chief
object should be to redeem them as quickly
as possibly from their savage state and in
corporate them into the general body of the
people, making them amenable to the same
laws as other residents and throwing upon
them, as quickly as is reasonable, the bur-
dens Of life, from which the agency plan
now too greatly relieves them. On the
present theory the Indian is perforce
tramp. He cannot own property individ-
ually-at least, he is not encouraged to do
so. If he separates himself from his tribe
and tries to earn his living by labor he
becomes an object of suspicion and perse-
cution by the Indian agents, to whom he
then ceases to be profitable and it is but
few years since that in California hundreds
Of Indians living quietly and usefully as
farm laborers, were suddenly and cruelty
''gobbled up" by the Indian Bureau and
forced on to reservation, to be made pau
pers against their wills.
