What seems to be really needed for the
purpose of securing good sidewalks in
this city is not so much an ordinance fix
ing positively what sort of material shall
be used as one fixing positively the fact
that the sidewalks shall be kept in good
order. Ii Is claimed that Alderman Krous-
koff's ordinance providing for the use of
artificial stone in a certain area is so
worded that il is not only hard matter
to enforce it, but hard to comply with it.
An ordinance which compelled property
owners to put their sidewalks into such
condition as TO be acceptable TO the Com
missioner of Public Works. 'or the city
marshal, or other official in authority
would probably have the effect of elimin-
ating poor material and doing away with
broken sidewalks; provided that law were
backed up by provision for having needed
work of the kind done by the commits
sioner or the marshal at the expense of
the property owner, if the property owner
failed to attend to il within a stated time
after notification. One reason why the
sidewalks are not now in better condi-
are tied up with so much red tape that
il is almost impossible to enforce them.
More simplicity is needed. More direct
ness should be practiced. If there were
an official made responsible for the condi-
ton of the sidewalks, and given the power
10 enforce construction or repairs, there
Is every reason to think the matter
would be attended to.
While on the subject of sidewalks, there
is no better time 20 ask why, in paving,
discrimination is shown is favor of horses
and vehicles and against pedes TRANS? Are
not men and women and children as much
entitled 10 a good surface under foot as
horses? We provide asphalt for horses.
and make human beings walk upon I'M
even bricks, or flags, or gravel. Is there
any good reason why we should not have
sidewalks as well as roadways of asphalt?
The horses are 10 be provided with a
mile or so OF asphalt on Drayton street.
Human beings, however, must continue
to get along with poor paving or no
from CASTOR southwark. 1t may not be
practicable to provide Tor the paving OF
the Park Extension sidewalks this year,
but they should be taken care of in the
next budget.
And there is still another paving matter
| deserving attention; Immediate attention,
in this case. 1t is the paving of the
space between the car tracks on asphalted
streets. 1t is understood TO be the pres
ent purpose of those doing the work TO
repave the spaces with the old belgian
blocks, except at one or two crossings. This
should not be permitted. Nothing but as
phalt should be allowed on asphalt streets.
The city has granted enough TO the street
railway people 10 warrant the expecta-
tion of some consideration in return. The
asphalting plants are now in the city, and
the work could be done, in all probability
al a very reasonable cost. The value of the
stone blocks taken out would no doubt

Trouble for one.

The business man was very much occu-
pied when one Of his acquaintance came

but the other. without looking up. waved
one hand back Of him, and reduced the
friend to silence. After waiting half q
minute the visitor tried again.
Il won't take much Of your time" he
said. This is something too important
to be neglected. or I'd go away and come
again"
4 suppose there's no use of my trying

The calculator rang for the Office boy
and when he appeared, said: Thomas,
you take this 81 bill and buy me as many
works on arithmetic as you can for it,"
Then, turning 10 his friend with the air of
a s-questioner he said:
Why do men engage in business?''
ITO make money"
And what do you want with money?
We want independence and respect We
want 10 feel that we can hold up our
heads in the world, and not be Obliged TO

it may be, are the same. I have a boy

The caller answered in the negative.
Then you don't know how much you

place than it is 20 remember it again,

Four of a Kind Enough.

The young man with the swell suit and
gold-headed cane was trying to firt with
a girl opposite, says the Detroit Free
Press, when the old man on his left nudg.
ed him with his elbow and hoarsely whis,
pered:
Young man, pause and reflectw
Are you speaking to me, sir?" demand
ed the young man. =
Yes, sir, to you; but I've got such a
hard cold that 1 cannot say much LIE,
me repeat that you should pause and re-
fleet
What for?"
You are trying to hirt with that young
girl. sir9'
And is that any of your business?'
1T is, sir. Excuse my hoarseness. I
kicked the bedclothes off the other night
and got cold. 1 want to say to you, sir,
that it is my business, sir! Suppose you
succeed in attractin' that gals attention."
We'll, what of it?'
She might be flattered and fiirt back.
though I don't think she's very fiirtatious.
Il might lead to a case of love and love to
marriage"
You'd better attend to your own bust
ness sir!' replied the young man.
That's what I'm a-doin', sirl 'Scuse

That Annexation Treaty.
From the Baltimore sun (Dem.).

Hawaiian annexation seems to drag in
the Senate. 1t does not gothrough with a
rush. as its friends predicted. The treaty
fails it appears. to get the expected and
necessary majority for its ratification, so
that if we are 10 have annexation joint
resolution win have to be passed through
both branches of Congress. That means
open discussion. Open discussion
Is what the opponents of
annexation most desire, since they believe
that discussion will expose the job at the
bottom of the enterprise. If we annex Ha-
wall we shall have TO spend millions on it,
whereas. II we leave il as it is, our pro-
tectorate Will continue to be recognized by
all the world and will cost us nothing. If
we want coaling station and key we
have those things already by treaty. Bet
ter let well enough alone.

The insurgents are hidden away In the

Blot on McIHinIey's Record.
From the New York Post Qnd)

1t is a great misfortune that man who
has shown qualities worthy of the execu-
tive of a great nation should have blotted
the record of his administration by such
disgraceful appointments as those of De-
mas for naval officer at New Orleans; Say
lor. the swindling member of the Pennsyl-
Vanla Senate, for consul at Matanzas, Gu
ba Goodnow, the Minnesota politician of
dlsreputatble private life, for consul at
Shanghai, China and others, made, like
these, after full exposure of the mems
shameful records, for no other reason than
to pay personal obligations at the cost of
the national honor.

The need Of an auditorium in Savannah
is admitted by all classes of citizens
teachers. preachers. professional men.
moneyed men, military men and laymen.
Then why not take steps to provide one?
Surely the people Of The little city of Al
bany are not more public spirited and pro-
gresslve than those of the greatest sea-
port on the South Atlantic seaboard. Yet
Albany is building an auditorium which
would be a credit 10 a city having ten
times her population. while we are merely
talking about what a good thing it would
be to have such building.

Our English neighbors are in a position
to heap Goals of fire upon our heads in the
event of hostilities between this country
and Spain. Many Of our so-calIed states
men never lose an opportunity to vilnfy
England and foment animosity against
that country: nevertheless if we were to
get into trouble there are many reasons
for thinking that the British government
would give us moral if not material sup
port. Really there Should be a close al
lance between these great governments,
whose people are bound together by ties of
blood and language and commerce.

Misunderstanding and Wages.

that 80 per cent. of wages is spent just
where it is paid out. we begin to see what

in all walks of life are losing by not en-
couraging manufacturing.

engaged in it are entitled to the proteo-
