The fourth week Of the DEECHER trial has
closed, and the public interest in the pro-
ceedines has grown from day to day until it
has attained even broader scope than when
it was first thundered throughout the New
World and the Old. When the trial opened,
there was lull in the popular interest A
long truce, only broken by series OF parti-
sun fusilades and the throwing-up of earth
works, had deprived the public Of the stimu-
liant upon which sensation lives and grows.
1t was thought that the climax Of public in
terest had been reached and passed, and that
the trial would fail to revive it. Every nd
vantage had been taken by the public press
during the early stnses Of the scandal to crowd
partisan enthusiasm to its height. The enter
prise Of the Chicago press, published 1000
miles from the locus sce7,r, in collecting
formation and publishing original documents
in advance OF New York and Brooklyn, was
notable instance Of this. The scandal spanned
whole continent as fully as it engrossed the
two neiglboring cities in which it grew. It
travelled even further, md flashed by wire
into all the countries Of Europe. But it YVES
thought to have been exhausted at last It
was believed that both cases had been CON-
pletely presented, and TINT it would pass into
history as disputed evidence Of the moral
and social characteristics Of our time. So it
was that, when the trial opened with its un-
interesting efforts at securing jury, there
was general feeling that the people cared
but little for it, md preferred to abide by the
conclusions they had already, OF await the
verdict Of tho Brooklyn jury before giving the
matter any further heed.
But now It Is evident On I'll sides that the
old interest is reviving. The nowspnpers are
eradually Increasing the space they had al"
lottad 10 1t, showing TINT they follow fnthe1
than create the greed for sensation which
they asa 10 frequently and unjustly con.
denncd for promoting. A cincinnaa editor

1t meeting Of citizens held last Thursday
evening, several committees were appointed
to visit the merchants, insurance men, ium-
be1men, manufacturers, attorneys, bankers,
the Board Of Trade, capitalists, railroads, and
other business men md corporations, to go
l;cit contributions Of funds to the Public Ii
lrary for the purchase Of books. These conf
mittees were made up from among the FORE
most business men of tho city, and We hope
TINT every one Of them will consider it per-
sonal duty of paramount importance to de-
vote sufficient time to the work to make up in
the aggregate the deficiency left in the city
appropriation. To do this it will be neces-
sory to raiso at least $4,000 by subscrip-
ton; aud, if every one Of the commit
tees will organize and 60 about the work
Systematically, We are confident that this
amount of money can be Obtained in two
weeks' time. All Of it is to be devoted to
the purchase Of books, and Will thus go to
the permanent improvement Of the Library |;
and the appeal to the best interests Of the
community is so strong that it cannot be re-
sisted by any good citizen who has dollar to
spare.
The uses and necessities Of the Public
Library were admirably set forth by 2lr.
POOLE, the Librarian, in his address before
the meeting of .Thursday evening. The
growth o. the institution has been simply uu-
paralleled- With O practical existence Of less
thnn year, it has. the largest number of
dailv book-borrowers in the country. The
Boston Library, which has been in operation
twenty-one years, has an average OF Sti2 daily
borrowers; the Cincinnati Library, IT'S; the
New York Mercantile Library, G54; and
tie Chicago Public Library has IN
average daily circulation of 1,e51, and
in one day IS many rs 2,a39 BOOKS
vere loaned out as against this showing
the Boston Library has $4,000 books; the
Cincinnati Library, eo,0oo; the New York
Mercantile Library, lac, 600: and the Chicago
Library less than s., 900 volumes. In other
words the Chicaeo Public Library, with
about one-fourth the average number OF vol
umes. has about three times tho average
number Of renders In spite of this discrep-
ancy, which should have suggested every
possible effort to increaso the resources OF
the Library as ono OF the most Faioaoie
educational institutions we have, the Com
mon Council cut-dovn its appropriations for
TIM present year to less than one-ha'f what
ths Library is entitled to under the law. The
$4,000 girsn by tho Coundh for 1875 barely
sufices to cover the running expenses of the
institution if managed in the most econonn'
cal manner. Unless money Is raised by pop
u}ar subscription, therefore, not single
book can be purchased this year
md befora the end Of tho year

The recent Grand Jury closed its report
with the following significant statement:
s.From the testimony taken, we regret to soy
that the charge of Aldermanic corruption lin
the Wabash Avenue Horse Railroad matterJ
rests On stronger grounds than mere s11s''eaon.
The charge so often made that m lmportant
franchise cannot be passed without the e1-
penditure of q large sum OF money "oolo
appear, By the testimony produced before u.s.
to bo simply tbs truth. Corporations apply
inr recently for Aldermanic favors have, In
some instances, been obliged to 'put up Large
sums as q condition precedent to Adermanlo
action" This is the statement OF twenty
three honest, unprejudicod citizens under
oath. after hearing the testimony brought be-
fire them. It's moral effect is just as strong
and forcible as if they had presented m H.
dictmeut, In the eyes of all honest and
respectable people, the Legislative Depart
ment Of this city stands convicted Of sys-
tenatic and continued acts Of blaclnail md
bribery. The record has gone abroad that
an important franchise cannot be passed by
them without the payment Of large sum OF
/ money to thom~ This shows that, although
there may be honest men III the Council, the
/ majority of them are dishonest. It shows
very clearly why men having in many in-
| stances no visible means Of support work
industriously and even zeelously to obtain
! an Office which hes no salary or legit-
mate enolument, and, when they have OBJ
tanned it, devote their whole tins to it,
and manage to live comfortably upon their
unlawful and backhanded earnings. This is
one of the points Of the "People's Party, "
which has in effect licensed gamblers, thieves,
burglars, and prostitutes, and handed the
city over to the rule of the vicious, depraved,
and criminal classes. It is bud enough now,
but what hope is there for the future unless
tho citizens arouse themselves to the gravity
Of the situation2 How much longer will they
stand by and see such disgrace branded
upon tho Legislators of this city by Grand
jury and not resolve to wipe it out at the first
opportunity by the election of honest men

4 ROYAL SKELEION.
The following placard, headed 1000

Broadway, New York, United States. Only tho one
copy is known to he in the United statas.
From the large sum which is offered for the
recovery Of this book, it is evident that it is
q very lamentable and distressing skeleton in
the Royal family, which it is desirable to
thrust out Of sight as soon as possible. Con-
siderable curiosity has been manifested to
discover the identity Of the scandalous wait.
The New York Times is Of opinion that it has
reference to the late King Of Hnnoyer, who,
while Duke Of Cumberland, was alleged to be
guilty of most infamous crimes, among them
the murder of his own valet. writer in
the Gyup}r, however, claims that the book is
