rest at Big Spring.


rest at Big Spring.
Away from this dark world of care
He sleeps in deaths cold embrace;
His soul has gone to mansions where
Gods children sing redeeming grace
The flowers Of spring will open soon
Above his silent sleeping grave;
While far beyond the lonesome tomb
He blooms afresh with decay.
The birds of spring will warble forth
Their notes Of praise and Joy,
While he around the eternal throne
Sings Gods praise without alloy
Then cease, ye friends, to weep and mourn
For he who has gone to rest
In that eternal, blissful home,
And on his Savi0r's breast.
Farewell to ny devoted wife
And daughter kind and true;
Far beyond in heavenly light
hope to meet with you.

The creation of corporations with power to
run passenger railways in cities for the sole
benefit of their tockholders il now seen by
all intelligent men to have been in contra
vention of public policy. Ths franchises SO
granted are of a kind which ought always to
be retained in the hands of the municipality.
Even if it is too late to go back AMI correct
the error by which existing corporations
were created, 1t is easy to stop and take no
more such false aud injurious steps. When
more street railways ara needed they shonld
be built in pursuance of a general systematic
plan, and should remain the property of
aud under control of the city authorities.
Then the mex natural measure would le to
condemn and purchase the old lines and
have street car systsm which would bs
credit to the principle of self-governnlnsnt.

The project ola straight boulevard through
the Mail from the Capitol to the Washington
Monument has dsveioysd considerable oppo.
sition. Perhaps compromise could lie sug-
gested to which no one would object. The
present principal driveway through the va.
rious parks along this route is imperfect in
parts aud brOk Oh by obstacles. After round
ing the Monument II sseends slope " here
the roadbsd is broken and sandy. The cross
ing at Fourteenth street Is exceedingly
rough, aud made worse by the fact that the
entrance TO the Agricultural Department
grounds Is not opposite that to the Monu-
ment grounds. Both are unpie assntly mar.
row. The same difficulty is encountered in
aors ca less modified form in crossing to the
Smithsonian grounds and again at Seventh
street. Then, after spfmOgnting the bridge
at Sixth street, the road seems 10 run up

Senator Ransom's proposed amendment to
the River and Harbor bill, appropriating
half million for the continuation of the
improvement of the harbor of Washington,
will unquestionably be adopted by the Sem
ate. There may he some kicking in the
House, partly by those who regard dollar
spent here as dollar feloniously abstracted
from the Treasury, and partly by those who
do not really object to the appropriation,
but want to make small political capital at
home, by saying that sit was done by the
"Republicap Senate" But the amendment
will, We believe. be acquissced in finally by
the House. Wewish We conld speak as cheer.
fully of the action of the Executive. The
President would uuquestionably sign sepa-
rate bill providing for the continuation of
the improvement of the harbor of tbs Capi-
tai. But whether he will sign such River
and Harbor bill as will be cooked up in con-
ference committee is another question.

There is one way in which some economy
might be effected in the expenditure for
our schools The terms generally begin at
the most oppressive period of our most op-
pressive month. Little harm would come
from opening the public schools about two
weeks later, and the change would be a
great convenience for many families who like
to take their vacation in September. which
is indeed by far the best month to select for
the purpose.

The District officials are learning by ex.
perience that Congress only grants the
requests Of the importunate aud persistent
petitioner. No new improvement, however
msritOrious, no increase in the growing needs
OF the community however urgent, are rec.
Ognized by Congress, unless pressed upon
the leaders Of that body by constant nagging
and untiring button holing. They have
learned the lesson little late, but not
too late to have done great service. We
trust they will profit by the experience of
the session and begin in season to lay their
plans for next winters campaign, urging the
necessities OF the District before the Presi.
dent and Secretary Of the Treasury so a. to
meet with proper recognition in the annual
estimates. Then let them knock boldly and
vigorously at the doors of Congress and ask
for what they want. This is the only way
to get anything from Congress-. The District
Commissioners seem to have learned this
lesson.

There ought to ba no hesitation in reject
ing any and all of the strset railway bills
before Congress. There is no need to i'm
pugn the motives of the promoters of these
schemes, but it is evident that they are
sssking self-interest instead of the public
good. The Congress which grants more
charters to gridiron the streets of this city
with railway tracks will do the National
Capital and its inhabitants an injury for
which 1t can never atone. No present ne.
cessity exists for cutting up more of our
streets. The existing lines, with few
natural extensions, ara amply sufficient for
the public needs. 1t is their duty to provide
all the transportation facilities necessary
for our population. When they fail to do
this Congress has the power and should
compel them to perfo rm the service for
which they were chartered. Creating new
corporations i'd not the proper remedy for
any inadequacy of service. That remedy
consists in regulating the existing COM
panies.
