CHICAGO has a Washington park, so
named in honor of the Father of his
Country, and a clamor has arisen to
change the name to Grant Park, and
the chief reason alleged is, that only a
short street of the city bears the name
of Grant, while a long and prominent
one is known as Washington. Chicago
ought to be enterprising enough to add
a Grant park to its domain, and thus
point with pride to its Washington,
Lincoln and Grant parks, if indeed ii
is the wiscst to choose the names OF
men for such distinction.

There Is a great deal of drunkenness at
Washington, and society winks at it in a
friendlisr manner than 1t did a few years
ago. More women appear now in decouete
dresses at our big receptions and the cut OF
their dresses is often shamefully low, without
even the illusion of lace and Hover to hid
the swelling bust At a reception not long
ago a lady appeared with a low-cut dress so
made that the shoulders were perfectly bare,
and the head and shoulders looked like a hv-
ing marble nfe-size bust statuette set in a
sort OF bouquet-holder Of white satin. The
ladies' OF the foreign Legations are the worst,
but some Of our aping Americans can come
very close to them, and rs a rule they have
better goods to show both as to face, neck
and figure than the women foreigners.
When such a state Of affairs prevails in
the fashionable northwest what can you
expect on the other side of the avenuoi The
result is that there are more Of the demi
monde in Washington to-day than ever
before. No law is put in force 10 stop them
and they parade Pennsylvania in scores
every bright afternoon, either walking
dressed in sealskins and silks or driving in
some of the ~best-looking turnouts OF the cap
ital They enter even the galleries OF con

The governor of Dakota has distinguish
ed himself by setting his judgment above
that of the peoples representatives, by
vetoing the bill for an act granting the
right Of suffrage to women. Governor
Pierce is a recent importation from the
east, having been appointed to supercede
Governor 0rdway about a year ago. He
has scarcely been long enough among the
people Of Dakota to give him the right to
question the wisdom of a public measure
which the Representatives Of the people
decided to enact into a law after mature
delibcration and discussion He has
taken with him into the g~ubcrnatorial
Office of an advanced, liberal common-
wealth, the narrow and Liberal views he
imbibed while n resident in an eastern
state. He has not lived a sufi-
Gent length of time among the
progressive people OF Dakota
to forget old fashioned %prejudices and
ancient notions Of the eternal fitness of
things. Had Governor Pierce been n
pioneer with the pioneer women of Da-
kota, had he shared with them the rough
and dangerous life of the frontier, had he
learned to realize the heroism and self
a~bnegation of the women ofDakota, who,
with their husbands and brothers made it
safe for an eastern governor Ia live and
draw a good government salary on the
frontier. had he participated in their
hbors which recovered from an Indian
ridden wilderness a magnificent realm for
the wheat grower, stockman and miner, he
would not to-day be known as the usurrer
of a power by which be assumed the night
to arbitrarily dictate to the people Of
Dakota Such a man should be ~relegated
20 a country town in a Puritan state where
the blue laws make it a misdemeanor for
q man to kiss his wife on a Sunday.
