This, however, Is the only particular in which the advocates pf the public library have suffered a serious and probably permanent check. The ques- ‘Yon of the locality of the library has never feen viewed as a vital one, and, assuming that it is not to be placed in the new post- pffice, It merely remains for Washington to test the sentiment of Congress in respect fo some other site or sités. The board of trade report suggested, in the event of failure to secure rooms in the post-oflice building, the acecmmodation of the books in the new building of the library bf Congress, where there will be abundant grace for fifty years, ard where a fine read- ing room will be available from tha start. Long before the rational library will have fo increased as to demand the space occu- pied by these books the collection may be moved to suitable quarters in the new Municipal building which must soon be grected. The suggestion cf the Congres- pional Library building as the temporary Bome of the public library wes not spe- Bifically presented to and strongly urged vpon the Kouse in the recent debate. If there is time the matter might again be brought to the attention of the House. But fm any event, promptly upon the convening of the next Congress—in March, If, as now seems likely, there is an extra session—ef- forts should be made to secure an expres- pion of opirion on this subject from the new House, and In the meanwhile addi- tional frierds for the measure can be made im the Senate, a body of which the person- pel is not soor to change so completely. It will be very dificuit, indeed, to secure the grection of an independent library building and every energy should therefore be first firectod toward obtaining a temperary lo- tation in the Congressional Library build- ing, and permanent accommodation in the new municipal building, which must soon be provided. When a local habitation, a corporate barre, and some provision, however small, for municipal maintenance have been se- evred, private contributions of money and | books will follow and be effective in de- veloping the public library. But the ex- perience of Washington in its labors for a free library for many years, and especially the failure of the movement for such an institution on the private contribution basis. after a subscription of some $7,000 had been obtained, suggest that, in the absence of a wealthy and liberal benefac- tor to furnish a habitation and endow- Ment for the library out of his own means, it will not be wise to rely wholly upon private contributions for the library's ereation, housing, maintenance and de- velopment. Municipal maintenance 1s the goal toward whtch all such ventures move, and this method of support now prevails in those places where the public library Idea is the strongest. Such a library Is viewed as an intégral part of a com- munity’s educational system, to be treated and supported as a supplement of the pub- He school. In the first stages of its development, as- suming that n@ Astor or Carnegie will appear to give it full-fledged life by a strcke of his pen at the bottom of a citeck, Washington's public library will need all} the support that it can derive from every possible souree—from the nation and the local texpayers, constituting the munici- pality, and from the beneficence of every wisely hberal citizen. The Hose report upon the library bill says: “Assurances have been created been given that when this library has there will be considerable tontributions to it In books and money from citizens.” Th reference here is to statements made by several citizens to the doard of trade library committee of a will- Ingness to contribute considerable sums to- war the development of this library when greated. ‘These sums, while insuffictent to purchase 8 library site, and books, and pay the ex- penses of administration, will be of great Service in the establishment of branch Feading-rooms in different parts of the city, In increasing the size of the central library, and, in general, in enlarging the scope of the library's usefulness. And the same may be said of other private contributions, pleiged through the activity of members of the library association or any other public- spirited citizens. All will be needed in the sreation of the library which Washington demands. ——-- wee -—__ The prevalence of the grip in New York Just now fs largely attributed to the filthy treets of that city. If this diagnosis be correct, we may look for an outbreak of the disease here shortly, for the streets of Washington have rarely been in worse condition than for a few days past. Curtl- ously enough, during or just after a snow- fall, when their services are needed most, those charged with keeping the streets tlean seem to be paralyzed, and stop work altogether. Why this should be thus nobody putside of official circles can conjecture, but surely there ought to be a power some- where to bring about a change in this re- spect, and that power ought to be sharply exercised. —_ + + = __ Congressman Jones of Virginia is the Jatest to put his foot squarely down on an pratorical banana peel. +e. —— John J. Ingalls is taking advantage of the absence of Mrs. Lease to reappear in Kansas politics. ee ‘Hundreds of legislative propositions now Before Congress will fail of realization be- pause there is so much difference of opinion Boncerning their merits as to render a favorable majority impossible. There are pther propositions as to the propriety of which there can be but one conclusion, and that of the alfirmative sort, yet it does geem as though Congress preferred.to dis- burse Its costly time in useless debate on bills of the former class rather than take up and transmute into law bills which may fairly be included in the latter category. ©f the wholly desirable measures favor- agbiy reported to the House there is one as to which sane sentiment could hardly de otherwise than unanimous, and that is the bill which seeks to Improve the char- moter of the architecture of our public buildings. Were the bill one over which hhuhg the oloud of a probably long and @erid debate there might be some excuse Sor inaction, but in view of the fact that the measure ts entirely unobjectionable, @4vocates economy and makes certain a feform well worthy the name, the average @mlooker finds it difficult to think out an @xouse for delay. This city is now under- going a painful experience in connection With the slow uprearing of a structure | amounts, and yet no step has been taken work on the structure was commenced, there is much to be done on the stone and brick work before the second-story skeletoa can fairly be regarded as complete. The question of how many more years must elapse before the pest-office will be estab- lished is material vpon which seers and soothsayers and prophets of the minor and major varieties may exercise their more or less remarkable powers. But whil2 The Star has displayed a deep interest in the local feature of the weak system whica Secretary Carlisle is’ willing to see legis- lated out of existence, it is irterested in the proposed reform for reasons otber than these that may be regarded as merely Washingtonian; the methods that new pre- vail in the planning ard construction of federal buildings are entirely discreditable to the government and are the