Yellow Fever and ChOlera-Thc Duty OF
the Health Authorities.

While we would on no account raise unne-
cessary alarm concerning the yellow fever and
cholera. and while this city, happily, Is en-
tirely free from these dreadful scourges, the
health authorities and people should not forget
that the former he's already advanced from
the West Indies and South America to this
country, and that the latter is pressing west
ward from the northern and eastern parts of
Europe. 1t should not be forgotten that these
fearful diseases are making strides in this
direction, and that this great commercial
centre, to which ships from all parts Of the
world come daily, as we'll as thousands upon
thousands of immigrants, is particularly sus-.
ceptible of contagion. Let it be remembered,
too, that the state of the weather just now is
such as to favor the introduction and spread
of yellow fever and cholera. Nothing, we
fear, but strict enforcement of the quaran-
tine laws and thorough cleansing of the city
can keen il from these terrible epidepaica. To

The Late Accidenfs-The Peoples Indigna.
ton = Sure Remedy.
The people are certainly up in arms against
the careless railroad and steamboat corpora
lions OF the country. The public meetings in
Massachusetts,, to shape and direct public opin-
Ion Alright in the matter Of the Revere disaster,
nave been as effective there as Recorder
Jackets strong charge promises to be here.
ihey demanded an unhinching investigation
and the trial and punishment of the guilty, and
they prayed their ''brethren in all communi-
ties In which such catastrophes may occur to
take earnest and immediate action thereon,
that those having so largely the life and happi-
ness of the people in their keeping may be
taught their responsibilities, and learn that
they are not only amenable to public opinion,
but to God and the laws of the land" Wen
dell Phillips took part in one of these meetings,
and while charging that the community itself
was greatly responsible for the disaster be-
cause it had knowingly permitted violations of
the charter by the railroad company, he made
some excellent suggestions for future safety,
which are especially applicable to many of our
own immediate railroads, where accommoda-
ton trains are continually playing, like truant
children, upon the track over which the light
ming express trains sweep like blast every
hour. He arraigned the managers of the
Eastern Railroad for worse than criminal
carelessuess in having no timetables and in
the loose method of conducting their business.

telegraph; that a clear track should be kept
from station to station; that there should be
separate tracks for express and way trains;
that stations should be made safer, and that
highway crossings should be prohibited. Rail-
roads must be brought under stringent code
of laws and made to obey these laws.
These suggestions are palpably sound. The
general method Of double tracks has trans
ferred the point of danger on trains from the
front to the rear. No one is afraid Of col
lision in front any more. The rear cars
which in any other disaster, such as run off
the track or a tumble down an embankment
are the Safest have become permanently
dangerous by reason of threatening collisions
from the rear. The new system of safety sig
nails must more fully concede this new danger.
The easy-going sentiment of the community,
as Mr.. Phillips says, has been greatly to
blame in all these disasters. The tyranny of
corporations has not been resisted with the
spirit that it should have been. We have
submitted to them rather than have any
trouble, just as man pays twice on train
rather. than be put off. This easy going senti-
ment, however, seems now to have been
dashed into indignation, and if the storm blows
over without some exemplary punishment of
the wretches who presumed upon the erring
good nature of the public, and without some
new and stringent rules for the correction of
all abuses, then the public deserves no protec-
ton and monstrous corporations will never be
brought to a true sense of their responsibility.

