A MAIDEN,s DREAM.

No foot fall wakens the mansion
Asleep In the suns warm rays,
The Lady Glare Is aweary
OF silence and lonely days,
Loves magic of late has stolen
The charm from her life's still ways.
She turns from her hook, and rises,
To gaze through the easement low
The languorous lily perfumes
Towards her on soft airs blow
White lilies All, once she loved them,
She gathers red roses now.
Oh, when will the noon be sunset,
And over the green hillside,
And up through the becches' shadows
The lover she looks for, rider
And when will this life be ended,
And bring the bright life untriedf
While thus she waits In impatlence,
Nought guesseth tho Lady Glare,
That sweet as are loves red roses,
Full often a thorn they bear,
And the new life that seems SO joyous
May bring with II weight of care.
Perhaps in the years that follow,
When cares press heavily,
And the thorns have pierced through the
roses,
Then. all their dreamings will be
OF the old sweet life mid the lilies,
In madenhood bllthe and free.

AN EDITORIAL article appears In the
New York Star of Thursday rejecting
in terms Of great severity upon the
street railway corporations Of Washing
ton as being grasping, unprincipled
and autocratic monopolies. The oppo-
sition of these companies to new rail-
way enterprises is the evident inspira-
tion of the attack. They are naturally
hostile to improvements that will Ia
any wise infringe upon the patronage
of which they want the exclusive Gu
joyment, or that will necessitate adj
ditional improvements on their own
part in order to compete with more
progressive rivals, but the public is
not disposed to quarrel with the facili-
ties they now have nor to utterly con
demn them as nuisances which ought
to be abolished THE CRITIC is not
only in favor OF our present street-car
companies. so far as they answer the
requirements of the times, but of as
many new ones as the increasing wants
Of the District may demand, built upon
the most approved plans and compelling
. general adaptation Of the entire sys-
tem TO modern standards. Sooner or
later public opinion will regulate this
matter in its own way and for the
greatest good OF the greatest number.

GOVERNOR Hills remarks before
the Bay State Club in Baltimore yes
terday do not tend to confirm the report
that President Cleveland and he are
out. Governor Hill said that the Presi-
dent was ably and satisfactorily per-
forming his duties, and that his honesty
and sincerity of purpose to serve the
people faithfully are conceded by every
one. 1t would seem to be rather diff
cult, under the circumstances, to get up
any unpleasantness between the Presi-
dent and Governor Hill. But very
pretty fight might be arranged between
Mr.. Hill and the Senate, should the
present Governor of New York ever be-
come President. In the same speech,
in which the President was so we'll
spoken of, some very sharp things
were said about the Senate. Governor
Hill would even take from that body
its share in the appointing power which
is vested in 1t by the requirement that
it must first confirm Presidential ap-
pointments before they are consummat-
ed. Governor Hills friends will have to
look elsewhere than to the Senate for
recruits to their ranks.

THE Senate has passed the bill to
provide for an extra major and assist
ant adjutant. general and the President
has also formally nominated First
Lieutenant Adolphus W. Greeley of
the Fifth Cavalry to be captain. The
Senate bill is avowedly intended to
make feasible proper recognition of
Lieutenant Greely's services, and as
his promotion renders him eligible for
vacancy already existing in the Ad-
jutant-General's Department it looks
at last as though our Arctic heroes,
who gave SO much hard and energetic
work to the Government and suffered
so many terrible privatious in the line
of duty, were to be in slight way re-
warded. When and how will the gal
