Is Evgae even now that the average young
Hna8 regards matrimony as something
azs he attained after long and fierce
as1yuggle, a luxury that can be INDUCED
In only by men of means. Who is to
8Earae for this deplorable state ofaffairs?
Almost always the girls. The nine
tssenih century girl knows how to do
gMsat many thugs better than to make
81 happy home. She has no objection
aa washing the dishes and dusting the
Iazlor. in her fathers home, bat the
Hgsszaent, she is married she expects a
servant or two. The house must be as
aKsaly furnished as papa's is, and every
ahsDg must be made elegantly easy.

ia large majority a resolution repudi-

eeaEf 1t means that even in the
sEfreT0e west where the cry for free
EMd unlimited coinage of silver is
aslA q for the loudest, the Republican
f&sty is willing to abide the voice of
lae majority. That split in the Repub-

WA be slow in Undertaking.. The
Republican party is the PARRY OF bmet-

Ta1e renowned Debs of mushroom

AZ MIi He consoles himself with this
Tzaaeation: 81 am safe in saying that
abe majority ofcitizens of the United
isa2iss have recently been seized with
atse utmost contempt for their highest
.iifSi1ial tribunal"
ME- Debs is mistaken. The people of
1isR United States do not favor the sort
ouF Ns@h-law he does. There is no more
Sezssale class than working men them
ssslNa., and Mr.. Debs appeals to their
sg alzssaby in vain.
