Is the Mayor Beaten.

sThe Mayor Beaten" howls the
Ecenfng Preoaricator, with its usual
enthusiasm for dishonesty.
Is be, indeed?
Well, the Board of Finance will be
apt to find out that the Mayor is in a
remarkably strong position for a
beaten man. A couple of years ago.
the Street and Water Board, backed
by the old Ring inanciers, 'beat" h
Mayor several times. The result of
their victories" was that they had to
climb down off their perches and do
just what the Mayor told them. They
are now comparatively respectable
members of society owing to the CAM
paign OF moral education which His
Honor carried on through the earlier
years of his term. The intercourse OF
the members of the Finance Board
with the Mayor will have a similar
effect in the course of time. They
will see the error of their ways, will
sit on the stool of repentance, and in
due time will become, IL may De,
valuable and conscientious officials.
Their first lesson will take place to-
night-if they venture to hold amset-
ing. They will find that the copied
speeches which they read to each
other yesterday, have not materially
advanced them to a settlement of the
middle in which they have involved
themselves under the influence of
drugs. They will realize, at once,
that the Mayor, instead of being
beaten has the whip in hand, and
presumably Brother-in-law Billy will
have to write q few compositions
on morality to explain just why things
are the way they ought not to be.

nished for from SO. 900 TO $50, 900. The
Trustees. according to their report,
pay So, 116. IS rent. This, at 4 per
cent, would pay the interest on $780,
900 worth of bonds, and so the adj
ditional annual charge upon the
Library fund would be very small in
deed, a thousand dollars OF so, and
this would, in another year or two,
be forthcoming from the increase
under the present law in the annual
allowance to the Library growing out
of increase in city ratables.
We hope to see the project taken
up in practical shape soon, so that
building operations may begin, at
latest, upon the completion OF the
new City Hall.

Y. M. @. A. RALLY.

The members had their usual monthly
rally last night in the building. An excellent
programme was provided for the occasion.
Reports were read by Chairmen of the vari-
GUS committees, after which H. R. Hacker
sang a solo which was appreciated by the
enthusiastic audience. Mr.. H. w. Hitler of
Tiffany & Co., New York, interested the
members by giving a talk on Russia. Mr..
Hitler has spent seventeenteen years in
Russia, and understands the Russian Ian
guage thoroughly. He spoke of the habits
and customs Of the people in a very hulnor-
Gus manner. He kept his audience in an up
roar of laughter all the time. After a vote
of thanks to Mr.. Hitler for so kindly enter
PERTAINING the members, ice cream was
served.

Wanted-A Library BuiIding.I

The very best feature of the Public
Library report, to which we gave much
space yesterday, was the announce
ment that s25, 900 had been set aside
out of the allowances made by the
city to establish a building fund.
Some additions increase the sum to
$27, 500. and this is invested in or upon
Jersey City securities until such time
as the Trustees see their way to pro-
vfding a permanent home for the in
stitution.
The sooner this is done, the better.
The enormous popularity of the LII
brary is shown in the tables of pat
rons and circulation. 1t is M of the
fixed institutions of the city. 1t is
now as firmly established in the life of
the people as the public water supply.
If it was a mere experiment. for a year
or two, it is now an absolute public
necessity. 1t is here to stay, and all
future considerations of its oncerns
must be made on this basis.
The Librarian tells us in his report
that the capacity of the library for
shelving books is already strained.
Yet every year must increase the
number of volumes to be accommo-
dated. The library must keep up
with the times and with the public
demands. The accommodation for
borrowers is crude and inconvenient
in the present quarters-no reproach
to the management; it is impossible
to do better with the available space.
The Reference Department is a mere
cubby hole, dark and inconvenient
and noisy to a degree, which makes
serious work impossible in it; this also
is beyond mending in the present
quarters.
But, apart from the needs of the
library itself, we should be in favor
of new library building. We often
dwell on the desirabiIity of beauti-
flying the city. This place has been
much injured abroad by a reputation
for ugliness and dinginess. The repu-
tation has been we'll deserved until
recently. In the last five years, more
slightly buildings have been put up
than ever before, and every n adds
to the future prospects of the place.
We want attractiveness in our streets
to make a favorable impression on
visitors, so that they may go away
and speak pleasantly of the city, and
thus break up the prejudice which
makes people nov TO Brookly n and
Yonkers and Orange and Ne wark,
while they scof at the mere ma me of
Jersey City.
We want these handsome buildings
down town, where strangers are sure
to see them, and whether they are
put up by private or public enter
prise does not matter. Our City Hall
is one great step in the right direc-
ton. Our new armory-though 1t is
on the Hills a good thing. We
want a new Post Office, and the new
Library will help in iirst-rate style.
Private parties who put up buildings
deserve the thanks and support OF the
community, and public officials who
show similar enlightenment and en-
rerprise deserve general endorsement
and support.
The building project is really not a
very formidable one. The 1877, 500
ought to suffice to buy the necessary
land. or even more. A first rate
building could be erected and fur

