THE GREAT LONDON SCANDAL

The details of the expose made by the
Pal lMcH Gazet!s of London do not make
good reading. They are not fit to be
printed for distribution in the families of
the land. They may be summed up in a
single sentence-they charge that there
exists a vastly extended and abominable
traffic in England in the business Of pro-
curing victims for the qualification of the
lusts of libertines and female slaves for
brutal task-masters, and that fraud, subter-
fuge and force are employed to secure the
ruin and prostitution of young girls and
mere children, and that the deiloration of
virgins by violence is a special business,
the victims being imported in part, alb
Quoted in part, and largely selected from
the rural sections of England and the
working classes Of the cities The evil
dences cited Of the truth of the charge are
about as strong as could be desired for the
proving Of any physical fact. These cx-
pose horrible state of affairs, which have
long existed. and which have augmented
in extent annually. They involve the
blne-bloods, the business men, the fashion
able classes, and the criminal and non
producing elements of society. That, to a
certain extent, the infamous business is
paralleled in America and Europe is prob
ably true. The Gazette, in laying bare to
view this charnel-house of moral
corruption and bestiality, has done
great service to society. In
doing this it has been compelled to de
grade its columns and tarniSh its pages by
the filthiest and most revolving recitals
As the Gazette has never been n
sensational" paper as we know such
sheets, has never INDUCED in libidinous
> print, or catered to vulgar and sensual
taste, it has received public pardon for its
present descent into the social slums of
England. The only questions remaining
are, "Will the infamous business he bro
ken up, or will its inhumau promoters be
simply frightened into temporary aban-
donment Of their neflrious practices ~
"WiIl the English people strip the awful
thing to its bare bones, and set its skele-
ton TO bleach beneath the fierce rays Of
publicity, or will they express their horror
for the moment, allow the expose to be
the passing sensation, and permit the
horrid traffic to presently resume It's old
proportions" We confess to entertaining
the belief that it will be the sensation of 4
day, and that society will settle down to
the content of the same blindness that has
distinguished it in the past, foT the matter
is not new; its present public magnitude
in the peoples eyes is due simply to a
demonstration of its awful proportions. 1t
viii, we fear, cease to be a question Of
great concern when the public curiosity
has been satisfied 1t IS sad to be driven
to this conclusion, but the history
of past crusades against the manifesto
tions of the wickedness of mems passions,
justify the judgment formed. But il is
possible that broad philanthropy and the
spirit of a pure humanity may work great
reforms in the matter, and possibly wipe
out the infamy and shame We can only
