Uncle Sam as a Dress Reformer
From the Baltimore sun.

The United States government, or at least
some of its agencies. have now engaged in
that most difficult Of all refornsa dress reform.
Ia San Juan, Porto Rico. an edict has gone
forth that the little children shall no longer be
PERMITTED to run naked on the street. Ii will
require cotton goods to cloihe all the little
ones, and the New England mills will make
the cotton goods. Thus will expansion pro
mote trade it it does brake up a custom iour
hundred years old. According TO the Havana
Advertiser, the mayor of that city Is thinking
OF prohibiting clerks aud other employees Of
mercantile establishments from going on
the street wearing their shirt tails outside their
pantaloons. Whether persons engaged 10
other occupations are to be permitted to do SO
or whether this interesting style of dress is con.
fined TO store clerks IS not stated. These gen
tlemeu will doubtless consider it most remark
able that one of the first acts Of government
which comes as liberator should be restric-
ton upon the liberty of wearing their shirts to
suit themselves. This peculiar way of wearing
shirts is, we believe. the prevailing fashion in
Manila. Perhaps it will be prohibited there
upon pain of roundup aud slaughter.
