The Carnegie Library.

Mr.. Horace White, Of New York
city. after careful investigation says
that Mr. Carnegie had January 5,
of this year, projected or found ed"
1,290 libraries, at cost of S39, 094 $3.50.
OF this vast sum three-fourths was ap-
portioned in this country
At considerable length Mr. White
proceeds to show the great benefit
that has resulted According TO his
figures, which none viii dispute, more
work has been done for free libraries
in the United States since 1891 than
III all its previous history, and one
man had done more of it than all 9th
ers put together The benefaction,
measured by results accepted in this
view, has been wonderful and unprec-
edented. Measured in mere num-
bers, it has been stupendous
1t would be far from any purpose
here to deery the genuine good
| wrought in this fashion by Mr.. Car
negie. Mr.. White, however, is in
clined TO give to the mass of dona-
tons a significance the business OF
which may be questioned, and to over
! look certain basic facts that may
not in fairness be snored
Mr.. Carnegie has given buildings in
which TO house Libraries for the most
part already in existence. An intel
ligent community will have its free
/ library. The character of the struc-
ture that shelters. this, so it be spa
cious and reason. ably free from liabil-

gifts only because Of the opportunity
to get something for nothing, and not

zens. By stipulation the cost of main

ted Mr. Carnegie TO have possessions
beyond all reason and measure.
The question is not asked by agita-
tor and malcontent aloz.e. The right
of an individual to win such fortune
:: ) by fair means he may, is not
sought to be destroyed. Had Mr. Car
negie been content with such profit as
the ordinary rules of business con-
cede to be legitimate he would not
now be sowing the face of the earth
with mementos of himself. He would
not be bufdened with a Stupendous
hoard the very accretion OF which,
strive as he can, he is unable TO Elk
pend He could have retired years
ago with ample money to crafty eV-
cry normal need, TO insure comfort to
the end Of his days, to have left
competency to his heirs. The heaped-
up millions, now being strewn lavish
ly, would have remained with the
whole people, and not thrown back
&c them in indigestible chunks
That the Carnegie gold now goes to
the produce and the craftsman is the
best feature of its going. It could
not we'll be given to a conscience
fund, if such were the wish, nor in
any other manner directly restored.
Perhaps the method devised is the
best possible, but the direct effect is
more upon the industrial than the
educational field.
