1t Should Be Stopped.

! The WASHINGTON STANDARDS stric :
lures against smoking in the State
!. Library appear to have called forth
some favorable comments among the
well-disposed people of Olympia, a
fact which acts as an encouragement
for carrying on the righteous warfare
until the glaring evil is forever
stamped out OF existence.
AS the matter now stands, the
spectacle presented by groups of
nonchalant men with pipes and cigars
in their mouths, the wreaths Of blue
smoke above their heads, the ubiqui
tons odor of tobacco and the ungainly
spitoons scattered about the floor in
either room is eminently suggestive OF
the rollicking freedom which ever pre-
walls in unkempt hotel Offices and the
Hobbies of modern legislative halls.
After copying the STANDARDS para
graph the Olympian says:
1.-The foregoing was called TO the at.
tention OF State Librarian Bashford last
evening and caused him to remark:
The STANDARD is not more opposed to
the habit of smoking in the library than
| am. but | am powerless to prevent it.
Matters of this kind rest wholly with the
library commission, composed of the
Governor, Secretary of State and Attor-
ney General. Should they see fit to
prohibit smoking by making a rule to
that effect it will be abated. Several
years ago such rule was passed by the
commission, but during the time when
w. G. Jones was Attorney General he
removed the mo smoking placards
| from the walls, and since that time
| there has been no prohibition. l agree
| with the critic, but until the commission
acts | can do nothing. imagine, how.
ever, it will be quite a job to stop smok-
ing in the library, as many attorneys
find it very hard to work without their
| weed"
Now We would like to ask in all ser.
iousness, who is custodian OF tn. State
Library and if Mr.. Bashford is not
legally clothed with all authority i'm
piled by the title of State Librarian?
The same unwritten law applies to
that institution which regulates the
moral and social decorum observed by
everybody in our churches, our thea.
tiers, art galleries and museums.
Ii Mr.. Bashford sees fit to take ref
uge behind the library commission,
then let that honorable body appoint
a live woman deputy to preside over
the well-being of that institution, and
our word for it, there will be no more
smoking, no more spitoons, no more
vitiated air in or about that State in
stitution.
1t will be remembered that during
the administration of his Excellency
Ex-Governor Newell, the late Mrs.
Judge Irwin held the office of Terri
torial Librarian. And although the
library occupied n suit of dingy rooms
in the old shack, yclept the State
building, the scrupulous neatness that
reigned in and about the library apart
ments was theme of general COM
ment. Nobody complained OF the
smoking habit or despatched spitoons
i'll the library during that estimable
lady's efficient regency.
But without further argument or
multiplication of words, it is evident
enough that smoking in the State Ii
brary can be abated, and it should be
done at once. Let us have cleaner IL
brary rooms to show to visitors from
abroad.

CHAIRMAN Jones of the Democratic
National Committee, now abroad, is
reported to be in better health and
will soon return to this country, but
it is not believed that he will consent
to manage the campaign OF 1900. He
is true friend of Bryan and an un.
compromising advocate OF free silver
and his loss to the party management
will be distinctly felt. Even his polit-
ical foes credit him with being a Wig.
orous and fair fighter. 1t is believed
in Washington that Mr.. Jones will
stay in harness long enough to see his
favorite renominated and then give
way to younger but hardly ADLER
man. the arduous duties connected
with the management of q political
campaign.

