About dozen or 80 of Ameri-
can heircsses who have married in
to the foreign ''nobility" because
of their money, appear to be deep
in marital troubles and number
of them are seeking the divorce
courts for relief. Very few if any
Of such marriages have turned ont
happy. The foreign duke, or
count or lord comes here and intl-
mates that he is ready, for Il suf-
cient pecuniary consideration, to
unite himself legally in marriage
with IL daughter of America, the
latter dazzled with the notion of
social position such an alliance Of
fers puts up herself and her money
against this offer, and gets the
worst of the bargain, of course.
The man rogardsSthe woman as an
undesirable adjunct to the money
he needs. Born and bred in an
atmosphere rocking with an i'm
mortality, for which the foreign
nobility has become notorious, the
man soon displays the inherent in
stincts of his immoral nature in
liasions with the woman of his own
class. His wife he holds phleb-
ian, though. she is by every
trait that cbaracterizes gcntieness
and good breeding his superior,
and by neglect and abuse shows
her that he holds her beneath his
social level, or The social Icve! Of

COUNTY nERUBLICHN DY


Notwithstanding it being an
off year, when a heavy decrease
from the vote of two years ago
was expected, Washington county
came forward last Tuesday by
polling one of the heaviest votes in
its history. The Democrats made
light gains in some parts of the
county, but generally the Repub
Iicans haye held their own and
have carried the county by a larger
majority than they have ever had
in an off year.
Unfortunately the Republican
voters here have not entirely uban-
doned their scratching proclivity

Quite number of our Demo-
cratic exchanges have in the last
week or two made sarcastic re-
marks upon the alleged deficit of
SCI, 900 in the United States sub
treasury lat St. Louis, implying
that this was but sample of Re
publican rascality; yet down in an
Arkansas county, in state where
practically none but Democrats
are ever elected to office, almost
the entire official force of the coun-
ty was indicted for stealing $45,-
900 of the public funds. Our
Democratic friends will not, of
course, have anything to say about
this specimen of Democratic ras
cality.
