The Cholera.

A cable telegram announces ut length the
a case of Asiatic cholera in
London, an event for some time dreaded but
no doubt fully anticipated. and while it creates
sensation among the people, it is presumed
that steps have been taken to prevent the Wis
itation from becoming public calamity
The disease may or may not soon find its way
to American seaports. New York has COM
menced the work Of preparing for its recep-
ton, and adopted measures for systematic
street cleaning and other sanitary precautions
which might be copied with advantage by
other cities.

lost the Emperor of France, will now
seek for friend in the Emperor Of Germany,
and the dear old Pope, the good but unfortu-
nate Pho Mono, has already secured the friend
who will see him righted Ia the stout old Ger
man who was yesterday only the King of
Prussia, but is to-day the confirmed Emperor
of Germany. We incline to the opinion, too,
that this new Germany will hold back Russia
from Constantinople and that Russia will thus
devote her attention less to the Bosphorus,
and more to the development of her vast ter
ritories of Asia, even to the Pacific Ocean.
We believe, too, from what our travelling
special correspondent on the Euphrates and in
Persia and in Asiatic Turkey has told us of
English and French enterprise in those
regions-the cradle of the human race-the
great centre of the mighty nations and races
from which Europe was peopled or overrun-
we believe that England and France will be
active in calling to life again all those inte-
resting historical regions, from Jerusalem to
the sites Of Babylon, and Nineveh, Babel and
the Garden of Eden, to Persepolis and theace
to Hindostan.
Such is the field of thought open before us
in Europe and in Asia from the issues of this
war in France; and all because Louis Napo-
leon OF France, as kng-maker Of Europe,
would not have Hohenzollern as King of
Spain

The Eastern Question In a New Phase.
Prince Charles of Roumania has published
letter in which he hints at his approaching
resignation of authority con account Of the
too great liberty allowed to the people by the
constitution" Such is the substance of
cable telegram from Europe, which we pub
lish elsewhere. This intelligence is in reality
OF much more importance than what may
appear at first sight. II foreshadows an East
ern question agitation. 1t inclines toward
placing Turkey in an embarrassing position at
moment of most critical import In the cur
rent history of the affairs of Europe and the
East. And by whom is it undertaken? By
Hohenzollern prince-Prince Charles, the
brother of Prince Leopold, whose nomination
to the throne of Spain produced the terrible
war between Prussia and France. Charles
of neutrality-suspicious. is of the
royal house of imperial Germany Prus-
STA may seek to take a new departure
eastward in conjunction with Russia-the
Car, of course, keeping on the old path
even before the Germans disarm near Paris.
If the Emperor William has turned his eyes
in that direction it may be useful, after the
fashion Of Esop's fable, to have the waters of
the Danube muddied little beforehand
Prussia, in her new rifle of 'thead pacificator"
of the Old World peoples, her sword in one
hand and drafts of new constitutions in the
other, may have determined to settle the
Eastern question before his Majesty unhar-
nesses from his uniform in Rerlin.
In view of such an eventuality we illustrate
our cable news telegram by the publication of
complete history of the Roumanian question,
Prince Charles call to power, the resources of
the Danubian Principalities, the Princes
family relationships, politics and money
resources. The compilation will prove of
much interest and great utility to the public

Extension of Storm Signals to the Pncifc.
After tomorrow, February l, regular wea-
Their reports will be received at Washington
three times day from Corinne, in Utah, and
San Francisco, in California. The system of
storm signals which has so frequently been
advocated by the HERALD and the adoption of
which has already commended itself by i'm
portant direct or indirect advantages, will
thus be extended from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. The first Of the recent heavy snow
storms came, according to unanimous reports,
from the Rocky Mountains The presumption
is that these storms came from the Pacific.
One important scientific question to be de-
cided by the storm signals is whether this was
actually the case, proving that some of the
storms hitherto supposed to sweep from the
Atlantic over the country on this side of the
Rocky Mountains have, in fact, swept from the
Pacific across the lofty Sierra Nevada and the
Rocky Mountains 1t may be expected that
the system of storm signals will have been so
greatly perfected and extended within few
months as to satisfy the public that we have
not exaggerated the immense practical SER
vices which it is capable of rendering. This
system will effect saving Of life and property
on both land and sea which will be incalcu-
liable, if due attention be paid to it's warnings
of the approach of storms, from whatever direc-
ton
