moneys TO his own use, Governor
Foraker has requested his immediate
resignation, although in his communi.
cation TO Morgan he says that he knows
nothing as to the truth of the charges
aud does not wish TO appear as in any
way proiudlng the case. But does
not the Governors action indicate of
itself that he believes the accusations
TO be true; or, II not, that he Is simply
availing himself of the opportunity.
without any reference to the merits of
the case, to get Mr. Morgan off the
board for reasons of his own? We
doubt If it is the best or fair policy
to remove q public official under such
circumstances, unless the Governor
has convincing evidence to his own
mind that the charges are true, which
in this case he says he has not. The
proceeding is directly in contravention
of the accepted presumption of the law
that a man Is innocent until proven
guilty. 1t ailiXes to Morgan the stigma
Of guilt in advance of any hearing
whatever, and does him an injury In
the public estimation which no verdict
Of acquiltal could fully repair. 1t
may be, however, that in Cincinnati
every man is presumed to be guilty,
even when proven innocent.

SAD STORIES FROM BERLIN.

Out of population of 1900, 900
in Berlin more than $50, 900 are re-
ceiving public charity. Many of the
workingmen here openly favor COM
munity of wives. Divorces have
increased to Is percent of the mar
riages solemnized. The attendance
at the churches has decreased to 2
percent of the adult population, and
of $4,000 funerals last year, nearly
10000 were performed without any
religious ceremonies whatever.
Women flock by thousands to the
city to obtain employment, and !,
failing to get what they want, large
numbers fall and are lost. This evil
has become so great that strenuous
efforts are being made to avoid it..
The law of consent has already been
raised in a similar way as 1t was
done in New York and in England.
BY such legislative enactment some
sort of protection is extended to
girls up to the age of eighteen.
Lodging-houses and benevolent insti-
buttons have been established to aid
workingwomen, and a society ofladies
has been formed, charged with pro.
tecting, sustaining and counseline
women up to the age of thirty-five,

lieved and said that M. Ferry is
true statesman, and perhaps the only
person worthy of the name you have
in France On my manifesting
some establishment, the Marquis
emphasized his opinion by adding
that this view was shared by all the
members of his Government"
This gave rise to quite stir in
the Ministerial camp. 1t was ex-
planned to the Marquis that in Europe
praise is never bestowed on fallen
minister, and next day the Figaro
announced that the Chinese Embassy
had sent it correction. 1t was not
M. Ferry, but NJ. de Frecynet who
had been referred to by the Eastern
diplomatist. This equally sincere
and spontaneous correction fails to
explaine how the whole context
could possibly apply to M. de Frey
cinet, who never had differences with
the Marquis needing to be forgotten.
