DRESS.

At the regular meeting of the Central
W. c. T. T., yesterday, an article was read
which seemed SO pertinent, it was at once
decided TO request its publication in the
Daily EAGLE:
MISS WILLARD ON DRESS.
But woman's everlasting befrilled, be-
dizened and bedraggled style of dress is to-
day doing more harm to children unborn,
born and dying, than all other causes that
compel public attention. With ligatured
lungs aud liver as our past Inheritance and
present slavery, the wonder is that such
small heads can carry all we know Catch
Edison and construct him inside wasp
waistcoat, and be assured you'll get no
more inventions; bind a hustle upon Bis
marck, and farewell to German unity:
coerce Robert Browning into corsets, and
you'll have no more epics; put Parnell into
petticoats, aud home rule is a lost cause;
treat Powderly in the same fashion. and
the powder mine of failure will blow
up the labor movement Niggardly
waists and niggardly brains go together
The emancipation of one will always keep
pace with the other; a ligature around the
vital organs at the smallest diameter of
the womanly figure means an impoverish-
ed blood supply in the brain, and may ex-
plain why women scream when they see a
mouse, and why they are so terribly afraid
of term which should be their glory, as
it is that OF their brothers-viz.: strong
minded.
Our degradation in the line of bandag-
ing the waist has reached such a point
that Helen Campbell says it is a requisite
in fashionable London stores to have the
women clerks no larger around than TWEEN
ty inches, land eighteen inch waists are
preferred Look at the monstrous de-
formity produced by constructive surgery
think what belittlement Of power and
happiness it means TO the poor
creatures VINO will wear these
waists, and to their childrenl
We shall, / hope, see something less
humiliating in Harper's Bazaar than its
immemorial denominations OF fashionable
style" now that so true a Christian
woman as Margaret Sangster edits that
otherwise excellent paper.
Bonneted women are not in normal con-
dition for thought; high-heeled women
are not in normal condition for motion:
corseted women are not IN normal
condition for motherhood. Each of the
constructions and contortions involved by
these crimes in dress is distinct violation
of loving laws given by our Heavenly
Father for our highest happiness and
growth. wonder that men, in their
broader outlook and magisterial power, do
not forbid these things by statute, in the
interest OF their sons that are TO be.
But ethics and aesthetics must go side by
side in the blessed work of dress reform.
for that is natures way. The pioneers did
not see this. and their -bloomers"
speedily dropped into innocuous desue

STREET RAILWAY DECISION.
The following is a special to the Chica

The following is special to the Chicago
Herald:
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. THE Chicago
capitalists who operate the street railway
of this city won an important victory in
the superior court today. Each judge
filed u separate opinion, but the conclusion
reached is practically the same Judge
Taylor holds that the Chicago people are
entitled to all the streets of the city for
street car purposes, and that the council
cannot make any grants TO rival
companies before the first COM
pany's charter expires. The other
judges hold that privileges may be granted
To other companies, but not on streets
already occupied by one line, as the charter
requires the middle of the streets shall be
used and two companies cannot occupy
the middle of the same street. As the
Chicago company has occupied all the
principal streets the rulings are in its
favor
