TWELVE PAGES
HAMBURG's SAD PLIGHT.

A more appalling state of desOlation can
hardly be imagined than that depicted in
the cablegram received from the special
correspondent of THE DISPATCH in Ham,
burg. The abject misery so graphically
described is the more impressive by its
contrast to the mirth which is usually
prevalent in that city at this season. Sad
as the portrayal is, and awful as are the
horrors related, the minds eye cannot be
made to realize the terrible conditions at
this distance.
1t is evident that the epidemic has
passed beyond all control of the authori-
ties, who showed no adequate efficiency
even at its inception. The spread of the
disease indicates the ease with which it
lays hold of large areas when once it has
obtained foothold. With all this ter
rible warning before 1t this country must
hasten in its preparations for an attack.
1t is much to be regretted that the strong
measure of the prohibition of immigra-
ton has not been enforced in place
of a quarantine that must almost
of necessity leak sooner or later. So far,
the incoming cargoes of disease have been
confined to quarantine. The fact that the
scourge has not yet reached the main
land is matter for surprise no less than
thankfulness, and long continuance of
this immunity is not to be counted on.
Meanwhile, the breathing space of ex-
pectancy should be occupied to the fullest
extent in eradicating dirt and cultivating
cleanliness And such quarantine regula-
tions as have been authorized must be en-
forced to the utmost in lieu of the better
preventive of prohibition.

A DESTRUCTIVE CLAIM.

1t was to be expected from past expert
ence that those should arise who claim
that as Nancy Hanks first lowered the
record with pneumatic tire sulkey, and
then made her marvellous record of 2:05L
with the additional advantage of kite
shaped track, her record should not be
taken as beating those of Maud s and
Sunol.
There is no doubt that these remarkable
performances, supplemented by further
reduction Of the regulation track
record, were greatly aided by the
improved track and vehicle. 1t is pretty
well settled that the kite shaped track is
nearly two seconds faster than the oval
form, while the exact gain of speed from
pneumatic tires is yet unsettled But
what of that? The whole history of trot-
ting is marked by the adoption of appli-
ances for making speed possible. The
oval track was adopted because it was
faster than the circle. Sulkies came into
use early in the trotting era, because
horses could be driven faster than they
could be ridden under saddle. Nancy
Hanks has just as good title to her record
as Maud to hers, which was gained on
an oval track after that form had been
found to be better for speed than the cir
cle If records are to be shut out by
reason of improvements in tracks, harness
and vehicles, then we must wipe out all
the records and start de nouo with top bug
gies and country roads
As to the conviction of owners of fast
flyers that their horses are still the fastest,
they can easily settle that point by show
ing what their steeds can do with pneu-
matte sulkies on kite-shaped tracks.

NOT A GLOOMY SHOWING.

When the discharge of a. large number
Of laborers recently employed, we believe,
on a branch road in the interior of the
State, was attributed by an official of the
Pennsylvania Railroad to the slaekness of
railway traffic, it occasioned some dis
quiet among business men. A good many
people were inclined to see in it har-
binger of protracted dullness and to augur
gloomily for the prospects of trade.
A collection of statistics of trunk line
earnings made by the New York FSnan-
esdt Chronicle shows that there is no
foundation for the idea that railroad
traffic has undergone a serious diminu-
ton. The utmost that can be predicted of
the present slackness is that lull which
nearly always intervenes between crop
years. The returns of the gross earnings
of the trunk lines for the first half
of 1892 compared with the same por-
ton of the preceding three years
are reasuring rather than depressing
In effect and this is especially the case
with the Pennsylvania Railroad lines.
The gross earnings of the eastern lines Of
that system are about 500, 600 in excess of
those for the first half of 1890, which was
larger than for any other year by over
$500, 900. The western lines of the same
system are 81 ,2OO, 900 in excess of 1890, ST.
100000 more than in 1891 and 3, ,00O, 900
larger than IN 1889. This certainly does not
indicate slackness Of traffic The tale of
the net earnings is not so positive; but
they are about up to the average of the
lest four years on the eastern lines, with
$500, 900 of an increase on the western
lines.
The showing for all the trunk lines tells
the same story with little less emphasis.
The gross earnings for the first half of the
