The Grip. From till flections come teports of thu prevalence In tnlld though Irritating form of that cuiIouh dlseaso known at the grip, tfetanton Iihh all of It that theio b any demand for; but It seems to he at ItB height along tho New Kng land seaboard. In New lluven, Conn., for example, too pupils and fifty profeH soib connected with Yule university are icpoited 111 with It, the other cikcs in that city number several thousand. In cluding thirty phyHlclanH. in New York clt the number ot cuses In almoBt n ptopurtlou, though jhe deaths teportPd from It ate happll few. in 1891 in New York theie wete i"i4 deaths directly nseribable to grip, to smy nothing of the ihousunds of denthsi which came front diseases having origin In gtlp; thus fir thin year the teported total Is not In except, of sixty. Dr. John H. C'iosby, of the New York board of health, contributes to the Sua this bit of technical Infoi million; "In. lluenza Is an Infectious and contagious disease, due to the Inlluenza bacllluf. In enen of InlluonKa or gtlp this ot panlsm is present In all the n'cietlons of thu nose, throut and bionchtnl tubes.

The Fiench minister of xvar reasserts that theie Is a sectet dossier bearing on the Dieyfus ease, a dhulgence of which might endanger the safety of the state. This, he adds, xxill not be submitted to the coutt of cassation without assurances that its contents xxill be eatefully puatded. In simpler xxotds, the Fiench mllltaiy conspiracy Cares not show Its hand. A state xxhosc safety lests on secret exldenec, for gery, pei Jury and star chamber It lain had bettet not be safe at all. It had better not be. Contrasts. An Inteiesting eonti.ist belxxeen Ametican nnd Spanish methods ot laxx enfoi cement Is afforded by cm tent ex cuts In Santiago and Ilnx'ana. In the latter city, xihere theie Is a Span ish soldier for neatly every tesldent elxlllan, murdets ate of dally occur ence, the presence of American xxar shlps Is neces-saiy In the fetid hinbor and among nil the ciashlngs betxxeen aimed Cubans and armed Spanliuds theie Is no tecord of the arrest by Spanish oidet.s of Spanish Instigator, of tiouble. The men shot, xxounded or Incatcetated as a consequence of these streets feuds aie Cubans almost xxlth out exception. In Santiago, on the conttaiy, the law knoxxs absolutely no distinction as betxxeen taces or classes or persons. We quote t om a Santiago dispatch: "Geneial Wood lsBiiid a decree yes teidoy piohlbltinp the cariylns of xxcMpons of any kind In the city un der penalty of confiscation of the weapons nnd (he to txxenty dav.s' im piisonment at the pleasuie of the com mander of the department.

Hut the one class in this Instance repte sented laxx- xxhlle the other stood lor laxxlessiiess and beltxxeen these iex tiemes honest Ametleanlsm eliaxxs no lines ol compiotulse. It will be d..,icun tot the people in habiting out new dependencies to real ize that x bete the Ameilcan Hag go"s up It Itiauguiates the piinclplo of ab solute equality before the laxx. This Is u condition which they haxo no Im mediate means of eoinptehendlng be cause It Invohes an altogether novel expel lence. All classes, at the outsut, will tesent the Idea; but they will groxv into liking Ifand ultimately Into loxlng it It Is this Inculcation of the .saving gtaee of American democracy xxhlclt will build In these benighted regions the structuie ot a new nnd dm able civilization that will constitute In tho ents to bo tho croxvnlng gloiy ot Amer ican history. We gladly give s,paco this morning to an Instructive letter from Ptofessor Willis 1,, Moore, chief of the xxeather bureau, setting us right In matters of fact concerning the sex etc stoim of Nov. 27 In xvhleh the steamship "Pott land," nmonif otheis, xxent down off the New England coast. This letter establishes that the bureau forecast this storm accurately and suftlelently In adxnnco to afford ample xvarnlng to mariners, and the naturul Infetenco Is that to lack of conlldence In the Txarnlng mav be ascribed much of the destruction to life and propetty oc casioned by that great bloxv It Is needless to add that xxe am heartily glad the bureau Is guiltless of the chatge erroneously made against In In The Tribune of Dec. 2. May it never become less cfllctent. The icpott Is denied on authority that the peace commissions s aio to recelxe $100,000 .plete. Their pay Is estimated at 1150 u day, or about $20,000 each, and xxe doubt If any clean-mlnd-ed Ametican will begrudge them the money. Geneial Shatter explains that his m cently teported assertion to the effect that the Cubans aro no mote fit for self-government thun hell Is lit for a powder factory xxas made during n private com equation and that lti pub lication x'as unauthorized. He Is xxeh come to nil tho benefit of the explana tion. The csqir of Russia liHemlfi to vMt Slbeila next spring and study the con dition of conxlcts with n Mew to bet tering their condition xxherever pos sible. This Ifi n favorable Indication that the c7ar may have been In earnest In his recent efforts for the peace of the world. The announcement that "Coin" Har xey Is not xx diking on commission in his efforts to raise a Democratic cam paign fund will be pleasing to his friends. Judging fiom appearances, If Jlnrxey depended on cominlsslons In this case his calamities xvould soon bo reul. Calamity organs should make nolo of the announcement that pig lion nnd vteel rails are on thu il.e. Thej atu an unfailing barometer of trade. Agulnaldo will doubtless be peisuadcl that hit stocking is not big enouelt to hold that puise of $20,000,000 this Christ inus Geneial Meitltt gained n knowledge of the Philippines In ubdtlt three xveeks that Is at least tetnai liable.

