The Washington critic., 1886-06-03

q delightful one, and a park in that
part of the city is something much to
be desired. THE CRGTIC, indeed, is in
favor Of as many parks as possible.
The land thus consecrated to public
uses pays for itself many times over,
not only in the enhanced value it gives
to adjacent property, but in the health.
comfort and other blessings these
charming resorts confer upon the peo.
pie.
THERE is one thing which the Presi-
dent was asked TO do by way of cele-
brating his wedding day which he
must have overlooked in the hurry OF
his departure for Deer Park, and that
was to order hundred -million.d dollar
bond call in answer to the request of
the National party of Iowa. There will
be time enough to do that after he gets
back.
THE Democrats of Maine, who in
convention at Bangor yesterday nomi-
mated Clark S. Edwards for Governor,
indorsed the administration of Presi.
dent Cleveland as cable, honest and
incorruptible." They did not forge,
at the same time to demand that the
rights of American fishermen be pro
tected at all hazards. There is no par
tisan issue on this question.

II was stated to THE CRITIC to.da,
that Speaker Carlisle and the chairmcl
of the several committees of the Hous
will meet at 8 o. clock tomorrow morn
ing for a conference and agreement a
TO what bills and measures shall b
considered by the House of Representa-
tives during the remainder of the ses
sion.
The statement going the rounds o
the press that only 5000 copies of Mis-
Cleveland's book have been sold is q
erroneous as 1t is ill-natured. TIL
publishers announce that they hav
disposed of more than four times thu
number, and the sale is still on.
THE selection of Deer Park by tn
Presidential bridal party is "big ad.
for the Baltimore and Ohio Railwa
Company. Now we know where tn
great honeymoon resort of the futur
is to be.
WHEN Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland settl
down to housekeeping she ought to es
cort him to market now and then an
take him around town walking, so thu
he will get acquainted with the city.

What This the streety This humdrum ro
OF bricks and mortar Rather say
La RE des Mlutdis GarcOnS Nay
Methought some shining stream would flow
Between green banks, fern-frnged and lo'
And summer gardens all a'blow.
Where childrens treble voices ring,
And echo down the by-ways far,
And eyes as blue as angels are,
Smile on the flowers with gentle looks,
And bend DER tasks in pleasant books,
On watch which way the swallows wing.
They sing like birdlings In the nest
No angry frown nor sullen brow
In fancy can see them now;
