Some exchange" which the
Hastings Journal copies from and
leads giving it the prominence of an
editorial, states that "the Government
is not burdened by single gold OBJ
legation" 1t is passing strange that
Michigan journalist can expect to
make sane people believe any such
trash. Every prominent business
man, every man who reads, and
almost every one who does not, knows
that every outstanding dollar of the
National debt is only payable in gold
and that for the purpose of paying
the National debt, the standard silver
dollar is as valueless as though it was

NEW YORK LETTER.
From our own Correspondent.

From our own Correspondent.
The meeting of the Republican
National committee at Washington on
Wednesday last, was the principal
political event OF the week and
caused a general exodus of poiti
clans to the capitol city. Its effect
however is very slight. 1t led to free
exchange of views among the mem.
bers, but it practically makes no
change in the mode of representation.
The letter of resignation of Stephen
w. Dorsey from the committee how
ever, though expected, came unex-
pectedly, and the language in which
it was couched will give the D.mo-
Gratis a powerful handle. When bs
says: "from the very nature of the
circumstances l was forced to do
many things upon my own RESPONSE
bility and yet in that entire campaign
nothing was done by me that was
not most heartily sanctioned by
Generals Garfield and Arthur" he
puts the President into an awkward
position in which silence will proba-
bly, be the golden policy.
have it on the best authority that
the President has at last decided not
to make any change in the Custom
House or Post Office for the present.
Collector Robertson's term ends in
the early summer. and if the Presi-
dent should then desire to appoint a
successor to him, he can do so grace
fully. The fact, however, that the
party is committed to civil service
reform makes both his and Postmas-
ter Parsons removal improper un.
der any circumstances. Even Mr..
Robertson's enemies must admit that
we have never had so good Col
lector as he. The revenue from the
Custom House under his administra-
ton has increased enormously, and
the office is managed in way pre-.
cisely similar to the Post Office, which
has always been model department
under Mr.. James's and Mr.. Parsons
administration.
The Republicans in the Legsla-
ture at Albany, have decided upon
no plan of action. They are deter
to wait and see how things run. The
impression is general that they will
not have to wait long, Governor
Cleveland is fast losing caste with
his own party. Then there will be
quarrel and then the party may 60 in

Our sister city, Brooklyn, is at
present actively engaged in seeking
solution of the Rapid Transit
problem which is growing to be a
very important question. An Eleva

bridge with the more distant parts of

experience New York has had and is
still having with her elevated roads,
it is quite natural that the authorities

The Detroit Evening News in its
able editorial on the Senatorial ques-
ton, last Saturday, fell into the error

ours in the recess of the legislature,
and can then only commission until
the election of a Senator by the Leg
islature, or in case the Legislature
should fail to elect until the last day
of next session of the Legislature.
Hence, if no person should be cleo
ted Senator by the Legislature now
in session, a contingency not likely
to arise, the seat Of Senator Ferry
would be and remain vacant from
March 4th until a succeeding Legisla-
ture or this one in special session,
should elect.

are looking very carefully before they
leap. Mayor Low is at present con-
sidering several propositions. One
of them is that the city should own
all the rapid transit lines and lease
them to individuals or corporations
for operation. Mr.. Corbin, Of Man
haitian Beach fame, the President Of
the Long Island railroad, has sub.
mitted plan, the most prominent
feature Of which is that it acknowl
edges a p,7ma Jaefe right OF property
owners whose lands may suffer, to
lay claim to damages. The objection
to this project is the extreme diff
Guilty of properly apprasing and adj
justing the damages that will be
claimed. Several other schemes and
propositions are under consideration,
but these two are the leading ones.
Mayor Low, who is very active and
clear headed man, is devoting all his
spare time to this question, and he
seems determined not to be hustled
into decision by the urgent necessi-
ty of establishing some means of
quick transportation.
Investors and spectators who
placed large sums of money in the
hands of builders for the purpose of
erecting vast apartment houses, are
beginning to feel uneasy. A re-
aclion has set in in the universal de-
sire to live in them and should this
turn out to be more than a:momen
rary feeling, the crash which will
bring down large spectators will be
heavier than the awful real estate
collapse of some years ago. When
first these houses were started they
proved a good investment. People
were glad to have all their rooms on
one floor, TO have accommodations
and conveniences which they could
not enjoy IN l private house without
additional servants, ard to enjoy the
novelty of joining the comforts of
home with some Of the advantages Of
a hotel. Then everybody with money
to invest put ii in apartment houses
and speculative builders ran enor-
nous risks il building such caravan
saries by tens and twenties and in
one or two cases by fiftIes. But the
risk was crowned with success.
These houses were built to a height
Of five, six and seven stories, they
were furnished in the most elaborate
style, provided with every modern
convenience and given high sounding
attractive names. Apartment houses
became the fashion and the rents
asked and given were enormous.
The building of SO many Of them
however, brought rents down, but
even now money invested in them

Senatorial Elections.

