MEETING Of LIBRARY BOARD
Collection of Valuable Indian Relies
Can lie Obtained If Money is
Forthcoming.

At the meeting of the Omaha public library
board Friday night the main topic of in
terest was the discussion of whether or not
it would be advisable TO begin an Indian
museum in connection with the library. 1t
was ascertained that a collection of valuable
relics was for sale and the members of the
board favored obtaining them, but We're
handicapped by lack of funds. This matter
and also the matter of purchasing some Of
the curios at the exposition were put over
until another meeting.
Miss Tobitt said a good many things were
being sent to the museum now established
in the building which she did not feel were
worthy a place there She asked how she
was TO prevent the donating or loaning Of
articles which were of no value. Mr.. Hal
Ter thought 1t best that all articles should be
passed upon by the board, and hereafter
they will be stored in the basement until
such examination may be made.
Bills amounting to S1,222,13 were allowed
and some needed improvements. such as
doors on the third floor and cupboards on
the second were authorized.

stepped out to meet the tatterdemalion dele

& We call the attention of every
reader Of the REPUBLICAN to the
communication that appears else
where in the columns of this paper.
It relates to the proposed bill now
before Congress relating to the ship
ping industry Of this country. This
bill provides for the encouragement
pf American shipping, engaged in
foreign commerce and the payment
Of subsidies based upon the mileage,
Auch subsidies being conditioned on
the construction within five years
W new tonnage amounting to not
less than 20 per cent. Of the amount
Of subsidies paid. The bill pro-
vides for American registry Of for
sign trade only for foreign built
vessels, actually owned or construct
ed by American citizens upon the
condition that new tonnage equal
to at least 50 per cent OF foreign
vessels shall be constructed within
4 period of five years. In the year
1877, but eleven per cent. of our for
.eign commerce was carried in Amer
lean bottoms. This is in direct
contrast to years ago, when IS per
gent. of the foreign trade was done
BY American vessels. Two hundred
million dollars are thus paid out by
American shippers to foreign own
srs for freight and passage money
that goes out of the country which
should be retained to reward Amer
lean labor. The Government has
need of well established ship yards
as shown in the late war with Spain
when it had to seek foreign ship
yards for vessels. The bill is Il
good one and should become law.
