The Fletcher Free Library

This library, though as yet only partial
ly open to the public, is getting to be the
most valuable institution in the city. II is
thronged daily by an eager, anxious crowd,
and whoever walks the street is reminded
by the multitude of books he sees carried
to and fro that there is free library here
well patronized. Who could have sup
posed library, as yet not half open to the
public, without catalogue, could get 276
persons TO take out each book In one day,
as was done here last Saturday. When the
people learn the full value and extent of
this library, when it is catalogued and all
its books ready to be drawn by those de-
sirous of reading, we may safely calculate
upon at least three times as many hooks
being taken out in day as there are now.
Who, then, can calculate the amount of
instruction, the moral power there will be
contained within its volumes. While we

man has opened our door to ask q cues

William Pitt Kellogg, governor do facto
of Louisiana, has addressed memorial to
congress, in anticipation of possible at
tempt to seat the democratic members
elect from that state on certificates granted
by McEnery, claiming that McEnery is, in
honor, estopped from further questioning
his, Kellogg's, title as governor, because
he agreed to submit his claim to the con-
gressional committee and they decided in
Kellogg's favor because the legislature OF
Louisiana, majority being McEnerys
partisans, have recognized Kellogg be-
cause McEnery has always professed to
desire settlement for the sake of peace,
and peace followed the congressional CON-
promise and because McEnery and his
friends, as state rights men, cannot con-
sstently ask congress to interfere and an
null the act of legislature of sovereign
state. So long as it will make no difference
with the rights of these members elect
their claim to seats being unquestioned, and
they holding Kellogg's certificate of cleo
tion-it is to be hoped that congress will
not again open the old Louisiana sore. The
stirring up it will receive in the senate, on
Pinchback's claim, will be about all the
country can stand.

pleased, eager throng of borrowers that
come In and draw books, we think he could
but wish to steal away and that he would
say, am sorry voted to shut up the
doors of that library last summer. IL any
person possessed of abundant means can
go and look at that throng of book bor-
rowers and not feel as though he wanted
to add to the number OF books there we
cannot imagine of what stuff such wealthy
men are made.
The donors of this library are to be en-
wed that they had the good sense to seize
upon this special method of doing good to
the world, and to this city in pai ticular,
for all coming time, Certainly, they could
not have found in any other field an ave-
nue. open when 80 little money could do so
much good-a field in which to do good
which is continually open and calling for
more, and when by doubling the amount
given the good to be done can be much
more than doubled.
The first donors, however, are not the
only ones who have right to give for this
cause, though they have secured the name
and got 1t copyrighted. Whosoever
will, let him give, and give freely, the more
the better. The library, of course, is not a
full and complete one, but it is good
beginning for library.
If any one is preparing to add another
ten thousand dollars to its funds, now is o
good time for t,before its catalogue is com
pleted. The gift now would be better than
twelve thousand after the catalogue goes to
press. Its trustees, we know, are hoping
for more money before the catalogue goes
to press. We hope the founders of this
library may occasionally spend pleasant
afternoon in the library and be cheered by
the sight of the good their noble gift is do
ing, and that they may long live to enjoy
the sight for they have laid the foundation
| for an institution the city will never agar
allow to be closed. To close it now woult
create almost as great rumpus as to hav'
the postofflce closed for month. -Burling

only shows what could be raised, and Is
stated TO show that there is good reason for
believing that the number represented by
the skins sent to the furriers Is, In all prob
ability, very much under the mark.
As to winged game, 1t would hardly be
thought that one bird, pheasant, grouse or
partridge, to every two acres would be q
high estimate for the whole crop of the
country. This would give $1,000, 900, or
putting it one bird for every four acres,
would give 100000. That this is q mod
crate estimate would seem to be apparent,
when 1t is stated by various witnesses that
the shooting rents average at least 25 cents
to the acre through the whole kingdom.
1t is known that the dser shooting of 70
forests in Scotland yield about one million
this all the venison raised in parks, all the
black game, plover, waterfowl, ETC., Of
which 30 large an amount Is constantly
seen in their seasons In all the game deal
ers' shops.
All of these facts seem to indicate that the
above mentioned estimate is a reasonable
one. This immense wealth, for immense
| it is, at the lowest reckoning, Is one accru-
| ing to the nation almost wholly by the
| operation of the game laws. That all kinds
| of game would be practically exterminated
| if there were no game laws Is attested by
| the opinion of every witness of whom the
question was asked, and is shown by the
wants of the continent consequent upon
the temporary suspension of all game laws
save that of securing the shooting to the
tenant of the soil. 1t is well to bear in
mind that all this great product is borne
upon a land where its agricultural use
is the dominant use, and in a country
where, in the interest of food, every avail
able acre is put to use-all this on an ares
about equsl to New England, or New York
and Pennsylvania. If we measure the
game capacities of each by the areas aban
doned TO scrub, or swamp, or forest, ther
the game area of the New England state,
alone is more than double the game are,
of all Great Britain. There is to be added
to these considerations the fact that whil'
in Great Britain only that is RENTED t.
the exclusive occupation of game which i
fit for no agricultural use, In New England
the land thus RENTED is such that, will
English capital and culture, would almos
all be tillable or pasturable land. From al
this there is no violence done to PROBABILITY
in asserting that, vast as is the game pro
duct of the British Isles, that of New Eng
land might be vaster still were we to Civ
to game and the rights of property tn
same protection the Briton does.

