THE PUBLIc ~LIBRARY.
a U.efuI Institution worthy of Genera
Patronage.

a meeting of the trustees OF the Library
Association was held last Thursday night
at the library in the Court House. Mrs.
Judge Knowles presided in the chair. Va
rious subjects concerning the welfare OF the
library were discussed aud a COMMITTEES OF
ladies appointed to solicit memberships.
They are to call upon business men, n
large number of whom are unaware OF the
benefit this institution is to a community
and the good work it is doing. Wbes.
brought to their attention, the trustees
thought, a great many will be glad to coi:-
tribute fthe ..snall amount OF So, which
an annual membership costs. ALI that was
needed, it is hrged, is tic introduce tbeesub-
iect TO public notice. and business men es-
pecially will be glad to sustain an institu-
ton with such an excellent object In view-
As it is now, large numbers OF young men
and boys congregate there afternoons and
evening during the hours the library is
kept open and spend the time IN profitable
amusement.
There has been a great want felt among
minars ard others for technical works OF
which there is not "A ropy IN the library.
The trustees resolved that they will send
at once for a number OF such works in
recognition of this demand, and thus afford
the seekers information on a variety OF
subjects.
The trustees hope that the public will
recognize the importance OF sustaining the
institution as it deserves as it is a most
valuable adjunct in raising the standard OF
intelligence. It affords a resort for young
and old with idle time on their hands where
they can, amid pleasant surroundings
give the mind recreation besides providing
means for self-improvement not obtalna-
bic by individuals. Its location IN the
second floor OF the Court House is conven-
lent of access and it should be patronized
nv everyone.

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that the
billions Congers' seat is occupied by the
Michigan lumber king, Stockbridge, he
still fingers about the Hobbies of WASH
ington, and like Woolsey, contemplates
with jaundiced eye the melancholy end
of all greatness. He belongs to a genera
ton of public men, some of whom have sur
yiyed their usefulness. But Conger is
not CT these. He is a bright brainy man
who might yet serve his party were he OF
that philosophical temperament that
could survive Il defeat. His disposition
is soured, and he has not the resolution
and the tact to accomplish through the
arts of political diplomacy what he failed
to accomplish by a policy Of bulidozing
a Legislature which was susceptible to
the beguilements of a millionaires money
bags. Conger could yet be a power in
his party if he could forget the fact that
he had once been a dictator for a great

UNDER the head of Highly Important
Information" the New York Sun is in
spired to impart the idea that MZ
Blaine's last act before stepping aboard
the steamer bound for home will be TO
indict a cable message to his machine
managers at home renewing finally and
absolutely his declination. This might
come under the old Greeley classification
OF important If True" 1t is safe to as
sumo from the fact that Blaine is to be
in mid ocean inst as the convention is in
session, that he will write and send no
such message. The signs in the politi-
cal zodiac all indicate, on the contrary,
that Mr.. Blaine has other wires to work
than the cable. They may now be in
visible to the naked eye, but they are
seen in shadowy outline on the poll
teal landscape. He is an adept in all OF
che arts Of political diplomacy, as will
more clearly appear in the leafy month
OF June. The death Of his most inyeter-
ate and implacable enemy has undoubt-
eddy inspired new hopes in his heart.
The general drift of expressed Republi-
can sentiment in State conventions so
Ear had could but stimulate his natural
impulses to again try conclusions with
Cleveland before the country, with the
capital prize of the Presidency in sight
to lure him on. There are allurements
about the White House for a man Of his
yaulting ambition which are well nigh
irresistible. Do not doubt for a moment
but that Blaine is a candidate for the
Presidency, Notwithstanding his too pre-
vious letter Of declination. Wait and
ace.

WEDNESDAY OF this week, we are adj
vised by Conductor Nelson Bennett, day
light will be let through the Cascade
tunnel, and he guarantees that there will
be no collapse Of the big bore. Trains
will be running through this six thou
sand foot tunnel by May 20, we fear be-
fore they will be able to resume running
through the one at Mullan. The Messrs.
Muir, who built the Mullan tunnel, al
ways claimed that masonry should have
been used In place Of the timbers that
are all ablaze with such disastrous
consequences, but they did not have the
authority Of the engineers to go to that
extra expense. Tunnels to be absolutely
safe should be walled and arched with
masonry. In the long run such work
would be economy.

OUR Washington correspondent gives
a good account Of the work that is be-
ing done by Delegate TOole for his con-
stituency. Msior Naginnis, in an indie
pendent interview, also pays MIR. TOole
the tribute of active and effective work.
The evidence is cumulative that this
great Territory is admirably represented
at the National Capital, but the express
sions of regret that he will not make the
race for the third term are deep and
profound. The party has All abundance
of good men to put forward to take Mr..
ToOle's task upon their shoulders. The
fact is, the party is embarrassed in its
choice from the many who may be selected
from. But as it has not made any mis-
takes in the past, it may be relied upon
to. meet the emergency that confronts it
An the selection of a standard bearer.
