The Boston Public Library.
’ There is no liner illustration of what
I noble public spirit among private citi-
iiens may do for a (umnnunity than the
Public library of Boston. As years go
itis not so old yet. though when one
, remembers that New York city has still
no great free public library that of Bos-
ton seems comparatively venerable. Its
.real beginning came at tho commence-
meat 011848, though there were collec-
tions of books ready for it before it had
aniline. It is interesting to note that
the first gift of books—50 volumcss—to
thonow library was made by the city
. of Paris.
Historic names are plentiful in the
Itory of the Boston Public library.
Josiah Quincy fathered it and fostered
it; Edward Everett obtained from the
' United States government a rare gift of
l. 000 books, important historical docu‘
ments; Robert C. Winthrop gave 300
volumes; Hon. John P. Bigelcw, mayor
of Boston, gave. in 1850, $1,000 in
~ money. Finally, in 1852, across the seas
some the largest gift of all. Joshua
Bates had been a Bostonian, but became
.a London merchant and did well in
"foam He presented $50,000 to his art—-
. the town for the purpose of buying
books
. Then it‘was, and not. till then, that
the city authorities themselves tool; the
matter in band in a practical way and
appropriated money to erect a library
building on Boylstcn street. The corner-
stone-was laid Sept. 17, 1855, on the
two hundred and twenty-fifth anniver-
sary of the founding of the city of Bos-
ton itself. The glory and beauty of
the whole enterprise we expressed in
three words carved up i entrance
of the library, “Free to\ Robert
C. Winthrop and Edwardl
the great orators‘of New Eng '
the United States, made addresses
the dedication. A noteworthy sentence
in the address of Everett was this: “If
there is one lesson more than another
directly deducible from the life of
Franklin, it is the close connection of a
thoroughly practical and useful life and
career with books. libraries and read-
. ing."
The spirited Bostonians, men and we
men. who have given money and books
to that library are numbered almost by
the hundred. A dozen branches and de-
livery stations are now scattered through
the annexed districts of B ton. The
library itself contains almost hundred
~ thousand volumes. with an annual in-
" some of $76,000. The new Copley
" Square building was occupied last
March. The story is a 'lesson for rich
people.
It is; astonishing what quantities of
good advice people who are not farmers
are giving to farmers. Everybody ox-
cspt just the farmer himself appears to'
know why the agriculturist is not boon»

0!: Business Principles.
The advocates of rrfonn in American
city government declare that such gov-
ernment should be run I n the same sys-
tems and principles as (ham under
which successful private business eur-
poraiions are operated. Municipal ad-
ministration is a l)“§lllf'.~.‘i in he run like
a private business, wIth experience and
wise economy. This involves, first, as
in all large enterprises, the chewing of
a competent board of managers. (,‘nll

thing you please, but let it be under-

applied to municipal affairs, as follows;
Assume that file city of New York is
governed by a board of if» aldcnncn,
and that the total vote of the munici-
pality is 300,000. Fifteen into 301),000
is contained 20,000 times, so 20,000
voters would elect one alderman. Tick-
ets should be voted with the name of
a party or organization at the top, and
these captions of tickets should first be
countcd'wheu the polls are closed.
Assume that 160,000 \‘nft‘rl hare. been
cast. for a ticket beaded "Demmratic,"
l20,000 for tilt) named “Republican,"
and 20,000 for one inscribed “Labor."
As 20,000 votes elect one alderman, the
Denim-rats have chosen eight, the Re-
publicaus six and the Labor party one
of the board. Then comes the matter of
determining what individuals have been
elected, and here. is where the propor-
tional representation people claim that
a maivc.lhus 19TH?!“ will i ( me in. Bath
inter has for votes, 1 for eath alder-
man to be elected, and be c an cast them
all for one candidate or divide them as
he chooses. The judges of election hav-
ing determined that eight. Democrats
have been elected will proceed to count
the Democratic ballots and will declare
that the eight persons who have received
the highest votes are chosen. Fifty or a
hundred or even a thousand Democrats
may have been voted for. but the eight
who actually stand best with the voters
: ophoseu. If nominations should be
made before the election, they would
have no force. since any voter could re‘
pudiate nominatimis and yet vote the
ticket of his party. Recognizing the
new conditions. a Democratic conven.
tieu would probably be content to rec-
ommend a comridernble list of candi-
. dates from which the Democratic voters
could make a choice at the polls, or rival
factions inside of the party could each
put up a ticket which each faction could
support atTtbe polls without being class-
ed as “bolters” or. accused of playing
into the hands of the enemy. .
Under such conditions it is claimed
that the boss. the healer and the booty I

from the sight of men.
State Guarantee For Land Titles.
. In the colony of South Australia a
number of years ago what was called
the Torrens land not became law. In
brief, its object was to make rdal estate
transfer easy. The government appoint-
cd commissioners to examine into the
title of every separate tract of land
owned in the colony, and. if it was de-
fective see that it was made right.
Thereafter when anybody wished tobuy
a certain piece of real estate he had
only to go 'to the office. of registration
and have the land transferred from the
previous owner to himself on payment
of the stipulated price.
The advantages of the method are ap-
parent at aglanco. No one will be oblig-
.ed’undcr it to take care of a long suc-
cession? of deeds and property titles.
The state does so much of that as is
n my and guarantees to a purchaser
h 5 title to the property. The exchange
is effected Weily as a bill of sale is
ordinarily ado out and with« no more
expense. The government charges only
so much as will pay for the transfer. So
far as legal processes are concerned it is
as easy to sell a ranch as a sheep, pro-
vided you can get a purchaser.
The Torrens land title system spread
through one Australian colony after an»
’other. Thecityof newsman

The Matter With the Railroads.
Many persons, wise ones. too, have
endeavored to account for the depression
in railroad properties and their failure
to pay dividends, even though their
freight rates are in some cases almost
prohibitive so far as the agricultural
shipper is concerned. What the railroad
companies themselves think of it is per-
haps summed in a paper in The Forum
by Resident. O. D. Ashley of the Wa-
bash road. First of all, President Ash-
ley declares we have too many parallel
competing lines. He cites us to the fact
that there are new air railway lines be-
tween Chicago and St. Louis and seven
between Chicago and Kansas City when
two or three could easily handle all the
treble. Be declares that only two lines
are needed between the Atlantic and
Faciflc coasts, whereas there are now
six, counting the Canada Pacific. It
scarcely seems possible, however. that
with all the grain and fish and lumber
and fruit coming from the Pacific slope
to the east two lines would be sufficient.
As other evils that have crippled the
roads Mr. Ashley cites the “arbitrary
and oppressive legislation" in some of
the western states and that terrible in-
terstate commerce law which will not
let the railways pool their earnings, or,
as he says, adopt a “simple and harmless
method" of meeting the difficulties
But Mr. Ashley has already given the
best of reasons why the public will do-
sire to let the interstate law stand cr-
actly as it is. He confesses there are not
freight and passengers enough tamako
all the roads pay under the. natural
course of trafllc. His remedy would be
to have the companies combine and
force up the rates of freight and passen-
gers so that roads which have no reason
for being and should not have been built
for the next 20 or 80 yea onld be
made to return divide Thus he
would take it out of the public. Mr.
Ashley telhi too much.
