In the course of a few months the splen- did home provided for the Washington pub- lic brary by Mr. Carnegie will have been completed and the institution will be in- stalled within its walls, ready, as far as housing is concerned, to fulfill its appointed function as part of the educational system of the District and purveyor of literature to the people who are shut out from the United States ac facilities of the Congressional Library. Meanwhile Congress should take thought for the adequate equipping of the library in its most important feature, the supply of books, without which the most beaut!- ful or the best-appointed building in the world would be worthless. The Commis- Siomers have just approved a request by the beard of trustees of the llbrary for an inerease in the annual appropriation for the purchase of books from $1.00), as writ- ten in the District bill as it passed the House, to $5,000, as required by the present needs of the institution. This plea should be granted without hest- tation. In lis present stage of existence the brary needs a larger sum for this pur- pose than it probably will need in later years. Indeed. the yearly allowance for books might be placed at $10,000 without straining any of the proprieties. It is to be expected that as soon as the library ts estabiished in the Carnegie building the public demand upon {t for books will greatly increase. It would be harmful to the prestige of the institution if this de- mand were to be largely disappointed in the early stages. Much of the efficiency of such an establishment arises from the con- fidence which the readers have in its power to supply their needs. If after a few appli- cations people begin to find that the vol- umes they covet are not to be had their interest In the institution wanes and the spark what might with proper care de- velop into a genuine literary flame Is ex- inguished. In bullding up a library collection great care is necessary in the first stages, to ifi- sure economy and the highest possible de- gree of literary scope. It Is desirable, therefore, that the increased book-purchase be granted this year, so that the an be spent to best advantage in @ move Into the larger With one full year in which to quarters. buy the necessary standard works of refer- ence and circulation the trustees can create @ much better collection than though they found themselves rushed at the time of re- meva! both with the details of book accu- mulation and the transfer to new quarters. Such enterprises call for deifberation and ample means, and Congress cannot afford to cut too close In this case. ——— ‘The republican party has a number of electrifying orators, but none of them is suspected of being in training for a “cross of gold” stroke at the Philadelphia con- vention. ——___ + +e —____ Cecil Rhodes has discovered that it is quite useless to try to scare Oom Paul by glaring at him and talking brusquely. ——_—_ ++ + —____ Shrewd Russian Diplomacy. Russia has achieved two characteristic victories within a few days, and both tending to the advancement of her stead- fast policy of expansion. In Turkey there @re several tempting routes for railroads which, when constructed, would greatly enlarge the transportation facilities of the government at St. Petersburg in case of war. Some time ago Russia applied to the porte for “right of way" over these routes. ‘There were immediate signs of friction. The porte demurred. Turkey might want to bufid the roads herself some day. The “manana” doctrine did not appeal strongly to Russia, whose policy seems to be “al- ways do today as much of today’s task as 1s possible." So the Muscovite pressure was increased a little, just enough to per- suade Turkey that her old-time “friend and adviser” was at hand with suggestions and the means to carry them into effect. So the porte has at last yielded, still reserving the vague right to build over such of the routes as Turkey may later desire to oc- cupy, and thus the Russian program of railroad construction is relieved of an ob- stacle. Meanwhile the war cloud in the far east has blown aside. Corea has been ap- proached with a compromise and has yield- e@ to Russia the right to acquire land in the foreign settlement at Masampho. The original demand was for a concession of land. Corea was disposed to resent the requisition and Japan was immediately aroused In the face of a possible call upon her for a contribution to the shindy. But evidently it does not please Russia to pre- cipitate trouble just now. She prefers to go around a difficulty instead of climbing painfully over it. Probably the acquisition f a bit of land at Masampho by bargain ves her present purpése quite as well as the donation of land by Corea under pres- sure. The land is secured, at all