TEE FREE LIBRARY PROJECT.

The effort to give Washington free cir
culating library deserves earnest support.
No other city in the country of any impor-
tance is without such beneficial institu-
ton, and there are several smaller cities
with more than one of these public dispen-
sers of general information. After 4:30
p. m. the departmental Libraries and the
great library of Congress are closed, and
there is no place in the city where clerk
or mechanic, or any person in search of
literary entertainment can spend an even
ing in self-deyelopment, to say nothing of
the privilege OF taking books home to the
family circle.
More than four months ago Gen. Greely
reported to the Librarians Associa-
ton that he had over. 81 900 a yeaI
subscribed for five years TO maintain
library. In January that sum had grown
considerably and it was stated that the
library would be opened sometime in Feb
ruary.
Last Friday evening the committee met at
Gen. .Greely' shome efortbepurpose ofsecuring
further subscriptions. But few persons
werepresent and onlya about $ 100 wereadded
to the amount already subscribed.
There must be more energy and work put
into the effort or Washington can never
have free library. More frequent meetings
must be had, thepress should take the matter
up and an enthusiasm aroused in favor of
the project. Those in charge are evidently
in earnest but their attempts to bring the
matter before the pubic Seem to be confined
TO parlor meetings and social confab. Leta
more systematic effort be made, or else
turn the work over TO some one else. The
library is a necessity and the project should
not be smothered by neglect.

LAwLEssNRss ACROSS THE RIVER.

The outlaw track seems deter mined to
retain control OF the Alexandria county
legal machinery. Both parties have NOM
mated candidates, one in the interests of
refer m and the other to perpetuate soul
dugGery and uffianism. The reform party,
supposed 10 be supported by the better
element, is TO be divided by rival candi-
dates so as TO make theyictory OF the outlaw
party less expensive and more certain.
1t is believed that this move on the part
OF the outlaw managers was unnecessar y
from political point of view, inasmuch as
their party il in the majority. But from
the standpoint of economy it is cheaper TO
divide the reform forces by placing oppos
ing candidates in the field, than to purchase
several hundred votes, as must be done
without the rivaIry in the reform party.
The name of Washington ought TO burn
the tongues of the scalawags who disgrace
Alexandria county. The soil of that time
honored part of Virginia should scorch
the feet OF the residents who connive at
perpetRating crime and lawlessness. The
sight of our Capitol ought TO blind the
scamps who allow themselves to be pur-
chased to defeat the law, and no punish
ment is commensurate with the offense
Of those who deliberately debauch and
swindle the young men of Washington.
Law abiding, Sc lf-respecting people
across the river must rally their forces
or suffer defeat. BY united action and a
vigilant oversight of the polls they can
rescue this county from IRwlessness, and
Every attempt to violate the election law
shou Id meet prompt prosecution. 1t
would be cowardly to tamely submit to
curther domination of ruffianism, and for
that reason every person in Alexandria
county who desires law and order should
begin work against the candidates of the
outlaw party.

THE POOR MANS MONEY.

