For ten years past we have had peri

have been drawn; stock subscribed, and

come simply disgraceful All the argu-
ments in favor Of the enterprise have
been exhausted, and the question is now
to be determined whether We are to
have hotel or not- With population
of twenty thousand souls, we have hotels
which are excelled by nearly every vii
lage in the East and Northwest If
private enterprise will not build it, why
cannot the city loan it's credit for such
ataa laudable undertaking, and secare itself
by a mortgage on the property. 1t
would be good investment if the city
'iA would donate fifty Thousand dollars to
any man who would build such ahouss

/ am satisfied that good hotel, locat-
ed in the heart of the city, with stores
underneath, would pay the stockholders
- at least six per cent on the invesfmsnt,
a. but if it should never pay a. cent the
5 business men of Evansville could afford
TO oiue the amount of their subscrip-

Editors Journal:
haa After the perusal Of the article on the
City Library Association, in the JoUR.
az NAL Of this morning. the following ideas
came into my mind, and thinking that
no bad result could follow, / have com.
mitted them to paper. It seems TO me,
first that the present rate of suhscrip-
tionsis TOO high. Second, that the ar
80 rangement of books is wrong, and fur
ther, that the systeR for drawing books
10 not in accordance with the establish
ed rule in other cities. These objections,
= il founded on fact, go toward retarding
r She growth of an institution so interest,"
ing to US ell. l cannot, perhaps, better
illustrate the existence of wrong man
eay agsmsnt, thar by citing an example of
success where based upon different reg
uIasions. The city of Springfield,
Mass, has population of about twenty
five thousand (25,00O), which is about
the same as that of Evansville, yet she
has, within very few years, built up
,snc Library of nearly eighteen thousand
volumes. The secret of her success is,
think, owing solely TO judicious man
agement The rates of subscription
have always been light One dollar

that it is, indeed, time that the moral MEANS once
successful in arresting the progress of this
dreadful vice, should be employed again in all

and promising young men, are fast becoming con
firm ed sots, and an unspeakable disgrace and af-
Fiction where they ought to be a joy and pride
ton before them, because husbands and fathers
are forgetting their duties, in he low pleasures
