Style in London.

Correspondence Chicago Tribune.
Crinolne is once more coming into
fashion; the dreadful iron hoops have
already made their appearance in that
otherwise irreprehensible city, and are
becoming more in number and greater
in circumference every day. The i'm
portation to this country, under these
circumstances, is only u question of
time. Perhaps by next season the fe-
male devotees of Ia Mode will have
succumbed to a fashion not less strik-
ing than the shOrt-waisted gowns and
large bonnets of our grandmothers.
But fashion is not unkind to the fairer
sex alone. The word has gone forth
that gentlemen's evening coats must
have baggy sleeves. The aspect of a
certain portion of the audience on the
first night of "The Mighty Dollar" Sc
riously impressed me that, although
Turkish trowsers might be all very
well in their proper place, they were
certainly not very becoming on the
arms of a gentleman in full dress. Still,
as u young man confides to me, "it
shows that a fellow is able to afford a
dress coat every season, which the
waters cannot" The back of the
coat, too, used to be cut low, the collar
turning down to show collar and scarf
behind. Reaction has set in, and now
the collar is high, mounting up to the
very back of the head, until enduring
nature can bear no more. Here, also
is a modern revival reminding us Of
the cut that was in vogue when oul
grandfathers and grandmothers had
their likenesses taken in silhouette,

ment stand ready to issue all the cur
rency any business man wishes, and can
give good security for, at low interest
and convertible into long bonds. Make
greenbacks legal-tender for all purposes,
customs and all government dues in
cluded. There is every reason why
this should be done. History is re-
peating itself. England never knew
more prosperous years than from 1900
to 1920, during which she neither had
gold nor wished to have it, nor prom
ised to pay gold to any one whatever.
All that while she extended and con-
tracted her currency without any re-
gard whatever to gold. Her enormous
trade and expenditures were all paper
and only paper, resting on credit and
nothing else. We had similar pros
perity during the war and after on the
same terms, In 1920 England, yield
ing to theorists and dreamers, tried to
put this new wine into old bottles, and
dragged her business back to methods Il
century old-to specie. Bankruptcy,
the very history of which makes the
blood cold to-day, blighted the empire.
1t took half u generation to recover
from the mistake.
No man can to-day begin to show
that such suffering was necessary; that
it achived any good or that it affected
any changes which could not have been
as well made without it. We entered
that same valley of the shadow of
death when in 1865 McCulloch began
contraction. We were hurrying fast to
England's 1920; property sunk to half
its former value; the streets crowded
with unemployed men fast rotting into
criminals; grass growing on the
wharves; machinery rusting; wealth
alarmed; poverty starving. Woe to
the political party which the nation
shall finally pronounce responsible for
this fatal mistake. NOprevious merits
will avail for its pardon. Its leaders
will he buried in curses, as men whom
neither history nor their own expert
ence could make wise.
We lament, as well we may, the wide
spread corruption of business men and
Ollce-holders. But where such cOrrup-
ton in high places steals dollar, con-
traction-this well-meaning ignorance
of bulliOmists -- robs the people of
thousands. If this generation is ever
bankrupt, its bankruptcy will not be
the work of knayes, but of honest men
following Il jack-o'lantern and dragging
us to ruin.

spcct. But, my dear editor, is he Il
cheerful man? DO his later works
show Il better hope, Il more buoyant
spirit, greater faith in man and in his
destiny. than those of his early man
hood? His friends tell us that he has
been prey to Indigestion all his days,
and that he is the farthest possible
from being gay or iocmd His last
notable utterance, entitled, Niagara

of despair, and. as to his comments
upon the late war for secession, was
there anything ever written by great

Goethe drank freely Of the light

mans do, but he was free from the

dislike of it. Voltaire, temperate in
all else except work. was a snuff
taker, and had one of the prettiest
snuff boxes in Europe. Both of them

That the great campaign now upon

title-the legal aspect Of removing the court
house from its present location. The opinion OF
Mr. Mayo, prepared some time ago. was cited,
wherein he concluded that the court house could
not be removed without an enabling act, since
the legislature had once fixed the location. In
this opinion Judge Leland has said he concurred
so far as his inquiry into the matter enabled
him to form an opinion. He is understood to
have gone over the same ground as hau MI
Mayo. Mr.. Armstrong differed, recitlng many
facts in connection with the building OF the
present house The land was given by the state
to the county to aid the county III erectlhg ils
public buildings, the law saying that the puiiu-
ing should be erected on the public square north
of the Illinois river At the time the site was
chosen there was no public square, out Tue
block on which IL is located had been laid out IN
lots nv the canal commissioners, and before the
site was chosen the people generally were IN
vited and came to consult the county commits
sioners as to the location, MIR. A. saying his
first speech was made at that meeting. After
the people went home the commissioners select
ed the site, sold half the block and other lands
in East Ottawa and elsewhere, given Tor the
purpose at the same time, and erected the court
house However, some of the committee argued
the case Of Cook county, which was given size
at the same time and which, with the Ottawa
and other court houses, is mentioned in the ACT
of 1881, that county applying for an enaolihg
act to remove the court house after the fire OF
1871, which was refused and the building erect
cd on the old site. Others thought that whIIe
under the present law Ito say nothing OF the
restrictions of the past acts) the Board might
have the power to remove, they could see no
good reason for begging Il lawsuit and conse-
ouent delay in building by an attempted re.
moyal, when perfect title to lot already
known as the court house site was had, which
was sufficiently large for the purpose. How
ever, the entire subject will be presented in full in
~ the report, embodying the acts of the legislature
and commissioners in locating the present
house.
On Tuesday Mr. Furness showed the com
mittec plans for the building,-one for the pres
ent lot including Jail, costing about Sl4oooo'
another, for the same location, or suitable ior
either of the others mentioned, without JAIL
for about Sl25, 900. The plans are for neat
stone building, pleasant to the eye architecture
ally, but without any unnecessary ginger
bread work" fire proof, with ample rooms for
present courts, etc. 1t was suggested by Mr.
Flaherty that provision should be made for a
future probate court and also criminal court,
the county beng now, under the constitution,
entitled to Probate Judge an officer distinct
from the County Judge, should the people de-
sire to make two officers instead OF having tbs
business done by one Judge as now. These
points will be considered, no doubt, and noticed