cause of un- necessary mortification to the very large proportion of the American people who be- leve that the present system insults the national artistic taste and gives to the stranger unfair and misleading impressions of the civilization in which we so justly take pride. —__+ ++ ____ Congress will be derelict if the work at the Washington naval gun foundry shall be al- lowed to lapse because of the theory that the government has manufactured enough guns to equip the war vessels now built or authorized. It would’ be profitable for the government to go on making guns long after all actual present neéds of the navy have been supplied, if only to keep In its service the men whose brains and skill have made possible the great success that has come to this establishment. The exist- ing plant comprises more than the mere machinery that has been assembled here as such a great cost. Many of the men who Tun these machines, to be sure, belong to the navy, and are therefore always at the disposal of the government, provided they do not find more profitable employment elsewhere. But the great majority of the men who have wrought so well at the Washington yard, and have done so much to establish the fame of the United States as a successful manufacturer of great guns, are beyond the control of the Navy Department, and, as surely as the foundry should be shut down or its output reduced, they would go elsewhere, and probably be paid more thar at present, and so establish themselves that they would hardly be available in case of an emergency. But there is another and more important ques- tion to be considered. The government has, by act of Congress, declared that certain merchant ships now in commission as pas- senger vessels shall at all times be avatl- able as an accessory navy. Two of these, as Secretary Herbert points out in his an- nual report, are now receiving large sums of money from the United Siates on condi- tion that they hold themselves in readiness for such service. They gave up large sub- sidies from the British government in order that they might hoist the American flag. For months these ships, the Paris and the New York, have heen receiving these large to equip them or to provide the equipment that will be necessary before they can be used for naval cervice. This neglect is the sheerest folly. Not only should the navy proper be built up and completely provided with guns and other armament, but there should also be prepared a sufficient supply of materials to enable the government to put these merchant ships in commission within a few hours after they have reported for such service. It {s now known by the officers of this government that when there was apparently a possibility of a war be- tween this country and Chile, some years ago, over the Baltimore riot, Chile had not only its regular navy In readiness for serv- ice, but also every pound of equipment for use on board its auxiliary fleet, which ts composed of just such merchant vessels as the Paris and the New York, though, of course, not so large or powerful. Every gun, every bolt, every bit of metal or of wood, and every ounce of ammunition was ready to be placed on board at the shortest notice. It 1s estimated that the vessels could have been fully equipped for sea within twenty-four hours after tying up at the government’s wharf. There is a valu- able lesson to be learned from this record. In modern warfare, especially on the se rapid preparation {s more valuable than heavier guns. —___ + e+ —__ New Hampshire appears to be more than pleased with the manner in which Senator W. KE. Chandler has represented it in tho national legislature, for by a vote that leaves no margin for doubt the direct rep- resentatives of the people of that state have notified Mr. Chandler that he will be expected to do duty In the Senate for at least six years from March 4. Partisan throughout, but honestly sosMenator Chand- ler is feared and respected wherever he is known. The District of Columbia wel- comes him to continued residence within its borders, and 1s glad to know that his liberal interest in the national city will have continued opportunity to exercise it- self at the Capitol, where common sense and fair dealing in respect to Washington are much needed. ——_—___+ e+ —____ Official report from the city post-office building is to the effect that one hundred and nine horny-handed toilers are at work thereon today. A new and revised theory as to how long it would take one hundred and nine men to complete the structure— calculation subject to change without warning—puts the probable date some- where in the neighvorhood of April, 1900. The record of the two years, ten months and nineteen days that have gone by since operations were commenced on the build- ing makes this prophecy appear reasona- ble. eS It 1s safe to predict that when the antl- pension speech of Representative Jones of Virginia—withheld from today’s Record for revision—achieves official publication the hisses which greeted some of his remarks will not appear. — Alexander Island and Jackson City gamblers might smash Gov. O'Ferrall’s in- junction by proving that the territory they cecupy Is not in Virginia, but in the Di trict of Columbia. They will hardly try it, however. ——_+ + +] -___ Denver ladies were indignant because they could not serve on a jury.

The com- mittee on rules brought in an order to elege general debate and proceed under the five-minute rule until today, when the final vote should be taken, but the supporters of the bill showed unexpected weakness. They were unable to order the previous question, the demand therefor being refused, first by a rising vote of 92 to 101, and then on a yea and nay vote by 124 to 129, An anal- ysis of the vote shows that all of the 124 votes in favor of the motion were cast by democrats, while 82 republicans, 39 demo- crats and 8 populists voted against it Of the 39 democratic votes against the motion, it was pointed out that 24 were cast by democrats defeated for re-election. A num- ber of United States senatorial nominations were made. Senators Chandler, Harris, Hoar, Frye, Pettigrew, Perkins and McMillan were renominated. Ex-Secretary Hikins, Thomas H.

Ritchie of Akron, Ohio, making charges of conspiracy against Judge Ricks, who presides over the United States district court at Cleveland; the me- morial was referred without debate to the judiciary committee. President Cleveland submitted another package of Hawaiian correspondefice to Congress, showing the negotiations of the British government fer the lease of one of the islands for cable purposes, and also a difference of opinion between Minister Willis, and Admiral Walker as to the necessity of keeping the Fhiladelphia at Honolulu. Gov. Upham in his Message to the Wisconsin legislature expressed the belief that the blacklisting system used by corporations is conspiracy and should be punishable by law. In his message to the legislature Gov. Matthews of Indiana asks for more stringent laws in cre to strike troubles and prize fights. W. Taylor, the outgoing state treasurer of South Dakota, disappeared, leaving a big shortage. Gov. Lewelling of Kansas sent a message to the legislature advocating the nationalization of the liquor traffic. The Philadelphia republicans nominated Charles F. Warwick for mayor.
