THE STREET MARKET.
Some Further Reasons why II should be
Let Alone

To THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE Many
and various are the arguments aud Opinions
In regard TO the location of our street
market and fail TO find any good reason
why II should be removed from King street.
The good people living west Of Market
street often indulge IN peculiar mania for
something. They were nearly beside them
selves a few years ago about spending
some 5000 for park. They also insisted
ON having the Court House away out Of the
city on the side OF hill known as the City
Park. This spot Is so lonely that the city
pays for watchman TO protect those who
happen TO pass that way. Then, another
thing, that these western gentlemen are
looking after is the sale OF building lots
and the increase Of the valuation of their
property. But our people are not blind,
and are used 10 such flights Of western ex-
tension. The great bulk Of business done
In any city, IA near railroad dcpots, freight
houses and wharves, and It is nonsense to
talk about removing our market to such
quiet and out Of the way place as Madison
street. Nearly every person has business on
Market street Ut the eastern eide every day
in the week. The post office, banks, tele-
graph Offices, newspapers, City Hall, Court
House, lawyers and merchants OF any note
are 70 be found here, which makes this the
head-centre OF business.
No, Mr.. Editor, see no reason to dis
turb our market, or remove IL from King
street. Ater looking at the whole matter
am convinced that King street 10 the best
street In our city for curbstone market.
French street is not TO be thought OF, as peo-
pie do not wish to eat sand and have their
eyes blinded with dust. think Council
should drop this question of markets and
do something for the benefit of the whole
city and let the farmers have rest and en-
courage them TO come here and bring us
good fresh fruit, vegetables and other farm
products. Now, am for the farmers, first,
| last and all the time, aud will do all In my
power to protect them In their humble and
lawful business, ami will oppose any mea-
sure that will disturb them or give them
| trouble. do not desire TO see our farmers
form company or combine together and
ship their products elsewhere. No, want
what I eat cheap and from first hands,

THE MURDERER OF GARFIELD.

1t is no doubt to be regretted
that people will insist on hearing res
peated the annals of crime; but as
long rs the fatal fascination prevails,
it is better that the story of criminal
deeds should be recited in the spirit
of history. Whoever will read such
a story should not fail to peruse
" Ridpath's Life and Trial of Gui-
teau, just issued from the press of
Jones Brothers & Co., of Cincinnati,
Chicago, apd Kansas City. The
work, without being needlessly elab-
crate, embraces everything of inter
est connected with the trial of the
wretch who killed the President. 1t
is the authors best vein. The book,
in addition to being published as
separate work, is also issued as
supplement to the " Life and Work
of Garfield" by the same author.
The latter book is thus swelled to q
very handsome illustrated volume of
800 pages, although the publishers
make no increase in the prices.

Narrow Gauge Railroads.

The masses of the people do not
have an idea to what extent narrow
gauge roads have been built during
the past seven or eight years. The
record at the close of 1881 shows
that over twenty-five hundred miles
of incorporated 3 feet gauge roads
have been built, let alone what have
been constructed by private individu>
ais and companies.
The Denver and Rio Grande with
her 900 miles of narrow gauge was
the first to demonstrate the practi-
cability of the three-foot gauge in
the United States.
The Toledo and Delphas and Bur-
lington, with its five hundred miles of
road running side by side, with that
OF the wider gauge, is reaching out
Westward towards st. Louis, from
Toledo and Delphas and Eastward
from Delphas to Cleveland and
Youngstown, and South to Dayton
into the coal fields of Ohio. The

If the present Congress estab-
fishes reputation as working Con-
gress. it has to do it in the future.
It has been In session now more
than three months and no bill of
special importance has become law,
except the apportionment bill, and
that ought to have passed both
houses in week, A funding bill
has passed the Senate, but is still
pending in the House, and there are
those who believe it will not be
heard from again. The anti>polyg-
amy bill has passed the Senate, but
has not yet passed the House. Sew
eral thousand bills have been intro
duced in the two Houses, majority
OF which are of minor Importance.
Many of them were introduced for
buncombe." with no expectation
that they would ever become laws.
There has seldom been a Congress
where so little has been done in any
three months of its existence, while
in session, as by the present one.
1t is not a lazy Congress, but loqua-
cious and lacking in system. There
is time yet for it to redeem itself, and
we hope it will do it If it can do
nothing else, it might adjourn and
go home.
