THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY.

FROM the New 1Ork Tribune.
''Ask Spofford, " is one of the proverbs
of Washington life, frankly confessing to
limited familiarity with books, and
economically placing the inquirer in the
shortest and surest path of knowledge.
The Librarian to Congress is an index to
his library. He knows the contents of
his books. And that is a great thing to
know; for he has charge of 1S5, 227 vol
umes. He is one of the few Federal of
ficials We are acquainted with, born for
his Office. And all his life he has been
training for it. The value of such man
the comfort of having such man-can
not bemeasured. Hundreds of members of
both branches of Congress have in the
last seven years unreservedly testified to it
by "asking Spofford. A member of the
Pacific Railroad Committee wants to know
how much timber and water there is on
the ella route, and what is the climate,
and what are the soil and productions of
the Saskatchewan Valley. In five minutes
time he has in his hand penciled memoir
andum of the books which contain the
information he needs, accompanied by the
inquiry if he will have them sent to his
committee room or to his lodgings. In a
moment Spofford can set the Congressional
linancier down among the historical facts
and sequences of the resumption of
specie payments by the Bank of Eng
land after the Napoleonic wars
and he can assure his study against
error by telling him what authorities are
recognized and what are doubtful.