events, and it remains for Russia to decide what she is to do with it. She will probably utilize it Sa resting place for a small garrison. er the garrison may grow. rein are two instances of the shrewd manner in which Russia is extending her power and influence throughout Asia and eastern Europe. Her railroads and garri- sons are keeping pace with each other. Whenever there is danger of a crisis the adroit managers at St. Petersburg change their tune and avoid a conflict. But in the end they carry their point. It was so In and has just proved so in Corea. It Was recently so in Persia and now again in Turkey. The logical result of these steady successes, coupled with unquestionable ad- ‘sto both the political and the eco- © policies of Russia, is the enormous nsion of the Muscovite power ahd the corresponding consternation of the other nations of Europe. ——_+++___ Mr. Depew on Storms. Mr. Depew speaks always with ease and interest, and generally very happily, but his argument yesterday in favor of the Porto Rican tariff was far from strong and one of his illustrations was singular inaccurate. Taking the ground that the op- position to the tariff was but a little flurry observable here and there, he said: ‘The history of remedial legislation pre- sents no example of baseless excitement like that which prevails over this measure in certain parts of the United States. The localization of the storm is unprecedented. It has great volume and force in one state, with little evidence of it in the adjoining commonwealth. A northwestern state may ve the fever while the middie states and New England are normal. In every in- stance in the contests of parties where a principle was at issue the sentiment of the party in one state has been equally pro- nounced in every state. This phenomenal localization of interest compels the conclu- sion that a mere matter of providing means for carrying on government and relieving distress has been exaggerated into an acute struggle over a fundamental principle of right, or morals, or both. Let us start with New England. Is there any evidence of the storm there? Inquire of Mr. Littlefield of Maine, Mr. Proctor of Vermont, Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts, and all the leading daily newspapers of Boston. Representing, as they believe, thelr con- stituents, they are all against the tariff. Coming on to New York, are not the board of trade of New York city, and, with but two exceptions, all the newspapers of prominence there, safely to be consulted as to local public sentiment on this subject? are against the tariff. May the leading newspapers of Illinols, Indiana, Ohio, Iowa and Minnesota be sup- posed to understand and reflect public opin- ion in that quarter? They are all against the tariff. Mr. Simon of far away Oregon is against the tariff, and gives some very excellent reasons for his attitude. The south, with the exception of Louis- iana, where the cane sugar growers are in control, is solidly against the tariff. (= turbance over so wide an be properly characterized as only a local storm? “Hi, there!” hailed a man from a mountain peak in the days of the rising flood when the ark came floating b: There was no response. Wher individual is reported to have s: go on with your old boat! I don't belle it's going to be much of a freshet anyhow.” Republican members of the House repre- senting close districts may be misled by Mr. Depew's assurances, but they may change their minds about the size of the “freshet” before this year's campaigns are over. If the storm against the Porto Rican tariff is not general, we have not had one in this country. A Busy Season Ahead. Every present sign points to a busy sea- son in Washington. The spring opens upon a prosperous city, absolved from the tur- mot!l of politics, assured of good business,| and with several large projects in hand to give employment to many hundreds or per- haps thousands of workmen, manufactur- ers and laborers. Although the govern- ment’s construction program {s by no means as long as the necessities demand, this year’s schedule of building for public pur- poses insures considerable activity. The printing office and the Department of Jus- tice, both of which are to be begun soon, will of themselves make a lively season. Then there is the public library, soon to be started, which will swell the total of wage-affording employments. Private en- terprise will put forth many notable evi- dences. The new Willard’s, the new Union Storage and Trust office and warehouse and the large buildings at the corners of 7th and D and New York avenue and 14th streets will form striking additions both to the city’s beauty and facilities for transact- ing business and to the season's work. There are also in hand plans for