The cholera circle is rapidly widening.
While the ravages Of the pestilence are steadily
increasing in Spain, cases being reported from
SO provinces and 576 towns there have been
serious outbreaks in France, Algeria. Southern
Russia and Tonquin. The number Of deaths in
Spain now exceeds 1000 in twenty -four hours,
with G,4OO new cases. The speedy appearance
of the disease in Cuba is TO be apprehended,
and then there may be serious ground for alarm
in the United States.
Notwithstanding the pretentious discoveries
of DR.. Koch and the experiments of a Spanish
charlatan In noculation it il to be doubted
whether the scientific world knows much more
about the precise nature and mode of propaga-
ton of cholera than it did in 1S49, when
America was devastated by its ravages. The
theory generally accepted at the present time
attributes the disease to the presence of animal
or vegetable germs, which find access to the
blood either by air, water or food or through
the pores of the skin. Professor Mezzeroff, in a
letter which is published or another page,
ridicules the hypothesis and contends that the
chief cause Of cholera is n poisonous gas ema-
mating from the eartn before and after earth
iuakes and volcanic eruptions. His arguments
are ingenious and forciblc; and he does not sue
cecu IN convincing us tnat MS own tneOry Is I'd
be received without serious reservations, he at
least places the advocates OF the germ hypoth-
esis upon the defensive.
But the sanitarians have made one fact plain,
namely, that whatever may be the origin of the
disease and the method by which its germs are
transported from infected localities, imperfect
sanitary conditions are essential for its devel-
Opment from secondary centres. Any town
having a pure water supply and an adequate
system of drainage is reasonably secure against
cholera. This has been the current belief In
England Tor many years aud it has been
confirmed by experience. That country has
had uninterrupted communication with India
where the disease prevails in its most virulent
form,yet the germs have not been introduced in
the seaports, which are invariably in excellent
sanitary condition. On the contrary, the
French and Italian cities where the mortality
was greatest last year have been among the
dirtiest in the Mediterranean basin and in Spain
there is general ignorance of sanitary science.
The international Sanitary Congress, which
met mt Rome three months ago, accepted this
principle almost without dissent, although
| there were serious divisions of opinion respect
ing the efficacy and best methods of quarantine.
The American delegates proposition that the
measures applicable to yellow fever and other

Middleton will not help the halfbreed's case,

such outrages as Father Andre describes were
committed. The troops sent to the Northwest

towns where their regiments were formed, and
to engage in theft and wantOn destruction OF
property would be unlike them. Doubtless the
Northwest suffered when Middleton's army
was there. The soldiers had to live. 1t was
hard. nay. often impossible, to get supplies to
them, and subsistence had to be levied on the
surrounding neighborhood. Moreover, the

acted simply ignoring the rash speaker and il the
other journals follow this precedent 1t will not take
long to make Lord Randolph realize that ho owes
what public standing he possesses mainly to tue
press and that the agency which has given can take
it away. The London press has before now
brought naughty and defiant pubIc men to their
bearings by the simple but nfalibIe process Of re-
fusng to report or publish their speeches in Para-
ment. There ia no man who can stand this studied
neglect, and least CT all man like Lord Randolph
Churchill who lives by and through sensationaism,
and to whom therefore publicity is as essential az
daily food. lie cannot afford to fight the press

or he will have to sacrifice all his aspirations. 1t
