marred the effect Of their beauty. In the
street and in the house, in full dress and In
their ordinary robes, women meekly wore
the chains Of their bondage to an ungrace-
full fashion. They were not free and inde-
pendent beings with individual tastes and
varying demands, but slaves to laws OF
dress which took little heed OF their special
charms, or made small allowance Tor their
special defects Of person.
In these happier days, however, there is
no common pattern OF garments for oil
women. Their bonnets, their hats, their
outer coverings, their gowns, are OF an In
finite variety Of shape and color, and con-
trasts which once would have shocked
feminine ideas OF propriety now delight the
eye and afford wide scope for the exercise
OF individual skill and taste In the combina-
tion OF materials and colors. The plainest
and cheapest fabrics are made beautifully
decorative by an artistic arrangement OF
colors, and the richest robes gain greater
brilllancy by their happy combination.
The garments are more sensible, too, than
ever before, better adapted to their special
use and more In harmony with 1t.
The fortunate youth who are now reaching
the age when they become objects OF inter-
est in the eyes Of young women, and who
are beginning to experience the first deli
cous enjoyment Of the influence OF feminine
beauty, ought, therefore, to be very happy
beings. The lovely creatures upon whom 1t
is their privilege to lavish attentions at a
hundred country resorts this summer are
arrayed In COSTUMES more beautiful than
the Oldest man living can remember. These
are garments which really enhance the
charms OF their wearers, and they permit
them the freedom OF movement necessary to
q graceful bearing.
Moreover, the type Of womanhood has i'm
proved and is improving in this country.
No one who looks at the crowds OF pleasure
seekers In the country, and remembers the
past, can fail to recognize that delightful
fact. The increasing proportion OF tall,
we'll rounded and vet wllowy figures is
especially noticeable, while the average Of
physical health seems higher. The little
maidens In short dresses, too promise to go
ahead OF their older sisters In these respects.
AS to our manners, 1t may be said that,
though the formal courtesy Of q generation
or two ago is little attempted nowadays,
people are simpler in their bearing; and, II
they arc we'll bred they carry themselves
with lack OF affectation which is the prime
requisite OF really good manners. Take it
all In all, this is a remarkably good time in
which to be young and susceptible, and we
hope our youthful friends appreciate their
adyantapes.

Statesman shin.
CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.

Our Republican friends are determined to
make the most Of their gratultous assump-
ton that Gen. GARFIELD Is a "trained
statesman" Trained! Trained how and to
what2 That he understands the methods
Of business in the House of Representatives,
and Is on adept in some Of the arts neces-
sAry to serve good ends, as we'll as bad, In
that body, we freely admit. But what great
measure did he ever originate? What pol
Icy that subsequently met the approval OF
the public has he ever devised 2 Mr.. CLAY
was willing to rest his reputation upon his
American system, involving high tariffs
and internal improvements; Mr.. WEBSTER
rested his upon his expostlons OF constitu-
honal principles applied to practical
emergencies; Mr.. VAN BURRN his upon the
Sub-treasury; Mr.. BENTON his upon gold
and silver as the only constitutional cur
rency. statesman is not merely man OF
reading; he is a man OF scientific knowledge,
With tho courage and ability to apply his
doctrines practically.
Now. although he may parse Crock
Ike school teacher, and may have
certain text books on political economy
at his fingers ends, Gen. GARFIELD has
mover risen above the dead level OF his
party. He never leads; he has always fol-
lowed, and generally at very humble dis
tancc behind the bold men who stand at
the head of the column. A theoretical free
trader, he proclaims himself an advocate Of
the protective system. A civil service re-
former, he promises the control OF appoint
ments to the politicians. pretentious
moralist, he accepted the bribes OF ASIEs
and CHIrrENDEN. A protesting Christian,
he did not hesitate at perjury when it was
necessary to conceal bribery. Without
convictions, without moral strength, and
without any but superficial learning, he has
always been tho mere slave OF party. His
Craftsmanship Is OF precisely the same Or
der and grade as that OF the undistin-
guished thousands who have come and
gone In Congress since he first went there,
some fifteen years ago.

The Los Pinos Commission.

