Injunction Against Terminal Change.

Chicago, March 9.-United States
District Attorney Bethem, representing
the interstate commerce commission,
filed a bill in the United States circuit
court asking an injunction restraining
nine Of the leading railroads entering
Chicago from the west from imposing
the 81 terminal charge at the stock
yards. February 81, after thorough in
vestigation. the commission sent no
tees to the railroads that the 81 fee
was illegal. This warning was disre-
garded by the companies. If an in
junction is granted it will mean ap-
parently a loss of several thousands of
dollars a day to the railroads.

Statistics as to the first half-year's use
of the Washington Public Library by the
people of the District. as contained i'll the
librarians report published today, DEM
onstrates the local need of book-Circulating
facilities. With a very small equipment
of books, with an entirely inadequate force
and a barely sufficient housing, with a lack
of funds for the necessary extension OF
certain lines of literature, this library has
proved its usefulness far beyond expecta-
tons. The total issue of 81, 154 books with
in less than six months, with an average
stock of about 13,oOO, affords a basis for
computing the value of the institution to
the people. At this rate the whole library
will circulate itself ten times within each
year And 1T may well be believed that
the rate of circulation will be maintained
and even increased the stock of books is
enlarged, thus reaching more tastes and
giving the users of the library more en-
enlargement to seek the works they de-
sire. II is difficult to estimate the value
of the modern public library in the de-

current of vital thought is let into the daily

OF the institution clearly. There must be
more money for the purchase of books and
for the employment of assistants. The
value of the library will be measured by it's
efficiency of equipment in both these di-

of Washington have taken a hearty and
most cOmmendable interest in maintaining

both of money and of books, is satlsfactor-

The generosity of Mr.. Carnegie, which will
soon result in the creation of a beautiful
home for the collection, may confidently
be expected also to prompt an outpouring
OF means, both from Congress and from
the people, sufficient in season to give the
collection a size and character in proper
ton to its new housing.

That the lowest possible rates for any
service depending upon public support not
only increases business but increases
profits, as well. everybody believes, and
the fact has often been demonstrated, and
in many different ways. But one of the
most conclusive instances is furnished by
the recent experience OF the Japanese gov
eminent, in the matter of the railway lines
of that country. which it owns and man
ages. The department having them in
charge decided some time ago to increase
the rates of fare by one-third,-the old
charge being half cent, a cent and cent
and half per mile. for third, second and
first-class passengers, respectively. The
result, greatly TO the surprise Of the au-
thorities, was an immediate and marked
loss, instead of a gain, both in receipts and
in net profits.

The base ball season of 1899 has ended
with an understanding that each of the
twelve clubs forming the National League
has earned for its owners profit for the
six months work, save, perhaps, the CIeve-
land club. Even Washington. which fin
ished in the place next to last, is said to
have closed with a comfortable balance.
Thus. from a business point of view, the
season has been satisfactory to the owners.
Opinions as to the artistic success of the
years play vary with the location Of the
observer. 1t is in season to assume for
the time the Washington point of view.
Base ball Is now an institution so closely
connected with the peoples recreation and
interest that 1t is to be regarded at times
seriously and analytically. 1t is the conf
dent opinion of most observers, both in and
out of Washington, that this city is an ex-
cellent field for the sport. 1t Is believed
that with team here that could be relied
upon to win two-thirds of the games at
home and half Of the games abroad large
profits would be reaped by the owners.
Such team would necessarily stand In the
FIRST division" OF the league, and would
draw, 1t Is estimated. an average attend
ance of at least two thousand people. This
being the case. 1t seems strange that ad-
vantage has not heretofore been taken of
the situation to establish club here which
would arouse the enthusiasm of the people.
The winning of the pennant by Brooklyn
this year shows what can be done by skill
full management in assembling strong
team out of various elements. OF course,
all cannot be pennant winners. Some must
lose enough games to give others the lead.
And there is limit to the supply of highly

performers is in general terms as good as
anothers. The cities are no longer the
scenes of local enterprise. The ownership
of the club is not determined by the RESI-
dence of the capitalists. With Philadelphia
capital invested in Washington. Baltimore
capital in Brooklyn, Cleveland capital in
St. Louis and Chicago and Boston capital
in New York, the old restrictions upon the
game are removed. With the system of
syndicate ownership in vogue, too, there is
ers from team to team may SAVIOR of jock
eying and hfppodroming, faint from which
the game was freed several years ago, it
was thought forever. There is now a pros
pect of a base ball war" a rival league
being in process of formation, which in
cludes this city in it's circuit. The spectacle
of rival clubs playing in Washington might
develop to the full the capacity of the Dis
trict to support winning as well as a losing
team, and the contrast would possibly be
wholesomely instructive. In any event, it
is to be hoped for the sake of the sport
itself that Washington may some day get
its deserts in the way of a representative
in the big league which will reward the
tronage, and afford them a satisfactory
means of entertainment in the name of the
national game.

