Coun- tries with land-grabbing records and pro- persities have kept their hands off the is- lards, belteving that Mr. Cleveland's policy would be reversed as soon as a new admin- istration over here could get at the busi- ness. The same feeling has prevailed in Ha- wail. The people there have keen advised of the friendship of the, people of tHe United States for them, and have been as- The opening of the new Congressional Library building, with its treasures of learning all in place, will make its volumes accessible to the people of the United States and all the world. Two causes have in the past operated to prevent the realiza- tion of a broad conception of the national Nbrary and a full utilization of our vast collection of books. Thousands of the books were so stored as to be inaccessible for ordinary use, the lack of space re- quiring their unsystematic piling in heaps that destroyed identities and made perfect ela cation an impossibility. Thus even during the hours in which consultation was permitted the number of available volumes was limited. Then, again, the utter lack of facilities for illuminating the library precluded its use at night, the only time when many thousands might visit it for reference to its volumes. Therefore the people of the country have received but a tithe of the benefit possible to be derived from this great collection, and it Is grat- ifying now to know that in a few months at most the treasures so long kept beyond reach will be placed at the service of the nation. The building now approaching com- pletion will remedy both faults that have served in the past to constrict the useful- ness of (he library. The great expanse of Shelving, arranged with scientific care, will permit such a distribution of the books that they ¢ prehens' them fi hitherto the n be readily reached and com- <iy catalogued, besides preserving m the damage incidental to their ry treatment in bulk. Thus r will bring into use many s of volumes that have never be- ) within reach under any circum- In another way, too, will the li- brary be made more completely the avail- able property of the citizens of the United States.

To pres the reasons why the Eastern Branch flats should be reclaimed is but the re: an old tale. Th are ing reasons day add- records of sickness traceable to the directly to the swamps and mud barks that now bound one entire quadrant of the city’s cirer Therefore, each agitated the case of stronger, and the of their efforts to re at. appropriation should become rel- ely brighter. The East Washington tioa has marshalled a formidable force against the evil that threatens the health and life of the community which it represents. Its meeting last night devel- oped that a fund of valuable material has been gathered, and that the project has | many friends in quarters where help r needed. The Branch has been per- ited to ge work into such a state that the no longer belongs to the ordinary ation of river and harbor improve- whie e primarily intended to comme inasmuch as the first ments. refit idvration now is to prevent such a spread of malarial influences as to drag Washington back to its condition before the im it is pre ot e the ovement of the Potomac. Hence, or the matier to take the form dent_ measure making a lib- priation for the reclamation of hes. It sheull not, however, be i that the improvement of that portion of the stream lying north of the Navy Yard Bridge can never be regarded harbor improvement, on the ground on indepe as a stred that Mr. Cleveland’s successor, sup- ported by public sentiment here, would give sympathetic heed to their appeals for recognition. And that accounts for the pro- gress they have made, and for the unusual degree of presperity they are enjoying. They bave worked with all the greater en- ergy for the assurance that the day of their permanent deliverance from all peril and for the fruition of their hopes was ap- Proachirg. The day for the realization of their hopes, or for dashing them to the ground, is ncw close at hand. The question of an- rexaticn of the Hawalian Islands will be presented to the new administra- tion soon after it assumes power. If the project is supported it will, of course, prevail. If it is rejected the moral support of this country will be withdrawn from the islands, and the present government there, worthy as it is and beneficial in its oper- ations, will not be able to support itself against strorger powers that will begin at ence maneuvering for territory so valuable. Prompt annexation by Mr. Cleveland would correct the most conspicuous blunder of this administration's fore'gn policy, placirg Hawaii with Venezuela in the list of names which mark rotable and historic triumphs of the American republic. If, however, Mr. Cleveland can discover no change in conditions sufficient to enable nim with good grace to modify his origi- ral Hawaiian policy the glorious opportun- ity will fall to President McKinley, and doubtless he will be quick to take advan- tage of it. The islands need not be ad- mitted to statehocd in the Union until they have developed in population and resources inte a condition of admitted fitness, and this fact uullifizs the strongest arguments which have been urged against annexa- tion. +o The New Yerk authorities are drawing the line so closely with reference to what constitutes brutality in a sparring exhi- bition that there is consternation among the sports. There seems to be a special providence to prevent Corbett and Fitzsim- mons from hurting each other. ——————-( + > ____ Some medical students in Philadelphia have called attention to themselves by throwing eggs at the faculty.

There seems to have been much instruc- tion and som amusement in the meeting of the Political Study Club (made up of ledies) in New York yesterday. The mem- bers who participated in the debate did not trifle valuable time discussing the ballot and its present iniquities. They went to the foundation of society; the home. One lady thought that most mothers should not try to train their own children, as they were by their vanities unfitted for the task. As an evidence of this she adduced the fact that they wore feathers in their hats. Another declared that children domineered too far in the household, but this was re- {uted by the declaration of another debater, that her earliest recollection was her mother’s slipper, while still another en- deavored to weaken the force of the last erting that maiden aunts per with far more patience dexterity than the mothers. These are important. The infant is the away and things future voter and the nation’s destiny may depend on the method of his present train- ing. Nevertheless it does seem a little ILhearted in the ladies of the Political Study Club to confine themselves to these themes when Major McKinley is yearning for advice as to what he had better do with his cabinet and as to the best methods ef carrying into effect his policy. ———__ + e+ ‘Ther democ is a decided disposition among the atic mathematicians to make Mr. Bryan's defeat something lingering. —_—_—_ e +]__ Hawail. The New York Evening Post, which en- the ically supported Mr. Cleveland's eatraordinary Hawaiian policy, is in a critical mood toward the observations of ex-Secretary Foster respecting the present condition of the Hawai!an Islands and the necessity for prompt action by this coun- try in the matter of annexation. Mr. Fos- ter reports the islands as enjoying much prosperity, but doubts the ability of the present Hawaiian government much longer to sustain itself. He thinks that the mon- archy is dead, but points out that the ter- ritory is so desirable, Japan, or some other interested country, will acquire it if the United States again neglects the oppor- tunity. The Evening Post, in its superior way, makes merry over Mr. Foster's statement. It cannot see how the islands can be so prosperous and the Dole government so weak. It is very certain of detecting a con- tradicticn in that assertion, and it again oppcses annexation. It says: “After wait- ing four years to see some impudent mon- arch lft a ‘grabbing’ finger, we are not to be frightened into doing something fool- Resolves he wili not don his skates Without a life-preserver.

Don’t you think it would be a good idea for you to go ahead right row so as to get an early start, prophesying warm weather?” Knew His Manners. “What can we do for you?” asked the coal dealer. “I find,” replied the visitor, “that the sud- den cold weather has depleted my supply of fuel to an extent which makes it neces- sary for me to apply to this establish- ment—" “You mean that you want to order a ton of coal?” “No, sir; I do not mean anything of the kind. I realized the respectful considera- tion due to anything so exclusive and aris- tocratic as a ton of anthracite coal. I de- sire to invite, request, petition or entreat it; but don’t think for a minute that I so far forget myself as to order it.” Mach in Litde.
