No, thank you," she said as her father
offered her some buckwheat cakes, Il quite

knife and fork down.
Yes

"Humph." and he resumed operations

The District Commissioners promise to
submit to Congress soon a bill embodying
their views upon the important subject Of
extending the citys streets outside the old
city limits. Their annual report gives a
narrative of what has been done under the
recent acts relating to that subject. but the
most that has been accomplished so far has
been merely on paper, as Congress has not
yet provided the means for the actual work
OF street extension on any large scale. The
interests of the city generally. and the in
terests of the property owners in the re-
gions to be traversed by the extended high
ways. call for some definite settlement of
the matter. The Commissioners recognize
this. and urge the advantages to all that
would result from having funds available
at an early date to prosecute the work

last fiscal year the cost of seeds purchased
by the Agricultural Department was $685.
54s.61, and that the remainder Of an appro-
priation of s135.0OO was expended in putting
them up and distributing them. Upon these
facts he bases highly creditable argument
adverse to the hungry agricultural element
that would rather have free seeds than free
silver The free trade platform on which
Mr.. Cleveland attained the presidency for
a second term is disregarded to a very con-
siderable extent. and there are remarks in
the message to which no protectionist could
seriously take exception, but when the
President declares that the purchase and
scattering abroad Of agricultural and hor-
ticultural germs should at once cease he
leaves no room for doubt as to his policy on
that supremely important matter.
A trfhing concern like that Of taxing in
comes received from certain sources is
briefly and lightly touched upon, even
though 1t may work great injustice and en-
courage perjury. but there is not a quaver
In the voice that cries loudly for reform in
the distribution of incipient vegetables. The
administrations effort to overturn good gov
eminent in Hawaii-a more than remark
able proceeding-receives bare recognition,
but the millions who whoop day and night
be gratified at the Presidents conversion to
their views. Few people had, until the mes
sage was given out, an idea that during
the last fiscal year there was given away
enough of cabbage seed to plant 49, 10 acres
OF land; a sufficient quantity OF beans to
plant 1000 acres; beet seed enough to plant
2,JoO acres; sweet corn enough for 1880
acres; sufficient cucumber seed to cover
2.O2o acres with vines and enough musk
melon and watermelon seeds to plant 1878
acres. The total quantity of flower and
vegetable seeds thus distributed was con-
tained in more than nine million packages
and they were sufficient If planted, to cover
s9,596 acres of land. Such. however. is the
awful fact. Bitter partisans may insist
that the President is weak. or wrong, as to
the tariff and the raising OF revenue, faulty
in the matter of finance, careless as to pen
sions and criminal as to Hawaii but no
sane being can accuse the chief executive
OF temporizing with the nation in the mat
ter of cabbage seed. On that subject he Is
unquestionably right.
