What may be termed the Bayard idea of the American pecple and of Mr. Cleveland seems to have been accepted abroad as the true one. The press, both in Great Britain and on the continent, echo it when- ever thz subject comes up. The people are violent, ard this accounts for the deliver- ances of Congress about forelgn affairs. But Mr. Cleveland is a strong man, who knows how to govern them, and who may be relied on to restrain them whenever their fury threatens to become a menace to anybody. This is the service which the American ambassador to the court of St. James has rendered }is countrymen while holdine their commission and in their pay. The man to remove this injurious im- pression is Mr. Clevelard. As President, he krows th2 limitations of his office, and has had large experience of the patience and ation of the people whose servant Had they been 2 violent people they have manifested such spirit when r wishes were baiked in the matters wali and Arme In both of those But in doing so he acted—in at any rate—within h the people themselves had allowed him; and Lence they are bear- ing themselves with becoming respect to- ward him.

Jobs and Lobbies. In his demagogical harangve vpon the free library bill Mr. Powers referred to “the tremendous lobby interest” back of the measure, and hinted at a job in con- mection therewith. The falsity of this ridiculous insinuation will be apparent on @ moment's reflection to every Congress- man, as it fs already to every lobbyist. The trouble with this proposition to pro- vide a public circulating library for the &chool children, workingmen an‘l depart- ment clerks of the capital ia that its beue- fits are so exclusively in the public interest that it has lacked the personal, determined and persistent backing of numerous indi- vidual Congressmen which is aroused in bebalf of legislation by which private in- terests are subserved. What is every- body’s business Is nobody's business. This measure appeals only to the broad-minded, Public-spirited and unselfish. It carries no appropriation whatsoever. It merely Places the library which it creates on the Ust of municipal expenses to be hereafter @rpropriated for at the Pleasure of Con- gress itself. When the appropriation stage shall be reached the Commissioners, who are now entrusted with the expenditure of nearly a million dollars annually on that form of popular education which is pro- vided by the public schools, will be further empow>red to spend a few thousands an- nurlly in addition upon that form of sup- Plemental education which the well- equipped municipal library furnishes. ‘There is not and never will be any “pork” to be distributed in connection with this meritorious public measure, and for that reason it was not to be expected that it ould pass like @ river and harbor bill at the first trial in forty minutes with only a handful of disappointed legislators dissent- ing. Mr. Powers’ indignant deflamce of “the whip and spur of the tremendous lobby” in connection with his narrow-minded atti- tude toward this educational proposition might sugsest that he is a guileless old gentleman from Wayback, who is ex- cusably ignorant of the appearance, man- ners and methods of the lobbyist, and would not recognize one at a sudden meet- ing, though he were characteristically equipped with. “whip and spur.” But this conclusion would be a mistake. Mr. Pow- ers is chairman of the committee on Pa- cific railroads, before which Mr. Hunting- ton is pushing his various propositions of getting rid of a hundred million or so of indebtedness without paying it; and what the chairman of that committee does not ki ow, by virtue of his position, about the lobby is not to be learned. It is much to be hoped that a suggestion of intimacy be- tween Mr. Powers and Mr. Huntington's persuasive lobby would prove to be as baseless as that which imagines a lobby back of a job concealed in the public li- brary project. lt is aiso much to be hoped that Mr. Powers, who has been so vigilant in look- ing sfter ihe minute fraction of a mill con- tributed by each of his constituents toward upbuilding the naticn’s city, will be equally vigilant to protect the financial interests of these ccnstituents and the United States against the public loss involved in donating to the Pacific railroads the principal of their indebtedness on condition that they bay under a funding scheme less than the legal rate of interest upon this indebtedness tor a fixed term of years. Since he is un- willing to expend the Vermont contribution of a fraction of a miil upon school children and workingmen and the development of the national capital he wili not, of course, keiray iis constituents by turning over a hundred or thousand times as much of the Vermont contribution to lobbying corpera- tions. —____+ 0 = —____ When Washington does get a free library a corner should be set off for the exclusive use of incoming members of Congress ani furnished with an abundance of simple, in- structive literature on the relations of the Disirict of Columbia and the national gov- ernment. —___ + e« —___ The other eligibles to the presidency may not have the happiness in political retire- ment whien Mr. Harrison enjoys; but al- most every one of them can find solace by becoming wedded to his profession. —————_ ++ Hanna appears to maintain a serene confidence in his ability to keep any of the numerous McKinley indorsements from go- ing to protest at St. Louis. << mn that Mr. Recd might be President sounds somewhat like The suggesti made V SHOOTING STARS.

He gets vioient sometimes on very short provocation, and when he slammed the book down on the floor, his wife knew that it wasn’t anything very serious. But -for the sake of seeming interested, she in- t is the matter, Horatio “I wish,” he exclaimed, angrily, “thet this author would quit calling me ‘gentle reader.’ ” “It doesn’t make any difference, does it?” “Yes, it dees make a difference. It's an untruthful assumption. I don’t like the way he writes, and I ain’t gentle whea I read his books. If I didn’t get started in before I knew It, so that I want to see how his miserable story comes out, I wouldn't tolerate h's bad grammar and worse sense for a minute. And when I'm doing my best to be patient and bear with him, to have him come along an’ pat me on the back and call me ‘gentle reader’ gets me riled, and I can’t help skowing it!” Castles. ‘There's a building boom in Nowhere land— It's the ore that comes each year, When the spring is new And the skies grow blue And tke south wind whispers cheer.

Messwge of Mayor Warwick of Phifadelphia. ‘The establishment of a free Hbrary is a matter that appeals to every intelligent citi- zen. Its influence spreads out in almost every direction, reaches almost every home, and in itself provides a system of liberal education. Appropriations made for its support will bring an abundant return. There is no rea. son why our e!ty shouid not be in the very front rank in this most important matter. Nothing speaks more positively in proof of the culture, intetligence and liberality of a pecple, and nothing adds greater repu- tation to the name cf a city than the estab- lishment and generous Support of an ex- tensive library, free and oper: to the public. It is a means of education within the easy reach of all and induces io law and order and the stability of popular institutions, Education is the safety of the republic; it 1s the lamp to her fees. : ‘The purpose of a free Ibrary is to carry out and distribute the information that en- lightens and teaches all and, at the same time, to afford means to many who other- wise would have no cpportunity for self- instruction. The city cannot too liberally support such an Institution, and no one can measure the extent and usefulness of its Influence.