The policy Of cunning and coercion in
which the project Of Ute spoliation was
begun Is now pushing the plan to consum-
nation Its first step was to bring to WASH
ington a number OF chiefs not deputed for
the purpose by the tribe, there to deal with
them, by bribes and threats, for the sur
render OF the greater part OF the Ute reser
walton. Eleven million acres by this ar
rangement, were to be taken away. and the
price was to be a certain increase OF the
present annuities, which latter would be
large enough for all the wants OF the Utes
were they not fraudulently withheld; for
the direct purpose. as the Indian Bureau
once frankly explained, Of being used to
procure q removal OF the tribe like the one
now contemplated. AS il it were not enough
to take away the excellent hunting grounds
OF the Utes held in common under perfect
legal title, 1t was arranged that the Indians
should bo penned In little severalty lots in
one corner Of their great reservation, leav-
ing white settlers to overrun the rest.
The next step, after the Ute chiefs had
gone back to tell their tribe OF their work,
was to alter and cut up even this contract
in Congress, without the slightest consid-
GRAFTON as to what the chiefs had agreed to-
and even without consulting them as to the
changes.
The third step Is the one now in progress
at Los Pinos. When the Ute Commission
met the Indians In council and asked for the
decision OF the tribe, they all protested
against the allotment Of land in severalty
and the destruction OF their common hunt
ing and fishing grounds; they also said that
the corner picked out for them was bad land
and indicated another which was good.
They said they would give up the mining
regions in the mountains to the whites, but
wanted the lands along the rivers for them
selves. When signatures were asked for
not one Indian in the whole tribe would sign
the treaty.
1t had been solemnly agreed that the Utes
should have their free choice to reject or ac-
cept the new proposal. Why not, since the
lands coveted are admitted to be theirs Yet
this is what the Commissioners then did:
"rhs Commissioners then addressed the chiefs In.
forming them that the treaty in its present shape was
the only terms which the question could be settled
they must docsrs tor nothing. Commissioner MEARs
In reply TO question OF the chiefs what the Col.
orado people think OF the removal said that the chiefs
could accept the treaty or not but he people Of Colorado
we're fn'E dstsrmiDsd hat he Utes ga"
This is the way In which Messrs. HAYES
and ScHURz fulfil their pledges made at the
outset that the Utes, as admitted owners of
their reservation, should have perfect liberty
OF choice to accept or reject the terms OF
purchase offered them. Under this COM
pulsion, with settlers already upon their
reservation without hindrance from HAYES,
and with troops ready to fire, few chiefs,
headed by OURAY, who, in express terms, Is
to have $1,000 year II he gets the treaty
accepted. have at last signed what all had
protested against and rejected. What is this
so-called contract but conliscation?

Dress and Manners Nowadays.

London journal lately remarked with
truth that our contemporary fashions show
IN Improvement on the past. 1t may bo
added that in manners, also, we have not
retrograded, though some OF the older gen.
sration tell US to the contrary.
No one who observes the women ut our
many watering places this summer, and
who recalls the fashions of twenty or thirty
years ago with anything like distinctnees,
can fail to recognize the improvement OF
which the London writer speaks. Whereas
then the feminine dress, on tho average,
much offended both correct taste and Il
sound physiology, 1t Is now, in general, taste
ful and sensible also. Ofrcnsively glaring
and inharmonious costumes are very rare
this summer, even in the resorts where are
congregated all varieties of people, and
where vulgar display best likes to assert it.
Self
In all departments OF decorative art our
society has made an advance during the
Aast ten years especially, which is surpris-
Ing, and the improvement extends through
cut the whole body. A better and more
correct taste regarding both color and form
10 prevailing, and the manufacturers OF fab
rtcs and OF articles OF household use are
compelled to fashion their hanliwork more
In accordance with the requirements OF art.
But nowhere do we SEQ greater improve
ment than In the dress OF women, which
surely ought to occupy the most beautiful
place In decorative art, and upon which, at
all events, Is expended far more thought and
oontrivance than upon any other form OF
decoration.
Twenty years ago women were wearing
enormous crinolines At that time and be-
fore they often taxed the utmost strength
OF stout maid to reduce the size OF their
waists, and 30 added to the absurdity OF
their costumes. There also prevailed GER
tain false and arbitrary rules concerning
the combination OF colors, against which
none OF them dared to offend. II was a
time of hideous feminine fashions, though
fortunately feminine charms can never be
altogether destroyed by the most tyrannlcal
drcssmaker.
Then came the huge chignons; which
marred the beauty OF the shapeicst heads,
while tho hair, instead OF being loosely ar
ranged as now, was plastered to tho foro-
head with bandoline In rigidly mathemati-
cal curves. Great bonnets rose above fair
faces which invited only tasteful deo-
orations. and II was a wonder that any,

The Novels of the Summer.

The summer reading which publishers
once took pains to supply in pretty volumes
bound in paper or in gayly colored cloth, is
now almost altogether furnished by the
reprints and translatons OF novels sent out
in the cheap libraries " OF fiction.
These novels, obtainable for dime or
two. must have enormously increased the
reading OF fiction, and happily. fiction OF
the better sort, for the two libraries which
chiefly supply the demand, contain in their
series large share OF the best OF con-
temporary novels. and many that have long
held high or q good place In literature.
Indeed, very few OF the famous novels OF
the last half century are omitted.
or course both our own writer's Of popular
literature and the writers Of England who
