Vhe Nnle I'm Art.

There is but ono topic of conversation
at London dinner tables: Ought women to
be painted in the garb of Mother Eve?
There are two factions. One faction
signs itself "Senex," "A British Matron,"
or Outrage Virtue" aud writes to the
London Times deploring the nudities Of
modern art.
The other is 8 bluff and practical fac
tion. 1t calls "Senex" "pottering jack
ass" ridicules the British Matron,"
and pours cold water on Outraged Yir-
tue"
Mr. Labouchere, representing the latter,
says:
Dress is purely q matter OF convention
There IL no real reason beyond custom why
q lady should snow her arms and not show her
legs.
Without trying to decide between the
combatants we may note the curious
change in English life which enables men
and women of fashion to discuss tho
charms Of Venus Anadyomene or to
dwell on the most prominent feature of a

latter place the Lake city now springs on
the administration four candidates for
the former place. These four arc Judge
Lambert Tree, Hon. w. II. Condor,
Judge Lyle Dickey, all of Chicago, and
Judge Stalls, Of Cincinnati, who is being
doomed by A. Q. Hesing, tho editor of
the Democratic German organ in Chicago
1t was said that the mission was TO be
filled as soon as Secretary Bayard re-
turned, The latter is now back, but
conservative Illinoisians say that he will
let the candidates drive each other out of
the field, and appoint a man from North

VIRGINIA AND THE SUPREME
COURT.

Many suppose that the late decision
of the supreme court is, aa the title OF
the case would imply, adverse to the
state OF Virginia. Such Is not the case.
II Is only against the Mahonites, the re-
pudiationists, and the CAMERON admin.
istration. Briefly, the case stands thus:
In 1871 the state of Virginia guarani eed
TO the holders of her bonds that their
coupons would be receivable for taxes.
The bonded debt, then VIC believe above
S3O,OOOOOO, was 80 great, and the cou-
pons had accumulated 10 such an OK
tent that they became much reduced In
value, and as everybody bought them
up at low figures TO pay taxes with, the
revenue Of the state was almost de-
stroyed. Considerable agitation arose
in consequence, which led to tho forma-
ton Of party beaded 10y MALONE, who
openly advocated the doctrine OF rerus.
lug to tako these coupons, notwith-
standing the contract made by the state
with tho bondholders. This party, un-
dor tho nam8 Of "re-adjusters," came
Into power, and under law passed by
them in 1882, entitled "An act
to provide for the moro efficient collec.
ton Of the revenue 10 support tho gov
ornment, maintain the public schools
and pay Interest on the public debit, -
forbade the receipt of coupons 10y the

this issuo CAMERON was elected COVER

ginia bitterly opposing the measure, aud
MAHQNWs party advocating 10. The
Republicans and entire uogro popula-
tion took sides with MALONE and CAM.
eron, and the result was as above stated.
Now, however, the power OF MALONE
is broken and the state is squaroly
Democratic. Tho decision Of the court
satisfies the honest sentiment OF tho
state, aud MALONE himself will take
the field this fail advocating convon-
ton to amend the constitution 80 that
tho liquidation idess may prevail, not
wilhstanding the decision OF the highest
legal tribunal. That he will be- inglo.
riously defeated, Is sincerely 10 be hoped,
aud hisutter defeat viii bs assured II MIR.

sors extended to the unprincipled repu.
