like rnuff. We have got an old black cat, too.

PROTEST OF THE CONSERVATIVE

 dency to Change.

Let the conservative cry out as he will against our giving up the good old hostlery with it's clean beds, clean linen, and clean food for the glittering attentions of the latest $5,0O0, ,0O0-ho- tel We needs must love the newest when we see it. The order of our pres ent life is that landlords, cooks and chambermaids shall all the time be making place for other landlords, cooks and chambermaids. Our hotels are under new management our poli- tics and business affairs are under new management-at least th"v are not under the old management. Our nls are no longer under the man. asement of teachers and philosophers, but of yellow editors; our religions are no longer under the management of prophets and priests, but of neurot- ic women, traAaed advertisers, and solid business corporations. And the poor wayfarer, worn out by the con- tinuous din and hustle of this world, is fast losing even the consolation he once had, of looking forward to an unbroken succession of pleasant days and dreamless nights-under a new management-New York Post.
