respond to two toasts-one to the President,
the other to himself. 1t was In the first
speech that he made use of the phrases
now so familiar. The rising tide Of APP
prevail is noted by the fact that the report
of this speech Is punctuated with no less
than two '.hear-hears," fifteen CHEERS
and one loud cheers" These points of
complimentary interruption are not always
Ineligible. Sometimes cheers" is
thrown in after a most commonplace re-
mark, indicating the growing geniality of
the audience. The last speech Of this me
morable occasion shows conclusively that
the affair was indeed 'post-prandfal In Its
nature. While there were fewer "cheers,"
there was more diversity in the hilarity.
The Interruptions may be thus scheduled:
One Mono" one "hear-hear," two laugh
ters," nine CHEERS" one "renewed-cheers"
and one loud cheers"
But as an evidence that all was not at
tention the following extract from the
Boston Guardian will suffice:
'"The visit aroused some interest, but not
so much as we anticipated. Few Boston

The Aaueduct Bridge.

Secretary Lamonts communication to
the House on the condition of the Aaueduct
bridge, transmitting en- estimate of $4,000
for the repair of that structure, presents
some startling facts. According to Maj.
Davis report, based upon most careful
surveys and detailed examinations, at least
one of the piers supporting the bridge is
in a very defective condition, and indica-
lions are at hand that there was careless
work done at the beginning. This casts
doubt upon the integrity of the bridge as
a whole. although the structure is prob
ably safe enough for all ordinary purposes
of travel to and fro across the river. But
1t is quite unnecessary that this condition
of affairs should prevail, 1t is the duty
Of the government to provide modern,
substantial bridge at this point, a bridge
that will not only accommodate safely all
the people who desire to 60 to Virginia or
come from that state by this route. but
will permit of the construction of a street
railway across it, Under just and proper
regulations and restrictions. Until the
Aquedlct bridge is thoroughly repaired.
permission should not be given for the lay
ing of rails, and this is one of the strong
est arguments for the replacement of the
bridge by better and more satisfactory
around the national capital of such a char
acter that street cars could not run across
it with perfect safety.

For Better Sidewalks.

While Washington has obtained and still
retains the reputation of being the best
paved city In the country it has quite as
widely become known that its sidewalks
are about the poorest in the land, being
often mountainous and damp, usually un-
comfortable and sometimes dangerous.
One critic has said that the National Capt.
tai is city for horses. While an exag-
geration this phrase illustrates the situa-
ton fairly well. The city needs legislation
that will ensure a gradual wedding out
OF the old walks and their replacement by
some form of artificial stone" giving a
fiat, smooth surface easy to the feet and
capable of shedding the water quickly into
the gutter. This process should begin in
the center of the city, and the area of
good sidewalks should spread outward, as
last as the conditions will permit. 1t is
largely matter of education. The prop
erty owners must first be convinced that
their best interests demand a replacement
of the old walks by modern ones, which
will enhance the attractiveness and proba-
bly, the value of the adjacent property.
The Increased advantage is well worth
more than the added cost.
The Commissioners have heretofore been
handicapped in their endeavors to give the
the property owners to go to the added en-
pense of granolithic pavements, and even
In some cases to permit tie most neces-
sary repairs to be made. 1t is now an
nounced that the Commissioners are con-
WINGED that under existing laws they are
authorized to make repairs whenever they
shall consider it to be necessary for the
promotion of public health. safety or COM
fort, and that the opinion of the Health
Officer recommending the work, hitherto
regarded as essential, is merely advisory
and not a necessity. This does not guar
antee that in making repairs the walks
will be laid in better materials than bricks,
and it is more than possible that property
owners who object to repairs being made
or new walks being laid will antagoniza
the authority of the Commissioners under
their recent construction of the existing
law. The better course lies in the enact
ment of a law giving the Commissioners in
specific terms the power that they now
read in the present statutes, and making
some provision that will ensure that in
every case where it is practicable and de-
sirable the modern. smooth. durable and
in the long run economical forms of side
walk shall be used in replacing the fire.
quent hills and wales that now do
service as foot walks. 1t should be
definitely understood that by the term re
pairs is meant something so comprehen-
sive that in the thicl>ly populated part of
the city, at least, it will embrace the sub
stitution Of granolithfc for brick pave
ments. The day of sidewalk patchwork
ought to be closed
