Protection of Antiquities in Germany.

Protection of Antiquities I'm Germany.
The Prussian minister of public in
struction has issued circular to provin-
cial authorities asking their best CO.
operation in the preservation of ancient
tombs, barrows, ETC., existing in the
country. The order states: @The exca-
vation of moul s, burial sites, and sites
of settlements referring to the Roman
and Pagan times is often carried on for
purely selfish purposes. The injury suf-
fered by science, which is interested in
preserving these witnesses of the distant
past, is out of all proportion to the ma
terial value of the finds in some cases.
Objects of this kind, il they are at all
valuable. would be gladly purchased by
the state of provincial museums or scien-
tific associations, and in most cases at
higher pricesghan are paid by dealers.
$50 far as the laws secure the preser-
vation of monuments which are public
property, the cordial cooperation Of
state and ecclesiastical authorities will
serve to prevent the plundering of OBJ
jects found in urns, metal, glass, etc.
Private owners are, of course, unre-
stricted in their disposal of monuments
in their possession, but the scientific as
sociations existing in all provinces will
often be able to convince them with sue
cess of the interest which is associated
with ancient abodes Of civilization, and
of the desirability, in their own personal
interest. of seeking the advice of experts
in carrying on excavations on their pri-
vatc property. Foreign Letter.

From the phl1 Medical Record9
We do not mean TO intimate that all the
so-ealied remedies for dyspepsia are value
Less, but human credulity is so strong,
that some nnscrupul0us persons trade up-
on the fears Of the weak and debilItated.
Among the things which appeal so strong
~ TO this weakness are Bitlers.N The very
name Is In their favor. The mode OF life
OF the average American is OF such .
character, that he is constantly in need OF q
tonic. Hels rushed at his business, swsil-
lows his meals hastily and without any
thought as to the capacity OF his stomach
for digestion. takes little rest, and neces-
sariiy feels hipped; is subject to headache.
and takes often a gloomy view OF things
generally. In such cases he resorts TO Bit
ters, under the delusi0n that they will act
on the secreti0ns Of the stomach and give
the system new strength and energy. The
writer recently purchased samples of fouE
of the most widely -Rd vertised hitters in the
market, and the simple chemical analysis
10 which they were subjected showed
that they contained about so per cent.
(the amount the Government allowsl OF
the most poisonous and adnlterated alco-
hJl, and that the resdnum consisted OF
various foreign substances. which were
simply added as fiavoring extracts, to dis
guise the taste OF the original compound.
The poorer the grade OF the alcohol the
more vicious is the compound. The value
which so-called bitters are supposed to
have IL of purely fictitious character.
In fact, in time they jrritate and injure
the delicate membrane of the stomach
and so vitiate the taste that the palate
soon cannot distinguish between good and
bad These decoctions are consumed
principally by the debilitated, the conval-
escent, the depressed and particularly by
aged people and weak women and others
to whom n stimulant is indispensable.
Now. while alcohol. especially in the form
OF whiskey, is acknowledged to be the
best known stimulant. and IS prescribed
and used by physicians for this purpose
everywhere, we can't conceive why people
wiii insist upon taking the alcohol In the
form of y decoction, the compounding Of

riol, catechu and poisons of the most
deadly kind. II wonld be far better Tor

article, something made from malt In
which there is no fusel oil. There may be
little difficulty in obtaining an article of
this kind. as there is OILY one firm In the

malt whiskey, which distils Ii and which
combines food and stimulating qualities.

The Frozen North.


Lieut.. Greelv, during his English
journey, has reiterated some Of the
views expressed by him in Montreal at
the meeting of the British Association.
He believes that the American theory of
an open polar sea, pronounced by the
last British expedition to be untenable,
is well founded. He bases this belief
upon the continuous drift Of the Arctic
pack northward which he observed
during his two winters at Fort Conger.
He considers this rs prima-facie evi-
dence of the existence i'm higher lati-
tudes Of body of water. possibly 1,500
miles in diameter, which is 50 con-
tinually agitatcd by the movement Of
tides and currents that il never freezes.
The ice-b0und tvoyage of the Jeannette
for 1,J00 miles and the observations Of
Nordenskj0ld in winter quarters in
Siberia tend, in his Judgment, to con-
firm this conclusion. That this open
sea is accessible by ship he does not be-
lieve, since its edges for distance of
fifty miles are walled in by an impene-
trable barrier Of ice. Still, he considers
II impossible to account for the extra
ordinary movement of the polar pack
without assuming that there is an open
basin into which it is drawn BY currents
and tides. The North Pole he does not
believe will ever be. reached. since the
locality Of which it is the centre Is in a
large degree handicapped with ice sew
eral thousand feet IN thickness Appar-
emily reflection has only decpened the
convictions expressed by Lieut.. Greely
in Montreal He remembers the fertile
valleys which he found in the heart OF
Grinnell Land. walled in north and
south by immense ice-caps. and he con-
ceiyes Of the open polar sea as existing
under analogous conditions with an inn
penetrable barrier of ice on the southern
border and great ice-cap ekiEting Tue
northern edge and surrounding The pole.

