A MOVE THAT MUST COME.
Superintendent Of Schools W. W. Stetson
Cannot Say Enough for Free Libraries.

State Superintendent Of Schools, W:
W. Stetscn, was seen, Tuesday, by Jour
nal reporter, and was asked respecting the
educational advantages derived from free
libraries
Free libraries" he said, "are the very
mainstay Of popular education. The free
library IS second to no Institution except
that of the school, and so closely allied are
they in their making of the educated
young man and woman, that it is as much
the duty Of the community to establish
public libraries, as public schools.
1.-The school is continually growing, and
without an adjunct its growth is natural
!y handicapped
But, with free library in reasonably
easy access to every school, the actual
effect will be, even IN very short while, a
matter incompatible, and which can be
measured only by the practice and actual
application.
The youth of the period, find, is CON
tinually expanding in his ideas The
school sows the germ, and develops and
leads the way to the deeper sources Of in
vestigation. 1t is now, too, an era when
young people, especially, ;tre approaching
the value of the right kind of reading
90 have in mind many Instances of
libraries, which, upon becoming free,
have increased so much in their demand,
that it is simply positively alarming, and
to my thinking is but the forerunner of
the universal establishment of free insti-
buttons of this kind"

THE OTHER SIDE.
Opinion That Saturdays Meeting OF the N. l.
So A. Was Perfectly Legal.

An opinion WAS expressed Tuesday, to
journal man, that last Saturday 5
meeting of the NJ. l. S. y. A. held at
Brunswick, was legal on the following
grounds:
First: The constitution demands TINT
the meeting shall be held on the first Sat
urday of March, and that the president
has not the right to order a postponement.
Secondly: In answer to the charge
which has been made that the meeting
was Illegal on the ground that quorum
was not present it is stated that in no
place does the constitution demand that a
quorum shall be present When no such
clause is found in the constitution, ac-
cording to Reeds parliamentary rules, it
is decided that 10 quorum is necessary.

Comgressman Newiands.

Congressman .Newlands passed
through last night on his way to
Washington to be in attendance at the
convenng of Congress next Monday.
His views on legislation are given rs
follows by the Silver State:
Mr.. Newlauds will do all in his
power during the present session and
the one following to bring about leg
islatioh favorable to Nevada. He
realizes that during the next four
years nothing can be done in the in
tercst of silver. except to clear the
decks and lay the foundation for a
victory in 1900. To bring this about
he sees that it ID necessary for the
tariff question, on the lines Of the
Mckinley bill, to be given another
trial so that the American people will
be convinced that general prosperity
cannot be produced in this country
by simply Il protective tariff.
Mr.. Newlands believes in a moder-
ate protective tariff upon certain in
dustries; but in his opinion no tariff
Will bring any permanent relief to tie
general class OF people of the United
States under the single gold standard
as this nation is a debtor nation with
large sums Of interest to be paid year
ly to foreign countries, which, under
the gold standard, must be paid in
gold or in products, and if i'll prod
ucts the same must be sold at as
low price as they can be purchased
in other countries, or our creditors
will demand the gold; still he believes
it is in the interest of the silver cause
to place the burden Of bringing pros
perity upon the Republican party, at
the present time, by allowing them to
pass tariff measure. so that they will
have no argument on those lines to
confuse the mind of the voter in the
next national contest.

Republican 0uanuary.

Tho Republican managers may be
truly said to be between the devil and
the blue sea. They have elected
their President upon the promise of
making times good. Some of them
are now demanding that the green
backs be retired upon the theory that
if patient is lacking III blood, bleed
him and take away what he has.
This is the Rothschild god bug New
York Evening London limos plan.
Another wants the Sherman silver
notes retired Mt once, but the wiser
ones see only failure and political dis
aster in these plans. The Evening
Star, heretofore Mr.. Cleveland's organ
has thrown the old man overheard
and is now Mark Hanna's own. 1t
says.
Gan extra session of the Fifty fifth
Congress will be assembled as soon
rs possible after Mr.. Mckinley enters
the White House. The first thing to
be taken up at this special session
will be preliminary adjustment Of
financial questions and i'll this adjust
ment silver will be made use Of. The
probable plan will be to start with the
gradual retirement OF the greenbacE.
These greenbacks, it is thought, may
be redeemed in gold without the lssu-
ance of bonds, the retirement being
gradual. 1t is not contemplated that
at this time there will be an eXpan-
sion of the bank-note currency, but as
far us it can be accomplished with
safety, instead of the reissue of green
backs after redemption. will be re-
placed by the issuance of silver by Il
limited purchase. The extent to which
this use of silver is gone into will de-
pend upon the prospects at the time OF
international bimetallism."
Now, if Mr.. Mckinley and his party
should be forced to use 53-cent dol
lar repudiate the "honor" Of the coun-
try how much better, MIR. Hanna, will
you be than us plain Silver-Demo-
-Popocrat Anarchists? - Silver

Too Much Legislation.

The Vermont Legislature is set
ting good example for the rest Of
the States. 1t is busily engaged in
rejecting the many triflinp and job
bling bills that have been introduced.
This is record that is not only
praiseworthy, but salutary. We're
law ridden enough already.-Gazette.
If the coming Nevada legislature
will set it's face sternly against the
practice followed by its predecessors
IN enacting idle and frivolous legisla-
ton and pass only such laws as will
benefit the State, it will make q re-
cord that will receive the unst1nted
praise OF every taxpayer. If, on the
othe hand, it fritters away the time
OF the session in considering and
passing 81 lot of laws, merely for the
purpose of remaining in session the
time fixed by law, its members will
meet with the merited copdem nation
of their constituents. The two
courses are open to the members Of
that body. Which will they take?
We believe the members from This
county will choose the former.
