The time has come when W

: The time has come when W
t must call a spade a spade.
r Rev. McGarvey has shown t.
J the satisfaction of over a thous
5 and Lexington men, who mad
his Sunday evening congregatiol
that the present management o
Lexington will to the full exten
, of their ability run the saloon
and race courses and pool room
and whore houses, in full blast.
MADAM" Belle Breezing toll,
me that some of the biggest mel
in Lexington were her patrons
l didn't ask their names because
do not think the testimony of
woman in her calling is to b,
taken under ordinary circum
stances, although she was brought
up in the Sunday-school of the
Broadway Christian church. But
We do know that the MADAM
pays taxes on FIVE houses, and
that she advertised not long ago
for some diamond ear rings that
she had lost that she said were
worth 81, 800. The earring
business may all have been a lie,
and simply an advertising dodge,
but the Assessors books show
about her real estate, and this has
been accumulated since she was a
poor girl, nine years ago. "Poor
white trash can't pay a woman
of that kind enough to buy those
houses.
Almost any newspaper man in
town can tell you of two big
church going Presbyterians who
had TO put up 100000 each
few years ago here, to keep one
of these women from blowing on
them.
Ifyou ladies' can stand it, l
reckon l ought to manage to do
so, but the husbands and sons of
some of you heavy swells of the
female persuasion who faunt your
seal skins and diamonds in these
fashionable churches, pay for
Madam Greetings real estate;
and then besides her there are, as
by the Y. NJ. c. A. to
Bro. McGarvey, from four to six
hundred more of madam"
Breezing's stripe that have to be
provided with diamond earrings
and other necessities of life.
Each one of you ladies think
that your husband never goes to
such places, and that even if he
wanted to go there he could not
do so without your detection.
That's where you get left.
| believe that if my lady friends
were asked if they thought l
would go to such places they
would unanimously say No.
That's where they would get left.
Within the past three years
have gone in the night to the
boss one of all the establishments
On Mcgowan street, and / had a
big arm chair, and a nice fire and
books and pictures, and a fine
piano, that your husbands paid
tor, and at which l had full per
to sit and play fugues and
and etudes from the mas
:ers, with the boss woman of the
whole shebang to talk to me, and
she did talk to me, in all that ele-
yance and fine clothes and jew
Try, and said to me 81 live in
nell, and would give everything i
nave if l could be restored to
good society," l went in the
night and came back in the night,
put took no pains at all to con-
zeal or disguise myself.
And vet l have raised Cain
lere fussing about these women,
md denOuncing the men that
them, and there are a
thousand men in this town who
would have taken special pleasure
n circulating that | had been
,een coming out of those houses.
On top of this is my respected as
'ertion from Ingersol in print,
hat | think that considering the
,aw material God had when he
made a woman out of a bone, it is
he best job he ever did.
Well you never heard anybody
alking about my going to a place
If that kind did you? No; you
lidn't. Well your husband can
20 there and you will never hear
talking about it, just like
ny wife's husband went there and
You never heard anything about
t, until | lold you.
They can do it just as easy as
rolling off Il log, and not halt try,
md you dear ladies never will
know about it until Gabriel blows
MS horn, and the books of the re-
angel are opened.
The democratic ticket an
nounced in the papers here will
encourage that, and if you virtu-
Gus women of Lexington don't
like that kind of an outlook it
seems to me you ought to be say
ing SO, in tones SO loud that we
all can hear you.
