At the opening of the Morley Memorial Col
lcgc. in London the other day. Sir John lub
book delivered IN excellent address on the
value of books to workingmcn making how
ever. some statements which need to be taken
with qualifications. 1t is undoubtedly true, as
he said that TO the artisan books are Of special
value, not simply because they can instruct
him, but because they will give him Il trucr
knowledge of life, and lift him out of the mo-
nOtony which the modern division Of labor en-
tails upon nearly all workngmcn. Even the
savage has Il more varied existence than the
modern operative, who perhaps spends his
whole life in making. not completed article.
but a minute part Of it. So too, the life of the
worker in this respect. Even if he is Il man of
few ideas, his mind will find II certain stimulus
in the variety of his occupations Sir John Lub-
book. therefore, Is entirely right when he de-
clarcs that no class in the community would de-
rive more benefit from the reading of books
than workingmcn, and especially artisans
But we find 1t harder TO follow him when he
declares that workingmcn might become great
readers. They have. he says shorter hours
than doctors, lawyers or merchants; and when
they are through with their work they have
had all the exercise they want, and can there
fore devote all their leisure time to reading
While this may be true in q measure of artisans
of the higher class. 1t is not true of manual
workers in general They have practically
little time for reading; and If they had the
time they are too wcaricd physically TO take
advantage of II. What the Woodworking man
needs more than anything else when he fin
ishcs his days work is sleep, and plenty OF 1t.
We neither believe nor assert that IN Industrial
system which makes such II state Of affairs
necessary is ideally right. But whether right
or wrong, 1t Is fact which ii Is idle to ignore.
There is little opportunity for the average

not be intelligent; for. whatever his occupation

THE PTTERSTDE UATER-FRONT

The conference between the Park Board the
representative of the Dock Commissioners and
the citizens who wish TO preserve for the pco-
Pies use the waterfront OF Riverside Drive
was conducted last Wednesday with great
smoothncss and courtesy on all sides. and ended
as had been predicted The Dock Board made
the modest request of few hundred feet III
two places to satiatc the immediate hunger Of
commerce: the Park Board generously gave the
Dock people rather more than they asked for.
and then the Dock people laid their hands on
their hearts and solcmnly avcrred that they
never, never again would ask for any more.
Meanwhile as The Tribune pointed out before
this meeting, there is a law on the statute
books which gives the Dock Department full
control of this shore line. and SO long * this
law stands that department has no occasion TO
consult the wishes of the Park Board or any
one else In the matter. All the Dock Commits
sioncrs have 10 do is TO 20 ahead and get the
money and make their friends the contractors
happy.

OF books nowadays as though It were an un
| mixed blessing. But here also there is room
| for difference Of opinion. 1t is an unquestiOn-
able fact that the chcapness and multiplicity of
| books have resulted in making a large proper

scrappy Their desire to take advantage Of the
opportunities offered in them induces sort Of
intellectual fever that is fatal to true culture.
1t is as though they were trying to listen to

whom were speaking at the same time. The
result is often n mental paralysis, which Is quite
as harmful as blank ignorance.
The cheapncss of books works harm In an
other way. While we must rejoice that it puts
so MANY GOOD books within the reach Of the
multitude. we must not forget that it also puts
within their reach Il much larger number Of
trashy if not vicious, books at prices even
lower than those of good books. The demOral.
zation Of boys and girls by penny dreadful

facts Of the day. Its extent is not realized by

In view Of these facts, it seems to us that
the thing to do is not to encourage indiscrlm-

sity Of reading fewer and better books. TO

No surprise can be created by the news when
we publish to-day Of the resignation OF the
French Cabinet. consequent upon the belief OF
Ministers, as the result of the recent debates
in the Chamber, that they did not possess
the confidence Of the Deputies. The programme
submitted by Premier Dupuy to the Legs
lature last week, while excellent from purely
administrative point of view. was calculated TO
afford satisfaction neither to the Radicals nor
to the MOnarchists Moreover, it contained
several projects to which certain Of the Min
listers had openly expressed their objections,
while on the other hand it announced the OPP
position of the Cabinet to measures publicly
indorsed by the Ministers Of Finance and OF
Public Works. Both of these colleagues of VI.
Dupuy belong to the Radical party. and it was
solely due to the personal request Of President
Garnet that they consented TO defer their with
drawal from the Cabinet until after the meet
ing of the Chamber and the expression of the
latter's sentiment toward the Administration
by means of a vote of confidence. The latter
was bound to be unfavorabe. as it is mani
festly difficult to expect any public or legislative
confidence to be felt in a Cabinet that was
known to be quite the reverse of homogeneous

The loss Of the Javary, while not perhaps n
decisive blow, will seriously impair Admiral
Mcllos prestige and may hasten the downfall
Of the instruction. The revolt has been in
progress for three months, and there have been
no indications that any considerable portion Of
the population of Brazil was in sympathy with
it. The people are apathetic under all condi-
tons, and never in any haste to commit them.
selves to revolutionary projects. The capitals
and ports Of all the States are under the control
Of military garrisOns, and Admiral Mellos po-
litical allies, If he had any in the provinces
could aid him only by Overturning the local and
State governments and openly raising his stand
ard Nothing Of this kind has been done The
States have supported Peixoto. The civil war
has virtually been confined to Rio Harbor the
practically collapsed. and Dcsterro. the capital
of Santa Catharina, being held under the guns
Of insurgent warships. The sinking Of one of
the most formidable vessels of the Admirars
fleet will be regarded inevitably throughout Bra
I'll as the beginning Of the end of the rebellion.
The success of the CHILEAN instruction against
Baimaceda undoubtedly tended TO magnify the
importance of the Brazilian Navy 1t has
borne fruit In two naval revolts, the first Of

navy accomplished nothing on the west coast
beyond opening q base Of operation in the

cruitcd, armed and drilled for conquest. 1t was
the insurgent army that overthrow Balmaceda.
Nothing could have been gained by the con-
tinuous bombardment of Valparaiso by the
Gillian Navy.
Admiral Mellos movement seems doomed TO
speedy collapse from the lack of a supporting
military force If he had captured Bahia and
rallied abOu; his standard land force recruited
from Impcralists and rcactionary classes he
might have headed successful rebellion. Re-
naming. as he has done. with his fleet in Rio

dctaching any Of the States from loyal support
of the Federal Government. lie can hardly
have more than half Il dozen vessels of war in
the harbor, and they must have suffered more
or less from the prolonged artillery practice of
the forts. So long as the Aquidaban remains
ahoat he can keep the insurgcnt flag flying, but
the ultimate collapse of the revolution now
seems inevitable. 1t ought 10 fail for there
are no constitutional forces behind it. Admiral
Mcllos victory. if it did not involve rcstorl-
ton of the Empire. would increase the insta-
billy Of the republican order Of government
and be very grave national misfortune.
