Curtain.
Paving done with good intentions
Will not do for Seventh street;
Gentlemen. we kindly ask you
Firmness for our fat'ring feet.
Asphalt real, asphalts earnest,
And the wood yards its goal,
Never mind the street car people.
Let the job and let it whole.

Men may 60 and men may come. but
seldom will you find political party
ready and anxious to do honor to mod
est and deserving man. TASK for what
you want" is the cry of the party man
ayers. The Republican party IN this
town, however. is about to do one OF
those tardy acts of justice which so en-
dear 1t to its constituents, and that is
honors onthe head of one of natures
noblemen, Nels j. Ness.
Mr.. Ness in common with many other
OF this nations great men attained his
majority at the age of twenty-Une years,
and has been of age ever since.
In the thick of every political battle
in that district so long and favorably
known as ''the bloody Sixth" has been
found Mr.. Ness, the patriot, the States
man and the orator. At ward meetings
pouring the barbs and arrows of his
matches eloquence out upon the Silly
air. he has ever stood for all that is pure
and holy in politics and legislation. 1t
was the influence Of this stern and un-
compromising nature of his that OBJ
tanned for his party the Endorsement of
that oath-bound secret organization
which was so prominent in last springs
campaign, and which absolutely controls
thirteen votes in this city. From the
rock-bound cliffs of the West side to
the f1ower-bedecked banks of Como,
from Chris Dormden's OH the west to
William Hamm's on the east there is q
grand swelling chorus of public opin-
ion; let the Republican party put its
ear to the ground, and it will catch
above the rumble of the street cars the
slogan of the fall campaign, "For the
Legislature the candidate of the people,
the great, the good, the wise Nels j,
Ness"
They are telling another bad story at
the expense of "Old Hoss" Hoey.
Every one who knows Hoey knows how
difficult he finds it to commit his lines
to memory. He has been studying a
new song for about two weeks. and the
other day he went into Sixth street
buffet and remarked to friend: q
.Confound it. Pm tired studying that
thing. Pve read it over more than a
thousand times. and haven't been able
to get it into my head yet"
why don't you sit on it while, ="
kindly suggested the friend.

He was just trif1e nervous in the
feet. and his form swayed slightly as he
| issued from the side door and started
down Cellar street. He came to full
stop as the ragged man faced him with
this timid appeal:
Say, mister, won't you please give
me 10 cents fer bed?"
"Why, certainly" answered the tipsv
citizen as he tished dime from his vest
pocket; that's cheap: but where's the
bed?'
Over in the Sixth ward they are tell
ing a story of an Italian who was talk
ing politics with some earnest citizen a
| day or two before the spring election.
The Italian ventured the remark that
| he was going to vote for MIR. Blank.
The American said. mo. don't vote for
him; he's blamed fool" to which our
Italian friend responded as follows:
"Well. l vota da twotree tam for gooda
man, and fan wen he geta da offs
he bna da blame fool; so guess l vota
| for blame fool an may be he a
| change to gooda man wen e geta da
| offis?''

Before the campaign proceeds any
| further, it is important that Conrad
Miller should advise his friends as to
whether he has made arrangements for
a nominating speech in the convention.
Conrad overlooked this little detail in
| his last effort.
No, Constant Reader. Hon. Samuel
Lowenstein will not run for the legis-
lature. He weighs nearly 800, and, be.
sides, he's not built that way.

| Late last night delegation of lead
ing citizens, regardless of party, de
cided to wait upon MIR. Breslauer, the
tailor and statesman, and proffer him a
nomination for the state senate. Up to
the hour of going to press the commit.
tee had not returned from their inter.
view, and it is highly probable that MIR.
Breslauer seized the opportunity thus
presented to unburden himself OF few
remarks upon the various subjects
which have for years been a special
study with him. His views upon the
tariff, the income tax, the silver cues
ton, temperance. woman suffrage, re-
ligion. the drama. where the flies 60 In
winter, and kindred subjects of timely
interest, are so we'll known that it is
neither necessary nor possible for US to
reproduce them here.

Those good and earnest citizens who
clamor for cheap gas will get all they
want between now and the first Tues
