A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.
The Modern Young Englishman and His
American Cousin.


There is certainly great change"
said midlle-agcd woman of society,
between the young Englishman of my
time and the young Englishman Of to-
day. When | was a girl an English
man was considered the hest type of a
good-looking, well-bred bien soigne,
manly young man among my set of
girls. and in our secret hearts we con-
sidered him quite superior 10 our Amer
lean brothers: but now it is quite diff
ferent. To be sure, there is still the
craze for everything English, but il is
Cor titles, places, manners and GUS
toms, and not for the Englishmen
themselves. Whether il is that the
latter have gone off in late years, or
whether our own youths are improv
ing immensely, do not know; but !
was quite struck with the difference
between the past and the present when
hearing my daughter comment the
other day upon the physical difference
between the American young men and
the Englishnen of her acquaintance.
"'liow can you say, mamma she ex-
claimed, Indignantly, that English
men are better looking and better
''groomed" than our own men? Most
Of the specimens | have seen of the
British youth have been wretched lit
tie scrubs. Now, just go over in your
mind the Englishmen that have been
over here for the last two or three
ysars-and certainly the travelled man
must be the best exponent of the leis-
ure elass-and tell me if you think they
compare favorably with my brother
and his friends?

Sometime last week, the state
council of the American Protective
Association of the State of Kansas
made application to the secretary Of
state for a charter. This is an anti
Catholic organization, the members
of which are bound by a solemn oath
or obligation never to reveal its busi-
ness not even the names Of their Off
GERS and members. Under the stat
utes of Kansas there seems to be no
provision made for chsrtering an or
ganizstion for the purposes named
in their proposed charter. Secretary
Osborn very properly refused to file
the charter without submitting it to
the attorney general for an opinion
as to whether an organization can be
chartered which has for its object the
persecution Of any religious body or
denomination, which would conflict
not only with the constitution of the
state of Kansas but the constitution
of the United States, both of which
guarantee religious liberty to people
Of every creed.
From what we can learn Of this
organization it appears to be only
another republican scheme to so-
complish a partisan purpose and we
advise Populists to steer clear of it
until they understand It's objects thor
oughly. There is no danger of church
and state being united in this coun-
try. Don't let our enemies divide us
politically in such perilous times as
these.

The honest home seekers who had

lands, protested against the strip
lands being open in that way. But
the Harrison crowd had their plans
laid and would not hear to anything
different. After they had fixed to
steal everything in sight, along come
the Cleveland fellows who step into
the official positions the change of
administration compelled their pred
ecessors to vacate. Now it is q mat
ter of experience against official
backing, and the bona Jfde home
seeker Is at the tail end of the process
