We have recently commented upon the fact that the capital of one railroad organization, the Pennsylvania Central, amounts to more than (he appraised value of all re. and personal property in several different States of tiio union.

SOCIAL EVIL,

The propriety of licensing the Social Kvil" has been discussed ni length in the newspHpers of the country of late. The city of St.

IJOUIH

has adoptwl tlie

system which bus been long uned in Paris and other Kuroponn cities of licensing and regulating houses of pros titution. What the practical results o£ the new system have been wo nro not informed. Tlio Arguments in. its favor are plausible. Its advocates submit that the lascivious disposition in man cannot be suppressed, and hence it should be regulated—that it is better to throw out safeguards to prevent the extension of the horrid diseases peculiar to prostitution than to n.tcinpt to suppress the prostitution itself. They argue that the sale of intoxicating liquors, which breeds as much injury to the country as the "Social Evil,'' is licensed and that various other things which are essentially wrong are tolerated by the law. The whole argument, in fact, is this—that evils th.it cannot be suppressed should bo regulated. Let us carry this reasoning further. The civilization of which we boast litis not been able to suppress tlio murderous disposition in man. As the Cainlike inclination cannot be destroyed suppose that wo "regulate" it. The law might prescribe that under certain circumstances, and with proper license murder would be permitted. Infanti eide is a crime that has grown into tor rible magnitude recently. Why not license infanticide and foeticide? Per haps the latter crime could be so reg ulated as to make it less dangerous to the lives of the women who practice it If this could be accomplished there is little doubt that child-murder wquld become more common, the revenues of the State would be increased and socio ty in general would be happy. Thieviti is prevalent. Kleptomania is classed as a disease and there is no doubt that the pilfering disposition is innate with a large class. Let.us license and regu late" stealing. Moral suasion has failed. Regulato is the word.

Those persons, humanitarians some of them profess to be, who would license and legalize prostitution, labor for the disruption of society, ihe triumph of vice, and the breaking up of (lie marital relation which is at once the bulwark and the crowning glory ot our social system. Legalize prostitution, and lewdness and wantonness will cease, to an extent, to be disreputable. The path of dishonor has attractions enough to the poor, the disowned and the forsaken women of tfte country now. Let us not legalize the infamous

traflic which lures thousands of poor wan'.on souls to ruin annually. There is one experiment which should be tried in connection with the regulation of the "Social Kvil." Men should be compelled to take on$ license, or obtain legal permits, to visit houses j)f prostitution. Their sfiv4» -as gwW, that of the vile women and their indc coney should be made as public.

A REM A11KABLE WILL. We have been shown bv a gentleman of this city a manuscript copy oi a very reina. kable will which was made bv Robert l).irne«, of Kvansville, previous 'o his death which occurred on he 4i li of I bis month. The deceased was an old c'tizen of Kvaflsv^Ue.whose property is intimated to baJwSi"th not less 'hnn seven hundred thousand dolrs. He leaves no children end his eir8 by blood nro a niece at Lafayette, and a neobew who Pves in the South. He bequeaths all his prope.-iv, i-eal and personal, to tho Board of Trustees of tho Tndit'na State Association of Spiritualists, in trust, for the purpose of establishing and endowing a college for tho education of "i he poor children of "liberal minded parents, who stand "aloof from all other creeds and secret "associations wha'ever."' He makes provisions by whie'i a portion of his property shall be sold ami invested in bonds, and other pori ons of his real estate improved and leased, to provide an income for the support of this college forever. He enjoins "that no cc"clcsiaa.ie, missionary or minister of "any sect, shall ever hold or exercise "any st ,'ion or du'y wna'noever in "said college, nor shall any such per"sons ever be admitted for any purpose, "or as visitors, within the premises appropriated to the purposes of tho nam "college." lie further adds: "In debarring ministers I do not mean to "oast reflection on any person wh.-.tso-"ever, but as tiiCiO is a n»ul-: ude of "sects, and such adveri of opinions "among them, I desira fo keop the •'tender minds of Mie children who "are to derive advantage from this "bequest free from the cxci.einen 'which clashing doctrines and sec"hiri, :. ouiroversies a«-e so apt lo "produce.

Tim prospects are that tho Bordeaux Assembly will organise a Provisional Republic, with Thiers as President, which will make pe. eo wiih (iermany upon tho terms of Bismarck, afier which the Assembly will adjourn to Paris and submit lo a plebiscite ho quesiion of the iultve form of government. The result of the v/cbiscife will unquestionably be he establishment of a permanent republic or .he restoration of tho Orleans dynasty, with Louis Phill'ppc, Albert D'Orle. ns, Count de Paris, us King. The tf,er result would not astonish rhe world. The people of France are humiliated and sorely distressed, and it is but natural that they should turn to something disconnected entirely with their recent unfor unato si -uggles. if they vote for the restoration they w'll but prolong and intensify the ultimate contest for freedom—a contest which can be deferred, but which must bo met in the end. In accepting monarchy, however, they are not weaker than our exalted American voters would have shown themselves if Lee had taken Washington and captured the army of McClellan, and Bragg h..d demolished our armies in the West, in 1862. In that case Indiana would have voted for a Xo' th Western Confederacy. Wo mention this to prove that ail the weaknesses and inconsistencies of mankind are not peculiar to Hie French people.

SOMB high medical authority has asserted that the average duration of human life is longer now than formerly, and that civililization does not cause physical degeneracy, but tho reverse. If this be true, and Ave do not doubt that it is, it is reasonable to suppose that the humorous developments of this funny age have something to do with tho better digestion and longer lives of men. Unquerfionably linn tor is more common and better appreciated than formerly. There is no better evidence of cultivation and civili '.ation han the ability to appreciate humor.

THOSE gentlemen who fear that woman will become contr.minuted and vile if she is allowed to vote are cited to her influence upon the Held of literature, l'rom which she was once excluded. Who can compare tho reading •mailer of to-day with the liceii'ious lkerslm of a few centuries since without being able to see that its purification can be attribnicd 'o woman Her influence upon the political field, which she will soon enter, will not be less bcneticifl nnd oxiting.

IT is lo be hoped that the day will soon com in the history of American jurisprudenoo when the bullying and hsulling by attorneys of persons who aro so unfortunate as to be witnesses will not be tolera/od in any court of tho land. Respociable citizens havo come to feel iuat they would almost as soon be tried as criminals as to bo examined and cross-examined by a certain class of lawvers.
