The Librarian of fine State Historical

The Librarian of the State Historical
Society has lately issued circular, call
ing attention to the greatneed in which
the Society stands of building suitable
Tor Its requirments. According to this
document, the Society, when it
moved into its present quarters in the
state capitol in 1866, had q 600 volumes
andphamphletS, thisnumber has increas-
ed in the sixteen years intervening to "a, :
900. So great an increase has necessar-
lily resulted in greatly over crowding
the Historical rooms and prevents a
proper disposition of this great mass of
literature in such shape as to make it
convenient for reference and examina-
ton. The stream which in the past
years has flowed so steadily shows no
signs of abatement and each month
adds to the difficulties experienced by
the librarian and his assistants in find
ing room for even a superficial display
OF the new treasures. Asa consequence
something must be done. 1t is admit
ted by all critics that Wisconsin has the
best collection of historical documents
bearing on its early history, of any state
IN the union; the result of indefatigible
work on the part of friends of the So
ciety. The value of this collection is
almost incompatible, from the fact that
should it be once destroyed much of the
matter could never again be replaced. Its
newspaper files are especially valuable,
many OF these publications dating back
to the seventeenth and eighteenth GEN.
turtles. 1t is extremely probable that
petition will be presented to the legisla-
ture the coming winter asking that pro-
vision be made for the erection of fire
proof building, which shall be large
enough to furnish room for the society
during the next twenty-five or fifty
years. The movement has the support
of leading citizens in every portion of
the state and should be met in gener-
Gus spirit by the Lawmakers. OF the
necessity for such building there can
exist not even the mildest form of
doubt and the subject should be given
careful consideration during the time
intervening between now and the time
for meeting of the Legislature.

A question with which the County
Board will have to grapple at its coming
session is, what shall be done about the
hitching rail around the Courthouse
square. The subject is small one but
capable of producing heavy squalls in
the discussion of the pros and cons in
the case. 1t is case too in which the
city is directly interested, as the present
arrangement is one which the highest
sanitary authorities would hardly COM
mend. In dry weather the foulness and
stencil arising from the accumulations of
the past half century calls loudly for
reform, while during such rainy seasons
as has prevailed for the past two weeks
the general tilthiness is no less abomina-
BILE Should this rail be removed it is
possible the city would have to pur-
chase patch of ground aud provide
another place, further removed from the
center ofthe town, for hitching purposes.
However this may be it is time the sub
ject was given the attention it deserves.

The arrest of Parnell. The Irish agita-
tor was the cause of good deal of ex-
element recently in agitation circles
when the news became first noised
abroad. The arrest, however, was only
the result of the recent inflammatory
action of the prisoner and his followers.
For the past two years Mr.. Parncll has
received the sympathy and assistance
from the friends of freedom in every
cline, under the apprehension that he
was fighting the battles of landlord
ridden class who were ground down
under series of oppressive laws that
left them nothing but starvation as their
portion. The land law recently passed
does away with this oppression and plac-
es the Irish tenant on a plane higher even
than that occupied by his brothers in
the other portions of Great Britain, as
is witnessed by the agitation recently
started in England and Scotland to Sc
cure the passage of similar law in
those and other portions of the realm.
Recognizing that their work is done I'M
less they can find another subject for
agitation Mr.. Parnell and his lmmedi-
ate followers refuse to allow the land
law to go into peaceful operation. In
consistent as are all professional agita-
tors, having obtained the reforms asked
for they refuse to retire from the posi-
ton they have held so long and now
seem likely to suffer the consequences
Oppression will ever command the SYM
pathies of the world vanity never; and
rs consequence, despite the frantic as.
surances of the Redpaths and others OF
that ilk, the public will pay but little at
tention TO any woes these inconsistentS
may bring upon themselves in the
future.
