BERLIN, Nov. 23.-The bestowal by
Emperor William of the grand cross OF
the Order of the Red Eagle upon Prot.
Koch was gazetted tonight. This is the
first time this decoration has been be-
slowed upon any one who did o possess
preceding classes OF order. Though
there is confidence in the ultimate value
of Rocks discovery, public dispappoint-
ment over the immediate results of the
treatment grows daily. Prof. Koch's as
assistants and Others estimate that II 900
cases have already been treated, the
greater number of whom were suffering
exterior tuberculosis. and comparatively
few cases of tubercles on the lungs. Ex-
perts are beginning to concur In the opin-
ion that the cure of this disease is uneer-
tain. Prof. Koch blames the press for
raising exaggerated hopes of instant
benefit in every form of tuberculosis.
Many physicians are expressing opinions.
Some say the possibility of the cure Of
lupus alone has been proved but not sci
entifically established. Lupus arises from
the same bacillus associated with lung
tubercles. DIR. Ullman, an eminent au-
thority on bacteria, says it will take fully
a year of frequent injections besiGes treat
ment under the right sanitary condition
to enable one to form a reliable OPTION as
to its durability.
Opinions expressed by others are varied
but nearly all advise conservatism until
further experiments make more positive
the effects of the remedy.

WHY SO SILENT, STANLEY.
The Explorers raciturnity as to His Trip
Causing Unfavorable Comment.

I1ONDON, Feb. People are asking.
and il is inevitable that they should
ask, why this silence concerning the
expedition Of Stanley still continues.
The explorer himself is understood to
be in fairly good health and mus, know
how impatient is the reading world to
learn what gains science has made
from the costly trip to the general
public. to most of whom the narrative
will he more fascinating than the most
highly wrought novel. Perhaps Mr.
Stanley is bound to submit everything
intended for print to the king of the
Iieigians, or Mackinnon, OF the East
African company. or possibly the pub
fishers OF his prospective volume have
insisted that his tale go forth to the
public fresh from their presses, but
there are plenty OF disconnected Incl
dents which would crafty reading peo-
pie Of all classes, and would advert ise
the Forthcoming work by stimulating
pub", curiosity. II Emin to be for
ever dumb? Is his pen forbidden him
too! He has surely had provocation
enough, and u DENIAL OF Stanley's as
sertions concerning him has been ex-
pected for some weeks. Among the
members Of Stanley's party are sew
eral intelligent white men who do no;
seem to dare to give any account OF
their adventures, unless to their near

CRIMES AGAINST CRIMINALS.
Col. r. @. Ingersoll Before the New York
Bar Association.

Col. II. q. Ingersoll, before an audi
ence OF 5000 persons, on Jan. 2I de-
livered the annual address before the
New York Bar association, his subject
being Grimes Against Criminals" In
the course OF his address he said:
Crimes were committed TO punish
crimes, and crimes were committed to
prevent crime. The world has been
filled with prisons and dungeons. with
chains and whips, with crosses and
gibbets, with thumb-screws and racks.
with hangmen and headsmen-and vet
these frightful means and instrumen-
talities and crimes have accomplished
little Tor the preservation OF property
or life. Ii is safe to say that govern
ments have committed far more crimes
than they have prevented
The world has thoroughly tried con-
iiscation, degradation, Imprisonment,
torture and death. and thus far the
world has failed.
There is no reformation in degrada-
tion. To mutilate "a criminal is to
say to all the world that he is a Grim
NAL and to render his reformation
substantially impossible.
II there any remedy? Can ANYTHING
be done for the reformation of the
criminal? lie should be treated with
kindness. Every right should be given
him consistent with the safety of So
ciety. He should neither he degraded
nor robbed. The state should set the
highest and noblest example. The
powerful should never he cruel, and in
he breast oi the supreme there should
he no desire Tor revenge. \ man in a
moment of want steals the property
OF another, and he is sent 10 he peni-
tentiary. Why should the state take
without compensation the labor of
these men; and why should they, after
having been imprisoned for years, be
turned out without any means of sup
port? Would it not he far more econ
omical to pay these men for their
labor, to lay aside their earnings from
day to day. from month to month,
and from year to year-to put this
money at interest, so that when the
convict is released after five years i'm
prisOnment he will have several hun
dred dollars Of his Own-nOt merely
money enough to pay his way back to
the place from which he was sent. but
enough to make it possible for him to
begin business on his own account,
enough to keep the wolf OF crime from
the door of his heart?
There are, however, men who pursue
crime as "a vocation-as u profession
men who have been convicted again
and again, and who will persist in using
the liberty of intervals to prey upon
the rights of others. What shall be
done with these men and women? Put
one thousand hardened thieves on an
island-compel them to produce what
they eat and use-and I am almost
certain that large majority would be
opposed to theft. Such community
would be -elf-supporting. Let women
OF the same class beput 10y themselves.
Keep the sexes absolutely apart.
Those who are beyond the power OF
reformation should not have the lib-
erty tn Reproduce themselves. They
should dwell apart and, dying, should
leave no heirs.