it upon another. The French people

FOR posTorrIcE AUTHORIZATIONS.
senate Agrees to Vote on the Measure
This Afternoon.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20-During almost
six hours this afternoon the postofIlce APP
propriation bill was under discussion in the
senate, the time being consumed largely by
Mr.. Butler, populist of North Carolina and
Mr.. Pettigrew of South Dakota in an amend
ment providing that the postal commission
should present its final report to congress
by March 1, 1900. Failing after many trials
to obtain unanimous consent for the inser-
zion of the amendment in the bill, Mr.. Butler
permitted 1t to come to a vote. II was de-
feated % to 49, Agreement was reached
to vote on the bill and amendments at 2
O'Clock tomorrow.
At o'clock Mr. Hawley, chairman of the
military affairs committee, moved to take
up the army reorganization bill, unanimous
consent having been refused to take up the
measure without dispiacing the unfinished
business-the anti-scalplng bill. Mr.. Haw-
ley's motion prevailed, A TO 26, this making
the army bill the unfinished business.
1t is agreed that this action disposes finally
of the snti-scalpng bill for the present ses-
sion.
When the senate convened Mr.. Chandler
offered a motion to reconsider the vote by
which the naval personnel bill was passed
and that the measure be recalled from the
corrected. The order was made
Mr. Cockrell secured the passage of reso-
luton calling upon the secretary of war for
detailed information as to the cost of the
army under the proposed Hull bill.
The house amendment to the bill author
izng the president to appoint cadets to the
Naval academy was concurred in. The bill
now goes to the president.
Bills were passed as follows: Attaching
Claiborne county, Mississippi, to the west
ern division of the southern district of Mis-
sissippi; amending an act providing for the
change of time and places of holding the
district and circuit courts of the northern
district of Texas.
Consideration of the postoffice appropria-
tion bill was then resumed and Mr.. Butler
Of North Carolina continued his argument
in favor a reduction of S6,000000 in the
amount paid for railroad mail transporta-
ton.
The senate voted "A to 26 to proceed with

TRAINS MUST BE OBLIGING
Supreme Court Rules in Favor of
Ohio Law to Compel Three
StOppages Day.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-In the United
States supreme court today a decision was
handed down by Justice Harlan, constituting
the constitutionality of the state law of
Ohio regulating the stoppage of through
trains at stations in the state. The law re-
quires that any railroad company in the
state shall have at least three trains a day,
IL so many are run, stop at any station on
its line containing not less than 5000 popu-
latlon.
The action was begun against the Lake
Shore company because OF its refusal to
obey the law by having as many as three
of its trains stop at the town of West Cleve-
land The railroad company contended that
the statute was antagonistic to the federal
constitution in that it interfered with com
merce between the states. The court held
this contention to be unfounded, saying that
the question involved was only that OF sub
serving the public convenience and that the
state had a right to legislate to that end.
The judgment OF the supreme court OF Ohio
was therefore affirmed, Justices Brewer,
Shiras, White and Peckham dissented, and
Justices Shiras and White delivered dissent
ing opinions.

CUBANS EXPECTED To ACCEPT
Arrangement Proposed for Payment
of the Native Troops by Aid of
Authorized Loan.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Efforts are max
ing, with every prospect of success, to rec
oncile the radical element among the Cubans
to the proposition of the United States gov
ernment to pay the soldiers of the Cuban
cause $3,000,000. This is expected to be ac-
complished through rather sweeping au-
thorization by the United States government
for the incurrment of a considerable loan to
make good the deficiency between the sum
the United States agrees to pay to the troops
and the sum the Cuban leaders believe to be
the smallest that can be paid with benefit
and due regard TO justice.
So far the proposition has not taken the
official shape here, but the administration
has been quietly sounded by the Cuban con-
tingent, who have expressed qualification at
the prospects. General Gomez himself is
expected to broach the plan formally when
he begins his conferences with General
Brooke in Havana. Gomez arrived today at
Matanzas, making his way very slowly
towards the capital.
What is proposed is that the United
States shall sanction the floating OF bonds
by the Cuban municipalities or provinces to
the amount of S7,O00,00O; which sum Is to
be paid over TO the Cuban troops in addi-
tion to the $3,OOOOOO to be paid by the
United States. The municipalities are to set
aside certain proportion from the receipts
from customs and other sources OF taxa
tion to meet the bonds.
In addition to this the United States gov
ernment is to be asked to sanction the re-
demption out of the customs receipts of the
bonds issued in aid Of the Cuban rebellion
to the amount OF $4,000, 900. Data, it is
stated here, will be produced by the
Cuban assembly to show that every cent OF
this sum was expended in legitimate war
expenses.
