H INTELLIGENCER.
wHERLINo, NOVEMBER ., 1897.


The usual changes incident to The first
"off year. following the Inauguration Of
new administrator, when the party in
power. with rare exception. sustains
POSSES, characterized the elections in ten
statss yesterday. This is largely due to
the fact always that local isues are COM
pIcated with national ones, or that the
latter do not figure at all, and also to the
fact that there is a lack OF that interest
which brings out q full vote.
In Ohio It appears that the vote was
very Light, especially in the country dis
tricts. The Republican vote suffered in
consequence. The bitter fight made
against Senator Hanna, the campaign of
personal vtitiicatton and Islander. and
appeals to prejudice and resort to for
gerry had considerable effect among the
ignorant and thoughtless classes. The
factional contests over local issues In
Hamilton and Cuyahoga counties were
responsible for heavy Republican losses,
and the legislative tickets were made to
suffer TO the injury Of Mr.. Hanna If
the senator has been dHfeated he has
gone down conscious that he made a
mngnihosnt fight, and with honor to
himself and his party. But It remains
to be seen II he is defeated. 1t Is more
than probable that heltas triumphed.
> IN Maryland the blow that was deliv-
eredto Gormanismholds out encourage
ment for the political future Of that
state.
The result OF the municipal election IN
Greater New York has been q foregone
conclusion since the death of Henry
George. which took OF the contest
the factor that was most dangerous to
Tammany. The triumph OF this corrupt
organization, headed by Richard Croker.
hands over the greatest city government
on this continent to the same band Of
plunuerers that was deprived of power
by an uprising of the people three years
ago, and the city starts upon her new
career with anything but a hopeful out
look
It Is unfortunate that the anttTam-
many forces, those who desired TO keep
the city out of the clutches of the hungry
Tiger, were unable to unite in the COM
mon cause. The responsibility for this
failure is divided, and 1t is unnecessary
TO morahzs upon st at this time, or until
the returns are analysed.

Prudsa as AdvsrtIlsrs.

1t appears that the action Of the Phila-
delphia board Of education in barring
Victor Hugo's Les Miserahles from the
high school has had the effect TO largely
increase the sale OF the book and to re-
vive interest in It eve among those who
have read 1t. The absurd action OF the
board has not only produced this revival
in Philadelphia, but owing TO the discus
sion of the incident in the newspapers,
the demand has increased throughout
the country. much to the delight of the
American publishers Of the work. The
press Of the country has unanimously
ridiculed the board, and the gentlemen
composing It have become so ashamed
of their prudish conduct that they have
modified their order sufficiently to per-
nit an expurgated edition of the work
to enter the school library.
OF course this modification will only
make the matter worse. since every pupil
of the school win be all the more DESTROYS
to read the complete work, IL for no other
reason but to ascertain what has been
left out of the library edition. In other
words, the Philadelphia board of educa-
ton has simply emphasized its act in
making a donkey of itself.
Commenting on this point the Wash
ington Post very sensibly holds that II
harm could come to the young ladies of
the Philadelphia high school from read
ing Les Miserables. they would be sure
TO be harmed under the changed ruling.
THERE'S no book a girl or a boy is 90 sure
to read as a forbidden book, When that
forbidden book 10 for saie in every book
store and is on the shelves OF every pub
lie and private library. all that % re-
quired to insure its being read by the
pupils of any school Is @ declaration that
they must not read It. Our contempor-
ary proceeds:
Those young women in Philadelphia will
compare the complete with the eXpurgRted
edition, and will readily find the passages
that the censors dld not wish them 70 see,
~ ~ NotO iONniS'N - h"'
purest girl TO be corrupted by anything In
that book, this process would be danger
GUS, for 1t separates the beautiful n
wholesome whole into Its constituent
parts, impairing the moral lesson and
pointing a prudish finger of shame at pas
sages which, read in their proper connec-
ton. could not suggest an evil thought or
sully the wilderness Of the chaBteYt soul
Fortunately there 10 nothing In "Leb
Miserahles" that can exert a pernicious In
auenee, and therefore tho Increased de-
mand for 1t, consequent on the Philadol-
phia and Columbus. Ohio, episodes may be
viewed with satisfaction. II has been the
fortune OF many authors to be popularlzed
by literary prudes. Hugo made sure Of
immortal fame, and his great work had
acquired q Just recognition long before his
exit. But II Is well for morality and for
education that fresh attention has been
called to his writings.
Victor Hugo's works can do no ono any
harm and the public comment that has
been indulged in recently serves to show
how high a place they occuy in the public
estimation. There are books in many
school libraries that 1t might be we'll to
weed out, but Les Mtserables 10 not n
of them.

Million Dollar Monument for the Private.
Baltimore Ameriean)

There are many beautiful and costly
monuments which have been erected to
generals and other officers, and also
so-cailed soldiers monuments, but not
one monument distinctly erected and
dedicated to the enlisted men of the
army and navy. the character Of the
monument now proposed 10 he erected.
Grand Army place was so named
from being the site of the national en-
eampment of the Grand Army Of the
Republic held I'm Washington four years
ago. and the idea of the erection OF the
monument there and then took shape
The site is what was formerly known
as the White House lot. and lies to the
south of the White House in the neigh
borhood Of the Washington monument.
The ncorporators of the association
named include thirty well known veter-
ans of the war. The change in the al
ministration-the election of President
Cleveland-caused a halt in the pro
posed plan. 1t being thought that Mr..
Cleveland might be inimical To extend
ing Government aid toward the cree
ton of the monument. Several days
ago the directors held a meeting. and il
is now proposed to go ahead with the
plan. which, in the first instance. con
templates the raising of $1,000 900. and,
so far as may be, by popular subscrip
ton. not only among Grand Army
posts. Women's Relief Corps, Sons of
Veterans, Daughters of America, but
