Tho report that the Andrews com mittee's bill of expense would not bo incBcntf'd to the ntato for pnyment but would be canceled from private sources has been confirmed. The Information Is welcome and It Is a matter for regret that this happy rule was not also ap plied In several other cases. The New Librarian of Congress. It Is doubtful If the president could have chosen for the position of librar ian of congress n man better fitted for ,thc present duties of that position than Is Hon. John Itussell Young. Always a post of responsibility and honor, call ing for scholarship both widespread and profound, the llbrnrlanshlp at this particular time makes extraordlnniy demands, of a character which Mr. Young is exceptionally well tiualllled to fulfill. On the eve of the dedication of the new library building architecturally und structurally the finest homo of printed knowledge In the woild and Just before the oiganlzntlon of a staff of assistants upon whose ability and fidelity to duty will largely depend whether this gieatest collection of the preserved wisdom of the ages shall be of corresponding usefulness to the American people, the call was not sim ply for a scholar versed In Hbrnty lore, but also for an experienced and ptac tlcal man of affairs, a man with execu tive ability nnd broadened Ideas. To this call Mr Young responds with cre dentials calculated to satisfy the min utest requirements. To the depth of the student he adds the breadth and aplomb of the seasoned journalist, tho polish of tho diplomat and the tine courtesy of the natural gentleman. Xot he but the countiy is to be con gratulated. . Tho nomination of Mr. Young to this position, mm cover Is accepted by the Journalistic fraternity of Pennsylvania nnd of the country as another of the president's felicitous tributes to the craft. There aie editors who seek office, and to them the president has upon the whole been mote than ordinarily gra cious, but here was an editor, and one .of tho giants of tho guild, whom the ofllce Itself sought; and sought for the flattering reason that it recognized In the success which had crowned Mr. Young's work In journalism the best possible evidence of his pre-eminent fitness for this new trust. And thus, while the compliment Is rich with per sonal significance to Its Immediate sub ject, It really amounts, In tho larger sense, to an Indorsement of journalism fiom the highest souice on earth. Judge Goidon Intimates that at the proper time ho will have more to say concerning the manngement of the Kaatern penitentiary. Hut tho fact Is that unless he Is prepared to offer con vincing proof he has said too much al ready. The Plague In India. Contemplation of disease and death Is none too pleasant under the most favorable circumstances, but for a chapter of horrors which, though sick ening, Is oonseivatlvely written and evidently true, commend us to Julian Hawthorne's article In the July 'Cos mopolitan describing the ravages of the plague in India. Sir. Hawthorne passed thieo months In tho plague centers under a commission from that masazine to prepare for its columns tho story of the visitation. Ills first paper giving the results of this mis sion Is one of the most effective speci mens of repotting within our knowl edge. That India should be plague-stricken is not to be regarded strange after wo rerd Mr. Hawthorne's account of tho sanitary conditions of Hombay, which mltror tho conditions In the country generally. "We quote one paragraph: "A house was marked down for visi tation In tho mldBt of the Bazaar. You could not see anything of It from the street. It was screened by other houses, but It was large enough to contain COO people. It was built round nn Interior court, porhnps five and twenty feet square; the four walls en closing It went staggering up, story above story, so that wo seemed to ptand at the bottom of a well. But w'hat a. well! The place, even here be neath tho open sky, smelt like a cess pool. Thu" ground under foot was boggy and foul; It was comiwscd of dung nnd rotten matter of all kinds, ai)d upon Investigation proved to ex tend downward to a depth of no less than flvq feet. This huge and fester ing mars of coagulated filth had been accumulating unchecked, deep down In that pit of human habitations, for fifty years' past, Tho heat, quite apart fiom the poison of the atmosphere, was stilling and intolerable; there could nnver be any movement of air In this place, n6r could the sunlight penetrate Its hideous depths. But the windows of threo-Ecore living looms opened upon It and this was tho atmosphere which tho inhabitants drew Into their lungs day and night!" The lingular thing Is that tho na tives of India don't want to bo res cued from the plague. 