On Wednesday of last week, Hon.
Preston B. Plumb was reelected Sen.
ator by the Republicans in the Kan
sas Legislature. He is what is known
as an anti.monopolist, a radical
friend of constitutional prohibition,
both state and national, and has
proved himself a vigllant, able and
influential Senator. His reelection
is therefore a national blessing, which
we are proud to record.
In West Virginia, on Wednesday
Of last week, the Legislature elected
Hon. John E. Kenna United States
Senator to succeed Senator Henry
G. Davis. Mr.. Kenna is present
member of the House from the sd
district and was re elected member
of the 4Sth Congress from the same
district. He is only IS years of age,
is a self-made man, Of decided ability
and hard money Democrat of the
old Benton school.
Hon. John r. Mcpherson was on
Wednesday of last week reelected
United States Senator by the Legisla-
ture of New Jersey. He is monopo-
list, one of the worst of the crowd,
was elected by the brute power OF
the Pennsylvania Central railroad
and though nominally Democrat, is
simply the tool of that gigantic cor
poration to do its bidding irrespec.
tive of any rights the people may
have. New Jersey will not always
consent to be thus represented in
the Senate of the United States.
In Texas on the a4th ult., Hon.
Richard Coke, Democrat, was re-
elected United States Senator. He
is one of the progressive men of the
age, has made good record in the
Senate; is in favor of the interests OF
the people against all rings. and we
note his reelection with pleasure.
Not that we endorse all his political
action, but Texas is a Democratic
state and they have a political right
to name the Senator, and they have
named a man of the people and for
the people.
On Saturday the Republicans OF
Colorado, elected Judge Thomas M.
Brown, of Rio Grande, as United
States Senator for the full term oil
six years from and after'March 4th.
Judge Brown is an able jurist, a man
well known for his business enter
prise, entirely outside of all rings, and
will make Senator worthy Of the
young and growing state he has the
honor to be elected to represent in

surface political matters are very
quiet in New Hampshire, but there
is said to be a good deal of interest
over the pending Senatorial contest
which comes up on the meeting OF

men in the Senate, men of principal,
to whose names not one dishonest
act has ever been charged. They are
serving on their first term and by all
party usage, by every conceivable
question of public policy they should
be reelected by the unanimous vote

Its Condition and Needs.

The ninth annual report of the Fletcher
Free Library written by the secretary, Rev
l.. G. Ware is an interesting document, wor-
thy of careful and thoughtful perusal. Ac-
cording 10 this, in all its departments, the
library is growing in size, and in the use of
the best books-though the trustees think
that it is not popularly estimated at its fu.l
value because it is not generally recognize!
how well proportional II library it is, and,
considering its limited means, how rich and
full. Mr.. Ware adds: None can.know 50
well as the trustees how balanced the libra.
ry is, on the whole, between department
and department, and how better than rospcc-
table, already in the few years since the
founding, is the place it occupies among the
Tree libraries OF the country The report
then goes on TO enumcratc the pressing needs
Of the library. First among these Is a prop
er building for Library purposcs-"a building
as convenient" says Mr.. Ware, "as our pres
ent one is, in many respects, unsuitable. In
no respect is its inconvenience more felt than
In the want OF rcading-roOm. where our
magazines and papers and our reference
books may he consulted in quiet" In the
second place, more funds are needed to re-
plenish the reference library and Mr. Ware
suggests an endowment of $4,000 or the
appropriation by the city authorities of n
stated sum annually. In other departments
OF the library more money is needed, but cs-
peclnlly III this department.
As to the work of the library. the only
new thing reported is a plan for making its
collection of books more useful in our public
schools. Baskets of books are sent to the
Primary and Intermediate schools Of the
best reading for girls and boys, which the
teachers then loan, keeping the proper ac-
count. These are circulated till they arc
read through, and then another basket is got
together by the teachers and librarian.
Thus, says the report, "instcad OF choosing
in blind way from the catalogue, or by
hearsiy from their mates, the children are
directed in plain way of good reading. Al.
ready some OF the teachers report healthy
readiness on the part of the scholars to read
what is thus ready to hand and set before
them with pleasant explanations as to what
the books are oil about"
The statistics of the library are rs follows
Whole number of books, $4,000 books held
in trust and duplicates, 1900; pamphlets,
23OOO; volumes added in 1889, G2G; peroli-
Gals taken, IS. During the year 1889 there
were 20d31 volumes delivered for home use,
OF which no less than IS 30S were works of
iiclion-a proportion altogether too large,
In conclusion we may add that the report
makes due acknowledgment of the gift of the
boiler for new heating apparatus of the libra
ny by that liberal and generous citizen who
is always foremost in every good work, Hen
