Girl Dudes.

Our neighbor of the Evening Post,
in reply to anxious inquiries, says that
there are good many reasons for re-
garding the girl dude as a possible
future social type. The reader must
imply from this that the girl dude
has not yet appeared, which is some
what confusing, for most sufferers by
the dude have discovered that the
creature may be of either sex, and
that the female variety, instead
of being evolved from the male,
was the original form. 1t is i'm
possible for any observing man
in society, no matter how old
he may be, not to recall from his
earliest social experiences the memory
Of a woman, and everywhere from
twenty to forty, whose dress and
manners were conventionally correct
and tame, whose gaze was bland and
meaningless, and whose husband, II
she married, sometimes drank himself
to death, but was far more likely to
elope with some other woman, to the
utter establishment of his wife. Only
conceit, ignorance, serenity and money
enough to dress on are necessary to
the production of a dude; can any one
be so blind as to deny that the gentler
sex possess enough of these qualities
to entitle it to representation?

What is q Dude?


The dude is evidently the social sue
cessor of the swell. the fop and the
dandy, but the type is very differ
ent one, and it is in this fact that the
social interest in him mainly centers.
The fashionable type which preceded
him-the tops and handles of our
fathers and grandfathers' time, and
in an environment" They devoted
themselves to fashion, but it was in
"a different spirit from that shown by
the dude. They regarded exaggera-
ton and total extravaganza as le-
Ultimate fashionable aim they brought
buoyant animal spirit to the task.
Any one who looks at a pic
ture of a fop OF dandy of fifty years
ago will see that OVERRIDING the mat
ter was his ambition. If clothes were
important, the more display he made,
the brighter the colors, the more nu-
merous the jewels, the more pictur-
esque the whole, the better. Their
successor, the swell, at any rate, down
to a short period since, inherited these
traditions, though he did not improve
upon them. He struggled against his
fate. Peptop trowserS helped him for
Il time, and so did the fashion of wear
ing clothes of many colors, and that

control OF existing telegraph lines, or to con-
struct others with view Of entering into gen.
eral competition with private enterprise The
objections which may be justly urged against
either of these projects and. indeed, against
any system which would require an enormous
increase in the civil service, do not however,
apply to some of the plans which have lately
provoked public comment and discussion. 1t
mas been claimed, for example, that congress
might wisely authorize the postmaster general
to contract with some private person or
corporation for the transmission Of messages
at specified rates and under government
supervision. Various such schemes. of the
same general nature but widely differing in
their special characteristics, have been sug-
gested in the public prints, and the arguments
by which they have been supported and OPP
posed have doubtless attracted your attention.
1t is likely that the whole subject will be con-
sidered by you at the present session In the
nature of things it involves so many questions
of detail that your deliberations would prob
ably be aided slightly, if at all, by any par
ticuiar suggestions which might now submit
l ayow my belief, however, that the govern
ment should be authorized by law to exercise
court supervision over interstate telegraph
communication, and express the hope that
for attaining that end some measure be devised
which will receive your appreciation

THE CIVIL SERVICE.
WORKINGS OF THE LAW.

The commissioners appointed under the act
of Jan. Is, 1888, entitled Gan act to regulate
and improve the civil service of the United
States" entered promptly upon the discharge
of their duties. A series of rules framed In &C
cordance with the spirit of the statute
was approved and promulgated by the
president In some particulars where
iu they seemed defective those
rules were subsequently amended. 1t will be
perceived that they discountenanced any pollt-
ical or religious tests for admission to the
Offices of the public service to which the statute
relates The statute related in its original form
to the classified clerkships in the several exec
utiye departments at Washington, numbering
about $500, and to similar positions IN the
customs districts and posbOfhces where as
many as fifty persons arc employed A classl-
fication of these positions, analogous to that eX-
listing in the Washington Offices, was duly made
before the law went into effect. Eleven customs
districts and twenty-three postofices were
thus brought under the immediate operation
of the statute The annual report or the CIVIL
service commission, which will soon be submit
ted to congress, will doubtless afford the meas
ure of more definite judgment than am now
prepared to express as to the merits of the new
system. am persuaded that its effects have
thus far proved beneficial Its practicable
methods appear to be adequate for the ends
proposed, and there has been no serious diff
Guilty in carrying them into effect Since the
18th of July last no person, so FAR as 1 am
aware, has been appointed to the public serv-
ice in the classified portions thereof at any OF
the departments or at any Of the postothces
and customs districts above named, except
those certified by the commission to be compe-
tent ia the basis of the examination held In
conformity to rules.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
REGULATION OF FEES

The attorney general criticizes in his report
the provisions Of the existing law fixing the
fees of jurors and witnesses in the federal
courts The provisions are chiefly contained
in the act Of February &c, 1858, though some
of them were introduced into the act
from statutes which had . been passed
many years previous IL is mani
fest that such compensation as might
when these laws were enacted, have
been lust and reasonable, would in many in
stances be justly remanded at the present day
az inadequate. concur with the attorney gen.
eral in the belief that the statutes should be
revised by which these fees are regulated. So,
too, should be the laws to regulate the COM
pensaton Of district attorneys and marshals.
They should be paid wholly by salary, instead
of in part by fees as is now the case. The
change would prove to be a measure of econ
omy, and would discourage the institution Of
needless and oppressive legal proceedings,
which it is to be feared have in some instances
been conducted for the mere sake of personal
gain.
Morris tribune., 1883-12-05

freedom in their regulations must be
recognized, but it seems only just That, so far
as its constitutional authority will permit, con-

