We'll, sir. and what do you think of
American
Without pretending to judge America ex
cathcdra, ! will sum up the impressions jot-
si~hown in this little volume, and reply to
the traditional question of tho Americans
When one thinks of what the Americans
have done in n hundred years of independent
life, it looks rs If nothing ought to be impos-
sible to them in tho future, considering the
inexhaustible resources at their disposition.
America has been doubling its population
every twenty-five years II immigration
continues at the same rate as it has hitherto,
hundred millions of inhabitants. II, during
that time, Europe makes progress only In the
arts and sciences, while the social condition
of its nations does not improve, she will be
to America what barbarisrn is to civilization.
While the HohenZollerns, the HApsburgs
and the Firebrandenburgs review their
troops; while her standing armies are cost
ing Europe more than 81, 200, 900, 600 a year,
in time of peace; whilst the European
debt IS more than SIS, 900, 200, 600, the Ameri-
can treasury at Washington, In spite of cor
ruption, which 1t is well known docs exist,
has a surplus of sGo,Ooo,Ooo. Whilst Euro
pean governments cudgel their wits to devise
means for meeting the expenses of absolute
monarchies, the Washington government Is

Tho House Tina. Jack Built.

Hundreds of people daily pass a little stone
house within a stones throw Of the ferry at
Astoria, l. l., but very few know its his
tory. 1t wus erected by the original John
Jacob Aston, 100 years ago, and its walls are
In as good condition today as when the stones
were first laid. 1t WINS here that the founder
OF the colossal Aston estate resided when he
traded with the Indians for furs. He owned
most OF the land now covered by the suburb
named after him. Those who improved the
property and assumed the taxes he allowed to
take as many acres as they could manage.
Some of Astoria's best families were thus
founded-Chicago Journal.

We offer no apology for devoting so much time
and attention to this much neglected class of
diseases, believing that no condition of human
lty is too wretched to merit the sympathy and
best services of the profession to which we be-
long, as many are innocent sufferers, and that
the physician who devotes himself
to relieving the afflicted and saving
them from worse than death, is no less a
~philanthrophist and a beneiactor to his race
plication excels IN any other b anch of his pro-
fession. And, fortunately for humanity the day
is dawning when the false philanthrophy that
condemned the victims of folly or crime, like
the lepers under the Jewish law to die uncared
for, has passed away.

Who may be suffering from the effects of youth
full follies or indiscretions, will do well to avail

THE WEST VIRGINIA MUDDLE.
How 1t Stands O-Day-Discord Among
Republican Senators.

Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
CHARLESTON, W. Va, Jan. 1.-The decision
OF the supreme court of West Virginia Saturday
afternoon, dismissing the writ of prohibition
and declaring that both the mandamus and in
junction against the secretary of state were
null and void, was anticipated. and the repub-
hcans are highly elated- The plain meaning is
that the courts have no control over election
returns in this state. The court declined, how
ever, to indicate its opinion on the merits Of
the case, as requested by counsel of Gen. Goff
While the republicans are jubilant the demo-
Gratis, however, claim to be perfectly satisfied
assleir course prevented a declaration Of the
gubernatorial election while a contest was
pending.
Now that the question of the Kanawha county
returns has been settled another arises in the
organization of the senate, which has, up to
this time, presented anything but promising
outlook to the republicans. Having failed to
organize at the outset they have been kept
busy to prevent the democrats doing SO. They
had no time to call caucus after the decision
OF the supreme court Saturday, and Senator
Snyder, being good chairman and the presi-
dent OF the republican caucus, would not call
one on Sunday, but made the call for to-day.
What they will do or have decided upon has
not yet transpired. There is evidently some
trouble, and Gen. Goff has been called upon to
pour oil on the troubled waters They are
afraid to trust either Carr or Minear, both re-
fuslng to go into caucus. Senators Scott, Max
WELL and Snyder are candidates for president.
and one of them will get it if il is possible to
get along without Carr or Minear, though Just
how that is to be done remains to be seen
senator Morris is spoken of as a compromise
This is the situation this morning, and unless
some nice work is done by one or the other
side to end the matter definitely some lively
times may be expected.

