Cholera has again broken out In the East. The Mecca pilgrims are experiencing a severe visitation. Constantinople is alarmed. St. Petersburg reports twenty-tw- o cases, thirteen of them fatal, in one locality, while in others there have been some hundreds of cases, with a proportionate number of deaths. The eleven thousand pilgrims had come from all quarters of the world, and as at the end of their visit they scattered to their homes, there is no telling where the disease will end. Among the pilgrims there are always many who turn their faces toward America, and who may, in their clothing or other effects, bring cholera germs to our shores. It is not unusual for this disease to bVeak out in Egypt and Turkey as well as Russia in the month of March. Cold and environment have little to do with the incipient stages. There are English troops quartered at Cairo, and English authorities are deeply concerned at the exposure of the soldiers to the epidemic. The rank and file are not fastidious about their associates, and the apprehension on the part of the government is not wdthout excellent foundation. An ounce of prevention is worth a great many pounds of cure, and as weather prophets tell us we are to have an exceedingly dry and hot summer, the quarantine authorities and health boards of this country should be on the alert that no suspected source of infection be permitted to enter our borders.