FIXED IN POPULAR FAVOR.
The Coat, Simple or Elaborate.
Seems to BE Here to Stay.

Satin and MORE are beth much used at
present, satin being the more serviceable of
the two unless the best quality of MORE is
purchased. Since independent waists have
obtained such a vogue, a black silk or satin
skirt is almost a desideratum, as it may ap-
propriately accompany a house or a theater'
bodice or be worn with one of the full
skirted coats now so fashionable. Satin
faced velvets and plushes-for plush is
again forcing its way to the front-are often
used for coats and capes, as the satin back
does away with the necessity for a lining.
Brocade is of course equally appropriate
for these garments. The coats are cut with
the umbrella skirt one with the bodice, or
the skirt may be sewed on just below the
waist line. Revers are an almost invaria-
BILE feature. Passementerie jet and lace are
the favorite trimmings, with large buttons
for the coat itself and small ones to match
for the sleeves. These buttons come in
painted porcelain, steel and mother of pearl
and are also used TO ornament skirts.
Many coats lave double or treble basques,
but the single skirted variety is less stiff
and more becoming to most persons. A

Word from Silver City, Idaho, is to the
effect that the Indians who have been
hunting in the Juniper mountains have
not confined themselves to slaughter of
wild animals. and some OF the citizens of
Owyhee are said to be very nervous In
consequence A few days ago a China
man was found dead in the mountains in
the vicinity where the Indians have been
hunting. The celestial had been shot
throu Oh the eye, and his bo4y had been
nut Hated after the fashion Of the Indians.
Every indication pointed to the murder
of the Ghinaman by the Indians, and
much bitter feeling has been stirred up
over the affair This feeling has been in
tensified bv the attitude of the red devils
towards Cane Warden Johnson. The
warden, hearing of the wholesale killing
OF game by the Indians, started out 10
put stop TO the wanton slaughter. The
Indians, hearing of his coming, sent him
word they would xiii him # he attempted
to interfere Mr.. johnson did moi inter
tere. The feeling in Owyhee is SAID TO be
very strong against the Indians, and, If
the latter be not bustled back onto their
reservations, it would not be
to hear of the sudden mIgra-
tion of some of those brayes TO the happy
hunting grounds.

The Kiickitat Railr .aa.

In speaking of the Vancouver and
North Yakima railroad, which, it is ex-
pected, will be constructed to its terminus
in Eas Washington this summer, Colonel
E. b. Wise, Of Goldendale, says;
"rhis line will open UP great timber
belt, IN addition TO the valuable coal
fields. He further says that if this line
should not be carried TO a completion, a
line could be built from it, on the
Columbia river. direct in northeastern
direction up the Big Kickitat to low
pass over TO North Yakima A short
branch could he run north into the coal
fields and one south to Goldendale. He
also believes that an amicable arrange
ment could be made with the new man
agement Of the Oregon Railway & Nayi-
CATION for the transfer to Mosier and the
running of trains into Portland from tha t
point. Should satisfactory arrange
ment not be made, the locks will lie open
next year, and a connecting boat could be
run from Lyle right into Portland. The
colonel is quite sangpine that Klickltat
valley will be tapped by this route some
day."
