A LIBRARY KICKER.

1t Takes Too Long to Verify References
IN Novel "FInding List"
To the Editor Of the Jersey cftg Neios:-
Your article the other day in regard to
the free library is all very well. A much
more interesting article might be written
upon the wonders OF red tape. and the
present library system might be used as
a striking example. Fur months the
money Of the people has been
tied up in this library pro-
ject. The interest on the money aud
the salaries lave been paid out, but the
books have not Now, at the time Of u
summer vacations, when so many people
are going away for a few days, and when
a book could be made q valuable compau-
ion, what do we f1ndi Why, No fa-
cilitIes fer obtaining books. In the
first place You must present an
application and reference. That part is
all right, but It is not right TO make a
person wait a week or two to have the
reference investigated. Think. for in
stance of Charles Winfield presenting
an application indor sed by Judge Lippin-
colt. or any other well known
man presenting al application in
dorsed by ex-Mayor Traphagen or
told he must wait at least a week to have
his references investigated The remedy
for this Is very simple. Employ a man
who is acquainted with the people of Jer-
sey City, inc nave all applications re-
ferred to him with power to issue cards at
once TO all persons whom he can vouch
for. One minute, instead Of n week,
would be sufficient time for a competent
person to pass upon a large portion OF the
applications.
The next thing to criticize is the list of
novels published by the trustees. A list
OF all books suitable for summer reading
should have been prepared long before
this date. But, as to the present list, |
would ike to know il a special library
course OF training was required to pre-
pare IL. / imagine that a bright school
boy could suggest several improvements
which would more than double its value.
When the summer has passed. and we
have returned to our daily avocarions,
with no time to store our minds with
the valuable information locked up in
that wonderful library, we can glance
through the windows as we hurry by,
and think of how much we might a
learned could we have been permitted to
take out a boo in the leisure season.
Well, we can console ourselves with
the thought that possibly next summer
will fluid the exquisite library system in
full working order.
In the meanwhile, as an excellent Illus
tratiou Of how not to do it. / commend
you to the Jersey City Free Public
Library.

THE VERSATILE GERMAN EMPEROR.
Master in His Country-His Activity and
Enterprise.

Master in His Country-His Activity and
Enterprise.
William II. is undoubtedly the most re-
markable sovereign of the present time.
He is a modern man, Notwithstanding
certain p~roclivities which still adhere to
him, like pieces Of the she'll of an egg
from which the bird has issued. w It'll
restless activity he seizes upon all ques-
tions which agitate our time, be they
large or small. Today he speaks on great
European affairs. opens new issues to
German commerce. and proclaims social
reform; tomorrow he opens an art ex hibi-
ton and takes a personal part in the per-
Torrance of Wildenbruch's patriotic
drama. 1.-THE New Lord" He presides
oyer his Council and shows himself a
ready de5ater. opens a scholastic con fer
ence. laying down his educational plaus,
and indefatigably travels over his
try in order to see everything with his
own eyes. Much in all this may be at
tributed to his active temper, but the
moving principal Is undoubtedly the
high conception of his duty as "the
first servant Of the state" This concep-
ton is pound up with a stronq conscious
ness of his eniuent position; ne feels
himself to be the pillar of the state, called
to carry out a great mission. As before
the dismissal of Bismarck he said that he
would crush any one trying 20 obstruct
his path. so he declared ia his late speech
at Dusseldorf:-"Only one is master in
this country; l shall suffer NJ other" 1t
would be unjust to see 10 such utter
ances, caused by a high consciousness of
his power, absoiutist tendencies on the
part of the Emperor He Is a constitu-
tional prince and has rigidly respected
parliamentary rights. But in a time
when the principle of authority and order
is undermined in many ways. the youth
full sovereign feels that he is the centre
of monarchial discipline, without which
the State can neither exist nor progress.
and he is resolved TO maintain his author
ity against Social Democrats as well as
against interested coalitions of privileged
classes n persons-Priuy Councillor

The TIN Plate Humbuc.

