A TRIUMPH OF PUBLIC OPINION.

When it first became known. months ago.
that Mayor Van Wyck was hostile to the public
library scheme and resolved that 1t should not
become an accomplished fact during his ad-
ministration, we declared that the people still
had power to put 1t through. At Monday
meeting of the Board of Estimate the proceed
incs showed that the Mayor had withdrawn his
opposition. and that practical operations might
be expected to begin before long. Though the
question Of granting the sum Of S1J0.00O 10 re-
move the reservoir from the site chosen for the
library was not finally disposed OF. but referred
TO the Corpora ton Counsel q legal formality.
there seems to he no doubt that the necessary
money to prepare the site will he forthcoming
I'm time to complete that operation before win
ter sets in.
Thus is verified the prediction that If the
people would clearly indicate their feeling on
tho subject the municipal government would
revise its intentions The manifestation Of pub
lie sentiment has not been OF a spectacular kind.
but it has been steadily imprcssing itself upon
the minds Of the Mayor and his advisers. The
less fortunate part Of the community in par
ticular. who have most 10 gain from the free
Use Of a great public library. with reading
rooms and literally managed circulating de-
partment have given the Mayor clearly 10 UNI
derstand that his attitude was extremely often
sve to them. and no doubt have aroused his
aprrehcnsions of political retribution TO follow
such betrayal of their welfare. Perhaps the
demonstration has been quite as convincing as
1t could have been If it had taken the usual
course OF mass meetings and public denunca
lions by the familiar spokesman Of all sorts OF
movements At all events. the object has seem
ngly been accomplished in no long time and
without great difficulty. because large num-
Der Of individuals who were fairly presumed 10
represent an Overwhelming public sentiment
plainly showed that they were in earnest.
This experience affords another valuable Illus
tration of the truth that good cause IL not
necessarily lost when those who have the legal
power to ruin Ii assert their hostility. Such OPP
position. however resolute. can he overcome
whenever the people make up their minds 10
have what they want. The history Of New
York is full of similar examples. In that way
the parks have been saved from encroachmcnt
and degradation over and over again In that
way the City Hall was preserved as a fine and
interesting memorial Of the past. In that way
obstinate folles in connection with the Speed
way were finally forced ont OF the plans In
that way the general welfare can always he

purposes are revealed before their consumma-

fresh display OF the power which still resides
in the people. even after they have delegated
their authority.
