The Buffalo Courier ably defends the
caucus as the only means of making
party majorities effective. “In the new

election of United States Senators the
caucus is an indispensable contrivance
to unite the majority party upon a can

The attack of Charles Francis Adams,
Jr., upou the study of Latin and Greek in

edited papers as the New York Tribune
and Sun take substantially the same view.
The New York Times sees “only a shade
of difference’’ between the tariff platforms
of the Ohio Democrats and the Minnesota
Republicans. The difference really is that
the Republican convention squarely fav

convention dodged the responsibility eith

its party, tree trade, or of opposing it. It
adopted a mongrel platform. It just the
particular shade specified that bothers

Tlie People’s Eyes Opening.
The States of Pennsylvania. Massa
chusetts, Michigan. Kansas and Colo
rado, wonted Republican strongholds,
last fall elected Democratic Governors
for the first time since the great triumph
of the “grand old party.” let, strange as
it may seem, each of these common
wealths preserves its integrity, and as
far as can lie judged is, if anything, the
better for the change. It is a trifle em
barrassing to the Republican organs to
make their predictions accord with recog
nized laets. and it is Irritating to them
to think that the people at
jarve may deduce from the
equanimity and vood order of these
captured commonwealths, the conclusion
that the country would be safe under
iHimoeratic rule-
Of course, it is positively heterodox to
think so but the people have leen
doing, a great deal of inde
pendent thinking of late. and
more they do of it the worse it is for the
“grand old party.” Hitherto the good
folks of Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and
other fertile nurseries of Radicalism have
deemed Democracy synonymous with
treason, and regarded a Democrat as a
veritable pariah fit only tor political ostra
cism. Guiteau, however, was a power
ful teacher, and his mad act did more to
acquaint the people ofthe country in gen
eral to the true character of Radicalism
than all the criticism and denunciation
that its practices had provoked.
It is encouraging to find that the claims
of Radicalism are lieiug questioned by
many who have previously recognized
them, and that its leaders are forced to
present evidence as to the justice of its
pretensions. Asa contemporary remarks:
“The Americanization of the people who
now hold the opinion that our country
men are divided, not into two parties,
each seeking the public welfare by dif
ferent methods, hut into patriots who try
to save it and enemies who wish to de
stroy it, will lie one of the liest results of
a Democratic triumph in the country at
large." When the “Americanization” of
these people is completed there will Ik- an
end to the “grand old party.”
Counsellor Cook, who was employed by
Attorney General MacVeagh in connec
tion with the first star route trial, al
leges that .Mr. Ker was imported from
Philadelphia to draw up indictments.
His first indictment was stupidly incor
rect. By the use of initials in the name
of Sanderson it was quashed. That in
volved the government in very much more
expense by requiring the retaining of all
the witnesses upon whose evidence the
indictment had been originally found,
and the time required to dispose of the
eases was increased, during all of which
the expenses of the attorneys were run
ning on. In the second indictment the
name of the person (Sanderson) whose
initials only were given in the first in
dictment. was dropped out entirely, and
it is said that he had seen Bliss and others
in the meantime and had the assurance
that he would not he indicted. It is
another remarkable fact that the
wealthiest contractors have never been
pursued at all. Shortly after Mr. Brew
ster became Attorney General he confer
red exclusive power upon Mr. Bliss to
institute civil suits for the recovery of
money from contractors, and while no
civil suits were directly instituted of any
consequence, negotiations were entered
into for arbitration. It was the intention
of the present Postmaster General, who
determined recently that the matter was
under his control and the suits must he
instituted. It is a question worthy of
consideration that while so much interest
is manifested in the pursuit of Dorsey and
Brady and the relatives ami associates of
Dorsey, that others were allowed wholly
to escajie indictment and arrangements
made to settle with them hv civil suit or
arbitration. In brief, the eases were not
taken up in the manner and spirit or ac
cording to the plans that had received the
approval of President Garfield, nor as
they would have lieen had he lived. His
maxim was substantially this: ‘"While
no guilty person should escape, no one
who might be innocent should tie pursued
or condemned.”
Professor Thompson, of the University
of Pennsylvania, has written for the
Worth American, and Mr. Wharton Bar
ker. of Philadelphia, has published in
pamphlet form, a series of papers de
signed to show that the future surplus of
national revenue should l*e distributed
among the States in proportion to popu
lation In order to relieve the latter from
local taxation. The learned professor
supports his proposition with much abil
ity, but he will not l*e able to popularize
it. The true theory is to reduce taxa
tion—to cut down tlie tariff—so that there
will l*e no great surplus. As soon as we
reach the time when there will be no
bonds available for redemption, there
must lie a very great reduction of the
national income. A few years thereafter —
or when the great block of bonds falls
due —our taxes must lie raised again, thus
adapting the national income to the na
tional needs. A large surplus is an evil
to lie carefully avoided.
Probably public sentiment in Richmond
forced Beirue and Elam to fight it out at
eight paces, but public sentiment else
where is quite different. The Boston Star,
noting the duel, satirically- remarks:
•‘Beirne and Elam, the two bloodthirsty
Richmond editors, alter getting as much
advertising as possible out of the affair,
dhl manage at last to effect a meeting and
exchange a couple of shots. Mr. Elam,
who is a slim gentleman weighing 136
pounds, was hit in the right hip— Mr.
Beirne, who is a colossus over six feet in
jheiglit aud weighing 225 pounds, escaped
unhurt. The chivalrous Mr. Elam was
naturally very- much chagrined at his
failure to get in his work on so generous
a mark. As he was borne off the field he
is said to have exclaimed in the bitterness
of disappointed skill, ‘Oh, d—n it, I can’t
shoot!’ In this opinion we think the
country at large will thoroughly concur
with Mr. Elam. lie couldn’t hit the side
of a house on a clear day.”
The Baltimore Manufacturers' Record
announces that twenty-five steamships
are due to arrive at that port prior to

