PUBLIC LIBRARY.

The growth of Richmond in the last
few years. in all that goes to make upa
populous and prosperous community,
has been most striking, not only TO the
stranger who occasionally visits our
CITY. and who. therefore, has an oppor-
tunity of observing clearly the grada-
tions Of its progress in his intervals OF
absence, but also to our own citizens
who spend the whole year here. There
are evidences on every hand of the In
creased volume of our trade and the
expansion of our population; and there
are many signs of the accumulation
of individual wealth We have under
construction one Of the handsomest
City Halls IN the South, and will soon
inaugurate one OF the most imposing
statues in America. Il is true that we
have not yet been able to carry out the
proposition to build new hotel, which
has so long been under agitation, but
that : ch a hotel will be built is only a
question of time. We have only to re-
call how many years elapsed before the
present Union depot was erected In
place of the shaDties that disfigured the
site which it occupies. Our forward
stems i'm some directions are slow, but
we have every reason TO believe that
they are sure.
There is one institution which
this city lacks, like nearly every
city of the South, and it is an in
stitution which would do more to adorn
its progress than all the statues that
could be erected, noble as are such
monuments to public service and viz
tue. This institution is public library.
The great libraries of the North, with
few exceptions, were founded by prl-
vate benefaction. As rule they
bear the names Of private Indi-
viduals. a., for instance, the Frank
lin in Philadelphia. the Bates in
Boston. the Astor in New York,
the Pratt in Baltimore, but after being
founded they are largely maintained
out Of the public purse. Owing to the
smallness of our private fortunes as
compared with those of the North, and
owing still more TO the greater import
ance of family in the South. our men OF
meaus have not been as much disposed
as those i'm the Northern States to leave
large sums for the establishment OF
public institutions There Will be
stronger inclination to do so in the fu'
ture under the changed condition of
things, than there was when the old
system prevailed.
Ii there should happen to be any one
of our Weather citizens who may be
turning over in his mind the thought
of leaving his fortune TO public charity
in order TO perpetrate his name-a noble
ambition which we trust is not confined
to one OK our citizens-let him direct 1t
10 be used, after his death, in the con-
struction Of library building. and the
collection OF "A valuable library OF
books. There car. DE no doubt that our
city would never permit such an insii-
tuition. once formed, TO decline for the
lack of an annual income to sustain and
extend it. The same cannot be said OF
apy other institution to which an estate
might be devised.

The Republican ma jority in the House
of Representative is so slim and the
report Of one Of the brethren's disaifec-
ton so scary TO the. star Chamber
committee Of the G. 0. F., that the ex-
ira session Of the new Congress, which
had been determined on, had to be- aban'
doned.
Still the boldcst OF the lead
ers have the idea that they
can manaclc the Democratic mi
nority, and begin by changing the
rules which Will leave the minority
helpless at their feet and powerless to
prevent. by " obstruction, " the passage
Of bill to put Federal elections in the
han is of Federal supervisors.
As we explained at the time the extra
session was reported. the plan would
enable the Republican rulers to mate
rialize their theory that negro ma
jorlty means a Republican majority
that should be counted whether voted
at tie polls or not; or. i'll other words,
elections could be decided in Washing
ton according to the census report doc
t)red by Republican managers to suit
Radical politics.
The North knows tina. the plan is one
of those diabolical tricks Of the Radi-
Gals that will be used in the South only,
and hence their Indifference to the ne
farious character OF the design.
Now. it Is true that the rules of the
House should he revised and corrected,
so that the single "objector" could not
block legislation. but whatever South
erners may hold in theory, they must
tremble mt the consequences Of the
practical illustration.
Il is true that arbitrary rules or Gus
toms have so far changed our system Of
Legislation from the design of the faith
ers. that at present the needs OF great
people, formulated in proposed acts of
Congress, when they come into the
House mast start into machine. one
end of which is closed by "veto and
the other by fllibuster, - whereby,
instead Of having the rule of the many
we nav be torn limb from limb by a
single crank " otiec.or at one end
and Radical party leader at the other
in the person of President like Ben.
Harrison
The House Of Representatives is about
a wear from the working will of the
people, because Of the period between
the election and the meeting of the
House. The Senate is still further off
from the popular mind. and the length
Of the Senatorial term leaves that body
quite free to work their own will with
but small responsibility in many re-
specls.
Under these conditions the House
should not be placed in the power Of
the crank obiector.'
But so arbitrary is the conduct Of the
Radicals towards the South, that it
would be impossible for its Representa-
tives to rely on any fairness if they
should depend upon any spirit of the
majority. That is why there will be a
fight for the rules.

