That is not surprising. The editors
of Mississippi as a general rule are
sensible, discriminating fellows and
out of the abundance of good things
published in the DEMOCRAT-STAR, 1t
is but natural that IA great many of
them should fall victim to the dedi-

The pENiTBNTIARf CONTRACT.

Who is the legal contractor of the
penitentiary at this time? Is it Mosher?
Is it Dorgan? The contract for tho
lease Of the penitentiary buildings and
the convict labor was made with w. H.
B. Stout as the lowest competing bidder.
The legislature of 1887, without result
hitting the contract to competition, ex-
tended the time and transferred the lease
to Charles w. Mosher. That lease is
stitutional lawyers. In any event it has
never been cancelled. Mosher made n
pretended transfer TO Dorgan last year
after the national bank examiner dt-
rected his bank to cut loose from outside
investments. Mosher's transfer OF the
penitentiary lease to Dorgan had
not been recognized as valid by The
State Board of Public Lands and Build
ings, up to within q few weeks. Dorgan
has simply peel recognized as Mosher's
agent and all payments under the n
tract have been made in the name OF
Mosher, Notwithstanding the fact that
Mosher had been convicted of a felony
ana sentenced 10 bne enltenbidfy Ii
the Mosher contract is not valid the
transfer to Dorgan certainly is notlegal.
If the transfer is legal why has Dorgan
been drawing the money out of the state
treasury in the name of Mosher?
We realize hat the election OF Judge
Harrison will be interpreted by the
Lincoln ,boodlers and the state board as
a vindication for all they have done in
connection with Dorgan and absolution
for all they may do, whether it be lawful
or criminal.

waiian government surrendering its
authority under a threat OF war. The
secretary also finds from the evidence
supplied by the commissioner that a
majority OF the Hawaiian peo-
pie earnestly desire that the gov
eminent of their choice shall be
restored and its independence respected.
In view of these facts Secretary
Gresham asks il the wrong done Hawaii
should not be undone by restoring tho
Legitimate government, and submits the
opinion hat nothing short of this will
satisfy the demands OF justice.
In an interview ex-Minister Stevens
sharply criticizes the position and the
statements of Secretary Gresham, but
it hardly need be said hat a very large
majority of the American people will
which the letter Of the secretary of
state is based. The intelligent public
opinion of this country, regardless OF
any question as to the desira-
bility or the und~esirability of annexing
the Hawaiian islands, long ago decided
that the course of Stevens as the repre-
sentative of this government could not
be justified. Indeed the last admins
tration did not attempt to justify it.
Nothing that Mr.. Stevens may now say
will change this judgment. AS to the
proposition that this government should
restore the monarchy it is quite proba-
BILE that it will not commend itself to
our people generally, and yet it is OBJ
vious that we have a duty to discharge
in the interest of justice. The Ameri-
can mind cannot be expected to
receive with appreciation a pro-
posal to use the power of the
republic to establish monarchical gov
eminent anywhere, and yet, can we
justly do less when that power has been
improperly and unwarrantably used in
ov%erthrowing such government? The
question is a delicate one and must be
settled on principles of strict justice. 1t
it said that it will be impossible to re-
store the monarchy without bloodshed,
but this is not a matter for the United
States government to consider in decid-
ing what justice requires of it.. That
can be left wholly to the determination
Of the Hawaiian people themselves.

CALIFORNIA democrats are protesting

CALIFORNIA democrats are protesting
against any tax on native wines, while
New York brewers object to an increased
internal revenue duty on malt and beer.
This leaves the committee on ways and
means between two fires. How can they
enact their proposed tariff for revenue
only without devising other sources of
revenue besides the customs duties? The
tax on wines and liquors is the most
promising field in view, but it also prom
ises to ALLEVIATE a great many democrats
both east and west. Their renewed con-
troll of the federal government is not
bringing much joy to the members of
the democratic party.

THE HAWAIIAN QUESTION.

1t has been the general belief for some
time that the Cleveland administration
was opposed to a%nnexing the Hawaiian,
islands and that it would probably not
favor extendinga protectorate over that
remote territory. The letter of Secre-
tary Gresham to the president, which
may be regarded as representing the
views of the executive, %disposes of all
doubt aud conjecture as to the present
attitude of the administration. 1t be-
lleves that it is the duty of this govern
ment to give no further consideration to
the proposal for annexation and to restore
the deposed government to power. 1t is
not to be doubted that this will be the
view taken of the question in the forth
coming message of Mr.. Cleveland.
The letter of the secretary OF state is
strongly condemnatory of he Ameri-
can minister, John l.. Stevens, whose
official intervention enabled the revolu-
tionary party-comprising a small
minority of the people-Tto set up and
maintain the provisional government.
From the evidence obtained by Commits
sioner Blount the secretary inds that
there was no general demand on the
part of the Hawaiian people for a change
of government; that the movement for
the overthrow of the legitimate gov
eminent was largely supported by
aliens; hat the annexationists were
inspired aud encouraged in their plans
by the assurance of the American minis
ter that if successful in obtaining posses
sion of the public buildings they would
be recognized as the de facto govern
ment and supported by the armed forces
| of the United States at his command,
which was done; that the provisional
government was established by the ac-
ton of the American minister, the Ha-