many pri- vate dwellings of large size and a number of apariment houses. Indeed, the present outlook is that the year will materially contribute to the pros- perity of the capital. But tt is as an evi- dence rather than as a cause that this pro- gram of construction is gratifying. It shows that the city is at present enjoying a steady flow of business, that capital ts confident and abundant and that men of en- terprise are anxious to Invest in the most permanent forms of municipal improve- ments. There Is no “boom,’’ however, and the city is to be congratulated upon the fact. There is always danger of a reaction following such unusual impulses In enter- prise. Prices are abnormal then and money rates are unstable. Men often make inv ments for which they are imperfectly pre- pared, depending upon anticipated profits to cover their expenditures, with the fre- quent result of collapse and a shaken mar- ket. It is far better that the community enjoy a period of quiet, steady activity, with all conditions normal and with good assurance of continuation, than to flash forward with a series of brilliant operations which run dangerously close to wild specu- lation. Washington fs not given to these feverish activities, and owes its present prosperity in large measure to the fact. Kansas City has taken steps to protect the delegates from the hotel keepers. This action might be a valuable point=r for the people who are running the Paris exposi- tion. —_ + + = —___ The Kentucky situation becomes mor? complex as time passes. The man with the Winchester is growing altogether too con- spicuous in politics. —_+ += —__ The fool killer's attention Is respectfully invited to the usual list of p2ople who have caused death or injury by the April fool joke. -—-——- + « = —__ Aguinaldo in Singapore. Aguinaldo has been heard of in Singa- pore, which he seems now to propose to make his base of operations against Ameri- can rule In the Philippines. It remains yet to be seen how active he will becom? and how far he will be permitted by the British authorities to exercise the prerogatives of a political fugitive in a neutral port. It is som2what gratifying to have the slippery fellow located at last. He has been vaguely reported as being at a number of places, but with slight evidence of his actual pr2s- ence anywhere. Formosa was supposed to be his most likely hiding place. But he has doubtless chosen Singapore because of its better cable and mati facilities. For- mosa is but poorly supplied with these es- sentials to a first-class filibustering estab- lishment. It is not difficult to imagine Aguinaldo's Program during the coming months. He still has his agents throughout Europe and Asta, and, doubtless, in this country as well. Me assuredly has his mouthpieces here, who, however, are gradually losing fluency. He fs, of course, primed to the fact that a great national campaign Is at hand. From one of his several capitals this Tagal Washington has already pro- claim2d William Jennings Bryan as the savior of the Philippines and given him a “character” as worthy the support of all enemies of expansion. So it is to be ex- pected that Singapore will shortly blossom forth as one of the branch headquarters of the Bryan party, with its appropriate out- put of literature. ‘ Thus Aguinaldo will have a busy season. What with hiring vessels to run the block- ade, buying arms for his bandits, subsidiz- ing the native press of Manila in his inter- ests, raising funds and contributing to the campaign of his great and good. friend in this country this lively chap will find his hands well filled. Of course, he will run some risks. H2 may offend the British government by his activity and place his liberty in jeopardy. Or he may become fired with enthusiasm and venture into the archipelago, where the American troops are waiting for imm. But intrigu2 at Sing- apore is preferable to the uncertainties of the camp and the discomforts of the peri patetic capital. If he knows when he is well off this Tagal agitator will rest tight on neutral soil and, as the billiardists say, “play clos> to the cushion.” —____+ «= -_____ Mr. Pettus has effectually reminded the public that Mr. Beveridge does not possess all the effervescence in the Senate. —_____+ + «. —___ Lieutenant Governor Woodruff is still of the opinion that what this country needs is a neat, dressy Vice President. ——_+ ¢ =—____ The Boers feel confident that their supply of generals as well as of ammunition Is in no danger of being exhausted. ‘The Boers continue to make an occasional capture, notwithstanding the fact that their subjugation is long overdue. ——__+ ++ _____ If there is any sympathy to spare from this continent Porto Rico can use a great deal of it. ———_ e+ ___ SHOOTING STARS. At a