Everything strictly first-class and on the most rea- sonable terms, MADE AN INVESTIGATION. Brewery Company Issues a Statement on Painters: Unions. The board of directors of the Consumers’ Brewery held a special meeting yesterday to consider the proper stand for them to take in the controversy, heretofore refer- red to in The Star, between the Painters’ Assembly and the Painters and Decorators’ Union, as they had been invited by both organizations to do. After adjournment Mr. E. L. Jordan, sec- retary of the brewery company, said to a Star reporter: “The board of directors of the Consum- ers’ Brewing Company, after hearing the testimony on the part of the president and the recording secretary of the Brotherhood of Painters and Decorators’ Association, No. 170, of the District of Columbia, and an examination of the books of the finan- cial secretary of the same, find that its duty appears to be quite clear. “The question to be determined is whether the Brotherhood of Painters and Decora- tors’ Association is a bona fide organiza- tion and entitled to the same recognition at our hands as the Painters’ Organization, No.1798,K.L.,of this city. The purpose of this board is to carry out its original intention, as stipulated in contracts with architects and builders, to : Employment to be given to union labor men only. The sec- retary of the Brotherhood of Painters and Decorators’ Association, No. 170, testifies that there are about six members in good standing in his organization, and that two of them are exempt from dues. The finan- cial secretary’s books, which were exam- ined by this board, show four members in good standing, and that the president, re- cording or financial secretary have never paid any dues. The stub of the check hook shows that the last per capita tax paid, in October, was four dollars and forty cents ($4.40), which would lead the general office, at Baltimore, to believe that the organiza- tion had forty-four members in good stand- ing, when the books show only four at that date. “On the other hand, the books of the Painters’ Assembly, No. 1708, K. of L. show that at the close of the last quarte they had a membership in good standing of 126, and that since September 30, 1896, twenty-four members have been reinstated by payment of back dues, bringing the total membership in good standing up to December 4 to 150. The hooks also show that they paid a per capita tax for the quarter ending September 30 on 125 mem- bers, and that the total membership on that date was 328. Sick benefits paid dur- ing the quarter ending September 70, $100.75, and the books further show that the sum of $3 is paid each month for sup- port of the labor iureau, and that they pay $150 on the death of each member and a sick benefit of $% per weck. The balance in bank to their credit September 30, 1896, $376.11. “Reviewing the foregoing facts, the board of directors are constrained to conclude that the Brotherhood of Painters and Decorators Association, No. 170, is not at this time a bona fide orzanization, encitled to the same recognition as is Painters’ Assembly, No. 1798, K. of L. The fairness of this conclusion must be apparent to a!l who peruse the foregoing statement, and the desire of the board to reach a just con- clusion will be fully recognized.” The election yesterday of delezates and other representatives from the Bricklayers Union of this city to the annual convention of the Bricklayers and Masons’ Interna- tional Union, which, as heretofore stated in The Star, begins in Worcester, Mass., next month, resulted in the choice of J. L. Glea- son, W. E. Bresnahan and John Welsh, delegates; M. P. Canty, W. H. Maghan and William Roach, alternates; James O'Brien, deputy of the B. M. I. U. ————— GOLD DEMOCRATS MEET. pn | Members of the Executive Committee Exchange Congratulations. The executiye committee of the national democratic party got together late yester- day afternoon at Indianapolis. The east- ern and southern members of the commit- tee did not arrive until noon. It is the first meeting of the committee since the elec- tion, and there were, naturally, a good many congratulations back and forth. Wm. D. Bynum, the chairman of the @ational committee, was heartily congratulated on all sides. The representatives of the party an- nounce that they are in favor of main- taining the organization. It seems prob- able that Bynum will be continued as <he head of the committe, and will be author- ized to push the work of the organization. Mr. Bynum said that the party should be strengthened in every state in the Union, and that special effort should be put forth with the view of becoming a great na- tional party in 1900. ——_—_-- 2+ ____ NOT PLEASING TO GERMANY, ‘The New Chinese Minister to Berlin Does Not Rank High Enongh.

