Large libraries have usually kept up
files of the newspapers of small cities
and towns on account of their local
historical value. The British muse
UNI, in particular, maintained great
collections of the sort The authOri-
ties of the museum have recently de-
cided to gain room by depositing their
mass of local journals at Il site in the
suburbs of London. and a bill has been
proposed in parliament to permit the
museum to distribute its files of local
newspapers among the libraries of va
rious county towns. The accumula-
ton of the books and newspapers even
in comparatively small libraries is
enormous library like the British
museum or the library of congress
must. by its very constitution, seek to
be complete, and completeness in a city
library involves excessive rent charges
for storage. For large libraries, as for
small, the pressing question is what
not to buy, what not to preserve

Shullsburg Local: The organization
OF Spooner clubs seems TO be bother
Ing the half breed papers. They even
have the nerve to say that the state
convention unanimously endorsed
Senator Spooner. They also say
there is no organized opposition to
him; if so, why did the delegates who
were instructed to support him pass a
resolution endorsing him conditional
ly? win the delegates elected by
the half breeds to the Senatorial and
county conventions give their sup
port to Mr.. Spooner or will they do
the same ~ heretofore? 1t seems they
are not TO be trusted and we think the
friends OF Hon. John G, SpoOner arc
Justified in electing delegates who are
his friends.

BURR W. JONES.

Many newspapers throughout the
state are praising the sterling worth
of Hon, Burr w, Jones aud testitytng
in the strongest mannor possible to
his eminent fitness for governor Of
Wisconsin, Their generous tribute Is
as spontaneous aud hearty as Mr..
Jones Ia modest and deserving. But
they overlook one very strong point
In favor Of his candidacy, namely;
his remarkable power rs cam
paigner Twice was he n candidate
for congress from the third district,
aud In hclpfulnoss to the Democratic
party the like OF his campaigning
was never experienced, before or
since, in southwestern Wisconsin.
He proved great vote gottor for the
whole ticket and strengthened the par
ty In every school district, The
nomination of MIR Jones Is greatly
to be desired. He would make n
strong canvass, and, if elected, II
most excellent executive.
