DR.. koch's Own Words.

DR.. Robert Koch has given out a signed
statement at Berlin, in which he SAYS
that experiment and not argument is
what is needed In the fight against con-
sumption. The time has passed, he SAYS,
when we may be guided either with
certainty or profit by statistics. Nothing
short of actual dealings with actual con-
ditions will avail. We demonstrated
that human tuberculosis Is incapable of
transmission to cattle. We have now to
lend ourselves to the reverse proposition =
1t Will be seen that DR.. Koch does not
speak as he was alleged to have spoken
at London. The tone of his address
there as reported was hardly scientific,
and was, therefore. different from what
should be expected of him. He touches
on this point in the present statement in
which he says:
1T Is proper to correct two mistaken
impressions which have grown out of
my recent London address.
'Flrst-l laid no claim either to prior
ity or monopoly TO any ideas therein
propounded. | sought only TO tell of my
own private experiments, and was, in
fact, glad of the opportunity given TO
mention my contemporaries in some of
their experiments, among whom was one
of Americas greatest medical authorizes,
DR.. Theobald Smith.
"Second-I did not mean to recon-.
mend the abandonment of comprehen-
sive and expensive systems of regula-
ton, prevention and inspection that are
now in operation. | simply said that 1t
was Injurious and unnecessary to 90
further with such systems when we were
justified in expecting that our long
sought remedy was found and almost
within our reach. Why, then, should
we rear higher structures which must in
evitably fall to the ground:"
All this is more in keeping with what
a distinguished man Of science would
naturally say than was the statement
printed as his, but based on reports that
were made on the spot, but almost GER
tainly made by men not specially famil-
lar with the subject. A report by an I'M
professional nearer of professional
address is always liable 10 contain errors
and they may be errors of far more con-
sequence than the reporter imagnes.

ABOUT MAINS CIRCUS.

Some Interesting Items Concerning the
Show That Drew Mondays Crowd.
Walter Mains circus drew an immense
crowd to Middlebury on Monday last.
At the afternoon performance over GOOO
tickets were reported sold, and in the
evening proportionately large crowd
was present. The show itself was as
good as any of the kind ever given here !;
and the menagerie, while not large. con-
tanned all the stock animals usually found
with first class shows of the kind.
1t will be interesting to those who re-
call the male white water-buffalo. shown
in the cage near the door to the ring tent.
to know that the animal was shown for
the first time In Middlebury. 1t came up
from Rutland Monday on special train,
having reached there by express from
San Francisco too late to connect with
the circus train. The animal came from
the Philippine islands, where it was
secured for Main by Major D. S. Craw-
ford, 18th L. 5. infantry. After the close
of the season, the buffalo will be sent to
Mains stock farm at Geneva, O., for
breeding purposes.
The circus came here from Bennington.
where it showed last Saturday. Middle
bury was the second place in the state
where it stopped, The show had pretty
hard time of 1t the first day in the state.
During the afternoon at Bennington. in
response TO telegram from secretary of
state. First Selectman Powers and Judge
Darling visited the manager. and made
him nov stoto 1ioonco OF s1noo
the show could go on. The train that
brought the show to Bennington was
held up at Eagle Bridge until some diff
culties in regard to the New York state
license were adjusted. While a. Ben
nington an old board bill contracted in
Hoosick Falls three years ago had 10 be
settled. One of the men connected with
the show broke both legs while taking
down the tent at night, and one of the
best horses died after the evening per-
formance. The manager complained Bit
terly of the rates charged by the railroads
for transportation.
The circus started on the road on MAY
18th, and from that date to last Saturday
had given Isl performances, 81 beng in
large cities; their route has covered ten
states and sixteen railroads, with mileage
OF 44lO miles from the starting point on
May up TO Aug. L. At the close of the
season in October the show will have
covered 10000 miles. They left for Port
Henry from this place, and 60 north,
covering northern New York; then they
strike south through Vermont, New
Hampshire and Massachusetts.

The Iowa Doctrine.
Mirror and Farmer

The declarations of the Republicans of
Iowa always command attention and car
ry weight, and rightfully so, for the
party in that state is composed of excep-
tionally intelligent and thoughtful men
and its representatives in congress and
other leaders are broad-minded, honest
and able. At the least it may be said
that Iowa Republicans speak for the
party in the great states between the
Alleghanies and the Mississippi, and the
lakes and Mason and Dixon's line. In
the recent convention they said:
We assert the sovereignty of the people
over all corporations and aggregations of
capital and the right residing IN the people
prohibitions upon corporate management as
will protect the individual and society from
abuse of the power which great combinations
of capital WELD. We favor such amendment
OF the interstate commerce act as will more
fully carry out its prohi oition of discrimina
lions in rate making, and any modification
OF the tariff schedules that may be required
to prevent their atfording shelter to mon
opoly.
We favor such changes in the tariff from
time TO time as become advisable through
the progress of our industries and their
changing relations to the commerce of the
world. We indorse the policy of reciprocity
as the natural compliment of protection, and
urge its development as necessary to the
realization of our highest commercial pos
siDilities.
AS suggested. this is the voice of the
great West, and II the party Is wise it will
be needed. 1t is an answer to those who
insist that the tariff must not be disturbed
response to those who maintain that
changed conditions do not demand chang
es in the Dingley bill and that none of
the prohibtory schedules of that meas
ure must be modified. It says that
WhpnpV tariff prOtpptiOn il DrOs titutpd
to afford shelter to monopolies it should
be abolished and that whenever schedules
can be modified by reciprocal agreements
so as to develop our commercial enter
prises it should be done.
And this means. as everyone knows,
that when the steel trust shelters itself
behind the iron duties TO extort from
home purchasers fifty or seventy-fve
per cent more for its products than it
sells them for abroad, in order to earn
dividends upon watered stock, the pro-
lection which 1t abuses in this way
should be removed and that the same
remedy be applied to every such abuse.
Ii means that whenever our trade can be
extended by making reasonable conces.
sions to foreigners, that should be done.
And these propositions appeal not only
TO the self-interest but 10 the sense of
fairness and Justice of the mass of Re.
publicans in the East as we'll as in the
West.
That they do not find favor with the
trusts is not strange. That they will be
stoutly antagonized in congress by the
agents of these monopolies is certain
but the people will stand upon the Iowa
platform and sooner or later will have
their way.

