shall be done. Capital in abun

DEATH OF BARON DALLING
AND BULWER.
The Atlantic cable announces
the death of Baron Dalling and
Bulwer, better known as Sir Hen
ry Bulwer. He was bcrn in 1804,
and passed his active life in the
diplomatic service of Great Brit
ain. He was attache and Secre
tary of Legation at various Courts
of Europe, and in 1843 he was ap
pointed British Minister in Mad
rid. In 1848 he was dismissed by
the Spanish Ministry in conse
quence of alleged interference
with the internal politics of the
country. He served as British
Minister in Washington from 1849
to 1852, when he was transferred
to Tuscany. While in the United
States he negotiated the well
knpwn Bulwer-Clayton treaty.
In 1858 he was Ambassador at
Constantinople, and held this posi
tion until 1865, when he returned
to England. For his services he
was raised to the peerage in 1871
as Baron Dalling and Bulwer.
THE NECESSITY of EDUCATION".
Education has long been ac
knowledged to be necessary to the
welfare joftfie nation. ButHhel
Jr F y 4ssr' k- a
questionvhether it shall bejcom
pulsory or- optional remain's un?
settled. To our mind there is but
one way bf'clispsi'ngfitT'ancl'
that is by adopting the compul
sory system. v .. . ,a
When we consider the fact that
many of the thousands of emi
grants who land upon our shores
every week-are brutally ignorant,
and are looked upon as beasts of
burden, and treated as such, how
can we expect such men to become
good citizens? Supposing they are
industrious, and become employ
ers, can we expect them to be just
to those depending on them? How
can we expect them to give opi
nions that would be worth any
thing on questions concerning the
welfare of the nation? They may
be fine-looking men; their sinews
and muscles may be finely devel
oped; they may be herculean in
physical power, but still they are
only animals. Let such a man be
tempted by his interests place
him in a position toward a fellow
man that would demand the sac
rifice of his own desires or that of
his neighbor will it matter to
him whether he is right or wrong
if he can do as he wishes without
injury to himself ? Will sinews
and muscles teach him to do what
is just? No. The God-given power
of intellect has never been devel
oped in him, and the hard, cruel
animal nature will assert itself. It
will tell him to destroy every ob
stacle in his path to gratify his
meanest wishes at the expense of
every law human and divine.
Fear is the only power that can
control him. He depends on phys
ical force, and that alone can con
trol him. With him or for him we
can do but little. He is past our
help. The small germ of intellect
implanted in him at his birth has
been dormant too long to be now
aroused. His mind is a blank. He
knows or cares for nothing but the
easiest method of supplying those
wants that he shares in common
with quadrupeds, and dies as he
has lived with the form of a man
and the instincts of a tiger.
But, while we can dp nothing
for such men, we can do a great
deal for their children. We can
see that the intellect which was
neglected in the fathers is devel
oped in their descendants. We
can see that instead of a curse to
society they may become a bless-
ing,ndjn helpingjthem we help
ourselves.' They are of our race,
and no matter what theirauces
torsf were,, they are ArSericans.
To jfch em and theirs, inithe future,
,Will;4e. entruStedfthe dirties we
now perform. All that lias been
accomplished in thecause of lib
erty since 1776 will be placed in
their hands, therefore it is our
duty to see that tlfey are fitted to
receive the trust. ' -
Such men as. we have described
above are not few in this country.
If we will take a look into the
Barbary Coast of San Francisco,
the Five Points of New York, and
similar places in all the cities in
the United States, we will find, in
nine cases out of ten, that these
holes of infamy and murder are
inhabited by such men and their
families as we have pictured.
People may talk about equality,
and that one man is as good as
another, but no chain of reasoning
can prove that an animal, such as
we have, described, is the equal of
a cultivated, intellectual man.
The Women Going Wrong.
At tho Woman's Suffrage Con
vention in San Francisco on the
18th, one of the claimants of the
ballot was proceeding to eulogize
Victoria Woodhull, when she was
interrupted by emphatic protests,
a vigorous opinion being expressed
that the introduction of such a
name was indecorous, to say the
least. The speaker, nevertheless,
declared that Victoria Woodhull's
ideas were believed in by a large
number of women, who, however,
were afraid to assert their convic
tions. We must believe this, says
the Sacramento Record, to be an
unwarrantable and libelous state
ment. The views held by the
Woodhull woman comprise free
love in its broadest and grossest
form; in fact she has publicly de
clared herself an advocate of pro
miscuous sexual intercourse. Now,
we cannot permit any persons
claiming the votes of men to con
ceal their real views on a question ,
of this kind. No good man, no
honest man, no conscientious man,
will stir a finger to aid any women
in the fulfillment of any purposes
of which this Woodhull can be re-
connection wun it iuuvuiiieii
damns that movement. She n
be mad, but she is impure in
thought and depraved in expres
sion. Her ideas are not merely
preposterous; they are revoltingly
indecent and nasty. To bring such
a creature up in a Woman's Suf
frage 'Convention, and to eulogize
her as a benefactor 'Ofti'er kind is
to insult in. the&most? Sbolish way
all those whb really desire-to help
woman to aibeter condition. Wo
tell the Women Suffragists plainly
that they must cut loose from the
free love element or go to the bot
tom with it. It is an element that
will never obtain the ascendency
in this country until the nation is
tar gone btfthSroad to ruin, and
it is an element which will perpe
tually concentrate the strongest
opposition of all right minded and
pure persons upon whatever it is
connected with. The name of
Victoria Woodhull is a stench in
the nostrils of ail virtuous women
and pure men, and those who hold
out the hand of friendship to her
and hers must and shall take the
consequences of their self-degradation.
Governor Hoffman and his
Accusers. Governor Hoffman,
on being interrogated as to the at
tacks made upon him by a daily
paper in New York city, said that,
having been twice elected Recor
der of the city, the last time al
most unanimously; and having
been elected Mayor of the ciiy,
the last time by an unprecedented
majority; and twice elected Gov
ernor, the last time by a largely
increased majority, and his official
character and integrity never hav
ing been questioned, he does not
believe it necessary to answer at
tacks made upon him on tho eve of
an excitingPresidenihl campaign.
