A LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.

The friends of the public library, who
believe that it Is Of vital interest to our
city to have erected here a suitable
library building, took practical steps
yesterday in the formation of a public
library association. The members of
this organization comprised earnest
men and women from every ward in
the city, all Of whom pledged them
selves to work until st. Paul should
be equipped with library building
worthy Of it's fame, and the library fur
nished with revenue adequate to its
proper support. We can scarcely think
Of any movement that will tend to do
more for the good Of the city. The alb
sence of a library here such as mere
villages at the East can boast, the
contrast drawn between ourselves and
Minneapolis, and above all the apparent
Indifference Of the people to the def
cheney have cost us thousands of in
habitants. No single cause has been
more potent to retard the advance of
st. Paul than this. It is time that the
reproach was removed.
The friends of the library do not have
to work in the dark. they do not have to
worry over ways and means, they do
not have to educate public opinion. All
Of this preliminary ground has been
broken. The only thing which remains
to be done is to persuade those whose
official action Is necessary, to carry
out the wishes Of the people. It has
been as definitely demonstrated as any
thing can be that the people Of st. Paul
want to see the market house property
sold, and the proceeds applied to the
erection Of a library building. This
will give US all that we need for fifty
years to come. All that remains Is to
see that the exchange is effected; and
the members of the council will not, we
are sure, stand in the way Of this when
they find that there is a unanimous
and determined public sentiment be-
hind it. It is to mass this sentiment,
to give it form and expression, and to
make it practically effective that the
library association has been formed. It
will include in it's membership many
thousand voters in this city, and those
members will ask of their representa-
tives in the council that the peoples
will in the matter of provision for the
public library be respected and carried
out This is the purpose, and the only
one, OF the movement that was inau-
gurated by a meeting at the CONNER
cial club yesterday. It's motive is wor-
thy, its method is practical, and we
hope and expect to see it achieve a de-
served success.

AID. MURPHY IN BUSINESS.
He Buys Another Saloon on Wa
basha Street.

Aid. Murphy has discovered that
there are other saloons than the one
on the southeast corunr uf ST. Peter
and Tenth streets. Yesterday he pur-
chased one of tt IN. The alderman
declared q week a, that he proposed
to secure a place down town as Soon
as possible. He made good his declar-
alton by buying out Messrs. Kayser
& Freyermuth, who were the pro-
prietors Of the saloon at 345 Wabdsha
street, directly opposite the city hall.
Several of Aid. Murphy's friends and
fellow aldermen dropped in to see him
in the afternoon soon after he had
taken possession. ON 81
The saloon is to be conducted, so
Aid. Murphy says, in an unobjection-
able manner. The two partitions in
the rear are to be torn down when the
new fixtures are substituted for the
present ones, which will be done at
once. Under no circumstances will
any women be allowed in the saloon.
The only entrance to the place will
be through the front doorway leading
from Wabasha street, directly into
the barroom.
The license for the saloon was re-
Gently issued to Anton Miesen, prior
to the adoption of the new rule by
the license committee under which
licenses are now issued only to the
party or parties conducting the saloon.

sition will be determined, 1t is not nee
essary for us to state. This is hu-
initiating position for a great party
to occupy, and will be such an element
of weakness in this campaign as it
was in that of four years ago. Yet,
after all, we do not know why a Re
publican should offer objection to
having his candidate nominated
for him by the venal element at the
South; any more than by that equally
venal and more blame worthy element
at the North which is shouting for Nc
Kinley in order that it may buy his
election with money which 1t intends to
get back again from the people through
unjust and unnecessary tariff taxation.
