Wearing Of the Green.

Oh! Johnny, dear, and did you hear
The news that's going round?
The Shamrock Is allowed at last
TO grow on Irish ground;
ST. Patrick's Day we now may keep,
Our colors can be seen.
Tor there is no bloody law against
The wearing OF the green.
All honor to John Redmond
And to his gallant band.
Who drove those landlord robbers
From our own beloved land;
st. Patrick smiles upon them
From his blessed home on high,
And hearkens as he did OF yore
10 his faithful children's cry.
The United Irish Land League
Has made gallant fight,
And Home Rule, Sc long deferred,
Is practically in sight.
It will be the happiest country
That ever yet has been
When all the men and women there W
Are wearing OF the green.
But one more onslaught will be made
On the Saxon's cruel reign,
That flag over Dublin Castle
Can't much longer there remain;
The emblem Of starvation
Il And oppression sharp and keen
In Gods providence will be replaced
BY our own stainless flag Of green.
But mingled with this song Of Joy
Dscordant notes we hear
From the Clan-na-Gael blatherskites,
Who kept skulking In tho rear
This clique Of "fighting' Irlshmen,
Without one distinguished name
These degenerate sons Of noble slres
Should hide their heads in shame.
From lands beneath tho Southern Cross
TO the old Head OF Kinsale.
The shout Of victory sweeps along
On every Irish gale;
The Niobe Of nations.
With proud and lofty mien,
VIII never more be Knocked and scourged
For wearing of the green.

THE POLL TAX REQUIREMENT

In reply to questions asked by Delegate
Charles r.. Bland OF Portsmouth, At
korney-General William A. Anderson has
transmitted to the General Assembly his
interpretation OF that part of the now
suffrage plan which involves the payment
of the capitation tax as n prerequisite
to registering and voting. In brief. the
Attorney General says that as In 1909,
30 in 1908. all persons qualified to register
may do SO without having paid their poll
tax. All such persons will be on the
permanent roll. and will not have to
register again.
Any person Offering TO register during
the year 1901 must, as a prerequisite,
have paid the State poll tax of 81 for
each of the years 1901 and 1902. assessable
against him under the former Consttu-
ton, and the poll tax of sl.d0 for the
year 1903. assessable under the new Con-
Btitution. But these requirements. of
course. do not apply to the poll tax for
Any year in which the applicant was not,
by reason OF ago Or residence, legally
liable 10 he assessed. And 30 from that
time on any person qualified to register
must have paid the poll tax assessed or
assessable against him for the three
years preceding that In which he Offers

SO much for registration. Now as to
voting. In 1904 any person who was reg
istered in 1902 or 1903. and got his name
on the permanent roll must have paid
his poll tax OF $50 for tho year 1903.
assessable under the present Cons,!tu.
tion, before he can vote.
ANY person registering in 1904 and Of
sering TO vote In that year must have
paid his poll tax for 1901. 1902 and 1903
provided he was subject to the poll tax
In those years,
In 1906 tho voter REGISTERfo after
January LIST. 1904, must have paid the
poll taxes assessable against him for the
years 1902. 1898 and 1904.
Before being allowed TO VOTE AT any
sleotion In 1905 the voter reg!stered In
1902 or 1868 must have paid the poll taxes

STREET PAVING.

Two great problems with which the
~, ,c,y,al authorities Of this country
are constantly wrestling are how to Sc
cnro n safe and reliable supply Of pure
water and how to pave their streets SO
as to have smooth and enduring road
ways.
Or the macadam street 1t is complained
frat II "a unsuitable for heavy traffic,
wears out too soon. and makes q great
deal Of dust. In some localities Its dust.
carried far and wide by wind, Is charged
with being the means by Which broncM-
Tia asthma and catarrh are germinat tied,
or at least Increased.
OF asphaltum It's said that 1t IS exceed
ingly hot in tho summer; that 1t wears
into holes very easily, and that to repair
q ia d,fticult and complete restoration Is
merit to impossible.
OF Belgium block or granite spa"l
thcy say it is suitable enough for streets
where heavy wagons arc IN constant use,
hut that there and everywhere else IT Is
noisy. vitrifed brick has its friends and
advocates. and is regarded as very de-
s,rable pavement for streets where the
wear is light, but 1t Is n question whether
It has much endurance under the wheels
of heavy vehicles.
And now. In some OF the big cities,
wood pavements have come into use
again, and much is claimed for them
when laid as they arc now laid, They
were very much In vogue twenty-five
years ago, and afforded the public n
smooth and elastic roadway: but the
wood rotted in places and great difficulty
was found in mending It. 1t Is said.
however. that the system now offered for
adoption, and which Is In uso In Paris
and elsewhere, differs from that we for
merly knew, and will last longer than
any other pavement that can be put
down for the same money.
The advantage In the newer method is
mainly in tho construction OF the bed
upon which the wooden blocks are placed.
Great care is also taken in selecting
the wooden blocks and In using pitch
on them, so that they will be impervlous
to water.
1t Is not probable that any uniform
grade of pavement can ever be adopted
for the cities generally. What Will suit
one place will not suit another. The
macadam used in one place Is different
from that used In other places So. TOO.
with granolithic material The latter
we have not tried here. except In small
way. Macadam we know all about, and
Il is not by any means free from OBJ
jeotion, Wheels of vehicles grind 1t into
minute particles which float into all
parts of the city and lodge upon houses,
furniture. flower beds. etc, as well as
upon the persons OF our citizens. But
for the street spr!nklers Of which We
have not half enough. the floating mac
adam would be almost uncomfortable.
We hope the time Is not far distant
when Richmond will be able financially
and otherwise to abandon macadam. on
important strests at least. and give us
something else better and cleaner
What that "something else" ought to
be We cannot say. but VIC could hardly
fare worse by any change.