THE LATEST NOVELTY.

Some one has started the idea, we be-
lieve in the Washington Chronicle, that the
senate is not bound to elect one of its own
members president pro tempore. The argu-
ment ID based upon the fact that the con-
stitution does not declare that such officer
shall be selected from the senate. The
constitution, after providing that the vice
DuaNssdfia2qt IfRal he pSesidept pof- tie senate,
tie, declares as follows: "The senate shall
"chooGe their other officers, and also a
"president pro tempore, in the absence of
d" the vice-president, or when he shall ex-
"ercise the office of president OF the
=" United States 1t will be noted that
the president pro tempore is not classed as
an officer of the senate-and the inference
is fair, and the only legitimate one, that the
constitution regarded him as merely SEN
ator temporarily acting as president of that
body. The clause varies from that provid-
ing for the election of a speaker of the
house only in calling the speaker an officer,
that clause reading "The house of repre-
'sentatives shall choose their speaker and
''other officers" The fact that is it provided
that the vice-president shall have no
the vote, while the constitution Is
silent relative to the vote of speaker
or president pro tempore, would seem
to be conclusive of the intention to have
these officers selected from the members of
their respective bodies. Certainly If one
can be selected from the people at large,
the other can.
But conceding that there may have been
doubt about it, the construction put upon
the clause by the trainers thereof would be
decisive Of the question. OF the trainers
of the constitution, the following were
members of the first senate John Lang
don of New Hampshire Oliver Ellsworth,
afterwards chief justice of the United
States, and William Samuel johnson, of
Connecticut Caleb Strong of Massachu-
sets Rufus King of New York William
Paterson of New Jersey Robert Morris
of Pennsylvania George Read and Rich
ard Bassett of Delaware Pierce Butler
of South Carolina, and William Few of
Georgia. These men, who were presumed
to understand the construction of the con-
stitution which they framed, united in
clecting, within one month after the organ
ization of the senate, John Langdon of
New Hampshire, himself one of its trainers,
president pro tempore, and reelected him,
at least, thrice afterwards. At the same
time, George Washington was president,
Alexander Hamilton secretary of the treas
ury, and Edmund Randolph attorney gen.
eral, all members of the consti-
tutional convention. Subsequently, Abra-
ham Baldwin, another signer of the
constitution, was elected president pro tenn
pore as was John Gaillard, during q
vacancy in the Office of vice. president and
while James Madison, who mainly draught
ed the constitution, was president. II the
intention had been to create new office,
these men would have understood it and
acted accordingly. Their construction is
conclusive and is, moreover, in accordance
with the plain import of the language used.

The Albany Evening Journal, in

spicuous feature is the extreme
dizziness which has characterized IL
nearly every month Of the season.
A large amount was left over on
the opening Of navigation. Gus
toners found so abundant q supply,
and so much anxiety to sell, that
they postponed purchases, except
for immediate wants; and except
for few kinds, which were In scant
supply, the figures were as low at
the close as at any time during the
season. These prices were not re-
munerative to the manufacturers,
and in most cases were below the
cost OF production, but the extreme
ly low rates Of lake and canal
freights have been favorable to
them, by reducing the cost. This
has somewhat mitigated the effect

The Burlington Hawkeye points
out in the following choice language
the way for the anti-adminis-
trationists to "come in out of the
wet:" "To these worse than pro-
digals we say there is plenty OF
room for them in the house they
attempted to destroy, and its
doors are wide open to them when
they wish to return. But they
must come in the house. They
cannot loaf around the back yard
as anti-Monopolist and receive the
Republican sustenance from the
house. They can't perch on the
Independent front fence, and only
come scrambling up to the door at
lunch time. They can't go loafing
and performing around in the back
yard, throwing dabs of mud at the
windows, and desiring to be con-
ciliated every time they smell a
toothsome Whit from the kitchen.
They must come clear in and be
Republicans, and then they will
find a warm welcome and never a
word of reproach for their past
misconduct"
