The senate's substitute Chinese exclusion
bill is altogether preferable TO the house
measure. The present law is suficiently
drastic. That II is effective enough has
been shown by the experiences OF the United
States for the last ten years. The minute
provisions Of the house bill, besides being

at variance with treaty provisions, were
unnecessarily irritating to Chinese feel
ings. 1t is unfortunate that exclusion is
necessary. AS 1t is it should be carried
out as d~ecently as possible.

Comptroller Westberg tries to Justify
his habit of meddling with other peo-
pies business by quoting from the die
tionary, which defines IF comptroller to
be IA critic, a Pathfinder, n constant
censurer of public officials ON behalf of
the people, This definition does not fit
Mr.. Westberg individually or collect
lively. If in the past he could only have
found time to attend strictly to his Off
cial duties the taxpayers of Omaha
would have been better off by many
thousands. For example, when the de-
~falcation in the city treasury occurred
while he was chief accountant of the
comptroller, he insisted that the defal-
cation was only $1,000, but when the
footings of the shortage were completed
they turned out to be $4,000 and the
city in the end lost $4,000 by the negli-
gence or incompetency of the constant
c~ensurer.'

MEETING OF LIBRARY BOARD.
Will Determine Use to Be Made of
Exposition Building.

The monthly meeting of the Public LII
brary Board will take place this afternoon
at o'clock, at which! time it is expected
plans will be outlined for making the St
Louis Exposition building, recently plr-
chased for a site for the Carnegie library
building. as profitable as possible until the
board is permitted to raze it to make way
for the library structure.
it is the general idea of the board that it
would not be wise to attempt to conduct
another exposition, as in the past 1t has
not been profitable. The building viii be
rented for concerts and operas and ath-
letic events of reputable character. When
ever there is any doubt in regard to that
matter the board will decide.
Frederick VI. Crunden. the boards Ii
hrari;in. said: Until the Worlds Fair is
over our object Is to make the Exposition
building as profitable as possible, and it
will be rented for any proper purpose. Aft
erwards It will be raZed. After the Fair is
over there will be a period OF depression
and it is my opinion that the erection of r
big building at that time will do the city
good. Material will be less expensive and
labor cheaper"

there are signs of public mourning. The

you not noticed that the papers are giving

GRIGGs HuRRIEs TO GOTHAM.
Chairman Will Confer With Tam
many Leaders on Resignation.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. May 15.-Chairman Griggs
of the Democratic Congressional Committee
left Washington to-day for New York to
confer with Democrats in that city upon
the effect of the change in the Tammany
organization on the congressional CAM
paign.
The resignation of Lewis Nixon from the
chieftainship of Tammany may somewhat
disarrange some of the weil-laid plans of
the congressional organization. Mr.. Nixon
had been chosen by the Democratic Con-
gressional Committee to be chairman of the
Finance Committee of that. body
1t was believed that his relations with
Tammany would prove beneficial to the
Congressional Committee.
Chairman Griggs will earnestly urge Mr..
Nixon to remain at the head of the Finance
Committee unless 1t should develop that
Mr.. Nixon and the rank and file of Tam
many might react to the detriment of the
general Democratic good. The Finance
Committee had about been made up when
intimation came of Mr.. Nixon's trouble and
announcement Of the committee has neces-
sarily been postponed.
The Democratic campaign managers are
desirous Of maintaining harmonious rela-
tions with Tammany For the purposes of
the congressional campaign all feuds are to
be healed and all Democrats are to be In
vited to participate in the victory which
the Democratic managers are planning. The
Executive Committee, whih has yet to be
announced will contain men Of prominence.

House of Commons to-day regarding the
measures proposed by the Government for
the relief of the sufferers from the VOL

reference to the steps taken. added:
I'VE have not taken account of the most
sympathetic manner in which the United

language. expressed their desire to share
in the work and rescue. AS to the man
ner in which this generous offer can best
be accepted the Government of the Wind
ward Isles has already been consulted"
Mr.. Balfour referred to the opening Of
the relief fund at the Mansion House by
the Lord Mayor, Sir Joseph Dimsdale. in
behalf of the sufferers of the island of ST.
Vincent, and said that Canada, Jamaica
and the other West Indian islands, and the
island of Mauritius. in the Indian Ocean.
had promised to help with money AID
goods.
Il have no doubt" he added " that the
other colonies will be equally generous. In
addition, the Governor of the Windward
Islands has been authorized to spend what
ever sums are necessary and the Imperial
Government is prepared to supplement the
Contributions from other sources to what
ever extent may be necessary.

great pleasure to offer assistance in any
manner most convenient to the sufferers
from the calamity. and to say that Il this
country could help by the loan of doctors
or the gift of medical comforts and pro-
visions that We were prepared TO act forth
with.
THE French Government replied. accept
ing, with gratitude, the offer of his Majes-

case there must be distinction between
oIr own colonies and those of another
Power in the expenditure of money. But
the Government. as stated. is prepared to
give comforts and provisions TO sufferers
