The permanent value of popular libraries and
newspaper Glcs depends upon the skill of tho
indcx-nakcr. If the patrons of circulating library
are restricted in their choice of reading to hundred
of the newest hooks arranged n counter, and
have no means of examining the treasures locked
up in the thousand aud one shelves of rhc literary
storchousc, they will turn their advantages to
little account. IT, however, the titles and topics
are brought together by an intelligent index
maker in class divisions precisely ~ the books
themselves would be logically distributed on the
shelves and if this topical classification be inter
woven with general alphabetical arrange
mcnt of direct titles and crosS-rcicrenccs,
those patrons can make an intelligent choice Of ma
tciials a. all the available sources of Information
are placed az their command Such an index rs Mr..
Noyes has compiled III Brooklyn ayerts not only
one but every public library of the same class into
a convenient literary workshop. 1t gives prriaa-
nent value to popular collection of books. Ia like
manner the files of newspaper can be- utilized.

The long trial ends, thanks to a very IN

to American courts than was by many expected.
The impression has been growing for some
time that the jury might disagree. Public
disgust at the conduct of the prisoner has
been intensified by the fear that he might
thus escape the just penalty of his crime. But
it is plain that he disguised the jury as well as
the public.

THE NEW APPORTIONMENT.

The Apportionment bill, which is one OF tho
most important measures to come before the
present Congress, and must be acted upon be"
fore the end of the session, has been framed IN
part by the Census Committee of the House. 1t
is said to be the intention of the Committee
to leave the main point of dispute-that OF
how many members the House shall con-
sist during the next decade alto
gethcr open, the place for the figures
being blank in the bill Perhaps this is just
as well. for whatever decision the committee
might come to upon the question, the House
wonld only regard it as recommendation. a
number of propositions will no doubt be OF
fcrcd and voted upon. Apparently the pref
ereuce of the majority is Tor 3l9 as the
total OF the membership - an increase
of twcnty-siX over the present number II tins
figure is adopted, the States OF Maine, Yer
mont. Rhode Island, Florida and California
will lose one member each. In case the Leg
islature of any State gaining or losing one or
more members fails to make a reapporlon-
ment of its districts before the next election,
the bill provides that its Representatives shall
be chosen AT such election on general ticket.
Probably the number which seems TO be
already selected by the general sentiment OF
the House is the best that could be named. IL
made so large as to save all the States from Il
loss of representation, it would create House OF
cumbersome size, which could not becOmlortably
accommodated in the hall. If the present
membership were not increased, so many States
would lose a portion of their representation
that the passage of the bill would be Il task
of much difficulty. The fact that Vermont
and Rhode Island lose a member apiece
if the total is fixed mt 3l9 is not
strange, for they are small territorially that
they have little capacity for growth. 1t Is,
however, little surprising that Maine is to
fall behind and still more so that sparscly
pe0plcd Florida, which has been cndeavOring
to attract immigrants for ten years, should
lose one of her two members, and still more
astonishing that the great rich, new State of
California, with capacities for supporting
treble her present population, should appear
in the same list

A switchman's carelessness caused COLI
sion on the elevated railroad at South Ferry
yesterday, which injured one passenger and
wrecked an engine and two cars. The elevated
lines have thus far had wonderful luck in
their accidents, but the accidents keep on oc-
curing two or three times year, and pas
sengers may well ask how long this luck can
be expected To last.

Gambctta has resigned. There was no other
course open to him after the defeat OF the
project of the .Scrutin de Liste, which he has
urged with 40 much persistence and wlliul-
ness. Yesterday his pet measure was rejected
by the very heavy majority of 3O5 to / l.
He did not hesitate an hour to place his reslg-
nation and that of his entire Ministry In the
hands of President Grevy. Whatever may be
thought of his course by his partisans or by
his enemies in France the calm Judgment OF
the friends of republican institutions IN other
countries will be that it was headstrong and
unwiSe. A sagacous political leader does not
cxpcct always to sway public opinion. He
shapcs il and directs it if he can, but II he
finds it too strong to be changed he falls in
with it for, after all. the people have the right
to rule, and the will of the many should pre-
vail over the will of one man, great statesman
and patriot though he may be. Gambctta led
his horse TO the water, but could not make
him drink, so he drops the bride in dis
gust. The Deputies did not like his Scrutm de
Listc and refused to adopt it, but that was no
good reason for his abandoning post which
he was the best man in France to fill, and i'll
which he had great opportunities for serving
and strengthening the principles OF representa-
tive government. He is still the most power
ful of French leaders, however, in spite OF
this mistake, and he will not long be permitted
to remain apart from the direction OF affairs.

