Note the diaproportion between the
aexea after the age or lllteen' rms
represents the number OF males sent
| INTO foreign countries, 10 perish by dis
ease, or In battle; also the number OF
young men who emlgrate TO America
ana the British Colonies, 70 better their
condition. The loss OF DlOOO malea
between the ages of twenty ana thirty
| five fully carries out the truth OF the
assertion that the flower OF Britain per
lshes each year In the foreign service.
Perhaps II ia well that Great Britain
has foreign service for killing oil the
flower of hor land, for certainly there IL
nothing for them 10 do at home and
those who multiply descendente multi
ply poverty and misery, AS Tor The
aupeIllu0ua single women, their lot 10
hard enough and thousandaof them an
nually take TO the streets 10 earn the
means 10 keep body aud soul together
For Indecent, bareiaced, shameless
prostitution London leads the world,
/, myself have seen women ace0at men
In London, Ia broad daylight, In the
most public places aud have heard them
offer themselves for sale, Just as the
flower women, who stand IN the gutttra,
offer their wares. Let statesmen give
the cause of 80 much degradation aud
misery; for myself give facts only.
Take the single item of handmade
cotton goods. For u well made night
dress, good, firm cotton tucked ANA
trimmed with embroidery, you VIII pay
u sum IN London equal 10 u dollar IN
our money. The material there would
cost that sum; the making seventy five
cents more. Out Of the dollar the
seamstross gets u "thrlpenCe," equal 10
six cents OF our money, for which she
can buy food equal to three cents worth.
IL Is food alone that Is dear In London,
and accounts for The fact that the peo
pie live largely on dried fish.
Perhaps II was this state or affairs
that caused the London Times aud
Echo TO write thus bitterly about the
late Royal Grant Of thirty six thousand
pounds u year additional 10 the Royal
family, making q SUM total annually
Of $4,000 pounds, or S2,SOS,0OO;
at is all the better for trade, the oil
better for the butterflies, who fly swiftly
away from the fostering mass Of cor.
ruptlon In which the oaterpillars they
sprung from crawl If only one could
shut ones eyes 10 the slghto of the st0ry'
ing multitudes In the midnight streets,
TO the sounds Of hideous reyelry with
which, In humble imitation OF their
betters, the wretched seek 10 drown
their misery, one might come TO laugh
altogether NJ the idea that things viii
ever be different IL ever they are 30
If the days of such extravaganza In
high places are, indeed, numbered-if
the institutions that encourage IL are
at length 10 yield 10 better and purer
types OF government-there must frat
be less humbug among Englishmen
themselves; clearer and more dislnter.
ested views Of right and wrong; bolder
and more honest resolution 10 follow
the first and shun the second-then,
and not TIL then, we may hope 10 see
more honest care for the public veal In
the Commons House at Westminster
than has been shown this week"
