MINNEAPOLIS ADJUSTMENTS.

Those talented artists, Louis James
and Marie Wainwright, presented W.. S.
Gilbert's ''Gretchen," a version of Faust
and Marguerite, by the way, at the
Grand opera house last night to fash
ionable audience. This, their second
performance as stars, was received with
the same enthusiasm by the audience
that marked their appearance in ''Vir-
ginius' the night befbre. Gretchen"
has been reviewed in the GLOBE; suf-
fee it that Miss Wainwright is an ideal
Marguerite. Tonight "Othello'' will
be presented, with Mr.. James as the
Moor, Miss Wainwright as Desdemona.

A PUBLIC LIBRARY.

The discussion regarding a public
library has at last turned in the right
direction. 1t is useless to wait for some
one of st. Paul's many millionaires to
come forward and present the city with
library building. 1t is quite apparent
that every one of them has other and
less philanthropic uses for his money.
Whatever is done in the matter the city
must do itself. That point is definitely
decided.
Nor is there any doubt about the need
and desirability of library. 1t is some
thing that belongs to the people gener-
ally, and of which they have especial
need. The rich man can buy all the
current magazines, purchase every one
of the desirable new books and never
feel the outlay. The poor man, even
the man in moderate circumstances.
must be content with an odd volume
now and then, or must perhaps deny
himself altogether what with the null
titudinous other demands is virtually a
luxury, but which could so easily be
made an everyday comfort within the
reach of all.
The public library admirably supple
ments the work of the public schools.
1t is the peoples university, and the ar
guments which obtain in favor OF the
community supporting the schools can
be adduced with equal strength regard
ing public support Of library. Nor
should one be established on a limited
scale. 1t should not be cramped for
room or for revenue. A building, archl-
tecturally beautiful, should be espe-
cially erected, and the volumes to be
stored in it should be selected with the
greatest care and incest diScrimina-
ton. Every citizen, rich or poor, student
or workman, should be able to find in it
the means to crafty his intellectual
wants. In a word, it should be a COM
plete public library.
AS to the means of providing for its
establishment, the most obvious method
would seem to be an addition to the tax
levy. The amount needed, say $500, 900,
could be secured in this way by such a
slight increase to the levy that to the
rich it would be immaterial, and to those
whose tax bills are light, quite Insight
ficant.
But if it should be deemed unwise to
raise the entire amount by direct taxa
ton, there is no reason why bonds
should not be issued, to run for an eX-
tended term of years, to an amount
sufficient to cover the whole cost. The
library is for posterity as well as for the
present generation, and it is fair enough
that those who are to come after us
should pay something for the benefit
which the establishment now of a
library would confer upon them. The
interest charges and the money needed
annually to maintain the library
could be paid with no appreciate in
crease in the rate OF taxation.
One of these two methods must
eventually be adopted, for the people
want the library, and are bound to have
it. We believe there is no other pur-
pose for which the people would so
readily submit to be taxed, if direct
taxation is necessary. 1t is not at all to
st. Paul's credit that library adequate
to meet the demands made upon it was
not provided long ago.

IT'S ONLY A RUMOR.
Editor Hunt Is Shaky on McGill,
but Declares He Hasn't Decided
to Support Merriam.

W UPEOAc AfAOAA AeSAAAs
The GLOBES anxiety for the Repub-
lican candidate for governor is not cal
culated to impress the Republican cleo
tors with an unusual amount of conf
dence in its honesty of purpose. One
thing is certain, and that is, as the
GLOBE says, the Free Press takes but
little stock in its remarks. AS for this
paper being against McGill and in favor
of Merriam it is simply rumor. Nothing
more nor less. However, if as indicated
in Sundays GLOBE, the friends of Mr..
Nc Gill desire to drive the editor of this
paper from the support of the present
governor they are notified that they
have struck exactly the right course to
make such result possible. Hunt has
not entered any combination and he
will, not. But he proposes to exercise
his individual convictions and occasion
may present itself when he will speak
his mind freely. Personal abuse and
covert insinuations will not win him to
support any candidate, howsoever
friendly past relations may have been,
and the aid of Democratic organs to
heap abuse upon his head will not held
those who are inStigating it.