Much is being said about the poor mans
money, and both silver and anu-siver ad-
vocates claim to recommend that necessity
The silverites insist that money must be
cheap aud plentiful to insure good times,
while their opponents say that cheap money
creates distrust aud rctards business prog
ress. Both are right and both wrong, from
their respective standpoiuts, for money
should be plentiful enough TO supply all de-
mands OF trade, but not so cheap as to be
deprecated when compared TO the money
used by other nations.
The poor mans money is that which pro-
NOTES prosperity aud provides employ
ment TO wage-earners. The rich mans
money is the kind that brings about busi-
ness depression and financial stress, and
gives opportunity for speculaung in the
misfortuues Of Others. one guarantees
stability OF trade, reliable prices and ready
markets; the other, because Of its fluctuat-
ing value, destroys confidence, retards in
vestment and prevents thrift, except among
money lenders and speculators.
Bimetallism by International agreement
would be the poor man money. The use OF
both gold and silver would prevent
spectators from cornering the market aud
materially changing the value OF either
metal Each would act as foil against
fluctuation, provided both metals were
universally accepted at legalized ratio.
But national free silver, misuamed national
bimetallisnn, would not be the poor mans
sIE,s-.
on silver basis, depreciate our currency,
destroy confidence, disrupt prices, bring on
panic and throw the poor man out OF work.
IT is claimed that the United States, by
adopting free coinage, could force up the
price OF silver and maintain it al a parity
with gold. Were this possible We could
have national bimetaIlism, but a glance at
the situation VIII prove otherwise. The
price Of silver is fixed in London, where
q gold standard prevails. With our mints
at full capacity we could coin only about
10000 goo Of silver; the worlds pro-
1uction in 1892 was SI96, ,45O 900. There
fore free silver in this country would not
affect the market nor force silver to a
parity with gold
AT present the amount OF silver in a silver
dollar IS worth only SO cents. The fact that
il can be redeemed in gold makes its pur-
chasing power equal to gold dollar. De-
stroy The fiat OF At cents by adopting a silver
basis aud il would require nearly two silver
dollars To buy what can now be bought for
one. Initiate prices by forcing gold TO pre-
MUM, stop business Investments, and set
the money shark al work gathering spoils
from business disafter, and you viii have
the results OF national free silver, and the
rich mans money.

the entrance of the wedding party, the
ushefs formed in line and, followed by the
attendants, and last of all by the BRIDE
leaning onthe arm oft1e relative who was to
give her hand in marriage, had proceeded
half way down the aisle when the sexton
discovered the state Of affairs. Quick as
thought he ran around to the robing room
and bursting in upon the astonished trio
OF men announced that the wedding party
was already half way down the aisle,
while the organ was playing Mendels-
'ohn's joyous music for all it was worth.
CONSERVATION so deep one might have
cut 1t with knife regned for an instant,
but for ali Instant only; for almost before
the next bar OF the weddings music was
played DR.. Mackay-Smith had risen to the
emergency. With all speed he hastened
the groom and best mau out OF the robing
room just in time to have them meet the
BRIDE as she reached the head Of the aisle.
Then slowly, majestically, as though it
was the latest fad in wedding professions,
the rector i'll his white surplice with the
scarlet Oxford hood hanging from his
shoulders, waited until the eutire wed
ding party had formed at the chancel step
and marched III from the robiIg room to
ascend the steps aud perform the marriage
service for the two who silently quaked in
their shoes, not knowing in what manner
the tangle was unrayelled.
Meanwhile the guests looked on with
smiling appreciation, little guessing that
the innovation was as genuine a surprise
10 all parties most nearly concerned as it
was To them.

A SENSATION SPOILED.

He sauntered into the sanctum with
sort of ''you can't-turn-me-down air
about him, and opened business by remarking
that he was prepared to furnish sensa-
tions at a moments notice. I'm man
of experience and experiences" he re-
marked, as he pulled a wad of manuscript
from his pocket, ''nothing's too daring for
me TO undertake"
The oYerworked editor stopped earning
his salary long enough to inquire into the
nature OF his visitors stock of thrills"
"Well, here's an article entitled From
Health to Hydrophobia and Back Again by
the Pasteur Route'-I had myself bitten by
a mad dog especially to write up my ex-
periences."
That's out of date-one of our staff of
writers had two ounces of corrosive subli-
mate inserted in his veins-he writes our
caustic editorials forus now" said the copy
reader.
''How would this strike you-'Three
Nights in a spook Incubator-Snap Shots of
Celebrated Shades'-I got this pompadour
through that experience"
Cant use it, over half our subscribers
are spiritualists; can't afford to make
light of their beliefs"
do you-that is-er any of your staff
ever been buried alive
'Yes, thesporting editor. Hewas knocked
down by a foul ball and buried with un-
seenlly haste, but delegation of his cred
itors dug him up and resuscitated him in
time for his story TO appear in the Sunday
edition. Our office boy also received 1000
volts

only yesterday that l went over TO the
Alexander Island race track with $4.00

"Whatl' The editor was all attention.;
-You say that you got away with more
than you took overt Sit right down and
grind out a column on that exploit and
give explanatory diagrams as to how you
did it, if necessary"
But the article was never written. The
story was devoid OF sensation He ad-
mitted that he borrowed $50 90 from a
friend and left before the game began.