Assistance Should Be Given the Li- brarian in This Work—A Commis- sion to Govern It in the Future. ‘To the Eilitor of The Evening Star: One of the important matters that will engage the attention of Congress during the present session is the removal and re- organization of the Library of Congress. The most complete and in every respect the finest building in the world has been provided for this library, and is now ready for occupancy. The library itself, while by no means the largest, is among the largest anywhere to be found, and if proper ap- preciation of its importance is felt by Con- gress it is destined at an early day to be the most complete collection of books in the werld. It is, therefore, of supreme importance that no avoidable mistake be made in the transfer of the present library and its rearrangement in the superb quar- ters hereafter to be its home. An oppor- tunity is now afforded for a minute and thorough examination of the contents of the library, a discovery of its deficiencies, and its disposal in the new building in a manner that shall meet the requirements of the l.test demands regarding library arrangement, and that shall be satisfactory for all time to come. It is no reflection whatever upon its distinguished head that in its present Inadequate, limited and cramped quarters it is probably not so thoroughly classified and arranged nor so minutely subdivided as could be desired. It is impossible while so restricted for space that its arrangement could be in any large degree satisfactory, which it should be when transferred to its new and magnifi- cent apartments. It would, therefore, be an almost unpardonable mistake if the de- fects in the present arrangement, and faults in the matter of classification, ete., should be transferred with the library and so p petuated. If, however, these are to be cor- rected, it must be done now: otherwise it is not probable that it will be done for a gen- eration. Of course, this will necessitate the taking of no little time to accomplish the transfer. It is stated that under certain circum- stances, as, for example, the calling of an extra session of Congress in April next, the removal may be made within the period of one month, and that this would have to be done in order that Congress might not be put to any inconvenience. In this event the individual volumes would be “marked” so that they could be placed in the new library in the same relative position that they hold in the present. This, however, weuld carry over, and carry on, the same classification and arrangement that now exist, &nd would be continuing the very faults that ought now to be remedied. To make the transfer during one month would require the removal of from 25,000 to 30,000 volumes per day, a work of stupendous magnitude, as one may see, if he stops to consider all that ought to be involved ir this transfer. It is, however, not believed that any such attempt will’ be made, or that either Congress or the librarian would insist upon or permit this over-haste. Con- gress, with the other libraries available for its use, can well afford to give six months, or even a year, to this work. The library may well be closed to the public for this length of time, if, when the work is ac- complished, it shall be found in all respects to have been done in accordance with the wisest and best methods. Assistance in Classificntion. It is not probable that in the matter of deciding upon the proper classification and arrangement of the library any single librarian would wish to be held responsible for conclusions reached and put practically into effect. It is not to be doubted, there- fore, that Mr. Spofford would accept with satisfaction competent assistance in this matter, and, therefore, the suggestion is offered that a commission be appointed consisting of four or six of our very best librarians and catalogvers, additional to the present librarian of Congress, of which commission he should be chairman. Such commission snould be authorized to deter- mine the classification and arrangement of the library in its new quarters, and in the examination of the books of the present library, decide upon the class to which each should be assigned. There wou!d, of course, be no disagreement as to how the larger portion of the library should be classitied and arranged, but in regard to not a few works the question might occasion discus- sion, and a diversity of opinion, to be, however, determined by the major vote. This commission would, in the course of its work, be able to discover the deficien- cies in the present library in its several departments—a result of no small value. This process will of necessity be compara- tively slow, but the result will fully justify all cxpenditure of money or of time that would be involved. This commission may also be authorized to formulate rules and vegulations for the future administration of the library. The time has come when a new designa- tion should be given ‘to this institution. When originally established it was intend- ed for the special or exclusive use of Con- gress, and it has since, for the most part, been administered with special reference to the convenience of that body. If in some mezsure it has been made to subserve the interest of the community or of the people at large, it has been under arrange- ments that were far from being satisfac- tory, though probably the best that could be made under existing circumstances. Hereafter, however, this library is not to be regarded as restricted to these limited relations; it is to assume relations not simply to Congress, nor to officers of the government, nor to the citizens of the Dis- trict, but to the whole nation. It is sup- ported from the public treasury, and every citizen, therefore, who contributes to the public funds must be regarded as having a pecuniary interest in the library. Every citizen should also feel a personal pride in it. He should at the same time under- stand that he fs entitled to its use no mat- ter in what section of the country he may reside. Sustaining these national rela- tions, supported by the contributions of the people at large, it should now take on a national character and assume a national name. Hereafter, therefore, it may with all propriety be rightly designated the Na- tional Library of the United States, and its head, the national librarian. This would adequately indicate its character, and show that it is no longer to be regarded as a mere appendage to Congress. A Commission Suggested. The present writer, while disagreeing with certain propositions made by Dr. Dewcy in his examination by the library committee, is-in fuli sympathy wita his re- marks regarding the comprehensive uses to which the library should ‘:ereafter be put, especially in its being made to sub- serve the convenience of the people at lazge of the United States. It is not prob- able that the suggestion as to traveling libraries could be carried into execution, nor can the institution assume the charac- ter of a