THAT DUPED DETECTIVE.
What is known About Kirby i'm Cbicas.


CHICAGO. Jan. a. Mr.. George Harvey, of
the firm of George Harvey & Co., of this city.
in whose Office the English detective mentioned
in the Buffalo story made his headquarters
while here, says that Kirby came here from
Montreal. His mail was addressed in care of
the firm named, he calling for it every two or
three days. He also wrote his letters at that
Office. He remained in Chicago about three
weeks. The last of November he sailed for
England, where he now is. Kirby has had an
adventurous history, and while, in Mr. Harvey's
opinion, he is not in the regular employ of
Scotland Yard, is just the man to be engaged
in work of that sort Kirby's family now live
in Ravenswood. Jas. Kirby, well known on the
board of trade, is his brother. Mr.. Harvey
gave the following account of Kirby's actions
in Chicago. with such bits of his history as
would indicate that he has been under special
employment by the London Times in gathering
evidence against Parnell:
1t was just after the publication of the
Murchison letter that Mr.. KIRBY presented him
self at our Office, No. 179 La Sale street, and
asked to be allowed to write and receive his let
ters there during a short stay in Chicago. /
had known him in Niagara. Canada, and COM
piled. He said he was in Chicago on business
connected with some western mines and would
leave for England to interest some capitalists
as soon as he could get things in shape. Some
times two or three days would pass without his
coming to the Office. But when he did come he
was busy, as letters and kilograms to him were
numerous. Kirby is Just the man to be in a
thing of this kind. Although of one of the best
families of Niagara, Canada, and possessing an
excellent reputation, have heard that he was
a spy during the civil war. On which side he
served do not know. He has held good posi-
tions in Canada, but for two or three wears he
has not, SO l understand, been doing any
thing"

AGAINST THE DISTRICT.
Decisions in Several Assessment Cases,

In the Court in General Term this morning
the decisions were made in several assessment
cases brought up by Messrs. Birney 4 Birney
to quash the attachments. The first was that
of Danenhower against the District, in which
Judge Montgomery delivered the opinion of
the court. Through an error the lot was
assessed for a much smaller amount than it
should have been assessed for, andan act allow
ing revision having been passed the Commits
sioners assumed to revise the assessment and
sent a bill for an increased amount The
question was whether the revision could be
sustained. The court said that there was
noting to indicate that the petitioner appeared
within thirty-six days after the approval of the
act for the revision Of his assessment Gas pro-
vided for in the act), and naturally he would
court held that the action of the District was
not revision but an attempt to levy a new as
sessment, and therefore the assessment was
Guashed.
Judge Montgomery announced similar deci-
sion in the case of Windsor ]. Ford against the
District.
In the case Of Schneider agt. the District
similar decision was made. Chief Justice
Bingham delivered the opinion of the court.
The court held that the Commissioners could
not include in the assessment items such as
were not in the original cost. They could not
assess for anything not embraced in the orig
inal.
He also decided the cases Of Bates agt. the

OPENING THE LANDTAG.
The Emperor Makes a Peaceful and
EncOuraging Speech

encouraging Speech.
BERLIN, Jan. 1.-THE landtag was opened
to-day. The emperor in his speech opening
the session declared that all foreign relations
of the country were friendly. He said that
during his recent visits TO friendly sovereigns
he gained the conviction that Germany might
confidently cherish the hope of peace. The
continued blessings Of peace are shown in
gratifying manner by the improved economic
situation of artisans. The financial position of
the country is satisfactory. An increase Of
zoo, 900 600 marks in the savings banks has
proved that trade has improved. The salts
factory character of the finances has enabled
the government to further reduce taxation.
Among the measures announced by the en-
peror to be introduced in the landtag are bills
to further increase the emoluments Of the
clergy of all denominations, to improve the
position Of teachers in the national elementary
schools, and for regulating the stamp tax.
Having regard for the admittedly satisfactory
results OF the developments of the railways,
the assignment of extraordinary resources to
furthsr-sxtend them will be asked for. A
credit will be asked for the relief of the suffer-
ers by the flood in 1885,
A measure will be introduced dealing with
