Names Question.


Names Question.
To the EDITOR of lhe TzLEsEAsi-HGEALD.
As your article in the TriEGRAN-HEEALp
Saturday morning headed South End
Wrangie' seems 10 have been written either
by one opposed TO changing the names OF
the streets. or in the interest OF that side of
the question, and it IS nothing more than
fair than that those desiring the change
should be heard. Your article SAYS the
strongest and, in fact, the only argument in
favor of the change Is, that strangers are
confused by the strange names, etc. and If
the streets were changed 10 avenues the diff
iicuty would be reduced 10 minimum We
admit this 20 be argument enough ana
think il sufficient grounds for changing the
streets TO avenues named in numerical ro-
tation As for there being any "pique" or
spite about this matter that S all
nonsense: its nothing more or less
than a needed improvement for the accom-
odatiOn of this rapidly growing part OF the
city. and no dsrespect intended TO the
Smiths, the Campaus, or any other old pio-
neers anv more than the. changing of
Withev Street TO Fifth Avenue was.
Your article sounds very much as though
II might have been the milk IN the cocoa
nut of a speech that Aid. Stanley wanted
Mr.. Church 20 deliver before the Council
last Monday night but which was objected
%. and they take this method of ventilating
themselves on the subiect. As ! said before
This j. not done oGt OF pique, spite or dlsre-
spect To any old pioneers, bat IFS an i'm
rroyement we need. and as all in the South
End. with a few exceptions, see II IN that
light. and il would be a great convenience
TO all Without any expense to the city.
there IS no reason why the change should
not be made, and II viii be.

President Cleveland More Araesable to
His Obligations to she Democracy in
Congress.
WASHINGTON, January 20.-There
are indications that the President is
preparing for. q possible conflict be-
tween the legislative and executive
departments OF the government by 3
more plisnt policy. Itis believed that
the President noE begins to see she
vital importance to the success Of his
Administrations of the cordial support
of his party in Congress. Represents
tives interested IN securing appoint
ments have marked with pleasure q
recent change in the manner in which
their Recommendations have been re-
ceived by the Executive. Men who
have taken alnbrase at the cavalier
manner the President has formerly
treated their requests for Office are
now received at the White House in q
vastly different style.
It is observed by Democratic Con-
gressmen that the quiet desire mani
tested by the President to make close
friends with members of his own party
manifested itself about the time trou-
bic was threatened regarding confirms
tions between the Executive and the
Republican majority in the Senate.
Mr.. Cleveland doubtless appreciates
thoroughly the unenviablc position he
would occupy with msjority Of the
Democratic party in the House, SIS
we'll as majority Of the Republican
Senate, arrayed against him.
