THE MAYOR WAS INQUIs1TIVE.

very saucy questions. 1t was all about

manding that as the Home Company had

Newark Public Library oomstock-
fauism.

The action Of the trustees of the New
ark Library in excluding the World"
and Journal from the institution is
simply asinine. 1t harms these papers in
no way and it helps public morals not
even in the least degree. There is much
to condemn in these sheets, but it is not
of the class of faults which is amenable
to library censorship.
Almost the only thing that such Off
Gals are justified in taking cognizance of
is indecenoy, and in respect of this, the
two papers are no worse than their con-
tempoparies and are better than some of
them. For instance, those who watch
the New York papers from years end to
years end know that more absolute
pruriency is displayed in the New York
Sun than in these two papers COM
bined. The matter is less vulgarly pre-
scented, but it is only the more insidious
N hat account. In support of this as
~sertion, it is only necessary to allude to
the reprint of the "Pali Mall Gazette,
revelations some years ago, to the re-
printing of various exposures from
London Truth" and to the recent re-
ports of the evidence in the Seeley din
ner investigation.
Indeed, except on the score of blatancy
and ~vulgarity, it is doubtful if these two
papers are any worse than their con-
temporaries. The HERALD does its best
to initiate all their worst follies; it only
fails to succeed, as they do, in catch
ing the favor of the vulgar. The Sun"
besides the tendency alluded to above,
displays a shocking political d~epravity on
many occasions. Its defence of Croker
n Tammany ~seoundrelism through
thick and thin, its assaults on President
Cleveland, its treachery to tariff reform
n its pernicious jingoism leave it in
hardly any better case than its fellows.
On the other hand, we have the Even
ing POST exuding a cynicism which is
more latad TO PUBIC morals than the
breath of the Upas is to life. We see
it unfolding the vileness of P%arkhurst,
the incompetency of Roosevelt, the tyran-
ny of Raines. and at the same time we
see 1t howiing denunciations at Plat and
all practical politicians, thu giving an
example of Phariseeism and hypocrisy
which is most disastrous to the COM
munity.
The Library trustees of Newark had
better have kept their hands off. They
are going outside their province in set
ting up as amateur C~omstocks. Probably
not one of them could give an intelligi-
BILE explanation of his vote-certainly not
one which would not apply equally to
his own favorite sheet, whatever it is.
1t is the business of a public library to
give the people what they want, within
the pale of the law.

Robert ManteH in ssThe Face In the
n oonlfshIs, ut the of N uaic

Robert ManteH in ssThe Eace in the
Moonlight, at the Academy of usic
Mr.. Mantell and his excellent company
gave, last night, 1.-THE Face in the Moon
light" a drama by Charles Osborne. The
scene is laid in France, in 1914. and the
plot largely turns on the politics of the
time the final catastrophe being averted
by the defeat of Napoleon, at Waterloo,
and the consequent return to power of
the Bourbons..
Mr.. Mantell plays the dual role of Vic
tor Ambrose and Jacques Ferrand, and
the two characters being as widely
apart as the poles, he has ample oppor-
tunity to display his versified talents AS
Ferrand, however, he is far stronger than
as Ambrose. He descended to the iend-
ish passions of the former with a force
that was somewhat appalling, but he
failed to wholly rise to the emotions of
the latter. There were moments when the
audience felt that his calmness passed all
understanding.
Miss Behrens, as Lucille Munier, look
ed extremely attractive. In those parts
of the play where grace and gentleness
seemed appropriate she was all that
could be desired, but her display of en-
otion was hardly adequate to the occa-
sion- Indeed, one could not but envy the
equanimity with which the various hor-
rible disclosures were received by all
hands.
Captain Narcisse's faithfulness as a
friend and lover was agreeably portray
ed by Frank Denithorne and all rejoiced
that he met such a fitting reward as
Marguerite, charmingly presented by
Louise Marcelli.
One must not forget Madame Pfque,
Minnie Monk, on whom the fate of the
hero depended, and who rescued him so
cleverly by the power Of gold.
1.-THE Face in the Moonlight will be
given tonight, when those who W. not
seen it should visit the Academy. On