Disadvantage. “I suppose you have learned some val- uable lessons from the United States re- cently,” said the stranger. “Yes,” answered the Porto Rican, “the only trouble is that we can’t find any islands littler than ors to play the same trick on.” Spring. The shine of spring flits o'er the skies, ‘To cheer the country and the town. And still our hopeful spirits rise— And still the mercury goes down. A Wit. y Pride. “My dear,” said Mrs. Blykins, “I wish you would pay more attention to base ball.” You want me to be a base ball crank, “Yes, dear. That's it. I don't see why you should miss any think in your Iine; and you really aren't as versatile as you used to be.” A Situation Explained. “Did you lose any money at the races?” Not a cent,” answered the patient man. ‘That was lucky.” “Well, I suppose so. But I was entitled to some luck. You see I had my pocket picked just before the first race started.” Content. “Did you say they made fun of my speech?” said the statesman with the un- wavering self-esteem. “Yes. I'm sorry to annoy you, but—*" “Oh, it doesn’t annoy me. You know you can’t be sure anything !s a real work of art until somebody burlesques or satirizes it.” Expectancy. Some day, some day ‘twill all come right. The tangled skein will all unwind And we will grasp the colors bright And leave the somber threads behind. The sun Is slow and rest ts sweet, Yet fears draw round us when it sets And sorrow comes with winged feet And joy but heralds new regrets. Even while we taste, sweet draughts will turn To bitterness that hurts us sore; We learn to love and, loving, learn To feel the loved one’s loss the more. And yet, when “reason’s” light grows pale There shines through darkness still a ray Of faith untaught which cannot fail And leads us onward to some day. —-+2—____ A Democratic Boomerang. From the Cleveland Leader, When Lentz and Sulzer, the two demo- cratic demagogues, went into the investiga- tion of the use of United States troops in the Coeur d'Alene mining region of Idaho they fully expected to make political capi- tal for the democratic party. Instead of doing that, however, they have succeeded in proving that the démocratic-populist gov- ernor of Idaho was responsible for the call- ing out of the troops and for the continu- ance of martial law in the mining region. The democratic and “independent” guer- Trilla newspapers which have been working for months to make capital for Bryan out of the Coeur d'Alene mining troubles are welcome to all the satisfaction they can get out of this investigation. ews England's Military Strength. From the New York Journal of Commerce. Continental nations with their immense armies have looked with contempt upon the small military establishment of Great Brit n. But for home defense the sea ren- a large army superfluous, and for for- »perations the continent has sudden- ly discovered that England has the largest army in the world. Count Sternberg of Austria, who has just returned from South Africa, where he served under Gen. Cronje, said in an Interview in Paris: “There is no continental power which could have armed and sent so many troops such a great dis- tance from hom ———~+2—___ Power of the “Ad.” From the Philadelphia Record. A proverb from the French says that thing which pleases is already half sold. This constitutes no ordinary tribute to the power of the advertisement. The news- paper subscriber reads an advertisement, becomes pleased with the description and prices of certain goods, and thus a pur- chaser 1s nearly won. ———_e-—___ Davis and White. From the New York Tribune. Mr. Montagu White having failed to force President McKinley to do as the Boers want him to do, Mr. Webster Davis comes back from his pilgrimage to lend his en- deavors to that end. It is agreeable to know that in so doing he is saving his own face from burning and his soul from being haunted by the faces of the Boers. “Oom Paul's" face would be a fearsome thing to see in the dim watches of the night. ————“ > +e —___ It Reats With the People. From the Providence Journal, The fact that the announcements of of- fensive plays have been withdrawn in some cities after a protest by citizens Is a suffi- cient indication of the validity of the plea that the stage must be reformed by moral suasion rather than by law. Managers wili not long fly in the face of public sentiment. They cannot afford to do so. The way to stop is to refuse to go to see them. The whole trouble has been that the very persons who lament the degen- eracy of the drama crowd the theaters where indecency runs rampant. If they are awaking at Inst to some sense of their responsibility there is some hope for a bet- ter state of things. : ra ———— Wear Well Oxfords, — Aid Giving you the best Oxford you ever< bought for $2.45.
