!" APPROACH AND READ"

Some time ago there was talk of form
ing public library in the city, and using
as the basis for it, the Masonic library.
The plan proposed was to have an incor.
poration for the purpose, and open sub
scription books so that all who were in
terested in the matter might subscribe
in such amounts as each chose. Nothing
seems to have been done to carry out
the scheme, and it has not been dropped
we hope, for it was and is too important
a thing to the general and reading pub
lie to be allowed to rest.
The proposition to use the Masonic
Library as nucleus was made on the
ground that that institution has some
thousands of miscellaneous volumes con-
sisting of f ID, avel, biography, his
tory, scienti q works, works of reference,
etc, indepeno el OF The special works
from which the library derives its name.
1t has been very propc ly asked, why the
Masonic Library ano OF another as a
nucleus? The answer Is simple and the
only one, it is because IL re is no other
to be had, the T--rlJonh Library
being public one an under the control
of the Territory, cannot 70 had, while
the Masonic Library can pe. Further,

the Masonic Library contains books
which must be in any library, and does
away with the necessity of making a
selection for start, and this selection for
start is a greater labor than it may at
first blush SEEM Also, where will be
found any one who has the time and
talent necessary to do this preliminary
work which has already been well done
by Mr.. Diehl?
The Masonic Library has now assumed
size and character beyond what was in
tended by those who founded it. Its
character was special and it has become
general; it was for the use of the Masonic
fraternity, and the public has almost
crowded the fraternity out, and for these
reasons, We understand, the Grand Lodge
is willing to dispose of the miscellaneous
part of the library, the part in which the
general public is most interested.
Are there any advantages in purchasing
this library? Yes. What are they +?
They are these: The books are
already here, and would not have
to be sent for. The public is already
familiar with the library and and its char
acter and worth, and these things would
be voucher for its future usefulness and
worth as it grew.
That such a library as the one contem-
plated is needed, is admitted by all. And
why cannot we have it? There are hun
dreds and hundreds of works that NAV
not be called for once a year, and are still
most essential, and particularly to speci-
alists, in all libraries. Certainly, there
ought to be complete lists of all standard
works, In the various walks of literature,
by American and English authors. To
illustrate this: some years ago we had a
desire TO read Clarissa Harlowe unab-
ridged, the whole eight volumes, but
Richardson's works were not to be found,
and the booksellers said they did not
know of such novelist. Toget the work,
1t was necessary to send to New York
bibliophiles.
A public library is a necessity and
luxury, and being so rare combination
OF such extremes let us by all means
have one; the cry is general, and the pub
lie is willing to pay for first class public
library.

The Tribune of this morning has a
short editorial on Ocean commerce. 1t
says, among other things, that the cost
OF Clyde built steamers is so slightly less
than American built steamers, that a
few years ago the agent of an American
company preferred to have a couple of
steamers for the San Francisco and
Honolulu trade built by an American
firm. Pray, then, why do our ship
builders need such great and paternal
protection? Certainly as a nation we are
not in swaddling clothes. After all, it is
the carrying trade that is the thing that
needs encouragement not protection, and
not our shipbuilders.

sULLIvAS's SENSATION.
Msckin and Two More witnesses Arrested
FOR Perjury.

CHICAGO, Feb. l7.-Sullivsn went upon
the witness stand IN the Federal Court this
morning and rshssrsed the story told in
his affidavit OF his subOrnstion hy Msckin
to commit perjury. The revelation evil
IDENTIFY created a sensation in the jury box.
Members Of the jury being closely guarded
and not allowed to read the papers, this was
the FIRST intimalion they had Of what wes
coming.
The confession OF J. j. Sullivan, witness
for the defense in the Mackin case, is 10 the
effect that for four silver dollars and the
promise of place in the Government print
ing Office in Washington he committed per-
jury, and that the testimony he gave last
wee was en- tirely at Mackin' dictstiou. Ii
has produced the greatest CONSERVATION
among the parties implicated. o Brien, the
man who is alleged 10 have acted as the 60
between for Msckin and Sullivan and who
hrst brOsched Mackin's scheme to the latter
was arrested this morning, and warrants
have also been issued for the arrest OF Sit
msn and Simmons, two other Of Msckin's
witnesses.
sitman is owner OF the presses on which
SulliYan swore he printed the bogus tickets,
on the night OF November 3; was also ar
rested and confessed be also sHore falsely in
saying be rented the presses TO Sullivan on
that occasion; that w. j. Gallagher, one
of the defendants, approached him on the
subject about three weeks ago, and that il
vas subsequently arranged between himself,
Gallagher and Mackin that he should give
this false evidence.
Tilman was put upon the stand this after
noon and swore to su ubstantisny the above
lscis, Io-day'e revelations have created q
decided sensation, as they break down the
entire theory Of the defense sud leave dam
aging testimony Of the prosecution contra
dicted, except by Msckin, the principal de-
fendant, who testified this afternoon thet he
did not hire Sullivan to commit perjury.
