dilapidated and damage results that
costs twice or thrice TO repair. If a
library is to be worth anything, it must
not grow old in a literary sense. That
is to say, it must keep abreast with the
march of literature. 1t is not by any
from the printing press; but it can no
more afford to be lacking IN essential
new books, than a physician can ex-
pect to succeed who ignores the dis
coveries of science and the results of
experience and sticks to the text books
of the last century. We might have
kept on with the horse street railway
and the bobtail mule cars>in Sacrament
to- but We would have been bob
tailed mule town to have done SO. The
Library can get on without replenish-
ment and repairs, but if 1T does, it viii
rapidly approach that period of old age
when the world has no use for it.
Last year the City Trustees cut off
the revenue of the Free Library so
that the fund for keeping the blood of
life in the institution ran thereby over
800 and the library was therefore
behind in supply of needs this year
s. 500. plus the augmented attendance
of over 1000 persons, and the enlarged
demand for books by over 5000. and
corresponding augmentation of wear
and tear.
Let US in behalf of the people Of Sac
ramento press upon the City Trustees
the absolute necessity of repairing
their error, and of restoring the amount
the library formerly received. Indeed,
it should be increased, because the use
of the library is increasing, and the
demands of the people upon it are aug
menting. The old figure was too small,
1t left the library crippled, and en-
forced economy that was not real saw
ing.
Besides, betterments are absolutely
necessary. An increased demand in
creases the need to provide greater ia
cilities for use of the library. Thus it
happens that the time long ago arrived
and is now growing old, when a ref
erence room was needed. That is to
say, the reference books must be sep
arated from Others and set apart in a
distinct ROOM where they can be cas-
lily and rapidly examined. AS it is
now they have to be dug out of the
general catalogue, hunted out of the
shelves and used in the common read
ing room. This causes loss of time to
searcher and the librarians, and incom-
modes those who take books out or read
them in the building. That reference
room is a positive and crying need Its
establishment would be an economic
| thing. Let the Library Trustees have
enough money TO set up that room at
the earliest possible date. In these re-
quests we know that the people join
There is not a taxpayer in the city or
out of it, who begrudges a single penny
given for such support and betterment
of the Free Library.

Congress failed to act upon the Presi-

mission. The Philadelphia Bulletin"
says that the great majority of bust
ness men would have hailed the crea-
ton of such a commission with pleas
ure, in order to clear the decks for
future action. The question is, is it
necessary to waste six months more
in the matter? Probably not; unques-
tionably the President has the power
to appoint such a commission withou;
legislative action. But could he secure
the proper men to fill 1t and diligently
probe the matter without compensa-
tion2 1t is the belief of several lead
ing journals that such men can be
found, and that they would not lack
for compensation when Congress again
assemblies.

many dollars more than it cost us, in its
fur seal industry, and now it has devel-
oped the richest gold mines in the
world. This enormous gold find within
our own territory, coupled by the fact
that the gold mines of the world are
