4 Ctrealation of any Newspaper in the Worlds ane as an Advertising Mediam ts worth more than all the ether papers published in Washington. A Correspondent, whose communication is ted In another column, suggests that space previded in the new post office building for ‘Washington public Mbrary. The idea is a fn one. It is discreditable that this need has not long ago been supplied. If suitable aad convenient quarters are furnished, such a¢ those suggested by this correspondent, the books ean readily be obtained. ‘The departmental libraries at the capital con- tain nearly 300,000 volumes, accessible only to # few employes of the government. The vast wealth of reading matter in the Congressional library is practically out of the reach of the workingmen, owing to the hours of opening and closing, and the conditions placed upon the ‘enjoyment of its privileges. Viewing this ocean of books, spread tantalizingly before him, the workingman, thirsty for the knowledge which comes from reading, might weil exclaim with the ancient mariner: “Water, water, everywhere, not any drop to drink! Nearly every little New England and Middle States town has « library of the kind needed here, not to mention the well-supplied large cities of the republic. In some of these smaller towns the records show that as many as one out of every five inhabitants, counting men, women and children, is registered as a bor- rower of these books. The statistics also show ‘that at first fiction was most largely drawn upon by such readers, but that as the taste for read- ing was acquired and developed, stronger food for the mind was demanded, and the ratio of serious reading steadily increased. Tho read- ing toom has proved a strong rival of the pool room and drinking saicon in claims upon the ‘evenings of many, especialiy the young, and has served as # satisfactory substitute for nightly idleness in dreary lodgings or on the streets. There have been several local movements toward securing sucha library. In 1887 the labor organizations of the city gave some at- tention to the matter and a number of citizens agreed to subscribe amounts for the purpose aggregating some $7,000. A library having a local character, installed in the new post office building, would certainly grow rapidly through private donations of books and money and when ithad demonstrated its usefulness and that it was appreciated by the public, some one of Washington's wealthy men might be moved by local pride or other good motive to endow it and give it a name. Last year the Commissioner of Labor eug- gested that arrangements might be made tc use the library connected with his department asthe nucleus of a free library and reading room, for the benefit of the general public, and © Dill was introduced to accomplish this pur- pose. In another part of today’s paper are collected interesting facts concerning ali of the departmental libraries. It appears that out- side of the technical books and works of refer- ence which have a direct bearing upon the work of the various departments these libraries contain many thousands of volumes which are of the kind found in the ordinary circulating library. The circulating books are also massed in certain departments and are not accessible to the employes in other departments. If the heads of all the departments affected were of the same mind as the Com- missioner of Labor, and Congress and the President should approve, this class of books might be separated from the technical and reference books, and placed in the post- office building as the nucleus of a public and departmental library. The books would thus become accessible not only to the general pub- lie, but to the clerks in all of the departments, instead of to those only who are employed in the with circulating libraries. To facilitate the drawing of books by the clerks the use of accredited messengers by them might be permitted for this purpose. The govern- ment would profit by a checking of the dupli- cation of circulating books in the various de- partments and the money might be applied upon this general departmental library. Many serviceable books might also be obtained from among the duplicates in the Congressional library, without the slightest injury to that Collection. Indeed it would be a benefit by in- ereasing shelf room to remove such superfluous volumes as could be utilized to advantage in the new library. If the District government has quarters in the post-office building its mu- nicipal library might be merged in this collec- tion, and some contribution toward the Port of the new library might well be made in the District a; riations. ‘The project of a public and departmental cir- culating library and reading room, open in the evenings, is worthy of the strongest and most enthusiastic labors in its behalf. It wili doubt Jess receive the hearty support of all friends of the capital and its people, who appreciate that ecity of @ quarter-million of inhabitants con- tains men to be considered, and not merely buildings, trees, statues and monuments. ——___-+2s___ When holy hands of horror are held up they should be hands that are themselves clean. To the American mind the attitude of a large por- tion of the English press in the matter of American treatment of the Indians is an atti- tude of errant hypocrisy. It is not forgotten a this side of the Atlantic that from time im- ‘memorial the British authority has been ex- tended arbitrarily and harshly over peoples tasty more intelligent and teachable than the aborigines of this country. Something over a eratary and a half ago British chicane and British arme swept the strongest of the Hindu powers out of the protection of France and into the control of nation whose boast is that 8 never stoops to placate inferiot races, never degrees itself by blending its blood with such peoples and forces what it wishes down the ‘Snwilling throats of barbsrians. The Ameri- can policy toward the Indians is liable to just criticism, but the ranting English rs overdo the matter in the expression of their hhorror and diagest.
