THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: FRIDAY. os January 9, 1891. cxoss) [ 8. NOYES. THE EVENING STAK has the fallest Local Cireulation of any Newspaper in the Warld, und as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other papers pablished in Washington. Unless the clerks in the departments asa body would be benefited by the establishment of a general departmental library, to which the people of the city not employed by the govern- ment might also have access, the government should not establish such a library and Wash- ington will not ask it. The people do not be- grudge the elerks the library facilities provided for them and do not seck to decrease their facil- ities. On the contrary, the movement ix for the benefit of the clerks as weil as for that of other As statements, there are out of nearly 300,000 volumes in the tepartmental libraries only be- tween 20,000 and 30,000 suitable for a cieculat- ing library, and only two or three out of all the departments have any considerable num- ber of such works. These books, thus accemible only to the clerks in two or three departments ant acessible to them only so far as the frac- tion contained in theiz own library is con- cerned, would if collected in a general depart- mental library be open to all the clorks in all the departments. A great body of gov- ernment employes would enjoy privileges of which they are now entircly deprived. Those who now have a departmental cireulat- ing library at hand instead of being limited to the 5,000 or 10,000 volumes contained in it would have access to more than 20,000 in the general library, angmented by large additions which Mr. Spofford says can casily be spared from the Congressional library, and by private contributions, which, if the library were once started, would undoubtedly be considerable. ‘The clerks in the particular buildings in wich the circulating departmental libraries are now accommodated might suffer a trifling ineonvenience from the removal of these books a few from the present | quarters. But catalogues of the library should De in all the departments, and provision should be made by which the clerks could draw be squares from the library through accredited depart- mental me enience would thus be md as an off- set to i -y to which these e! vald have access, and the public benefit of a great expansion of the number of readers to whom the accumulated books would beavailabie. Other departments and bureaus than those which now have circulating Libr ries have applied in some instances and intend to apply in others for like privileges. The es- tablishment of a gener! departmental library, open alse to the public, wil! save the gove ment the expensiv> duplication of works in numerous small collections, and will also econ- omize in the room space devoted to depart- mental library purposes. Appareutly the gov- ernment and the clerks would profit by the Project as well as the people of Washington. ee By all means have a local railroad commission appointed to report to the next Congress as proposed by Senator Faulkner! The House in Passing the Atkinson bill provided for a com- mission, but struck out from the proposed amendment all reference to other roads than the Pennsylvania. The Senate then repudi- ated the commission feature, because it re- ferred only to the Pennsylvania. The House conferees, though the House had itself limited the commission to the Pennsylvania by vote, asented to the argument of the Senate conferees that the com- inission should cover all the roads. Then the conference committee, instead of shaping the commission provision in the form which they thought most advisable, struck it out alto- gether. Having deliberately wasted the oppor- tunity of establishing this commission in con- nection with direct grants to a railroad, as a relevant and proper amendment to a measure which was sure to pass, it seems doubtful whether Congress will at thia late stage of the session, when important national matters arc crowding one another in the demand for atten- tion, give the time required to paas this propo- sition as an independent measure, though good faith in pursuance of declarations made upon ‘the floor of the House and Senate doubtless re- quires that the effort should be made. The people of Washington will be both pleased and surprised if this bill becomes a law. — ee The traditions of the United States navy are Reroic. The action of Commander Reiter was not in the line of these traditions. He was not @ lingal descendant in spirit of Paul Jones, ‘Truxton, Decatur, Porter, Ingraham, Farragut, Dupont, Jenkins and other great captains of the sea who have struck first and reflected on the peril of the situation after the danger had been transmuted into glory. The stinging re- Duke contained in the letter of Secretary Tracy recalls the navy. and the nation as well, to the earlier and until now the accepted standard of American naval duty and common American patriotism. When the naval efficer ix in doubt it is wise for him to give the benefit of the doubt to his own country and the invoked claims upon her of foreign citi- fens under her protection, or supposed pro- teetion. Let him act first and parley after- ward. This is the latent tenor, the undereur- Tent of the Secretary's criticixm, and it is hoped | that such censures will never be deserved | again in all the annals of the republic's service. soe ‘The people of Virginia having been apprised | by the overseer of St. Sepulchre Church, London, thata monument or memorial of some Kind is to | be creeted over the remains of Capt. John Smith | lying in that church, and aid having been asked, the Richmond State suggests that every person | im Virginia named Smith chip in 50 cents each | to help the good work on. Why not extend the invitation to all the Smiths und with the re- | sultant funds ereet to Jokn the most expensive Mounment of modern times, and still leave a comfortable belance to divide up among con- wwactors, dc. Representative Turner deserves trouble that is likely tocome upon him from the exposare of his desire to break into the | all the Senate. He ought to know that a seat in that body usually costs a good deal more than the paltry sum of five thousand dollars. In many carer it is understood to be worth more. too. ‘The farmers’ alliance must therefore raise ite Fates if it hopes to compete with corporations. re Moved by the disturbantes in Ireland, at Pine Ridge and in the political arena of Con- ‘Becticut, Nebraska, Okiahoma and Kansas, the ‘Chilians are organizing a ruction in order to be | abreast of the times. - +e ‘The farmers’ alliance is getting into polities ever head and ears and begins in some places to show almost as much skullduggery and statecraft as the old established parties. _ The late lamented Andrew Jackson was | ‘numeronsly and comprehensively remembered yesterday. So much demoeracy has not been im the air since the fourth of Noveinber last. +2 The message of Gov. Campbell of Obio is almost good enough to be adopted as s eode of | * ethics in Sunday +ebools. ———_—re—___.- Senator Hoar begins to think that a republi- ean bas not much sbow anywhere in this great | * and glorious republic of ours, —_——s New Hampshire once more resumes the even tenor of her political way. oe If Alaska becomes s penal colony will con viets’ suite be made of striped neal skins? ee ‘One of the gentlemen from Kansas has also @iscovered that a letter is sometimes loaded. = Secretary Blaine and Lord Salisbury will shake hands across the bloody seal skin.
