OUR GIRLS AND BRiTONS.

Why American Maidens Are Tempted to
Wed Stolid Englishmen.
Why does the American girl marry
the Briton? Has she any adequate JUS
tiApation? Do you suppose it pays her,
and can such q choice on her part be
defended on large grounds as promotive
of the greatest good Of the greatest
number? Is it fact, as has been flip
PANTY suggested, that she moves to
England to get country life because we
have no good roads here yet, or, ON the
contrary, can it be demonstrated that
one reason our country roads are SO bad
is that the American girl cannot abide
the country and promptly carries her
man off to town at the earliest moment
that sees his endeavors blessed with
the necessary income? Is it her fault
that country interests tend too much to
fall to the care Of residuum that is
too poor to get away, or has the coun-
try life not much to do one way or the
other with her British propensities?
To be honest, there are other con-
ceivable reasons for marrying an Eng
lish gentleman besides his country
roads. He may be charming gentle
man-they are said to be SO once in
awhile-who can win wife by plain,
personal courtship, and whom any wom-
an would be justified in marrying on
general principles and without specific
excuses, or he may be good "aver-
age" sort Of man whose advantage
over his American brother is matter
of size or complexion or hale appear
ance. have known American women
who ventured to assert that the femi-
nine eye rejoiced more in the type of
male human that treads the pavements
of Piccadilly and Pail Mall than in the
contemporaneous pedestrians Of Fifth
avenue and Broadway.
Or maybe it is his superior stolidity
that electriies in the Briton. It is to
be feared that there is truth in that tale
Mr.. Kipling or somebody was telling
of how phlegmatio merchants Of the
east had discovered that the way to
beat the American was simply to put
him off and let him fret himself reck-
less. Stoli6ity is not quite the same as
repose, but 20 persons who are suffering
from an acute dearth of repose it may
appeal as tolerable substitute, so that
one can imagine an American maid,
worn with the restless aspirations OF
her high pressure countrymen, turning
with sincere relief to pillow her fair
young head upon bosom behind which
lurked no threat of heart failure

Very Romantic,

Wasn't that romantic?'' said the
elderly maiden boarder.
Wasn't what romantic?'' growled
the bachelor boarder, as there was no
one else at the table to pay attention to
the lady's question.

Oftdn my happy dreams Of infancy
A voice was heard in that blest "long ago, ;"
Now rising sweet and clear. then eoft and

In ripping tones Of wondrous melody.
All through my childhood rang that happy
voice,
Which fainter grew, as youth came on apaoe,
Yet echoed on, when, weary of LIES race.

Far from that happy home, yet not alone,

Which fingers, guarding me from every

Conditions in Ohio Make It ES-
pecially Necessary to Avoid
Mistakes.

CHICAGO, Aug. educational Repub-
lican managers are preparing to take
part in the campaigns in half a dozen
states, where local elections are to be
held this fall. Henry G. Payne, ma
tional executive committeeman of Wis.
consin, Charles G. Dawes Of Illinois,
Colonel w. A. Rand Of Wisconsin, E.
V. Smalley Of the National Sound
Money league, George s. Roberts Of
Iowa and S. A. Perkins, private secre-
tary to Senator M. A. Hanna, and as
sistant secretary of the national Repub-
lican committee, are in the city and
two conferences have been held with NJ.
]. Bowling, secretary of the National
Republican league, regarding the policy
OF the various state campaigns, in
which the election Of o United States
senator is at stake.
Two informal conferences have been
held which were participated in by
Henry G. Payne, Colonel Rand, Charles
G. Dawes, President Perkins Of the
College league and Secretary Bowling,
at which Mr.. Dowling's plans for league
work in the various states where state
campaigns are on, were discussed.
Desire No Mistakes in Ohio.
The conference at which the plans of
the league will be determined will take
place as soon as Major Charles Dick of
Ohio, secretary Of the Republican ma.
tional committee, arrives. Mr.. Dick
stands very close to Senator Hanna,
and will represent the national chair.
man in the conference. One feature of
especial moment in the conference will
be the Ohio campaign. The situation
in Ohio is a peculiar one, and it is the
desire Of those high in the councils OF
the party that no mistake shall be made.
What part, if any, the Republican
league will take in the election in Vir.
ginia, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland and
Massachusetts will also he determined
On at the coming meeting.
The question as to the propriety Of
the league renewing the relations with
the national committee, which were sc
effective last year in the national cam
paign, is also an important one. Early
in July, Secretary Bowling and General
McAlpin, who was at that time presi
dent of the league, perfected an ar
rangement with Chairman Hanna
which practically placed the league in
the relative position of an auxiliary Of
the national committee, but under it:
immediate direction. This was done te
avoid any clashing Of purposes, as had
been the case in previous years. 1t i:
considered probable this plan will again
be adopted.

CROPS HAVE HELPED SOME.

President Mckinley Claims Only Part of
the Credit for Prosperity.
New YORK, Aug. PA dispatch
from Hotel Champlain, N. Y, says:
President Mckinley stated that it
should be q source of pleasure to every
American citizen to know that there
was a return of prosperity to the coun.
try.
1.-THE cause of the present boom in
the West" he said, ''is undoubtedly
due in a great measure to the large
crops and high prices caused by the
failure Of crops in other countries, but
the fact that prosperity has set in in the
East cannot be accounted for in any
other way but by the wise policy of the
Republican party in restoring q pro.
tective tariff.
1.-THE present boom is not spasmodic,
but will continue to increase, and not
only the manufacturers, but the people
generally will soon realize that it il
only with q protective tariff and sound
financial principles that the country
will be prosperous and remain in that
condition. With the restoration Of
confidence will come q restoration Of
prosperity" g.
