'"rhe flowers that bloom In the spring.
ira la! have nothing TO do with the
case" runs the song, but those that
make fragrant the air of the parlor and
boudolr in the leafless and verdureless
winter season have everything to do
with the case of the well-known ISL
and florist, l.. a. Smith, who has one
of the best appointed greenhouses IN
the city. Mr.. Smith says that the idea
of the poet that full many q flower is
born to blush unseen, and waste us

all right but he doesn't propose to let
his flowers come to any such obscure
end, and for that reason he Will open up

He will display at the above place the
choicest line OF plants, including palms,
rubber plants and ferns, which he Of

the finest cut flowers at cost. The peo-
pie will surely appreciate this unusual
opportunity, especially as the demand
for flowers at this season of the year
frequently exceeds the supply.
Christmas Is approaching and there Is

There is a shortage of coal at the
city gas works. The shortage was first
felt last Saturday.
Monday the situation was very little
better but yesterday Mr., j, %, Boyle
the new coal contractor got in some
fuel, and will continue a supply until
his contract properly takes hold. Mr.
Boyle said.
THE fact Is the city works has been
very short of fuel for several days, Mr.
Floershelm's contract does not expire
until the 18th of this month, but he
has suddenly failed to keep up the sup
ply of coal, and as | was not quite
ready TO commence, the city came very
nearly being put in bad hole. on Sum
day they had to secure coal from local
dealers to keep the retorts going, and
yesterday II was almost as bad, but l
succeeded In getting some fuel here TO-
day, and | win keep the works going
until my contract properly commences,
understand that Mr.. Floersheim has
a strike on hands, he having insisted
on changing his men from the S6e rate

not the cars, for passed his mine to-
day, and saw many of his private cars
on his Nottingham switch, empty. l

full performance of my contract, and II
will be executed to-day, and although
l am not quite ready TO commence the
delivery of coal, will see TO 1t that the

THE GRANT CELEBRATION


The Washington Pest, in common
with good many others, has never
become fully reconciled to the idea
that New York city was the proper
place for the permanent resting place
of the body of Gen. U. S. Grant. 1t
believes that the National Capital
should have been selected instead, and
the long time that has been allowed to
pass before erecting a suitable mem
orial 10 his memory has strengthened
this feeling. But aside from this there
are other reasons, which need not be
mentioned here. The dedication of
the Grant Monument is made the oc-
casion of an editorial in the Washing
ton Post of Sunday from which the
following paragraph is taken.
The Pest has always believed and
insistee that U. S. Grant should have
been buried at Washington. 1t took
this position twelve years ago, and has
never had occasion to doubt the JUS
tice and propriety of its attitude. No
matter what the family thought or
what the family's New York friends be-
lleved, Grants noble ashes, like his
splendid name, were the common
property Of the republic he had savad
from wreck. The whole people claim
ed this by higher and more sacred
right than any individual or single
community could possibly assert. Here
in the nations very heart, the MAIN
spring of the far-reaching pulses which
his strong touch restored to health
here should have been reared the shaft
that was 10 commemorate his fame.
Amidst the national monuments of
which his steadfast courage and in
domltable purpose were the bull
wark, the hero's last long sleep should
have been ordered. Upon the sunniest
slope of Arlington where the fierce
winds Of winter fall with bated vio-
lence and where are found the earliest
verdure and first-born flowers of spring,
they should have made his resting
place. Remote from the city's tur-
MOL and the defilement of its dust and
din, where the sweet sounds of nature
and the pure brea,hs of heaven are,
the great Captains grave should have
been dug. Then the pilgrims to his
tomb could have seen through gracious
rlstas, and across the shining water,
the shlmmering marbles of the Capitol
he rescued, and thick about him
relics OF the most momentous struggle
the world has ever known-his COM
rades and lieutenants would have wait
ed for that final summons which, for
all OF them, must come at last.

STAND BY THE TOWN.

The GOLD LEAF is staunCh advO-
cate of the policy of standing by home
enterprises and patronizing home deal
ers. We have preached from this text
so often that it is difficult TO say any
thing new on the subject. But occa-
slonally we come across an article that
expresses our sentiments so we'll that
we give it place in these columns.
The following from the Orange (Va.)
OG5erUer is an example:
TO stand by your town means more
than to simply build up your own in
divdual business interests and bcautl
fly and improve your residence. 1t
means begin at home first, but not to
be uncompromlsingly wrapped up in
yourselfregardless of your fellow-man
and all the surrounding circumstances.
1t means TO 60 to work and stimulate
every legitimate enterprise by giving
all the friendly encouragement you
can, or by uniting your industry, in
fuence and capital in the common
cause. Cultivate a public spirit and
help your neighbor, either by kind
words or hel ping hand.
Every industry in the place, it makes
no difference how small, should be
given careful consideration. As far as
possible give these industries your pat
ronage instead of sending off your or
ders. If you have quarrel on hand
have manhood enough to fight it on
its merits and don't bring it into
waterworks, streets, churches, schools
or anything that tends toward building
up and keeping pace with the times.
Speak we'll of new and observable
prospects and everything that pertains
to the welfare of your town. Proclaim
all that is worthy and quietly endeav-
or to remedy the evils. Quit abusing
your neighbor and get yourself straight.
Encourage every one, especially
new men, to come in. and settle anon.
you, particularly those who are worthy
and active, whether they have capital
or not. Their labor is worth money.
Those who have the capital should
buy lots, build houses or tear down
and remodel old ones. In fact do all
you can 10 advance the general inter
est, for as effect follows cause, SO Ger
tain will every enterprise Of merit repay
every citizen. We cannot live unto
ourselves, nor discourage any move
ment in behalf of the place without
inficting upon ourselves personal in
jury.