A Possible COllO4uy.,

Those native Hawaiians who have come
to Washington In opposition to the annexa-
ton treaty must find themselves in a
pected to help along the cause, and vet
they are in active league with men who
deride them Opposition in the Senate IS
based now largely on the proposition that
the Hawaiians arc unworthy OF American
citizenship. What. specifically. is to be their
part in the play? How are they cordially
and effectively to join hands with men who
put so poor appraisement upon them
and their people? Or can it be that the
visitors in their turn, put an equally poor
appraisement on the American people and
their institutions, making it horse and
horse, as it were?
Imagine meeting between one of these
Hawaiian visitors and one Of the opposi-
ton senators. the visitor opening the con-
versation.
LAS are engaged In the same cause.
may 1 ASK you, senator, to state the
grounds Of your opposition to the treaty?'
Certainly. sir" replies the senator. And
as IT is best for allies thoroughly to under
stand eGch other, let me speak with per-
feet frankness. do not consider that your
people are up to the mark of our desires
in the matter Of citizenship. AS we say in
America. you are not the stuff You lack
snap. vim. progress, go. what you please.
We couldn't assiniilate you in our. ciSfliza-
ton and scheme OF government. You'd be
the source Of constant trouble to US. And
We have troubles enough, u Matters stand.

The National University Project.

The project of the creation Of a national
university, such as is outlined by the en-
erSetlc women now in session in this city,
Is worthy of deep consideration by edu-
Gators and statesmen alike For many
years there has been a more or less def
hite PROJECT on foot to carry out the ex-
pressed desires of George Washington to
estaoilsh at the seat of government an
institution Of learning under 1.-The patron
age OF the nation that should set high

by the first President for the nucleus of an

now concentrated around an effort to ere

Win 10 lnaugurate the work of at least
one college. Naturally this establishment
is TO be located at Washington. This is
primarily because its protector designated

purpose Is strengthened by the fact that
In the century and more that has passed
since then Washington city has become a
seat or learning, center of educational
enterprises and has accumulated many ele-
ments that pertain to the capital of a
great nation The women who have taken
the matter up at present are working dill
gently and their meeting here at this time
is Tor the purpose of taking active steps
toward the accomplishment of their pre-
lirninary plans. The citizens of the Dis
trict wish them success in every branch
OF their endeavor. 1t is to be hoped that
their present sessions will attract wide at
tention and enlist in behalf of the univer-
sity plan the active cooperation Of the
senators and representatives, who will
soon be called upon to take some form of
action on the bill just introduced en-

\ Permanent Home for the board

1t appears from statement printed in
another part of this ISSUE that there is an
excellent prospect that the National Board
of Trade may be substantially reorganized
and that the principal result of that pro-
cess will be the erection in this city of a
massive commercial building. to form the
home of that body. AS mentioned in these
columns yesterday the National Board of
Trade has always met here, wisely appre-
ciating the advantages of such course
and in effect making Washington it's head
quarters. But the board has never pos
sessed a definite place of official existence
and it is a most ipraiseworthy project that
is now advanced to give the organization
a dignified basis of operations. The plan is
the more commendable in that it involves
q material broadening of the scope OF the
boards work and its field of influence and
usefulness. Washington will gladly find a
place for such building as. is proposed
and will extend to its projectors every item
of aid that is in its power All: --..

To bury the MireR.

A bill was introduced in the Senate yes
terday by Chairman Mcmillan relating to
the matter of electric wires within the city
OF Washington that deserves immediate
consideration and passage. Its main pur-
pose is to bury all existing overhead wires
within the city limits and secondariIy II

Quits now laid or that may hereafter be
laid These two purposes are essential to
the proper development of the electric sys-
tenn of the District and II is worthy of note
and congratulatory comment that the en-
tire project is specifically declared to be
tentative. pending the provision by Con-
gress Of a general subway system for the
District.
The bill first grants to both electric light
ing companies permission to lay service
conduits into alleys of all blocks adjacent
TO ccnduits now in service. which are def
nitely legaIzed. and also authorizes house
connections with sueh streetsconduits. Ii

The bill distinguishes as usual between the
suburban and the urban limits, and in this
particular the measure falls short of the
ideal provision. AS far as the burying of
existing wires is concerned the present
city limits" are to be the bounds of opera
tons. The wires now overhead outside of
the city limits may be retained and ex-
tended as the Commissioners may deem it
wise to permit, save that no such extern
sions are to be made within the fire
