Says
I'VE are already in October, and still
the eDiiemic marches steadily westward.
despite elaborate preca utioR aud supposed
sanitary perfection. Probably tho general
public does not gather Il clear idea ST
what Is happening from a glancs at the
telegrams announcing the occurrence of
few cases in Groduo and Odessa. These
do not sound more important than the dis
patches announcing the same condition of
affairs in Saratoff and Baku. All are some-
where In Russia, where cholera is an old
story.
Similarly the death of few lighter
men at Spandan, IN Germany. seems a
comparative trife. while ridngs of
places in Holland aud Belgium were only
to be expected. Even the Invasion of
Budapest: the capital of Hungary, will
not ait act mucn attention while its
effects are confined to their present mod
crate dimensions.
All The foregoing Will make little i'm
preston beside the news from Hamburg.
Paris. ST. Petersburg and Central and
Southern Russia that the disease is sub
siding daily. -et they are of omil,ous i'm
port. Tney S-nean that cholera is doing
just what it has always done formerly
creeping quietly Onward and sowing the
autumnal seeds in new ground over a
wide area. which will burst forth luxuri
ant with the advent of summer.
The news from Grodno means that
Western Russia right up to the lPrussian
border and beyond is infected; the news
from Odessa means that the seed is sown
in the Black Sea littoral and the
Danubian provinces; the news from
Budapest means that the isea-
tioa of Galicia was an utter
failure and that Austia and Hungary are
involved, while the news from Spandau
means that the WATERWAYS frl al Berlin to
the River Oder are infected. Scattered
cases of the disease in the Netherlands
tell the same tale.
If precedent is of any value all those
districts, and also Poland and France,
will break out into blaze In 1898. Chol-
era wilt knock at mauy doors. and woe
betide ii there Is crack anywhere