York this fall. This influx of foreign talent of
various degrees will awaken the energies OF
| our home artists, and hence we are likely to
liancy and variety, has not been equalled for
many years past. Then, again, there appears
to be distant prospect of another visit from
the yachting world of Old England, and an
other opportunity for our yachtsmen to make
gallant struggle for the Royal Cup, whose
possession gives to American yachts title to
the championship of the world.
1t is this yearly increasing life, energy,
hustle, prosperity, excitement and gayety in
New York which points Enthusiastically to her
eventual destiny as the greatest, richest and
| most magnificent metropolis in the world. The
stupid census officials, from incompetency or
for purposes of political jugglery, may make
out her population on paper to be half mil
lion or so less than it actually is, but they
cannot alter the fact that in every direction
dwellings are springing up; that whole neigh
borhoods heretofore devoted to private resi-
dences are being appropriated to business pur-
poses; that real estate is active and in great
demand; that property sells well and leases
well, and that on every hand appear indications
of increasing wealth. Whatever may be the
faults of the present city government we have
at least received at its hands the advantage of
magnificent improvements, of fine, open boule-
wards, of beautiful parks. Whatever may be
the result Of any political turmoil or faction
firht the naonla will demand that tbaSa i'm,
provements shall go on, and that the good
work once commenced shall never be abap
doned. Already foreigners are seeking New
York as the place where fame is to be won and
fortunes are to be made quicker than in any of
the great cities of Europe and, with the steady
development of the power Of steam and cleo
tricity, they will soon be drawn to the young
metropolis by the necessities of business and
trade, as the centre of news and commerce for
the whole world. 1t is glorious destiny, and
one which should enlarge the views of those
in authority, and induce them to make New
York worthy of it's future position. Let the
politicians contemplate the increase of bust
ness, the whirl of pleasure and the general
activity and excitement of the approaching
fall season, and they will understand that there
is something better to fight for than power and
plumber in connection with the city of their
birth or adoption. Let the people who care
nothing for the politicians do the same, and
they will be satisfied to pay high price for
being governed, provided only they are gov
erned in the right way.

TUE INGENUITY OF RoGUEs was exempll-
fed again in Washington yesterday. Two
raised checks, most ingeniousy altered, the
one from seven hundred TO forty thousand
dollars and the other from one hundred and
four to seventeen thousand dollars, were pre-
scented at the bank The individual who
offered these checks was well known to the
bank officers, who had no reason to dscredit
his honesty, but they did so instinctively, and
on investigating the matter found out the
swindlc. The schemer left during the invest-
cation and has not since turned up. He
s'sunk" eight hundred dollars in the venture,
which he will probably never claim.

Triumphs of Science-The Late Cyclones,
Within the last fortnight we have had two
striking and brilliant triumphs OF science.
The fearful cyclone which developed itself fully
near Savannah on The evening Of the Goth inst.
was detected and preannounced at thirty five
minutes past seven o'clock on the morning
of the 18th as then existing ''between the
Bahamas and Georgia" This announcement
from the Office of the Chief Signal Officer took
place nearly three entire days before the
tropc-born monster fell upon the Georgia
coast in all its fury. On the morning of the
18th the announced path of ''the cyclone in
Florida" was ''to the northwestward into
Georgia, with easterly winds and rain," and
later in the day this telegram was reaffirmed
by the Signal Officer. On the 10Th it was
added at an early hour by telegraph, ''The
centre of the cyclone will probably keep a
short distance east Of the immediate coast line
and be off Cape Hatteras tomorrow
morning" These storm warnings, issued to
all the harbors interested between forty eight
and seventy-two hours in advance Of the
threatened hurricane it seems, by our latest
reports, were verified with fatal punctuality
The HERALD has already given in full the state
ment of the Savannah Republican,, that
on the Goth the weather report of the Signal
Bureau had been singularly correct, and that
in this instance ''the correct predictions OF
the Bureau have saved great many lives
and an immense amount of property" The
Al. a.:
mated at not much less than one hundred
thousand dollars. The steamship Lodona, oil
New York, we already know, was the victim
of its violence, and our telegraphic columns
report many vessels disabled.
| On the morning of the oath second cy
clone, which has but just died away, was
discovered and reported, which in forty eigh
| hours verified the probabilities of the Sigma
| Office in fierce visitation of the South Allan
tic coast. AS predicted, its track lay ''mort
18th instant" The kilograms from Georgia
and Tennessee show that il has been seriou.
and severe storm. Thus, in the space of
few days, we have had the strongest evidence
of the wisdom and ability of our national
storm signal system. The wires bring us
information that the West India and Panama
telegraph cable has just been successfully laid
to the islands Of st. Lucia and Barbados
These latter are in the very centre Of that
region where the cyclone and hurricane are
generated, and by weather kilograms from
these islands daily (Which the energetic Chic
of the Signal Corps will doubtless soon OBJ
tain), we shall be advised Of the approaching
tempest before it has fairly started on its de-
structive course.
