A moyement has been started among the
patrons of aquatic sports in New London,
Conn, to establish an American Henley,
and the idea is meeting with much favor
among all classes of citizens.
The plan is to have n series of rcgattas
conducted on the same lines rs the great
EnglishvS vSSntests and lasting whole week.
Local oarsmen are particularly enthusiastic
over the prospect Of international races on
the American Thames, and the matter has
been brought to the attention of the board
of trade, with the hope of securing tho in
terest and support of the business mon.
That they will not be slow in giving i'm
mediate and substantial assistance to the
projectors Of the enterprise Is evidenced by
the unsolicited offer from Mcssrs. Blanch-

House, who inform the board of trade that
they will subscribe 5000 as nucleus fer

of the failure of philanthropic Englishmen

FairI'lay for WeyIcr.

Gen. WeyIer ought to be looking around
for new reasons for abusing the insurgents.
strong feature of the Weyler campaign
has been the abuse hurled at Gomez and
Mdceo because those two astute generals
insisted upon guerrilla methods in their en-
dedyOrs TO make things uncomfortable for
the Spanish troops. The Weyler demand
has been for battles; real battles, in which
he could apply a few of the principles laid
down by JOmini and other professors of
the art of strategy. To that demand the
Cuban leaders paid no attention until re-
Gently. because large proportion of their
forces were without the necessary arms.
Several successful expeditions having pro-
Vide1 the Cubans with the munitions of
war, Gen. Maceo concluded to give Gen.
Weyler the sort of a fight fer which the
Spanish commander has been praying
The first encounter was encouraging, to
the Cubans, SO Gen. Maceo decided to fol-
low up his victory at Guanes with move
nlents that accorded with regulation the
disregard of which had caused Weyler so
much distress. The result was a Cuban
victory at San Bias and, later, a rushing
defeat for the Spaniards at Lechuza. These
triumphS were brought about by Maceo's
cleverness in massing his men so as to out
number that particular division OF the
enemy which he desired to attack; old tao
tics, but just good today as they ever
were.
Now that the Cubans have gratified
Weyler by fighting real battles there will
doubtless be other ground for complaint
Perhaps the Captain-general will appeal to
his great and good friend in the White
House to the end that the number of Cubans
in any engagement shall never exceed the
number of Spaniards arrayed against them
The President really ought to see that Wey-
Ter has fair-play.

a Public Library in Washington

From the Chicago Times Herald
a measure for the establishment Of a
free public library and reading room in the
District of Columbia has been pending in
Congress for some time past
As originally introduced into and passed
by the Senate the bill provided that the
library should be maintained equally at
the expense of the general government and
of the District of Columbia, as the current
expenses of the District in other respects
are divided.
When the bill came before the House an
amendment was adopted providing that
all the expenses of tn, maintenance of the
library, including the salaries of the en-
ployes, should be charged upon the reve-
nues of the District of Columbia The bill
then went back to the Senate, which re-
fused to concur in the amendment, and a
conference was requested A motion in the
House to recede from the amendment
failed to pass, so that the bill is now in
conference.
There is no doubt that the bill as passed
by the Senate is perfectly acceptable to
the country at large. Nobody can deny
that there is an obligation resting upon
the government Oh the United States TO
make the capital of the nation a city
worthy of a generous people, fully abreast
with the spirit of the times. 1t should be
an educational center. well as political
and fashionable center. Out of it's vast
public domain the government has granted
untold millions of property for the estab-
II
the states, for our liberties are founded
upon edu, alton and intelligence.
Why. then, should not the government
contribute also 10 the establishment Of a
free library. one of the most approved
educational forces, for the people of the
District? Nor would it be for them only
Every year large numbers of our people,
drawn by business or pleasure. reside for
months at the capital. many having their
families with them. The privileges Of a
public library would be to these in many
instances an inestimable boon.
Books have come to be in this country
not luxuries, but necessities of life and
both young and old demand them. No
public money is better spent than that
which is laid out for the maintenance Of
libraries, end where they have once been
established no consideration could IL duce
the people to give them up. No taxa lion
Is more cheerfully paid than that which
supports them, and it is because of these
things that the government should do its
part in establishing the library In WASH
ington.
The House should recede from its amend
ment and agree to the Senate bill,
