DEMOCRACY AND COURT-DRESS.
From the fkiluulay Review.
An extremely curious debalc Is reported to
have recently taken place In the House of Repre
sentatives at Washington, on the subject of
clothes'. A distinguished writer in our own
country has taught us the emblematic signifi
cance of clothe, and ha", iua manner, based an
entire philosophy of lile and human nature upon
them, Nobody who has studied the close con
nection which exists between each element of
conduct and feeling, and every other clement,
can be in the least surprised to find that a demo
cratic policy Becma to lead to democratic man
ners and costume. All one's ldea3 move together,
with varying degrees of intensity, but at the
bidding of a common Impulse. Emancipation
from imaginary slavery to one of those typical
tvraots whom excited poets accuse of devouring
the earth, leads to a vast number of result
Vhlchjhave no immediately political connection.
In a Stale founded on the conception that all
men are equal, all sort9 of social consequcni-es
flow from what at first seems an exclusively
political Idea. You must not have ditlerent
classes of railway carriages for different orders
in a country where, theoretically at least, there
are no orders. You may expectorate at your
own sweet will in a free country. You may go
to dinners and to balls in a frock-coat, or a
shooting-jacket, or anything else you liKc,
among a people where one man's idea bt what is
becoming is quite as respectable ami authori
tative as another's. The debate, however, to
which we have referred, and tho resolution
which was carried in consequence, implies an
extension of these freu social principles t.r
which one was hardly prepared, for the future
no representative or the great Republic at a
foreisn Court is to wear the conrt-tlre3 of the
country to which he is Rccredite i.
Thi9 curious piece of legislation is duo to Mr.
Bumner, who introduced the resolution into Uo
Senate, In the lower chamber It gave rise 10
unbounded Jocosity. One honorable member,
it appears, moved an amendment, not only for
bidding a diplomats trom wearing court-dress,
but also prescribing the kind of dress which bo
hall wear on' great occasions. Among other
Items in this proposed costume, there was to be
"a i cocked-hat looped up with an American
eagle," and ."a swullow-talled coat with stars
and stripes on the tails, butternut pantaloon,
close-fitting stockings with gaiters, and a buck
skin vest with one side black and the other side
white." But this elegant humor was far ex
ceeded by anotbtr gentleman, who moved
"that diplomatic agents shall not be permitted
to wear any court-drees except such as shall be
prescribed, and the patterns drawn, by the cWef
tailor of the nation, lotto is now presiding over Us
destinies."
This graceful reference to the fact that Mr.
Johnson had once been a tailor was at once
cen to be b steeped in wit and fancy that
the House was convulsed with laughter.
Some English people are very angry at this,
and insist that it is only in a democratic
country that a man could be taunted
With the lowness of his origin. This, however,
is a mistaken view of the matter. Tiie speaker
did not mean what be said us a taunt, but as a
joke and bit of humor. Even from this point
of view it Is bad and rude enough. The joke
is a specimen of that sort ot fun which con
sist in thtowlng yourself ironically and for
the moment among a set of ideas which are not
your own, and measuring an object by an alien
standard.
To our notions, of course, the humor is a
shade too grim to be decent. But American
irony sticks at nothing, borne of the most char
acteristic of American jests, though they do not
often get into print, turn upon a peculiarly
daring treatment of things of which sober per
sons usually speak with bated breath. Such a
gibe as this against the chief tailor presiding
over the national destinies is not the product of
the political ideas of the United States, but a
mark of the stage of manners at which they
have arrived. It would be impossible in our
House of Commons; not because the House
represents oligarchic ideas in politics, but be
cause we have a very long civilization at tho
back ot us, while the Americans have only a
very short civilization. Una wishes very much
that the Americans would advance rather more
rapidly in the pursuit of the amenities; only let
us not father on demociacy tbe offenses against
pood taste and fastidiousness which are really
due to the social state, nnd which after all are
not a bit more repugnant to modern politeness
than the manners of our own senators a genera
tion or two back and they were aristocratic
enongh, m all conscience. y
The question whether the American Ambas
sadors should wear spotted waistcoats, shoo
bucklcs, swords, and eo forth, was no joke to
them. Somehow, in some eyes, it involves
the supremacy of the United States. By an in
scrutable mental process, the shoe-buckles and
swallow-tails recalled to tbe mind of Mr. Banks
the alleged prophecy of Turcot, that the United
States would prove to be the Carthage of the
modern world. Mr. Batiks put a truly remarka
ble and original interpretation upon thK l or
it is usually supposed that in the ancient world
Carthage was, on the whole, something like a
failure. At all events, nobody thinks that the
Carthaginians impressed their ideas very deeply
or permanently ou the surrounding world. But
Seople like Mr. Banks choose to have new
leones ot history, just as they choose to have
everything else new.