the Pennsylvania steel nulls. To move
the 90,000 or 100,000 tons to arrive within
sixty days about 10,000 cars will be re
quired. Freights from the Mediterranean
to this side are now low.
A New York dispatch says: Alderman
Hoadly, of London, after several weeks’
negotiations in this country, has com
pleted arrangements for laying and oper
ating anew cable. The name of the new
company is “The American, British and
Continental Company.” Its capital stock
is $1,500,000. Two cables are proposed,
one from a point north of Glasgow, and to
land at Belle Island, 300 miles north of
Heart’s Content, Newfoundland, and the
other in a southerly route from Pensance
on Land’s End to Castle Island, 200 miles
southeast of Halifax. The work of laying
will be commenced next September.
Knoxville, Tennessee, is entering large
ly into manufacturing enterprises, and
among its latest industries are car works
and car wheel companies. These have
just secured the contract for furnishing
the East Tennessee. Virginia "and Geor
gia Railroad with 500 standard box cars.
The contract, including the castings, will
aggregate $250,000, which is a handsome
sum to keep at home and distribute among
the Knoxville mechanics. Knoxville is
only one of many Southern cities now
coining to the front as manufacturing
centres.
There is altout 5.000,000 of trade dollars
in circulation in this country, and in the
North and West a lively fight is now
being waged against them. These dollars
were originally made for circulation in
China, but some of them were brought
back to this country. Altout $35,000,000
of them were coined. Intrinsically, but
not legally, the trade dollar is worth more
than the standard dollar, but the Treasury
will not redeem them. If deposited in a
government assay office they will be

