The PROPOSED BILL providing for the
extension of the streets of Washington
is justly held by the Commissioners as
the most important legislation ever sub
mitted TO their consideration. 1t is not
only important, but urgent, and action
should be taken at once. Day by day
the necessity becomes more imperative,
for day by day the growth of the
suburbs goes on, and the complications
which il involves are constantly multi
plying. In order to meet the require
ments Of sewerage, water and gas sup
ply and street improvements, the sooner
some definite system is adopted the bet
ter for every property holder in the
outlying sections, as well as for citizens
generally, all of whom are more or less
concerned in the permanent and sym
metrical location of the streets and ave-
nues of the District.

A Joke on General spinola.

Amos Cummings of New York said to a
CRITIC reporter last night that when General
Spinola was in the New York Legislature
some of the boys played trick on the General
by presenting him with lemon pie, for which
the General had decided weakness. The
inside was fixed up in a most tempting man
ner In the inside was piece Of thin shoe
leather, on which the General tried his molars
unsuccessfully. When asked how he liked
the pie he said: "The crust was delicious but
the lemons must have been grown during the
time of Confucius." 'From that day to this
said Mr.. Cummings, "the General has fought

WASHINGTON, AUGUST Ii, 1888.

The BILL FOR THE regulation Of tele-
graph companies, which passed the
Senate yesterday without discussion or
objection, places all such companies
under the jurisdiction Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and contains
stringent provisions against unfair dis
elimination in rates. The Commission
is thus placed in substantially the same
relations to the telegraph system that 1t
occupies toward the railroads, and will
find its duties and responsibilities mate
rally increased.
The bill, so far as it goes, is unques-
tionably in the interest of the public,
and will prove of advantage to the COM
merce of the country; but instead OF
thus associating the telegraph lines and
the railroad corporations, we feel quite
sure that to combine the telegraph with
The postal service, under the direct su-
pervision and control of the Govern
ment, would be more in accord with
public sentiment, and in the end afford
cheaper rates. This change will come
sooner or later In the meantime the
bill may be accepted as a recognition
of the principe that the Government
may place the telegraph lines under its
management whenever ii may be
deemed expedient to do so. To put
them in charge of the Interstate Com
merce Commission is but step, yet a
very important step. in the right direc-
ton,

Quietly, like child
That sinks In slumber mild,
No pain or troubled thought his well'earned
peace TO mar
Sank into endless rest our thunder-bolt of war.
Though his the power to smite,
Quick as tho lightning's light
His single arm an army, and his name host,
Not his the love of blood, the warriors cruel
boast.
But IN the battles flame
How glorious he came
Even like white-combed wave that breaks and
While wreck lies strewn behind, and terror flies
before.
Twas he-his voice, his might
Could stay the paniOight,
Alone shame back the headlong, manyleagued
And turn to evening triumph mornings foul
defeat.
He was our modern Mars,
Yet firm his faith that wars
Erelong. would cease TO yex the sad ensan-
guined earth
And peace forever reign, as at Chrsts holy
birth.
Blest land in whose dark hour
Doth rise to mghtiest power
No dazzler OF the sword to play the tyrants
But patrlotsoldiers, true and pure and high Of
heart
OF such our chief OF all;
And he who broke the wall
OF civil strife In twain, no more TO build or
mend;
And he who hath this day made Death his faith.

The FUNERAL CEREMONIES of General
Sheridan at st. Matthew's Church to-day,
and subsequently at his last resting
place upon the heights of Arlington,
were Of most impressive character and
with just enough military display to
beft the burial of so great and thorough
a soldier. None Of the distinguished
commanders of the war have gone to
the grave amidst more universal sorrow,
for Sheridan occupied peculiar place
in the affections of the American people.
They had learned to admire his skill
and intrepidity in the field. They had
long since recognized the splendor of his
services and their substantial fruits, and,
above all, they had found in his heroic
character the attributes of patriot and
statesman as we'll as soldier and those
honorable personal qualities which
made his household model of domestic
peace and himself citizen without re-
proach.

most agile and aggressive canvass, and

IT is NOT an edifying spectacle, nor
does it tend to increase ones appetite,
to sit at table and see the reaches
playing hide-and-seek among the crack
ers Yet this is the common sight that
meets the gaze of every one who, in q
hurry, drops into the House restaurant
for bite of something to eat. We say
it more in sorrow than in anger. Some
time since, owing to q general COM
plant, resolution was introduced call
ing for an investigation of the manage
ment of the House restaurant and
the food dispensed thereat, but for
some unknown cause the investigation
never took place and Members who
cannot spare the time to go over to the
Senate side either do without lunch,
or make fight with the reaches on
the House side. Yesterday afternoon
the removal from the House restaurant
of the accumulated slops filled the corri.
dors of the House and galleries with 9
stencil so sickening that number Of
ladies were near fainting, and it became
necessary for while TO close the win
