THE SOCIAL EVIL.

The following editorial taken
from the New Orleans Daily
States will apply to San Antonio,
as well also to almost every city
in the whole civilized world:
Mayor Flower has institut-
ed a vigorous move to remove a
foul and disgusting blot upon a
large district of the city. The
lewd women infesting that
portion of the city en-
bracing Basin, Franklin Bur
gundy, CustOmhOuse, Blen-
Vile and several adjacent
streets Immediately in the reach
of town, have been ordered to va
cate their present haunts, and an
ordinance will be introduced at
the next meeting of the council
to regulate the matter.
1--WE think that our hOnOred
mayor has taken a step in the
right direction. But the evil he
has attacked has several sides,
and a mere order to these miser-
able and unfortunate creatures
to move is not sufficient, and, If
not accomplished by other meas
ures, will work a great injustice,
impose much hardship and suffer
ing, and really aggravate the
evil.
"In the first place these women
cannot live in the road or in the
fields. They must have a place
of abode and shelter, and to drive
them out of their present haunts
will compel them to seek homes
in respectable portions of the city
and become nuisances to innO-
cent people; besides it will entail
great needless suffering upon the
miserable beings subject to the
order.
something unquestiOnably
ought to be done with this class
of the community, But some
thing wise and just can only be
done under a well directed and
humane system. They are hui
man beings, and thousands of
them more wrOnged than wrong
ing others; more unfortunate
than guilty. They are Outcasts
from society; even the laws of
the land shrink fFGm recOgniz-
ing them; they are beaten and
abused by hOodlums, blackmailed
by policemmen, scourged by the
law, and they have no redress.
Neither priest nor preacher
breaches to them Christ and Him
Crucified, or appeals to the little
good that remains in them, or
gives them a word of hope; no

A CHRISTMAS TIP.

The thousands of Texans who came
from the South Atlantic states find
much pleasure in reverting to the hap
py days of long ago when they were
children, and often they awake at
night to recall those scenes of yore,
which gave'to life charm, and which
now come in later years as visions OF
joy. There is a tender spot In ev-
cry heart for the old home, and the
memories which cluster about the
dear old spot are solaces in the weary
weary struggle we make day by day
to build in our new Eldorado home
to which our children in future time
will turn, as we turn now to the old
place where our loved ones in the ev-
ening of life await the final summons.

woman, however charitable and
tender-hearted, will permit teh
skirt of her robes to brush them ;
and yet there is no doubt that
among these unfortunates there
are multitudes who would reform
and lead better lives if they only
had half a chance. Alas! they
have no chance. The little good
Z that is in them when it struggles
for existence is crushed back by
every human foot that encounters
them. They are like the souls
of the damned in that Circle of
Dante's hell, where the doomed
inhabit the depths of a lake of
burning lava, the surface of
which is agitated by the strug-
giles and heavings of the unseen
sufferers, and when one lifts his
head above the fiery surface a
fiend stands ready with pike to
plunge him back beneath the sur
face of the burning food.
Their cries of woe; their
warnings for a better life are
hushed and quenched by the wall
of impenetrable fire with which
society has surrounded them. No
helping hand, no voice of hope
ever penetrates the hell in which
they are doomed to live.
"Such unfortunates must, of
course, be dealt with in an en-
Iightened and Christian cOmmu-
nifty with a strong hand; but at
the same time among no class is
humane and Christian charity
more needed. How to deal with
these people has always been a
veXed question. We think it
would be wise were Mayor Flow
er, without relaxing his existing
order, to institute a committee
of humane citizens, consisting of
DuNSlCldHS, u1tICudulS anu Otu-
ers, to take this matter into con-
sideration and draft a scheme for
the regulation of this evil. Such
a scheme would necessarily in
clude the apportionment of a
district of the city for these wo-
men to inhabit, and provision
should be made for the compen-
sation of those reputable citizens
who would be thus compelled to
abandon their homes and move
to another section of the city. A
license should be imposed upon
the women and out of its pro-
ceeds reformatory schools and
hospitals should be established.
Capable and humane physicians
should be appointed to take
charge of the sick, and the whole
plan should include the reduc-
ton of the evil publication of

the city and reform of the unfor-
tunate creatures. Something of
this sort was proposed by the late
council, infamous in history as
the Fitzpatrick administration,
and some of the features of the
plan were excellent. But it was
so obviously a job got up in tn
interest of a favored physician
that it excited popular disgust
and indignation, and it was very
properly crushed. And finally
I there is a phase of the question
that cannot be publicly discuss
ed, and that is that these aban-
doned and forsaken creatures are
not without an important place
in the moral evolutions of so
ciety.
"If the mayor should pursue
some such plan as this and sue
coed he would cover himself and
his administration with glory
and the blessings of thousands Of
unfortunates would follow him
to the grave. At the very least,
he would have the proud salts
faction of knowing that he had
accomplished a noble work in
the interest of municipal decen-
cy, Christian charity and true
reform"

said that Mrs. Parker told her when she
came from New York once in about 1872
that she had been living with two other
women all OF whom had been supported
by men. She was well dressed and had
diamonds and jewelry. On one occasion
she said she had bean living with a man

going to leave him because she had OBJ
tanned all she could from him.
Mrs. Beatley detailed the Irritation that
led to Emma Parker and herself meeting
Ed Parker and Mr.. Scranton. Ed Parker
and Mr.. Scranton were on the street, when
Mrs. Parker struck up a Irritation. Mr..
Scranton made the advances. and because
the witness was bashful Emma referred to
her as simple country girl. The arrange

Several Important Real Estate Deals
Recently ConSummated and More
Will Follow.

SAN JOSE, CAL, June 18.-The past
year has been disastrous one to all busi-
ness in this State, the real-estate interests
feeling the effect more acutely than prob
ably any other branch. In the general
improvement which is now showing in all
lines OF business property interests are, as
is always the case, among the first to re-
ceive substantial benefits. Quiet but very
effective work has been going on in this
county, which will be of far reaching
benefit not only to Santa Clara but to the
entire State.
About four years ago the Morgan Hill
ranch, beautiful domain of 10000 acres,
without Improvements, was subdivided
and offered for homes. Notwithstanding
the great depression that has character
lied business since then, there has grown
up on that property a resident population
of 500 people, who can boast of large
$4,000 schoolhouse and one of the finest
railroad stations on the line. Waterworks
have been established and 5000 acres of
fine orchards are now growing on the
ranch. and young as the trees are, many of
them are bearing crops.
The San Martin, another large property
near the Morgan Hill. has been on the
market for three years, with similarly
gratifying results. Here are $4,000 acres
of the choicest of Santa Clara lands.
The prices that were first put on the
