DRESS REFORM.

Representative TimberlaSe, of High"
Jackson, has thrown down the gauntlet
to the new woman and 1t is safe to say
1t will not be allowed to remain upon
the ground. The bill which he introduced
in the house Saturday last and which
will undoubtedly be met with disap-
prevail by the fair sex, reads as follows
DRESS REFORM.
To regulate the dress of women and
maintain the distinction OF dress of the
sexes.
Section l. Be it enacted by the general
assembly of Alabama, That it shall be
unlawful for any woman to appear in
any public place in this state, attired in
the habit or any part of the habit of man.
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted, That no
woman shall appear in any public place
in this state, so adorned as to unduly
excite the passions of men.
Sec. 8. Be it further enacted That Sec
tons l and of this act shall imply all
such articles of dress, known as tights,
bloomsrs, shirt waists and all articles of
dress commonly worn by men at this
time.
Mr.. Timberlake undoubtedly meant
well for the fairer sex and evidently had
a kindly thought for the bald heads and
youth of the land when from his fertile
little did he think that he was preparing
to draw down upon his head the maledic-
tons of many, yea, all of the women of
Alabama when he included the words
"bloomers' and "shirt waists" as coming
under the bans of the law.
Ask any woman her opinion of the shirt
waist and she will readily tell you that
they are the most economical and cheap
est article Of dress ever originated by
the dressmaker. They are comfortable,
neat and not at all masculine, While not
in the Gressmaking business we venture
the assertion that not one woman in one
hundred who wears shirt waists will ap-
prove of Mr.. Undertakes bill, and were
it left to vote of the gentler sex we
wager there would not be 100 votes cast
against them in the entire state-unless
the dressmakers offered objection be-
cause of the article of dress being dam
aging to their business.
AS for blooners, there can be but one
thing said, and that is-unless one cares
to make war on cycling by the fair sex
they had best leave boomers alone In
this outdoor exercise they are as es-
sential to woman as Is the wheel itself
Had the gentleman from High" Jack
son offered bill requiring all wheelwo-
men to wear bloomers he would, like Rep
resentative Robinson, have won laurels
for himself. While the boomers are UNI
slightly, they are needful SO far as de-
cency is concerned.

TRIBUTE TO SENATOR pUGH.

The defeat of this distinguished gentle
man in the Alabama legislature last Mon
day, for reelection to the United States
senate, where he has served the people
of his state SO long and faithfully, Is no
reflection on his honesty, integrity or
ability. His advanced years, and the
fact that the people desired to honor an
other worthy democrat who has fought
years without reward was the prime
cause of his defeat Senator Pugfr will
retire to private life with the love, re-
spect and esteem of his people and party

The New York Sun thinks the origin
of the free silver 16 to l movement was
for the purpose of showing to the world
what the democratic party really thinks
of Mr.. Cleveland as a democrat and as
a leader. In this the Sun is incorrect.
Not even the most rabid republicans
question the honesty of the free silver
advocates, besides, it was known many
months before the Chicago convention
that Mr.. Cleveland has lost favor
with his party. The Sun is too late shy
ing its democratic caster into the ring
to make believe its policy is only better
for the country than that Of Mr.. Cleve-
land.

-Four years, ago Oscar Hundley occu-

Jefferson county is now paying for two

salaries of the circuit judge and circuit
solicitor with $500 each. The county So
licitor $1,000 besides $1,000 set aside by
law to pay an assistant, and the Incl
dental expenses of his Office so it will be-
seen that Jefferson is paying two solicit
