y THE PJTTSBUBGr DISPATCH, FRIDAY, -JAlTUABT, ,10, ISM S WOOD FOE THOUGHT. ATlie Manajjement of the New Carnegie Free Library Considered. MK BRASHEAR GIVES BIS VIEWS On a Sulject of Importance to a Great Institution's Future. HOW SUCCESS COULD BE ATTAINED To tlie Editor orTbe Dispatch: I have taken very great interest in the liseussion and various communications ap pearing in our city papers regarding the management of the Carnegie Free Library, as veil as tbe action taken by tbe Property Committee at Allegheny Councils, and as my interest is prompted by an earnest desire for tbe success of the library, I bope I may be permitted a word upon the subject I bope, too, that what I bare to say may be taken in tbe kindly spirit in which it is giren, as I bare so desire to set np my opinion for tbe sake of controversy, es pecially that which would be detrimental to tbe success of so grand an enterprise. It is to be regretted that some of the best literature that has been written upon the management of public libraries has not been available to the Public Property Committee of Allegheny Councils, else I think they would bare weighed their action of Monday evening last with much greater care, because I believe them to be gentlemen of honor and having the interests of the good city of All e- gneny at ceart. A "WORK TO BE BEAD. I notice they have sent to Representative Bayne for a copy of that valuable work 'Public Libraries of the United States; Tbeir History, Condition and Management," and it is to be hoped that before tbe final de cision is made in Councils this work will be perused by the committee, especially that most excellent chapter on the organization and management of public libraries by "William P. Poole, wbostfknowledgeand ex perience is of tbe utmost value in deciding upon questions of so great public interest. In deciding upon every great question, precedent, wherever available, should always be taken into consideration, even if pnly to guard against errors that others nave fallen into. It would be an unwise action upon tbe part of any man to under take a new business without knowing before hand ail be could kno-r of what has been done in tbe past, so as to commence where others in th same line hare left off, L e., to take advantage of all that is good, to shun nil that gives evidence of error, and this applies to this particular case, if it were ever applicable to any. HOT A SIKECTTRje. The government of a public library, such as we hope the Allegheny library to be in the future, is no sinecure. It will re quire tact, excellent judgment and a practi cal knowledge of the value of such an in stitution, inrder to make it a thorough success. Itithonld be removed from every bios, particularly that important one of politics which, alas, has been too great a factor in institutions of a similar character, and I ss it in all candor, that no matter bow htmorable a Councilman may be, be has soAnany constituents with axes to grind that xrben he would do what his conscience dentinds of him be is hampered in his hon es purposes by those who are ever after his favors, and he has duties enough without assuming greater responsibilities than the law demands. Looking over the first annual report of the Park Commission, of Allegheny, I find that tbe act for the government of the park, section 3, reads: It shall be the duty or the Select and Com mon ionnciis. oi said eitv. to annoint thrco expecting you'will foster, protect and increase It, ihat Its beneficial Influences may be for the present and all future generations as long as our beloved Baltimore snaU lexis.' Now. here wasanoblo sentiment from a great-hearted man. What was bis desire about the board that should guide this noble Institution that is now doing so much good? Judge Brown, in a speech following that of Mr. Pratt, said that Mr. Pratt required that the articles of Incor poration were to contain a provision that nc rtee or officer should be appointed or re ed on religious or political grounds," thus showing bis desire that tbe library shonldbe for the greatest good of tbe greatest number. Let me quote a little further from a most ex cellent article on "Public Libraries and the Young." by William L Fletcher: 'The natural division of associate enterprises into execntlTO and advisory departments is as necessary in a successful library as in an insurance company, a bank or a government." Is our Property Committee willing to take sneb responsibility? A EEPBESENTAIJT BOABD. In looking over a work on the Boston Public Library,! find in the first Board of Trustees the names of Edward Everett. George Ticknor. John P. Bigelow, N. B. HhurtleS, William W. Qreenup, Oliver Frost, Frederick L. Wash burn a citizens' committee of whom tbe Bos tonianswere thoroughly proud, and well they might be. for to-day Boston can boast of her library, and it is the pleasure of tbe writer to say that some of tbe best informed young men of that city to-day, whose limited means shut them otUrom a college education, tell me they owe their Knowledge largely tothfc noble in stitution. Will