Decently and In Order.

At this time OF distress we hear Il urged
with much earnestness and sincerity that a
special effort be made to hurry forward our
public works In order to provide unem-
ployed men with opportunity to earn a
living. There Is no division OF feeling to-
ward this aspect Of the question. There is
no difference Of serious and sincere opinion
either that this means OF helping needy
people cannot be properly pressed to the
execution OF work improper in itself or not
prepared with the usual study. Everybody
Is anxious to 80 to the limit OF the city's
legitimate resources. but when they are
exhausted other methods OF relief must
he substituted. 1t must he said that at this
time the city Is extremely fortunate In
having in Mayor GrLEoY an officer who. in
his very vigorous efforts to officially assist
the unemployed. has drawn the limo clearly
against the notion that the peculiar cir
cumstances OF the moment give license for
overslippIng In the matter OF public works
the lines Of procedure fixed by law or ex-
perence or for any sacrifice OF the general
interest.
No other rule is admissible for projects
that can DO started practically this winter.
For example. IL it Is proper to use money
available for the Harlem River Driveway,
to begin work there that may cause pcrma-
nent damage to the landscape and that will
have to be done over again. why stop ut
that? Why not boldly take the million
dollars appropriated for the parks this year
and deliberately plough up the Central
Park and cut down its trees The beautiful
banks OF the Harlem are no more to be
heedlessy attacked by an unqualified hand
and on unmatured plans than are the
finished meadows and groves OF Central
Park. II there is any strength in the move
ment 80 to do. 1t shows the greater need for
all charitable agencies TO bestir themselves
still harder in order to protect the city's
normal interests.

The reader may suppose that we intend

Poetry.
We quote this interesting and impressive
avcrment from the Washington Star:

We quote this interesting and impressive
averment from the Washington Star:
There are more books OF poetry in the National
Library here In Washington than the diEsnt stu-
dent OF American literature can imagine"
There were 1000 OF these copyright
books Of poetry on the National Libra
rvs official shelves some years ago. We
doubt whether. in any one year since
that time. the library has been enriched by
moro than 365 American poetry books. Let
us guess. then, that at the opening OF this
year. there were 10000 copyrighted books
Of the kind on file in Washington: and let
us further guess that the further pro-
duction Of them by the American peo-
pie will increase annually in the ratio Of
the increase OF the population. In that
event. there will be about 1870 books OF
poetry-didactic. narrative. aspirativc,
plaintive, military. descriptive. romantic.
scientific. sacred. plain and gilt-edged.

and feminine. long and short metre.

burned; or in tho two other libraries
which subsequently existed in Alexandria.

And now. dear poets Of our land. let tho

Pearl River Harbor.

It has been suggested that the annexation
Of Hawaii is really not important on stra-
tegic grounds. inasmuch rs the Government
of the United States already has a right to
establish and fortify a naval and coaling
station at Pearl River IIarbor.
There Is no doubt OF the value OF that har-
Dor Situated In the island Of Oahu. about
. dozen miles from Honolulu. IL is a capa-
cious. land-locked anchorage. where the
fleets OF an empire might find a rendezvous
or q refuge. Tho entrance is narrow, and
the channel could there be completely COM
manded by n single fort: SO that while the
high bluffs on the east shelter tho harbor
from storms. it could also be made secure
against the attack Of enemies. The island

20 consent to renewal Of the reciprocity
treaty OF 1878 with Hawaii. when 1t had ex-
pired. until right to use this station had
been granted to our Government.
But while 1t is not necessary to underrate
the value OF Pearl River Harbor. there are
two facts important Just now TO notice.
One is that We do not hold the harbor by
. perpetual cession. but only under a grant
limited to the life Of the treaty. The other
IL that the treaty term will expire at a time
not far distant. and that Mr.. CLEVELAND.
Paramount BLoUNT. and Mr.. GRESHAM have
been trying TO destroy the Government
which could renew the right to occupy that
hArbor.
That this right is terminabls with the
reciprocity treaty OF which IL forms a part
Is clear from its language. but has been
put beyond doubt by special declarations
When the treaty was discussed in Homo
lulu It's ratification was objected 10 on tho
ground that the United States might insist
that the grant Of Pearl River Harbor was
perpetual. This objection having been put
by the Hawaiian Minister in Washington
before Secretary BAYARD. the latter. on the
2Sd Of September. 1887. replied that he found
