J. Gould's $5,000 donation to Memphis for the relief of yellow fever sufferers entitles him to all the credit he is receiving, and his order to the Howard association to continue their work of mercy and that we would foot their bills, is, if possible, still more commendable. To touch J. Gould's pocket is not an easy matter, but suffering has done it. Some one has suggested that Jay Gould has concluded to run the yellow fever business alone this season, and it does look a little that way. He has the money and seems to be willing, and his liberality will do him good in future efforts to grab and control railroads.
