BRAINS PROTECTED

No measure passed by congress in
recent years reflects such credit on the
country as we shall receive from all
the world for the copyright bill 1t
was bound TO come, but the agitation
for international copyright was begun
by Henry Clay some fifty years ago,
and his dream is realized at this late
day only after a protracted struggle
against the powers Of ignorance and
prejudice. Probably the worst feat
ure of the long reign Of literary piracy
and bTigandage has been its inimical
effects upon American authorship. Tn.
der its degrading intluenceunprincipled
men have appropriated all the choicest
works of European literature and
issued them in form so cheap and
fiimsy that they have been sold and
read and flung aside as so much rub
bish. Out Of this traffic the so-called
publishers, better known as piratical
reprinters, have made millions, and
through their unholy practices hun
dreds Of American authors have been
deprived of support, and sometimes
robbed Of bread for themselves and
little ones. The international copy
right law is, in fact, kind of eman-
cipation proclamation which will pro-
tect men who think as those who
make grAvestones are protected, and
will make it possible for an author to
live by his pen in this country. All
honor to the enlightened men who
have stood by this measure until it
was carried TO success. They are
mostly authors and literary men; may
they reap the first fruits of this
benifcient law.

THAT TRAMP PRINTER

All around the press has gone the
tale Of how Senator-elect Hansbrough,
Of North Dakota, was formerly a
tramp printer with but one shirt.
There is, however, another chapter tC
the tale OF that shirt, which is worth
telling Among the senator elects
early successes was his marriage to a
very rich wife, whose father was
grimly opposed to the match. The
old man persisted in his refusal to rec
ognize the tramp son-in-law, and
prophesied disaster to the imprudent
daughter: but the story goes that as
soon as Hansbrough was elected to the
senate, the old man signified his wish
for conference, buried the Ratchet
and slipped large-sized check into the
tramp senator's pocket.
This is great country, and the irate
parent should always bear in mind
that there is no telling when the light
nings of future are going to strike.

LYMPH REPORTS

The German government having ex-
acted official reports on the expert
ments with the Koch lymph, all the
hospitals in which it has been used
have formulated their results, and the
figures are certainly not so encourage
ing as has been hoped.
In the So hospitals reporting, Zip
patients have been treated and II, 500
injections made. OF 1,06l patients
treated for tuberculosis of the inter-
nal organs only 10 are reported cured,
III considerably improved, 1874 i'm
proved, $50 not improved and 46 dead.
OF patients with external tuberculosis
70S were treated, with 10 cured, l4S
considerably improved, 237 improved,
pos not improved and dead.
1t is TO be borne in mind. however,
that the German reports end with
1890 and cover but eight weeks. Many,
and indeed, most Of the ca SEES were
still under treatment when the re-
turns were sent in, and there is room
for a very satisfactory record of cures
from the lists Of those set down as
improved If the majority of them
are on the road to recovery and are to
be numbered among the "cured" in
later reports, the showing will be a
very fair one
These results are not better than
are attained by older forms of treat
ment, with carhoic medication, with
stimulation, with merely hygienic
treatment, and in other ways familiar
to physicians.
The numerous friends of DR.. Koch.
who forced the results of his expert
ments on the world. before his COM
pletion of them, and against his bet
ter judgment, see their mistake. From
the present results and incompleted
knowledge we must accept some
sharp notifications Of early concep-
tions concerning the lymph 1t is not
a specific for tuberculosis. 1t does
not afford humanity a secure refuge
against the greatest of scourges.
At most it opens a door Of hope, and
we must await Koch's experimental
ton and further research, before we
can say how broad the door is.

method OF hanging and still inspire
more terror than either the gallows

from both financial and historical
standpoint. 1t would arouse lively
competition in mining sections among
the owners of them, to the govern
ment for this useful purpose. Ages

what startling discoveries in regard to
modern buriel methods some future
Schlieman would make, following some
terrestrial upheavel of petrified bodies

course the expenses of burial could be
done away with and the dead victims
left where they dropped by shoveling a
few feet of earth upon them.

stubs OF fabus, and the great UNI
washed" at last at the mercy of the
overworked, ill-paid and sometimes
ill-fed, patient and long-sufierins
scribes. A newspaper oligarchy
If the newspaper men did not want
the Offices themselves they could die
tate who should be county coroner OF
constables Of the precincts. The JUS
tees Of the peace would tremble; a
state senator would come az their
bidding and the naughty representa-
tiyes, from the bucolic districts would
shudder at the waving Of gray goose
quill. The horn Of plenty would
abound in the sanctum of the editor,
the compositors would have "fat
takes" and the "deyil" would eat
"three squares" a day.
In that, all the fat Offices, with their
spells, perquisites and privileges could
be by them appropriated, and the only
surcease for sorrow which the public
would have would be in curses, which
however dare neither be too loud
nor very deep. A vista of UNI
limited possibilities opens before
the eyes Of this writer Visions
Of power unlimited, and a species of
mild tyranny, yet so dear to mankind,
despite the civilizing influences of cen
turtles.
The opportunity is here, and now is
the newsman's time. A chance, which
cometh, perchance but once in a life
time-to become, not only autocrats
of their own breakfast tables, but the
directors of an autocracy, standing
shoulder to shoulder, and who, with
an ink-pOt in one hand and a new
faber in the other, could with I'M
daunted front say to an abashed, but,
nevertheless gainsaying generation,

tnnity be seized? Alas! we fear not.

heart OF the husbandman.
The mountain trout cavorts at his

disports himself in bay or stream or
