WORK IN HARMONY

NOW that the trustees for the free public
library have been appointed by the Com
missoners, and all parties in interest are
represented on the board, it is to be hoped
that whatever differences have existed
up to this time viii be arranged and the
work carried forward in harmony and
with the sole aim to make the underta king
successful. 1t is work of such great
Importance and far-reachipg usefulness
that the gentlemen called to manage it
can well afford TO set aside all minor and
personal considerations and devote them
selves, with total disregard of self. to the
object to be achieved. There should be
no difficulty for them TO reach an under
standing upon disputed points, especially
as they are all animated by common
wish, namely, to give Washington free
public library as soon as possible and
have it in good working order by the
time the next District estimates are sent
to Congress.
Everybody recognizes the fact that WASH
ington ought to have q free public library
as 6oou as any III Tue eOuutIy. WDlIe IL Is
stated in the act to be supplementary to
the public school system OF the District, IT
should, and will ultimately, fulfil the
function of like institutions in other cities
1t will serve the resident as well as the
visitor, and its treasures will be sought
by themerchant as We'll as by the mechanic,
by the student as well as by the profess
sional man. In order to make 1t equal to
all demands that may be made upon it,
the foundation should be laid wisely and
firmly, and this can best be done IL those
TO whom the task has been entrusted will
take counsel tcgether and labor bar
moniously to the desired end.
Such differences as have been reported-to
exist cannot be irreconcilable, for when
men who have the same object at heart
meet in the proper spirit. determined TO let
no trifles stand in the way of accomplishing e
a given purpose, the apparent obstacles are
easily removed II the gentlemen selects,
by the Commissioners approach their work
in this manner, it will not be long before
they have the free library in good working
order.

GoUGING THE DISTRICT.

The charge upon the District for the
damages in the Potomac Flats case is
simply an outrage. Which was committed
uDnoticcd in the rush of the closing hours
of the session. The land taken was used
for the improvement of the Potomac River
and the title thereto is vested in the
to do with it in one way or another.
As well might Congress charge any State
with the cost of land necessary to be ac-
quired for the Improvement of any of its
rivers. There would he just a much JUS
uce in such a proceeding as in making
the land taken for improving the Potomac.
The protest filed by the Commissioners
with the warrant for the amount is alto
getIier proper
When the matter is brought to the at
tention Of Congress at the next session
that body will undoubtedly undo the wrong
inflicted upon tile taxpayer of the Dis
trict. 1t is bad enough to make US pay
all for some things where we should only
pay oDc-haif. but SO long as the object
of appropriations is something over which
the District has some control it is not
quite SO bad. But wiien it comes to taking
money from the local treasury for some

rests exclusively in the United States, it

This particular 21st is called tie su,niner
sostice which in ordinary English means
that the sun is at standstiii, The days
will now begin TO grow shorter and there
will undoubtedly be some consolation TO
know that the day ought TO be about one
minute shorter today than 1t was yester-
day. There are three or four days Just
preceding the 2lst and Just after il when
the length of the day Is apparently the
same as IL the sun were actually at a loss
whether to go On or to turn back.
There is nobody In Washington, with all
respert TO the astronomers, who believes
that the sun was standing still yesterday.
IL began to hustle as soon as II got up
and hustled all day until it went GOWN
over in Virginia. 1t was decidedly un-
comfortable, and would have been more
so but for the interrosition OF friendly
breeze front the South, which also hustled
and rustled all day.

,Joshua's day wasn't long enough to fill
the contract he had to exterminate the
Pbilistines. He had either to let some
of them go or have the day prolonged

TELLER AND THE PoPULIsrs.

