Regulating an Evil.
from the Ohio Statesman. ]

That unpleasant excIesence generally de-
nominated the ''social evil" cannot be
lrowned or ignored ont of existence, and
perhaps in the course of time even the most
unspsring censors and rigid moralists will
confess that the best way is to look this
difficulty in the face, as the authorities OF
St. Louis baYe' chosen TO do. Whether
their plan of regulating the evil is wholly
commendable, still remains a question; but
the last report Of tho Chief of Police con-
tains much that is encouraging to the
humanitarian. 1t appears that under the
registration system, he number Oi unfor-
tanats women has steadily decreased, the
decrease 10 the last year being 45 per cent; +;
that the women have been restrained with =
in the bounds of outward decency; that
iUveaile degradation has almost entirely
ceased; and the moral aud physical health
of the Nnfoituaaies has greatly improvtd.-
Many women have manifested desire TO re
form, aud have been enabled to do so by.
the cooperation of tie kiud aud eatnes,
officers who have charge Of the system.-
Finally. the report says that the salary re-
c9ived ircm the working OF the ordnance,