THE COMING MUSICAL SEASON.

An increasing patronage OF the liberal
arts is one of the surest signs of progress
toward cosmopolitan culture. To Guilt
vate in the community a taste for the
drama, for painting and for music Is
always worthy of the best e%ndeavors of
those who are interested in raising the
people of our city to the desired standard
of refinement in these different fields.
Most particularly in the field OF music.
to bring it's patrons up to a point where
they can have a due appreciation of the
skill of the best artists, requires that
there be no interruption in the constant
efforts at musical education.
Much has already boon done to ac-
quaint the people of Omaha with the
best music that is afforded in this coun-
try, but much also still remains to be
accomplished. The work of the Apollo
club during the last few years in secur-
ing artists of the first n TO give con-
certs in this city has been of no little
service to our musical circles and has
obtained merited recognition. The
Apollo club has no thought OF
dhl lUS SllOIVS LII blIo I'LL
ton. 1t has been organized solely
with a view to the promotion
of musical interests in our midst and has
mapped out a continuation of its excel
lent work for. the coming winter. In
this it deserves the hearty support, both
moral and financial, Of every citizen OF
Omaha. The concerts given under its
auspices have attained a reputation for
artist tic excellence that is to be main
tanned in the future. 1t has neither
subsidy nor endowment to assist the
financial aspects of the enterprise, but
is dependent entirely upon popular sub
scription to its entertainments. Every
one who has the slightest regard for
music or who hopes to see Omaha become
q musical center in the west should not
fail to respond to the invitation to sub
scribe to the proposed concerts.

THE Ma lION1L LIBRARY.

1t was noted in a Washington dispatch
a short time ago that the process of
gliding the new dome of the ngr
sional library building had progressed
far enough to indicate that when COM
pleted, this golden dome will be one of
the most conspicuous and beautiful OBJ
jects at the seat of government. There
are not many gilded domes in the world,
and this n will be the largest of them
all, and will surmount the most extern
slve library building in the world. Ac-
cording to the calculations Of Librarian
Spofford the structure will have n capac-
ity to accommodate all the books of the
world for 100 years to come and still
leave seven-eighths of its available space
for other purposes.
1t is full time that this great nation
had a building where could be properly
stored the great mas of literature
that goes into q national library. The
congressional library is stored in very
cramped quarters in the capitol build
ing, occupying u space altogether in
adequate to its Importance and size.
The existence OF this library begun with
the opening of the present centur ?
some 50, 900 being appropriated for the
purchase Of books of reference for con-
gress. The collection was DESTROYED in
1914 by the British, and soon
afterwards congress purchased the
library Of Thomas Jefferson, compris-
ing some 1000 books. Additions were
made from year to year and in 1851 the
number of volumes had reached 80, 200,
b, 900 OF which were destroyed by fire
in that year. In the emergency con-
gress made an appropriation for the
purchase OF books and another for the
construction of fireproof rooms. The IL
brary was moved to the capitol before
1870, ard in tina year the copyright law
was amended so az to require that two
copies of all copyrighted publications
were to be presented to the government.
BY that provision alone over $50, 900
publications have been placed in the Ii
brary of congress, and | n Ter the inter-
national copyright law this number will
undoubtedly be largely increased with
every year. The library now holds
about 100000 volumes, besides $50, 900
English, American and continental
pamphlets, The new library building
will allow space for some 5000. 900
volumes, and as even the largest public
library OF the world at present, that of
Paris, holds less than $500, 900 volumes,
it may be takon for granted that the
new building will not be pushed to its
utmost capacity for many years to come.
The national library is indispensable
to the work of congress and is con
stantly being drawn upon during the
sessions of that body for information.
When debates Of much Importance are
in progress the pages of the senate or
house are kept running between the
library and the Legislative halls, loaded
with formidable tones and important
looking files of pamphlets. The
library's collections on law, international
Jurisprudence, history and political
economy are admirable when its con.
tractsd resources are considered, and ii
