have been added TO show why Negley is emit
tied to Frew's vote, in the judgment of the
editor of the Day. The footings of this re-
markable arithmetician show the Democratic
majorities to be 20, 724, and the radical ma
jorities 22,576, completely contradicing the
statement in the beginning Of the article that
''the footings show Republican majority of
414S." Perhaps we ought not to find fault
with the Days table, as ''all is we'll that ends
we'll"
Next we have the Philadelphia Bulletin
publishing the official returns in which
Creelys majority is set down at 925, Dickey's
at 231, Meyers at -, and Scofeld's ut 60i.
This is followed by an article which gives
Creely 4735 majority, DIckey pal, Meyers
1911, and Sco6eld 50i This article is copied
from the Harrisburg Telegraph, and purports
to give the official vote. The readers of the
Bulletin have doubtless puzzled their brains
in vain in attempting to reconcile the contra
dictory figures of the two tables.
All this is quite amusing But when the
agent of the American Press Association de-
lberately telegraphs us the editorial of the
Harrisburg Telegraph copied into the Bulletin,
as a matter of news this joking of the Phila-
delphia statisticians on the subject of election
returns begins to pail upon our taste. That
industrious quidnupc might have saved HIM
self the trouble of sending us by telegraph an
article the fallaciousness of which we had ex-
posed the day before. We shall look, in a
day or two, for our answer to the T6legrdpd
to come back to us from Philadelphia via the
Pacific and Atlantic line.

ton, is largely responsible for the state of
morals which results in baby-farmers in Eng
land and female Thug doctors in New York.
Society is after ALL under the control of
woman; it is her public expression of certain
ideas-the garb she chooses for hospitality,
love, friendship, marriage. The view, mean
or pure, in which these things are held by
the fashionable women in cities is initiated
by the next In order, and so down to the very
drees. In country life it is different. We
believe that even the most fashionable woman
has in herself the purifying element. 1t is
RIGHT that the social sacraments meant for the
cure of vice should be left TO ker keeping.
But what has she done with them? How
does she rule her own household? Is it
O sphere of order, and love, and law, where
the woman whose chance has been small in
life understands God better through the
wisdom and goodness of the woman whose
chances have been many? Or is Biddy too
much for her mistress? Is she frautcaly
calling on the heather Ah-Chin to take charge
of her household, protesting that she cannot
control one raw Irishwoman, and therefore
can legislate for raw Irishmen? What has
woman in our cities made of hospitality? In
certain salons in France, in old times, the first
workers of the age came to women to receive
strength, refreshment, elevation for their
ideas. It was their thought that was

the ton. gives to the stomach
of her guest unlimited terrapin and
champagne-and to his eyes her husbands S
plate and gaudy furniture, and her own bare
shoulders and arms. That ends her idea of
hospitality and it's uses. What does she
make of marriage? Is it the most solemn of
all contracts between two human souls, of
which God is the perpetual witness aud
judge or is it a sham show for the benefit
of the public, that we may parade as mil
lionaires one day in silver aud brocade to
church and in the morning papers, though
we sink back to debt and obscurity the next
What has she done with death The heathen
beats tom-toms before his dead because he
fears and hopes to propitiate the grisly, un-
seen horror hidden behind it; but we make o

public to look at more silver and more bro.
cade. Our very dead become pegs on which
to hang our Dragging and sham show oi

Now it is from thoughtlessness more thar
viciousness that women have thus belittlet
and dressed in gew-gaws the solemn veritie'
left in their keeping; and because, too
women of real refinement and culture hav,

The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-10-28
''THE SEASON. 4"


Certain slight, significant hints tell us that
''the season" is beginning-the time when
social life all over the country closes in on
itself, shuts the doors, gives itself up for the
cooler months to the incubation of whatever
new folly or wholesome good it means to
bring into the world. What new creed or
idea may be Matched by society in the coming
winter is, perhaps, quite as we'll worth atten-
tion as the result of the elections. Life is
Janus-faced, and only half mads up of poll
tics, after all. Man doesn't live by votes
alone. Browns neighbor and friend and
wife, and the intangible relations full of
comedy and tragedy that bind him to them,
matter more to him at bottom than anything
Hoffman or Tweed can do to him. 1t is this
foolish, subtle, strong social life that com
mands his real self every day while he lives,
and keeps its hold on him to the last breath
when he comes to die.
There are peculiar reasons, too why the
present season should be noted and its symp-
toms reported. Certain diseases and abnor-
NAL phases of social life were never more
suggestively thrust into view than during the
last few months, both in this country and
England. The criminal records are ordina-
rily supplied by what is called the dangerous
classes, or, if otherwise, are accounted for by
some individual phenomenon of vice. But
such cases as that of Margaret Waters, or the
Mordaunt divorce suit, indicate radical de-
fects in the structure of the society to which
educated, respectable people belong. These
cases, it is true, are English; but Il is high
time that we looked to see if we had no
Augean stables of our own to clean. Every
body knows that the baby-farmers in London
have their parallel in New York. Everybody
knows, too, the trade of the owners Of pal
aces ''every brick of which is cemented by
murder" They openly advertise their calling
in journals which are professedly the organs
of the wealthier classes.
We do not intend to-day to disturb this
foul subject more than to say that ''society, "
~ moulded and ruled by the leaders of the