not, then, our Connclltnen, wbo are thinking men, lay aside their bias, lay aside all thoucbt tbat the desire for a board of trustees wbo shall be fitted for tbe responsible position Is purposely gotten up to usurp their rights and privileges I Tbe beautiful building given us should be made a place lor tbe education of all classes of onr people, else it fails of its pur pose. Education in this grand free country of ours is not a question of dollars ahd cents, but of willingness, perseverance, -patience, brains; and these elements, I am proud to say. are found right here in Pittsburc and Allegheny in onr rolling mills, our glass factories, onr stores, onr carpenter shops, our mUcbloe shoos. our electric Hunt and a hundred other work shops. I could nolnt ont to-day a half-hundred of these noble fellows little known except to their fellow workmen wbo have struggled bard to rave a few dollars to stock their little home library with books on tbeir special bobby; bnt now we sball nave a chance as we have never had to help these good fellows, as well as thousands of others wbo will come after them. ADVICE TO ACT T3P0JT. Gentlemen, look at your responsibility and act wisely. Keep an honest hand and directing care in tbe finances. We trust you, but call to your aia men who will give our library a name among those of Boston. Cincinnati, Chicago, Baltimore, and others of which we may well be proud. With onr public parks, onr splendid conserva tories, our new university, our world-famed ob servatory, our high school, and our new library, we will surely make our mark in tbe records of future generations, and it is onr sincere hope tbat we sball all work for a oneness of purpose namely, tbe good of our common humanity. I have said nothing of tbe splendid accesso ries connected with tbe library, namely, maslo and art, but it needs no argumknt from me to prove tbe value of these as educational factors in this scheme. Has our city property com. mlttee In its ranks men who are especially fitted to direct and carry to a successful issue these two lmnortant admncts tn thu lihrarc Let them answer this question to tbeir own consciences, and we will abide by the decision. As I stood in the beautiful mnsie hall, to-day, with Its noble organ, then surveyed the sym- ucuim uuiu;cuiib m ino an gallery,! saw bow they could be made a power for good in our community, and I believe tbey will. If di rected to tbe purposes designed by tbe pro jector of tbe enterprise, but for success we must have men specially fitted to direct these accessories of tbe library. The Corcoran Gal lery has a board of nine trustees, and in all the art galleries and music balls in this conntrr or Europe, that I have had tbe pleasure Of visit ins and I have visited a great many I have yet to find any of them directed by a committee of a Municipal Council. AS TO THE X.XBRABIAIT. There Is one more matter, of perhaps para mount importance, that I have not mentioned, and that is tbe librarian. . Doubt has been ex pressed wbetber we have a man fitted for the responsible position in onr city. When Cincin nati was ready for their librarian it was deemed necessary to tend to Boston for a competent man. Tbe same was the case in Chicago. It has been argued that tbe man who can conduct a small library can also conduct a large one successfully, or. in otber words, the captaln'of a tncboat can as well direct tbe creat suumrer ...- ... . -i ...-.. rfit : -- JUD&EIELLETDEAD.

Before bis thirteenth birthday William ap prenticed himself, with his mother's consent, to Bickards Dnbosq. Jewelers. The appren ticeship was to expire April 12,1834, his twen tieth birthday. The apprentice was then free and a journeyman jeweler. The bitter war be tween President Jackson and tbe United States Bank disturbed the country, so that business was suffering universal and extreme depression, and there was no work for jewelers. In 1S35 there came such a revival of trade as enabled htm to get employment in Boston, where a former tbopmate had found work and opened a way for him. His stay in Boston had marsea eneet nnon tne nroaaer career -wnicu ability. Industry and perseverance were to open to him. It ,was his good fortune to come iuto contact with men of high attainments, whose Influence and example fired bis ambition and directed it IntonrnfitaMe tmmaratorv channels. A suggestion came from the fate Colonel James, Page, long known as one of the most active or PhiKdelpliians. "Why don't you study law!" "Why don't 1 go to Congress. sirT" replied Kel ley, the one thing seeming to him as practicable as tbe other. "Perhaps you may some day, bnt first come and read law with me." March 9, 1839 Colonel Page registered William D. Kel ley, who baa now returned to Philadelphia, as a student at law in M office, and April 17, 18U, on Colonel Page's motion, tbe Jeweler became a full-fledged limD of the law. In 1845 he was made Prosecutor ot tbe Pleas for Philadelphia, to which place he was twice appointed. Tbe acceptance of this office devolved upon the young lawyer the prosecution of all persons ar raisned for participation