Bo'he supposes that the Carthaginian fune
tlon'which the United States are destined to
fulfil in the great State-system of the modern
world, is to impress new notions upon the mind
Of Europe. For the future, the grand storehouse
' of fertilizing ideas for Europe will no longer be
the mystical East, but the more fresh a ad
glorious West. We are to begin simply, and to
advance gradually from things small to the
very greatest. Breeches will be the form in
which American missionary effort will first
touch the heart and understanding of Europe,
ller initial function is to teach Europe how to
dress. If an Englishman goes to the Coftrt
of Dahomey, Mr. Banks might ask, docs lie
doff bis own habitual raiment and don a fig
leaf, a string of beads, and a hat? Why
then should an American citizen at Bt.
James' or at the Tuileries urray lumself in a
flowered satin waittcoat, a suull-colored
coat, and a sword, tiruply because the bar
oarous etiquette of those courts prescribes
such absurd and inconeruous apparel ? Euro
peans ought to be taught better, and the only
way to instruct thcin is to refuse comoliance
with a prepoKterous U6age. Longum est iter per
prcecepla, brere et cfiicitx per erempia. Mr. Banks
apparently believes in au original and peculiar
modtncation ot the famous saying of Fletcher of
fialtoun. Let w ho will make laws for Eurone.
provided America may furnish the. pattern lor
Its coat and breeches. Mr. bumner is much too
sensible a man to ejmpathize with thts extra
ordinary and most exalted notion of the busi
ness of American representatives iu Europe. It
Is suld, indeed, that be brought the motion for
ward, not in order to favor Europe with chilce
speolmeusof American or Cuithaenian tailor

to this department. They are weak In a-sthetic;),
and they are therefore weak In tailoring. Vet

at the costuo.es of too oriB,nl and inventive
venlcnt than the costume In whlch.on great ocea
sions, respectable gentlemen are made to figure?
"They will be mistaken for butlers and men
servants," one gentleman said, in drpreeation
of Mr. fumner's motion, "if they only dress like
an ordinary American citizen." Most men, how
ever, who have arrived at. a decorous middle
ape, would, we should think, much rather run
the risk of being mistaken for butlers than ex
pose their wretched shanks to the cold of the
atmosphere and the suppressed ridicule of the
multitude, A calflcss great man and it is
surprising how otten great men are callless
will look with envy upon the American who
can clothe his legs iu the decorous obscurity of
trousers.
It Is a little difficult to keep from laughing at
the idea of so much fuss bein$ made about so
unimportant a concern. JSlill it is worth re
membering lhat, no further bark lhan the com
mencement of the present Parliament, some
commotion arose in ourown House of Commons
bf cause two ot its most distinguished members,
Mr. Mill and Mr. Bright, objected to attend
the Speaker's dinner in the prescribed costume,
and therefore could not attend at all. And
then there was the recent diplomatic thunder
storm aroused by the refusal of the Pope's
porter to admit a vehicle drawn by a single
norsc, even though behind the single horse sat
the representative of the potent lUpmark. To all
expostulation the porter only replied with his
august master's usual Non possumus. If one
thinks of etiquette run to seed in this imbecile
fashion, there is something rather sensible in
tbe American resolution to have nothing to do
with a system which develops such monstrous
silliness.
Iniflgine a big sheaf of despatches being writ
ten about the conduct of the Pope's porter in re
fusing to admit a oue-horse brougham. This
sort of snobbish spliit is common enough
among vcrvenus and upstarts, but it is amazing
in an Old-established family like that of the Va
tican. There, if anywhere, we should think
they could afford to know mere one-horse
pfo'ple. Compared with folly like this, at any
rate, the line taken by the pareenus of the West
is worthy of all admiration. There is so little
dancer of our having too lax a code of etiquette
in Europe, that an infusion cf unceremonious
ness from the West is not likely to do us any
harm. It ia more likely to do us good, by stirau
la'ing r.e to brush away a certain portion of
cobwebby usage which does not make public
lile anv more dignified, while it does make it
doridedly less wholesome and free.