Popular Rule in England.
The Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain.
the leader of the English Radicals, made
a sjieeeh at the recent reception to John
Bright at Birmingham, in which he
sounded the key-note for his party 1 The
extension of the franchise and equalized
electoral districts.” It is generally sup
posed in this country that the great
reform bill of 1832 put an end to “rotten
boroughs” and established popular rule
in England on a basis such as it never oc
cupied before. While the reform bill did
much toward liberalizing England, it was
but a half way measure, and representa
tion in England to-day is but little im
proved compared with its status a half
century ago.
Mr. Chamberlain's singularly clear ex
planation of the existing system, es
pecially its defects, has more than a
passing interest. Four millions of men
or five out of eight of the adult males of
Great Britain—have no votes. It is in
the counties (country districts) that the
greater number are denied the privilege
of suffrage. In the boroughs, out of a
population of 15,000,000, 1,850,000 are
electors; in the counties, out of a popula
tion of 20,000,000 only 1,200,000 have votes.
The proportion is one to eight in the
boroughs, and one to seventeen in the
eouuties. Mr. Chamberlain declares that
there is no reason whatever for this dis
tinction—we Americans will certainly
agree with him—and the Radicals would
wipe it out. Agricultural laborers and
the residents of country towns which do
not happen to be in Parliamentary
boroughs are as much entitled to a voice
in the affairs of the nation as the people
ofthe larger towns.
But there is a greater evil in the Eng
lish system than this inequality of rights.
Owing to the peculiar arrangement of
electoral districts,- a vote in one place may
be equal to a dozen votes in another
place. Oue-tifih of the voters in the United
Kingdom now elect half of the House of
Commons. A population of 600,000 in
eighty-five counties “returns 136 mem
bers, and a similar population of ex
actly the same number in 217 boroughs
return 200 members, and a third popula
tion also of 6,000,000, but residing in six
teen great constituencies, only returns
thirty-six members;” and so “the last of
these 6,000,000 has only one-eighth of the
political power which is conferred upon
the 6,000,000 in the other boroughs; it has
only aliout one-fourth of the political
power which is conferred upon the 6,000,-
000 in the counties.”
As an illustration of “this traudulent
thing called representation,” Mr. Cham
berlain points out that Warwick, with a
population of only 12,000, elects two mem
bers, while Birmingham, with 400,000, re
turns only three: so that a voter of War
wick has thirty-four times the
political power of a voter of
Birmingham. To style such a
system “representative government”
is a misnomer. The Radicals demand
impartial suffrage and equal electoral dis
tricts in order that every- vote may have
an equal value. Mr. Chamberlain’s speech
was received with the liveliest demonstra
tions ot approval, and it seems to have
created a tremendous stir all over the
United Kingdom, lieing regarded as the
first gun of a vigorous Radicar campaign
to make the parliamentary system “a gov
ernment of the people, by the jieople and
for the people.”
The Chieagd Tribun remarks that some
idea of the motives ol Irish Boards of
Guardians, generally composed of land
lords and their underlings, bailiffs and
sub-agents,in sending their paupers to this
country, may be gathered from the fol
lowing extract from “Realities of Irish
Life,” a book published by Mr. Mu art
Trench, Lord Lansdowne’s agent, some
twenty years ago. He writes: “In little
more than a year 3,500 paupers left
Kenmare for America, all free (assisted >
emigrants, without any ejectments
having to be brought against them
to enforce it or the slightest pres
sure put upon - them to go. Mat
ters now began to right themselves. Only
fifty or sixty paupers remained iu the
house (workhouse) chargeable to the
property of which 1 had care, and Lord
Lansdowne’s estates at length breathed
freely.” Mr. Stuart Trench’s son, Towns
end Trench, who is the present Lord
Lansdowne’s agent, seems to.lie carrying
out his father's policy. The greater
number of the pauper emigrants shipped
to this country recently and all those sent
back Saturday- .appear to hail from the
vicinity of the Lansdownc estates near
Tralee and Kenmare. It is well that
some objection has been made to the sys
tem at last.
The following extract from a letter
written by John Adams in 1780 to a friend
about to go abroad, is quoted as having
an application to modern anglontania:
“You wish to cultivate your manners be
fore you begin your travels. Permit me
to take the liberty of advising you to cul
tivate the manners ot your own country,
not those of Europe. The more decisive
ly you adhere to a manly simplicity in
your dress, equipage and behaviour, the
more you will devote jrourself to business
and study and the less to dissipation and
pleasure; the more you will recommend
yourself to every man and woman in this
country, whose friendship and acquain
tance are worth your gaining or wishing.
There is an urbanity without ostentation
or extravagance which will succeed every
where and at all times.”