THE DANGER Is PAST.

The fifty-seventh anniversary of the
declaration OF Greek independence was
celebrated throughout that kingdom yes
terday, and still there were observable no
demonstrations that could be construed
into determination to force war with
Turkey, or that could be looked upon as
evidence of great discomfort at the de-
cision of the Powers which makes Prince
Alexander Governor of Roumelia for the
next five years. Indeed, the dispatches
represent that the Bulgarian Prince has
yielded to the Powers, and the Greek
King and Ministers have so far evinced
their satisfaction with matters as they
stand as to order the discontinuance of
war preparations.
After all, it seems impossible that
Greece should have seriously contem
plated entering upon a war with Turkey
unless, indeed, such assurances of
assistance have been made by other
Powers as to make King George confident
OF q successful outcome. Left to them
selves, a war between Greece and Turkey
could have but one result, and that would
show the Turk on top, and very likely in
possession of Athens.
1t is to be hoped that the pugnacious
Greeks will now subside for a while, and
give all Europe chance to recover from
the fright which they have recently ex-
perienced.

THE LATEST EPIsTLE.

In general conference assembled, the
Saints at Provo yesterday listened to the
reading of lengthy epistle of the First
Presidency of the Church-at least, it is
presumed they listened to it, though
there is really nothing in the document
itself, outside of its Munchausenisms, to
forbid the supposition that they listened
to only the opening sentences, and then,
succumbing to their overpowering sopo-
rife influence, went fast asleep and
even fell to snoring:
The signatures attached to this epistle
are those of John Taylor and George @.
Cannon-two fugitives from justice. 1t
is the same old song over again-stPerse-
cution for our religions sake!" Sub
mitted to analysis, its contents are found
to be scarcely a grain of fair state
ment or a trace of truth to unlim
tied quantities of misstatement and
innumerable barefaced lies, such even
as Annanias of old would not have been
ashamed to father. From first to last it
is deliberate misstatement of nearly all
the matters it purports to treat, and
winds up with an appeal to the religious
passions and prejudices of the deluded
masses, to stand firm in their faith and
"keep sacred the covenants we have
made with God and each other" even
though the penitentiary be their earthly
reward for SO doing. All this, of course,
is very tough on the Almighty, but from
time immemorial His name has been
so extensively used as cover for nasti-
ness and crime that perhaps he no longer
pays any attention to it.
The only effect this epistle can possibly
have on the Mormon people will be to
their feelings of hatred toward
the Government, toward the officials en-
trusted with the duty of enforcing the
laws here, and toward every American in
Utah and everything that smacks of
1t is high time the Gov
took cognizance of the situation
in Utah as it really exists, and settled
the whole business by throttling the
Church vampire that sucks the life-blood |
Of the State and hurls its treason and |
f1aunts its nastiness in the face of loyal |
citizens.

THAT COLONIZATION SCHEME.

The Pioche Record is afraid that the
Mormons are fixing up a scheme to re-
move over the line into Nevada in such
numbers as to enable them to secure
political control of that State. Says the
Record:
The report which has been going the
rounds of the press lately as to the 'sMor-
mon policy of populating Nevada by its un-
washed and unterri6ed alien law-breakers.
carries % per cent of truth and per cent.
of sensational matter; for it is obvious to
any intelligent person in the country that
our Mormon friends, where one of their
plumber 1a is up for office, always pre-
tile. At tau mo- "Ii time in gGUa tSs ossf Gsa
however, has the priestIy and political fist
of the willy saint been SO apparent as at pre-
sent, for with the gradual depopulation of
our once hourlshing mining camps, and the
large influx during the past year of this
class of undesirable citizens, the leaders in
Salt Lake are not blind to the fact that if
they can secure the balance of power in this
State they can erect Sealing Temple" at
carson City, and then laugh at all the Ed
against their pet hobby, polygamy.
Inc record is needlessly alarmed. The
Saints have no particular anxiety to cul-
tlvate closer acquaintance with Nevada
men, or to place themselves under the
operation of Nevada laws, and as to Sc
curing the balance of power in that State,
the returns would never justify the out
lay of money and labor that would be re-
quired to accomplish it. The Saints are
experiencing pretty tough time in living
up to their religion in this Territory,
but it is safe to say they will never
Jump outof the frying-pan into the fire by
into Nevada, whose Legisla- i
5rre would doubtless take great pleasure
n enacting laws such as would make the
State very undesirable place of resi-
ience for them. The Record need have
10 fear Of an influx of Mormons into
Nevada.

