LIBRARIAN SpoFEoRD

While Mr. Ainsworth r. Spofford, who
mas been librarian of the Library of Congress
for about a quarter of a century, admits a
distressing confusion of the business feat
ures of his office, no on, who knows that
gentleman's unvarying reputation will be-
Ieve the sensational assertions published
IN one or two newspapers, charging actual
dishonesty. until they are substantiated
by much better authority than has yet been
cited.
Mr. Spofrord may be blamed for neglecting
TO make the fact of his inadequate force Of
assistants plainer in his reports to Congress
He may even be blamed with a carelessness
IN relation to business details which is nat
pral in persons of his profoundly studious
palure. Bat not until he is formally charged
with :nisdoing, and brought to book for it,
will the public, who have known his char
uctcr and worth, believe that the great Lii
brarian would take one cent which was not
his own for his own use With such man
such an act would seem to be an absolute
imroSsibility.

Droop Building Accident.

Editor Times:
In your valued issue of yesterday evening
we notice that under the heading Crashed
10 the Sidewalk" you give an account OF
the balcony ON the third floor of our new
building giving away.
We wish TO correct the erroneous impress
sion which many of your readers may have
derived from this by stating that it was
not the balcony nor a ''4OG-pound section"
of il which fell to the ground, but one of the
cast-iron pa neis, weighing about 120
pounds, which fell through the carelessness
of one of the workmen. We do not think
that condemnation. If any, should be laid
AT the feet of the contractor and builder,
for the ironwork should have been I'm po-
sition many weeks ago, and 1t would hardly
be fair to expect the builder to retain all
the scaffolding and sheds on this account
We consider ourselves very lucky that
what might have been such a terrible ac-
cident went off with no worse results than
bad scare TO the pedestrians md a smashed
iron panel. +. F. DROOP & SONS

Philadelphia, Aug. 21.-The steel steam
ship Comanche will be launched at Cramps

every respect the highest class steamship
ever built for the. coasting trade, in

She is 325 feet long. 46 feet beam and 80

She has accommodate for 900 passen-
gers, and is fitted and equipped in every
way equal to the best and most modern
Atlantic liners. Her machinery is of the
four-cylinder quadruple expansion type
working steam at 200 pounds pressure,
and developing power sufficient to make
her the fastest ship on the coast.
1t is worthy of remark that the ComaDche

SENATOR ouAY,s VICTORY

No doubt seems 10 be entertained by
the friends of Senator Quay that he will
have complete control of the PENNSYLVANIA
State convention which will meet next
week The primaries at Philadelphia
yesterday apparently made this assurance
doubly sure, as the Senator secured up
ward of twenty-five delegates out of the
seventy-six which viii represent the
Quaker city, when not more than five or
six bad been conceded. This is a tremen-
dous blow between the eyes for what is
euphoniously termed the hog combine"
and, as the Quay supporters assert, will
result in a desertion TO the Quay ranks
of many delegates who are not instructed
in all parts of the Old Keystone State
This result, while it looks on the sur
face like a merely personal victory for
Senator Quay and the old Republican
political machine, which has dominated
the State for more than thirty years,
with but few restful intervals means
that and something more. American sense
of fair play dctests ingratitude and treach-
cry. and2if ever such feeling were shown
exhibited in the attempts of Magec, Has
tings, Martin, Gilkeson and the rest of
them to break the power of Quay as 4
manipulation of political schemes. No mat
ter how the phrase "hog combine orgi-
mated, and no matter how indicate it
sounds, it seems 10 be appropriate.
Ii the combine had been able 10 offer
to the people of the State anything better
than Quayism or Cameronism, it's forget
fulness of benefits received from .'thc old
man" might have been forgiven. But the
open and indecent treachery of these indi-
viduais had for its plain purpose nothing
more exalted than n selfish Gatcrminat.es
to boss things in their own interests
and thrust Quay into lasting retirement
Every member of the combine was a
political child of Quay. The story of the
base ingratitude of the daughters of King
Lear becomes respectable by comparison
when one contemplates the conduct of such
men as Hastings, Gilkeson, Martin and
Warwick, and it will crafty even those
living remote from the scene OF action TO
hear that Martin and Warwick were de-
feated in their own divisions in Philadei-
phia and that Quay will have a decisive
INA jority in the convention

KAISER w1LHELM CANAL.
Its valne to Commerce Calculations
Made by Stafisticfaus.

Made by Stafisf tcians.
= statisticians have calculated that the
commerce between the North and Baltic
600 tons, says Harper's Weekly. 1t is
calculated that fully fwosthirds of this
shipping will use the canal in, due time.
The saving per ton for those vessels which
use the waterway instead of passing around
Denmark's coast Is estimated a an average
OF 25 cents u ton. This will comc chiefly
from reduced coal consumption and the
shortening of time. The distance saved
in q journey from Hamburg To the Baltic
will be 425 miles: from Amsterdam, Rot
terdam, Antwerp, Dunkirk. and London
will be FROM 236 to 23s miles The time
for passing through for steam craft at
about five and one-half miles per hour will
be thirteen hours, and for sailing craft, by
the use OF tugs. from two to three days
1t Is estimated that the caDal will attract
commerce from every port south OF Hull,
England. Scotch shipping would save only
from 100 to 15O miles by passing through.
This would be small advantage, owing to
the length Of time required for the passage
There Is regular steamship traffic between
the two seas, to whose advantage it would
be to use the canal of $50, 600 tons month,
or 5000, 900 tons a year.
A weightieradvaDtage than the mere saw
ing OF money Is the safety of theAew water
way. The Danish and wedisii coasts, with
the immense traffic passing through the
skager-Rack, and the frequency of fogsand
violent storms, arr places most dreaded by
navigators. From 1858 to 1855 no less than
8 16 vessels were lost Oh these coasts. The
average Is 200 year and the loss of life is
unusually large.
