The Need of a reference Libr.rx

II is refreshing 10 note that bids for the
superstructure Of Washiugtons 5 new pub
lie library are soon TO be received. and
that there is a prospect OF its being an
nctual fact before very long That the
Capital OF the Nation has existed so long
without this convenience is one of those
things the reason Of which is not to be
discovered without considerable study.
The presence Of the Congressional Library,
which supplies the wants Of Congress
men and Of all residents who are not oc-
cupied at the times when it is open, IN
doubtedly accounts for the indifference
hitherto manifested in this matter; and
the fact that most Of the departments also
have collections of books which are avail
able to the employees has also something
10 do with it. There are. moreover. circu-
lating libraries which, for a reasonable
sum. supply subscribers with fiction and
magazines.

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

Hili Is for Coier--As an evidence OF
the Hon. David Bennett Hills earnest de-
sire TO swing New York into the Bryan
column this year is his ayoyed advocacy
OF the Hon. Bird s. Coler for the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nomination. Co,er is
indebted 10 the Hon. Hugh Mclaughlin, OF
Brooklyn. for the opportunity whicA he Eas
utilized to such excellent advantage in
heaping upon himself the hoEors of civic
fame and political prestige which he now
enjoys. Coler is in no sense creature OF
Croker. He has been at war with Tam
many ever since his election to the i'm
portant Office of Comptroller of Greater
New York, and it is not doubted that had
