AFTER MOTHER HUBBARD'S.

Illinois Onicials Arresting Ladies' for Wear
ing the Neglige Costume-Much Indig-
nation.
BLooxIxGroS, August S.-The civic au-
thorities in several of the towns in this sec
ton are making war on the Mother Hub,
bard dress. The other day the chief of po'
lice in Mattoou, short distance east Of
here, issued an order that any woman ap'
pearing on the streets wearing Mother
Hubbard dress would be arrested and lodged
in jail. The reason given is that the cos
tune is improper and tends to an indecent
exposure of the person and thus has de-
moraIzing effect. A number Of other towns
have issued similar orders and in q few in
stances the violators Of the order have been
arrested and incarcerated. These proceed
ings are causing sensation among the fair
wearers, who are very indignant.

THAT UNAvENGED WRONG.

L. il any wonder that every mention ol
the name of Tilden rs the probable Demo
cratic nominee for the next presidenc.
makes the Republicans tremble in theii
boots and hunt up new certificates to his
physical disability His candidacy, they
well know, would heal every Democratic
disagreement on the instant and make the
great electoral crime of 1876 the only issue
of the contest How that issue will be pro
claimed from the stump and blistcred into
the hide of the Republican party can be
inferred from the following reference made
to it in the speech of James X. Doolttle at
the recent banquet of the lroquois club at
Chicago:
II remember that in 1876 we elected our
President and Vice President, And re-
member another thing, that the leaders OF
the Republican party in the House and Sen
ate-I will refer to them by name, they
are both dead now; refer to Mr., Garfield
in the House and Senator Morton in the
Senate-substanta pledged themselves
as leaders Of the Republican party, and
pledged the Republican party to the lead
ers of the Democracy, that If they would
Join in appointing this High Commission,
part To be composed of the Judges OF the
Supreme Court and part of members of the
House and members of the Senate, that they
would consent. and the Commission would
absolutely do what they were made for
namely, to try the question whether there
was a fraudulent vote in Louisiana or not
When it was proposed to prove before
Louisiana were false, and forged, and
fraudulent, and that the 1ilden electors
had received nearly 10000 majority in Lou
isiana, that Commission decided that they
would not do the very thing they were met
to do--to wit, try the question. When Mr.
Garfield came back from that Commission
into the House, Carter II. Harrison met
him and said Mr.. Garfield, how in heav
ems name could you vote against trying
that question after making that speech in
the Housey Mr.. Garfield turned upon
him Carter said he, If you had the
cards wouldn't you play 'emY
This great outrage and wrong goes un-
punished AS long as the Republican party
is in power. 1t is unavenged, but the PEG
pie of this country have not forgotten it,
and they have not forgiven IT,"
Judge Doolittle is right. That issue will
live AS long as the Republican party holds
stolen power, and with 1'ilden rs the Dem
ocratic candidate it will be the only issue.
No other can receive attention beside the
burning memory of that shameful wrong!

AT the Capitol, the notable oratOry of the
week was expended on the Tariff question
Among those who made their Giving is

debate may be mentioned Representative
Blont of Ga, who believed in gettingt rev.
enue from importation, but though no leg
islation should be enacted which would
make the rich richer and the poor poorer,
ON the prptense of elevating American
labor above the pauper labor OF Europe,
and keeping the home market for our
selves. Representative Jones of Arkansas
said it was in response toa widespread
demand for reduction of the Tariff that
the pending bill was brought in, and that
its passage would announce. Representative
Chace Russell, Kelly, and Mills made oppo-
sition speeches. Chairman Morrison, in.
his remarks which opened the debate, said
that if the Democratic platform had an hon
est meaning, it was that the Tariff shall be
lowered to "A revenue basis lie held that
gentlemen deceive themselves iwho expect
the people will be deceived by refusal to

would be, and he thought ought to be, en-

Mr.. Morrison referred to the free trade

ago providing for untaXed alcohol in max

While this debate was progressing in the
House. senators Morrill, and Beck We're ha-

end of the capital. The senator from Yer
