Some Sensible Remarks on Dress Reform.
You see we are grown modest and fearful
of some nameless, imaginary moral evil
We have become ashamed of the way God
made us, and we cover ourselves up, Just as
II the human figure were deformity. Who
first invented clothes which make men look
like stiff, forked, shapeless forms? The
ancients showed the lines of the female
figure and gave piquarcy to its pliancy,
its graceful flexibility. Today the women
put themselves in stays and load themselves
with bustles and stick themselves out with
all sorts of improvements until they look
still attractive, but falsely, unhumanly
attractive. don't believe the Grecian wo-
men, those from whose figures goddesses
were modelled had bit better forms than
the women of today.
The race in California is simply wonder
ful in its development of anatomical
beauty, judging by the display one sees
any day on the street. But it would be a
great deal more effective if the costumes
permitted the supple grace of nature to be
shown. Every now and again the female
lecturer comes along to teach new fads
about dress and to air new ideas about
hygiene. The principle Of all health is free
dom of action of the body and plenty of ex-
ercise, and the principle of health is, curl
ously enough, the principle of comfort and
the principle of beauty of form. When in
the olden times men and women wore
clothes that looked odd and quaint in cut
to us, if they sacrificed comfort it was to
appearance. We sacrifice appearance and
get no particular comfort.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

THE PLATFORM DECLARATION
AGAINST THE FORCE BILL.

One oi the most forcibie deliverances In
the Democratic platform Is the resolution
relating Tn the Republican menace to
bring tho election machinery of the sew
eraI states under the control of the fed
eral government. AS the Republicans In
Minneapolis proclaimed their purpose 70
continue their attempts TO enact the force
bill into law. the Democrats have met the
issue thus made with equal alscrity and
deciaveness. In doing so they were re-
minded that no less distinguished Re
publican than Senator Teller, Of Colorado
denounced the force bill as "the most in
famous measure" ever introduced In con
gress They were also reminded that this
measure encountered the opposition of
other distinguished Republicans, includ
ing Senators Washburn Of Minnesota
Plumb OF Kansas, Stewart OF Nevada. and
Cameron and Quay Of Pennsylvania
This attempt to put all the machinery of
the elections under the control Of federal
power II an attack upon the very founda
tion of free governments in this country
II successful. IL would confer upon the
party In possession OF the government a
potent means Of perpetuating its rule In
spite Of the popular will. The Democratic
party seeks no suoh power for itself. and II
would not tolerate the exercise Of such
dangerous power by any other party

THE POLICE.

II was amusing TO read the "chapter ana
verse; of the statute relative to the weekly
Payment law quoted in contemporary
last evening, as to why the policemen
could sue the city for damages. DID the
writer observe that this law only applies
to employees The police officers are not
employees OF the city. They are elected
officials, otherwise they would have TO De
paid weekly and not every two weeks as
they ordinarily are.
The only police officers who might have
such claim under the Weekly Payment
law would be the special officers who have
been and are now "employed" by Chie'
Perry to do such duty as he may assign
to them to perform and whose pay for the
past four weeks has been withheld by th'
partisan Republican committee on ae
counts.

THE AGED POET.

Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes was SO years
old yesterday, and congratulations from
all parts OF the country were showered in
upon the aged poet. 1t is long period OF
years to look back upon, full of historic
interest, but although the evening OF life
is upon him and the brilliant rays of the
sunset are in life's sky, the doctor still
holds his own and his powerful intellect
is unimpaired. Each year as the day
comes around on which he first saw the
light we feel grateful for all the pleasure
he has given us and wish for another hour
with the ,Autocrat OF the Breakfast Table
or that we might linger a little longer
Over the Tea Cups with an inimitable
host.
1t is intimated that Dr. Holmes purposes
writing a volume of "reminiscences with
which to close his literary work. From
such a storehouse as his mind is the book
will be full of interest and we doubt not
but " hat it will contain much to attract
the attention OF every Bostonian. DIR.
Holmes is lover of his native city and
has been so long identified with its
literary life that he has much to tell. We
only hope that many years yet may be
added to those already gone and that his
graceful pen may not be idle.

This imposition Is attributed to the
greed Of the foreigner, who IL simply do

According to The Tibune's theory, the
foreigner ought to have taken the McKin

IhE ElRST GUN.

On saturday next the opening gun OF
this campaign will be fired and from that
time on the political atmosphere will be
full and heavy with talk upon the mo-
meptous issues respecting the welfare OF
the country that are now before US. The
Rocky Point gathering promises to be a
memorable one and every Democrat
should make every effort to be present.
The gallant Governor Of Massachusetts
who I'm two campaigns has returned VIC
tor will be present to give courage and
stimulate the Democrats OF Rhode Island
to better work. Mayors Matthews,
Coughlin and Carmichael, three sturdy
sires of the Massachusetts Democracy,
will also be present together
with several members Of Congress. The
great leader OF Democracy himself,
Grover Cleveland, is expected to attend.
He has not forgotten the cordial welcome
extended to him here last Spring. The
younger element of the party is not to be
forgotten and the Young Mems Demo-
cratic Club OF Harvard College is TO he ther,
and have charge OF its portion OF TIA,
exercises and no doubt the young mer
will do good work on that occasion. w,
trust that large delegation will be pres
ent from this city to swell the hosts o

fought with interest for us all and VI
must be In the ranks Of the advancin,
