A LIBRARY DAY.

Some years ago the state of Nebraska
established day tor tree planting, and
the movement was received with such
favor everywhere that Arbor day has
come to be one of quite general observ-
ance in "A large number OF the states Of
the Union. This year Nebraska has start
ed another movement, which is quite as
worthy as that Of tree planting, and may
become quite as popular and widely OBJ
served as Arbcr day now is. The 2lst OF
October has been set aside as Library
day. The movement originated in a
teachers institute in 1892. and was taken
up by the state association of teachers
and made a state affair. On the day men
toned each teacher in the county Is ex-
pected to make especial effort to make its
observance general and TO establish and
add to the nucleus OF a library in the
school house In which he or she presides.
The idea has been received with favor.
and the public everywhere throughout
the state has been asked to respond TO
the call for assistance in accomplishing
the work OF building up small libraries.
Public libraries have. year by year. come
10 be regarded as very important supple
ments to the common school education OF
today. In all the larger cities they are
closely associated with school work. and
especial regulations have been drawn up
with a view OF meeting the needs and re-
aulrements or the school children In all
the leading cities and towns taxpayers
cheertully contribute for the support OF
free libraries which are in a measure
adjuncts OF the schools in promoting pop
ular education. But In the rural districts
these advantages cannot be obtained. and
the Library day movement has been start
ed really in the interest Of the localities
in the country. Great libraries cannot.
OF course. be expected 20 grow up in
country school houses. but small and Sc
lcct collections OF books can be built up
which cannot fan 20 be OF great value
10 the school districts in charging the
opportunities for acquiring general and
useful information and cultivating a taste
for good. wholesome reading.

LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE.

The city council has taken preliminary
steps toward submitting the question Of
mourning an Indebtedness of Si.250.Ooo TO
the people. This is as IL should be. The
constitution has done all that is possible
TO preserve TO the taxpayers the right to
determine by direct vote, YES" or mo"
whether they are willing to be subject TO
payment OF heavy debt. They have to
bear the burden and they should have the
right to accept or reject II.
Between this time and the day OF cleo
ton they viii have ample opportunity to
think over the matter. and II at the end
of that time a sufficiently large number
think they would like to incur the debt,
such Is their privilege, and that viii be
the law Those who consider Il unwise
to add to the liabilities of the city at pres
ent viii be compelled to bow TO the poular

IL Is, nevertheless, a most serious mat
ter, and IL in the end we must break down
Ike Elizabeth, ~. j., or Tacoma, under
the crushing weight of a reckless indebt-
edness, 1t will not be without a solemn
warning. We are solvent now, but We
must meet the day OF reckoning.

class people-for, ridiculous as it may
sound, and deeply as they may resent 1t,
there is middle class. compared with
the reigning families here. But as far as
these latter people are concerned, Capt.
Mahan does not exist. 1t is revelation
of one of the queerest phases Of Newport
life that this man, so renowned in Eu-
rope, as well as in this country, who has
been the guest of queens and emperors,
should come here and receive no attention
whatever from the really important peo-
pie who probably never heard of him."

cause OF this unseemiy state OF affairs"
1t is true that very unfortunate condi-
ton exists; bur no conscientious Judge
could have done otherwise than Judge
Iianford did when IL became manifest that
the court assuming Jurisdiction had so far
exceeded its powers as TO threaten serious
complications. At any time, and In any
court through which the railroad runs. the
question might have been raised and IL
must have been decided the same way.
SO far from taking advantage of the op-
ening afforded and appointing three re-
