Now let's ell got down 10 business
and make the year 1891 the most
remarkable year In the history Of
the city As the one In which the most
progress was made In attaining 10
the proportions Of . great commsr-
ciAl city. In order 10 do this sue
csssfully, there are many things We
should resolve 10 do and not 30 do,
and among the foFmsr may Be mem
toned the following:
We should make more improve
ments on our streets. Now that our
"uncls John" has been promoted
Il will be hard work 10 all his place.
His successor should be . man Of
equal ability, who should, moreover,
be backed by an aggressive street
and alley committee In the city coun-
ell.
We should establish Q market
place and relieve east Iron avenue,
Fifth and Seventh streets from do
ing over duty - thOroughfares and
market places, auction stands, and
what not.
We should lynch the man who 10
too lazy or too StinEy TO clean the
snow OF his side walks.
We should insist on the railroads.
keeping their yards well lighted ut
their own expense:
We should suppress the joints that
are alleged TO exist In our city.
We should send Q few Of our most
promising young toughs TO the re-
form school, for the good Of society.
We should have an ordinance with
Q heavy fins and imprisonment at
tachsd to operate against the nends
who sIng Annie Rooney and like
songs IN Q high key and loud voice
while roaming the streets ct an hour
when decent people are trying 70
sleep.
Cooler suasion should be substi-
tutSd for moral suAsIOn In the mar
shal's Office In dealing with some
aggravated cases Of youthful cusssd-
ness.
We should devote less time 10 pol
tiles and more 10 business.
We should devote less time TO
bsckbiting and more TO loving our
nslghbors - ourselves.
We should secure the location Of
manufactures here before the close
Of the year, and this can be done II
the right kind Of effort 10 made.
Ditto Wholesale houses.
Ditto railroads.
Ditto everything desirable.
We should be vIrtuous and We will
be hapPy-but some Of Ne may think
We will not have much fun.
There are also many things we
should not do and among them Il
may be stated that
We should not discourage anybody
who IL doing any thing for the good
Of the city.
We should not forget that seventy
ave persons get their daily bread out
Of the Newspaper business In this
city when the tramp advertising IA
kir comes around. And that just In
the measure that these sevsuty-five
persons are prosperous and have
money 10 spend, Just In that measure
will those men who patronIEs these
fakes TO the exclusion Of Legitimate
newspaper enterprises at home, be
bensflttsd thereby.
We should not fail to patroniEs
home industries Of all kinds.
We should not wear . pair Of socks
more than four weeks without maxi
Ing . change II We expect 10 move In
polite society or be able TO defy the
sanitary oficials.
We should not proclaim that mar
riage IL . failure because We ourselves
are failures In praeticlng it.
We should not get up and leave the
room when In hls sermon the man
In the pulpit says something which
comes hsme 10 us In . forclble and
peculiarly direct manner. It In very
dIsresPectful TO the minister and
congregation, besides being . direct |
confession Of guilt.
We should not poke fun at the
sockless feet Of Jerry Simpson.
We should not complain about the
weather.
We should not be bluffsd BY Q rail-
road company that many times gets
$1,000 out Of single days In-frsIght
when Il threatens to remove its de-
pot, terminal, stock yards, etc., just
outside the city limits, II certain
things In the matter Of maintaining
an arc electric lamp on their prem
10 insisted upon, as vas the ease with
the Rock Island.
We should not wear glasses Just
for the LOOKS Of the thing, nor walk
lame for the same reason.
We should not permit Daddy" ct
the city hail, TO shave OF his whis-
kers again next summer.
We should concern ourselves less
about missionary work In the sou-
dan until the first ward Of this city
has o better show.
We should not picket our cows out
In the streets.
We should not give SOLE trsmplng
snide the privilege Of swindling us
next Fourth Of July, II We have eel
ebration.
There are many things We ought
not 10 do that We have not the space
to mention here, but which COM
mon sense will teach NJ 10 abstain
from doing.