cireulating library even for the citizens of the District. It can, however, if properiy equipped, be made vastly service- able to all students, investigators, writers, efe., however distant their home may be from the national capital. It ought to be made perfectly practicable for such a one residing in Maine or California, or Texas or Ohio, any student at our great colleges or universities, any one preparing a theme or a beok on any special subject, to secure without delay from the national Hbrarian the bibliography of the subject in hand, without being obliged to resort in person to the capital city. For exampte, if one ts preparing a book, or writing an article cr a lecture regarding Persia, the galt stream, Browning, X rays, or socialism, he should be able to obtain from the librarian a list of all works in the national library, of all articles in periodicals relaci:g to thes¢ special subjects, and other references that a competent librarian might be able to give rthat would be of assistance in his quotations, from booxs required in to procun his work, etc. ber of employes as shall be found necessa- ry to meet the large demand that would be sure to be made upon thelr services. There can, however, be no serious objec- tion raised to this increased expenditure If it be the purpose of Congress to make the Mbrary in fhe largest degree useful. Tt would seem that no more safisfactory ap- propriation could be made than that which should be demanded by this enlarged use of this great library. It ts maintained not for ornament, but for service, and what- ever can be done to make it subserve the needs and convenience of the entire people should be attempted. A Liberal Policy of Equipment. Every increase in its patronage, from however remote a section of the country, should be hailed with satisfaction by those in charge, as indicating a growing appre- ciation of the advantages afforded by the institution. A Hberal policy in providing ali necessary equipment will be found tn the end to be the wisest and the most eco- nom‘cal; a niggardly policy in this direction wou'd be almost fatal to the development of the utility of the library along the lines suggested. There should, therefore, be no hest:ation on the part of Congress in pro- viding adequately for all assistant lbra- rians, cataloguers, bibliographers and as- sistants, so that the library may at the earliest possible day be put into the best condition for pract use, and be ible to respond punctually to all the new require- ments to which it will be subject. Its re- moval to new quarters may well be signal- ized by the preparation of a new catalogue in accordance with the most approved mod- ern 5: Such a catalogue would al- most seem to be necessary in order to meet mditions in which the library Will find i:self placed It may not be improper in this connec- tion to offer a suggestion regarding the fu- ture administration of um It ts taken for granied there mu: pervising body , as it will sible for the hbrarian to discharge fully his du- tles as such and at the same time be bur- dened with the administrative duties of the institution; neither does it seem prac- ticable for the joint committee of the li- brary of the two houses of Congress, sul ject as this committ is to repeated chan; and absent m the city as s members frequently are for protracted pe Tlods, to satisfactorily exercise this offic it is, therefore, suggested that a board control—cail it, if you please, board of gents—be provided for, of which the chair- commit the library, hairman of the House committee, the etary of the Smithsonian Institution and the commi ioner of education be ex- otficio members; and that these four offi- cers, together with » librarian, be au- thorized to selec ¥, Seven additional persons from among the lead ing librarians and scholars of the country, who, together with the four officers above named, should constitute the first board of regents, va- cancer thereafter to be filled by the board itself. Of the board of regents the Mbra- rian should be the se tary, and to this board should be committed the ction of all the employes of the library, under such rules and regulations as the may be pleased to adopt. It would be most plorabie if it should be found that th tional Library had afforded the tin uge to the “spoils” idea. It is the ve place in which the application of “spoils” system should be, for a mome tolerated. Let this great library ministered on the very best possible plan, and the wisest methods, and let its functions be so enlarged that its influence shail be felt in every section of the land, and its advantages be brought within the reach of every citizen. x: 2. ae ee President Whitman on Brow: President Whitman of versity delivered a lecture on the “Life and Poetry of Robert Browning” before a large audience at the First Baptist Charch Monday night. “Great men.” “are the rich be hereafter ad- Columbian Uni- said Dr. Whitman est in p product of civilization. Once or twice in a generation, a century, or a millennium, they are born. Then there a chance to see what comes when ‘God lets loose a man into the world.’ Such a great spirit was Browning.” Continuing, Dr. Whitman dealt with him as man, as poet, as teacher, “We cannot extract the man's personal faith from in- discriminate reading of his poems. A man may love art and yet spend his life making shovels. Happily for us, salient points in 8 life are easily accessible. dealing at some length vith the man, Dr. Whitman passed on to considera- tion of the poet, dealing with his now as- stred position as a great writer, and his cenception of poetry as creative and inter- pretasive. He admitted Browning’s cbseuri- ty, but ascribed it to the breadth and scope of thought which made simple language difficult, and suggested that the construc- tive process necessary in reading his poetry Was a great benefit. His purpose was the study and interpretation of individual man; his method was essentially dramatic: bis technique Dr. Whitman dealt with in de- tail. The result of this purpose, this meth- od and this technique kas given us a body of poems unmatched since Shakesp. Dr. Whitman's lecture was replete with apt quotation and of great interest. This was the first of a series to be delivered on successive Monday nights. The remaining lectures will be by Drs. Montague, Gore, Huntington, Pollard, Frank Cushing and Farquhar. > Mission Mecting.

Oliver Brown, a colored man, who was convicted the 12th of last October of rape, was yesterday afternoon denied a new trial by Judge Cole, and was senienced to ten years in the Albany penitentiary at hard labor, the minimum sentence. The offense was committed the 16th of last July, the man’s victim being Effis Turner, a young colored woman. Brown is said to have served a term in the a itentiary, and at the trial failed to deny the charge. His counsel asked for a post- ponement of sentence, as he had hopes of securing new evidence. — Farragut Post. At the last meeting of Farragut Post, No, 10, G. A.