The order of the Washington authorities
is wise one, and boards of aldermen gen.
orally should enact ordinances prohibiting
the use not only of cannon crackers and
dynamite torpedoes. but also of the small
paper cap which has caused so many deaths
among the handlers of the toy pistol. The
paper cap Is a seemingly harmless thing
but the illuminate it contains is poisonous
and has caused innumerabie cases of lock-

COlumbia's performance yesterday in the
first actual race of the Americas cup con-
test was satisfactory from every point of
view In the first place, she won Her
winning, too, was clear-cut and decisive
There was no fiuke to account for her
showing Of superiority. She won the race
in her windward work which has been pro-
claimed by some observers as the chal-
lenSers strongest point. She was mag
nIiicently handled, her management being
50 far superior at the start that the race
was practically lost by Shamrock's skipper
in the first half hour. Having beaten
Shamrock by ten minutes in the run into
the wind. the defender showed that she
could draw away in the run home before
the wind. gaining twenty-five seconds on
that leg Of the course
One of the most satisfactory features of
this first victory is that it quiets the croak-
ers who have been proclainling during the
days of disappointment that Columbia was
being badly sailed by amateur Shippers
So far from the truth was this fll-natured
bit OF pessfmism that the first race brings
forth a hearty burst of praise for the man
agement Of Columbia from Captain Hank
Ham. who has been conspicuous in the
criticisms of the new defenders previous

As a result of the previous dfSappOint-
ments and OF the unproInising outlook yes
terday morning, there were but few excur-
sion steamers on hand when the yachts
crossed the line, and hence perfectly clear

Thus the failure of the wind during the
previous fortnight brought its good results

would nave succeeded in keeping the course

Tor the failures have demonstrated at least
that II IS possible TO guard the lines and to

Just as sportsman-Iike in defeat as he has
been throughout the preliminaries He still
hopes that a different style of wind will

Tho greetings to the. President throughout
the northwest are Of an enthusiastic de
scription The crowds are large and the
cheering is hearty. The President is speak
ing directly to the point. and that gives to
the appreciation expressed substantial
hearing The applause evidently means
more than that always to be expected upon
the apuearance of the President or the
United States in any American community.
There are two points of especial note in
connection with this journey and these dem
onstrations. The President, as he mentions
IN his speeches. is traversing part OF the
louisiana purchase. When that DOMAIN
was acquired the agony of those in Oppo-
siti0n was as acute as is that of the At
kinsonians now in the matter of the Phil
ippines Predictions Of disaster We're made
by statesmen of high credit. Some of them
went SO far as to date the downfall OF the
republic from an act which they character
ICED as one of criminal and inexcusable
folly But the republic has survived, and
the Louisiana purchase is not Overpraised
in the Presidents words 1t is a garden
spot and it gives to the country as a whole
both geographical strength and proportion.
But say the Atkinsonians. the territory
was contiguous; no great ocean divided it
remote from the seat of government than
the Philippines are today. Railroads and the
telegraph were unknown. and a favorite
joke Of the anti-expansiOnists the pic
turing of a representative of a district in
the new possessions starting to Washing
ton months before the meeting day of Con-
gress and in danger of getting lost on the
way.
The second point of interest relates to the
effort. emanating from the Atkinsonian
quarter. 10 embroiI this country with Eng
land over the troubles in South Africa.
We should go to the relief. it is asserted,
OF a sister republic. Look at the Boer oil
garchy. and then look at our fourishing
northwest. Men of foreign birth are nu-
merous in the northwest. They were Out
landers for brief season. They pitched
in and helped develop the country They
have helped to make 1t the magnificent en-
plre that it has become. Germans and
Swedes and Norwegians are there in force
But have they been kept at arms length?
Have they been denied voice in govern
ment? On the contrary, have they not been
welcomed as citizens and has not the way
been smoOthed for their participation in its
affairs? And have they not justified the
policy adopted a thousand times over? Are
better citizens to be found anywhere In the
United States?
The fact is that the so-called Boer re-
public is about much like the republic
OF the United States as chalk Is like cheese.

From the Chicago Record
Those who find little interest in the work

passed should be somewhat consoed by the
recent evidences of the fact that the

tons. printed and bound in style to ac-
cord with the requirements of modern book
making. seemed keener. The casual reader,
giancing over the publishers lists in search
for novelties, will be struck at once by the
number of standard works upon which the
publishers are lavishing the utmost care.
The list of these new editions of old
works is by no means confined to writings
which, like those of Shakespeare, are
deemed almost a necessity in every house

The great modern novelists from Baizac
and Thackeray down: the great poets from
Wordsworth to Longfellow; the greater es-
sayiStS and historians and biographers, are
all represented. There could be no more
healthful sign of the public's serious taste
for genuine litera ture than this liking for
standard works revealed in the demand
upon the publishers.
However great may be the output of new
books and however strong may appear to
be the literary fads and crazes, 1t is still

responsible. The state Is republican on fail
test between the parties. and has been
made so by the policies which the President
now represents and is enforcing Sound
money and protection have always carried
Ohio and no change of sentiment on those
subjects is reported. So that the lesson to
be drawn from a democratic majority in
Ohio next month would not involve the
President so much as it would condemn the
bitterness of factionalism and impress upon
republicans elsewhere the necessity of
holding together. The President will not
be Ohio's candidate next year SO much as
he will be that of the party at large.
In Nebraska Mr.. Bryan is exerting him
self to make fusion again triumphant.
The populists in the arrangement are car
rying the big end of the stick. They are
Mr.. Bryan's chief reliance there. But such
is not the case elsewhere. In the east and
throughout the south and the middle states,
his reliance is on the democrats, who, with
out him. would be all at sea. 1t IS true
that they are populists in all but in name.
and so is MIR. Bryan; but a distinction is
kept up, and Mr.. Bryan gets the benefit of
it. Fusion has failed elsewhere without
costing MIN prestige, and why should he
lose all if 1t should fail, too. in Nebraska ?
He will be less the candidate of Nebraska
next year than that of the democracy at
large.