NEWS AND COMMENT Ilex Dr H K Cat roll idltot ef thu Independent, and tin spicial coinmlssloa ei sent to Porto Illco u f. xx months ago by Pieslilent Mckinley to ascertain tho conditions prcxalent on that Island, his hi ought back hopeful lexs. He sas ho has no elltcct knowledge of the condition of tho Filipino, but that the inference made in the tepoit of the Hawaiian com mission that the Porto Itlcatis tire In capable of self-gox eminent alter this countrj has established a suitable toun ol government. Is Incorrect, and he eon slder a picsumptlious ow of the Jin xxallan commission to take, espcciallx in xiew of the fact that thex haxe presum able no knoxx ledge of the Porto lllcan Tho commlssloiioi to Potto llleo consldeis the nutlxes quite as capable In exerj pel licular to pox em themselxes as the In habitants of Hawaii He sas that the Porto lllcutis ate not sax-ages nor bai barous as some people think. Ho con fesses that there Is much Illiteiacj In thP Island, but saj s he bellcxes that by the adoption of the customs and Institution i of the Fnlted States the Island xxouhl soon oxercomei the dlllleult.x, and that exent uall.x tho Porto Rlcans would exldenco a capacitx to goxern themsphes equal to that of either the Cubans or tho Ha waiian's. Tho aspliatlons of the Poito IMo ins, ho decl.ues, are indlcathe of their machine a useful and et editable sinto of citizenship They are anxious for the Introduction of American customs and Institutions, as xxell as the adoption of the Hngllsh lnnpuage In place of Mto Spanish ns their tongue. Thev ate cllffei ent from the Cubans, he says, In that thev aio a peace-loving people Tho f let that theie is pr.ictlcallv no sjstem of reg istry In tho Island, anil that estates and properties are handed doxxn b common consent from generation to generation vlthntit litigation Is exldenco of their peaceable character and their terognltion of light oxet xxrong. It is an ungiaelous task to thtow cold xxater on unfounded enthusiasm but that Is what the Nexv York Sun docs In tho article xxlileh follows "Some 111 Intoitncd nexxspaper tcportcrs haxe started a story that Russia is preparing to offer in tills market an Issuo of bonds The only ground for tho storx Is th.it ceitalit bank eis In this city luixo been asked bj un known persons xx hither such an Issue could successfully bo made. From this to the actual offer of the bonds to the public Is a long step, the taking of xxhlclt is extremely ln.ptob.ible. Tint Russia desires to bonroxx money ftom out citizens is Indeed, quite Ukoh and It Is also likely that sho has authorized 'Inquiries to be made as to the disposition of our capital ists to lend It Sho needs to borroxv both lor military experses and for the comple tion of tho immensely cosllv and as xet unremuneratlvo trans-Siberian tailronl, ixhlch sho is constructing.

Thero seems to havo been no such winning, or no anticipation of a tempest from the point from which It Bptung. An occurrence like this, which had Its origin in tho east, while our meteorologists haxe their heads turned towards the west, Is not ci creditable to their scientific pre science. It is quite cxlclent that u majoritj of tho coistlng ships which weto caught nt seu in such lamentublo numbers xxould not haxo xentured out xxete It not for their dependence on lite nceuracy nnd foteslght of the xxeathei prophets, ullt this storm proxos coneltishely that for once the students ot It weto caught napping.

Thut tho weather bureau gaxo ample xvarnlng ot tho coming of this storm Is plainly shown by the clippings 1 lneloe, taken from at least 'JM ot like tenor. The storm did not come from tho rust, as stated, but developed In northern Min nesota on tho 23th of November. It was carelttlly watched In Its movement east xxard oxer tho Great Lakes, and on Sat urdav morning, the Kth, Its dangerous character xxas tcallzed It xvns on the morning or the Kth, xxhen weathet con ditions on the New L'liglnnd coast xxeto serene, that urgent warnings of the com ing of a sexeto stotm, coupled xxlth a forecast fot heavy snoxxs, xxere sent to exeiy port on the Atlantic coast front Vir ginia to F.e-poit, Maine Tho danger sig nals xxcriX fix Ins in the New Fngland ports nearly txxenty-fout hours before the storm's fury xxas felt.

Our records sboxv that this storm xxas mote xlolent than the one that caused the loss of the Poitlnnd, but this disaster xxns fresh In tho minds of ves-el musters and x esse oxxners, causing them to pay grert cr heed to the danger signals As a result thete xxas but little destiuctlon or life and propertx. Sexere storms ot the chaincter of thoso teferrcd to ate more easily fotecast than the less marked conditions that cause slight changes in tcmpirature and light rains and snoxxs. It Is a tact tint no decided cold xx txe or destruellxo stoim has passed across the country during the past four jcats without commerce nnl shipping being warned xxell In advance No West Indian luurlcane in the past fexv jears has moxed up oui Atlantic coast xxlthout danger signals being displaced txxenty-rour hours, or inoic.