President Arthur’s juggling with the in
ternal revenue districts seems to have
opened old sores in his party. The dis
tinction between stalwart and half-breed
was apparently fading away, but the in
scrutable devices of a Presidential aspi
rant nave evidently made it necessary to
draw the lines again, and Arthur is whip
ping the half-breeds out of the administra
tion party with a lus.ty vigor that sug
gests anything but an apostle of harmony.
We can only trust that his stalwart out
break will prove permanent in character,
for the Democrats can ask nothing more
favorable to the maintenance of their tidal
wave successes of last year.
The South Carolina Railroad Commis
sion has fixed new rates tor passengers
and freights in that State, which have
been submitted for the consideration of
the railroad companies prior to general
adoption. For adult passengers a'uniform
rate of three cents per mile has been
established, and one and a half cents for
childred five years old and under twelve
years. Sleeping car rates not to exceed
one dollar for one hundred miles. Molli
fications of the rates established will be
made in the case of companies who can
show undue hardship or exceptional
reasons for such modifications.
Whiie Germany is busy supplying
China with torpedoes, war ships and
other war material. France, against
whom these efforts are directed, contin
ues to show her prowess in Madagascar,
where no resistance is possible. If the
Paris newspapers truthfully represent
the people, the Republic is as eager for
conquest as the Empire used to be. But
France is not likely to make friends
abroad by warring against a race whose
government and religion are founded on
peace, and to whom life is a continued
struggle for existence.
The largest piece of glass ever made in
the United States will be on exhibition at
the Louisville show. It is fifteen feet long
and eleven and a half feet wide, and the
exhibitor is W. C. DePauw, of Indiana.
And that piece of glass has probably more
protection to the square foot than any
other manufactured article that will be
shown at Louisville.
Barge Transportation.
Discussing the freight question in its
bearing upon the city of Augusta, Mr.
Chas W. Doughty refers to a class of
barges that should be better known in our
Southern waters. He says: “There are
in use in Germany and many other parts
of the world, iron steamboats, or barges,
capacity about 500 tons,
cotton: depth of keel or draft from 24 to
28 inches; cost of said vessels are, I think,
about $15,000 each—they ought not to
cost more. Say four ot these vessels—
cost *6o,ooo—would carry in the cotton
season, say 300,000 bales, and bring back
in their half capacity—one-half loaded up
stream—3o,ooo tons of freight. Thus for
an insignificant sum of *60.000 you have a
highway free to all—independent of pools
—with wnich to honorably and amicably
compete with lines that costs millions.”
Many of the rivers of the South now
almost, if not wholly, abandoned by com
merce and navigation, might again lie
utilized by the introduction of such light
draft vessels, to the great advantage of
entire agricultural sections left without
transportation facilities by removal ofthe
ordinary river steamers. Barge trans
portation is the new order in course of
development. Out "West the barges are
constructed without cumbering with ma
chinery to increase the draft, aad are
towed by insignificant steamtugs, one of
these proving sufficient to tow a whole
fleet of shallow barges carrying two or
three hundred thousand bushels of grain.
They do not need hut a few feet of water,
and trial "trips on the Mississippi and
Missouri rivers proved a triumph of river
navigation over the liites, sand bars and
shoals that have wrecked so many costly
steamers.
A sweeping change will soon be made,
it would appear, in the mode of construct
ing freight cars. The new style ot ear,
which is in use upon some roads, created
a sensation at the recent Chicago Expo
sition and took the prize. It is known as
the “Long Gondola Iron Car.” The carry
ing capacity of these ears is only limited
by the strength of the axles. Upon a
test at the exposition one of these cars,
35 feet in length, standard gauge, was
loaded with 70,000 pounds of pig iron,
and though subjected to the severest
usage, there was not the least appear
ance of strain or deflection. The car,
after the several trials, appeared
as if it had not been loaded at all. Of
course, nothing but an iron ear could
withstand such a pressure. The longitu
dinal sills are constructed of heavy
wrought iron tubes two and a half inches
in diameter, each sill being composed of
two tubes, held in position one a few
inches above the other by strong mallea
ble iron clamps. The bolsters and head
sills are composed of dinned iron. The
car is so constructed that various parts
are interchangeable. In the draft-frame
the usual lugs, bolts and nuts are dis
jieiised w ith.
Of.the “assisted” immigrant question
the Boston .Journal says: “The sensible
view- to take of the ease is that every
assisted immigrant is liable to be a pau
per. This lieing assumed, the government
should send back every person who has
come to this country by the assistance
of the British Government. The better
way would be to insist that no immigrant
shall be permitted to land in this country
who does not have the certificate of an
American Consul that he or she is able to
earn his or her ow-n living, and that he or
she has never been an object of charity or
been punished for any crime. We have
got to come to this, and the sooner we
make up our minds to act with energy
the better it will be for us.”
Of the compulsory education law in
Illinois, which went into effect on July 1,
the Chicago Times (Ind.) says:
“It is so thoroughly a humbug that no
one not an absurd sentimentalist sup
poses that the attempt will be made to
give it practical effect. It cannot be en
forced because, first, it provides no ade
quate penalties upon delinquents, and,
second, because in Chicago provision is
not now made, and without an immense
increase m the tax levy for educational
•purposes cannot be made, lor the children
whose parents or guardians are desirous
that thev shall attend school. Even it
some part of the resources of the Chicago
Board of Education were not wasted upon
ambitious attempts at instruction not
within the contemplation of the public
school system, still there would not be
sufficient accommodation for the ten thou
sand waifs and strays, cash boys and
diminutive factory hands whose attend
ance at school the act seeks to compel.
The Governor’s signature ornaments a
legislative absurdity.”
The statute laws passed by the last New

