The Lihrary Question.

On Thursday . free library will be
opened In Allegheny, and Pittsburg Is
already considering the acceptance OF
nm offer Of Mr.. Carnegie to give that city
library on similar terms. The Alle-
gheny library cost twenty-six thousand
dollars and Is given to the city on condi-
tion that It be properly maintained for
the benefit Of the public, but there are
signs that there may be difficulties about
this plan. There II o controversy be-
tween city councils and the school board
and some political jealousy In the matter.
Although the taxation for maintenance
will be very light, and tho library will
hardly be allowed to suffer for 1t, It Is a
pity that political struggles should he
allowed to have any effect whatever
upon library. The Carnegie plan Is
very good one 30 far as 1t goes, but 1t
would be much better to have an insti-
tuition Of that kind 30 firmly supported
by endowment that 1t need not depend
upon the whims Of city fathers.
The need Of q public library In Lam
caster has often been strongly urged,
but every agitation Of the subject only
serves to impress The fact that a free un-
denomiI,ss..ional and vigorous institution
can only be secured by the gift ofa large
sum, and there does not seem to be
n narrow limit to the amount of cash
that library could healthfully absorb.
The Allegheny building includes music
hall, which will seat thirteen hundred
persons, art galleries and lecture rooms.
Music, art and literature seem to go well
together, and when Lancaster's bene-
factor, whoever he may be, gets ready to
establish q library, 1t Is suggested that
the plan might be drawn no as to
give plenty Of room for all three
under one roof. Then as the
city constantly grows and the stock
Of books gets larger music, and art may
be crowded out into homes of their own
or the old home may be enlarged.
If an enterprise like this should be
| given n good start with a large
donation 1t can hardly he doubted
that there would be many eager
contributors In this wealthy town
and county who would boom II
along finely. Although Lancaster I,
often referred to as the richest Of agri
cultural counties in the United States II
Is not at all to our credit that 1t Is rarely
mentioned as leader in the intellectua
progress Of tho nation. 1t is n cOlleg'
town. wealthy town and q healthy towl
and 1t should DO centre Of intellectual
activity, but whether because o
the more even distribution of 1T
wealth or the conservative tradi
tions Of our people, we don't make bal
as much stir In the world as other cite
not half as strong.

PHILADELPHIA, Monday, Feb. Is. 1890.
Too mMek for Ms.
Our policy for this month is
to bring forward with all posi-
bic rapidity the new things for
Spring. We hoped that we
might tell you something each
day Of all the novelties for
dress, or OF the new things for
personal or for domestic uses as
they came along. But the task
is too great. The hundreds Of
cases from beyond the sea and
from American manufacturers
contain too many things Of too
many sorts to be told Of in full
detail.
On Saturday we gave some
details of .Lupin's new Dress
Goods, but the half was not
told, nor the quarter. You
will have to seek the Black
Goods counters for Blacks, the
Cream Goods counter for the
Creams, and the Novelty coun-
ter for all other colorings. -
In the aisle opposite the Nov
city Dress counter you will find
many new things in fine wool
and worsted diagonals. Their
special feature is the extremely
beautiful and delicate ground
coloring, in elegant contrast
with large stripes and plaids
and stylish borders. Some Of
| the latter in Knickerbocker ef-
fects are very stylish. Descrip-
ton is absolutely useless.
But our broad and deep
statement, often made, and as
often family echoed in almost
our own words, that without
exception the unequaled Dress
Goods Stock of the World is
here, is applied to the variety
of Dress Goods, here and COM
ing, for this Spring.
The great varieties already
at your service prove this.

Clerks Do n sr.ndIe.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2I.-The Nal says
il is reported on the boari OF trade
that the settling clerks Of d. p.
Hutchinson, by n series Of cross
trades made 10 q certain broker,
have swindled him out of a very
large sum Of money. The amount
taken was reported TO have been rs
much as 800, 600.
The ErElsfH0 Journal says that
Hutchinson, while admitting the
entertainments, denies that they foot
up more than n few thousand dol
lars. The Journal says, however,
that this is but n continuation or
part Of a system Of robbery where
by sold Hutch' has been victim
lied for nearly two years. His
trades On the board are said to
be very loosely managed; and this
accounts for the ease with which
the stealing was done. The Journal
asserts that job was put up by
Thomas Stoner, one Of Hutchinson's
most trusted clerks, and Bert King,
trusted clerk of the broker, II.
Dickinson. Stoner would mark up
an account he considered safe,
from 500 to $1,000 against Hutchin-
son and TO the Credit OF w: p.
Dickinson. King would make no
corresponding entry on Dickenson's
sheet. The amount would &c duly
paid into the clearing house, but OF
course not collected by Dickinson.
1t would be returned TO Hutchin-
son as uncollected, when Stoner
would go TO Hutchinson's cashier,
point out the debt on the sheet anu
have a check drawn for Dickinson.
King would convert this into cash
aud divide with ms partner IN

WASHINGTON, Jan. ga eau
Gus Of the democratic members Of
the House tonight, Holman Of Ind
lam in the chair, discussed the new
code of rules now in cOurse Of pre-
pnratiOn by the committee on rules.
Briefly stated, those that were in
stauced by Carlisle as being par
ticularly Objectionable TO the demo-
cratic minority are the rules that
do away with the old House calen-
dsr. leaving only the calendars ofthe
committee Of the whole and state OF
the Union; that make 100 quorum
Of the committee Of the whole; that
re-establish the old morning hour
rule, when business must be c0nsid-
cred in order Of committee list; that
bills must he regarded as pending
until disposed OF, and that fail to
make privileged motions TO adjourn,
to fix a day or to make a recess.
There was long discussion over
the proposed changes, which failed
to result in the advancement Of any
practicable scheme for an ameliora-
ton of the repugnant features OF
the new rules.
The contested election cases were
then taken up, and it was generally
agreed that the intention Of the re-
publicans was to unseat as many
democrats and seat rs many repub-
licans as will give them fair work
ing majorityand to insure quorum,
in order to force through the rules.
Although no formal resolution was
adopted, it was understood among
the democratic members when the
caucus adjourned that the repub-
lican plan should be resisted to the
utmost, and the minority should ex-
ercise all its constitutional rights to
prevent its success. mother words,
the determination is TO fight the
rules legitimately when obnoxious
sections are reached, and refrain
from voting, and leave the House
without quorum Il an attempt is
made TO unseat democratic members
before the rules are adopted.
