C., March 15.?Attorney General Lyon tonight received a check for $11,420 from the American Bonding Com pany, of Baltimore, for the shortage found against James F. Detyens, former treas urer c# Georgetown county, who was found short in his accounts to the extent of $9,647. Detyens was under a bond of $25,000. We wonder If the persons who are try ing to get Col.

There Is much that could >e said along this line, but we should re nember that such trials simply uncover, ,hey do not produce, social conditions. They turn on the light and light is health ful. There are ceroan social evils, which ire corrupting the very 6ouroes of life, but ivhich never come to the surface even for i moment, expert in such revelations as .hat which has come in this Virginia trial. But whether good or evil comes of these revelations depends, at last, wholly upon ;he moral judgments the community pro lounces upon them. There was one feature in the testimony >f the moteer of the unfortunate young wife, which, we think, the public . cannot ifford to let pass unnoticed. It points to in evil about which too little Is said; and ibout which too little Is known by the pub- < lie. This silence and Ignorance would be excusable if the evil lurked only in vile , districts of the city and did not endanger 1 the purest of the most innocent homes. And the egnorance and silence could be the better justified if only a few homes en- ( dangered. But such is npt the case. The dispatches which gave the account or ine testimony of the heart-brokon mother < simply say: "Prosecutor Wendeburg questioned the woman as to her knowledge of the domestic life of the Beatties and brought to the surface a point Intended as relevant to the alleged motive of the mur der, namely, that JBeattie's physical con dition, due to dissipation, had caused much unhappiness to his wife. In these veiled words reference is made | to a disease and an evil the extent of , which, if we are to believe the testimnoy of the whole medical profession, is certain ly appalling. In conversation with physi cians recently we were amazed beyound all measure to be told that by the very i lowest estimate eighty-five per cent, of the men folk of this country are or have been contaminato; and somo physicians think that ninety-five per cent, is nearer the truth. If the effects of these horrible dis ? a J?u^li ? enses were uuuuuvu wuvuj w tuc h lui u^ they would ba even then too awful to con template; but we are dealing with an evil that can be transmitted in its loathsome ness to a man's innocent offsping. Who can think of such a thig without a shudder? But by far the most astounding thing we learned in our conversation with the phy sicians?it is almost unbelievabl?is that the profession estimates that about eigh ty-five per cent, of the surgical operations on the innocent wives of America has been caused by this unnamable evil! And what is being done to protect socie ty and the home that is to be, the young bride and tin unborn chrildren? The answer is. nothing, absolutely nothing in many States. What can be done? Much in every way. Above all, the be strtuction of the double standerd. Aut also the State should refuse to issue a marriage license to a man who is less entitled to ft than a rotting leper.