CURRENT COMMENT.
A Plea for the Treasury.
Indianapolis Journal.
“The country has had enough of special
counsel.”
They Die Game.
Washington Post.
The calm courage of despair braces up
the forty-six revenue collectors who are
about to withdraw their “fore feet” from
“the public whey trough.”
The Tabooed Dollar.
Philadelphia News.
Trade dollars are neither salt nor sugar.
Don’t be afraid to hold on to them until
their value is settled by Congress. They
can never be worth less than they are
now, and may be worth more.
Resumably Prohibition.
Chicago Tribune.
After having led the people such a race
of contradiction and folly the lowa will
o’-the-wisp still emits its deceptive light,
inviting its followers to continue the
chase Into the bogs of delusion, popular
tyranny, and defiance of judicial au

Shell Out, Stephen.

Quite Self Evident.
St. Louis Republican.
But it does strike the taxpayer and non
office-seeker with full force. If the Bu

$200,000 less per annum than it has been
costing for the past ten years—as it un

has taken $2,000,000 from the pockets of
the people for party purposes.
Coveting Columbia.
Portland, {Or.) Jl fetes.
Washington Territory ought to have
British Columbia. What life there is in
that sleepv colonial reproduction of an
tiquated European ideas has been largely
brought about by our own people, who
have gone there to make money. Had
“Fifty-four Forty or Fight” been adhered
to, American soil would have lined both
sides of the Straits of Fuca, as it ought
to, and must, from manifest destiny, at
no very remote date.
A Thrifty Statesman.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
With one son already on the pay rolls,
a brother holding a Judgeship in the Ter
ritories, and another relative chief of a
division in the Treasury, Senator Conger,
of Michigan, has just scored another bril
liant victory for reform within the party
by having his son Frank appointed Post
master at Washington with a salary of
$5,000 a year. Now if he will go West and
steal ai: Indian Reservation the Michigan
Senator will lie pretty nearly even with
Logan.
A Wrinkle for Gresham,
New York Times.
Postmaster General Gresham has failed
thus far to please his first assistant, who
declares that he is “too inquisitive.”
With such a person as Mr. Frank Hatton
in the department, the Postmaster Gen
eral can not be too inquisitive, too vigi
lant or too firm in insisting upon being
the actual and not merely thd nominal
head of the postal service. Mr Gresham
is doubtless familiar with the official
history of the easy-going, unsuspicious
Mr. Key, his predecessor.