GLOOMY DISPATCHES.

The special dispatches from Washing
ton in this mornings Tribune cannot be
regarded as especially encouraging to the
Gentlles OF Utah Their tenor denote
strong Mormon work and influence, if
not heavy Church sack at the Capital.
A gentleman who has just returned from
Washington says less is known outside
OF Congressional circles there in relation
to Utah matters than in Salt Lake City.
That being the case, it is probable that
the Tribune correspondents information
was not obtained from official sources.
The report that Speaker Carlisle would
never recognize the member who would
want to- place the Woodburn- -Edmunds
Dill on Its passage, may be regarded as
especially unworthy of credit. There is
nothing in the gentleman's career as pre-
siding officer of the House to war
rant such supposition. He has
never been accused of unfair
ness, or disposition to thwart
legislation by arbitrary exercise of par
iamentary powers, and it is not presum-
able that he would inaugurate change of
tactics by SO gross and palpable an abuse
OF his position upon measure against
which he has never indicated any violent
cppositiOn. The Mormon attorneys
wager that no bill against Mormon
lawlessness would leave any committee
this session, was doubtless a piece of
braggadocio designed to discourage the |
friends of anii-Mormon legislation. Mr..
Carllsle's assertion that Governor West
would execute the laws fairly but with /
out persecution, had it come from a |
Mormon would be susceptible to a more
than doubtful meaning. The Mormons /
regard the punishment of their crimes |
by law the acme of oppression, but Mr.. /
Carlisle, not being Mormon nor |
Mormon sympathizer, no such |
construction can be reasonably given to
his language. 1t was based doubtless upon
the report circulated by the Mormons at
Washington that the laws were not en-
forced against the Gentiles in Utah as
against the Saints If this were true there
would be just ground for complaint
by the latter. Governor West will ascer
tain the truth or falsity of the charge
upon his arrival here, and should he find
that such discrimination is made-which.
however, he will MOTT would be his duty
to exercise his Executive power for its
suppression. That the Mormons are
making death struggle to prevent hos
tile legislation and that they have secured

In THE SENATE YESTERDAY.
The Emigration of COlOred Citi-

Under Discussion.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Plumb presented a
petition of the Association Of Colored Citi-
zens of Kansas, praying for assistance to
emigrate to Africa, with view of their
building up another United States Republic.
Plumb said he understood there was a
strong determination on the part of the
petitioners to carry out the emigration
referred to. The petition was referred.
Blair reported favorably without amend.
ment from the Committee on Education and
Labor the arbitration bill recently passed
by the House of Representatives.
The consideration of the army bill was
resumed, and Mr.. Logan spoke in favor of
Mr.. Hale opposed the bill. He referred
incidentally to some remarks made in the
opening of the discussion on this bill. which
remarks he said had been interpreted, as
the discussion had shown, as referring to
outside influence in opposition to the bill.
He (Mr. Hale) had not heard the remarks,
and was very glad the Senator from Illinois
(Mr. Logan had stated freely and friendly
and Mr. Hale accepted the statement as
entirely satisfactory-that he had no refer
ence to any outside influence. Mr.. Hale
then argued at length against the bill.
MIR. Manderson supported the bill. He
called attention to the Indian frontier, and
the danger of conflict there at any time.
Every Indian, he said, had good Winchester
rifles. 1t was only a question of time. and
probably a short time, when there would
be trouble with Red Cloud and his war
riors.
Mr.. Teller expressed his conviction that
there never was time in our history when
SO little danger was to be apprehended from
Indian troubles as now. It was therefore
absolute folly to talk of increasing the army

Coal in the Arctic Regions

Commenting on Lieut.. Greelv's dis
covery of coal within the Arctic circle in
Greenland, Mr.. w. NJ Williams express
es himself as dissatisfied with the pre-
valling notion which demands a subtrop-
ical climate for the formation of carbon
lierous deposits. He has himself de-
scribed the deposition of coal that is in
actual progress at the present time in
Norway, within degrees of the Arctic
circle, and believes that similar deposits
may be found much further north. No
very violent alteration of climate, there
tore, need be assumed to explain the
Greenland coal.
