HE most useful OF the few legislative
fictions remaining under Mr.. Reeds
icenoclastic rules is that which per-
mits a member to make Il motion to
strike out the last word aud thus gain
the privilege OF speaking for five minutes
on any subject, whether relevant to that
under discussion or not. This is the first
trick OF The trade learned by a new Congress-
man and often leads to serious waste OF
valuable time.
But there la vebeen many instances where
the uniuHtiated have taken such amend
ments JH earnest. ON one occasion a
dignifiett and scholarly old gentleman arose
and made an eloquent and argumentatiye
speech In opposition to striking out the last
word in the certain section OF a bill He
urged that 1t would destroy the smoothness
aud regularity of the measure if not actually
render 1T invalid. At the conclusion of
his remarks nc waved his hands in the air
aud expressed the solemn hope that the
House would vote down the proposition to
curtaii the pending bill by eliminating the
last word.

The Free Library Bill.

then the idea is not at all pleasant that
an Institution of this character should be
dependent for portion OF its income upon
violations OF the law. The more law
breaking, the more income, and vice versa.
The very thought is rcpuisive.
The people OF the District will gladly
tax themselves for the whole of the ex-
pcnsc involved in running the library If
this shall ultimately be required OF them.
They want the library; they are catholic
enough in their liberaiity to give the bene-
fiji of its advantages to visitors from all
parts OF the country. But the point that
is made is not for Il generous concession
from Congress, but for what the United
States, as the largest property owner in
the District and by virtue of u self-imposed
Upon this one point hinges the whole ques-
ton. In the organic act Congress declares
that the United States should pay dollar
for dollar with the taxpayers of the Dis
trict. The money for the library is to
come from the local revenues, and hence
the United States ought to pay Just as
much as the District annually for the
maintenance OF this institution. There is
no getting around this propositiCn, for it
rests upon the good faith of the United
states.
The morning times., 1896-04-06

No doubt is entertained by anybody,
either in or out of Congress, as 10 the
general propricty of free library for
Washington. and The only obstacle in the
way OF the passage of the bill relating 10
this subject, and on which Il conference
has been ordered by The Senate, is the
contention on the part OF i certain num-
Der OF Congressman, that the whole eX-
pensc OF maintaining ii should be charged
upon the District revenues The most
strenuous objection TO the United States
paying its share of 30 per cent, as il does
of all other items OF District expenditures,
omesfrommcnbcrso OF The House, although
there are a few Senators whose sense OF
fairness has suffered an attack of strabiS
mus in regard 10 the free library. The
friends OF the measure are not without
hope. however, that the calm delibera-
tions Of a conference committee may bring
the bill safely 10 land and that a favorable
report will pilot it safely through both
branches.
The proposition to turn over all fines
collected in the local courts to the library
should not be entertained for Il moment.
In The first place. this would work in
juriously 10 other interests, as, for in
stance, the policemen's relief fund, and

| v HENEVER another State shall be
\AI added to the union. il Will be neces-
80 sary to remodel the ceiling above
the hall of the House. When Utah
takes possession OF the last vacant
glass panel, forming the northeast corner
of the ceiling. and has her coat OF arms
painted thereon, all of the available space
as at present arranged will have been
occupied.
The iron giriers supporting the interior
OF the glass ceiling divide it into forty
five compartments, being nine in length
from east 10 west. and five in width, from
north TO south. One of these panels has
been assigned to each new State for the
purpose of being emblazoned with the
armorial bearings adopted by the State.
1t Is now evident that the original designers
of this plan never dreamed that the number
OF States would grow TO such proportions.
But, fortunately, it will be an easy
matter to provide more room. so that the
remaining territories will have an equal
chance with their older sisters. There is
abundance OF space in which to place
double row OF additional panels around
those already in use, and thus continue the
pretty custom. The change should be
made at the first Congressional interim
so that Arizona. Oklahoma, and New
Mexico will not have to wait tGo long
for their panels.
