The average Englishmen is a snob.
From the Duke 20 the costermonger,
each order Ia this vast series OF
social strata lieks the foot Of the or.
der aboveit The English male IS q
selfish bally. The English woman Is
slave. The warp and woof Of
English society is q sham. But.
while the purse holds out Il IS
resplendant indeed. The bully in
the men makes good soldiers. The
power Of England Is undeniable.
The slave Ia the woman, when she
does not elope, makes excellent
heusewifery. The domestic fabric
Of England Il respectable and order
ly. But the Church, the State, aud
the home. built upon a complex
feudal system, depend upon the
poise and balance of classes Ia the
relation which now exists, and
which, with trifling incidents not
seriously disturbing the personal life
Of England, has existed since Magma
Charta.
As an American I have no right,
and certainly no wish, 70 complain
Of this, or 70 critictse Il. II do not
like It, as do not, / can lump Il.
England was made for Euglishmea.
That with which, Is an American, /
have some concern, Is the influence
of English thought and manners
upon America and Americans, aud
the position and conduct Of certain
Americans who come over here aud
appear in English society. Touch
ing the latter, nothing could be more
ridiculous and offensive.
The more sec OF England and the
English the more / am persuaded Of
the irreconcilable difference between
as and them, and the more odions
seem TO me the affeciaiion and iml-
tation Of Anglicism by the American,
who, having got = glimpse Of the
nobility, would straightway get him
self q coat.oi-arms.
Few sights Ia art or nature can be
more melancholy than that OF the
American woman who has married.
or seeks TO marry, titled English
man. Ifthere be, il is the American
mother who comes abroad and man
nuvres for q titled husband for her
daughters. would have such a
mother whipped at the carts tail
Yet, all through English society you

ONE OF OUR FARMERS.


ssoren Mortensen, a Granger of the
Bottom District, who is Making the
wilderness Blossom.
1t is always a pleasure to note the
prosperity of any Of Yankton county's
citizens. Our rural district represen-
~tative, in his perambulations. notices
evidences of prosperity in the surround
ings of many of Yankton county's farm
ers. On q recent visit into cost Yankton
county he had reason to call at the
large agricultural establishment owned
and operated by Soren
| Mortensen. 1t is situated about sixteen
miles east of Yankton, and south OF
Gayville, on the Missouri bottom. Mr..
Mortensen owns o section of land on
which he has resided for the past fifteen
years. This year he is making some i'm.
proyements which would do credit to
any section of the country. He IS con-
structing a brick residence building,
38x28 in size, three stories and q base.
ment in height, which is being substanti.
ally and c~ommodIously built. A large
frame barn is also under way which Is to
be seventy-two feet long end %thirty-twc
feet wide. Mr.. Mortensen has $50 acres
of fine corn growing and &c acres o
wheat and oats. He has not lost a croI
for the past ten years except in the hoot
OF 1881, at which time everything he hat
was swept away. He has more thar
recovered from that calamity and il
fairly on the road to fortune.
