the way, Is characteristic Of municipal
government, and the city marshal Is
empowered or instructed, or both, to
break up gambling and prosecute the
Rahahs Of the town. He was told, hoN-
ever. that he was not expected 10 frequent
saloons, the only places where games Of
chanrs are carried on, which leads ne t.
the combustion that the only danger the
xambleFs would run Of being prosecuted
would be by opening games on the side
walk. q practice they are never known tn
indulge in exrept under the pFotertion Of
license. But 10 relieve the marshal Of
annoyance and show their rerpect fur
law, the pasteboard fraternity very polite
~ abandoned their avOraiion for the
time. and have taken to Renteel pedes-
trianism under campaign hats.
Now the unfortunate girls, whose char
acters are clniuled by the christian eun-
muuity to be soiled beyond the posaibil
ity Of cleansing, have not been 20 ioFtu-
nate in their relations With the city pO-
lice, for Il seems that number Of them
were brought before the magistrate ne
gently and fined IS each, and given to
understand the process would be re-
peaied once q month hereafter.
The query arises, why was the marshal
allowed to enter the houses Of these
women, and not the sal0ons; and II he
did not 70 there by whom did he prove
they had committed crime; and Il he
did not prove any crime against them,
what were they 6ned fort To hold all
women amenabIs TO the Law who receive
visits from men other than their hus-
banda, or Who have no husbands, or Who
having husbands do not domicile with
them, would tend at least to make the
honorable eounril Of even this severely
christian city little cautious about their
selection Of marshal and police justice.
Do not understand me as rejecting on
the women Of this city, for more virtu-
Gus community have never found; In
fact do not know d one unchaste woman
In Il; wherein concede the city police
may have the advantage Of me.
