Most OF the members of Congress who
have talked of tariff measures have spoken
with more or less of enthusiasm on the
necessity for opening up a great foreign
market for American products. Eloquence
almost unlimited has been poured forth
on this topic and yet one of the most i'm
portant means by which a great foreign
trade can be built up has been neglected
from the date of the establishment of this
republic down to the present time. This
shortcoming has provided Mr.. William F.
Wharton. ex-Assistant Secretary of State
with a text upon which that eminently
capable publicist has based a discourse
worth listening to. In the North American
Review he has shown clearly how very
weak is the organization of our consular
system and, when that weakness is so ap-
parent that all who read the argument
must be convinced, he goes a little further
than most critics and suggests a remedy.
The proposition is one that cannot fail to
be Endorsed by all classes save and except
the practical politicians and the inferior
material such as is the beneficiary of pres
ent conditions. Mr. Wharton's idea is that
the consular officer should be a man of
character. ability and position, capable of
transacting business in a manner cred
table to the nation he represents and with
profit to those whose products are needed
In the land where he resides. Such an
official should be well paid. but Mr..
Wharton is fully aware of the difficulties
that confront those who talk to the Ma
tional Legislature about increasing salaries.
he suggests a solution of the problem that
appeals quite strongly to the average man.
He claims that unless Congress can see it's
way to make more generous appropria tons
for the consular service with a view prin-
cipally to creating larger salaries, it would
be far wiser to reduce the number of sala-
s.sl Offices and to distribute the sum OF

Originating In the public interest. having
the support of unanimous popular sympa-
thy and the solid backing of the District
Commissioners and the Board of Trade and
other citizens associations, there seems to
be no reason why the bill which provides

place OF resfdence-is without such an insti-
tuition and in that respect Is admittedly in
fsrior to any one OF thousand villages
scattered throughout the country. Surely
such a condition should not be permitted to
continue much longer. 1t Is an inexplicable
arachronism that here. where the govern
mental heart Is, where science. art and lit
eraturs are finding a national centraliza-
tion-just as politics did long ago-where
there are more than a million books. there
n no free public library. The absence Of
such a necessity is a clog upon the educa-
tional efforts that are being made in the
schools and colleges of Washington, and Is
an injustice to the local workingmen. No
reasonable objection can possibly be offered
to the library project; no one even attempts
to make adverse argument; its desirability
and its value are admitted by all. Stanley
Jevons, who was a sociologist Of high rank.
placed great value upon the work of social
reform accomplished by free public libra
ries. He said: There is probably no mode
OF expanding public money which gives a
more extraordinary and immediate return
IN utility and innocent enjoyment Even IL
they were expensive, free libraries would be
less expensive than prisons, poorhouses and
other institutions maintained by public
money, or the gin palaces, music halls and
theaters maintained by private expenditure
The whole annual cost Of free libra
ries Is not only repaid many times over by
multiplication of utility of the books on
which 1t is expended, but it.is likely in the
lapse of years to come back fully in the re-
duction OF the poor rates and government
expenditure on crime" Sir John Lubbock
who was an intensely practical Investigator.
put himself on record as fully convinced
that money devoted to the establishment
and maintenance of free libraries is more
than returned by the lessening of taxation
necessary to support the police and the pau
per. Who will disagree with Sir Johns
statement to the effect that it is much more
satisfactory to spend money on schools and
books than on the prison and the work.
house? A large expenditure of public money
would therefore be justified, because every
dollar invested would bring forth gain, but
as a matter of fact there Is in the present
instance no demand for big appropriations.
A home for the library can be obtained in
the new city post Office building; the cost
OF installing the library will be small; so
small as to be inconsequential. 1t is I'M
likely that any Representative or Senator
will interfere in any way with the forward
movement Of the library bill The measure
should speedily become law.

Among the more pressing of local matters
recently laid before Congress is one of
unQuestioned importance and of the kind
mat demands speedy action; it is the
proposition to set aside certain receipts
and place them to the credit of the fund
out of which disabled policemen are paid
pensions. That the policeman who is in
tured while in the discharge of duty or
who wears himself out by many years of
active service deserves well of the public,
will hardly be disputed, but just now the
District Of Columbia finds 1t impossible
to- reward faithful servants because the
necessary cash is not in its possession.
There was at one time the nucleus Of a
pension fund, and the disbursement of
that money! has accomplished great good !;

DIED OF HEART DISEASE.
Result of the Autopsy On the Body
OF Mary Duff.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10, 1S94.-An autopsy
was made last night upon the body of
Mary S. Duff, the Brooklyn girl who,
with her b%etrothed, was found dead in
a b~ath-house yesterday at Sea Cliff,
I. l..
The autopsy has established beyond
a doubt that the cause of he young
woman death was heart disease,
whether -superinduced by the use of
chloroform or not will probably never
be known
Lawyer Hodskin, a cousin of Miss
Duff's lover, when seen at his home,
No. 440 Clinton street, this morning,
said that the doctors VINO performed
the autopsy stated that the girls heart
was exceedingly weak. and that she had
been for a long time in a condition
from which death might have resulted
at any moment from any very slight
cause. Even the slightest whiff of
chloroform, inhaled as a cure for the
severe headaches to which Miss Duff
was liable, might, and very likely would,
have stopped the action of the heart.
Mr.. Hodskin said that the body of
Elicit L. Titus would be brought to
Brooklyn this afternoon, and would be
buried from the Hodskin home tomor-
row. Mr.. Hodskin said that there could
be no doubt that his cousin had shot
himself in a frenzy of despair or fear,
or both, when he found that life had
fed from his betrothed.

cooperation was unanimously endorsed
last night at the annual meeting or the
