JUSTICE HARLAN in lecture on con-
stitutional law to the students of Colum-
bian university lately, took occasion to
speak OF the Maine disaster 30 as to CD
force the lesson that Judgment should
not be passed upon grave questions until
all the facts are learned. This advice
should be needed by every one.
More trouble comes from inconsiderate
action than from any other cause. People
who jump at conclusions rarely reach pre-
per ones. Tho % in Havana in possession
Of sli the facts attalnsble up to the present
are unable to state what the cause OF the
explosion is. But people wholly unfa-
miIiar with the facts pass speedy Judgment
and demand action comfortable with
their opinion. To pass judgment with
insufficient facts is evidence OF defective
education the object of which should be
to draw right conclusions from known
facts. The facts must first be learned
or course there are times when prompt
action neceesitates quick decision, but
the facts at band should always govern.
Some good may come from this disaster
and not the least will be the distrust OF
those in public life who reason without
facts au1 form judgements without rea-

PUBLIC LIBRARY.

The ladies having in charge the crea-
ton of sentiment favorable to the estab-
lishment of public library have adopted
the plan OF securing brief communica-
tons on the subject from some of the
prominent men of the city. The first
installment OF these communications fol.
lows:
is, think, unnecessary to address
to the people of ManItowoc any srou-
ments to show the deslrsbillty, indeed
the necessity, OF public library, It may
not be amlss, however, to suggest that
requisite permanence and stability can
be attained only by making it an enter
prise OF the whole people: that ls, it must
be undertaken, supported and managed
by the city rs CO ordinate with our pub
lie schools. Thirty years ago some of
our leading citizens" established the
Jones Library. Their ]berality was suf-
ficient for the foundation. Their en-
thuslasm sufficed for its maintenance for
time. But they began to die and move
away, while other leading citizens" had
become absorbed IN other public enter
prises, railroads, barbors, waterworks.
Leading citizens" never did and never
will take the place of the commonalty.
A want of continuity Of interest in the
mana cement, and of sufficient financial
basis brought the Jones Library first to
decadence and then to a practical sus-
pension OF the enterprise. The work it
attempted to accomplish ought now to
be undertaken in way that will give
every citizen membership and access on
equal terms, and that will insure perma-
hence by public recognition of it's en-
during value. l think could assign the
real reasons why we have FALLEN behind
other cities IN this symbol and substance
Of civic excellence, but I deem that IN
necessary also. prefer to believe that
it will be sufficient if the attention of
citizens can be simultaneously turned for
season upon the subject. Then the
requisite organized effort, believe, will
follow. We may thank the ladies for
commanding our attention, but we can
not leave them to struggle alone. Every
citizen has a duty in the premises and he
ought to set abont 1t at once with the
determination that Manitowoc must and
shall have PUBLIC LIBRARY.

L am informed to established public
library in this city. A library is certain

centuries, one might say, coeval, with the

At the present time libraries are nee.

need good books. A good book should
be within easy reach As the body with

food. 1t is to be hoped that the commit.

ed to his reputation and earned the con
tidence of the people. Cardinal Gibbon

sion CT the REQUIEM mass for the Maine
dead, properly commended the president
for bis self possession. Fortunately the
yellow journals have been unable to
stampede the people to the exercise of
extreme folly. When the facts regarding
the Maine are fully known the course
this government sees fit TO pursue will
meet the approval of the world the more
certainly because OF its attitude during
