The Congress, now deceased, at its first session created this library “as a sup- plement of the public educational system of said District.” placed it under the con- trol of the Commissioners, and directed that it “shall be maintained.” The Com- missioners’ estimates for such maintenance submitted at the opening of the second session, were embodied in the District il by the Senate. The House he first session differed from the Senate uly concerning the method by which this library should be maintained. By a ma- es not some day command an| of the capital city. Four years before the act of 1878 Con- gress had refunded much of this debt in 65 bonds guaranteed by the United States. It enacted in 1874 concerning these bends that “the faith of the United States is hereby pledged that the United States will, by proper proportional appropriations as contemplated in this act, and by caus- ing to be levied upon the property within said District such taxes as will do so pro- vide the revenues necessary to pay the in- terest on said bonds as the same may be- ceme due and payable, and create a sink- ing fund for the payment of the principal thereof at maturity." The first Commis- sioners appointed under the act of 1878, reporting to Congress in 1878, the very year of the creative legislation, said: “The act of June 11, 1878, commits the United States to the payment of 50 per centum of the expenses of the District government. Interest and sinking fund for the 3.65 bonds and the funded indebtedness of the District form a large part of the ex- penses.” And again: “The bonds form nearly two-thirds of the indebtedness for which the District revenues are made to provide. These are obligations of the United States.” And again: “The burden of the public debt weighs heavily. Pay- ment of interest alone absorbs about one- third of receipts from all sources, includ- ing the 50 per centum contributed by the United States. To this sum must be added a large amount for sinking fund to pay the principal. Thus mere than one-third of the revenue of the District, year after year, goes to the public debt as now fund- ed.” Is it not clear that only colossal ig- neraace and malice would venture to ac- cvse the District of insidiously enlarging the scope of the act of 1875, until, contrary to its intent. it now covers this debt? Mr. Dockery eulogized his own wonder- ful astuteness in anticipating that the law of last session which created the library as a supplement of the District's public educational system and directed explicitly that it should be maintained would be fol- lowed by an estimate for such mainte- nance. Encouraged to the point of rash- ness by the accurate fulfilment of this sage prophecy, Mr. Dockery ventures further to predict that after maintenance has been provided application will be made for a magnificent brary building to cost the government a milllon dollars or more. But the law which pointed unmistakably to the maintenance estimate that Mr. Dock- ery predicted, and thus made his reputa- tion as a prophet, just as clearly annihi- lates his sevond prediction concerning a future library building. The law fixes the permanent home of the library in the L trict’s proposed municipal building and dl- rects that room in that structure sufficient to accommodate not less than 100,000 vol- umes shall be reserved for its use. Evi- dently the oracular Mr. Dockery has lin- gered too long upon the tripod. There were other uncontradicted mis- statements in this debate which might be noted, including the statement that tl departmental circulating libraries are open to the general public, but they become in- ignificant in contrast with the masterly feations concerning the District's ac- complished robbery of ten millions of debt, and its propesed robbery of a million for a library building, to which attention has already been directed. ——- see In O1d Kentucky. The appointment of a senator by Gov. Bradley has been made in opposition to the advice of several of the most eminent iaw- yers in the Senate, and occasions therefore some question and surprise. The belief in republican circles is that it stands for the cpening maneuver in a renewal! of the old factional fight which the governor is wag- irg against ex-Congressman Hunter, and which has already cost the party dearly in the state. ‘The opinion is expressed that the appointee will not be seated. The Sen- ate in more than one case has decided against an appoiniee presenting himself with such credentials. Where the legisla- ture has had an opportunity to act, and has fa‘ted to act, as in this case, the power of appointment does not lie with the gov- ernor. Gov. Brasley concedes it to be the duty of the legislature to act by accompanying the announcement of the appotutment with a prociamation callirg the legislature to- gether in extra session for the purpose of electing a senator. The day of meeting is fixed for the Ith instant. The republicans have a majority on joint ballot, and there ought to be an election. A full senatorial term is at stake, with the.vote in the Sen- ate so close that the very greatest value attaches lo every seat in the body. ‘The pressing necessity for a fuil repub- lican poll, however, will not be at meridian for probably two mouths yet. The tariff Dill will have first to pass the House, and then undergo examination by the Senate committee on finance, before it will come up in the Senate for Gebate. A vote on the bill is not expected in the Senate before June. This will give the Kentucky legista- ture ample time in which to carefully can- 2s the whole loca! situation, and make a tion based upon broad and national fab her is promise of a spirited contest at Frankfort. The republican factionalism is not the only element of interest that will attach to it. The democracy, even at serious disadvantage, will endeavor to de- feat election, and Mr. Blackburn's friends consider the odds two to one that if election this time is defeated he wi!l win the next legistature and succeed himself as senator. But the whitest light will beat on the re- publican forces. Every maneuver will be subjected to the most rigid examination: and If with the power to elect, the repub- Yicans should fail to elect, and personai wrangling shall plainly appear to have been the cause, those to whom responstbil- ity shall attach will find themselves ap- parently with rather an embarrassing score to settle with the national administration. ——_+ e+ The District dog catcher and pound- master is trembling as violently as one of his captive curs, for hungry hordes of non- Jority of fourteen it voted that the entire expense should fall upon the District taxes. In Wednesday's vote upon this point the House reversed its previous opinion and by a majority of nine voted down Mr. Powers’ chronic amendment. Having pre- reed that the library should be ad maintained, it now in effect assented to the Senate contention concern- the method of maintenance, and what- view the House might take of Mr. Pitney's well-considered amendment con- cerning the miscellaneous books In the de- partmental libraries, the Senate, it would seem, should have prevailed in reference to the appropriation which {t proposed for the library already established by law. As the record now reads, the late Congress created the library, ordered that it should be maintained, agreed at the last moment that the cost shouid not be placed exclu- sively on the District, and postponed the maintenance, which the law pledges, until better times. The House voted down Mr. Powers’ amendmer& notwithstanding some aston- ishing. but uncontradicted misinformation circulated in debate as argument in its support. Mr. Powers himeeif, with his un- erring faculty for golrg wrong, accused the District of having. since the passage of the act of 187% and contrary to the intent of that act, landed one-half of its old debt of twenty millions upon the United States. Everybody knows that the debt contracted by the District in its desperate effort to perform, unaided, the task of capital- making, assumed tn the begipning by the ration and then tn bad faith abandoned, Was one of the first of the local burdens resident office seekers are loose in the city, and they are beginning to eye him and his office in a greedy and menacing manner. “What fs the constitution among friends?

William McKinley of Ohio was inaug- urated President of the United States; Gar- ret A. Hobart of New Jersey took the oath of office as Vice President. The Senate of the Fifty-fifth Congress met in extra ses- sion, with Vice President Hobart presid- ing. The following cabinet nominations of President McKinley were immediately con- firmed: Secretary of State, John Sherman of Ohio; Secretary of the Treasury, Lyman J. Gage of Illinois; Secretary of War, Rus- sell A. Alger of Michigan; Attorney Gen- eral, Joseph McKenna of California; Post- master General, James A. Gary of Mary- land; Secretary of the Navy, John D.
