Beyond Mans Inventive Power.

The triumph of machinery over the
old-fashioned methods of rapid locomo-
tion will not do away with all the
fun our forefathers knew. The cycle
and the hoSseless carriage can
make good time cn a good road bed, but
neither one of them can take a fence at a
flying leap or ford a stream, nor follow the
hounds after the fox, over hedges and
bitches, nor give the feeling of exhilaration
that comes Of the "ymp'thy and confidence
between the two noblest and most intell-
gent creatures en- earth, man and horse in a
dash along the course.

LIBRARY BOOK CENSORSHIP.

A censorious local newspaper critic
of the action of the librarian of
Carnegie library at Allegheny in
withdrawing from circulation the
works of certain novelists on the
ground that they are of low rank on
the literary scale denies that public
libraries are intended to cultivate the
public up to n certain literary standard
and asserts that the chief purpose of
such libraries is "to furnish a rest and
recreation for tired brains, and the
library that comes nearest to this Is the
one the people will most literally pat
ronlze."
1t is very evident that this critic mis-
takes entirely the function of the public
library, especially of that which is sup
ported in whole or in part out of public
funds. The library is. or should be, an
educational Institution, not a place of
mere amusement and entertainment.
People who seek rest and recreation for
tired brains in trashy literature and i'm
moral novels too frequently lack the
brains necessary to an appreciation of
the opportunities offered by we'll
stocked and well managed library. If
it were rest and recreation for tired
brains that the library furnished, how
long would the people consent to pay
taxes for the support of such an institu-
ton? Would they not soon tell the
brainless tired persons to provide them
selves with restful literature and turn
the money in public library funds to
some more useful purpose?
The truth is that it is, or should be,
the purpose of the public library to cult
vate the public taste up to higher liter
ary standards. In a circulating library
catering to patrons of all ages and
classes it becomes absolutely necessary
to draw the line on books that are in
furious to public morals or of degenerat-
ing influence on public taste. The IL
brary censor may make mistakes
now and then. but because some
one calls for book is no reason
it should be furnished at public
expense and the whole community
inoculated with literary virus. 1t
may be difficult to decide whether or
not a certain book is good for library
circulation. but whenever any number of
library patrons object to the circulation
of Il particular book, the librarian will
make no mistake in withdrawing it from
the circulation shelves.

jobs Seeking Applicants.
Springfield Republican,

Very curious on its face is the fact that
about dozen positions under the govern
ment, worth $4,000 EACH remain vacant be-
cause no one can be found to ill them.
Where are the ofIiceseekers, you ask? The
mystery is explained when 1t appears that
the positions are those of skilled draughts-
men in the Navy department, which call
for men who know their business. Office
seekers are not expected necessarily to
know their business, and so these places
will probably have to be filed from the
ment employ

BlMETdLLISM HBROAD.

1t Is not eaSy.to find much encourage
ment for the cause of international bi-
metallism in recent developments
abroad. The visit of the American COM
missioners to France appears to have
elected nothing more than an expression
of sympathy with their mission from
members of the government. Some of
these and notably the prime minister are
pronounced bimetallists, but they do not
seem disposed to favor any advance
action on the part of the government.
| They are friendly to the proposition for
an international conference, but they are
not willing that France take the initia-
| tive Nor, so far as appears. are they
ut all hopeful of any practical result
| from a conference. They know that
nothing can be done without England
| and there is not the least reason to hope
| that the British government will show
any favor to international bmetallism.
The annual meeting of the British Bi-
| metallic league at Manchester was
| marked by optimistic expressions. 1t
was said in the report to the league that
never since 1873 have the-prospects for
! international bimetallism been so hope
full as at present and while some of the
| most prominent advocates of this policy
| were not present at the meeting they at
tested by letter their continued devotion
TO the cause. "One of these said: "Oir
object will be gained if the United States
and France Or ss6me other. great COM
merciai nation .ngree to garry the matter
through even without England" If
this is the general feeling among English
bimetallists it is evidently not shared by
those on the continent. These are agreed,
according to all reports. that for the sue
cess of an international agreement re-
garding silver the acquescence of Eng
land is absolutely necessary. Even so
ardent II bmetallist as NJ. Meline of
France is understood to hold this opin-
ion. So far as we know there is no one
in Germany of any influence who be-
lieves that any plan of international hi.
metallism could BE- made succe ,sful with.
ont the support of the British govern
ment
Perhaps the sentiment in favor of bi-
metallism is as strong today in Europe
rs it has ever been. but there is no evil
dence that any of the governments are
more favorable to it, Undoubtedly if
conference We're called by the United
States no European nation which might
be invited would decline to be repre-
sented in it, but there is no reason to be-
lieye that such Il conference would not
end as those which have been held ended
