The moral world k rejoicing over
the victory achieved In the British
House Of Commons on Friday night, In
passing IN amendment to the criminal
till raising the age Of consent In girls
to sixteen years. The measure WAS
carried by . vote Of re to 81. Large
as is this majority and great IS is this
victory for humanity, vistue and decen-
cy, we are surprised that even
ninety-one men should be found in ths
Parliament Of England, that would
vote against such . measure. As well
might they vote to turn female child.
dren ont to the mercies Of q gang OF
ravenous wolves as to vote to make them
the trustees of themselves at the age OF
thirteen. Still we accept the vote OF
the House Of Commons as the rising OF
the day star Of morality, and Of an
-exaltation Of . quickensd conscience
amongst the people. The amendment
would have been better still and have
cefiected more Of the light Of humanity
upon society had ParliameEt raised the
age Of consent to eighteen instead oil
sixteen.
The bill still has the gauntlet Of the
House Of Lords to run, but Sll appre-
heosions of danger to 1t was expected
to come from the House of Commons.
Once through that 1t has passed what
was considered the worst danger. The
moral world, however, can Afford to
stop and take grand shout over this
great victory, . shout that would have
been heArtier zest IL II were not for
the thought that there are still ninety
one men in the House of Commons who
have shown by their votes that their
voice is still for the moral destruction
Of thousands Of young girls as soon as
they reach the age of thirteen. In the
general joy of the triumph of the right
In the English House OF Commons, the
Pail Mall Gazette should receive the
need Of praise that is its due for becom-
ing the pioneer in this great moral
reform.
