STATE LIBRARY.
II Contains 5000 Volumes and Ranks

It Contains 5000 Volumes and Ranks
Among the Best in the Union.
The report of the Trustees of the State
Library has just been issued from the office
of the State Printer. 1t is pamphlet of
twentyfour pages and contains interesting
information. In their letter to the Gov
ernor they say:
1t would lessen the amount of labor required
for the proper care and preservation of the con-
tents of the library il the driveway on the east
side of the Capitol could be sprinkled, or in
some manner improved, thereby securing
greater immunity from dust. The conforma-
ton of the rear OF the building makes the an
noyance from this source, during the dry season
of the year, very great
In regard to the character of the accessions
made we may now briefly speak. When max
ing selections, We have borne In mind those
topics wherein the library was deficient, and
have sought ID order with special reference TO
meeting the requirements OF q reference library
in a rapidly developing state.
Much attention has been given to agriculture
and kindred subjects. The number of volumes
in the educational, musical, and medical de-
partments has been largely augmented. Much
attention has been devoted TO the filling up and
completion of our sets of periodicals, and at
the same time our annual subscription list has
been materially enlarged. Our collection of the
publications known as "B0hn's Library" has
been made as complete as was practicable
ton OF State and county maps, and to insure
their preservation and 10 make them readily
accessible for reference, all have been mounted
on spring rollers and hung ON brackets. Each
is numbered and by this means can be found at
once, after referring to the alphabetical index
which has been made of them.
The growth of the Law Department has con-
tinued steady and uniform. When outstanding
orders have been filed, we think we can safely
say that it will not suffer from comparison with
any in our country.
THE LIBRARIANS REPORT.
III his report the State Librarian says:
The Secretary of State, in his report dated
July J, s., assumes without foundation, that
this library sis well stocked with books; and,
laboriDg under this mistake, recommends that
the law be changed so as TO permit the appliea-
ton OF a portion of the library fund to be used
for beaulitying the State grounds. While it is
true, as stated, that the library book register
shows upward of 6900J Volumes it must not be
forgotten that III this number are included the
many thousand volumes of United States and
State documents and books of the Law Depart
ment The value of these is limited to special
fields, and when due allowance is made it will
be readily perceived that we have much to ac-
qulre before we can consider the library ''well
stocked and worthy to rank among the best OF
our country. The fact will be made more evil
dent perhaps, by an examination of the follow.

England's Use For an Irishman

The following extract from speech
delivered at llaverstraw, \. Y, October
Is, by the Hon. Thomas II. Dudley, of
New Jersey, is of significant interest in
connection with the discussion over the
disputed quotation from the London
Times. Mr., Dudley said
Whilst residing in England | was at a
dinner at the Reform Club in London John
Bright, William T.. Forster, William Evans
and a number of others being present.
During the evening Ireland and the Irish
people came up for discussion. There was
much said to their disparagement. The Eng
lish people are generally very severe in their
criticism and unsparing in their denuncia-
tons of the Irish as class. As rule they
regard themselves as superior in race. An
freshman is always put down as inferior TO an
Englishman. On this occasion, as thew

REPUBLICAN, NOMINATIONS
Entirely Unnecessary

The proprietors Of the Voice, the Third
Party organ in New York, take pains to

dict the report that they had joined a
Cleveland and Thurman Club. This would
seem entirely unnecessary, for it would
tend very much 10 destroy their mis-
chievous influence 10 openly ayow them
selves favorable to the Democratic can
didates. By operating under a mask, and
indirectly, they are able to make their
paper much more effective for Cleveland.
1t Ia very apparent to sensible persons who
have watched the course OF Funk and
his immediate associates, that they make
a speciality Of their enmity to the Repub-
liean party. and are Iaboring for the sue
cess Of Cleveland and his Free Trade
policy In the name Of Temperance they
have drawn large sum Of money from
the friend OF the cause, and how much
from Democratic sources the public can
not tell The Cleveland leaders know u Q
value Of the Voice to keep up division
