A Library with . Great Future.

Perhaps no libraryin the Union has grown
more rapidly during the last ten years than
the library OF Columbia College In this city.
From q collection OF books which was small
and without comprehensivensss and was
little consulted. 1t has become large and
valuable one. and extensively used.
The report Of the librarian. Mr.. GEORGE
II. BAKER. for the year ending with June.
1898. shows that tho number of it's
bound volumes was then about l6o. 600. and
as It has been steadily Increasing 1t must
now bs much larger. This aggregate is ex-
elusive of pamphlets. OF which there are
many thousands. duplicates. and va
rious collections which have been do
posted With the college. but are
not Its own property. During the
single year covered by the report. nearly
10000 bound volumes were added. besides
nearly 5000 pamphlets. The increase In tho
ak years up to last June was by the great
number OF $1,000 books. Hence the oollec-
tion was doubled In size during that short
time. These additions were made by pur-
chase. and even more largely by gift. They
have included very mauy books of the
rarest sort. By reason of them the

Justifiable Opposition.

On Wednesday the Board OF Estimats
and Apportionment declared its opposi'
tion TO q bill supported by the Board oi
Education. and already passed by the
State Senate. authorizing the expenditure
of the great sum OF $4,000 for new bite
and buildings for the free college In this city.
As Mayor GILRoY remarked. there is nc
need OF new colleges In the city just now.
New schools are more requisite" The pres
ent building Of the free college In Lexington
avenue is amply sufilcient for all its proper
needs. The institution was established as Q
high school merely. and its original desig-
nation was the Free Academy. II has
changed It's name to the ambitious title OF
the College Of the City Of New York. and
has obtained the privilege Of comforting
scholastio degrees: but its prosperity is still
as q high school only. Its Introductory.
or high-school department, 10 crowded. but
when the college course proper begins. the
number of pupils 10 much lessened. and IL
falls OF rapidly as the course advances: /:
30 that only few boys are graduated.
On these few college students Q great part
OF the public money annually appropria-
ted for the institution is expended. and they
occupy o large part Of the building. For
the high-school pupils there is room enough.
and the situation Is eligible and convenient.
Meantime. as Mayor G1LRoY said. the city
absolutely needs new schools for primary
education. and the continuous outlay must
be heavy. At the meeting at which this
proposition for an increased expenditure
on the free college was opposed. the
Board Of Estimate approved report Of
Comptroller FITCH recommending that an
appropriation Of o.. SOC. 600 for new schools.
asked for by the Board Of Education, be
reduced to sl.s00.OOO. For the free college
alone. the School Commissioners want an
additional amount equal to one-half Of this
sum As thus cut down. though the demand
for school accommodations for the children
who seek primary education exceeds the
supply, and now buildings are imperatively
required for them.
The provisions for distinctively college
education In this city are already great.
and they are soon to be largely In
creased by the erection Of more COM
modious buildings for Columbia College
and the University Of the City Of New York.
mand 30 thoroughly that the expendi-
turs Of public money for the purpose
10 wholly unnecessary. Even II the
Board Of Education is determined to give
free college education. there Is no justid-
cation for maintaining o college at the cost
of the people. For the sum now spent on
this concern In single year. 1t can endow
in perpetuity as many free scholarships in
Columbia College as there are students an-
nually graduated from the Lexington ave-
nue. institution.

The Opening Year.

The aecond year Of the CLEVELAND admin
istEation does NOT begin auspiciously. The
Treasury statsments OF March transactions
show that the Federal expenditures In that
month exceed the receipts by $4,000. 900. The
elections which have taken place In various
parts OF the United States during the

Of the land diverted from wheat produc-
ton went mostly to enlarge the corn flelds.
which contained 10000 more acres In 1889
than ten years earlier. Since 1889. however.
the corn fields Of Iowa have lost all this
s7o.OO0 acres and much more that have
gone TO still further enlarge the areas em-
ployed In growing forage.
While such new States as Kansas. Ne
braska, and the Dakotas have bcen able TO
grow all the needed forage without trench
ing upon the wheat and corn fields, this is
no longer possible In the eastern parts Of
Kansas and Nebraska. and only In some Of
the cotton States. those Of the Pacific slope.
and In the mountains will IL longer be prsc-

grain-growing States except California,
Kansas. Nebraska, and the Dskotas-there
were added. during the ninth decade. some
16.7oo.000 new acres TO the areas employed
In growing cereals and hay. OF the added
acres 14.1oO.OOo were absorbed By the mead
ows alone, while the areas employed In
growing oats not only absorbed the re-
naming 100000 new acres. but were In
creased by drafts upon the wheat fields Of
this region agRregatlng $500. 900 acres. and
1t was necessary 10 make other drafts
amounting to 100000 acres upon the wheat
fields and draft for 100000 acres upon the
corn fields In order TO grow the rye. bar
ley. and buckwheat required by the domes-
tic population.
The changes wrought In crop distribution
between 1879 and 1889 In the region de-
scribed were as follows;