in the bloody riots of 18ft, and afforded rare opportunities for Kelley to display his independence of character and forensic ability. HIS CAEEER AS A JUDGE. He continued to perform tbe duties of prose cutor until be was nominated by Governor Shunk to a seat on tbe bench of the Common Pleas, Oyer Terminer and Quarter Sessions. Judge Kelley's commission bore date March 13, 1817, eight years, less ono day. from the date of his registration as a law student, and about a month before he had reached his 33d year. By constitutional amendment, ratified in 1850, the judicial office was made elective. Tbe change was to take effect in March, 1851, when but half of Judge Kelley's term would have ex pired. Meanwhile there occurred an election for District Attorney. The late Horn B. Kneass was tbe Democratic candidate. and tbe late William a Reed stood for the Whigs. The return was granted to Mr. Kneass, bnt Mr. Reed and bis friends came to tbe front with a prompt and vigorous attack on its validity, making distinct allegations of fraud. After the most protracted investigation of an election case tbat bad ever occurred in Phila delphia, Judge Kins;, supported by Parsons and Kelley, delivered an exbaustive opinion, which gave the office to the Wbig contestant. Judge Kelley was known to be largely responsi ble tor this opinion, and tbe vituperation now neapea upon mm served ine Doner to em phasize the pnblic service be had rendered. Thongha Democrat, Judgo Kelley bad al ways been hostile to slavery. In deference to indicia! propriety be avoided open political demonstrations, but in social intercourse a.id correspondence be devoted much time to the discussion of this grave question. He was thus committed in advance of tbe Republican Field, a Louisiana flie-eater, attacked Judge Kelley with a knife in Wlllard' Hotel and severe! v wounded blm in tbe band, which he threw up to protect bid body. The Judge-was often threatened for opinion's sake, but that kind of argument did not modify bis opinions. It was Judge Kelley's boast that he bad never held an office which be had not resigned. When in Congress, he had more than once declined to be a candidate for re-election, final ly yielding his personal desire to the wish of his constituents. In 1870 he wanted to retire from Concrress. and consented to a re-election with tbe-provisothathewasDot to be expected to act as an omce nroker tor place nuniers very practical kind of a civil service reform, plat form.

This was giving citizens outside of Coun cils a very fair representation, although in this case I think no complaint could have been made if none had been appointed. I do not say that Councils should not be rep resented on the Librarv Commission, nor that they should be sWnor anvof their legitimate power, which evidently should still be retained over the finances, and thev would and should have the right to vote upon tbe selection of citizen representatives, ilsuch were appointed by the Mayor. The serious objection, however, that ilr. Poole points ont iu his excellent paper on the management of pnblic libraries to Coun cilmen or other public officers being upon the Board of Managers, is that such officers were elected for other duties, "and have not the time or inclination to make themselves familiar with the details of librarv manage ment. They are required to vote upon sub jects on which they have little or no practi cal knowledge." Perhaps this is a little too broad, because there may be just as good men in our City Property Committee as could be selected, bnt as they cannot, us a body, give their time and attention to the thorough success of the!, library, aside from their other duties, it certainly would appear that they would be acting a, wise part to call to their help the counsel 6f some of the good men of onr city who could .give a share of their time and tal ent to the good of tbe library. Alf ILLINOIS LAW QUOTED. The Jaw ojthe State of Illinois, enacted on the 7th of Jlarch, 1873, covers the ground so well that 1 may be pardoned for making a quotationfrom it. It reads thus: In cities the libraries are to be managed by a board eft nine directors, appointed by the Mayor.yfjtb the approval of the Citv Councils ooe-thrd to hold office one year, one-third two j y. "" vub-uiitu inree years; tne directors are to be chosen from tbe citizens at large, with reference to their JUness for such office. (The f i!rics are m'ne' An1 not H"1 'han one ruem- ,' wuuusu buiui oe ai any one ume a mem ber of the board. JTow, this very law was spoken of as an insult to the Property Committee,' by one of its members, but I certainly think that if he had looked at it in a calm, unbiased man ner, be would have seen that it was meant, first, to relieve them of a responsibility that tbey were not asked to assume when efected; and, second, it seems to me it should need no argument to prove that a board "chosen with special reference to their fitness forsuch office would use every effort to 4do their duty, untrammeled by the leeches that are the bane of every honest, upright Councilman. say a