Brother Moorman Don’t Favor Exchange of Cash for Title.

Starke County Republican. American pork fell off several points last week when the infant daughter of Millionaire Gould was married off to Lord Decies, an English renegade of royal extraction. Decies is past forty-five and his bride just past seventeen—just out of infancy, that’s all. Decies is a degenerate of the worst stripe, although some sort of an effort has been ma’de by the 400 of New York' to clothe him with decency. How amazing and how everlasting disgusting a thing it is for our American girls to seek marriage alliances with the nobility of the old world. If it were not that the fortune hunters beyond the waters were as poor as paupers they would not nod their heads to these title-hunting girls of ours, and at that, nothing less than the favorite daughter of a millionaire can win a glance from these pigeon-toed scions of degeneracy. Yearly the crop of husband-hunters increases on this side. Anything for a Duke or a Lord for a husband, is the slogan of our heiresses. They ransack over Europe for a pantalooned specimen of nobility, and when they find him they pursue him with a persistency worthy a better cause. Think of it again, a little girl just past seventeen, married off to an impecuneous, diseased, blockheaded scion of English nobility! The name of Gould has lohg been an honored one in New York. Henceforth it should be as a stench in the nostrils of every American citizen.