In the midst of our extreme dl.gust
for the methods Of Malone. it is anus
ing to observe the inordinate vanity Of
she man. Nindictive. Inscriptions ana
tyrannical as he is. there Is something
highly ludicrous in his childish concelt
and assumption Of pre.emiuence. We
may search the whole extent OF Amer

that a single man mentioned there

toned coat. his baggy trousers. his
struggling beard, his puny form. his

-progress thither like the progress OF a
leader upon whom the hopes of whole
people depend. He delivers his stale
address with the demeanOr of a states
man whose slightest utterances VIII
echo to the furtherest confines OF the
Republic. His very vanity Is marked
by the crOOkedness that distinguishes
the character OF the man in every other
respect. Witness, for instance, bis in

that he looked to him Mahonel to be

There are few men who have less

When we think of him as a soldier,
we recall only the skulking figure OF
the battle of the Crater.
When we think Of him as a railroad
president, we recall only the incompe-
tent official who ended as a wrecke-.
When we think of him as apoliticlan,
we recall only the creator of the tissue

When we think Of him as the head of
a party, We recall only the tyrant VINO

When we think Of him as a Senator.
we recall only the place hunter and

LONDON, March 2i.--It is now adj
mitted by diplomats in Berlin that Prince
Bismarck's efforts to form an alliance
between Germany and England have
failed completely. Emperor William
was exceedingly desirous Of contracting
the alliance and it is understood that he
still has hopes of bringing it about. It
is this hope which has induced him to in
vite the Prince of Wales to visit Berlin.
1t is rumored the punishment that
has been inflicted upon Dr. Gallagher In
Chatham prison was not SO much due to
his infractions of the rules Of the insti-
tuition as to his refusal to submit to the
demands of Mr.. Soames, counsel for The
Times, that he give testimony favorable
to that papers case before the Parnell

deny that Gallagher has been discip-
lined, but it is nevertheless positively
know that he has.

Rumored Removal of Hewitt's IRON Works
from Trenton TO Chattanooga.

Rumored Removal of Hewitt's IRON Works
from Trenton TO Chattanooga.
New YoRK, March 21.--Ex- Mayors
Abrarn s. Hewitt and Edward Cooper
sse the proprietors of the New Jersey
Steel and Iron works, at Trenton, N. j.,
wi-h offices in this city. Messrs. Hewitt
and Cooper and Superintendent Joseph
Stokes of the iron works have been for
sor.e weeks in the south. They have
made comprehensive tour of Alabama,
Georgia and Tennessee, and now Super
Stokes Is quoted in a Trenton dispatch as
saying that on April | the works will be
removed to Chattanooga, Tenn.
He says that the raw iron and coal
supplies come from that region and the
company finds much of its market there
also. II the works were there the COM
pany would make a saving of SIG, 900
on the $4,000 tons of iron used in a year.
The works employ 1900 men, paying
them S1,000.000 in wages. The works
were established in Trenton in 1913.
AT the Office of Cooper, Hewitt & Co.,
IL Burling slip, nobody could speak with
authority and neither meraber of the
firm has yet returned to New York But
it was not believed that the removal of
the mills would necessitate a removal of
the offices and that neither of the ex-
mayors would be lost to New York.
