think that really useful and permanently
successful circulating library can De built up
by the gratuities OF the government alone.
While there is every reason for deyotlnS 10
use and circulation the masses OF books now
largely unused in the various government de-
pOsitories, no one ofsuch collections, nor even
all combined. can be expected TO form Ii
brarY of even approximate fulness Tor the
wants of the readers of to-day.
''The fact that the citizens OF hundreds and
even thousands OF American cities and towns
tax themselves for the purchase OF new books
for general use in circulation, should Incline
our citizens toward similar liberaity, to the
end that the new city library may become
worthy of the rank of intelligence which the
National Capital should assume"
''What do you consider, l asked, 'the
proper location and fittest habitation for the
projected fbrary?"
"A central location" said he, sis of the
utmost consequence. And what better or more
popular locality could possibly be desired than
the upper floors of the new city post-office
building, where ample space would concur
with the utmost accessibility. Nearly all peo-
pie visit the city post-offlce at sometime dur
ing the week. and many do so in person or by
messenger every day. That portion OF Penn
sylvania avenue is perhaps as much travelled
as any part OF Washington that could be
named"
''In the light of the fact that work will soon
begin on the upper stories of the post-ofhce
building this subject should meet with earn-
est consideration, so that the necessary legis-
Iation can be secured from Congress early in
the coming session in order that the plans oil
the upper stories can readily be adapted to the
uses of the public library.
When questioned as to the possibility Of any
opposition from the department officials to
the change contemplated, Mr.. Spofrord said
The proposed library is so manifestly in
the interest of public intelligence that can
not but think that it would enlist the good
will OF all the members of the present admin
lstration, whose aid is OF the utmost import
ance in securing the desired result
THE TIMES endeavored to secure express
sions OF opinion from the administration, but
so many of the Cabinet officials are out oil

RAILROAD platform oRAToRy.

Old ''IIppecanoe' Harrison never knew the
beauties Of the railroad campaign now being
conducted by his grandson and by other
prominent eIponents of great political par
ties. In those days the rural voter had to be
lured by forced marches on foot or horseback,
and the successful candidate owed much OF
his election TO a strong physique or good
piece OF horsehesh.
But railroad platform oratory demands re-
quirements Of another character. Thespeaker
must learn every morning something Of the
individual character OF ten or fifteen differ
ent towns, and throw the resultant local color
ing into ten or fifteen different speeches.

MR.. WHITNEY's LETTER.

Mr.. Whitneys letter proved not to be the
one that never came.-New York World.
Mr.. Whitney, of New York, will not be in
the fight, with David B. Hill as his campaign
manager, but he promises to stand by and
say "Sic 'em, Dave" and tell him when he is
beaten.-Boston Journal.
Ex-Secretary Whitneys services to the
New York Democracy this year are limited to
advice. He would not take the first place on
the ticket. He will not take the place of
chairman of the campaign committee. but he
writes letter saying that New York is the
keystone of the political situation and telling
the Democrats what they ought to do. 1t is
probable that there will be a good many
Democrats in New York just as active this
year as Mr.. Whitney promises to be.-Phlla-
delphia Inquirer.

Newspapers and workingmen.

Another change in favor of the organize
tions has taken place, and that is the seeming
importance that the daily newspapers of the
city are attaching 10 the proceedings of the
labor bodies. 1t is but a very short time ago
that it was next to impossible to get an i'm
portant resolution published in the daily
press. But how things have changed; report
ers are constantly lowering over the doors of
our meeting halls, and are anxious to publish
anything that may be given them. Why, we
believe that even the walking delegate will
soon be recognized as a halfway decent kind
of fellow. Of course the working people
are taking ali this in, but at the same time
they fully understand why this sudden con-
version has taken place.-District Labor Ad-

NEW YORK GRABBED THE CUP.

The baseball season is over, the Temple cup

that one pennant Is worth a dozen cups
Baltimore American.
New York has won that cup, and now all
Baltimore pessimistically believes that her
championship doll is stuffed with sawdust.-
Boston Globe.
The Temple cup series does not prove any
thing; it in no way clouds the victory OF the
Orioles, nor can it be accepted as test of
superiority. 1t simply establishes the fact
that the champions felt satisfied with the dis
tinction achieved in winning the pennant
and that the Giants fought tooth and nail for
second honors.-Baltimore Herald.

TAMMANY'S TICKET.

Philadelphia Record-Tammany's nomina-

Philadelphia Times-Tammany has put up
remarkably strong candidate in Nathan
Straus, popular merchant and practical
philanthropist OF high character and great
ability, who, if he could run on his own
merits, should command the fullest measure
of public confidence.
Philadelphia Ledger-The ticket nomi-
mated by Tammany Hall last night for city
officers is unusually free from the names OF
machine politicians. Though named by the
machine, the ticket is such that the machine
would never offer the community unless it
realized that the present campaign was most

Wise W ords from Gotham.

An old prediction OF Mr.. Blaine's to the
effect that tariff reform would be brought
about, but that the people would repent in
sackcloth and ashes, has been brought out
by the Washington Post to DO duty for the
Republicans in this campaign. II it isn't
handled carefully, the business boom will
knock it into a cooked hat. The Post, which
is shrieking for return Of IcKinleyism. is

THAT VIRGINIA HoLp.uP.

In addition TO her old-time record for
mothering Presidents, the grand old State of
Virginia has put up train robbery that sets
all like Western episodes aside for future ref
erence. 1t is to be noted, also, that the
executive genius exhibited by the Virginia
type of highwayman is about as marked as
was ever displayed by Virginia delegate to
the White House.
But one Improvement can be suggested.
The Western style is too rough for the courtly
Old Dominion. Her train robbers should in
troduce into their profession something of the
grace and politeness that characterizes the
bandit of Lombardy, the polished chronom-
eter-snatcher of rural France or the old
time stage-stopper of England.
In line with these considerations it is evil
dent that the frayed overcoats and trousers
and the heavy boots which formed the cos
tumein Fridays drama, should be supplanted
by tight knee Dreeches. long-tail coats,
buckled low shoes, tri-cocked hats, and that
suave gentility of the State across the Poto-
mac.
The average engineer could not resist such
an appeal to his courtesy; the express mes
senger would remember Lord Chesterfield
and open the safe; the passengers might in
dulge in a little friendly banter, but would
certainly participate in the general bestowal
OF yaluables.
When Virginia again makes an international
exhibit OF her hold-up resources she should
reflect that the various wild West shows have
presented the Western article in all its prlmi-
tive beauty and sweetness We are waiting
for something original and distinctive, some
thing with new local color.

fragrant plagiarism. Shades of James,

Represent the Christ and the revelation
of the New Testament would become
startlingly new and fresh to us. The
clergy would find thrilling topics in our
daily liie-topics would force from their
lips the eloquence of warning or praise.
Corruption would find in the pulpit its
unrelenting enemy and official honor its
mightiest defence. Religion would no
longer be in the clouds, but would walk
the earth armed cdp-o-pied to the battle
IN the name of God and man.
In an orchestra there may be forty or
fifty instruments, and they are all neces-

Suppose the first and second violin in

their personal preference, not according
to instructions; suppose the cello and
bass viol should exercise the same priv
ilege suppose the drums snd the cor
nets and the flutes should demand an
equal right-what would result? Not
music, but intolerable discord. The ca
pacity to render a symphony of Beetho-
ven or Wagner is in that orchestra, and
il its members are subject to the lead

for harmony and find only discord Lit

If the clergy will forget every thing

that men are hard pushed and need
help and comfort and good cheer-theu

world will be better for it.-New York
