naval demonstration on the coast of Zanzi-
bar is another sign of Prince Bsmarck's
activity in colonial ventures. At the outset he
disclaimed any intention of increasing the
responsibilities Of the German Empire. He was
willing to encourage mercantile enterprise and
to provide foreign markets for the industries
which he was promoting by the policy of pro-
lection. He expected to grant charters to
trading companies and he promised to support
the settlements made by German colonists with
subsidies to steamship lines and displays of
naval force. He supposed that private enter
prise could ID depended upon beth for the
establishment and the government Of colonies
and settlements. But it was not long before he
discovered that he had organized popular
movement and that Germans favored the
extension of their maritime empire. Within

While the spread of cholera in Spain and the
south of France shows the necessity FOR unre-
mittng vigilance on the part of our health au-
tborities, there is no ground for any serious
alarm ms yet. DIR. Hamilton. the surgeon general,
points out the umpossbility of n cholera case
being brought in a latent condition from Europe
here. and this is a sufficient answer to all such
sensational reports as that OF an alleged
death of a newly-arriyed emigrant from the
disease in Camden, n. j. The modern :" grey
hound ocean steamers may develop even a
higher speed than they have yet attained. but
there is not the least danger that they VIII
ever make the passage so quickly that a person
having contracted the disease in Europe can
pass quarantine on this side and Land before 1t
develops itself The incubation of the cholera
germ ia exceedingly rapid. During the
prevalence of the disease in epidemic form
deaths have been known to occur in half an
hour from the time of seizure. Five days Is
the longest period of incubation known, and
the average time is not more than twenty four
hours.
DIR. Hamilton is also Of opinion that we have
only to fear the importation Of the disease from
Cuba and England. aud practically the danger
is most from the former place England can
be relied on to take the most energetic meas
ures for her own protection, and unless the dis
ease is brought over III clothing or some other
passive medium, it is hardly possible for it to
escape quarantine. As yet, moreover, it has
been confined to the countries which it ravaged
last year. In France 1t has not spread far out
side of Marsces, and fit can be kept to its orig
inal ground this year may not bring any fresh
reasons for apprehension in the United States.
Ofcourse the presence of the disease, practically
uncontrolled, III the Spanish provinces is cal
culated to make the world uneasy, but hitherto
nothing has happened to justify distrust in our
ability to protect our ports against it by IN
cessant watchfulness and precaution, and so
long as our quarantine is strictly maintained
we may consider ourselves safe.

Railway travel in India has many curious
features. some of which are depicted elsewhere
in to-day's TRIBUNE. The Brahmins, who
objected TO the innovation on the ground that
pilgrims would travel by rail instead of on
foot are now using the new mode OF travel
themselves They even occupy the same cars
with ordinary mOrtals, and thus levelling
blow has been struck at caste assumptions. In
this way the railroad is of great social as well
as commercial Importance.
The great value of the fisheries in this State
is shown by Commissioner Blackfords report
of the catch of shad in the Hudson this year.
The wholesale value of the catch amounted to
Sl76,225. No doubt the work OF the Fish
Commission in restocking the rivers has
had an effect in increasing the supply. The
Commission has done good work In stocking
the waters of the State with other fish; but
Governor Hill in his anxiety to please 1.-THE
small taxpayers at the expense of the best
interests of the State vetoed part of the ap-
propriation made for the continuance Of that
work.
The forbearance of the Liberals and the en-
ergy displayed by the Ministry in the closing
weeks of the English Parliament are no doubt
rightly attributed to the near approach of the
elections. Neither party was willing to go be-
fore the voters with recent record of Imped-
ing or delaying necessary legislation. Hence
more was accomplished in a few weeks than
the previous Tory Ministry had accomplished
in years This affords strong argument in
favor of the American system of short sessions.
The SepteD nial Act permits English legisla-
tors to shirk their duties for years, without
the constituents being able effectively to show
their displcasure More frequent elections will
probably be one of the reforms that will ulti-
mately follow the enlargement of the fran
chise.
The English Free Traders naturally regard
with marked disfavor the appointment OF a
Government Commission to inquire into the
gloomy condition of English trade. Already
they are seeking to discredit the work OF
the commission. Despite this opposition the
commission has among its membership some able
men, who will doubtless endsavor to ascertain
just why 1t is that the farmers mechanics and
manufacturers in Free Trade England are SC
much worse off than are those of other nations
which have rejected the Free-Trade dogmas
Such a prospect cannot be pleasing to men who
have been using this spccious theory in an
endeavor to get control of the valuable markets
of the United States. The prominence which
is given to the dismal condition Of business il
England by the appointment of this commits
sion is in itself an unpalatable thing for the
Free Traders.
