Are Romantic Marriages Prudent
Marriage in the old world is general
ly matter Of arrangement; is conduct
ed. more or less financially, on the bas-
Is of what is called commoh-sense.
Marriage usually results in the; New
World from personal affinity, from
some intense form of emotionalism, in
dependent of material conditions or
:avoring circumstances. We Ameri-
cans are more romantic, connubially,
than any other people under the sun.
We are gradually less so as the repub-
lie ages, but we are still inclined to
consult our feelings rather than our
ceason in choosing mates.
Romance is an excellent thing in ma
trimony, but it may be carried too far
In determining the question. When it
survives matrimony, and Is found to be
4 large ingredient in it's composition
after years Of continuance, it is as
beautiful as it is cOmmendable. It is
greatly enjoyed by the married, and
warmly admired by their intimates.
But, as ar ule, the less dominant ro-
nance is in making match, the larger
is its influence after sobriety has set
n. Young persons will seldom believe
his, however, and they have to learn
lit therefore by painful experience.
They declare that they love, and love
is, in their partial opinion, sufficient
warrant for any conjugal, enterprise,
Ieven in the face of the most adverse
fortune. Where love is. faith and hope
are. and to the three combined every
thing desired is possible, and most
things certain. They are In a state of
ecstasy, and the hard world Is moulded
and mellowed by their enraptured vis-
ion.
They obstinately refuse to accept az
true the assurance that wedlock must
depend for its outcome on prOsiac facts
and figures; that 1t belongs as much to
arithmetic as to sentiment; that love
tself may not always withstand pinch
ing penury and trials 1t begets., Thos,
who will tell them SO are prOnOunced
doubters and cynics, and their warn
ings pass like the breeze. Alas! how
many couples have discovered, whel

They would not heed when they should

Hon. Ed. Little, e1-consul general
to Egypt addressed three political meet
ings in Trego county last week, Friday
evening at Collyer, Saturday afternoon
in this city and Saturday evening at
Ogallah. Mr.. Little is an entertaining
speaker and tells of the customs of the
people OF Egypt. He found in that
country three of the cardinal principles
OF the pop party, viz: A single land tax.
government ownership of railroads and
free trade are more carried out than in
any country on earth, and as result
the railroad rates are higher than here
and the people the poorest Of any on

Pop speakers complain that Republi-
cans attend their meetings and even
have the amazing effrontery to record
the things said by them This is con-
elusive evidence that their statements
concerning local candidates are untrue.
Otherwise they could have no cause for
complaint. Voters will not be deceived
by personal accusations made when the
accused have no friends present to de-
fend them. Populist voters are honest
and believe in fair play. They can be
deceived no longer They realize that
Republican speakers are making 10 per-
sonal attacks upon opposing candidates
either publicly or privately. Voters
know that Republican candidates invite
the fullest investigation of their official
conduct past and present and they will
not be deceived by any statements to
the contrary. All such statements are
untrue. They are made for the purpose
of political deception and they are not
made where the speaker supposes that
the Republican candidates have friends
to report them. That they have such
friends clearly proves that populist
school house campaigners deceive them
selves only.

treated with contempt by every fair
minded citizen? Our candidates have
all lived here too long and are too well
known to be injured by these we'll

In some respects the present cam

this state since the early days of bloody
Kansas warfare, but be it said to the
credit of the Republican party that
nearly every charge of gross mismanage-

sprung from within the ranks of the
populists themselves. Mrs. Lease, SEN
ator Taylor, Cyrus Corning, Ben Clover
and Ben Henderson are only few OF
the leading populists who have told
some of the things that they know are
rotten in Denmark" If the charges
against the administration were confn-
ed to incompetency it might be excused
or overlooked on the ground of inexper-
fence, and the charitable people Of the
state would be inclined to look with
lienency on mistakes OF the head ii the
heart were not in it; but "by the
mouths of two witnesses shall all things
