reasonably pretty, and that is suffi-
cient. Those who can afford it may use
rich fabrics; others can content themselves
with cheaper stuffs; and there need be no
heart-burnings. No necessity exists for uni
!formity; but if that be desirable recourse
can be had to the generally used and not ex-
travagant tarlatan. But do not compel the
girls to hide their beauty in calico, which is
usually ugly and never appropriate to the oc.
casion. There is no more reason why a
girl should graduate in than why she should
marry in calico. This cry that goes up
for calico and cotton is not from the
parents of INDECENT students. They do not
hesitate at little sacrifice on graduation
day. Some rich father who is presented
with a fashionable bill from a fashionable
dress-maker, and whose pocket.book is suffer-
ing temporary collapse, cries out against ex-
travagance and the school costumes that de-
mand it. TIE cry goes from him to the
newspapers. He forgets about it in half an
hour. They ring the changes on it through
the year.
The whole question is one that should be
diligently let alone. 1t will easily adjust
ITSELF If some inexpensive material cannot
be fashioned into pretty costume, then the
domestic economy, and not the custom of

Governor Hayes Letter.

Governorj Hayes letter of acceptance is
simply admirable. 1t is declaration of po-
litical principles which will meet hearty re-
sponse from the great mass of Republican
voters in the country. 1t is manly and out

election. Accepting the platform of the Ma
tional Republican Convention, Coz. Hayes
has made prominent those portions which he
and, it may be added, the mass of the Repub-
Iican party, deem most essential to the high
est interests OF the nation, viz: A civil ser.
vice in which 'honesty, capacity and fidel-
ity'' are the only qualifications for office, an

step Backward the complete protection of
all classes of citizens in their political and
civil rights, constitutional amendment
which will place the common school system
beyond the reach of sectarian interference
and make its benefits free to all, and policy
which will restore harmony to all sections of
the country.

The sheriff who let Boss Tweed slip
through his open fingers is hurrahing for
Tlden. The ''Reform" Governor proclaimed
his purpose to dismiss the sheriff for letting
Tweed escape. But he never did it, and the
faithless official is Tilden worker.
The New York Express says: No paper
fought Gov. Tilden so fiercely, before his
nomination, as our sprightly contemporary,
the Kansas City Times. 1t now falls into
line with the rest of us, and takes its crow
thus philosophicaly: "M'yum, yum, yum; it
is good crow, very good crow, and remarka-
bly, we'll served up"