The London papers RIM lar ahead OF the
facts in their effort to make 1t appear that the
outrageous incidents of the Guteau trial have
thrown blot upon American jurisprudence, ana
show the necessity of recasting our forms OF
procedure in criminal matters. The Guiteau
case was purely eXccptiOnal-a monstrosity, IN
fact-like the wretch who was It's central Zig
ure. There was never anything like 1t before
there probably never will be anything like 1t
again. Our forms of criminal procedure are
closely modelled upon the English forms and
onr important criminal trials are as rule
conducted with thcdccOrum and dignity observed
thr English courts. 1t is mamfcstly unjust to
cast wholesale blame upon all our courts be-
cause of the irregular and Scandal0us scenes
in single tribunal, with jurisdiction limited
10 single city, and having no connection
with our State judiciary system. Besides, 1t Is
bv no means certain that the impudcncc, abuse
and basphemy of Guitcau could have been
successfully restrained, if the attempt had
been made, without impairiaS the val
jdity of the verdict At all events, the
Judge and District Attorney agreed it was best
not to try gagging him, which was the only
method of curbing his vicious tongue, and
they may perhaps fairly claim that the result
instifcd their course. Now that a inst YER
dict has been rendered, we may dismiss the
trial to the limbo of the curious, the excep-
tiOnal and the monstrous-a thing never to be
paralleled, we may hope in this or any other
civilized country.

The men who supervise emigration at this
mort seem to have looked with admiration upon
the salabbles which have so long disgraced
the Park Board, and are making a strong ef-
fort to rival this latter body The Mayor who
does not usually meet with the Emigration
Commissioners, was shocked yesterday at the
unseemy conduct of his colleagues, and prob
ably will not feel inclined to repeat hls visit
10 Castle Garden. He tried repeatedly, but III
vain, to bring about harmony in the Board The
meeting broke up i'll the widest confusion,
and the presence of Mayor Grace seems to
have been all that restrained the excited Com
missioners from shaping each others faces.
Mr.. William L. Robinson seems TO look
upon himself as the representative in Con-
press of AN imaginary Irish Republic. All his
talk is about Ireland and Irish grievances.
Perhaps il would be well for his constituents
TO remind him now and then that he is The

excuse of Mr.. RobinsOn's fOTgetfulness of his

singers to sing in time, and of supple
menting the occasional weakness of
the human throat. They appeal to the
example of the Jews, who used trum-
pets, instruments of seven strings"
and harps in the temple service, and OF
King DAVID himself, who was an emf
nent harp player. 1t must be confessed
that this latter argument has little
weight with the anti-organ Presbyte-
rians, who reply that King DAvID's
example, if followed in all matters,
would lead to very unsatisfactory re-
suits, and that if DAVID played the
harp 80 badly that SAUL in moment
OF evaporation compelled him to stop
by throwing javelin at him, the royal
harpist cannot be quoted as authority
in church music. The only really
strong ground taken by the pro-organ
party is that the organ is no more i'm
moral than pitch-pipe, and that mas
much as the anti-organists Use the lat
ter in public worship they cannot con-
sistentIy find fault with the former.
What will be the final decision as to
orgaus cannot be predicted with GER
tainty, but it seems only too probable
that the organ question will rend the
United Presbyterians into at least two
more Presbyterian sects, and that 1t
may before long be resolved into It's
original elements of Reformed, Asso-
cia,e. and Associate Reformed Pre56y-