A Paris correspondent says: “The
American papers have recently published
an item to the effect that Father Hyacinthe
is about to visit the United States again.
This is a mistake. Mr. and Mrs. Loyson
have long desired to cross the Atlantic
once more, and they even engaged their
passage on one occasion, but important
work here in Europe will prevent the
realization of their wishes for some time
to come.”
Senator Bayard, while addressing the
Yale law students, struck at least one
observer “as above the common height, ot
faultless proportions, neither too spare
nor too rotund, erect and lithe, with brown
hair just tinged with gray, close shaven,
fair ami ruddy In complexion, a genial,
speaking eye and mobile mouth, his ex

address simple, natural and graceful.”
A gossip writer in the Troy Tress says
of Bret Harte’s father, whom he met years
ago when he was private tutor of two of
his playmates: “I remember bim well, a
very pleasant gentleman. He married a

most beautiful girls I ever saw, as hand
some as a doll, but had no education. Her
husband educated her, and she became
one of the finest ladies in Hudson.”
Boston claims to be the second banking
city in the Union, far outranking Chicago
and Philadelphia. It has fifty-three na

*50,450,000, and a total outstanding circu

eightv-two banking establishments, hav

fourteen savings banks, having deposits
amounting to *64,137,146.
Salvlni has said since he returned to

The Hartford Times reports that Mr.
Orange Judd, the well-known agricul

of Wesleyan University, is dying in
Florida, word to that effect having been
received by his two sons, who are students
at Wesleyan. Mr. Judd’s health has been
poor for’ some time. lie is now about
sixty-one years old. It is said teat when
he was a student at Middletown he
erected the first telegraph line in Con

around the college building and back to

A. C. Hesing, a German editor, and
sometimes “boss” of Chicago, was caught
in the whisky frauds and the government
recovered a judgment against him for *BO,-
000. It can’t be collected, of course, any
more than the one against Tom Ochiltree,
and, like the warm-haired Congressman,
“Boss” Hesing proposed a nominal com
promise of *2,250. Before it could be ac
cepted, Michaelis, a rival German editor,
ottered the Secretary of the Treasury *lO,-
000 for the judgment. This oiler may be
accepted unless Hesing raises Michaelis
out. Michaelis, it is said, wants the judg
ment to use in case of an editorial tilt
with Hesing.
Not long ago Mrs. Charles Baldwin, of
St. Joseph, Mo., received a postol order
for *22, and gave it to her husband to
cash. By way of a joke, he handed her
only *2O, exclaiming that the post office
charges were *2. Thinking that this was

sent Inspector Metcalf all the way to St.

