A Free Library for washinston.


Wash. Cor. New York Times
That public library. and free one.
would be good thing for Washington is
an assertion that needs no argument. The
Library of Congress was intended for the
Congress. not for a library of circulation
The employees in the departments are fur
nished the opportunity to get some books
departments, small affairs, made up in
great part of fiction, and altogether
amounting to SO many repetit.ons. If the
collections in these departmental libraries
were turned over to a free library they
would not amount to much But to stop
replenishing them would relieve the gov
ernment Of an expense not contemplate in
the aggregate. 1t Is probable that the
money expended for them in year would
more than supply free library with the
foreign periodical literature which is not
to be found IN any Of the departmental Ii
braries or in the Congressional Library. 1t
Is safe to say that II there were established
such free library as the promoters of the
Washington library contemplate. it would
become much more popular and useful to
the people than d the Congressional Lii
brary. The best use to which the Congress
s.onal Library is put is to help the MEM
bers Of the House and the Senate to for
tify themselves for speaking on any given
subject that the members may decide to
investigate and illustrate. There Is much
reason to fear that they do not put the IL
brary to any more thorough use than they
have int:mated by their action on the free
library bill. for the study Of the library
would have inculcated a more catholic and
tolerant spirit than has been brought to
the discussion of the free library proposi-
tion. The Senate has yet to pass on the
matter, and 1t Is probable that the MEM
bers Of that body will benefit by the COM
ments made since the House passed the IL
brary bill. with such vexatious conG tons
to the taxpaying public.

What n Fire May Do.

The fire which damaged AIarini's Hall
yesterday morning and destroyed some Of
the records of the Census Office was one
more argument against the unbusinessiixe
methods common in the conduct of publi.
affairs. intent, mainly, on purely political
concerns, the national legislature has paid
practically no attention to the many
official reports which have condemned the
expensive and unsatisfactory practice of
renting tinder-box buildings for govern
ment Use. 1t has been many times sug-
gested that hall of records should be
erected, in which could be stored papers
that could not possibly be accommodated
in the various departments. but as there
uid not appear to be any partisan ad-
vantage in the proposition it invariably
failed to be anything more than an idea
to which no one could offer any reasonable
objection Some of these days a conflagra-
ton will eat up several tons of valuable
documents-and they won't be Congress
sional Records either-and then with all
haste the House and Senate will proceed
to give US parallel to that act which is
commonly termed locking the stable door
after the horse has been stolen"

when he should have done 50. All Of last
summer and fall, when the stubborn and
growing character Of the revolt was more
than plain and should have shown him that
sooner or later this government would be
obliged to take cognizance Of 1t, the way
was open to him. A secret mission, with
cut risk to anybody, could have been exc
cuted. The regulations of General Campos
admitted of free passage. to and fro. be-
tween the two camps. Any man Of discre-
ton. with or without a military education,
could haYe gene to the island, inspected it
from end to end. and have returned here
with all the Information the President
would have needed or could have desired.
1t Is by no means certain that this was
not suggested to the President.
But now. of course, everything is chang
ed. Not only would General Weyler's or
ders make mission of any kind, secret or
open. impossible, but the relations between
spain and the United States forbid even
the serious suggestion OF such a step.
1t IS, anyhow. vain thing to pretend that
the President, or Congress- needs any fur
ther information respecting affairs in Cuba
10 authorize the granting of belligerent
rights to the insurgents. The size and
the helplessness Of the Spanish army on
the island testify to the size and the power
OF the insurgent army. and as for the cause
for the revolt, this government has all the
information necessary to awaken the iiveli-
est sympathy Of the people. This sym
pathy exists. and but for obstruction offer
ed in the Senate would sometime since
have Teen officially expressed.
1t will be expressed in the end in spite
of this obstruction. Those who have set
colx h.
aspirations of the Cubans by withdrawing
from them that to which they have the
highest claim here will fail, and will de
serve to fall. They are awaiting no infor-
nation. They may not SO intend 1t, but
their attitude Is tantamount to a declara-
ton that the matter. in any aspect. is not
the business Of the United States: that
Spain owns Cuba, and may do with her
own. both land and people, what she likes
