MACHINE REFORUERS.'

We showed Yesterday that the s0-called in
vcstieation into the conduct of the Indian
Bureau. resulting in the dismissal of the Com
missioner and Chicf:Clcrk, waslmalicious in its
animus and unfair in its methods and we
took the liberty of quoting some sentences
from two private letters of President
Scclyc, of Amherst College, late MEM
Der of the Committee on Indian Affairs
in the House, expressing the same opin-
ion. Tie Secretary OF the Interior Is
afflicted with the most dangerous of
modern pcss-foo friends and these are
prompt with the snccr that 10 critIclse these
methods of Interior Reform" is TO defend
corruption. They kindly add the suggestion that
President Seelyc must have been misrcprcscntcd.
Mr. Schurz may well pray to be delivered
from such defence Before using the extracts
from President Scclyc's letters yesterday, we
trlcgraphed him for permission. Receiving late in
the evening message from the operator that it
was impossible to find DR.. Seelye that even
ing. We then ttegraphcd TO tie recipient of
one of the letters, who at once gave us the
leave rcqnircd Yesterday we received Pres
idcnt Seelye's own bclatcd answer, which we
prin; for the instruction of Mr.. Schurz's fool
friends:

sympathze with the frank language in which

Mr. Vcnry A. Homes. librarian Of the State Ii
brary ut Albany has made an interesting report to
the trustees Of the institution, mainly upon ITS future
DEVELOPMENT. The document contains much vaiu-
able matter respecting Ahc increase of Libraries IN
the United States, which Mr.. Homes sets down as
"astonishlngv In the year 1900 there were but
fortynine Libraries in the United States, containing
an aggregate of $4,000 volumes There are now in
tine country 1852 libraries and of these, 22iO have
been organized sincelSJ0. All the Libraries contain
10 600, 900 volumes, not counting those in common
and sunday schools The public Libraries Of the state
OF New-York G27) OF more than 300 volumes each,
contain IN all more than 100000 volumes, OF
which 600. 900 may be found in the City Of New
York alone. One topic of great interest which Mr..
Homes discusses il that of the uses and definition
to be made Of that large portion of the new Capitol
which has been devoted to the general library only,
and especially to the necessity Of compact storage.
Theenarmous increase Of books in every wei, endowed
and we'll cared for library is very embarrassing,
especially in the distance which must be travelled
in the quest Of particular volumes. Mr.. Homes
strongly favors the setting off and enclosing of one
portion OF the library hall as reading-rooin This
is especially necessary because in our climatic 1t IL
difficult to heat large hall that 1t will be COM
Portable for readers. But if made warm enough for
these there is great danger that the upper stores OF
the galleries will be so extremely hot that the
bindings will be ruined surely as they are by
gas We are sorry to notice that Mr.. Homes thinks
that further special legislation will be necessary to
protect this and other Libraries in the State from
the mutilation and theft of books. We are sur
priscd to learn that at present there are no prohibit
tons and penalties to deter wrong-doers in these
particulars Mr. Homes has given us a very inter
csting pamphlet, and its suggestions will doubtless
be acted upon. more or less, by the trustees

The various committees interested in the
reorganization of the Ncw-Jcrsey Central Rail
road meet to-day to consider a scheme of re-
organization, which has been unanimously ap-
proved by meeting of stockholders. The
details of the plan are given Oh another page.
The destruction of EupatoIia, a Crinean
port, remote from the scene of h0sulties. is a
wmton act, for which the Porte will nav
dearly when the day Of settlement arrives.
1t is probable that the affair will impcl Russia
TO demand the surrender OF the Ottoman feet,
which is standing menace to the safety of
her Black Sea ports.
If Governor Bishop, of Ohio, supposed that
his first Executive Message was going to make
him the next President of the United States,
he may now rest assured that he Is entirely
out of danger. Ii is a document which says
nothing apparently because the speaker has
nothing to say. The promising Presidential
candidate, in Ohio, needs to have plenty OF
"vews."
Mr.. Willis is to have luxurious time as an
investigator. Secretary Thompson, who is on
the most amiablc terms with Mr.. Willis, offers
him the Inequalities Of the Department which
he is to investigate, and he will be duly in
stalled forthwith in rooms in the Navy De-
partment. If this example is generally fol-
lowed, it will become necessary to recognize

A FAIR PRCPosTIoN.-We give place to
an article copied from the Olympia Courier,
in which it is set forth that the republican
central committee will place in nomination
the three supreme court judges as delegates
at large to the constitutional convention, and
allow the democratic committee to name the
candidates for the three judicia! districts.
This proposition seems to be fair, and if car,
red out will ensure the election of at least
six members respectable on the score of
ability. The democrats may reasonably cal
culate upon carrying four ont of the five
council districts. Should this arrangement
be carried out, the convention will most
likely stand seven democrats and eight re-
publicans. The old story of the electoral
commission.

card it with disfavor for the same reason;

RUSHING THINGs.-Just now the Sound
country is in desperate hurry to frame a

PLANTATION of this hurry is to be found in the
fact that the Eastern counties are gaining IN

two the Eastern counties promises to out.
number the clam counties, and if the forma-
ton of the state is delayed to that time,
