The San Francisco Bulletin Of January
18th says:
The lecture delivered by DR.. Tucker be-
fore the Philosophical Society, last evening,
was a mastery affair. He vigorously pro-
tasted against the marriage of scrofulous
and diseased people. He contended that
had only hearty and moral people married.,
in time crime would be impossible.
In reply to the above, the Sacramento
Bee says: Crime, then, is a disease, ac-
cording to this medical authority. 1t is
inherited. 1t comes from the bad blood
transmitted by parent to offspring.
Scrofulous or otherwise diseased people
should not be allowed to multiply, the
doctor thinks. He protests against such
people obeying the first commandment
given to man, but what is his remedy ?
How would he check and ultimately de-
stroy this evil? Society having the right
to protect itself from criminals how can
it thus exercise that right? A slow way,
but sure as far as 1t goes, would be TO
hang all evildoers of whatever grade.
That, however, public opinion will not
vet permit, nor can it at any time until
men shall be allowed to have their rights.
Let men and women have their rights
full and free, and that of itself will dc
much to Danish poverty, disease, discon-
tent and bad temper, and then if mel
and women commit crimes against So
ciety, hang them /; but so long as society
commits crimes against individuals, by
depriving them of their rights, it should
look with a lenient eye upon the trans
gressor. Let not the guilty n throw
the first stone.

Mrs. TILToN was asked the other day
by a lady friend how she ever could have
done so. and replied: "What could any
woman have done under such circum-
stances! There were two men in the
world in whom ! had the most implicit
confidence, to whom / looked for instruc-
tion and in whom | believed as in my
God. These men were my husband and
my pastor. They both taught me daily
the doctrine Of free love, and l saw them
constantly practicing their teachings.
They made me believe that it was no
wrong, and I did not so consider it at
that time. But oh, if I were to tell the
corruption that I have witnessed in Ply
mouth, your heart would sicken.

zenship; to develop the individual Indian at the expense of the tribal system. The mere statement indicates how great is the task, and yet MT. SchurZ was so successful that the opinion of the frontier is gradually changing i; so that 1t IS fact that the head of Indian. af fairs, who has done most for the material well-being Of the Indian and for his advance ment in the art of living, finds his defenders in the far west, and his detractors, not numer- ous but bitter, in the far east.
 The results of this honest and intelli- gent Indian policy have been most impor- tant. Fonr years ago We seemed on the brink of another Sioux war, and the Neg Perces were already on the war path. Now the Sioux are farmers, freighters and stock raisers. and the Utes are following suit. The Indian troubles have been growing yearly less in number and importance, and MT. Nelson sums up the present con- dition of Indian affairs as follows
 This is speedy and worthy triumph. All over the western country, on the plains as we'll as on the Indian territory, may be seen the fruits of rational policy and of honest dealings with the Indians. Wigwams are giv- luS pldCc tO DOuScS; tuc 1ulldu CLllluTeu art beginning to be educated; the farm and che workshop are taking the place of the ''hunt- ing grounds" property in lands and cattle and money is coming to be preferred to scalps. The war paint and feathers and blankets are giving place to the clothes of civilization and labor; the Indian is beginning to deserve the blessings which are due to every man who makes two blades of grass grow where one grew before. There is peace throughout the country, for the Indians have reason at last to believe in the good faith of the Government.
 MT. Schurz has also put practical end to timber stealing, in spite of the strong support the timber thieves managed to get in Congress. He has brought into the Treasury $2s2,376 recovered from epredators-more than five times the average of the five terms preceding that of MT. Hayes.
 Such is brief and very imperfect out line of what has been done by the single officer in MT. Hayes cabinet who really believed in and practiced civil service re- form, during four years of arduous labor such as no mere politician has ever under taken. Let us hope that MT. Garfield has made selection of as efficient an officer as this "man of theory has proved.

The Lion is a large, beauti- ful collection of stars to be seen in the South west every pleasant evening. Tn the head and shoulders is large sickle make of seven stars which can be found by any one ln a minute. About the length of the sickle farther East are three stars forming right-angled tri- angle, the brightest one being farthest East ; and the line forming the shortest side of the triangle, if continued on South about twice it's length, will pass little East of where Uranus must be now. I shall look for white spot, and hope to find it near little star in the hind leg of the Lion.
