FREE LIBRARY OUTLOOK.

The free public library starts with fair
prospects, considering surrounding circum-
stances. Whatever friction existed, or
was believed to exist, between the differ
ent promoters OF the movement has disap-
pearcd. personal ambitions and resentnenis
have been laid aside and all Concerned are
working harmoniously. The Washington
Library Association has rendered its store
of books for absorption by the new insti
tuition and these, with the GOO volumes
that can be obtained from the Congress
sionai Library make substantial founda-
ton on which to build. There is little doubt
t,iat the committee which is to canvass
for donations will succeed in obtaining
large number of books, magazines AMI man
uscripts that can be used either for circu-
lating or reference purposes. 1t is quite
proper, however, TO hold the collection or
books in allegiance until a temporary home
has been obtained In this matter, too, the
free library trustees will have TO rely
upon tie generosity OF the people of WASH
! ington. as no public appropriation is avail
| able. but there can hardly be u question
thai they will not be disappointed in what
| ever expectations they entertain.
Washingtonians appreciate the import
ancc of Il free public library. When the sub
icct was under discussion in Congress and
| Tire opposition to governmental support be-
| came manifest, our People speedily caused
ii TO be krown that they would prefer to
| take the burden OF maintaining the in
| stitution upon themselves rather than let
| the project fail. After the library has te-
| come established as a municipal institution
its pecuniary needs will he included in the
regular annual estimates of the Commits
sioners just like those Of any other branch
OF the local government. The library is es-
tabiIsbcd as supplementary to the public
schools; its trustees are appointed by the
Commissioners Just like TIE public school
trustees, and appropriations will have to
! I've made for the one just us well as for the
| other. Until the Cext fiscal year, however,
il will have to derend upon the generosity
| and public spirit of our citizens, both for
the procuring of home. the supply OF books
and he funds required for currentexpenses.
IL is rot probable that the trustees will
have much difficulty in finding home for
the library, and the hope may be lndulged
| that it Will he ready for business before
| Congress meets again

NOVEL SUIT AT LAW.

The brother OF Joseph Cooking, who was
lynched at Port Tobacco few days ago,
is going TO bring suit for damages against
the county where the outrage upon law
and order was committed. Action is TO be
based. upon the failure OF the sheriff to
properly protect the prisoner in his GUS
tody against the violence of the mob. The
process of the litigation will be watched
with interest, aud the final decision will be
cited us precedent, for rarely, If ever, has
such suit been instituted before. As a
general principle of law, the officials of
for the safe keeping of prisoners, but pub
lie sentiment has certainly changed in this
respect. The frequency of lynchings and
the suspicion perhaps uni ustified-that
jailers have been occasionally in collu-
sion with the mobs, have caused a feeling
TO spring up favorable to just such action
as Cooking s brother proposes to take. How
far that sentiment has taken root in Mary
land remains TO be seen.
Louisiana has recently taken an i:l-
roT;ant step in this direction. The last
legislature passed law assessing a fine
OF 5000 upon county in which pris-
oner is Violently taken from the custody of
the authorities and lynched, and it is no
iiced that the statute has had most
saiutary effect. Lynchings have greatly
decreased in number In one county where
lynchings used TO happen at the rate OF
about three or four a month there has not
the statute book. This fact has made so
profound an impression that the PROPOSE
tiun to follow LoGisiana's example is Sc
rIously entertained in other States, and
it would not be surprising to see the
Pelican States statute engEafted upon sew
er;l State codes before another year passes.
Just what effect the knowledge that such
law exists and has proved an effective
remedy may have upon the jury that will
try the Cooking case remains to be seen.
1t would be matter for congratulation
il such suit as the one referred to could
be carried to u successful issue. II moral
sentiment and respect for law and order
will not restrain u community, perhaps a
violent blow upon its pocket nerve may
have the desired result. Something should
be done to check mob violence and inter
ference with the proper processes and
justice. or the day may come when all Law
will be regarded as mere form, to be
disrespected by every man according t,
his pleasure.

The controversy between organized
labor and the officials OF the Metropolitan
street Railway is dragging in an un-
pleasant and altogether uns ats factory
manner II President Phillips can sub
stantiate his statement that the dis
charged employees attempted to defeat
legislation in favor of the company, either
10y petition or otherwise, Ies him do so and
settle the dispute without further delay.
7 But, inasimuch us the employees claim his
accusation TO he untruthful, and that they
are innocent of any such charge, the
burden of proof rests with Mr.. Phillips, and
they viii! be considered as not guilty until
something besides the simple statement of
Mr.. Phillips is presented as evidence.
The worst feature of the case is the
apparent determination of the directors
to refuse To reinstate tie discharged men
under any circumstances. The fact
that they had previously Eeep faithful
servants seems to carry no weight wah
the directors and, even were an Injustice
done, they evidcntly prefer to support
tut VI ehS piSS'Ne''' sN'-N-
right such a erieyous wrong
The real cause of this stubhorDncss is
evidently the actthat the men n members
of organized labor. 1t rankles an Official
| like President Phillips to be compelled
to deal with employees except as hireliDgs
| and servants, and the independence that
an affiliation with an Organized body
| iDcucates in its members Is. in his eyes,
| serious cffense. Unless something turns
| up to alter public sentiment, he will be
regarded as an arbitrary employer and an
| unjust official. His discharge of the men
was an act of injustice and they deserve
| to either he reinstated or he furnished with
satisfactory reason for their summary
! dismissal.
