The statehood fight down in Indian terri
tory and Oklahoma Is growing interesting.
The Oklahoma people want the two terri
tories merged into single state, pointing
out that they would make one compact and
populous commonwealth. The other folks,
however, do not desire to lose their iden-
ttty, fearing that Oklahoma would get the
name and the credit OF the statehood. They
feel rather jealous Of the newer territory
anyhow, it having been carved from the
borders Of the old organization. The propo-
sitfon to unite the two into one state is
likely to command strength in Congress.
despite the threat Of the Indian territory
people to fight any statehood movement on
this basis. 1t is to be questioned whether
there will be any pronounced public sup
port Of the two-state project.

books for the Public Library.

The District appropriation bill for The
current fiscal year should have carried with
1t an appropriation for the purchase OF
books for the Public Library in such num-
bers as to ensure the opening OF the new
building with respectable showing On The
shelves 1t was clearly pointed out that
such an anticipatory provision would pre-
vent an embarrassing situation later. But
Congress last winter ignored The plea. The
library building will be finished some time
In May. The regular District appropriation
bill. in ali probability, win not be passed
much If any before the first Of June. 1t may
not be passed even until after the close Of
the fiscal year. as has heretofore happened
on occasions. In any event. the money for
the new books imperatively needed for the
library cannot be had in hand for ct least
five months through this measure This
means that it will be impossible. unless
some other way is found to meet the case
to open the new building with a decent
showing Of books on the shelves It Is
strongly urged by the librarian Of Congress-
out of his own wide experience, that every
effort be exhausted to prevent the opening
of the building-which In this case Is al
most tantamount to the Inauguration of
the library itself-with bare shelves. Such
a spectacle would be humiliating to the
people Of the District, reflection upon
Congress as the Districts legislature and a
check upon the development and the popu-
larity of the library.
In order to provide the volumes necessary
for the proper opening of the building the
trustees have asked for an appropriation
of $4,000. and the Commissioners have ap-
proved that estimate and forwarded it to
Congress 1t is assured that several
months of hard work will be necessary to
expend this money properly and to cat
alogue the books. mass of uncatalogued
books viii be of no value to the readers
So the money should be appropriated i'm
mediately. unless Congress Is willing to
permit the opening of the new building
with a discreditable showing of empty
shelves. This can be done by means of the
urgent deficiency bill. which is usually the
first of all the supply bills to be passed. 1t
is likely that this measure will become law
shortly after the Christmas holidays and
| the book fund for the new library building
| would thus become available in season.
| with hard work by a competent force of
cataloguers. for the opening in May. The
| Public Library committee of the Board Of
Trade has recommended this course as the
only way now available for avoiding
humiliating spectacle next spring on the
| occasion of the opening. The course Is
| urged. indeed, by every consideration of
pride in the capital and this new institu-
tton. which has already. even with it's
scanty stock of books and It's inadequate
! equipment, demonstrated it's great useful
ness to the people Of the District

A Long Contest Ending.

That fsthmYan canal so long dreamed or.
thought OF, wished for and worked for' Is
at last '1n sight" The Hay-Pauncefote
treaty is on the eve Of ratification ana
following that in reasonable time should De,
and presumably Will be, the necessary
legislation by Congress for putting in the
first spade on the great work. The rest
will be mere business detail. The method
of prosecuting the work, and the length OF
time necessary for its completion, will call
for sound Judgment and good management,
but there need be no great uneasiness on
that score. Government contracts are not
always promptly executed, and government
estimates of cost are not always accurate,
But as this undertaking is exceptional in
every way, let us hope it may prove so in
this way as In other ways.
The piercing of the isthmus has been 50
long contemplated that familiarity with the
topic has in measure dulled the popular
appreciation Of Its tremendous Importance.
1t will prove to be the greatest achieve
ment in the cause of progress of modern
times. 1t Will complete and crown that
chain of feats which has made of this
world neighborhood of men. Cutting
across lots has been the order of the day
for full century; and the humiliation of
thousands of miles Of sea voyage on the
passage from the occdent to the orient
with the occident the seat of commercial
power and the orient just waking up to
the advantages of new systems and en-
Joyments-is something the whole world
could afford to celebrate by a series of
formal fetes. When the canal Is opened
and the first ship enters for passage
through. maybe the President of the United
and set off the steam whistles and the bells
from Greenland's icy mountains to India's
coral strand" That will be noise which,
If less notable and far less musical than
when the morning stars sang together. will
yet be truly big time in the history of
this world OF ours.
Congratulations are in order, and should
be dispensed with liberal hand. Only the
continental railroads of this country, and
their tools in and out of Congress, are de-
MED a share of the universal gratitude.
Democrats and republicans alike in the
United States have wrought to the great
end. Englishmen and Americans, after
years of wrangling and playing at cross
purposes. have put aside all differences and
difficulties. Presidents OF the United
States. without distinction of party, have
favored the enterprise. And last, but not
least. the names signed to the treaty are
those OF as capable and patriotic men as
have ever served their respective govern
ments in high office. John Hay and Lord
Pauncefote deserve well Of their country
men. and are assured of permanent fame.