According to a dispatch nom st. Louis. the
Populists will support Senator Teller for
the Presidency. There is nothing very SUI
prising in this announcement. 1t would be
astonishing il they did not support him.
To such a party such candidate could
not be otherwise than most welcome.
In fact, 1t has been already stated that
they are willing to throw overheard all
other planks and doctrines OF the Ocaia
or any other platform an go in for no.hing
but silver il Teller will. consent to be their
standard bearer. The question is whether
Populist cohorts in the coming campaign,
knowing that they stand for everything,
except the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver, TO which during his long political
career he has been opposed. 1t is possible.
of course, that lie and his followers may
simply conclude to place him on free
silver platform and then let the Populists,
and everybody else that wants to do so,
support him. In that event, at least.
he would not be clargeabie with having,
There is an expectation in some quar-
ters--a hope possibly shared by some Of
Mr.. Teller's associates that the Demo
cratic party may take him up and ntmi-
nate him 1T Chicago. A ncment's reflec-
tion will convince any one ti,at nothing
is less likely to happen than this. The
Democratic party tried the experiment of
the tail waggipg the deg in 1879. and it
to forget. 1t will hardly repeat the mis-
take it made with Htrace Greeley. The
Democrats have nothing to gain by select
ing the Colorado Senator as their standard
to their ranks, and il Successful on the
silver issue, tender him the Treasury port
folio. but be yond that they will not go, n
so far. If the silver men prevail at
electoral college, as was shown by the
tabulatiGn of The Times few days ago.
They will not, therefore, make Mr.. Teller
'.princcps inter principes."
In Looking at all the possibilities and
probabilities of the situation. SO far us
Mr.. Teller is CO noerned, his chief reliance.
if he expects to give his candidacy prac-
tical turn, must be the Populists, no mat

kindly to it. but no other alternative is
open to him.

Many tales are told of the mistakes made
by rural visitors in city hotels, and very
often the long bow is drawn Until il IS in
danger of swapping as1nder under the strain.
But here is one which Is absolutely truei
and which happened at the Irving House
on Sunday.
A gentleman from the regions of bucolc
simplicity, accompanied by his wife, regis
tered at the hotel, and about % O'Clock in
Intervening the clerk was confronted by the
husband, who remarked that they were
ready to retire, and who wanted to know
when the bed was to be put into theirroom.
A bcilboy was dispatched to show the
verdant guests how the folding bed oper-
ated, and for a period OF several minutes
all was quiet in the office when the man
from the country again putin an appearance.
He wanted to know II they couldn't have q
wash bowl and q pitcher OF water. Again
the beliboy was sent up to explain the
mysteries Of a stationary wass,stanfi.

landing OF the stairs.
It was the gentleman from the country,
who wanted to know how the 'gush-tfern
light was put out" The bellboy accom-
panied him to his room, whereupon the
countryman pointed TO the fand grenades
labelled FIRE extingYishefs," and said he
didn't know whether to throw them at the
electric light or not. The boy turned off
the light, and no further trouble cnsuetl.
But the stranger had made three trips
to the office when he might have touched
the electric call bell.

Der of persons. The oppressive heat
doubtless kept many away from the
service. in spite or It's interest and at

closest attention to the movements or the
hands and arms OF those taking part IN
the services The opening remarks were
made, passages of Scripture read- prayer
was offered, and the ritual attending the
administering Of the holy communion was
read in the sign language
The scene was a decidedly quiet, yet
solemn and impressive one. Not sound
was heard except those that were mace
iu the street.
The ante-communion service was read
by the Rev. Messrs Koebier, Dantzer. and
Cloud. The sermon was prea ched by
the Rev. A. w Mann, and was on the
words OF st. Paul, LET all thiugs be

The object OF the discourse was to show
the advantages of the prayer-book system
TO the deaf. The Rev. Mr. Mann assisted
Mr.. Koehier in the administration of the
holy communion to the silent Communicates
There were but ten to receive the sacra-
ment, the rest closely watching the ser

TWO NEGLECTED GRAVES.
Tombs of Francis Scott Key and

Posterity frequently is not particular to
remember fittingly the heroes of previous
generations. Especially is this true of
Francis Scott Key, author of the star
Spaugled Banner" whose grave has been
allowed to lie unmarked for many years
except by an Notwithstanding marble
slab. The grave is in a public cemetery
not far from Frederick, Md, and is almost
oyergrown with weeds and bushes

mark in suitable manner the grave of
the author of our only national hymn.
