Seattle Library Association.

About one month ago Dexter Horton.
Esq, made proposition to the Seattle
Library Association to donate five hun
dred dollars upon condition that one
thousands dollars be contributed to the
same object By others within thirty DAYS.
At meeting of the Association. on
Tuesday evening, the Secretary report
ed that nine hundred and one dollars of
the additional one thousand had been
subscribed by responsible parties. After
short and pertinent address by Rev.
T. Whitworth, the subscription was in
creased to 1867 SO; leaving $31 so to be
raised to secure the munifcent donation
of Mr.. Horton. This small balance will
be Immediately made up, and on next
Saturday the subscribers will be called
upon for the money. This fifteen hun
dred dollars in addition to the books on
hand, will give the library two thousand
dollars worth of choice standard works;
a splendid nucleus around which NAV
be built an institution of ever increasing
honor to its projectors and pleasure and
profit to the citizens.
In mere material view this is most
judicious investment, and needs but the
active and cordial cooperation of all
good citizens to greatly enhance its val
ne. All other societies and social or
carnations for mutual improvement or
enjoyment may make this common
centre fer literary exercises without det-
riment. Connect with it reading
room where the stranger and sojourner
may resort and read the current news of
the day and learn from the persons
he meets there the most attractive as
poets CT our city and the surrounding
country; and where our young men
without homes may find an agreeable
and instructive refuge from the haunts
Of vice and demoralizing recreations.
Associate with it the lyceum and lecture,
public readings and literary entertain
ments, making the library the centre as
well as source of ALL Thus it will grow
and increase in usefulness and influence
until it becomes the pride of every citi-
zen and the chief attraction Of the town,
every dollar paid for its support return
ing large dividend in the benefits it
will reflect upon the cause of education
religion, public morality and general in.
telligence, and the attraction which a.
of these offer to the better class of inn
migrants to make their homes amid
such surroundings, and contribute their
capital, industry and enterprise to the
material wealth of the community, to
the great enhancement of all real val
ues.
To achieve these benefits which are
manifestly acknowledgements only
united purpose and unity of endeayor
among all of those interested There is
no cause, and there should certainly be
no occasion given or taken, to entertain
any personal jealousy or diversity of
sentiment that might obstruct or impair
its benign Influence. 1t is as much
common interest as the air we breathe |
Or the water we drink, and every mem
Der of the community is as directly in
terested in maintaining its vitality and
preserving its purity.

ExPLANAToRY.-A we had left the
Office on Monday evening, the printers,
in making up the Daily, placed the COM
munication of Messrs Larrabee & White
nnder the editorial head. thus apparent
ly giving it editorial endorsement. This
was the farthest thing possible from our
intention, and directly opposed to our
views of the duties and responsibilities
of an Independent journal. The COM
munication was presented for publica-
ton expressly as an advertisement, to
be paid for at advertising rates. Its au-
thors did not propose of auggest any
other conditions, holding themselves
exclusively responsible for the publica-
ton. These aIe the only conditions
upon which any communication not of
public interest has ever appeared in
these columns, and in all such cases,
entirely free from editorial bias or pre-
judice. When Col. Larrabee was the
owner of the material upon which the
paper was printed and partner in its
publication, he never demanded or was
conceded any privileges inconsist Mt
with this rule In this Maynard case
we have never had direct or contin-
gent interest of any kind, or been the
msdium Of any statement of either par
ty to the controversy without being en-
tirely willing to concede the same privi-
lege to the ther party. The merits of
case we know nothing about, nor seek to
know anything. The right of lawyers
to prosecute or defend, according to law,
in this as in every other case involving
the title to real estate, is entirel, remov-
ed from the legitimate province of news
paper discussion. The courts aloneare
the proper tribunals to determine suct
rights, and it is sheer impertinence II
any editor to offer his opinion upon The
subject as to whether suits are rghtfully
or wrongfully brought.

1t has been truly remarked that there

Cuba.

HAVANA, August S.-The Diarto De La
Marina Of to-day says of the kilograms an
nouncing decree annuling the sequestra-
ton Of the property of Cuban rebels that it
will not pronounce the news false for fear of
misleading the public. 1t cannot accept it
without official confirmation. The Diario
thinks it impossible that the Spanish Gov
ernment DEGREES the immediate return Of
their property to rebels and rebel sympa-
thizers. 1t says the rebels have used the
greater part of their resources in buying
vessels and arms to carry on the war, and
that the return of their property will send
out new expeditions and prolong the strug-
gle. 1t thinks such action would be an abb
surdity and show want Of reason and
patriotic sentiment on the part of the Gov
ernment. The loyal people of Cuba are
making heavy sacrifices to enable the Gov
ernment to sustain the increasing expenses
of the war, and 1t Is great Outrage to take
q million or more out of the treasury in this
Wly.

The T1cHBoRGE CAsE-CHASGE OF OPINION
RESPECTING THE CLAIMANT.-A London letter
to the World says: was greatly surprised
last night when gentleman, for whose
Judgment I have great respect, and who
has carefully watched In person the progress
of the Tichborne trial up to this moment,
told me that for himself he had become con-
yinced that the defendant was Roger Itch
borne, and that the trial would result in Q
DISAGREEMENT of the jury. cts evident" "

up their minds so firmly that the man Is an
imposter that nothing can change them

neally knows it, and he shows that he knows
it. ..r...
"The other jurymen were inclined to the
same opinion, but they are open to conVlc.
ton. and Kenneally is making a wonderful
impression upon them. The innate vulgar

while, and he says things that iDjnre himself
and his client; as, for instance, his shame

evils to their pupils and his other ridicu-
Ions argument that because the French SOL

their knapsacks and the Germans bad no.

being half Frenchman, was wholly a
villain and blackguard; but for all
that he is making q great effort 1or
his client, and is winning over the
unbiased jurymen to his side. They
will not agree, and tile mystery, be-
lieye, will remain always unsolyed: AS for
the man bimself, have sat within three feet
of him for weeks, and have closely watched
him for hours at time. Tain convinced.
