Reason for Low-Neck presses.

Says New York letter to the Hartford
Times The round, low-necked bodice, with
its short, plain, epaulette-llke sleeve,
which has been seen for the past two win
tiers, is about as ugly aud commonplace o
mode as stupidity could invent, and it
owes its continued existence only to the OBJ
stinate adherents to traditions of Queen
Victoria. If the Princess of Wales ever be-
comes the first lady in England this hideous
vestige OF near past will receive its
congo. The high bodice, square pointed,
filed in, outlined, or smoothly shaped over
fine bust aud sloping waist, Is capable OF so
much more variation, and affords so many
new resources that it is surprising Ameri-
can women will lend themselves TO the per-
petuaton Of so foolish and limited mode.
The only explanation Of 1t is that they feel
obliged TO wear out In America the clothes
they have ordered for high society pur-
poses In England.

SHAKEp

The Democratic caucus last evening
was unexpectedly harmonious and in
dcated, as far as any differences can be
drawn, that oil factious wrangles over
the tariff are TO be averted; that big
pension scoops are to be shut down on;
that the Legitimate business of the ses-
sion is to be expedited; that the propo-
sition to raise money by special in
come tax is to be abandoned, aud that
an adjournment is to be had, if posi-
bic, by the middle of July.
This is as it should be- We congrat.
ulAte our Democratic friends of the
House upon having profted by the
purely disinterested advice of TIE
CRITIC and laid their quarrels under
the table. There is quite a number Of
clever gentlemen on that side of the
Chamber whom we would like to see
back here, and the policy they have
adopted is better calculated than any
other to produce peace and content.
ment among their constituents and
bring out q big vote at the polls.
Mr.. Randall appears to have meant
what he said when he announced that
"the two wings of the party are going
to flap together"
The committee appointed to regulate
the order of business-Speaker Carlisle,
the gentleman from Illinois and the
gentleman from Pcnnsylvania--is un.
doubtedly the best that could have
been selected. In quantity 1t is plenty
large enough-in quality 1t is above
criticism.
1t will now be in order TO so quietly
ahead and finish up the appropriation
bills and as much other needed legisla-
ton as possible. In the meantime we
would suggest to our Republican
friends, with an equal spirit of disin-
terestedness, that as they value their
own political interests they cease to be-
come obstructionists and haul down
their fillibuster flag. The best possible
record they can make for themselves is
to allow the business of the session to
proceed in its regular way, helping the
Democrats out with patriotic alacrity
in all measures that pertain to the gen
eral good of the country, and protesting
by their votes alone against such legls
lation as party fealty will not permit
them to indorse.

CALM AND STORM.

As, azure domed,
And silver foamed,
And fecked by many snowy sail,
The ocean lay,

Scarce ripping In the Southern gale;

That life might be
AS tranquil as that summer sea.
But as gaZed,
The sea birds raised
A Cry of dol'rous, sad forbOde,
Athwart fair heaven
Black clouds were driven,
And high the angry billows rode.
All, then for me,
Prophetic sea,
Thou told'st In truth what lito must be.
Now-aZure domed,
And silver foamed,
Once more It tells the same sweet tale.

For Heavens bright shore our souls set sail,

By THE WAY, nothing has been heard
lately about the Eads ship railway
scheme. AT last advlces it was under
stood that Congress was going to rec
ommend an Endorsement of the propo.
sition to the amount of $37, SOC, 900;
but the whole business seems to have
been shrouded in an ominous mystery
since. In matter of such great ma
tional Importance, involving half as
much money rs the regular pension
list, 1t would seem that decided action
should have been taken long before
this, and the question given the pub
licity of debate which its merits or de-
merits demand. We should be slow to
believe that Congress was waiting to
slip 1t through in the hustle and confu.
sion of some last night session, like the
rider TO an appropriation bill, The
country would like to hear something
about 1t and wants fair showing of
hands on its consideration.

A vIGILANr EXECUTIVE.

1t has been stated, which usually
means that nobody knows anything
about it, that the President has notified
several leaders in the House that he
will not sign single bill, even in the
closing hours of Congress, without
reading 1t. There are to be no corrupt
schemes run through under cover, as it
were, If he can help 1t.
It is not unlikely that there is some
truth in the statement. Mr.. Cleveland has
already shown that he intends to keep
close scrutiny of the legislation of
Congress, and 1t Is proper he should,
He pursued the same course at Albany
when he was Governor; but the Gov
ernment of the State of New York and
the Government of the United States
are two different things, and what by
dint of extraordinary effort he was
able to do in the one case would
amount to almost physical impossi-
bility in the other.
The President cannot be too highly
commended for his vigilance, but he
must place some confidence in the good
faith and honest intentions of Senators
and Representatives, and would not be
justly censurable for signing some bills
without making personal and exhaust
i've examination of their contents. No
President has ever undertaken to do as
much before, and we doubt IL any
President, in full justice to himself,
can properly undertake to do 1t now.
Nor is it likely that he has ever mott
fed the leaders in Congress of any such
determination. He simply wants them
to understand that he keeps a close eye
on the public business and that they
needn't expect to put up any jobs on
him, big or little, without his knowing 1t.
THE nomination of Mr.. Matthews
of Albany for Recorder Of Deeds Of
the District of Columbia has been

tee having it under consideration.
THE CRITIC was the first newspaper in
the District to protest against the ap-
pointment, and it did so for reasons
that we have stated over and over
again, and which it is unnecessary to
repeat. 1t is enough that they have
lost none Of their force by the lapse OF
time. We entertain none but the
kindest feelings toward Mr.. Matthews
personally, but we feel that in reject
ing the nomination the committee has
done an act of justice to the taxpayers
Of the District, out of whose pockets
the Recorders Office is supported,
which is no more than their right.
THE POSTAL CLERKS on certain West
ern railroads having formulated plans
whereby they proposed to leave the
service in body should the depart
ment act contrary to their wishes, the
Postmaster General has promptly
nipped the conspiracy in the
bud by discharging all concerned. AS
the law now stands controlling Govern

not Illegal, and there was no way of pre-
venting 1t. II is strike, and although il

two important historical events-the

of the Constitution Of the United
