GREAT MORAL AWAKENING.
One Paper Thinks IL Is Badly Needed
I'm Our Cities.
From the Boston Herald.

from tue boston hcTAlQ
At the Capital Of the nation, and in the
forty-six States OF the nation. nothing has
been so popular in recent years as cru
sadinE against corporations. But every
municipality IS a corporation, and the
people are the incorporators and stock
holders. Why not reform the municipal
corporations and prove the sincerity Of
the great moral awakening" by begin
ming the great moral work at home?
From the Chicago convention next month
there will surely come loud reports Of the
great moral awakening" But Chicago
has not morally awakened. San Francisco
the other day gave herself over to pa
triotic eruptions on the occasion OF the
visit of the battle fleet; but San Francisco
has yet TO prove that as a municipality,
she has a more active moral sense than a
turnip. What is true of these two is true
Of most American cities. 1t is a matter
of common knowledge. 1t is also a mat
ter of common Jest. 1t Is not yet a mat
ter of national shame. When 1t becomes
a matter of national shame the appro-
pirate season will arrive for declaring a
great moral awakening" But the con-
dition Of our cities, and the CHASTITY disre-
gard we have for human life in all the
States and many OF the industries, should
make even the politicians silent when
they begin 10 renew their vote-catching
panegyrics on the great moral awaken
ing"
