CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-The consolidation
Of the Astor and Lenox Libraries with
the Tilden library fund gives to New
York city one of the most richly en-
dOwed libraries in the United States.
The Tilden fund is about 81, 700, 900.
The Lenox library is worth 81, 600, 600.
The Aston family gave to the Astor IL
brary more than 81, 900, 900. This makes
the value of the consolidated library
nearly So, 900, 900, which is the greatest
endowment in the history of American
libraries. The only library which APP
proaches these in this respect is the
Newberry library, in Chicago, to which
was left property which has been APP
praised at various amounts from 3d.
900, 900 to $1,000, 900. There are less

WASHINGTON LETTER.

A Weekly Budget of Interesting News
from the Capital.
WASHINGTON, March 20. Secretary
Hoke Smith got severe raking over in
the senate this week for his failure to
carry out the law for the opening Of the
Uncompaghre Indian reservation, sin
Utah, to the public. Senator Cannon, of
Utah, started the ball with his resolu-
tion directing Secretary Smith to carry
out the law and his speech showing that
the "hold up" was in the interest Of a
few wealthy men. Later his remarks
were endorsed by Senators Wolcott, OF
Colorado, Vest, Of Missouri, and others.
The movement to further to further de-
lay action upon the Cuban resolution by
sending Them back to conference for the
purpose of changing the wording was
squelched when the senate committee on
foreign relations instructed Mr.. Sherman
to push the report Of the committee in
favor Of accepting the house resolutions
as a substitute for those adopted by the
senate to vote at the earliest possible
moment.
The house had quite lively debate on
the resolution -censuring Ambassador
Bayard, this week, but the house had.
made up its mind on that subject.
Among the political prophets is heard
the yoiceDf one Campbell, Of Ohio, who
was last fall buried by 0hio's biz re-
publican majority. He has crawlel out
of the debris and come to Washington to
warn the democratic party of the death
that will follow the split which everybody
is predicting to occur at the Chicago con-
yentiOn. Prophet Campbell after i'm
ploring the democratic party to send del
egates to Chicago who will not bolt the
ticket or platform of the democratic nat
ional convention ends his tale of woe by
saying: "But bolt or split now, and we
are undOnefor all time. The democracy
is destroyed forever, and its site sOwn
with salt" 1t will live only as mem
ory, like the wings, the federalists, and
other combinations Of a past that is far
or near" 1t is evident that Mr.. Camp
bell will be able to say, '1-told-you-so,"
to the democrat a few months hence.
Mr.. Campbell does not even promise the
democrats victory either this year or
in thenear future, as a reward for re-
straining their inclination to bolt, but |
says his advice must be followed as the |
sonly hope of party continuation. ~

The lower house last week passed a
resolution Of censure against Ambassador
Bayard, representing the United States
in England, for making political
speech, which is strictly forbidden. Mr..
Bayard has served this country as a sena.
tor eighteen years, secretary Of state four
years and now holds the high position Of
ambassador, but we are unable to see
where his services have been Of any ben
eft. He served in the doolittle corner Of
the senate chamber, proved himself a
blank as secretary of state and nonen-
tity as ambassador to England, hence it
is high time that he was retired to
private life.

c. X. Garrison, Of New York, invested
SO, 100000 in the W. &L. E. Railway
and took the first mortgage bondson the
line and equipment for security. In
1886 the mortgage was foreclosed and
the road was sold for half million dol
lars, which created a loss Of over
$2,6oO,OO0. Later on c. IS. Griggs
brought an action against the Garrison
estate and on Saturday Hast, after being
in court for eleven years, was awarded a
Judgment for $685., ,2lO,50. 1t will be
seen that the Garrisons did not make
very much out of the investments in
western railroads.

Editors Reefy and Johnson are CEN
suring candidates for Office for dropping
from their dignity in going from door to
door tramp style) to solicit votes. They
claim that the Office should seek the man
and not the man the office. This is the
correct principle, but when individuals
get wrought up after Office they forget
all Of these old time dignified rules and
overreach little. The next time officers
are to be elected Editors johnson and

to launch into political matters very ex-

time that the women as a whole in the
state never requested the passageof such

the request and in order to please them
the general assembly enacted the law.

By dividing the township into two
precincts it entities us to two assessors
We do not believe that this is the proper
thing to do; 1t was divided merely fol
the convenience Of voters and not for the
puIpbse Of creating a new office. An adj
ditional office should not be created nm
less the people askfor it, and in this case
it has not been done. The chattels inthe
township can be listed by one official
with ease and within the time prescribed
by law wand it would seem that an ad-
ditional assessor would merely prove to
be an extra expenditure Of money that
is uncalled for.

The general assembly Of Kentucky
adjourned without electing a United

in favor Of electing senators by popu-
