On Public Service.

One Of our senior members in the fedora
ton, who has filled many Offices of honor
and trust, and who knows from experience
how it is herself, con tributes the follow
ing on Public Service:
I'VE recently listened to lecture upon
The Cultivation of the Sympathetic for
Public Service" 1t Was a good lecture
and will bear reflection. 1t is the way
Of the world" to criticise the living and
eulogize the dead. 1t is a poor, I'M
worthy way, and as a senior member Of
the state federation, We suggest to the
younger members the cultivation of the
sympathetic for the public service our
officers give. The tender consideration,
the helpful suggestion, the timely deed Of
real need and the unrestricted word of
praise. General officers specially need
communication and all help that can be
given them. No one who has not borne
the burdens Of honorable and arduous
office. has any idea of the unremitting toll,
the strenuous endeavor and the useless
effort our officers have. If they serve
without pay save the brief honor, so
much the more, if they are worthy, should
they be given the most thoughtful con-
sideration by ready compliance with all
their wishes and by spoken praise for their
work.

The Library Committee Of the State Fed
Grafton, in expressing its gratitude for all
outside help in creating a sentiment for
and securing the passage of the Travelling
Library bill. says: '"The credit for the
successful work of the State Federal ton in
obtaining a Travelling Library belongs not
to one committee or one person, but to
every man and woman who helped. and
especially to the club women all over the
state. who persistently wrote letters and
sent petitions asking their members and
senators to support the measure. Some Of
the legislators said they would not dare
go home without having provided library
privileges for country and village people
The members of the Library commit
tee are under obligations to each and
every member who in any way helped in
the legislative work this winter
MRS. W. A. JOHNSTON"
Chairman State Library Committee"
While all this is true, to the faithful Wig
lance of the chairman of the committee,
Mrs. Johnston, who was ever watchful of
the slightest detail, is due perhaps more
than anything else the successful pas
sage of the bill. For her loyal, faithful
work she will always be remembered in
connection with the State Travelling Ii
brary.

The Friends in Council are this year
studying Spanish History. They find the

account Of the interest every one has at
this time in the affairs of Spain and her
colonies.
A very pleasant feature of this club work
is Current Topics and Book Reviews"
They have discussed woman's work in
the late war, and the growth of the Red
Cross movement; the Chinese and the EN-
press Dowager: Nicholas II. and the
Peace Manifesto; Cyrano de Bergerae,
Lissot. Burns, Jones. and others: review
ed the Life of Tennyson by his son, and
next week will he entertained with the re-
views of "Ari Roma Immortalis" and
''Helbeck of Bannisdale."
The Friends in council have enlarged
their membership by taking in the daugh-
tiers Of members. and find that the new
life and thought of these bright young
girls fresh from school and study has
AIDED interest to the club.
Mrs. Paul Brooks is president of this

order that the building might have ade-
quate surroundings and immunity from too
close association with the commercial struc-
lures of the city But it was recognized
that If the site question We're interjected
into the case the chances of securing legis-
lation of any kind would be materially d.
minished. The matter was most urgent
The President in his annual message and
called attention pontedly to the danger and
the supervising architect of the treasury
and the District Inspector of buildings had
given detailed reasons for the belief that
it would be menacing life to continue longer
the use of the old building with its crowd
of occupants and its heavy loads of books
and papers. Accordingly it was realized
that of the two evils that of further delay
was decidedly the more to be feared. In
contrast with the jeopardy of life and limb
which the tenancy of the building under eX-
listing conditions created the question of
the site was of the slightest Importance.
Hence the decision was reached in the Sen
ate, which was applauded by the officials
of the department and by the public, to
proceed with the work of construction on
the land already owned by the government
adjacent to the existing site. With this
enactment secured there is every reason to
believe that the danger of a catastrophe,
which is daily becoming greater, will very
soon be definitely averted. for with the re-
moval of the Court of Claims temporarily
to other quarters the loads in the old struc-
ture can be rearranged to diminish
the strains which have for some years been
developing cracks in the walls.
Evening star., 1899-03-03
The District Bill.

Whatever may be its final condition as
il reaches the President for signature, the
District appropriation bill for the forth
coming fiscal year will evidently be in the
main acceptable to the people of the capt.
tai. To begin with the House passed the
bill carrying a larger sum than ever be-
fore at that stage of the procedure. Then
the Senate added to it generously. and the
House has thus far accepted very nearly
half a million dollars of the Senate's In
creases, bringing the total to a point which
while far from rising to the estimates
meets the most urgent OF the real needs of
the District. There are reasons for disap-
pointment, of course. No local budget was
ever framed which met every need and
and probably none will ever be framed to
that end. But the causes for regret are
relatively unimpOrtant when the general
tendency of the bill toward proper provi-
sioning is considered. There has been prac-
tically no disposition in the appropriation
bill itself TO ignore the principle of the or
ganic act, whatever may have been done
outside of that measure. For the good fea-
lures of the bill as it stands the people of
Washington owe their thanks to the mem
bers of the two appropriations committees,
and the others among their legislators, who
perform their constitutional duties toward
the capital faithfully and inteiligently in
spite of congressional inertia and the con-
Trajectory appeals of citizens.

lived outside the pale of fashionable exac-
tions. For these reasons his enemies are
predicting now that he will shame the state
in his office by failing to meet its social re-
Guirements.
This is a hasty assumption. The fact
that the new president Is of country birth
and breeding, and has retained through life
some of the homely qualities of his early
surroundings. is no reason for condemning
him without trial in his present office. He
may rise to the occasion as easily as he has
risen to the office. If he may not hope for
his predecessors success in social matters.
there is good right to feel that he will
achieve success enough. He is undoubt-
edly a substantial man of excellent parts.
In the larger view of matters it is bless
ing to France probably that he comes from
the country: and he will serve the state all
the better for making other than Paris
ian valuation of affairs. Outside of Paris
France is sound. Her people are capable
ard thrifty, the family life is pure and
wholesome, and patriotism is rated high
1t is this so-called country life, therefore,
as distinguished from the Partisan lfe
which has always been tainted and hollow
to which France should oftener go for her
leaders. The decline of the Partisan in in
fuence at home will greatly benefit the
whole French people.
