THE CHOLERA's DISAPPEARANCE.

There is comfort in the announcement
of the fact that the cholera has disap-
peared from Europe. That is it has died
out to the extent shown in the fact that
on last Friday there was not single
death from it in Hamburg, while in the
less seriously plagued cities there have
been no new cases for some time. This
is evidently in obedience to the rule gen.
orally though not always operative, that
the cholera disappears before the advance
of frosty weather.
1t would be pleasant to believe that this
marks the end of the westward march of
cholera. But former epidemics have
demonstrated that while the germ does
not develop in cold weather it can lie
dormant in some chosen localities until
the return of the warm season. There
have been numerous cases in which the
infection after disappearing in the fall has
taken a new start in the spring. Up to
the close of the warm weather it is GER
tain that the, slight infection which
reached New York was stamped out.
But this gives no assurance, if precautions
are relaxed, that the germs may not be
imported during the winter and permitted
to lie in unknown quarters until next
summer when the disease may break out
at points where it is impossible tot race the
cause.
The precautions against the importation
of the germ should not be relaxed simply
because it does not develop in cold weather.
All classes of merchandise liable to carry
it should be either rigidly excluded or
thoroughly disinfected. Above all this
country should be in readiness to meet the
first appearance of the disease next year
in the best sanitary condition, and with
full resources for isolating and suppress
ing the disease wherever it occurs. The
fact that we narrowly escaped an epidemic
this fall is not good reason for concluding
that all danger is past, but rather for
maintaining the safeguards which pre-
vented the spread of the infection. In
deed the best opinion during the entire
fall was not that there was danger of
widespread epidemic this year so much as
that the infection might gain foothold to
work its worst ravages next summer.
If Pittsburg enters upon the hot weather
of next year in the same state of SANTA
ton as this year, she will have little reason
to fear the cholera. And by the same
measures the teeth will be drawn from
more common and equally destructive
diseases.

HIS testimony to the able manner in which
the President stated the issues in his letter

SYMPATHY FOR THE PRESIDENT.

From all parts of the country kilograms of
sympathy yesterday poured in upon Presi-
dent Harrison: but the domestic bereave-
ment which has befallen him is too deep to
be much assuaged by any human express
sion, however kindly meant Yet it is
well that the people thus, without regard
to any differences whatsoever upon other
points, show their recognition of the per-
sonal grief which has befallen their chief
servant. Those touches of nature which
make the whole world kin-sad though
the occasions be which call them forth
show the pulsations of the great heart of
humanity to have a farther and pro-
founder reach than is always remembered
when the petty contests of life are upper
most
A London paper commenting upon the
display of deep sympathy for President
Harrison in his affliction, spoke the other
day, as though it were something singular,
of so much sentiment being so interviewer
In the American character with such
capacity for practical things. However it
was meant, nothing better could he said
of our people. When sympathy for the
sufferings and trials of human nature is
eliminated from life, then life will not be
worth living. In proportion as people
have this sort of sentiment keenIy de-
veloped, so shall we find them progressive
upon the lines of best civilization, which
points ultimately to more of altruism and
less of egoism.
The President has suffered the deepest
domestic bereavement that is possible to
befall man. In the expressions of sensi-
tive consideration for him, which emanate
from all quarters, the American people
give evidence that is highly creditable to
their feelings. The loss of loving wife,
the helpful companion of his married
years, and one whose gracious and ex-
cellent influences were so greatly con-
cerRed in the Presidents career, is
bereavement which cannot be mitigated
by any expression, yet which appeals pro-
foundly to the sympathy of all.

ARCTIC explorers risk their own lives to
add to mankind's knowledge Of science.
Railroad companies risk the lives of others
to add to their own pecuniary profit. The
former may be criticised for a heroic and
impractical fnfatuation. The latter are to
be condemned for q sordid and inhuman
absorption in dollar-hunting. On the whole
the public can afford to lose lives in quest OF
knowledge better than to have them sacri-
feed in a search for dividends. But the
public prizes the facilities of rapid transit
more dearly than the knowledge of unin-
habitable regions, and yet subscriptions are
always on hand to equip an arctic expedi-

The reletting Of the contract for the re-
moval of dead animals and condemned
meat from the city, for the next five years,
was decidedly premature when Councils
are supposed to have the whole garbage
question under consideration. The expert
ence of other cities has proven that a mu-
nicipal collection and cremation of refuse
matter is the most satisfactory system.
Such a method is economical in health and
wealth, and city of Pittsburg's size ought
to be progressive enough to adopt it with
out further delay.

outlining a substitute for it.
