A Warning to Bachelors.

The signs of the times indicate that possibly bachelors may ere long be dis lodged from the selfish position they have so long occupied with impunity. Various aggressive plans of campaign against this heartless section of the community are being agitated with a view to giving them the force of law. One is to impose 8 prohibitive tax on bachelorhood. Bills to effect this ob- ject have actually been introduced in some legislatures. Another plan is to make marriage compulsory, and still another is to make bachelors ineligible to any political office. We do not know whether these schemes have all been originated by women or by men who have taken chances in the marriage lot tery and cannot stand it to witness the free and untrammelled happiness oi their brothers, who have not. Anyway bachelors had better be on their guard.
