CROWDED OUT.
Tariff Bill to he Disposed of Before
Other IegisIafiOn.

Washington, March 21.-The execu-
tive committee, which was created at
the monetary convention held in Indi-
annapolis January last, to secure
the appointment of commission
to revise the currency system of
the United States, called on Speaker
Reed at the capitol Friday. Among the
number were Mr.. III. ii. Hanna. of Indi-
annapolis, who was the chairman of
the indianapolis convention; ex-Gov.
Stanard, of st. Louis; George f. Pea
body. of New York, and John p. Irish,
Of San Francisco.
The committee set forth to Speaker
Reed the necessity not only of main
tanning the present gold standard, but
of insuring the ultimate retirement of
all classes of United States notes and the
establishment of a banking system
which should furnish credit facilities to
every portion of the country and at the
same time afford safe and elastic cir
culation. They stated that a congress
sional commission, or n commission of
outsiders. or mixed commission of
senators and representatives and bust
ness men would be equally satisfactory
TO them. What they desired. primar
lily, was the appointment of "a com
mission.
The speaker replied that congress
had been called together to pass tariff
bill, and that vt was obviously TO the in
terests of this country that this bill
should be passed at the earliest possible
practicable moment. He expressed the
opinion that it would be better if this
bill would be passed in May, than if its
passage we're delayed until July next.
Until final action had been taken on
this bill he did not deem it advisable to
complicate matters by the formulation
of any new legislation.
The committee agreed that this was
doubtless the better course to be pur-
sued, and with this the interview closed.

notice by the papers that the Trustees
have decided to open the Library II Sun
day for reading only, and not for the deliv-
cry of books, the arrangement to take effect
when the new extension is completed. Fol
one l am sorry this decision has been
reached. as it hardly seems necessary, and
besides it will deprive the Librarian and
Assistant of a part at least of their Sunday
rest, which they much need.
The Library is a most useful and blessed
institution, and the donor of the gift to the
city must have his heat gladdened day
by day that he had the means to bestow it.
ana the disposition so to do, to be used for
generations yet to come to use and enjoy.
And while speaking of the Library, lei
me say word in behalf of large number
of its patrons.
cannot some satisfactory arrangement be
made whereby an entrance may be had
from Deering Place? We used to have such
entrance, but complaints were made of Its
abuse, and no doubt for gooa and sufficient
reasons such an entrance was cut Off
cannot some stringent rules be established
whereby this great convenience to those liv.
ing IN Deering street and adjoining streets
may be again provided without the
privilege being abused, and thereby meet
the wishes of all patrons?.
