AN IMPROVEMENT WHICH WILL BE
A BLESSING.

We have II, upon entirely reliable au-
thority. that the owners of the electric
street railway desire to extend their track
UP Main street across the boulevard to
Foushee or Sheppard street, thence south
west by Snellings' Park and the flower
the New reservoir. and along near the
lake to the present return track. If this
is done 1t will enable parties to leave
the electric cars at any point in this cir
cult either at Snellings'. at the flower
garden. in the beautiful woods to the
southeast OF the reservoir. or on the
edge of the lake. To be able TO do this
would be a boon OF incalculable value to
the poor people Of the city, and to their
young children. The poor are unable to
go out of the city during the hot weather
and they. but particularly their little
ones. suffer for want of pure air and
cooling breezes, both of which could be
obtained IL the electric cars made this
circuit regularly and at brief intervals.
In order to make this circuit the rail-
way owners understand that they must
obtain the permission of the city authori-
ties to cross the boulevard and to pass
southeast OF the reservoir through the
citys property. We suppose, of course
that the city's consent will be
promptly given when 1t is asked.
though there Is no necessity OF
asking it, so far as crossing the boule-
ward is concerned. as the county court
can authorize that and If the county
court should authorize that, there could
be no possible objections to permission
being given for the cars TO pass through
the city's property TO the southeast Of
the reservoir.
The only objection TO this proposition
that we can imagine is that Il will make
the electric cars cross the favorite drive
Of the city. We do not think there is
much in this objection. The railway
track could be required to cross the bou-
levard at grade, and its rails would not.
in this case. interfere with the wheels
OF vehicles. The cars would undoubtedly
he an obstacle to rapid driving on the
boulevard, but for this the public would
be thankful, as the boulevard is not in
tended TO be a race course
We earnestly hope that this circuit
will be established at once, that the little
ones and the poor may have a health
giving resort close and cheaply at hand.

THE NAVAL RENDEZPOUS'

drawn between Fortress Monroe ana the

has arranged a most elaborate pro-
gramme for the combined fleets, OF whieh
some few have arrived. and others are
coming in daily.
Privileges have been granted by the
Secretary of War and the commandant OF
Fort Monroe to allow the use OF this
beautiful Government property. TO be
used in any manner that will promote The
interest Of this great undertaking.
From what can be gathered II is
thought Though II is not OFFICIALLY that
certain hours OF the day will be allotted
TO all who desire TO go aboard the various
ships, which will be one Of the most
pleasing features of the rendezvous. At
night the interchange OF signals between
the vessels will be performed by means Of
various -colored electric lights, and it is
proposed to establish a uniform system
Of signals for all nations while this OPP
portunity offers itself. as every nation
will be represented by one or two gallant
men-of-war.
In the last week a great many new
features have been added 10 the display

THE CONTRACT SYSTEM AGAIN.
The Street Committee Meet Again, but
Defer Action.

A meeting OF the Committee on Streets
vas called at the City Engineers Office
last evening. This was done at the sug-
sestion OF Colonel Cutshaw. who was de-
sli Gus to have the committee determine
" hat steps should be taken I'm regard
to the excavatirg for the Nicholson street
sewers.
AS matters stand now, Mr.. Maynard
has received the contract for the brick
work. Several weeks ago the committee
adopted a resolution providing that the
oxcavatihg should be done by contract
AT the last meeting. however a general
resolution 70 the effect that the excayat-
ing for the Nicholson street sewers, as
we'll as for the First street sewers, be
done by contract, was lost by lie vote,
which left the work TO the sewer force
Of the department.
The following members were present
at the opening Of the meeting last even
ing: Sub-Chairman Turpin and Messrs.
Thomas and Royal White,
In view OF the fact that the attendance
was small, and that the committee VAS
about evenly divided on the question at
issue. Mr.. stratton moved that the COM
mittee adjoura and postpone the discuss
sion or the matter until the monthly

The great man be "A vulgar clown;

That's common life, and who does not

at the ways Of Providence. From Job and
David and Solomon and jeremiah. every
man who stops TO think has been asking
the same thing, How is IT that fools and
knaves have such good time. and what
profit is there in righteousness? Nothing

The Gospel is the very deepest Of TRACE

reason FOR this lies IN defects and faults
Of human nature.
Under Mr. Blairs theory. how wouio
he get along with a case In which a man
contracted to deliver 100 tons OF coal ana
then neglected or refused to make the
delivery? He is sued. but cannot be re-
quired to produce the coal, because ne
has not got It. For what will judgment
be given? The judgment must be for the
value of the coal. and that value must
be determined by reference to something
that is itself as fixed and immutable as
the yard-stick, which cannot be of any
thing except that which is ascertained
and determined by the law. II 1t is that
the defendant shall pay five hundred dol
lars OF the issue of the Chemical Bank,
the Chemical Bank may in the meantime
have reduced its dollars one-half In value.
whereby an infinite injustice would be
done.
The substances of the matter then is,
that while Mr.. Biair's proposition might
work smoothly in all cases where all
parties were willing and able to carry
OFT their agreements in good faith. II
would wholly fail TO provide for those
innumerable cases in life where one side,
or both. Is or are unable or unwilling TO
perform his or their whole duty, or TO
that other Infinite class of cases where
parties honestly differ about their obli-
cations and rights. In all these cases,
the Governments nat must intervene 10
adjust the differences between parties.
This makes Government coin which is
legal tender for debt an absolute neces-
sity to society as organized. Parties
must have some medium In which they
can tender performance of a duty and
thereafter be discharged from 1t. And,
lation to money, which is that II Is only
to assay and stamp metal. what advan-
tage would Mr.. Blair's "coin of agree
ment" have over the Governments coin?
Universal consent would. 1t is true, salts
fy all men that the ''coln Of agreement"
contained the quantity of metal that 1t
professed on It's face TO contain. and that
is all that agreement" could do for a
particular piece of metal. But If the
Governments stamp satisfies all men Of
the same thing, why not have the Govern
ment's stamp? " here is the advantage?

PUT THE ELECTRICT CARS or FIRST
STREET.

There seems TO be but little reason why
the Council should hesitate to grant to
the Electric Railway Company the privi-
lege to connect their proposed Barton
Heights line with the main line at First
and Clay streets. There is, it Is true,
some opposition by the property holders
on First street, but this is clearly one
of the cases where the objections Of the
few must give way to the demands OF
the many. The railroad would certainly
not depreciate the value OF the pro-
perty, but would be sure to cause 1t to
advance. Main street west OF Second has
suffered none as residential street by
the introduction OF electric cars. why
should the cars effect First street ad-
versely?
First street is certainly the natural
avenue Of the cars from the riaduct
and any other would be hardship. not
only on the railroad company. but on the
residents OF one Of our proudest suburbs
and on all the patrons Of the line.
It should be our policy to give every
encouragement TO our suburbs, but II we

and that it is sanctioned by public opin-
DIN. Then why hesitate? Grant the priv
iege, and let's have the cars to Barton
