The BiIIis All Right.

To the Editor Of The Appeal:
SiE-lt seems to me the trouble about
the Taxing District budget Is imaginary,
though the Supreme Court have adopted
line OF decisions that may give reason
for some apprehension. The appropria-
ton Of the money raised by taxation is
sufficiently germane TO the levy and col
lection TO be within the strictest holding
as TO the constitutional provision. Sup
pose they levy $4,000 for one purpose, or
percentage that would raise that amount2
In that form there could be no question.
But the form does not control the sub
stance, and the substance is that so much
OF the levy is for one purpose and so much
for another.
Apropos Of the constitutional provision.
The holding OF the court on the construc-
ton OF this clause is most unfortunate.
The clause is in these words, mo bill
shall become law which embraces more
than one subject, that subject to Dc ex-
pressed in the title" This II will be- seen
at once has reference 10 the bill not to
the law. A bill is n proposed law. Its
title is intended TO give notice OF It's con-
ltuAn WIN ~ ~ utlpIo Ant lcEiHlhtlNt
houses, so that members shall not
be thrown of their guard by
false titles. II was intended TO
guard against fraud on members
by captivating titles misleading as to the
real matter. Any one at all familiar with
the methods Of parliamentary proceeding
need not be told that the title OF bill
and the caption Of the act into which il
natures are not the same thing The
last question on the passage OF bill il the
| question, what shall be the caption OF
the act? The caption Of the act, there.
fore, is no indication Of what
has been the title Of the
bill and gives no information TO the mem.
bers Of what they have been voting on
until after the fact. This was not the
purpose OF the constitutional provision.
But the courts have ignored this practice
aud this purpose OF the provision and
treated the matter as II the purpose OF
the clause was to prevent people from be-
ing mised by the title OF the act after Il Is
passed.
| II there Il any difficulty In regard TO the
J budget nc. II can easily he cured by re-
enacting tho law at the present session,
aud perhaps, considering the uncertainty
Of doubtful things. court decision, e. T.,
that would be safest.
There Is no prohibition In the Constitu-
ton against curing defects In legislation.
Article =, section II, prohibits "aiicr bill
has been rejected" the passage OF bill
containing the same substance. A bill In.
! eiIcctually passed Is not rejected.

The Library II the Thing.

To the Editor OF The Appeal:
Sir-What Memphis needs is library.
Some people in Memphis seem to think
that a library consists OF big building,
the outside of which can he exhibited
with pride to the rural visitor during race
week. In fact, however, library is
composed Of collection OF books Access
sible to readers. Is there no way OF get
ting this idea into the minds OF the trus-
tees of the Cosstt bequest2 Ii third of
that fund were invested in books il would
make most excellent and useful every
day public library. The income of the
remainder would easily pay sufficient rent,
with the salary Of Il trained and competent
librarian, and also provide current news
papers and magazines, and leave moder-
ate but considerable sum for the purchase
OF additional books from time 10 time.
1t is both wrong in principle and a di-
version from the objects of the bequest to
refuse us the library in order some time
10 give us another melancholy shell OF a
building We have buildings enough,
but no library. READER.

Legacy.


Legacy.
To the Editor of the AppeaU
Sir-Are we ever going to have public
library So far as the general public can
see there is little likelihood of it unless the
ambitious schemes, or rather ideas, of
those having the matter in charge lose
some Of their soaring qualities and come
down to more modest and practical
plane. The Cossitt fund surely is large
enough to make a beginning and il there
has ever been a library fully equipped and
complete from the commencent no notice
OF It has ever met my eye. II the trustees
wish to attract donations and subscriptions
let them put something tangible and visi-
BILE before the public, and as this or that
need makes itself felt by those who make
use OF library, generous spirits will not
be found wanting to supply the deficiency.
Every library is thing that grows, not a
manufactured article. Give us o start.

CONGRESSMAN BRECKENRIDGE, of
Arkansas, seems disposed to be more
amlable than most OF his democratic
colleagues in congress-. He says the
republicans will be given every oppor-
tunity to make record, and that the
democrats will not throw a single
obstacle in the way of rational, unsec-
tional legislation by the majority.
With regard to the tariff, Mr.. Breckin-
ridge predicts that the democrats in the
house will be most fair and liberal in
their course, and will do nothing to pre-
vent having the question tested and a
definite result obtained, allowing the
majority to take the responsibility for
legislation-''that is to say" observed
the Arkansas congressman, ''if the
measure is not obviously and conspicu-
ously unfair" The amiable professions
of Mr.. Breckenridge would be more re-
assuring if it were not for the qualifi-
cations that accompany them, and
which suggest that he simply wants the
courage to follow Mills and others in
asserting q determination to make the
power of the minority felt as to all
Legislation proposed by the majority.
The blunt and frank avOwal of the
Texas congressman is safer indica-
tion of democratic intention than the
qualified promises of the representative
from Arkansas.

the senator. The indications therefore
are that Senator Allison will have no
opposition whatever for reelection, and
republicans throughout the country will
be very we'll pleased to know that such
is the case. Senator Allison is every
where recognized as one OF the foremost
men of the party, an able, safe and care
full leader, whose retirement from the
councils Of the party and from the
duties of public life would be serious
loss to be generally regretted.
Regarding republican prospects
in Iowa there is no appar-
ent reason to doubt the success of the
party. OBJECTIONS are reported in por-
tions OF the state on account OF the atti-
tude OF the party in supporting prohi-
bition, and doubtless there are some,
but it is not at all likely that these will
be so numerous as to jeopardize the
success of the party. A few legislative
seats may be transferred thereby and
local Offices now held by republicans
get into democratic hands, but the de-
lection will not be so great as to over
come the republican plurality of nearly
thirty-two thousand last year. 1t is inn
portant, however, that republican work
shall DE kept active, and the life which
Senator Allison is infusing into the
campaign is assurance that this will be
done
