to become of all the delightful triumphs of
bellehood if such an unylelding system OF
pairing off Jacks and Jills ID insisted upon.
A suspicious world has accused young
women of ENJOYING the society of the op-
poste sex in proportion as they monopo-
,lized more of it than their share. Is it pos
sible that this suspicion is unfounded?
The worst feature is yet to be revealed:
Whenever girl wearies of the company OF
her appointed devotee she sends card Of
release to the secretary of the association,
and the youth is free to look about him and s!
choose another shrine. But how pitiful is
the plight of this secondhand cavalier!
He has not even written recommendation
to rely upon, and in short time he becomes
social outcast. Contrast this with the
usual condition of the unattached young
man, who, unless hepelessly undesirable,
holds always the golden apple, ready to
play the part of Paris over and over again.
With such grave unconstitutional defects
it is TO be feared that the Young Ladies
Protective association, although an inter
.esting and well-meaning body, will never
| celebrate It's 100th anniversary.

PROTECTION.

He sat at the door at MONDAY
Lonely and glum and sad;
Brooding over the price of his corn crop,
And figuring how much he had
He had worked from early springtime,
Early and late and hard;
And now he was counting his assets
And figuring out his reward.
He figured that it took two acres
To buy his two boys new boots:
And ten acres more on top of this
To fit them out in new suits.
To buy his wife a protected dress
Took n hun irl bushels more,
While five acres went in Il solid lump
For the carpet on the floor.
His taxes and his grocery bills
Absorbed his crop of oats,
While the interest on his farm mortgage
Took all his fattencd shoats.
The shingles for his COW sheds,
And the lumber for his bara,
Had eaten up his beef steers
And the balance of his corn.
So he sat at his door at MONDAY,
Lonely ard sad and sore,
He hal ii cured his wealth, little less
Than it WIS the year before.

A SWEETHEART TRUST.

Pennsylvania Girls Form Young Ladies'
Protective Association.
The ruling powers which settled very
early in the world history that it was wise
to make the little god of love totally blind,
must be outraged beyond expression at the
recent action of the young women of Ger
tain Pennsylvania town, says Kate Field =
Washington letter. They have looked aboUt
them and observed the uncertainties to. b
encountered in the matrimonial market,
and straightway applying that sovereign
cure for all modern evils-co- operation
have formed Young Ladies' Protective
association.
The theory is that many unhappy mar
riages are caused bv the ignorance of the
contracting parties concerning the charac-
ter and habits of the other. This they en-
deavor to remedy by holding regular
monthly meetings, at which are submitted
reports of the social. moral and financial
status of every eligible bachelor IN town.
If one of these gentlemen show signs of Il
special interest IN member of the society
his case is referred to a committee, who give
his record a still more thorough inveStiga-
ton. A minute account of their discoveries
is given to the me mber most concerned, and
she is then free to encourage the young gen.
tleman'S advances in all certainty that he
is worthy of her regard, or to repulse them
with the full approval of her conscience and
the knowledge that he deserves such cruelty.
1t is violation of the rules of the society
for member to receive the attentions of
any man whom it has placed under its ban.
This does not apply to the consideration of
poverty, however, which is very properly
decided to be the young woman own af-
fair. If, after due warning, she is willing
to do without candy and roses and to go to
the theater in a street car. it is not the bust
ness of the others to interfere. Womer
more than 35 years old are not permitted II
Join the association. Whether the hypothe
sis is that they should by that time be abls
to form Il correct opinion without assist
ance, or whether the girls think that at 30
woman should overlook little defects o
manner or temper which might justly offent
sweet IL, is not stated.
The trouble with the plan is that
sweeps away the most valued privileges o
both sexes. No young man may pay atten
ton to more than one girl at time. and
though no similar restriction is place.

The Educational Features OF the
Union.


