Smallpox Rumors.

Rumors of an epidemic disease are often
no less epidemic, and sometimes even more
alarming, than the disease ITSELF These
rumors recur at certain intervals in every
large town, in which there are always sporadic
cases Of the disease, whatever it may be. We
are glad to be assured that the smallpox
rumors occasioned by the recent multiplication
of cases in Brooklyn, and especially at the
Flatbush Hospital, just beyond the Brooklyn
city line, as well as in Hoboken and elsewhere,
do not justify serious apprehensions in
New York. Here very few new cases have
been reported. 1t is to be hoped that the
energetic measures taken by DR.. Carnochan to
prevent the spread Of the pestilence in Dutch
town, the eastern part of Williamsburg-to
which point its latest outbreak has been
traced-in Brooklyn, in Hoboken, and in
other cities adjoining new York, may be
equally effective Meanwhile, the proper au-
thorities should redouble their vigilance in
providing against the possible visit of the
smallpox, or of any other epidemic, to this
metropolis. If due precautions were inces-
sanity taken against everything that can either
provoke or aggravate infectious and conta-
gious diseases the latter would be stripped Of
more than half their horror and of almost
all their danger.

their new crcumstancesf Will the weakness
OF France encourage war and conquest, or will
it encourage peace and genuine development
1t is fact patent to all intelligent minds that
| if Prussia and Russia are agreed they can
| divide between them the whole north of Eu-
rope. Holland and Denmark are still In the
way of Prussian development, and Sweden is
to Russia an inconvenient neighbor. Austria
is weak, because of her internal divisions, and
Great Britain has practically ceased to be a
continental Power. Is the humiliation Of
France to mark the commencement Of an era
of peace or to furnish an opportunity for the
triumph of wrong? Who can tell?
All things taken into account, we are not
disposed to act the part of the prophet of evil
tidings. We admit that the spiri. of conquest
which drove France into this war; which has
made Germany somewhat cruelty exacting,
which has made Italy regardless of the most
sacred rights, is not highly encouraging. At
the same time we cannot deny that amid all
the wild confusion and apparent anarchy right
has been prevailing and important steps have
been made in the worlds progress. War has
been found to be dreadfully expensive and
dreadfully destructive, as we'll as painfully
uncertain in its results. Public opinion
worldwide public opinion-has revealed
power which it was never supposed it could
possess. The interests Of humanity have been
found to be SO much identified in all nations
and among all peoples that hope rather than
despair finds encouragement. The era is new.
full Of doubt, full Of danger, but not by any
means absolutely discouraging.
Let us hope that. as one result of this war,
the peoples will learn that their interests are
Identical. If this lesson is properly learned
the new era will be one of peace, not of war.
Poor France may yet recover and find happier
times than she ever found before.
