WEST END NOTES.

The question that seems to De agl-
taliug the minds Of a great many,
just at this time, is whether the
uoopskirt and chignOn is to super
cede the stsnding-cOllar, cravat,
white shirt front aud the tight pin
back dress. There ought to be some
kind OF u dress reform made, but ust
what kind Of change is needed, we
are not competent TO say. The pin
back dress has reached such a de-
gree of tigntness that all that is
needed to make pair OF pantalOons
Tor a dude is seam run through the
center Of the skirt, dividing it into
compartments. One advantage the
hoOpskirt v ill afford we old bache-
Tors, is that we can more easily die
Iinguish the fair sex from the dude.
The hOOpskirt has already made its
appearance IN the store wind Jws, and,
judging from the size of the samples
shown, they are to be- immense, and
it will be Impossible for two ladies
wearing them to pass on the pave
ment. III the hOOpskirt is to be the
it down, for the ladies' will have the
latest styles, 10 matter how aWk-
ward and clumsy they may appear.
We are glad to learn that the re-
port that was circulated some time
since, as coming from President
Cleveland, to the effect that he
would not appoint an editor to office,
is untrue, ana that the editors still
have showing to get some pie"
We know of one editor who, per-
haps, might be persuaded to LenO (eI)
his services to the administration, il
the President should see fit to offer
him All appointment, such as Pubic
Printer, or some other good paying
office. He has always taken a bOlO
stand for Democracy, and his paper
Was one OF the first in the State to
speak out for straight Democracy,
while other papers were holding off
to see which way the popular tide
wCuld turn.
The amendment to the four mile
law, introduced by Senator Whit
thorne, to allow ale, beer and wine to
be sold out. ide of an Incorporated
town, we are glad to learn, has been
rejected. The four mile law is good
one and it ought to sland just as it is.
Just as soon as it was known that the
amendment had been offered, some
parties commenced making arrange
ments to open a saloon in West End
We don't need saloon in this part
/ OF the city; we are most too convent
ent now to the saloons in the corpo-
ration, for the good of some of us.
