Tenperanoe Convention.

A mass temperance meeting is called
to meet at the old opera house, Great
Bend, on next Wednesday evening,
July 9th, to select IL delegates to a
state convention to be held at Topeka
on the 18th. All temperance people
throughout the county are invited to
come and assist in furthering the plans
of few chronic republican manipula-
tors, who, knowing that the old ring is
about to 60 Under, hope to enlist the
prohibitionists in their cause by getting
up hip and hurrah down at Topeka
on the 18th. We venture the prediction
that there win be, among the persons
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1890-07-03

taking an active part in the meeting
on the 9th, men who never lose an
opportunity to take drink when away
from home, and who ''chip inn and get
their liquor in original packages almost
every week of their lives.
We do not say that all persons who
will take part in that meeting are that
sort; we know there are prohibitionists
who are not hypocritical; are not
getting up enthusiasm for party or
policy; but Ralph Easley and his crowd
are not the latter class. Watch the
meeting OH the. 9th, and spot the
hypOcrits.

BACHELORS In WASHINGTON.

Unmarried Young Men Can Have Good
Time at the Capital.
'1f [ were a young bachelor-more
particularly poor young bachelor
would certainly live nowhere else than
in Washington, said society matron
the other evening. Gin this town a
young man; unencumbered matrimonial
~, occupies singularly desirable posi-
ton. Of course, bachelors are in de-
mand, socially speaking, everywhere,
but nowhere so much so as at the Ma
tional capital. Thus it happens that
any passably agreeable youth is sure to
have life made very pleasant for him.
1t is not accustomed to be said here of a
poor young man that he is 'detri-
mountaineering that he is merely a
fellow without the money necessary to
render him an available parti, and at the
same time sufficiently attractive to keep
off practicable suitors. Indeed, as you
are very we'll aware, there are
scarcely any young men who go
out in Washington society that
are not poverty-stricken. There
fore discrimination on that score is out
of the question. One must have young
men at ones parties, you know, or else
the girls would not have any sort of a
time. The situation is an unfortunate
one from some points of view, but what
are you going to do about it?"
Nothing that 1 can see," said the
writer to whom the lady was speaking.
But don't exactly see why the young
men should be poorer in Washington
than anywhere e1se.''
Don't you? Why, it's very simple. In
he r1o Sc
which young men can make a living,
unless in the hopeless situation of de-
partment clerks, where they literally
dare not seek advancement beyond a
certain point lest their places should be
sufficiently desirable to make it worth
while for the first new Administration
to grab them. Most of the men one
meets here, more especially the unmar-
ried ones, are in Uncle Sans employ.
Then, again. the rich people who come
here, while they always bring their
daughters with them, very seldom fetch
their sons-partly because Washington
is generally imagined to be dissipated
city. So. to sum up, few young
men come here, and those native to
the place who do not go elsewhere to
seek their fortunes, usually remain
poor-too poor, indeed, to venture upon
matrimony. Thus you observe the
spectacle of a society in which the
young women greatly outnumber the
young men, and the latter are, general
~ speaking, not available for marriage.
The anomaly of the situation is rather
aggravated than otherwise by the fact
that SO many of the girls are rich,
either actually or in prospect, and,
though things might be fixed delight
fully by the rich girls marrying the
poor men, things do not go that way. I
have heard it said that $50, 600, 600 worth
of prettiness in petticoats was some
times seen at once in a single Washing
ton ballroom, and shouldn't wonder if
it were true. But the men, poor as they
are, are SO few as to be priced as rari-
ties, and the result is that they are the
worst-spoiled lot of young fellows have
ever seen. They are apt to have an ex-
cessive notion of their importance."-
