A PULL ALL TOGETHER

The District Commissioners are the
proper originators of requests to Con-
gress for appropriations. If our poo'
pie want TO make suggestions in that
line, now Is the time while estimates
for the next year are being made. If
there is any serious purpose of having
concerted action by the citizens in re-
lation to the city's needs, now Is the
time to begin.
When the Appropriation Committee
of the House gets 10 grinding, It will
he unfortunate If the Commissioners
shall be of one mind, committees Of
citizens another, and the press of several
Others Congress will not be very
much impressed by scattering recon.
mendations and protests, and any in
reference with the Commissioners
may result simply in reducing appro.
rriations.
What is most desirable is that the
people and the press should second the
recommendation Of the Commission.
ers, and to insure this 1t is desirable
that the Commissioners should Gu
courage the people to present to them
whatever may seem good.
True, the Commissioners are not di-
Tectly responsible to the people of the
District, not having been made by
them, neither can they be unmade by
them. None the less true is 1t that "all
governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed"
The Car recognizes this truth. When
he fails to he will go. Our Commis-
sioners are gentlemen of courtesy and
enlightenment. Let US all aid them to
understand the public needs. 1t is safe

THREE GRAVES,
G live, this dead man here,

How did he live, this dead man here,
With the temple above his grayeg
He lived as great one, from cradle to bier
lie was nursed In luxury, trained in pride,
When the wish was born, II was gratifel;
With thanks he took, without heed he gave.
The common man was To him clod
From whom lie was far as q demigod.
His duties TO see that his rents we're paid.
His pleasure! To know that the crowd
obeycd.
His pulse, if you felt it, throbbed apart
With a separate stroke from the peoples
But whom did he love, and whom did he
bless
Was the life of him more than mans or lessY
know not. lie died. There was none TO
And as few to weep; but these marbles came
For the temple that rose 10 preserve his
name.
How did he live, that other dead man,
From the graves apart and alonei
As great one, tOOt Yes, this was one
Who lived 10 labor and study and plan.
The oarth,s deep thought he loved to reveal;
lie banded the breast OF the land with steel;
The thread Of his toll he never broke;
lie filed the cities with wheels and smoke,
And workers by day aud workers by night,
For the day was too short for his yigor's
flight.
For labor, for gain, was "A life worth living

her.
They say he improved the world in his time,
That his mills and mines were a WORK sublime,
When he died-the labOrers rested. and sighed:
Which was lt-because he had lived, or died
Aud how did he live, that dead man there,
In the country churchyard laid :
o, he; lie came for the sweet field air;
lie was tired OF the town, and he took no
pride
In It's fashion of fame lie returned and died
In the place he loved, where a child he played
With those who have knelt by his grave and
prayed.
He ruled no serfs, and he knew no pride;
lie was one with the workers side by side;
lie hated mill, and mine, aud a town,
with ther fever OF misery, struggle, renOwn;
He could never believe but man was made
For nobler end than the glory of trade.
For the youth he mourned with an endless
pity
Who owere cast like snow on the streets Of the
city.
lie was weak, maybe; hut he lost no friend;
Who loved mm once, loved on 10 the end.
lie mourned all selfish and shrewd endeayor;
But he never injured weak ono-nCYer.
When censure was passed, he was kindly
dumb;
lie was never 50 wise but fault would come,
He was never so old that he failed to enjoy
The games and the creams he had loved when
u boy.
He erred, and was sorry; but never drew
trusting heart from the pure aud truo.
When friends look back from the years TO be,
God grant they may say such things of me-

Vermont Avenue 10 the Front.

EDITOR CRITIC; Doesn't 1t seem rather
queer that the District Commissioners
should propose to extend Massachusetts,
avenue a certain distance, terminating alb
ruptly in the adjoining hills, there to end
till Congress, In its wisdom, may see fit to
legislate for It's extension 10 the Tennally-
town RoadY Some tlmo ago lengthy pc
tition Of property-hoders was presented to
the Commissioners asking to have Vermont
avenue extended TO the Soldiers Home.
The Commissioners replied that they had
no authority to order such extension.
Every one can see at q glance the imme-
diate benefit to the entire community which
would follow the extension of Vermont
avenue as requested. Then there would be
direct broad thoroughfare from the Ex-
eGutlye Mansion to Soldiers Home, park
which Is now enjoyed daily by thousands Of
our citizens, sojOurners aud visitors, al
though II requires a roundabout course TO
reach II. suppose wealthy and infu-
ential syndicate had first bought up strip
OF land extending from the present ter
minus OF Vermont avenue Boundary
street--to the Soldiers Home, would that
have induced any different action on the
part Of the Commissioners?