'When they aro taken sick they hide nway from the eanltary Inspector and practice nil sorts of deception in order to avoid be ing taken to the hospital. In one case light living men In a room stood a corpse up alongside them and tried to make tho Inspector believe that all nine were well; In another room a corpse already far advanced toward decay was seated In a circle of card players In the hope that the inspec tor after n caual glance in the door, vrouTy.certly to the occupants' health fulness and pass on. Th whqW force of caste; suiicrttltlon, religious preju- dice nnd Inherited traditions nmong the natives Is massed against tho ef forts of tho English ofllclnJs to cleatuio these foul places nnd lift the sorlat order up to u. more sanitary plane of existence, and tho Impression which Mr. Hawthorne convey" Is that so long as thls"phall be tho case, tho battle for hotter conditions will bo hopeless. He flndo among tnany hu mane Kngllshmcn who uro working ltlto hi roes to fight back the disease the belief tlint It would bo well to let tho fast multiplying millions of tho na tive rprcfl kill their surplus population off by tho combined process of Infantl cldo and filth and thus spnro civiliza tion tho problem of feeding tire grow ing mass of supcrlluous unfortunates whom India Itself Is lnsulllclent to maintain. This opinion, nakedly stated, looks barbaric; but It Is tho only solution possible unless tho Intelligence and humanity of the Christian world shall go at the task of publication In In dia on a scale commensurate with tho need for It. The appointment of John P. Bray of Noith Dakota to the consulship of Mel bourne, Australia, negatives the hopes of a promising Pennsylvania nsplrant for that honor, Charles U. Snyder, of the Hazlctoii Sentinel. Mr. Snyder pos sessed the ndvnntago of an extensive acquaintance- with the business men nnd Interests of Melbourne nnd would have made nn excellent official, but since his appointment Is not to be, wo can only hope that Mr. Biay will do as well. The Scholar in Politics. Before the boaid of regents of the unlveislty of the state of New York the ether night Governor Black de livered an nddiefcs upon "Education ntH the Sliito" which abounded In tell ing point. Its central theme was the Idea that the scholar, because of his eqiili ment, Is speclallly'bound to serve the Mate, to act as a citizen, to work as a politician. The tenor of the ad dress Is aptly condensed by the Troy Times In these words: The scholar, at home In the domain of Ideas nml with all his powers drilled to thcoilzlng, Is tempted to stand at one side nnd keep up a running flro of comment as the public profession pusses by. Hut the best comment upon the movements of affalis comes from the Inside and not from the outlde. The seer has his func tions, but tno steoplo Is too lofty an out look for him. As LAwcIl taught, ho must go down among the people. Otherwlso he may get nothing but dizziness, and ho will be too far away for the multitude to hi'ar bis voice Moreoer, the scholar ac tively In political life learns the fratern ity that dispels distrust nnd that awakens tho toleration which Is the deseit nnd ths crying need of those who amid the darts of criticism are honestly trying to do tho world's work. To revolt, though, to tho governor's own words, let these citations testify to their dynamic dltectness: "Tho larger forces that push, cut and con quer, that dispel darkness and build temples, and make the fondest dreams seem reasonable ambitions, must rest upon tho base of high and conscientious scholarship. As the woild enlarges the scholar should broaden with the rest. Ho should grow to tho size of a states man and not shtlnk to the crippled stature of a critic. Evils exist In the world, but men aro very rare w ho have not heard of that. The need Is for cor rection, and for aid to those who ate willing to attempt It. One fighter on tho spot Is worth a thousand critics at home. "If tho scholar would sometimes min gle in the current of affairs, would step down from the shades of the bank und let that current touch him, he would know after that that not every man who enters that current goes over tho dam. If he enters lesolutely nnd works well he may bring some rubbish ashore, and even if the stream appears not to have been Improved much where ho stands, It will be clearer below. All those struggling for the same destina tion should be willing to reach It even by different roads, nnd each should re member that losing sight of another who has proceeded by a different path Is not proof that that other has tui ned back. The bame forces,, aided by tol eration, will win a thousnnd times and the next thousnnd times, governed by dlstiust, will fall. Confidence Is better than distrust, better as a weapon for you, bettor to encourage others who bear and realize responsibility." Criticism, after all, Is helpful only when just. The pessimist creates dis comfort but naught else. One act that has a definite purpose Is better thnn a thousand glow la which nlm at evils without attempting to cure them. Tho scholar who Is broad is tolerant. Tol erance measuies deeds not by Ideals alone but w 1th nllowance for restrictive and hampering conditions. Often tho most