IMPROVEMENT OF MAIN STREET.

1t seems to us that steps should
be taken looking toward the improve.
ment of Main street from Madison
to Cherry. 1t is well known by
every one who lives on this street.
as we'll rs others who walk over it.
that the sidewalks from one end of
it to the other are in n horrible CON
dition. The roots of the trees along
the cutters have raised the sidewalks
in a number of places a half foot,
and all along the entire street they
are Uneven and in a miserable con
dition. 1t would be useless to be
gin repairing by patching. There
ought to be n system of improve.
ment including the entire length of
the street. The width of the side.
walks ought to be increased and the
streets somewhat narrowed. The
improvement required ought to be
Rranitoid walks from one end to the
other, leaving on each side a plot of
ground sodded with bluegrass of
about three feet. Then the street
ought to be graded at a few points
and graveled from one end to the
other. This whole work could be
done at a very moderate expense,
and would give Jefferson City a
beautiful residence thoroughfare.
The present appearance of this street
ID ragged and d~esolate, and wa be
lieve that if the proper plans were
made and estimates furnished to tho
council, showing that the cost of the
work would be reasonable, the
property owners would not protest
snd would be willing to stand the
expense. We believe that the pres
snt objection to improvement on this
street is principally because after the
work is done there will be no appa
rent improvement. The sidewalks
are in as bad q condition Us the
streets, il not worse, This is q mat.
ter well worthy Of attention from the
engineer and the city council.

Senator Sherman, in his address to
the senate the other day, told the
Democrats that they were ''solcly re
sponsible" for the condition of the
senate. He warned them as follows:
"You must decide this silver question
one way or the other If you can,
not do it and retire from the senate
chamber, we, on this side Of the
house, will settle it and we will do
the best we can with our silver friends,

A big celebration took place at
Mt, Olive, ILL.,, on last Wednesday,
the occasion being the celebration OF
the first settlement of that section of
the country by Germans. Mr.. George
Wagner of this city was invited to
address the meeting by the societies
and accepted the invitation. The
attendance was about 5000. MIR.
Wagner is well known in Jefferson
City, being q highly educated gentle.
man. When a young man he was
studying for the priest hood, but
owing to poor eyesight he was forced
to give it up. He is known as n
sound thinker and a good speaker
in the German language.
The following is a synopsis Of
Mr., Wagner's address:
I'VE want to be good American
citizens, aud are such, too; yet on
this account we are not obliged to
forget our mother country. America
is orr bride and Germany our
mother, Ho would be a cruel man
and "A person without character who
would treat his mothor with neglect;
or is it unnatural for u person to
recall the days of his youth in his
native land? Is it not this very re
collection-that of our youth-the
greatest Of all earthly pleasures?
O., that those years would never flee
Those years of happy infancy,
says Schiller.
"The American, too, loves gather
ings of all kinds, such, for instance.
AS %barbecues, and is glad to meet
his Did friends again. He welcomes
all law. biding citizens to his land,
regardless of nationality, and his
hospitality is bouudless. He is ever
willing to lend Il helping hand to Il
neighbor in need. or to IA helpless
stranger. And who has not heard
of the noble qualities of the Ameri-
| can ladies? No other nation OH the
globe does ns much as tic American
in the way Of helping the poor. and
it is the IA lies, principally, that de-
serve the credit in this direction.
United rs one, regardless of
nationality, religion or politics, all
the citizens of this country took up
arms when in laundering tones it
sounded throughout the lard to save
a nations honor. No envy or NAL
ice did they know, those patriots.
They were as n heart and one soul
for fOnr years, and many for even a
longer time,
And why should not such u
unity exist forever? Must it al.
ways be a time Of need or n war that
unitcs people: Politics and religion
are a matter Of conscience and should
not interfere in mems daily inter
course with one another. We, all
and all of us wish to enter the same
heaven, only the manner of reaching
it is a different one. Peace be
with you was ever the greeting of
the God man.
Whate'er you owe. pay,
And believe what you may.

Shops in France Not Allowed to Crowd
Each Other.
In France two shops selling the
same thing are not allowed to exist
within certain area. In provisions
this absence of competition materially
increases the price, but, says woman
who has large experience in house
keeping in France, your taxes are less,
and you have in return clean streets,
good gas, constant water supply and
perfect sewerage. 1t addition, by vir-
tue of state supervision, you never re-
ceive short weight or inferior goods.
There is no quantity so small that the
grocer will not sell it. Andsin doing
this and in delivering it he is as
scrupulously polite and careful as
in buying larger amounts The
butcher is the cooks friend and will
trim the meat and take out the bones
with loving care. Meat is dear Good
beefsteak costs from thirty-seven cents
to fifty cents a pound. Fish is very
expensive, but poultry is reasonabl
and good and butter and eggs good
and comparatively cheap. A good deal
of cooking in small households is done
with gas, and gas stoves are loaned by
the gas companies for this purpose.
Sugar, matches and all imported ar
ticles are dear, owing to the high tar
iff. The lowest price for servants is
$40 month. Charwomen ask six
cents by the hour. Englishwomen say
that life on the continent is much
more agreeable for Americans than
for themselves, owing to the fact that
in each consular town the consul and
his family make nucleus for colony
which soon gathers about them.
