Andrew Carnegie's offer to erect for the
Washington Public Library suitable
building At q cost of $50. 600, if Congress
will supply the site and suitable mainten-
ancc- crowns a long series Of library max
ing bcnefccnces. and is gladly and CRATE
fully welcomed by every one interested in
the welfare, Of the national capital.
The conditions are all favorable to the
PROMPT acceptance of this philosophical
Offer The law provides permanent quar-
tiers for the public library in new
municipal building to be hereafter erected.
The municipal building will probably be
built either upon the City Hall site or upon
the reservation in front of the market at
the corner Of Pennsylvania avenue and 1th
street. the space long ago designated for
this purpose. Whichever Of these two sites
is rot utilized for the municipal building
could well be devoted to the public library
separating the latter from the city struc-
ture. and dcvoting to its use the fine build
ing offered 10y MIR. Carnegie.
The condition concerning public mainten-
auce il already met The public library of
Washington was founded upon the principle
which has governed Mr.. Carnegie in his
numerous gifts Of libraries to Edin-
burgh. Ayr and Dumfermline in Scotland,
and to Johnstown. Pa; Fairfield, Iowa. and
to Allegheny City and Pittsburg. The
maintenance provision of the library from
the public taxes already approximates the
minimum of $4,000 stipulated a condi
tion Of the gift.
Mir. Carnegie is quoted as saying in the
Review of Reviews: THE result of my
own study of the question. What is the
best gift which can be given to a COM
muuity?' is that q free library occupies the
first place provided the community will ac-
cept and maintain it as a public institution
as much a part of the city property as its
public schools and, indeed. an adjunct to
these"
The Washington Public Library is by the
terms Of the statute creating it "a supple
meut of the public educational system of
the District maintained on the same
basis of municipal support as the public
schools. The benefaction of Mr.. Carnegie
thus finds here its requisite foundation. and
10 the memorials which. still living he
has erected to his memory in Scotland,
and in mis- own state Of Pennsylvania, he
will add nobler and more conspicuous one
in the seat of government OF Triumphant
Democracy, the national city of the great
republic

oh. the small boy thinks it glorious when
the ice is on the pond,
To glide around in unrestricted glee.
He buckles on his trusty steel with ex-
pectatiOn fond,
AS careless as L juvenile can be.
He doesn't know what pangs of woe assail
the kindly crowd
Who on the shore are raising such din,
AS they vairly seek to warn him with their
shouts prolonged and loud
That he's skating where the ice is rathe r
Oh, gentle Kaiser, pause awhile and heed
the parallel,
In gliding round upon the upper crust.
Look out for territory which you've not in
spected we'll;
Be cautious how You gaiiy place your
trust.
Oh, ponder or that small boy and the duck
ing which occurred

win.
Take off your crown minute and attend a
friendly word.
You are skating where the ice is rather

trial. Its partisans have forgotten justice,
equity, the national safety in the shouts
for the honor of the military organization.
1t has been believed that the leader of the
new France, should one appear. would be
an officer. There is one man in the
army today who fully meets the require
ments. Beaurepaires charges indicate that
the judicial system must be radically in
need of revision, even whether they are
true or not. He asserts that the chief
judge, Loew, being a Hebrew and Drey-
fusite, took pains to assemble for the re-
vision proceedings all of the elements favor
able to the exile and to Picquart, that he
showed in his questions and his rulings a
disposition to criticise and to suspect the
army, and in other ways reveals par
TALLY. At the same time Beaurepaire in
his very charges displays a passion of fac
tionalism which is utterly unsuited to the
judicial temperament 1t is reported that
the court is about to announce it's decision
that Dreyfus should be given a new trial.
This follows close upon a statement pub
hshed the other day, that it had practically
oecioeu TO reject lie appeal. In the light
OF the charges of Beaurepaire it is plain
that IN any event the judgment of the court
Will be received with suspicion and indig-
nant resentment on the part of one or the
other of the factions

sell the ground it now owns at the De
partment of Justice site and secure with
the money thus obtained an entire square
on the south side of Pennsylvania avenue,
which has been chosen by many authorities
as the proper location for all the buildings
which the government may erect in the
future. If this should be done. following
out the example set when the post office
was placed on the avenue, it would be pos
sible to afford ample space for the de-
partment, with artistic proportions of APP
proach and surroundings. But whether this
be done or the building be erected on the
present site, sufficiently expanded, it should
be assured that the building, when finished,
shall be a desirable addition to Washing
tons architectural features.
The experience of the government with
the post office should teach the lesson that
it is false economy to grant the fund ap-
prCpriated for the enterprise in annual in
stallments, and trusting to the artistic
tastes of successive architects to secure an
adequate crea ton. Indeed it has already
been pointed out by the chairman OF the
House committee on public buildings that
this record suggests that it is advisable that
the cost of the building be determined IN
advance and that its plans should be drawn
and accepted before work is begun upon it.
This was the program in the erection OF
the Library and il proved eminently sue
cessful. The successive changes in the post
office plan not only prevented the crea-
ton from approaching the ideal, but adoea
heavily to the cost and greatly prolonged
the period Of construction. 1t is, of course,
too late to alter the post office design to
accord more closely with the standards
which have latterly been raised, but 1t Is
not toe late to prevent further blunders IN
