a REMARKABLE LIBRARY,

1t is hoped that the legislature this
session will provide room in the state
house for The library of the State Histor-
| ical society. 1t is a matter in which
every part of the state is interested. The
materials o. the history of the whole
state are being saved in this library. 1t
is the most remarkable library in the
country, in that it is preserving the reg
ular issues Of all the newspapers publish
ed in Kansas, and has been for seven
teen years past Of Sedgwick
county, there are now in the library 1913
volumes of newspapers, of years from
1890 to 1898. In all, the library contains
9054 volumes of Kansas newspapers.
These have been the free gift to tue state
By the publishers. They who gave them
can reasonably demand that they should
be cared for. These files alone are worth
more to the people of Kansas than all the
Historical society has ever cost the state.
But the library not only contains news
paper files, but books, pamphlets, manu-
scripts, pictures. and numberless histori-
cal relics. The institution has created a
worldwide interest, and has attracted
gifts from every quarter until it numbers
now upwarde of 10000 volumes. The
plans of the state capitol, made many
years ago, make no adequate provision
for this library. For want of room
large part of this library has been crowd
ed into cellar rooms where it is stored in
packing boxes. A small portion of the
vast room IN the capitol building, if set
apart for the use Of this library now,
would accommodate it for many years.
The legislature should provide rooms for
its immediate use, and direct that in the
completed capitol building there shall be
prepared ample and suitable room for
its future accommod alton.

ARE WINTERS COLDER?

II Seems So in Europe, While Ours Are
Growing Warmer.
It is often asked. regarding the sea-
sons, whether they alter from year to
year, whether there is positive change
in climate from century to century.
The general opinion seems to be, ac-
cording to the New York Press, that
the springs and summers are cooler
than they once were, and that the win
tiers are less cold.
The records OF thermometrical obser-
vatiOns show that the temperature of
the month of May is diminishing, but
that the temperature of the year, taken
together, rather tends to increase.
Taking into consideration period of
fifty or sixty more years, there has been
observed an actual diminution of the
mean temperature in the climate of
France. But observing longer period
comparing, for example, the earliest
centuries of French history with the
present time-no sensible difference Of
the seasons can be established.
For example, the Roman emperor,
Julian, was very fond of living at Paris;
and about A D. $50 he made several
long sojourns in that city. In his Mis-,
opogon he relates that he was greatly
surprised one fine morning to see the
Seine stopped in its course and its
waters changed into blocks of marble.
Sol see that there was at that time,
as well as to-day, winters severe enough
TO freeze the rivers, and that the eli
mate has not changed much if any.
Perhaps the men of the present time
have more sensitive epidermis than
had their hardy ancestors.

IN A BOX.

And now it's DIR. Cleveland and his
party who are in a pickle, a big pickle
and a strong pickle. Ten DAYS ago he
had the cheek to notify the present con-
Qress, under a Republican administra-
ito, that unless the Sherman silver bill
was Immediately repealed he would call
an extra session of congress. Yester-
day afternoon Senator Hill of New York,
made motion to take up the repeating
bill for consideration and the senate
voted no. Now what will the party do
who won last falls victory on a free
trade or false pretences. Unless some
thing occurs within sixty days to
stop the outflow of gold from this coun-
try something seriously financial
is going to happen. As the Democratic
party is the dollar of the daddie5'pa
the chances are that the aforesaid serious
happening will be the sudden disappear
ance of gold from general circulation
and a consequent depreciation of coin
notes.
Mr. Cleveland can make up his mind
to an extra session, but the incoming
congress wont lack much if anything of
being for free coinage. Free coinage
means America against the world. If
she wins then she will be the richest
power on earth; but, if she loses, silver
won't be worth to exceed forty to fifty
cents an ounce.
The Democratic party is in box.

should be men of great legal ability and
character. The appointment of Judge
Jackson is the first step in alternating the
judiciary from politics."