Mount Desert's New Railway.
Boston traveller.
Mount Desert is tickled with anew toy
this summer—a perpendicular railroad, so
to speak, to the top of the highest sum
mit of the isle; the highest, also, ot the
whole hilly coast region. It is the third
railroad of its kind, the first one being
that to the top of Mount Washington and
the second that on the Righi, in Switzer
land. It is by all odds the best as well as
the latest, according to the verdict of the
excellent Railroad Commissioners of
Maine, two of whom are civil engineers
and practical railroad contractors. This
kind of railroad is really an iron ladder,
the rungs of which are but two or three
inches apart, and the train climbs it by
means of the steel toes of the cog-wheels
geared to the power of the engine. As
one sits on the forward-sloping seat of the
car. Which becomes level as the floor
measures an angle of forty-five degrees
or more, it looks a frightful risk, this
climbing the sheer precipices of the
mountain. But an examination of the
gearing and the construction puts to flight
anything like nervousness. The thick,
stubbed steel teeth of the cog-wheel, in the
first place, do not in the least look like
breaking off, but if one should give way
certainly not all the four, which are
always entering or just about taking hold
of the rungs at the same time. Nor are
the wrought-iron, hand-fastened rungs
likely to give way, for each, with a possi
ble but not probable weight of twenty tons
of engine anil load, distributed on four of
these rungs, is able to bear hundreds of
tons. Then there are several brakes and
stops that can be instantly and suc
cessively brought to bear. As for the
engine "running backwards down the
steeps, as every rung passed and holding
the cog sends the piston against the com
pressed air in the cylinder, the down pro
gress can be only cog by cog and rung by
rung, precisely as slow as the toiling up
ward.
Kins Cholera.
_V>tc Origins Times-Dei eocrat.
All Europe is alarmed over the threat
ened Asiatic cholera, which has already
reached its doors—the Suez Canal—which
has. indeed, appeared in the very harbor
of Marseilles, the great port of the Medi
terranean. There is every reason for this
fear. Sanitary science has made great
progress since the last cholera visitation,
and a more efficient and thorough system
oi quarantine has been devised, but
with all this, there is no disease
more difficult to keep out
than this cholera, k infects the water,
it infects the ships, it is borne on the very
breezes. Europe has fought it for years,
but it cannot boast that it has ever kept
back this disease, which comes with cer
tain but irregular tread. There is one
favorable feature about the propagation
of this disease—the slowness with which
it moves. Eugene Sue, in his “Wander
ing Jew,” figured it as traveling only as
fast as a weary old man! which is, indeed,
its ordinary rate of progress. The first
epidemic that reached Europe originated
in India in 1817, but did not reach West
ern Europe until fourteen years after. It
is noticeable, however, that each subse
quent epidemic has moved more rapidly
than its predecessor, due, probably, to the
fact that travel has become more expe
ditious in this age of steam. Thus, of the
four epidemics that have visited the civi
lized world during the present century,
the first took fourteen years to get from
Bengal to England, the second six, the
third three and the last bareiy one year.
The newspapers have generally predict- 1
ed the cholera this year on the ground
that it is a sixteen-year disease. This
coincidence, its occurrence once every
sixteen years, is not so remarkable after
all if we consider its cause, the disease
having been traced to the great Indian
pilgrimage to Hurdwar, when 3,000,000 or
more pilgrims visit that place. These
pilgrimages, occurring at fixed intervals,
it is not extraordinary that the cholera,
which springs from the filth generated
and from the unsanitary condition in
which the pilgrims live, should also
come in cycles of sixteen years. The
first epidemic of the century reached
Western Europe in 1831, the second in
1847, the third in 1853, the fourth in 1807.
Another epidemic, therefore, would, by
this rule, be due this year.
While much is vague and uncertain
about this disease, its origin and course
of travel never varies. The cholera is al
ways born in India, on the banks of the
Ganges. Its route to Europe is always
the same, westward to Egypt and Persia,
and thence into Russia. It nearly al
ways lingers in that Empire a year or
more, and suddenly makes its appearance
in the north of England. From England
it travels to France, thence through
Southern Europe, from which it springs
suddenly to Canada and New York, to
make its way rapidly through the United
States into Mexico and South America.
It never travels from Egypt direct to
Southern Europe, but always takes the
same circuitous route via" Russia and
England. Whether, however, the Suez
Canal will change its route this year re
mains to be seen.
All the countries of Europe, Great
Britain excepted, are making earnest
preparations for this disease, the greatest
enemy the human race knows. All the
power, all the science that civilization
boasts are united against this dread de
stroyer, this Eastern potentate, King
Cholera. It remains to be seen whether
they can keep out this great enemy, who
counts his victims by thousands arid mil
lions.
