| From ''CftiDen.''
Last Sunday Spring.
Monday another young winter.
New store now doing business.
Conrad Ochs is employed to manage
new store.
Alfred Mayors is now our notary
public, call on him for official seats.
John Valerius, our druggist is now
esta blishing good trade.
Our doctor has had an unusual busy
time the past winter, attending the
many sick.
One day last week Reidel paid ten
cents per dozen for eggs, while some
others here PAID nine cents. Be
careful men or the wees nsy lead the
strong in prices.
Still another show exhibited in this
town one night last week. This time il
was scenes, with billy gost, trick pony,
and Two dorg attachments.
Nordman has his dwelling house
we'll along toward completion, and
when finished will be one of the neatest
and most convenient dwellings in town.
Merchant Brack don't appear to be
scared clear out of town yet, and has
now commenced to build large shed
rooms to store his lumber and farm
machinery.
Rev. Mr.. Newman preached a: the
Boyle school house, No. 81, in Albion
township, last Sunday night. Will
preach in the future for some time
every Sunday at that point.
Robert Boyle was suffering last
week with a severe cold or LaGrippe.
Rob clipped his mustache, which
possibly was one cause of that cough
ing.
1t is now ascertained to a certainty
who the proprietors of the new store
here are. And as they financially are
weighty firm our people naturally
expect and look for something to drop
in the near future. Will they be
disappointed?
AS we go to mail these items word
reaches US that Harry Brown, of
Grant Township, this county, lost his
pocket book containing considera BILE
money in this town Monday morning
of present week. And as Harry is a
poor man and good fellow we feel con-
fident the finder will give it to him.
Its possible that man who is the
owner of a little less then q township
of land and many thousand in personal
belongings free from all membranes
might be styled as a rather stiff
| financial back bone, and we are told
we have man just about that size
living in this town. Now the public
expects to purchase goods at living
prices.
Men don't always see, feel, or think
alike. and on the present war question
many of all political parties differ.
Call this bowling or call it what you
please, in our humble opinion the
Devil is just as liable to get war men
as he is to get them that howl against
war. Better watch out Col, the devil
may take you in first one.
Friday, morning of last week, when
the mail was opened and ready for
distribution the cry was for the DEMO
Graf. And when it was handed out
and looked over people were tickIed
and smiled all over, from the crown
of their heads to the sole of their feet.
And the universal expression was

fore Mr.. Chambers the Judge Of the Supreme
Court, acted within his right In deciding the
disputed election for King in favor of Malietoa
Tanus. For the Act Of Berlin Of 1880 expressly
declares that he shall have jurisdiction OF sncn
disputes. Nor does 1t lnvalIdate his action 10
urge that the inelgbllity Of Mataafa was
matter involving the Interpretation OF the
treaty. For the act also declares that he snail
have Jurisdiction Of all disputes arising under
the treaty His position is therefore in law I'M
pregnable. To dispute II would be to dispute the
Act Of Berlin. For the Municipal President to
usurp his authority would be gross breach OF
that act. For that President TO take any action
whatever on the sole direction or Germany
would be to violate that act. We are not yet
prepared to believe that Germany desires to
manifest so unfriendly a disposition toward
this country as she would do In countenanclng
such acts as those reported
Nevertheless, 1t Is remembered that the VISIT
Of some American warships to Samoa at the
beginning OF 1880 served wonderfully to clear
ND the situation there. And we own some iand
there which Is to be used as coaling and navai
station. And such occupation Of that land and
such visits of our warships are not at all pro-
hibited by the Act Of Berlin.

TIE LrBPARrAYsH1P OF CONGRESS.

Tint the late John Russell Young made
success ms Librarian of Congress is admitted
by nearly every one, including the professional
librarians and other educators who so strongly
opposed his appointment. But the satisfaction
he gave was not due to his previous training
ms Journalist. but rather to his fine executive
ability and the good judgment he exercised In
choosing many OF his assistants. It was
perous thing to place the foremost library oil
the country In charge of newspaper man abso-
lutey without experience in executive library
management; but in this one case it seems to
have been without detrment to the literary
public, and even to It's advantage.
Admitting all this, the fact still remains that
the position demands not merely an able man.
whether politician or newspaper man or lawyer
but the ablest professional talent in the field.
Now that the place must again be filed. why
not seek out the foremost professional librarian
in the country to occupy It? The time has gone
by when politician, no matter how able, or n
journalist no matter how successful or an
author. no matter how brilliant, should be
placed in such position, II these are his only
qualifications Altogether apart from recogniz-
ing Guardianship as the profession which It has
come to assume, the interests of the public de-
mAnQ tnat the GONpTUDleUl bUOulu otNuic lhO
very best man, educated, trained and expert
enced, to administer It's National library.
When preparation was being made to reor-
ganize the Library of Congress- the Joint Con-
gressional Committee on the Library properly
called on several of the leading members of the
American Library Association to give their
views on the changes necessary to meet the
new conditions. 1t was generally understood
ut that time that the scope Of the Library OF
Congress was to be SO expanded as to make 1t
National library. In fact, it was even sug-
gested that Its name should be changed to 1.-THE
National Library" Included among the libra
rans who appeared before the committee were
Herbert Putnam, librarian Of the Boston Pub
lie Library; William II. Brett, librarian Of the
Cleveland Public Library; George II. Baker,
librarian Of Columbia University library, and
Melvll Dewey, director Of the NewYork State
Library. Drawing on their wide experience In
library administration, they made many valua-
BILE recommendations, some Of which have been
Incorporated In the expanded plan for admins
terng the Congressional Library. At this
juncture II seems entirely feasible to secure the
services Of one Of these eminent men, an
other equally prominent In the library world,
not simply to give few suggestions, but to
administer permanently the library along the
lines of the latest library methods and IN keep
ing with the requirements Of a truly National
institution.
