Eastern newspapers, and especially those pub
lished in Boston, haye been accustomed to
Bpoak contemptuously OF the intelligence md
culture Of Western people, and perhaps no other
Western city has been singled ont for remarks
Of this nature moro often than Chicago. A.
sufficient answer to all this will bo found in the
first report Of 11r. Poole to the Directors Of the
Public Library. Since the opening Of the Library
for the circulation OF books, On May !, there
haa been a stoady increaso In the daily average
Of books given out. ThlB average was 1888 for tue
first week aud TAO for tho seventh ueok. Tho
average Of the Boston Library In Its twelfth
year Was 604 Of the Cncinnati Library In ita
sixth year, 778; OF tho Now York Mercantile
Library, for the year onding April, 1874, GA
volumes. It must lie remembered that In all the
comparisons made, tho librarlea mentioned have
four OF Aye times moro books to lend than tho
Chicago Library. This report Is pretty good
evidence that the people Of Chicago, II thoy aro
not intelligent and cultured, would like to DO; ;
and that is aaying moro for them than tile
outside press has been willing to say. We
commend tho report OF Mr. Poole to tho earnest
confederation Of tho mombers Of tho Common
Council who thought 1t wise policy to reduce
the appropriation for Library purposes, willis in-
creaslng in many other inatancoa tho itams

Secretary Brlstow's energetic attempts at q
radical reform in the Treasury Department have
excited much opposition iu Washington, and tho
murmurings Of the dispoasessed arc beginning
to lind way into the newspapers. A complaint
WAS nAdc In ono Of tho Chicago evening papers
yesterday, probably without the approval of the
responsible editor. that the Secretary is making
feint at reform. The facts do not support
this statement. hlr. Bristow'e last ofIl-
oh act before leaving for Kontucky
was to order tho cleaning out Of the
official stables. whose existence first became
known to the general public last wintor, when
the Williams laudaulet scandal WAS raised. The
great danger ia that the Secretary will deal too
hastily with the knaveH and nincompoopB who arc
attached to the Department in ono capacity or
another, These mon can exert combined in-
tluenee Of considerable power, which may result
In shortening tie term OF Rlr. Bristow's useful
