A CHRISTIAN CIVILIZATION.

The New York World a few weeks ago
published an article Picturing some phases
OF life in q notorious dive known as the
"Blaek-snd-Tan." This was but one 81 the
host Of dens Of similar character that have
existed for years in that city unmolested BY
the law. These revelations led to the raid
ing of the disOrdsrly house and the arrest
and conviction of its proprietor. The World
now exposes the noted dive known as Ar
mory Hall" kept By BILLY McGLoRY. This
den may be taken as q fair representative
Of such houses in New York City and in
other cities Says the World:
"The house stands among the turbulent
tenemsnts, in the heart of the homes of rh4
poor. Armory Hall, with its lights flashing
sll night from hundred windows; its music
iDeing-these make the will o the Sisp
leading thu children of the poor away from
heir homes and transforming them into the
lomen Of the town. 1t is because Arnory
Hall is the procurer of girls for all the
Suses Of llfsme that its existence is so se--
Ole. And when il is understood that Billy
: eGlory. despite sIl the fables of gallan'ry
/ I'D chiyalry concerning him, is the man
J no leads the children piilessly aud bru-
slly from their iresides into the homes Of
AN, then the exceptional position thai
Armory Hall holds in the metropolis be
comes clearly defined. Many are the moth
efs who have stood BY lis doors praying fof
fbeir daughters and the fathers who have
ctrssd it for the ruin it has wrought"
And here It Is that hundreds and hun

dreds OF innocent g;rls, dszzled By the
splsndor that invites them enter. come in
contact with the yilsst dregs Of society.
They first sntsr to look on, but are soon
contaminated BY the stream Of pollution
flowing around them and sink to the level
Of the lowest Many Of those that are
attracted into this den are children Of the
poor, the very class that most need the pro-
techon Of the law. Yet such men as
MGLoRY rule and ruin, and none Interfere.
The appeals of parents for their daughters
and brothers for their sisters have only met
the response from these 6ends that the girls
are under their care and they must be pro-
tected" from their friends. This man
McGLoRY has grown rich. They say the
diamond on his shirt front is worth q for
tune" But bis wealth is built upon the
bones of has victims. Yet, he Is
called q gentleman and is regarded as q
jolly good fellow by q large class OF New
York society.
Still, for all this, America is a Christian
land. These dens in New York City are
in the very shadows of some Of the finest
churches in the world. Jealous Christians
pass these places that are sapping the foun-
cations of society as they 60 to church to
listen to music and e~loquence and contrib
ute money to send to the heather thousands
of miles away. People read the accounts
Of the vice unearthed in London, and
congratulate themselves that they are so
much better than their neighbors across the
ocean. Christians Of our eastern ciieI
have been much alarmed over the moral
ulcer that has been growing in Utah, but
that which is working the ruin of their
friends and ~neighbors seems not worthy OF
their notice. Yet we have a glorious civil
lizauou. Christian people have become
tco pure and noble to heed the tears and
cries CT me poor whose friends have been
offered up as vic inns soul and body in these
drps Of vice.

II the Charleston Item intends to convey
tie impression that the REGIsrEE.s view IS
identical with the Item.s' insofar as re
fecting upon the officers Of the State for
their vigorous prosecution Of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad tax case, then the
Item is radically wrong. The axe must
be collected, and collected according to
law. There is no other way to proceed,
This is the position Of the REGISTER and no
other.
The impression seems to prevail
in certain quarters thai the Chesa-
pssks and Ohio company, through its
officers, attempted to compromise within le
gal limits. That's, BY offering to pay q por-
ton of the taxes on account, and taking a
neral receipt for the same, the money to
Noaid through some State depository as
tded by law. Such q compromise tae
REc1sfER desired to see and expressed re-
gret that it was not consummated. Because
fit had, further litigation and delay would
have ended, and both the State and railroad
would have been r~elieved-one by
receiving funds in the Treasury
long overdue, and the other by
making part payments as it was able, would
not have been embarrassed seriously Such
a proposition, the REGIsrER thought, and
still thinks, would have been strictly withinthe
law. 1t would have been extending the same
rSs&leges to tbs COM any that sherifs and tax
collectors extend to individuals, and which
would in no way have interferred with the
collection Of sLl taxes due.
But this offer, the REGIsTER is informed
upon good authority, vas never made. The
nearest to it was q specific sun on a
specific tax. This proposition was no.
within the scope of the law and therefore
could not be entertained.

CHARLESTON, August lS.-The Ohio
