THE Joint Committee ON the Library,
of which Senator Howe of Wisconsin
is the new chairman, will at once pro-
coed to examine the plans for new Ma
tional Library building authorized by
the last Congress, which have been pre-
pared by the leading architects of the
country and are now in the hands of the
librarian of Congress. The most sue
cessful architects will receive prizes of
1900, $1,000 and $500 respectively.
The plan of locating the proposed
building on one of the squares east of
the capitol, just purchased and cleared
of buildings by the government, has
been abandoned, and the grand library
will probably be located below the CAPT
tol, on the west side, near Pennsylvania
avenue. The plans will be placed on
exhibition as soon as the prizes have
been awarded by the judges. On ac-
count of the present stringency in the
finances, it is doubtful whether any lap
preparation for the purpose will be made
by the present Congress.

A Hoax that liz a Hoax.

tFrom the Missouri Republican,, Feb. 10Th.
a cruel hoax was perpetrated yes
terday upon the legislature ut Jeifer-
son, by the unfounded announcement
of the sudden death OF Hon. j. Il.
Kelley. the member from Camden
county, of quick consumption. The
customary resolutions wore passed,
several members awaited themselves
ofthe opportunity to air their powers
of eulogium, and, after the usual con-
ferment of apothcosis in this manner,
a committee was appointed TO accom-
pany the remains to the home of the
deceased. The COMMITTEES, having
with due solemnity proceeded to the
domicil or the late member, fonnd the
remains engaged at dinner the only
evidences of consumption" visible
being those afforded by the rapid
disappearance of edible solids and
potable fluids. 1t is presumed that a
perusai of the house journal OF YES
lerda ny will be of the most violent
edllication to the gentleman from
Camden county; a presumption which
probably could not be made to cover
the cases OF the gentlemen who made
the cnlogistic speeches. We would
suggest that hereafter, in cases OF
this Kind, the house defer action un.
til the object of the Testimonials OF
respect Is pronounced defunct by
competent medical authority.

Ct. Louis w. senator strother

Nj. Strothcr, State Senator from
this district, is proving himself n very
efficient member of tho present Legis-
laturc, and has taken a high stand
for industry and ability. Just now,
however. the business men Of St.
Lonis, especially the commission
merchants, are after the Senator with
a sharp stick. The difficulty is a
change proposed in the law by Mr..
Stroller, which requires q written
authority from shippers of goods tc
enable commission merchants te
use bills of lading or warehouse
receipts as collaterals in procuring
loans. AS the law now stands lie
such written authority is necessary
but 1t Is provided that if q commits.
sion merchant alter hypothccatius
bills of lading or warehouse receipts,
does not account to the owner of the
goods, he shall be subject to a fine
of one thousand dollars or imprison-
ment in the %pcnitcntiary for five
years, or both. 1t does not require n
very keen eye to detect a fine opening
for swindiers in the present plan.
Senator Strothcr's amendment will
simply render it more difficult for
rascally commission merchants to ap-
propriate the hard earnings of the
farmers. 1t will no doubt prove u
trife more inconvenient for the ST.
Louis merchants; but in principle,
both as regards business and honesty.
We believe the change would prove
salutarv.