An essay read before the Douglas County ALI.
ance JAM IL, 1900,
In presenting this paper TO you to-day
sisters and brethren, II is not my lnten-
tlon to bring before you one half the fea-
lures Of the Alliance as an educator, but
In the rush and hurry OF other business,
we have neglected that part Of our work
At this place, 80 have concluded TO make
beginning hoping that others may fol-
low with papers on this, and other sub
iects 80 that we may become educated In
the matters that so nearly concern our
temporal welfare.
! believe that the educational part Of
our work Is the most important Of all, be-
cause upon that depends oil the rest, and
heretofore In our county meetings, the
regular routine Of business has consumed
all the time. We have never had lect-
ure, or addres, or even paper read on
any matter Of interest, pertaining to our
work. Now.thls ought not 30 to be, hence
we offer few suggestions, hoping that
by some means we may remedy this de-
feet
/ have said that we have consumed all
our time in other business, and you may
say all the other business had 10 be done.
True, but do you not know that II is pos
sible for us to do all the business we do
at every meeting ID one half the time we
take to do 1t, II we knew just what we
wanted to doY Then right here Is where
we will begin, for while we are learning
to econOmize, let us not forget TO econO-
mize closely In time.
First, let us have regular hour for
meeting; second, let us meet precisely at
that hour; then half hour ought to suf-
fee for the reading Of the minutes, Gre
dentlals, seating the delegates, etc. We
should be fully ready for business in
q half hour after the meeting is called to
order The delegates should know just
what they want to bring before the meet
ing. A good way would be to have a
note book with the order Of business In II,
then place what your Sub Union requires
and the business you wish to transact In
the order to which 1t belongs, and when
such business Ia called for, have It attend
cd 10; then there will be no confusion on
loss Of time, caused by going back to for
gotten business.

ChhhA thAt are growing about the farm
ers alliance, that spend more for cigars,
tobacco and other little Indulgences than
many farmers spend for the support Of
their whole family.
What we do, we do In self defense
with "malice toward none, but remem-
ber that we arc going TO make a fight
for our homes, our families, and what we
honestly believe to bo the general good
OF the laborlng classes; and II II becomes
necessary that we have to do our selves
what you ought to do for US, wo will do

The farmers and laborors are the ones
who have made this country what II is,

gogues and class Legislation have made IL

and we will bulld'up your cities, on up

mand "equal and exact justice for all
and special privileges to none." Ia this

wrong any oneH II is for this that we
are organizlngj not to,tear down, but to
build up.
The cities Of fthe state would just as we'll
recognize the fact that In our prosperity
alone lies their success. We want these
homes and we donot propose to be driven
from them at the command Of the money
power andhave our places filled with the
tenants of other countries under the gulse

device Of corporate or monopolistlc greed.
We demand that our families enjoy the
benefits Of the labor of our hands and
that they be not sent out as wanderers up

II Is this power that for years has
made Of politics a stagnant pool, the
scum and corruption Of which always
comesto tho top and gains recognition.
No wonder the Alliance Cschews this
latter day politics. No wonder Il has no
use for political parties. A party Ia its
Infancy while pure may serve AgOod

Into a machine by which tho strong can

It's almost past bellefand yet II Is alb.
solutely true, | suppose, that a western
senator has had either the greatness Of
gall, or littleness Of brain, to say publicly
In the United States senate within the
past few days that the indebtedness Of
the people was absolute proof Of their
great prosperity, and it was source Of
great comfort to eastern senator's, who
said that II would be great injustice after
borrowing their hard earned money,
much Of which belonged to widows and
orphans, TO increase the circulating
medium and pay them back In money
less valuable.
We heard much Of the "poor widow"
stuff when the infamous laws and policies
were being formulated that are grinding
us down to poverty. When the $50
bonds came due and it was proposed to
pay them In greenbOcks, as the law un-
der which they were issued required,
that same "poor widow" howl went UP.
When the shylocks demanded that the
greenbacks be burnt up and gold bearing
bonds Issued In their place under the
thin device that the credit OF the govern
ment needed strengthening and that too,
after the war was over and the debt was
being paid by millions. The voice Of o.
p. Morton, Logan, Thurman and many
other honest statesman was raised In
warning Of such infamous legislation.
But their voice was drowned in the fierce
howl OF the hired tools of monopoly who
famed the flame Of partisan strife and
sectional hate and whose mouths were
mortgaged TO monopoly and they had to
make them pay the debt.
