another encouraging fact In regard TO the
cholera. Our freedom from 1t thus far" he
says proves that mono OF tho choleraic germs
introduced here last autumn lived through the
winter. as many experts believed they would
live" 1t is most excellent service that was
rendered to us by the keen frosts of the winter
months. 1t would seem that these frosts
which were sharp in Hamburg as we'll as in
New York. have destroyed the germs there Is
effectually as hero These germs were far
more menncing there than here. They wero
billions OF times more plentiful there than they
were here. where. indeed. they nevor really got
foothold. The frosts are useful.
The prospect now" says the Surgeon G en-
eral. is much better than expected it would
be ut this time" Dr. WYMAS Is not an alarm
ist and neither is DR.. JENKINS who however
stands on the outlook all the time, and will SO
stand until III frosts come again. 1t was not
until the end OF August of last year that the
first cases OF cholera wore brought to this
country.

Tho Pardon OF tho Haymarket Square
Anarchists.

II Governor ALTGEhD OF Illinois had good
and sufficient reasons for tho pardon OF
the three Chicago Anarchists. he would
hardly require seventeen thousand words
to explain and defend his act OF executive
clemency.
The reasons alleged by the Governor for
granting these pardons apply for the most
part with equal force to the cases Of the
four Anarchists who were hanged. and to the
case OF the fifth Anarchist. who escaped tho
gallows by suicide. That is to say. In setting
free ScHwAD. FIELDEN. and NEEBB. the
Governor OF Illinois impeaches the verdict

For other uses. the metal will retain only
its commercial value as bullion. like tin.
copper. lead. and iron.
With the effects Of the measure. we do not
see that anybody. besides the Government
and people Of India and the miners of silver.
has any immediate concern. The Indian
Government by fixing the value OF the
rupee at sixteen pence Is insured against
further loss In the collection Of its taxes. the
Indian railroad companies against similar
loss on fares and freights and salaried EN-
ployees paid in Indian currency against q
practical reduction OF their salaries. The
attaining Of these results was undoubtedly
the moving cause Of the measure. and
nobody can dispute their desirability.
As to the dimnution Of the exports Of
wheat from India to Great Britain In con-
sequence Of thus arresting the diminution
OF the value Of the rupee. which SO many
predict. there is no ground for expecting 1t.
Wheat Is exported from India TO London
not because Of its low price in India.
but because London is the best market
for it: and it will continue to be exported
thither 80 long as it brings there more than
the price in London will advance. and the
American wheat-grower thus be bene-
fted, is equally chimerical. India never
has supplied Great Britain with more
than one-tenth Of the wheat she con-
sumcs. and for the first five months
OF this year it has been able to send
thither only 9s0.a42 hundred weights
against 4.74z576 hundred weights for the
first five months OF 1892. India's impor-
tance as competitor in this respect with
this country has been ridiculously over
estimated. and is likely to become less
rather than greater.
That the measure will produce further
decline in the price OF bullion silver is quite
probable. and it would not DO surprising il
the metal sold at half dollar an ounce by the
time Congress meets. The decline will make
1t impossible for the advocates of free silver
coinage to continue their efforts with
any prospect OF success. and 1t will be
equally fatal to bimetallist projects OF
every kind. Already it is given out that
the Brussels Monetary Conference will not
meet again in the autumn. but will be dis
solved at once. 1t is probable that year
or two more will see the end OF the silver
craze all over the world. and the general
acqniescence OF civilized nations in gold
monometallism.