A STAGE COACH ROBBERY.

The Adtrondacks the Scene of n Regular
Wild Western Exploit.
The Adirondack mail coach was held up
few miles above North Creek on Aug.
10. 1t contained four men and three
women, Edward Bernstein and j. A.
Lafley of New York, Edward Marquette
of Meriden, Conn, and John Case of
Blue Mountain Lake were the men pas.
sengers. The women's names were not
obtainable. William Eldredge of North
Creek was the driver. When the high
wayman appeared and ordered the driver
to stop and the passengers to hold up
their hands it was supposed to be Joke,
but the bandit fired four shots at
the horses, killing one leader and wound
ing the other.
When the shots were fired, Marquette,
who was inside, put the bulk of his money
inside his trousers, so that the robbers
secured only $50 from him. The women
were not molested in any way. When
the horses were shot, the driver, who
had $500 of the stage company's money,
leaped to the ground and ran into the
woods, where he hid. The other men

but were not pursued or further modest
ed. There was no registered matter in
the mail bag, which was riled, and a
small safe under the drivers seat con-
tanning valuabes was overlooked.
After the robber had disappeared in
the woods. the men returned and pro-
ceeded to Indian Lake, the next stop,
where the passengers all remained except
Case, who continued his Journey with
the driver.
The whole country was aroused and
scores of armed men secured the woods
in pursuit of the bandit, but did not Sc
cure him. He is supposed to be a short
thick-set man who stopped at Dunlap's
hotel. and who left with a fishng-rod
and rifle, since which time he has not
been seen. The robbery took place in
one of the widest parts of the Adiron-
dacks, between the North Creek end of
railroad and Blue Mountain Lake.

Another bogus honorary degree fac
tory was discovered in New Jersey last
week and broken up. Any degree in the
list was sold for $50. That was pretty
cheap; but the indiscriminate comforting
of degrees by colleges and universities of
established reputation acts to cheaper
the degrees no less than the open placing
of money value on them. Too often
the degree is conferred by the Institution
with an eye single TO future monetary
gain, or if not to that then TO equally
sordid free advertising. The line of
demarkation is not sufficiently plain be-
tween the buyers of the bogus New Jer-
sey degrees and Standard Oil Rockefeller,

Either Sir William Vernon Harcourt
has a rapier Of amazing penetrating
quality or Mr.. Chamberlain's skin is far
thinner than has been thought. Ger
tainly his defense of the use Of savages
in the war upon the Beers was wholly
superiiuous.
England has declared war upon the
republics to their last man, their last
woman and their last child. What does
1t matter whether she uses savages with
black skins or white TO execute the
mandate of her god of battle? She has
suspended civilized warfare. What
does it matter how she carries on her
proposed battles? The great superiority
of the savage is that he is never afflicted
with squeamlshness. He takes no
prisoners. The wall of the infant. the
sex OF the woman, makes no impres sion
upon him. Is ii not on the whole better
that England should save a little of her
face" by putting herself in position
where she can disclaim the worst of the
consequences of her commands, while
reaping the benefits-if there are any?
For England's South African purposes
the only good Boer of. any age or either
sex is dead Boer. Mr.. Chamberlain
might better have kept silence. In all
such cases speech is an aggravation.
The British people would prefer to shut
their ears, avert their faces and press on
to GLORIOUS victory"

The discovery of new oil wells in vari-
Gus parts of the country, and the conse-
quent future cheapening of that article
of commerce, has turned attention to the
practicability of substituting oil for coal
as a steam generator. Large ocean-going
steamers are said TO be in course of con-
struction with boilers arranged for the
use of oil instead of coal and 1t is proba-
BILE that railway locomotives using oil
will soon become common in the oil
regions.

The Scientific American Is inclined to
take very different view of the Santos
Dumont dirigible balloon experiment in
Paris from that of many daily papers.
Instead of acclaimng the Dumont balloon
as the precursor Of successful air navi-
gators, the American points to it as proof
positive that the successful air ship must
be found elsewhere than among gas
inflated balloons. The impossibility of
Ignoring the elements IN driving a gas
balloon makes that form wholly i'm
practicable from commercial standpoint
and that standpoint must be the ulti-
mate test of success. The American
believes that the air ship, when it comes,
will be on the lines indicated by nature
in the flight of birds that is, on the aero
plane basis. In that line what Is needed
just now is an automatic means of
balancing the plane, and inventors are
invited to tackle the subject.