helpless doers are tho most vol uble talkers as to how deeds should be done. Affirmative endeavor may make mistakes, but tho fair rule Is to weigh error and good agulnst encli other nnd seo which turns the balance. This tho scholar In politics too often falls to do. A table of the amounts appropriated by the various states to popular edu cation has been prepared and' It shows that Pennsylvania, heads the list. Well, that's a position we needn't bo ashamed of. Bosh. One of tho great vices entering Into the life of the nation, accoidlng to tho Chicago Tribune, Is "tho thirst for of llce." In that Journal's opinion. It lo becoming worse and woiso every year, und Its exemplar In every community "are the drones;" "the men who nro found at national and state capitals and In large cities seeking office are usually tho lazy und often tho vicious und dishonest." Nonhcnse. The men Avho hunt politi cal ofllce nro not worse upon tho aver age than tho men who Book private employment. There are hnngers-on In every field of labor and In politics thebo uro usually tho most conspicuous, per sistent and effusive. Dut the same la true In other vocations, and especially at tho headquarters of large corpora tions and other places wlierc tho favor of thoso In authority is helpful In securing preferment. In this country it to no crime to seek office. The very men who tnako tho loudest Jiowl over the thirst for it nre often tho greatest victims of that thirst, and howl chiefly because their appetite has not been appeased. It Is true that In the minor positions opened through politics tho rewards look big ger at a dlstanco than they do after 1 they have been experienced. It Is also (ru'j that the nblllty icqulrcd In those positions might, upon tho whole, win better recompense In prlvato channels, IJut If t Is proper for the big guns to seek tho big offices, who can con sistently turn on tho smaller ones whoso ambitions arc less exalted? "What would politics amount to In this country If the offlcs hnd always to pur sue the man? A curious kink In human nature was revealed by the young woman In New York tho other day who visited each of the leading newspnicr offices nnd told with great detail a story of the suicide of an alleged friend which upon inquiry proved to b nbsolutely ficti tious. The young woman gained nothing-by her deception, but Instead made herself liable to arrest, and solely, It would seem,, for the purpose of creat ing a mild nnd momentary sensation. No wonder Max Nordau argues that the world shows symptoms of degen eracy. When wo reflect that the Pacific ocean In urea Is neatly twcnty-tlvo times as largo as tho United States and that on Its bosom the world's com merce will one Tlay bo floated, the im portance of securing the key to this ast traffic, Hawaii needs no further demonstration. Tho United States must take Hawaii or give It to some other big power. Which will It be? It Is a peculiar fact that tho trus tees of Brown university never dis covered what a poor executive Presi dent Andrews was until he began to utter opinions on tho colnnge question out of hatmony with their own. m The premier of Canada, Mr.' Laurier, Is convinced that the latent sentiment of tho United States for England Is ono of affection nnd reverence. Let us hope, then, that Englishmen will hereafter fa conduct themselves as not to keep this sentiment latent. In deciding to prepare the prince of Wales for regal honors by degrees Queen Victotla dlsplajs again her good common sence. It seems to be tho gen eral belief that the prlnco stands In need of preparation. The fact that ex-Queen Lllluokalanl hns been visiting tho senate chamber at Washington lately ought not to oc casion uneasiness. The sights In tho cnpltol are well worthy of even an ex queen's eye. No one will begrudge Editor McLean the fun he Is securing In Ohio poll tics just now. It Is all he will have to show" for the Investment. If Wojior Is wise he will not order any more troops to Cuba until ho hears -from McKlnley. Boat fare to Madrid Is expensive. Uncle Horace Bole, of Xowa, asserts that tho free-sllver-at-16-to-l fad Is dead. If It Isn't, Uncle Hoiace Boies la. "NEED OF ECONOMY. From tho Chicago Chioniele. A writer for the press has summarized the appropriations for tho army nnd navy of tho United States from lS'U to 1897. The total Is enormous. Not only that, the country seems to have, comparatively llt tlo to show for Its money. Nine-tenths, or perhaps a larger proportion, of tho peoplo of this county do not see a soldier from one year's end to another perhaps never seo cne. To tho generation that has grown up slnco tho war tho sight of a soldier Is as uncommon as that of a comet. Yet our army costs more annu ally than tho entire sum expended In 1850 for the maintenance of all tho depart ments of tho government. o According to this authority and tho figures are supposed to be ofllclal.tho fol lowing sums wero expended for the years named to maintain the army and navy: Year.