PERMANENT RELIEF FOR THE POOR.

Independent OF whatever course the Com
missioners may ultimately decide upon with
reference 10 permanent relief of the poor,
the Board OF Trade has taken the matter
in hand and determined to try the Detroit
and Indianapolis plans, both Of which were
explained in The Times yesterday morning.
Both plans are commendable in that the
element OF pure alms-giving is eliminated
from them. The underlying principle in
each is that men shall earn what they re-
Quire for their living. They are thus saved
from becoming mere mendicants and are
enabled TO maintain their self-respect.
The connections Of the Board of Trade
ought 10 make the execution of either or
both these plans comparatively easy. The
objection made III some quarters against the
Detroit plan, that there are not enough
vacautlots in the District for potato patches,
has not much force. II is altogether prob
able that there is a sufficient number Of
such places within the District limits, and
in any event, all the land needed for the
purpose can be found in the Maryland coun-
6les Immediately adjoining the District.
If the central relief committee, to whom
the task Of formulating permanent relief
plan has been nconfidedby the Commissioners,
should favor either ofthe schemes sadoptedby
She two bodies might be practicable and
result most advantageously TO those it is
intended TO benefit

The Evening News is an enterprising,
thrifty paper, full of bright ideas and orig

gadocio that THE original suggestions
made by the News few days since that
the national conventions to nominate the
Democratic and Republican candidates for
the Presidency in 1896 be held in wash

ton was borrowed. On April 16 The

Trade to arrange to bring the conventions

this subject.

NICARAGUA MUST SETTLE.

Great disappointment is felt among the
5ingo element because this country has al
lowed Euglandto employ severe remeasurest to
collect indemnity from an irresponsible
republic. Nicaragua is evidently, play
ing a bluff game OF she would consent to
Euglauds ultimatum and arrange a settle
meut without further delay. The demand
OF England, under the circumstances, is
not excessive, aud the payment Of $4,000
indemnity and the appointment Of com
mission TO assess damages TO English sub
3ects is not uureas sonable.
Generally speaking, South American
republics are impudent and troublesome.
They presume on their inferiority for pro-
lection from foreign attack, and snap at the
heels Of greater nations like saucy ter
rlers whenever called to account for mis-
treating foreign subjects. Our own com
plication with Chill, win substantiate this
assertion They have also been led TO
believe that the Monroe Doctrine is a
sort OF a bulwork against European in
reference, and that the United States
Is pledged by that instrument to defend
them against European nations.
The refusal OF the United States to in
terfere with England in her attempt TO
bring Nicaragua to terms viii do much
70 destroy this sentimental nonsense.
This country cannot afford to fight the
battles OF the South American republics,
especially when they are in the wrong.
Nor should we embroil ourselves with any
commercial nation, except on extreme
provocation. The United States must be
for peace and prosperity, and not for debt
and destruction, for that is the result OF
war.
Let England hold onto Corinto until she
collects her debt. Nicaragua must event

There was a great scare among the fash
ionabes OF the West End who enjoy card
playing to the extent of meeting almost
every evening at the house of one Of the
leading spirits. The fact that these card
pfrties were of almost nightly occur
renee, and that there were some interest
ing, il wild, rumors as TO the amounts
that changed hands while the playing
was in progress, was enough for some of
the male friends in the club to get up
a little game on the card players not down
in the latters' calculation.
First there were whispers OF the weird
est description, containing inuendo that
gradually assumed tangible form and
shape. These were to the effect that the
house in question was under the suTveil
lance OF the police, and that a raid was
to be expected at any time. Anything so
awful as that was decidedly out of the
reckoning of the ladies, as it meant public
disclosures OF the most undesirable kind
and All amount of talk and gossip in the
papers that was To be avoided at any price.
Accordingly the little games OF cards
wese actually abandoned for some time
and the West End house, which had, prior
To that time, shone forth into the blackness
OF the night like beacon light, was closed
and daTkened as an extra precaution against
the police. When this statement of facts
reaches the eyes OF those most nearly con-
cerned they Will for the first time learn
the real tru TIA of the matter.
