PUT THEM UNDER THE STREET.

day or two ago we called the at
tention of the city authorities to the
Importance of requiring all wires on
West Broad street, except the trolley
wire, to be placed underground. This
improvement can be made now at less
expense than at some future time. The
street is to be paved, and the tele-
graph, telephone and electric light poles
are being taken down in order to give
them the new position required by the
lines of the sidewalks that are to be
put down. OF course it would be more
expensive to put the wires under
ground, but the cost would not be so
very much more if the different com
panies should join in building a sub
way for the wires.
No doubt the city will require all
wires within the city limits to be put
under ground before many years. The
work can be done on West Broad
street now to better advantage than
at some future time when the pave
ment would have to be taken up in or
der to do it. The pavement will not be
laid for two months. There is therefore
plenty of time to put the wires under
ground before the paving work is be-
gun.
And there is no reason why the street
railway company should not be re.
quired to put up neat iron poles to
carry its trolley wire in place of the
wooden ones which now mar the
street. The iron poles should be placed
near the track instead of on the sides
of the street. With the foregoing i'm
provement the street would present a
very attractive appearance as soon as
the brick pavement was laid. And
there are indications that it is going to
be one of the busiest streets in the
city. At least half of the buildings
between Bay and Gwinnett streets art.
now occupied as stores, and as the
street is improved other buildings will
be turned into places of business. Most
of the old and small buildings that
now line the street will disappear. In
fact, the land they occupy will become
too valuable for such structures. If the
city will do it's part in the matter OF
the wires very much better class of
new buildings win be erected than if
the unsightly poles are permitted to
remain. Now is the time for the city
authorities to act, and they should act
promptly and with determination
that would brush aside all objections.

why should the Spirit of Mortal BE
Proud.


Why should the Spirit of Mortal BE
Proud.
oh, why should the spirit of mortal be
proud?
Like a swift-fieeting meteor, a fast.
flying cloud,
A flash of the lightning, a break of the
wave,
Man passes from life to his rest in the
grave.
The leaves of the oak and the willow
shall fade,
Be scattered around, and together be
laid;
And the young and the old, and the
low and the high,
Shall moulder to dust, and together
shall lie.
The infant the mother attended and
loved,
The mother that infants affection who
proved
The husband that mother and infant
who blest
Each, all, are away to their dwelling
of rest.
The hand of the king that the scento,
hath borne,
The brow of the priest that the miter
hath worn,
The eye of the sage, and the heart of
the brave,
Are hidden and lost in the depths OF
the grave.
The maid on whose cheek, on whose
brow, in whose eye,
Shone beauty and pleasure-her tri-
umphs are by;
And the memory of those that beloved
her and praised
Are alike from the minds of the living
erased.
The saint who enjoyed the communion
of heaven,
The sinner who dared to remain I'M
forgiven,
The wise and the foolish, the guilty
and just,
Have quietly mingled their bones in
the dust.
So the multitude goes, like the flower
and the weed
That wither away to let Others suc-
coed:
So the multitude comes. even those we
behold.
To repeat every tale that hath often
been told.
For we are the same that our fathers
have been;
We see the same sights that our IA
ers have seen;
We drink the same stream, we feel the
same sun,
We run the same course that our IA
theirs have run.
The thoughts we are thinking our IA
theirs would think;
From the death we are shrinking our
fathers would shrink:
To the life we are clinging they also
would cling;
But it speeds from the earth like n
bird on the wing.
Yea! hope and dependency, pleasure
and pain,
Are mingled together like sunshine and
rain.
And the smile and the tear the song
and the dirge
Still follow each other, like surge upon
surge.
'Tis the twink OF an eye, tits the
draught OF the breath,
From the blossom OF health to tbe
paleness Of death.
From the gilded saloon to the bier and
the shroud.
Oh, why should the spirit OF mortal he

big Chief Devery of the New York
police department finds there is truth
in the proverb that troubles do not
come singly. Not only has he beer
snubbed by Mr.. Croker, defied by pc.
hcemen under his authority and ar
rested on charges of tyranny and OPP
preston, but a numerousiy signed pc.
tition from the Merchants Associa-
ton has been sent to Commissioner
Murphy asking for his removal from
Office. So much opposition to Devery
has been aroused that it is regarded
as practically certain that he will have
to get out of the Office.

