BY all means have a local railroad commission
appointed to report to the next Congress as
proposed by Senator Faulkner, The House in
passing the Atkinson bill provided for a COM
mission. but struck out from the proposed
amendment all reference to other roads than
the Pennsylvania The Senate then repudi-
ated the commission feature, because it re-
ferred only to the Pennsylvania The
House conferees, though the House had
itself limited the commission to the
Pennsylvania by vote, assented to the
argument Of the Senate conferees that the COM
mission should cover all the roads. Then the
conference committee. instead Of shaping the
commission provision in the form which they
thought most advisable, struck it out alto
geshsr- Having deliberately wasted the oppor-
tunity of establishing this commission in con-
nection with direct grants to a railroad, as a
relevant and proper amendment to a measure
which was sure to pass, it seems doubtful
whether Congress will at this late stage Of the
session, when important national matters arc
crowding one another in the demand for atten-
ton. give the time required to pass this propo-
sition IS an independent measure, though good
faith in pursuance of declarations made upon
the floor Of the House and Senate doubtless re-
quires that the effort should be made The
people Of Washington will be both pleased and
surprised If this bill becomes a law.

Unless the clerks in the departments a
body would be benefited by the establishment
Of a general departmental library, to which the
people of the city not employed by the govern
ment might also have access, the government
should not establish such a library and Wash
inston will not ask it. The people do not be-
grudge the clerks the library facilities provided
for them and do not seek to decrease their facil
tiles On the contrary, the movement is for the
benefit of the clerks as well as for that of other
citizens. As shown by the article published
in last Saturdays. STAR and other statistical
statements, there are out of nearly 800, 900
volumes in the departmental libraries only be-
tween 10000 and 80, 900 suitable for a citculat-
ing library. and only two or three out of all
the departments have any considerable num-
Der of such works. These books. thus acce s-ible
only TO the clerks in two three departments
and accessible TO them only 30 far the frac-
ton contained in their own library is con-
cerned, would il collected i'm a general depart
mental library be open TO all the clerks in all
the departments. great body Of gov
eminent employees would enjoy privileges
of which they are now entirely deprived.
Those who now have departmental circulat-
ing library at hand instead Of being limited to
the 5000 or 10000 volumes contained in ii
would have access 10 more than 10000 in the
general library, augmented by large additions
which Mr.. Spoford SAYS can easily be spared
from the Congressional library, and By private
contributions. which. if the library were once
started would undoubtedly be considerable
The clerks in the particular buildings in which
the circulating departmental libraries are
now accommodated might suffer n trif1ing
Inconvenience from the removal of these
books few squares from the present
quarters. But catalogues Of tie library should
be III all the departments. and provision should
be made by which the clerks could draw books
from the library through accredited depart
mental messengers. This inconvenience would
thus be reduced to a minimum. and an Of
set to it would be the finer library to which
these clerks would have access and the public
benefit Of great expansion of the number OF
readers to whom the accumulated books would
be available. Other departments and bureaus
than those which nov have circulating libra
ries have applied in some instances and intend

open also to the public, vii, save the govern
ment the expensive duplication of works in
numerous small collections. and will also econ
omize in the room space devoted to depart

eminent and the clerks would profit by the
project as well as the people of Washington.
