POSSIBLE LITERARY LOSS.

The fate of great many valuable art,
scientific and literary collections has been
to be scattered just about the time the
labor of grouping them has been accom-
plished. This impends now over the Ban
croft Pacific Library of San Francisco. 1t
ought to be averted. The collection of
books and MSS. relates to all known his
tory OF the Pacific States of the Americas,
and is unquestionably the most extensive
and exhaustive historical collection relat-
ing to the western worlds ever made Nor
is it possible that it could, once scattered,
be again gathered together. Mr. Bancroft
has been engaged about twenty years in
collecting the books and MSS, and in that
work has drawn from all known sources in
the world. Duplication of the library is
impossible, for only in small minority of
cases are there in the collection works
elsewhere obtainable Perhaps the MSS.
are the most valuable part of the entire
collection. What gives this library of
10000 numbers enhanced value is the
elaborate system of indexing that has been
evolved by its use in the preparation of the
Bancroft histories. 1t is so exhaustive and
detailed, that any given line or particular
expression Of authority on any subdivision
OF subject may be almost instantly discov-
cred. Mr.. Bancroft is about to complete
the great labor of his life-the preparation
OF the history of the Pacific States of
America, and at its close will not have
further use for the collection. He feels
that he must dispose of it, and will do so.
The question is, Shall we permit it to be
taken from the COAST" If it is exposed
for. sale at some great literary or CONNER
cial center, it will be subdivided, and to
State, Congressional, British, German

EDWARDS.

Weber, one of the Socialists of Chicago
who is under arrest, testifies that it can
not he known who threw the bomb that
killed the three policemen and wounded
fifty citizens. The reason is that the
bomb-thrower was selected by secret lot,
and no man except the actual murderer
knows who drew the black ballot. There
were nineteen others who should have
thrown bombs, but only one kept his word.
However Weber thinks they were ready
enough to cast the missiles, but saw that
one had shed sufficient blood. Here We
have direct testimony of one of the muir
derers, as all were who participated in the
drawing, that the Socialists are cowardly
lot. They preach and pirate, but when it
comes to action they skulk behind the
assassin's cloak, and have not even such
small courage as is needed to trust them
selves to each other Weber's confession
ought to hang him.

WHAT quibbling! The District Attor-

do SO on information and belief. He saws

complaint. What sort of a lawyer is this :?
Does he not know that he has power to
ask magistrate to hold an " inquisition "

laid that crime is beliered to have been
committed? Does he not know that, on
such inquisition being held, the magistrate
will issue his warrant for arrest of the
