The only an- | swer was: “It shall be tried,” and it was. From that dayto this no unduly expensive pave- ments have been laid in this District. ow then, how can this exemption from excessive cost in District improvements be enjoyed? Only by the unremitting vigilance of the peop! of the District. Doubtless such watehfulness is claimed for the past. But let me ask how many citizens know what was attempted at the last session of Congress in respect to District improvements? We will take this matter of paving, for example. Even after d pavements, both of stone and of asphalt, had been laid last year ror consider- ably less than two dollars ($2) per square yard, some at $1.73 and $1.75, a dill was introduced into the Senate anthorizing $300,000 to be imme- diately expended in street improvements, aud expressly naming three dollars (#3) as the limit or maximum to be paid to contractors per Square yard. A startling feature of the bill was the appointment of a special and salaried com- mission of three persons, who should have abso- lute control of the entire matter, making the contracts, measuring the work and disbursing the funds, and entirely ignoring the District Commissioners, who were receiving salaries for Just such service, and for the protection of the government and ‘the citizens from extravagant expenditure of the public money. Again, later in the session, a like “maximum” of $3 per Square yard was inserted in the bill for the permanent government of the District. The Senate debate on that clause Is Instruc- tive reading. The impression honestly prevaile among the Senators that good paving could not be done for less than $3 per square yard, and they had generally been so informed. State- ments by Senator Bayard contrary, and based upon carefully furnished them, w: anced: neous, aud the #3 feature passed by a he majority. Prompt conferences were had tha evening and the following morning with many Senators—able and consistent friends of the District—and some were conducted pavements that had bee and that had stood the 5 on’ truth of the statement that confidently made to the effect: that: “paving can be well and dural id eitaer h stone or and less juare yard,” The vote of the day before ed. and $2 named as the mixinvin square yard, and subsequently the enee committee omitted nam: it being demonstrated by t th teen months that wit nate committer omy in the past, “Washington would he best paved and sewered elt We trust it may become so in t Other cities are paving with intense quiry concerning them to me, to which thi: of these inquirers ectipring, as he a: front rank in the Jegal fraternity of city, is curious to know whether it is “pos to combine in asphalt pavements the two features Of moderate cost and durabillt ¢an now answer yes. ‘The great desideratum is that the eyes of good citizens shall be open and keen.

Many little circumstances of more or les significance have occurred since the recent elec- ton pointing strongly in that direction. T impelling motive is transparent enough. Conkling has set his affections on the republ nomination for the next Presidency, and in order to secure the prize he has discovered that he cannot afford to further antagonize any sec- tion of the party. He is now in a frame of mind to be frie with anybody and everybody. His recent success in his state has convinced him that its thirty-five electoral votes are his prop- erty, and in order to augment. his political cap- ital stock he ts prepared to make almost auy concessions and almost. any promises. The re- instatement of Mr. Arthur as collector will no longer be insisted upon, and Mr. Cornell will be left to shift for himself, as the nator has other interests to care for.
