Pray Remove That Fence.-Shak.

Oh, aldermen. in council assembled
Before whom the masses have trembled,
VIII you turn your gaze in the direction
OF our beautiful, our lovely park extension,
And before you put up new boulevard,
Try for once. as a change, to look hard
Before you leap and spend the city's money
In repairing the outskirts and making a funny
Promenade, when you should surely
Pull down the plebean and purely
Imitation fence, which is supposed
To protect the park from the ravages
OF the cattle that roam our avenues
At large, aud are occasionally exposed
To be chased by brave officer who is
Out of 'chink" and would make the people
Think that he is but attending to his duties
In chasing this wild and untamed cattle;
When, in truth, he is but pocketing
Enough money for Saturdays marketing.
o., fathers. if l digress from this subject
'Tis to bring more fcrcibly to you the object
OF these lines. BY removing this unsightly
fence,
Even if it should cost a few dollars and cents,
Would it not improve the looks of the city,
And offer more attractions for the faraway
Yankee
To spend his winters in this sunny genial cline
And grow fat and jolly, instead of lean, long
and lanky,
And flll the DE Soto five hundred at time
Singing and screaming this pleasant little ditty:
Here's to the dear old park extension,
With its lovely avenues and walks around,
Where the grand old oaks without pretension,
Giving cool and welcome shade to the ground.
Here let us stay and enjoy our days,
And never go back to those winds, so blea and
cold,
With their shrieks ahd cries and narrow-freez-
ing ways.
Here we must stay and ne'er grow old
And think what fools we have been
To ever have stayed so long"
But, fathers, this song will never exist
II you do not condescend to take pity
On US, and have this great iniquity
Removed at once from our midst.
Oh! think one moment of the beauty
OF a walk that around would be mile
And how the prone laders wouldu t be in duty
Bound to promenade up aYd down one aisle.
And then our girls would follow certain
Physicians advice, an not be without glo-
riOus color,
ana stay dreaming, behind the tightly drawn
curtain
Till twelve, of a fair youth W ithout a single
dollar.
Oh, fathers before close this request
Please promise to think and act on it,
Bearing in mind that it is to suggest
A measure for good without much cost
A measure which hope will not be lost,
AS one Of your members sometimes are,
By calmly lying on the table at rest,
Catching softly the passing particles Of dust,
Which, in time, cover it from the far
Reaching sight Of him who is cracked on it.

The Rush TO Oklahoma.

In less than three weeks Oklahoma will
be open to settlers, and all the indications
are that there will be a condition of affairs
there such as has never yet been witnessed
in this country. The movement towards
the new territory is extraordinary. Up to
the present time there have been received
at the railroad offices in st. Louis more
than 5000 applications for transporta ion.
The Atlantic and Pacific railroad is built
considerable distance into the Indian terri
tory, in the direction of Oklahoma, and it
will doubtless be built into it within
very short time. There are other
railroads running through the Indian
territory, but the Atlantic and Pacific i'll
command the greater part of the travel to
the new lands. There is a pretty well
grounded suspicion that this road had
great deal TO do with the agitation which
led to the opening Of Oklahoma. Ia 1865
when the government purchased the lands
from the Indians at 10 cents an acre, con-
gress passed bill giving this road the
right of way through them, aud also a vast
grant of land. The grant was not to be
available, however, until the territory was
opened for settlement. There was a condi-
tion attached to the grant, vi hich was that
if the railroad made any effort to have the
Indian territory opened to settlement it
should lose it, The road was not built in
accordance with the terms of the grant,
and the grant, in all probability. has been
forfeited
Besides those who will be transported by
the railroads to Oklahoma there are thou
sands already in the vicinity of the new
country, and other thousands on their way
there in wagons, 1t is quite safe 10 predict
that Oklaho will contain 100, 900 poopls
before the middle OF the summer.
There will be many disappointed people,
and the railroads will have good deal of
business in carrying them back to the homes
which they left with the hope of better
ing their fortunes. There is not land
enough in Oklahoma for more than 10000
homesteads. A great deal Of the land is
worthless. The larger part of 1t, however,
is as rich as any in the world.
There Is an impression that Oklahoma is
rich in minerals. If it is, the fact would
have been discovered, probably, long before
this. There used to be story that there was
an immense deposit of tin in the Indian terri
tory, but moody ever succeeded in finding
tat least SO far as the public knows.
About all the land will be taken up be-
fore the majority Of the immigrants reach
Oklahoma, and consequently good deal
Of suffering must ensue, because mai )rity
of the disappointed ones will not have
enough money to get back home, and they
will find 1t difficult to get employment.
There mu t necessarily be a great deal Of
lawlessness because Oklahoma has no gov
ernmeat. 1t would not be surprising if the
authorities at Washington should have use
for a good many troops there before the
affairs of the territory are in satisfactory
condition

rstablish the Street Lines.

! The city authorities now have a chance
( to make some street improvements within
the burnt district. In great many streets
Of the city the houses encroach upon the
sidewalks. In fact, in several localities
they occopy nearly the wh.le of the side
walk There are q number Of these en-
croachments within the limits of the area
swept by the fire. They are found on
Whitaker, York aud South Broad streets.
The most noticeable one is on the rthwest
corner of State and Whitaker streets. The
building was partly pulled down Saturday
night, and it would be advisable, probably,
to pull it down altogether. It's removal
would certainly be in the line of improve
meat. The city could afford to pay some
thing to have it taken down and carried
away.
On South Broad street there are good
many of these encroacaments. The build
ings on the corner of Whitaker street
which were burned occupied good share Of
the sidewalk. It is unnecessary to point
out other Instances. The foregoing are suf-
ficient to show that there is chance to
remedy, in limited degree, great NUS
ance. Before permission is granted for the
erection of new building the lines Of the
street should be established. The buildings
should be forced then to conform to them.
The city surveyor should be instructed
at once to establish the correct street lines
so that there would be no delays or misun-
derstanding when rebuilding is begun. The
Whitfield building on Whitaker street was
put back three feet from the true line of
the street. 1t would be of great advantage
to that street if it could be widened three
feet throughout its entire length. That,
however. is hardly practicable. The best
that can be done is to require all new build
ings to conform to the street lines.
There is another matter to which the
council should give its attention. 1t is that
the roofs that were damaged by the sparks
which we're scattered so widely by the fire
should be covered with tin. According to
the reports many of the roofs of old wooden
buildings were burned moro or less, and the
houses were saved only by the extraordi-
nary exertiops of the inmates and their
friends. These roofs are exceedingly in.
flammable, and constant source of dan
ger. The danger would be decreased by
covering them with tin.
The duties of the councilmeu have been
considerably increased by the fire, and it
may be that they have already considered
the things to which their attention is called.
They can make no mistake, however, by
acting promptly with respect to all matters
relating to public improvements.
