MOKE STREETS TO HE PAYED.
The residents along Oakdale avenue on Tuesday eve
ning petitioned the city council to order the paving of
their street. This is said to be but the forerunner of a
number of contemplated street improvements to be un
dertaken as soon as the weather will permit.
Seventh street has been a tremendous argument this
winter for improvement of this kind. While other streets
have been well night impassable owing to muck. Seventh
street could be crossed at almost any point. With one
street in so splendid and the others in so poo- a condition
it is but little wonder that residence streets are to be im-
I'l'cved. .iLtiJt
Xothing speaks louder to the new arrivals than cleanly,
well kept improved streets. They proclaim to the whole
world the character of a city 's residents. They are a splen
did advertisement of prosperity in themselves.
Let the good work go on.
MOUTl'AUY YE USE IX COXdUESS.
The poetical quotations with which the recent eulogies
in the house of representatives, as reported by the Con
gressional Record, are besprinkled show that congress
men remain true to the old favorites. Others may prefer
the newer bards, the Kipling and the rest, and Mr. Kahn
indeed quoted from Fitzgerald's version of Omar to the
effect that .
"We are but pieces of the game he plays
I" pon this checkerboard of nights and davs;
Hither and thither moves and checks and slays
And one by one back in the closet lays."
But the representatives of the people in congress foi
the niot-t part stick to the familiar lines which are em
balmed in liartlett. Thus Mr. l-'oelker quoted. Pryant:
"So live that when thy summons conies to join
The innumerable caravan." etc.
Mr. Bennett went to Cray for
"Full many a gem of purest ray serein-
The dark uufathomed caves of ocean boar;
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen
And waste its sweet tu-ss on the desert air."
Quotations from Cray have a timeliness in view of
the recent celebration of the v ictory on the Plains of Abra
ham by (ieueral .lames Wolfe, who as he re- ited the
boast of heraldry, the pomp i i ower," et,-., s.'i. that he
w.iuid rather be the author of tin' Flow" than tiu captor
. f Quebec.
Mr. Bonynge quoted Longfellow:
"There is no death; what seems so is transition. "
Mr. Burleigh remarked that--
. "Death l-ides ..n every passing breeze,
lie lurks in eei flower."
Mr. Stanley harked l.;i-k -,. Shakespeare
"the elements
So niiM in him that Nature nr'gl ' .r,d up
And say to ail the world. 'This was a ,
Mr. Cole cited F.mers..u :
"So near i grand-, t;;- to our ia-t.
So neat- is 1 I.., I to man.
When Duty whispers low. 'Thou must,
Tin' youth replies. ' I ,-au !' "
"So nigh" is the approved r ading. but the amti
is immaterial. The fa. t for remark is the fu'.elitv ,.f e.
gressinen to the old masters of verse. Tlie. at least r
Hot after the g.-ds of the new Parnassus.
