Thy tender love is free.

Sweet waters fresh and cool
As mornings sparkling dew.

And quench our thirst again.

Congress to Build houses Tor inc
Cabinet. the States FOR the senators.
In conversation the other day
the President stated that there
were three things he hoped to sec
at least 'inaugurated" before he
retired from office. ain the first
place" said he, 81 want the Govern
mcnt 70 erect suitable buildings for
all its officers entitled 10 quarters.
We are now paying for rented
quarters about Sl75,000 u year.
This money and the interest on il
would in few years pay for the
| buildings required" The President
added, that, besides, it was due to
great Government like ours that ii
should own the buildings occupied
| by its officers for the transaction Of
| It's business.
He continued. "AuOther thing 1
want to see inaugurated before l re-
tire from Office is the erection Of
suitable houses, private residences,
! for the members of the Cabinet
They are expected 10 entertain
great deal, and must live In COM
parativcly good houses. If they
have not private fortunes, it re-
quircs nearly all their salary to pay
rent, and they have little to live
on The Presidents idea is that
these houses should not only be
built but generally furnished by
the Government.
He hopes, too, 10 see move
ment inauguratod by the several
States to build residences for their
! Senators. This, of course, would
be followed by the erection Of fine
residences by members of the
House Of Representatives who have
large fortunes and can afford it..
These views Of the President, al
though not entirely new Chat a
bout the residences for Senators
having been agitated several years
ago. can not fail to make a favor
able impression, backed as they
! will be by his influence. 1t IS not
E improbable that before the expira-
: ton Of his term the President viii
, call the attention of Congress tC
, this subject in ono Of his annual