During that llmo not a hostile shot was fired on tho North American conti nent except In barroom brawls or by po licemen chasing fugitive crlmnals on tha stieet. For about $75,000,000 last year only $17,000,000 moro than tho United States spent Great Urltaln had an army of 7.C00 officers and HS.000 men, tho main portions of which were scattered In girrl bons throughout the world, while somo detachments were frequently engaged In active watlike cpeiatlnns. This does not Includo tho India establishment. Eng land's drum b-at Is heard uround tho world, whllo there are not fifty military drums In active lso In tho United States, and ihose heard are at only a few scat tered points far distant from each other, deslgntted as "cne company" or "two company' posts, representing the power, dignity and glory of the United States government as a military power. Vov $112,000,0011 a year, leB than double our army expenditure, tho German empire maintains an atmy of 23,000 ofhccrB, 62,000 men and 100,004 horfees for nil purposes. An army twenty times as numeious as that on our muster costs less than double tho expense account of ours. o Tho cost of the United States navy is about In the same disproportion to tho number of Its ships, guns and men as compured with other nations. IJoth estab lishments are topheavy and nro main tained with the same extravagance that Is displayed In all other departments of the government. No one would advocate a reduction In the pay of the soldiers or sailors nor adcciease In the supplies for clothing, arms and food. But It Is evi dent that greater economy could be prac ticed without Impairing tho efficiency of the land or naval forces. It should bo mentioned that the above figures do not lrcludo the appropriations for pensions. linil ADVICE. From the Post-Express.

Krom tho Philadelphia Ledger. The greater republic of Central America Is now nn established fact. Stretching from Mexico to Colombia, It Includes tho Independent republics of Central America, namely, Quaterrala, Honduras, San Sal vador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, Tho confcrodaUon wns Inaugurated by tho treaty of Amalpa, mado In September, 1895, and ratified a year later by San Sal vador, Honduras and Nicaragua. Tho al liance has been completed by the entry of Guatemala and Costa Klca. While tho consolidation may bo better described as a confederation than ns a positive union, It 1b not Improbable that In the course of time tho amalgamation will bo mado com plete, In tho same senso ns the Indis soluble union of the United States of America. Tho object of tho confedera tion Is defined to lie tho amicable scttlo- roent of nil matters of foreign relations affecting the Individual countries. There Is to bo a diet of deputies, meeting suc cessively at tho respective capitals, and. In he event of arbitration, preference Is to be given to tho United States. Guatemala, which was established ns a lepubllc In 1847, has an area of 63,400 Eng lish square miles', nnd Its population Is estimated at 1,500,000. To foreign popu lntlon Is about 12,000. Sixty per cent, of tho whole population Is of purely Indian origin, nnd tho remnlnder Is mostly half caste. The United States sends tho most Imports, Individually, and most of the commerce Is conducted In the United States vessels. Honduras became a re public In 1839. Its area is about 43,000 square miles and Its population Is over 400,000, mainly aboriginal Indians. Moro than half its trade, Import and export, 1 with the United States. San Salvador beenmo an Independent republic In 1&53. Its area Is 7,225 square miles and Its pop ulation Is something over 800,000, all of whom are aboriginal or mixed races, ex cepting about 20,000 whites. Great Brit ain leads In tho Imports, but most of tho exports go to tho United States. Nicaragua's area Is estimated at 49, 200 miles, and Us population at 420,000, tho number of Europeans and their descend ants being very small, about 1,200. Tho commercial statistics aro vague, but transactions are had principally with the United States, Great Britain, Franco and Germany. Nicaragua occupies a large space In tho public eye on account of its projected canal and the contention re specting tho control of tho same. Costa Rica has been an Independent state since 1S21. It hns an area of 23,009 English square miles and a population of about 300.COO, of whom there aro 6,500 foreigners. Most of tho commerce is with tho United States, Great Britain and Germany. o These samo republics formed the Cen tral American federation for some time prior to 1853, In which year the federation was dissolved. Slnco then tho republics have not always been amicable neighbors, but It ! to tie heped that tho new confed eration will Improve their relations. All of thorn have shown a friendly disposi tion towards the United States, with the possible exception of Costa Rica, whero British Influence Is strong. Nearly all of tho whites In the greater republic are of Spanish origin, but their sentimental ties with the mother country were sur rendered oven beforo the political rela tions were dissolved. The United States welcomes the disposition of tho Central American Mates to work toKPther In har mony, as this tends towards the mainte nance of the American policy as exhibit ed In tho Monroe doctrine.