FOREST PRESERVES.
In nv last annual message called attention
to the necessity of protecting by suitable legis-
lation the forests situated upon the public do
main. In many portions of the West the pur-
suit of general agriculture is only made prac-
ticable by resort to irrigation While success
full irrigation would be impossible without the
aid afforded by forests IN contributing to the
regularity and constancy of the supply Of
water. During the past year severe suffering
and great loss of property have been occa-
stoned by profuse floods, followed by periods
of unusually low water IN many OF the great
rivers Of the country; these Irregularities were,
in great measure, caused by the removal from
about the sources of the streams in question
of the timber by which the water supply had
been nourished and protected. The preserva-
ton of such portions of the forests on the ma
tional domain as essentially contribute to the
equable flow of important water courses Is or
the highest consequence. Important trlb utarles
of the Missouri, the Columbia and the Sas-
katchewan, rise in the mountains of Montana,
now the northern boundary of the United
States between the Blackfeet and Flathead In
dian reservations This region is unsuitable for
settlement, but upon the rivers which flow from
it, depends in the future the agricultural
development of vast tract of country. The
attention of congress is called to the necessity
of Withdrawing from the public sale this part
Of the public domain, and establishing there
forest preserve.
The Industrial exhibitions which have been
held in the United States during the present
year attracted the attention of many foreign
countries, where the announcement OF those
ENTERPRISES had been made public through the
foreign representatives of this government
The Southern exhibits at louisville were
largely attended by the exhibitors of foreign
countries, Notwithstanding the absence OF
any professional character in those undertak-
ings The centennial exposition to be held
next year at New Orleans, in commemoratlon
of the century of the first shipment OF cotton
from port of the United States, bids fair to
meet with like gratifying success. Under the
act Of congress of the 10th of February, 1883,
declaring that exposition to be national
and international in its character,
the foreign governments with which the
United States maintains relations, have been
invited to participate. The promoters OF this
important undertaking have already received
assurances of the lively interest it has excited
abroad.
The report of the commissioner of
the District of Columbia is herewith trans
mitted. ask for it your careful attention, es-
pecally for those portions which relate to as
sements for taxes and water supply.
Morris tribune., 1883-12-05
MISCELLANEOUS.

THE SUCCESS1ON.
At the time when the present executive en-
tered upon his office, his death, removal, resig-
nation or inability to discharge his duties would
have left the government without constitu-
tionai head It is possible, of course.
that similar contingency may again
arise. unless the wisdom of congress
shall provide against its recurrence. The SEN
ate at it's last session, after full consideration,
passed an act relating to this subject which Will
now, trust, commend Itself to the approval or
both houses of congress. The clauses of the
constitution. upon which must depend any law
regulating the presidential succession. presents
also for solution other questions OF para
mount importance. These questions relate 10
the proper Interpretation of the phrase INA
bility to discharge the powers and duties OF the
said Office" Our law providing, that when
the president ehall suffer from such
inability. the presidential Office shall devolve
upon the vice president who must himself, I'M
der the circumstances, give place to SUCH o1er
as congress may by law appoint to act as
president need not here set forth numerous
and interesting inquiries which are suggested
by these words of the constitution. They were
fully stated in my first communication to con-
press and have since been the subject OF ire
uuent deliberations in that body. 1t Is greatiy
to be hoped that these momentuous quesnons
will find speedy solution, lest an emergency
should arise when longer delay will be lmpos-
shJe and any determination albeit the wlsest,
NAV furnish cause for anxiety aud alarm For
the reasons fully stated in my last annual
message, I repeat my Recommendation
that congress propose an amendment to that
provision of the constitution which prescribed
that the formalities for the enactment of laws,
whereby in respect to bills for the appropria-
ton of public moneys, the executive may. be
enabled while giving his approval to parucu-
lar items to in;erpose his veto as to such others
"a do NOT commend themselves TO his judg-
ment.
THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT 49,
of the constitution CO lfers the rights or citl-
zenship upon all persons born or naturalized
in the United States, aud subject to the Juris-
diction thereof. 1t was the special purpose OF
this amendment to insure members or the
90 ored race the full interment OF civil
and political rights Certain statuatory pro-
visions intended to secure the enforcement OF
those rights, have been recently declared IN
constituonai by the supreme court Any legis-
laton whereby congress- may lawfully supple
ment the guarantees which the constitution
Affords for the equal enjoyment by all the citl-
zens of the United States OF every right, PRIV
iiege and immunity of citizenship. Will re-
ceive my unhesitating approval

WE NEED PROTECTION.

1t is positively certain that if we
had more police protection, many
things that now happen would not.
The old man KAA1wEUwEU whose
death we reported yesterday, might
have had an attempt made to save
his life if the police authorities had
known of the accident before his
death. They did not know till after
he was dead and then only by telc-
phone from private citizen.
And yet they are not to blame in
the matter. There is no policeman
at Waikiki and they haven't the
means to station one there. There
are not enough to do so without
taking them away from more impor-
tant stations.
Mounted police were asked for
by the Police Department for the
suburban districts of Honolulu.
They were placed on the estimates
and were strick out by committee
of the Legislature. So that the
blame does not lie on the Marsllals
Department. Still we feel the
necessity for these mounted police
for these suburban districts. There
is hardly week goes by but what
some case turns up in which the
absolute necessity for this species of
vigilance is not felt.
1t is commonly said in Honolulu,
/" whenever you want to go on a
spree, go down country, there are no
police to interfere with you," and
even in Honolulu some districts cam
not have a policeman regularly
stationed there, and the conse-
qrlence is that those who wish to
offend against the laws retire to
these spots to do so.
1t would rebound to the credit OF
the Ministry if they would provide
further funds for this important
need in our city, and they will be
held to be justly to blame if any
serious disaster happens from tho
want of it.