New York sprucinr I'm.

Things are moving In New York along
the line Of moral betterment, even in ad-
vance Of the assumption Of office by the
fusionists The other day a police captain
was convicted Of neglect Of duty and he
was subsequently dismissed from the force
in consequence of this action. He was one
of the most effective OF the Tammany cap
tains in working the great graft. Deputy
Commissioner Devery is on trial for some
of his tyrannical actions toward the men
who refused to bend the knee to the ma
chine. Captains of the force are actually
raidng pool rooms and other joints without
being forced to do so by the anti-vice So
ciety. The latest raid resulted in the cap
ture Of the policy king whose connec-
ton with Tammany has been close in the
past. Enough evidence was collected, 1t
was afterward reported. to send large
gang of the gamblers to prison, and per-
haps to afford clues to the principals In the
great game. which 1t is known embraces
some of the leading exponents Of the Tam
many system Of government. At this rate
Mayor Low and District Attorney Jerome
will enter office with the reform movement
already under working headway. It would
be striking commentary on the mutability
of life in large cities for these purifiers to
find their paths eased for the regenera ton
of New York largely in consequence of the
eleyenth-hour repentance or forced virtue
of the heelers and their official allies.

Next Years EucamDment.

The decision of the Grand Army of the
Republic to hold it's next annual encamp-
nsent in this city follows the line of nat
ural selection. Washington Is becoming
more definitely each year the logical city
for the assemblage Of great national organi-
zations. especially those of a patriotic char
acter. 1t offers a maximum of historical
interest and its associations are all such
as to endear 1t especially to the veterans of
the civil war. Next years encampment will
occur Just ten years from that extraordf-
nary assemblage which brought the Grand
Army to Washington for the first time in
its history. Probably never before or since
has there been such a gathering of old
soldiers. Elaborate and costly provision
had been made not only to entertain all
who would naturally attend the encamp-
ment. but to secure the attendance and
comfort Of veterans who without aid would
be unable to visit the capital. The pur-
pose. which was executed with exceptional
success, was to bring to this city the full
est possible attendance of the old soldiers.
who had not thus formally visited the fed
eral city since the grand review In 1866.
The capital city has always felt proud
OF that encampment, as doubtless has the
Grand Army Itself. 1t was a red-letter oc-
,casion In the history of both the city and
the organization. The District cannot hope
to repeat next year what was done ten
years ago. The elaborate entertainment Of
1872 involved a local cost which cannot
be easily computed, in view of the direct
violation by Congress Of the organic act
In providing the entertainment fund ap-
preparation. That disastrous form of ap-
preparation will never be duplicated with
the consent Of the people OF Washington
The Grand Army will find here a conven-
tiou city of unique interest in itself; and
the veterans will be greeted with that
hearty hospitality which the capital ex-
tends TO all assemblages of American citi-
zens as honored guests within it's gates

Bishop McQuaid and the Friars.


At recent missionary conference Held
In Rochester. New York. a bishop of the
Episcopal Church referred in severe terms
10 the conduct Of the Spanish friars In the
Philippines. This has aroused Bishop Nc
Quaid of the Roman Catholic diocese of
Rochester, who, in a reply, uses the fol-
lowing language:
Il have certain knowledge that the con-
duct Of the friars IN the Philippine Islands
can be fairly compared with the conduct
OF the ministers In the bishops own church
Is false to assert that education was not
given 10 the great majority OF these people
Iney mad a morality that am afraid they
VIII never know again since the introduce
ton of American civilization"
Bishop McQuaid owes II to himself to al
once give the public the benefit of this
certain knowledge" which puts the frtars
In the Philippines on a par for character
with the ministers and priests In ths
United States. II is wholly at variancs
with testimony from a thousand othe,
sources, and all within the pale Of his owr
church. Has Bishop McQuaid never seer

the advantages Of the Montauk Point pro-
ject are more apparent than ever. Large
interests In New York are opposed to the
scheme. for it would deprive the North
river OF vast amount OF shipping. But
the economy of time involved Is becoming
annually greater and more important. and
the intense rivalry of the ocean liners for

be effected, with the passengers landed at
Montauk Point. which lies at the extreme
eastern end Of Long Island, and railroaded
to New York with q minimum OF delay,
while the steamers carry the freight on to
the city docks more leisurely. The topogra-
ply OF Long Island permits a practically
indefinite duplication of tracks throughout
its length Of approximately 120 miles.
Trains could be run between the landing
place and the city in two hours, under
favorable conditions, while the trip from
Montauk to the city by water would re-

could be dispatched from Montauk Point
to practically all points north, west or
south for continuous travel.
