The New Librarian of Congress.

From the New York Journal.
The appointment Of Mr.. John Russell
Young as librarian of congress is "A wit
ness to the Importance now attached to
what IS in reality the national library. The
custody Of that great collection Of books
is considered an honor worthy the accept
ance Of a man who has ably filled the post
OF minister to one OF the greatest empires
Of the world. Mr.. Young Is not a profess
sional H~brarian-that is TO say, he has not
served an apprenticeship in the technical
details of library workout he is a literary
man and has spent his life in the atmos-
phere Of books. His position will correspond
to that OF a civilian secretary Of the navy
in command Of naval officers. except that
he will know more about the work of his
subordinates than any secretary OF the
navy knows about naval affairs. The varied
experiences of the new l~ibrarian-his long
newspaper training, his diplomatic work.
his travels with General Grant. his wide
acquaintance with books and men-wil all
be Of value TO him in his new position. and
we shall be surprised If they do not enrich
the library OF congress with some novel
and useful ideas.

IN HAWAII.

With the impending annexation of Ha-
wall. everything relating to tIe people
and conditions of that little republic be-
comes Of more or less Importance TO the
country that is to assume the proprietary
interest. The opponents of annexation
have placed their principal opposition on
the ground that the bulk Of the population
is wholly homogeneous with that of this
country. In view Of these claims a glance
at the educational status of the islands
is both interesting and instructive. and
the facts revealed serve as a refutation of
the frequent assertion that the natives will
never harmonic with the American idea
Of government and progress.
In the North American Review for July,
Daniel Logan, editor Of the Honolulu Bull
letin, gives a comprehensive account of ed
ucation in Hawaii. 1t is recalled that pub
lie schools were established early in the
civilized government of the islands. and
that a very complete system grew from
the classes established by American mis-
sionaries who first taught in the native Ian
guage. So effective was this system of
education that. according to Mr.. Logan.
for many years it was rae to find a Ha-
waiian who could not read and write his
native language. 1t was not long until
there was a demand for instruction in
English, especially among those of higher
rank, This desire became so prevalent that
the Hawaiian schools are now all but
abandoned. but in their places are the En-
glish schools with an enrolment Of one
eighth Of the entire population.
In the year 1896. when the attendance was
H.O23, the several nationalities were repre-
scented as follows: Hawaiians, $50; part
Hawaiians. 2.44S; Americans. AZ; British.
256; German. 2Ss; Portuguese. $500; Scandi-
navians. IS; japanese. Sss; Chinese. s21;
South Sea islanders. 2S; and other foreign
ers, 90.
One reason for this large attendance is
that a law was passed last year making
attendance from the ages of ; to Is COM
pulsory. and providing so-called "truant
officers to enforce observance Of the law.
American ext books are used almost ex-
clusively. More than two-thirds Of all the
teachers are Anne -. while the other
third is made up t wholly of native
or part Hawaiians.
The constitution Of the republic prohibits
any state aid for sectarian schools. al
though there are several fine denomination
al colleges in Hawaii. All the public
schools are free, with the exception of the
Honolulu high school,. to which nominal
buttons are charged.
The entire appropriations of the Hawaii
an government for the year ending Deem
Der 81. 1887. were s1.929. 93S. of which the
good. round sum Of siO4.O 900 went to the pub
lie schools.

that both houses of the same legislature
defeated the bill last winter by a sub
stantial majority, and it was largely
through the same presentation of the case
as we nave endeavored to set forth here.
A number of members voted against the
bill who were in favor of legislative regu-
lation, but who could not see the wisdom
Of involving Kansas in a wholly useless
law suit.
At the best, special sessions Of the leg
islature are an unknown and dangerous
quantity. They seldom perform the task
for which the governor has called them to-
gether. An extra session was held in Mis-
souri, not so long ago TO pass a fellow
servant bill. but it didn't &c it. Two weeks
ago a special session in Texas adjourned
without passing any of the drastic meas
ures proposed. The Arkansas legislature
recently remained in session fity-tive days.
the most important purpose being the pass
age of a railroad commission law, and, al
though strenuous efforts were made. the
bill failed and the state was put to
enormous and useless expense. Other in
stances might be cited to show that the
special session highway is fun of dangers
n pitfalls, but these ought to suffice as
an example for Kansas.
There is but one reasonable and wise
course for Governor Leedy to follow. If
he feels that Kansas is so urgently in need
Of railroad legislation that she cannot wait
Until the regular legislative session. let
him at least postpone his contemplated call
until the supreme court has had an op-
portunity to pass upon the legislation al
ready on the statute books.

SOMEBODY.

Somebody crawls int mammals bed.
Just at the break of day,
Struggles up close, and whispers loud:
Somebody's come TO stay
Somebody rUshes through the house,
Never once shuts a door;
Scatters her playthinGs all around
over the nursery floor;
Climbs on the fence and tears her clothes
Never a bit cares She
Swings on the gate and makes mud pies
Who can somebody be-
Somebody looks with TOgueish eyes
Up through her tangled hair:
Somebody's me" she says. but then,
Somebody doesn't care"

With measured feet and slow.

There seems to be a good deal of grum-

The greatest success is sure to hare its
drawbacks, especially when it is a great

not anything like as big a thing as was
expected. Disappointment in that line will
soon be forgotten. But there was one dis

stand out in the memory and records of

The Fail I'm the Price of bicycles.

From the Springfield CMass.) Republican.
The announcement that the Pope Manu-
featuring Company will reduce the price of
its 80 high grade Columbia bicycles from
500 TO SO on July l means that the high
price era in wheels has come to an end.
With this machine selling at that price
few persons will think OF paying more for
some other wheel. and so all OF the high
grade bicycles must very soon, at least, II
not Immediately. come down 10 the SO
level.
The drop has been expected for some
time. and the wonder is that the leading
manufacturers have succeeded in maintain
ing the 500 price so long. Good wheels AT
S5 and $50 have been on the market for
several seasons: they have proved durable
and satisfactory TO their riders, and the
competition they have offered to the high
price machines must have been severely
felt. The market has also been deiuged
with very cheap wheels. which are alto
gether unreliable and worthless, but the
competition of these can hardly have been
so severe for the highest priced wheels as
those selling at about So. The majority
of riders want good. strong bicycles. and
are willing to pay a fair price for them.
but evidently they have concluded that
500 is excessive, and now the makers must.
at least, fix their prices accordingly.
Still another reason for the cut Is that
new wheels of Sc make are on the market
in large numbers. and as these are sub
stantialIy as good wheels as those Of 81,
while their selling price must necessarily
be lowered. the difficulty in maintaining
the old price of this years machines is
much increased.
II the old price is TO be set up again
next year, there must be some radical and
obvious improvement offered. II a success
full chainless bicycle can be brought out
il may have nc trouble in selling for 500.
All riders yearn for a chainless wheel. and
with such a demand for it enc of solid
construction and simple. reliable move
ment ought not to be very long in coming.
The bicycle was never more popular than
to-day. and it is difficult TO see any limit
to its use provided the prices are main
tanned at reasonable levels. Hosts OF peO-
pie would feel its loss as much as the COM
munity in general would feel the loss Of
street cars. 1t is, indeed, another illustra-
ton of the transformation of a luxury into
a necessity, through society's adaptation
Of itself to the new conditions gradually
produced by a great and popular invention.
