The anti=saloon people of Reatieia
have filed an additional rcmons!ranc1
with the county court against the
granting of saloon license at Redfiela.
and it contains seventy-one new
names. raising the number to 1856.
which they claim is largely more tlaH
the number required by law to defeat
the granting of saloon license
Judge Martin set the hearing of the
case for Wednesday, but it was cor.
tinued for the demonstrators, and WIZ
be heard later. The demonstrators
will have counsel from Fayetteville 1o
aid them when the case comes before
the court for disposal. and they arc
very sanguine of the results.
Those Redfield people who are i,r
favor of saloons in the town will at
tack the validity of the remonstrance,
it is said. on the grounds that it IS
not supported by majority of those,
residing within three-mile radius OF
the public schoolhonse, alleging thai
many of the names to the remon.-
strance are of people who live more
than three miles away. while others
are not bona fde residents, and they
will attempt to have many of these
names stricken off.
The anti=saloon people say they
were once defeated in that way, but
they have we'll fortified against that
kind of an attack this time. and that
when it comes to a showdown it will
be discovered that there is a big ma
jority of the bona fide residents with
in the three mile radius against tire
granting of saloon license
The contest promises to be a warm
one when it comes before the court
for hearing, and the anti-saoon pety-
pie say that if they lose in the county
court they will appeal it and fight to
a finish
The license is being held up pend
ing hearing of the remonstrance.

PLAN SERIES OF GREAT LIBRAR-
les

The problem of what people should
read is before the librarians of New
York in about as large shape as any
thing of the character ever came be-
fore like body, for to these gentlemen
is left the selection Of the books which
will make it possible for the readers
of the great city to begin to enjoy the
SIS, 2OO,0 900 given by Andrew Carnegie.
In large measure the people them
selves are entitled to say what shall
be put within their reach. On the east
side, for instance, it is found there is a
great demand for books of zangwilL
In another section it is discovered that
fiction authors have the call. Care
full attention is given and will be given
in the future to the wants of those
who read library books. From this it
may readily be gathered that one IL
brary will have books varying widely
from those Of some of the others. In all
there will be sixty of these libraries,
so distributed that nobody in search
of a story. or work of reference need
so more than quarter Of a mile for
/ it. When completely stocked each of
these centers of book distribution will
contain from 5000 to 10000 volumes.
The cost of these will vary to a con-
siderable extent, but the average will
not be far from $4,000.
once equipped the big burden Of
taking care of these magnificent lib
raries will fall upon the city of New
York. When the Carnegie money is
placed it is estimated the municipality
will be obliged to appropriate some
thing in excess of $4,000 year. From
four to six library buildings will be
erected each year after one general
design and all of them of Indiana lime
stone. The structures will be three
stories in height on lots fifty by one
hundred feet In each Of them the first
floor will be given over to books for
adults, the second to- books for chill
dren and the third will be devoted
largely to reading room purposes. Each
will contain about 1000 volumes Of the
best fiction and there will be frequent
transfers of volumes from section to
section of the city.
1t will be the initial purpose of d.
rector John S. Billings to see that no
books selected are morally hurtfuL and
to get as large collection Of helpful
volumes as possible without making
the library hopelessly dull.

CANADA RETALIATEs.

The inevitable has come in the case
of Canada. After. years of waiting for
some lowering of the tariff wall erect
ed by Republican policies against their
trade with this republic, the Canadians
have come to ask themselves whether
they, too, should not take steps to
guard themselves against invasion by
American manufacturers. This is fast
becoming the issue of the hour among
thoughtful Canadians. Population is
pouring in. Where love nor money was
adequate to secure an addition to
the tide is now setting in and from
the very country toward which Cana
dams had rushed for better social and
business conditions than they found at
home.
Canadians are asking each other why
they cannot reverse the figures repre-
scented by s12o.oo0,00o imports from
the United States and s6G,000,000 of
exports to that country. If they must
import manufactured articles there is
England, from which they can import
as cheaply, if not as promptly. The
tide of immigration has set their way,
and the 100000 Canadians in the
United States will soon be fully COM
pensated for by immigration from the
United States, unless there is a cessa-
ton of the present currents of settle
ment in Western Canada.
For two generations Canadian states
men have been urging reciprocity be-
tween their country and this. They are
urging it no longer. Retaliation is a
weapon which may be used by any
national hand when the occasion de-
nands. Retaliation on the part of
European nations has long been in con-
temptation. National jealousies have
protected us there. There is no such
protection in Canada. Unless we let
down the tariff bars, Canada will adj
just her policies and deal with us in
kind She is being compelled by the
progress of events daily to do so speed
i!y.
The resignation of Minister Tarte
from the Laurier cabinet is only sign
of the revulsfon in Canadian opinion on
the subject of trade relations with the
United States. They will no longer