Geology Of the National Park.

Arnold Hague. in an address befor,
the American Institute OF Mining En-
gineers. speaks thus of the geological
history OF the National Park:
"Throushout the tertiary time the
history was characterized by great
volcanic activity. Within very recent
times there is no evidence of any con.
siderable outbursi indeed, the region
may be considered long since extinct
The volcanic rocks present wide
ranre in chemical and mineral compo-
sition aud physical structure. but may
all he classed in the groups, following
one another in the order named-an-
desites, rhyolites and basalts. Since
the close OF the ice period no geological
events of any moment have brought
about any changes in the history OF
the region other than those produced
by the direct action of steam and
thermal waters. lndicat ions of fresh
lava flows within historical times are
wholly wanting All our observations
point in one direction, and lead to the
theory that the cause of the high tenn
perature of tn" geysers and h Ut springs
must b- found in the rocks below. and
that the origin of the heat is i'm some
way associated with the source OF vol
came agency. But it does not follow
that the waters themselves are derived
from any deep-seated source; on the
contrary. investigate tends to show
that the waters brought up by the
springs are mainly surface waters,
which have percolated downward n
sufficient distance to he heated by
large volumes ot steam ascending
through tis~ures and vents from much
greater depths. The existence OF such
currents oi steam and hot water is
attested 10y the decomposltions they
have effected upon the rocks, which
have proceeded on n most gigantic
scale, and they have left an indslbe
impression upon the surface of the
country. The study of the age of the
present geysers by observation of the
rate of deposit OF cinder indicates a
great antiquity for them-over 25,OOO
years for cold Faithful" Our accu-
rate knowledge of them only began
IN 1871. The number of geysers. hot
springs, mud pots and paint pots
scattered over the park exceeds 81
900. and the addition Oi the fuma-
roles and soliataras would make the
whole number of actual vents double

Carter on Montana Labor.

The following is an extract from
Congressman Carter's address before
the ways and means committee of the
house on the lead tariff question:
IL venture to say before this com
mittee that there is not man work
Ing in that country, who has family,
who has not a laudabie ambition to
see his home well kept, his wife neatly
dressed. and his children provided
with all the facilities for education and
refinement that cluster about anv
home. These men receiving SO. 30 per
day I'VE viii assume that average,
which believe Is cOrrectl are enabled
at the wages thus furnished to indulge
s.ch ambitions. Butte City, Mon
tana, is one OF the most thriving COM
munities on the face of the earth.
You will find there "a class of men as
well fed, as well clothed. as well be-
haved, and as intelligent on an aver
age, as in any country in the world
Now we are asked by our worthy
friend from New Jersey to subscribe to
n theory or proposition through which
the miners i'm that country will be
brought in direct competition with
men whose wants are supplied and
whose ambitions are satisfied on 81
cents a day. The Republic OF Mexico
has "a population OF about IL, ,OOO, 900.
] believe. That population is divided
into two distinct elements blendin.
here and there, it is true. but as fact
about 1O,OOO,OOO of the population
of Mexico is of a half-breed or mon
erel character. About 3,OOO.OOO OF
the population of That country claim
connection. without any pollution of
blood, with the Latin race. These
people seem well satisfied. with the
iriiling compensation paid them, but
our people cannot assent to similar
conditions"
