ROMANTIC MARRIAGES.


The Usual Result OF Young People Ignoring
MAserial CSiditioi.
Marriage in the old world Is gener.
ally a matter OF arrangement; is con-
1ucted, more or less financially, on the
basis of what is called common sense.
Marriage usually results in the new
world from personal affinity, from SONS
intense form of emotionalism, indie
pendent of material conditions or IA
voring circumstances. We Americans
are more romantic, connubially. than
any people under the sun. We arc
gradually growing less so as the repub'
lie ages; but we are still inclined to
consult 6dr feelings rather than our
reason in choosing mates.
Romance is an excellent thing in
:latrimony, but it may be carried too
far in determining the question. When
it survives matrimony, and Is found to
be a large Ingredient in its composition
after years of continuance, it is as
beautiful as it is commendable. 1t is
greatly enjoyed by the married, and
warmly admired by their intimates.
But, as a rule, the less dominant ro-
nance is in making match, the larger
Young persons will seldom believe
this, however, and they have to learn
it, therefore, by painful experience.
They declare that they love, and love
is, in their partial opinion, sufficient
warrant for any conjugal enterprise,
even 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 Wis
ion.
They obstinatcly refuse to accept as
true the assurance that wedloek must
depend for its outcome on prosaic facts
and figures; that it belongs as much to
arithmetic as to sentiment; that love
itself may not always Withstand pinch
ing perjury and the trials it begets.
Those who would tell them so are pro-
nounced doubters and cynics, and their
warnings pass like the breeze. Alas!
how many couples have discovered,
when too late, what terrible prophets
those doubters and cynics have proved
to be! They would not heed when they
should have needed, and the time has
passed for regrets and contritions.
But there are always new couples as
confident and as obdurate as the old,
and there will be while the years go
on. Such couples are convinced beyond
refutation that hearts and pulses that
leap together are an earnest of the fu-
ture, and a solid ground for co-Opera-

nobody has discovered that the trusts

Once the house set out quite gayly to
draw up tariff bill, and the demo-
Gratis assembled on the capitals high
hill. Mr. Wilson and McMillin and
the other democrats cut the duties
down on diamonds, carpets, coal and
Persian cats; took the duty off of
sugar. slapped higher one on rice,
tinkered with the tariff question till
they all felt gay and nice: sent the bill
on to the senate, happy DER their
work and glad. but they found some
how or other that no trusts were feel
ing bad.
For the big trusts owned the senate,
owned it body, mind aud soul, and
they put the tariff measure in a
dusty pigeon hole. Then the trusts
drew up tariff that was just what
they desired, and the democratic sem
ate merely stood by and admired. The
republicans protested, but their pro-

WHAT a BABY DID.
1t Nearly Got It's Mother Into Jail, But
Got Her Out Again.

Got Her Out Again.
Here is q rather pretty story which
Is vouched for by London journal,
showing how a small baby once got his
mother into serious difficulties and
then made amends by getting her out
of them again. 1t seems that a poor
seamstress with a child in her arms
was tried for the theft of three gold
coins She said in defense: Il went to
my employers house on business. |
carried my child in my arms as it is
now; was not paying attention to it.
There were several gold coins on the
mantelpiece, and, unknown TO me, it
stretched out its little hand and seized
three pieces, which / did not observe
until got home. / at once put on my
ployer to return them when | was ar
rested. This is the solemn truth, as
hope for Heavens mercy"
The court could not believe this
story. They upbraided the mother for
her impotence in trying TO palm off
such a falsehood for the truth. But
she SO pertinaciously asserted her limo
cence that a novel experiment was
made ia her favor. One of the officials
proposed to renew the scene described
by the mother. The gold coins were
placed on the clerks table. The moth
CT was requested to resume the posi-
ton in which she stood at her employ
er's house. There was a breathless
pause in court. The baby soon discov-
cred the small coins, eyed them for a
moment, smiled and then clutched
them in his fingers with a miser's
eagerness. The mother was at once ac-
quilted.

succeed, after all, in agreeing upon a
bill which will please all factions of
the democratic party and all the special
and sectional interests which the dem
CORA is are inclined to favor.
From all this it appears to be plain
that the democrats do not know what
they want. Furthermore, il is appar-
ent that they haven't much of an idea
what the tariff reform, about which
they have talked since 1854, is like.
People who had supposed that the de-
sire to smash protection represented a
fixed and settled democratic policy
will be compelled to admit that they
were mistaken. Present events at
Washington lead to the conclusion
that the democrats advocated tariff re-
form simply for the purpose of array
ing one man against another and of
winning votes for the democracy, aud
when they had won a victory upon
that issue they found themselves ut
terly unable to formulate and carry
out the policy they had advocated.
The democrats have succeeded in
demonstrating their incapacity when
entrusted with power, and they have
fully proved that the democracy is a
party of false pretenses They have
accomplished nothing more.-Cleve-
land Leader.
