WAS HE A HERO?

The enterprise of the New York
Herald in sending one of its European
attaches to Hamburg to test the efficacy
of Pasteur's theory OF inocculating
against cholera may bear fruit of the
greatest scientific and humanitarian
value.
II looked very much like running a
very serious risk of merely sacrificing
another life when Mr.. Stanhope went to
Hamburg and made every possible ef-
fort TO contract the disease that has
swept not less than half million peo-
pie off the earth during the past few
months. The public knew but very
little about the probable value OF the
scientific prevention that was to be
tested, but it knew all about the deadly
nature of the scourge.
Stanhope, however, escaped un-
touched, after tempting the destroyer in
every form and under all possible cir
cumstances. He exposed himself in
every way, took every possible risk and
returned 10 Paris unharmed.
While it can scarcely be held that one
test case, even of the thorough and con-
vincing nature of this, proves absolutely
that cholera can be warded off as small
pox is now prevented, by vaccination,
it certainly must be admitted that the
experience of Stanhope goes very long
way in that direction.
This exploit of the Herald man was
a very brave one. 1t ranks with the
great deeds that have made mems names
known for all time. 1t was an enter
prising and creditable thing for the
Herald to conceive and execute, but it
required of the man who went TO Ham
burg and faced the grim spectre of
Plague courage of very high order.
No mere desire to do striking piece of
newspaper work could induce a man to
throw himself thus cody and deliber-
ately into the jaws of loathsome death,
and the man who did it must be cred
tied with motive such as actuates
martyrs and heroes

COLUMBUS IN GOTHAM.

NEW YORK, Oct. l0-Nsw York is
heartily sick Of Christofero Colon, only 1t
doesn't dare "let on" on account of the
strangers within her gates. The strang,,
may buy something before they go home.
Anyhow. they will have to pay for their
keep while here. So New York simu-
lates interest very cleverly. New York
will feel the disgrace keenly IL the
stranger carries any OF that money home
with him.
There Is bunting EVERYWHERE. most pro-
always is. The finest displays are made
by business houses along the line of
march, facing the parks, and on Broad
way and Fifth avenue, and OF course on
the City Hall.

aud uncertain eyes could detect, only

of SAINT Iago and gay with Italia's tri-
color. They flame from every vantage

leaves of the RHODE ISLAND valleys.

Most of the houses on the avenue have

have them, TO get money TO send the pas

II has been observed time out of mind
that the American people take their
pleasures sadly, like the islanders Of
green England from whom our parent
stock was mainly derived. That the
observation was true when first minted
there can be no doubt, but it has been
repeated far past the time when it
should have been forgotten.
A better proof of this could not be
sought than the Columbian spectacle
now under way in New York. Any
one visiting the city, seeing its throngs
of gay, chatting people with their
bright raiment, its bands of music, its
bewildering, futtering, festive stream
ers, would scarcely call the sight sad
one. II he viewed the parade, saw the
''floats" and witnessed the festivities
which will turn night into day, he would
be forgiven if he took New York for a
Latin or Celtic city, as indeed it is in
great part, and likened its aspect to that
of st. Louis during the Yelled Prophet
rites, New Orleans at Mardi Grss, or
even Rome in carnival time.
The admixture of races which have
gone to make up our diverse nationality
has something to do with this increase
of the art of making merry.
Material prosperity has done far
more. We no longer stand face
to face with gloomy forests and
threatening foes. as in the colonial
period, nor are we harassed by long wars
or by the dark shadow of privation and
material suffering, as in the free trade
epoch before the civil war. That, too,
the mightiest spasm of our national life
is overpast, and the freed and united
nation faces confident future.
More than all else, however, the spirit
of JOY is due to the Zeitgeist, the altered
temper of the time. England, our old
home, was never merrier than she is
row when occasion offers. Duty and
enjoyment are found not inconsistent,
and dour looks are no longer associated
either with virtue or wisdom. The re-
action is as strong in New England as
in any part of the country. Within
limits, il is good thing; but we should
all be sorry indeed, were it to weaken
by the least degree of difference the
stern, strong stuff of which our nation
is made. We should hold fast to all
that was good in the old spirit and ac.
cept in the new nothing that is not good
or wholesome.

BUSINESS.

The general course of business
throughout the country, as reported by
the commercial agencies, continues to
improve, as it has been for several
months steadily improving.
There is not as yet a boom, but there
need not be very much more improve
ment iE conditions and transactions to
bring a boom to our doors.
The Improvement of general business
in the South, the healthy reaction
following the slump in the inflated
"boom" land and manufacturing
schemes, is one of the most encouraging
and healthy signs of the times.
There is nothing to cause the slight
est disturbance regarding the business
situation. The stock market continues
dull, and in the hands of the prGfes-
sional traders, but prices for good stocks
and securities have generally advanced,
and financial authorities appear to be
fairly well satisfied with the present
condition and outlook of the market.
That there is no wild rush of the gen
eral investing public for stocks is a
cause for congratulation rather than ap.
prehension, as promiscuous rush for
speculative stocks indicates lack of
opportunity for the profitable employ
ment of capital in business more con-
structive in its nature.
On the whole there is just cause to
feel very well satisfied with the condi-
ton of the business of the country.
