THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS.
LEY TELEGRAPH 10 TIE rRIBUNE.l


WASHINGTON. Dec 1.-the House devoted the
whole day to the bill for a new building for the
Library of Congress- and the adjournment, late
this afternoon left the fate of the measure still in
doubt Several excellent speeches were made In
favor of the bill, by Democrats as well as Republi-
cans One of the speeches-that of Mr.. Reed. OF
Maine-was notably good and elected applause
from members on both sides, Among those
who spoke IN opposition was the antqnated
Mr. McLane, of Maryland. who expressed some
opinions which ought to entite his name to place
In history beside that of Omar the lcarian. Mr.
McLaue is opposed to a National library at all but
If there must be he insists that 1t ought not to
be at the National capital, but somewhere else
perhaps in Baltimore. portion of which city Alr.
McLane represents. He also declared with great
emphasis that at least one-half Of the books in the
library ought TO be destroyed. and that all the PAM
phlets ought to share the same fate.
The economical Mr. Holman, Of In
diana supported an amendment to limit
the entire cost of the new building TO 50 600, 900;
and this proposition, after some discussion, was
adopted. Then it was proposed that the site for the
building should be one Of the Government reserya-
tions 10 OF which is less than a halt mile dis
tant from the Capitol. A motion to recommit the
bill with these instructions at last carried, but
before it could be clinched by the adoption Of
journment took place.
The final vote will be taken tomorrow morn
ing. by which time the friends of the bill
hope 10 be able 70 muster strength
enough 10 prevent a recOmmttal and pass the
measure 1he prospect of success IS not very good.
Every member who wants public building at
some little hamlet-llke Oxford, Miss, with IT'S
q 600 or 5000 inhabitants-thnks II piece OF
terrible extravaganza TO appropriate money for "a
building TO shelter the greatest library on the con-
tinent when such an appropriation wlil benefit no
Congressman's deestrIck." There are good
many congressman, too, whose literary tastes are
entirely satisfied by the reading of an occasional
newspaper and The Congressional Record. Such
men honestly cannot see that Libraries Of any
use 10 anybody. They will vote for any PROPOSE
ton which tends to embarrass or defeat the bill
The proposition to put the building on Govern
ment reservation is specimen OF the wastefnl
economy 60 which congressman are prone: IL VIII
soon become necessary for the people OF Washing
10 take stand with regard to entertainments upon
the public squares such as has been taken in New
York The new Pension building is 10 cover a CON
siderable part Of Of the large squaIes-Jq-
dIciary-and the process Of voting them away bids
fair 10 be only too rapid.
