TO THE EDITOR.

Sie — Burning indignation will, I venture to assert, fill the minds of all right-thinking people who read the sentiments expressed by " Thorndon " in this evening's Post. Pharisee would be an appropriate rum de plume, for he is evidently one of the selfrighteous whom Christ oame not to call. Does ''Thorndon" for one moment believe that the evil will cease if the poor women in question (and every member of their class throughout the world) were to die at once ? As long as there is demand, there will be supply. Strike at the root of the matter, all right-thinking people— high and low, work together, rind hound out from your society, your publio positions, your churches, all mon (P fiends, loall them) guilty of robbing a girl of her fair name. Let him be as much (nay, more) of an outcast and fallen as now is the victim of his sin. When — and not till then — this is done will this blot and canker-worm in humanity pass away. Whatever these unfortunates now are, once they were young and innocent girls, and their blood be on the heads of those who caused their dishonour. "Thorndon" might have signed his own name while he was abont it, then folks would have had a chance of seeing and knowing this live whited 6epulchre in our midst. I am, &<3., ■ Janb T. Hoaeb.
