FASHIONS Tyranny.

The S1ATEsMAN's fashion editor keeps
its female readers well and accurately
posted in the latest styles, from the arti-
cles worn upon the dome of thought to
those that tread uneven pavements and
rickety plank walks. And from reading,
as well as observation, it cannot have
escaped general notice that full gathered

the dress, is coming into vogue again

means a great deal to the bifurcated por,
ton of humanity.
1t is the first step toward reintroducing
crinoline, to be followed by expansive
hoops. Every family man, therefore,
has an interest in this new fashion,
which is receiving frequent mention in
the fashion columns, and Is making its
appearance quite numerously on the
streets.
1t means for the ladies an increase in
the quantity of material for their dresses,
and to the man who pays for them, a
greater sum of money than was
demanded when 'pull-backs" were
all the go. Hoops and the increased
amount of drapery to cover them will

put the wife out of the reach of the hus-
band, and as for the young peoDle. with
their introduction, comfortable spoon
eying" will become memory of the past.
Worn on the streets they will take up
space; in the theaters, places of worship,
ditto; and at parties or dances will prove
an abomination. On windy days they
will greatly incommode the ladies and
embarrass them.
Against all these objections hoops, or
balloon-shaped dresses, do not offer
single counterbalancing merit, unless it
be, they allow the ladies to sit down cas-
Ter than ''the pullbackn-but not so
gracefully, for all that.
However, If fashion has decreed, as so
it seems, that balloon dresses and hoops
shall come in again, it cannot be prevent

to grin and bear the abomination, with all
its attendant expense and inconvenience,
and absolute absence of grace and
beauty.

IMPORTANT DECISIONS
Yesterday by the supreme Court

From Saturdays DailY.l
Yesterday the supreme court, with a
full bench, decided three important
cases, to each one of which the state is a
party. The case against the Interna-
tional railroad for forfeiture of charter
was affirmed, the opinion of Judge
Walker being sustained in all particulars
1t will be remembered that this suit was
brought by the attorney general against
the company, alleging that it had for
feited its charter, privileges and fran
chises because of failure to comply
with the law under which the charter
was originally granted; claiming also a
forfeiture of the lands and grants already
made by the state. The decision of
Judge Walker failed to disturb the char
ter or forfeit any grants already made,
but denied the right of the company to
the sixteen sections of land per mile for
every mile of road west of Austin, which
it claimed.
In the case of General William Steele,
who sued the state for balance on sal
airy, as adjutant general, of $1,000, the
court affirmed the judgment of the court
below, and General Steele will get his
money.
In the case of Judge Gustave Cook,
who also sued the state for balance on
salary and gained his case in the lower
courts, the judgment was reversed.
Judge Gould, in delivering this
opinion, laid down tie proposition
that the legislature in passing an appro-
pristion bill cannot change the salary of
any official which is fixed by law. That
is, if the salary of an officer is fixed by
statute at fifteen hundred dollars year,
that salary cannot be increased or dimin-
ished except by the repeal of the former
statute and the enactment of a
new one upon the subject. Here
tofore the legislature has been in the
habit of changing salaries of state Off
cials at will, simply by appropriating
whatever amount it saw proper
This decision will affect the salaries of
the chief clerks in the comptroller's,
treasurer's and land office, as well as that
of the secretary of the board of educa-
ton. The salaries of the two latter
named were increased, by appropriation
bill, from $500 to 5000, aud those of
the former from $500 to $500.
