The arguments were against diserimin- ailon, it being held that the department saould not stop the malls of other lotteries and not interfere with he Louisiana State Lottery. It was also held that in such cases the state was the judge and not the Supreme Court, and it Was Clied that the state of Kentucky throagh its court of appeals had three times decided tht. the Kentucky State Lottery was legally con- dueted, Another argument was that the course Of the department in regard to that lottery was against public policy.

Our Marine Hospital Service. FACTS AND FIGURES FROM THE ANNUAL RSPORT. ‘The marine hospital servise 13 almo-t as ol as the government itself. The annual repo for 1850, made. by Surgeon G2neral John Hamilton to Secretary Sherman, wonder was direction the surgeon general acts, shows that while the number of patients in 1369 was oul; 11,856, which were treated at a cost of $105,059, the 24.¢6u sick seamen taken care of by tue ‘ser? View last year required an expenditure of only $02 185. “The relation of the total cost to the Lumber of pattents 13 shown by the average v-r capita erst, shich bas been reduced by degreas rom $38.41 in 1870 to $16.13 In 1880. These gratl- fying resulis are attributed chiefly to the fact that the appointment of the medical offizers of the service has been removed from the Inia ence of politics. As the current fusd from which the expenses of the service are defrayed is the property of the seamen, and sinply man- aged in trust by the government, this {3 as should be. The establisument of addittonai hespitais at several of the largest poris 1s recommended by the surgeon genera ‘That physical examination of seamen is a sub. ject to which careful attention 1s given tn the report. Visual defects, heart disease, aneurism3, consumption and a number of other diseases which should certainly debar any person from active service beiore the mast, prevail to an alarming extent among the seamen. Cotor- bundness 1s the only one of these causes of un- Worihiness that has so far received attcntton. exceptin the revenue marine and in cases Where ship-owners have requested the medical officers of the marine hospital service to ex- amine tielr crews, which they do without any fee; and all has been done which it {3 posstbie to do without specfal legislation on the sudjes"; but tt 1s obviously to the best interest of all, except such seamen as may be foun ¢ased as to be unfit for service, thit we should have sound crews on all our vessels, whether they carry passengers or freight. To compen- sate for the weeding out of the permaneatly dicabled, the surgeou general recommends the establishment of a natioual sallors snug harbor, 4s sailors usually have no fixed home or place Gt residence where they can be taken care ot When Worn out.
