The sensational special from Wash

of this state. is colored to suit the
Democratic y glasses, and represents
that Mark Hanna is in deadly peril of
losing his seat in the National Senate.
This is not borne out by the intelli-
gence received from Ohio. which de-
clares that the Republican issues have
been the same as those last year, that
the free silverites have been waging
the same old fight and that the results
to the state will be the same. The

Henry George is the nominal success
sor of his father as the leader of the
George hosts in the great contest which
closes in Greater New York tomorrow,
but his fathers mantle has not fallen
on him. These three days have shown
that the George vote is going to be di-
vided, and the only real question is as
to what portion of it will go to Tam
many n what to Low. 1t is accept
ed as out of the question hat any APP
preciable part of it will go to Tracy.
Tammany leaders are loud in their
confident predictions that the death Of
Mr.. George has insured the election of
Van Wyck, and in all probability this
will be the result. The Citizens union
leaders continue to claim that Low is
making Roadway in every corner Of
Greater New York and that only the
actual count of the voters will deter
mine his strength. The whole inter-
est Of Tuesdays election seems to cen
ter around the contest over Hanna and
for the Greater New York mayoralty.

There is some daylight let into the
cabinet of the state official ring, and
threre is a growing impression among
some reputabl Democrats. not pie pol
iticians, that there is a close corpora
ton at Austin, al association of state
officers for the purpose of perpetuating
the offices among themselves. There
is sure ground for this suspicion. for
there has been for the past decade a
straight line of succession through the
attorney ~generalship up to the govern

THE GIRLS.

A movement is on foot among some
of the plilanthropists of this city to
look after the girl children of vicious
homes, over on the west side of the
creek. Complaint is made that some
young girls, under the age of consent,
provided by the laws of the state,
which is three "a less than the law
should prescribe, are being trained to
immoral lives in their own homes. The
attention of the Light has been called
to this matter with the request that it
enter a plea for a correction of the
abuse. AS to the actual facts, they
may or may not be as stated, but as to
the need of humane work, under the con
ditions reported, there can be no ques-
ton. The law as it now stands makes
no provision for taking out of the
hands of the parents and guardians the
girls of such guardianship
who are under corrupt influences, and
it can only be by proceeding against the
principals, the houses where these
young girls are being d~ebauched, and
that by their own mothers, that the
evil can be reached. These houses are
not those usually classed ill famed"
but houses ostensibly regarded as re-
putable, but where young men are n
tertained by girls of tender age, and
this with the consent and C%onnivance
of their mothers and guardians. This
is what is represented to the Light, and
the Light calls attention of the phil
anthrOpists of the city, the humane So
cietieS hat are in existence here, the
religious workers, to interest them
selves in finding out the whereabouts
Of the evils complained of and attempt
a work of rescue and reformation.
There is not a doubt that the authori-
ties of the city will heartily cooperate
to the extent of their legal and moral
influence in aiding any attempt to cor
rect an abuse as gross as this. To
fine an inmate is not enough, for there
are men enough on the outside to pay
the fines that are levied against these
for the violation of law and
the evil is not remedied. 1t is apparent
h a at present and until the laws are
amended to include offenses of this
class, the work must be one of moral

Iowa sees no reason to conclude on
h Eve of the election that there is
any doubt of the state remaining safe
ly Republican. There are six tickets
in the field, and of course division is
the order, but it is not reasonable to
suppose that any n of these divided
parts a override the vote hat will be
cast for the state Republican ticket.

nation is certain to be elected and it
is thought a working majority in the
Legislature.