There is every indication that the
extensive Importation of tin plate into
this country will soon have to be re-
sumed, because of the small supply
now on hand. Importer Charles s.
Trench says he is confident 'That
within two and ahalf to three months
We shall be regularly importing our
full consumption of tin plates from
England just as though there had
never been such a thing as the Nc
Kinley bill The only reminder OF it
we shall have will be the increased
cost of plate to American consumers
The extortionate tax put upon all who
use tin by the brilliant Ohio Major
will increase the price of a box of tin
worth $3.50 to S. II, the duty being
sa37. If there is any virtue in the
tariff as an industry producer, we
surely should have tin-plate works
here capable of supplying the entire

The Eoonomr Of Pain.

-
Mr.. Howells says I'VE are all blind
ed. we are all weakened, by a false
ideal of self-sacrihce.r Even a cursory
glance at ourselves and those about
us confirms the truth of this state
ment. In some way we have 50 mis-
interpreted the Bible as to believe
that pure religion aud indebted con-
sists in ignoring common sense. We
do not dare trust our own Judgment
in the crises of sorrow and disaster,
and imagine that the most painful
course, by reason OF its very pain, is
the one we ought to follow. Many of
our funeral customs. through a false
idea of what is due the dead, become
barbarous infections upon the living.
We r wanting in feeling for those
whom God has taken, we believe, if
we do not torture ourselves by every
sight and sound calculated to increase
our suffering. It is a remnant, per-
haps, of the savage idea that a grave
must be heaped with sacrifices.
There is such a thing as a luxury of
woe amounting to dissipation. 1t is
quite as selfish as any avoidance of
pain and more injurious to others.
Children are dressed in mourning gar
ments, the significance Of which they
cannot understand. and depressed by
darkened windows and hysterical out
bursts of grief. Sometimes they grow
to hate the very name of the dead,
whom in their ignorance they hold
accountable for the dreariness of their
lives.
Often entire families have been sac
riticed through a mistaken conception
of the rights OF one member. Blood is
thicker than water, the adage runs,
and hence to the black sheep are
offered up all the faflings of the flock.
Sentiment says we have no right to
deny the shelter of the home to the
prodigal, no matter how vile and im-
p~enitent he may be. We forget 10
ask where the gain lies in allowing
the o who has wasted his substance
in riotous living to squander the in
heritance of his brother.
The young girl insists upon giving
up the man she loves and who loves
her, in order that he may marry some
one whom he does not care for. Three
lives are thus ruined instead OF a pos
sible one.
The affairs of philanthropy are wet
with the blood of women who have
both gratified and sacrificed them
selves in excessive zeal in behalf of or
phanages and reformatories. Their
own children are lett motherless just
at the time when they need careful
training most.
In cases of illness there appears to
be an idea that 1t is quite praise
worthy for those caring for the in
valid to wantonly overtax their
strength, and SO expose themselves,
that the logical consequence is an in
crease of suffering all around.
The question where does our duty
to ourselve end, and that to others
begin, is so subtle that it divides the
joint and marrow. To quote Mr..
Howells again:-''It is the economy of
pain that naturally suggests itself, and
which would insist upon itself if we
we're not all perverted by traditions
which are the Pigments of the shallow
est sentimentality. Helen Jag in
Hq7Der's Bnsdr.

Sea- Glrt Camp romfoolery.

Someone. who thinks he is very
funny, mails us anonymously an ac-
count Of an alleged practical joke
played in the Sea Girt Camp on a gen.
tleman who attended the recent Den
tai Convention at Asbury Park.
According to the story, one wag
slipped a candle into the gentleman's
pocket while the rest turned out to
arrest him on a charge Of theft. A
drum head court martial sentenced
him to be drummed out Of camp, and
this was done, the prisoner all the
time distributing cigars belonging to
the Colonel OF the Third Battalion,
in whose tent we had been confined.
Information reaches us from another
source that by way of a practical joke
some unmitigated blackguard dosed
the food OF the staff mess so that all
who partook of it became sick.
Now IL the military authorities can
not stop horse play OF this sort, the
annual encampment had better be
discontinued. 1t is especially unfor-
tunate that officers appear to be al
ways the offenders, while their men
look on. 1t is hard to imagine any
thing more subversive Of discipline or
better calculated to bring the encamp-
ment into disrepute.

stomach, creates an appetite, promotes healthy
digestion, relieves sick headache, clears the
mind, and cures the most obstinate cases Of dss-