1t is apparently incumbent upon
President Shaffer of the Amalgamated
Association to meet the challenge of
Messrs. Gompers and Mitchell with an
offer similar to theirs. They say that
if he will prove his charge against
them they will resign from the presi-
dency of the Federation of Labor and
the United Mine Workers respectively
If he fails to prove what he has said
he ought to resign from the presidency
of the Amalgamated Association.

The Howard Association OF Criminal
Experts, an English organization, the
speciality of which is the study of
criminology and prisons. has reached
the conclusion that the prisons in the
United States are the worst in the
world. And conditions will not be bet
ter, according to the associations view,
until the enforced idleness of the pris-
oners is done away with and they are
properly classified. classification is
insisted upon because where there is
lack of it the young convicts are
thrown into association with those who
are hardened in crime, with naturally
and inevitably bad results.

There appears to be tacit agree

likes notorietY.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Commenting on the decorous trial
and speedy conviction of Czolgosz. the
New York Times Dem.) says: How
much better this is, this solemn, pas
sionless administration of Justice ac-
cording to law than if the maddened
crowd whom he had insulted and out
ragged had fallen upon him, as so many
of them were tempted to do, and kicked
the worthless and mischievous life out
of him! How much more impressive.
What Indictment can there be for
lover of notoriety to commit even the
most conspicuous of crimes in the pic
ture of this wretch covering under
the looks of loathing and disgust that
fell upon him in the court room whence
and whittier he had to be conducted
under strong guard, and with the con-
sciousness that he will not be praised
or pitied, or even secretly celebrated
by any but the haters and enemies of
mankind! The revenge of society upon
him is as seemly as his attack upon So
ciety was bestial."
The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
(Dem) says: The Nashville pulpiteer
who found cause to rejoice over Nc
Kinley's assassination because the
President leaned towards the Catho-
lies has a curious idea of propriety as
well as of piety. No doubt he would
have the President walk up to Cardinal
Gibbons every day and swat him on
the jaw Fortunately this unfortunate
man represents no one in Tennessee
The Norfolk (Va.) Landmark Dem)
says: Senator Thomas c. Platt's re-
flections must be gloomy. By kicking
Col. Roosevelt up stairs at the last
National Republican convention, the
Senator not only opened the way for a
far more 'unmanageable' Governor OF
New York than Roosevelt was, but put
Roosevelt himself into the presidency
Of the United States"
The Cincinnati Enquirer Dem)
says: president Roosevelt has declar-
ed that he intends to be President in
deed, and that he does not care a snap
fof sectional lines. This might be con-
stucd as one of the signs that Mr..
Roosevelt is not going 10 run his part
OF the government merely as an admin
istrator."

During the past few days there has
been some persistent hammering OF
copper securities in the New York
and Boston markets. A story told in
New York is to the effect that Thorn
as w. Lawson was the power behind
the scenes in the manipulation of the
market. and that ne netted more than
s250'0OO profits on the fluctuations. An
interesting phase of the rumor is that
the losers were principally members OF
the New York Yacht Club. and that
their losses went into the pocket of the
aforesaid Lawson. The story is thai
Lawson took this little fall out OF
the Yacht club people by way of get
ting square for their treatment of him
in the Independence matter.

The failure Of the yachts to get over
the course yesterday within the time
limit was a disappointment, not only
to those at the course, but to people
throughout the country who followed
the race by means OF bulletins. There
is widespread interest in the event,
and the general desire was that there
should be a hotly fought contest yes
terday. And for a time it looked as II
there would be. But the unreliable
winds of Sandy Hook played their old
trick once more. practically going to
sleep while on duty. In the races two
yenrs ago, II VIII be recalled, the winds
several times quit business and left
the boats 10 drift over the course. II
was thought that the later date OF
the races this year would result in
n assuring strong and steady winds.

In Cleveland. o., there is a unique
organization that is doing much for
the identifying of the city and of pri-
vate grounds. 1t is called the Home
Gardening Association, and encourages
children to cultivate flowers at home.
Last spring the association distributed
to children $4,000 small packages of
flower seeds, accompanied with printed
instructions telling how to prepare the
sell, plant the seed and water the
plants. Association members supple
mented these instructions by giving
little talks to gatherings of the child
dren. 1t is stated that not less than IS
per cent of the efforts of the children
have been successful. The love of the
beautiful that is thus cultivated in the
children will remain with them
through life. We would like to see the
children of Savannah-and the grown
up folks, too. for that matter-take a
deeper interest in the cultivation of
flowers. In this climate we can have
beautiful blooms practically all of the
year around.