single disparaging, .word of the present uwumu w. .utjwu uunuj. juyown opinion IS that be should be given an honorable place in tbe new one at tbe head, it competent to fill the responsible position but If not, the success of tbe enterprise depends in so large a degree upon the librarian tbat tbe most 'scrupulous care should be nsed In the selection ot a man competent to fill the responsible office. In 1SS3 Columbia College opened a school of library economy. In tbe President's address, delivered at tbe time, I find these words: "In tbe past few years tbe work at tbe librarian has come to be regarded as a distinct profession, offering opportunities of usefulness in tbe edu cational field Inferior to no other, and requir ing superior abilities to discbarge its duties well. Tbe librarian Is ceasing to be a mere jailor of tbe books, and is becoming an aggres sive force in bis community. Thara In & -mm. ing call for trained librarians, animated by tbe modern library spirit A rapidly inereasinc number of competent men and women are taking up the librarian's occupation as a life work. Thougbtful observers say tbat publlo opinion and Individual motives and actions are influenced now, not so much by what is uttered 11 om iub milium or yuiju-. aa oy wnat is read tbat tbls reading can be shaped and influenced? chiefly and cheaply through the library, and tberelore tbat tbe librarian who is master of his profession Is a most potent factor for good." A MONTJMEHT WOBTH HAVDTQ. The good man wbo spoke thus was Dr. Barn aid. He has gone to bis rest, bnt his works will ever follow blm, and nowhere can it be seen better than in the splendid library of Columbia College. Mr. Fletcher, tbe eminent librarian, in an ar ticle oh'IJbrarles In Manufacturing Districts," says: "The character 'of the librarians and tbeir bearing toward the patrons of the library deserve close attention. To the knowledge and good. breeding which, would make tbem accept able to the literary and cultivated people' they sbould add tbat affability, kindness and sympa thy to even tbe poorest attempts at culture." and he further urges that tbe librarian and his assistants sbould become interested in' the poorest and humblest ot tbe library's patrons, directing tbem by kindly words what Is best to reaq. ana tuuS' ieaa mem to usefulness and knowledge. Yes, gentlemen, tbe importance of this office sbould not be lot sight of, it vou propose to do your dutv. With a thoroneblr cnmn.imt librarian and assistants with a board of direc tors wbo have tbe interest of the library at heart, with the finances well directed by tbe Council or its proper committee, wo shonld bring up tbe status of tbe Carnegie Free .Li brary until it shall equal any in tbls fair land and make it a cower for rood In onr rfnr ' citizens' committee, headed by one of their best men, has brought the beautiful building tnrougb its successive stages to completion! Can we not trust such men to direct Its future for the good of the whole community? i. A. Bbasheab. ALLEanEirr, Januarys, 190l IHE MONET QUESTION. It was also intimated, in connection with this, that it was not necessary to appoint a board composed or men "who could write six or seven figures to their names, to show the size or tbeir bank aceount." (The Press January 3.) Surely this is unworthy of the excellent man who is charged with saving it, and lean scarcely think be is rightly quoted. I am sure Mr. Carnegie would not make dollars and cents his snide, if be had the appointment of a board, unless with the dollars and cents there were brains and brains such as would direct his favorite 'enter prise to a successful Issue, L ., tha education ot tbe masses and tbe intellectual development of tbe community. That eminent adviser, Mr. Poole, epeakln" on this very subject, aays: "It is hardly necessary to remark tbat a board of directors should be relected ftmm the most Intelligent, cultivated and influential citizens of the community." Dollar and cents are not mentioned, bnt surely this ean be no otijectlon. If the otber good qual ities go with tnem. Surely the same logic could be carried farther, and say, refuse to ac cept tbe girt of Mr. Carnegie, because he can writ so many figures after his name. No, these arguments are unworthy the notice that has been given them, and I can only think tbey were used under undue excitement. A GOOD ONE TO GO BT. Mr. Carnegie, In his excellent article in the December number of tbe JTorth American. Re view, speaks In tbe highest praise of the linoeh Pratt Library of Baltimore. In a paper, ljefore me, tha Baltimore jmuriean, of Jan tiary 6, l&S, In which tbe formal opening of the free library is noticed, 1 and these words cf .Mr. Pratts "Now.

HIS F1EST NOMINATION. In August of 1858 Samuel V. Merrick, Gen eral Hector TynHale, Judge Kelley and other gentlemen Interested In tbe long dormant Sun bury and Erie Railroad enterprise, sat out to locate a route. There were not even stage lines through the wild region, and Uwas necessary to hire wagons at Lock Haven. When the party reached Williamsoort on the way back, tbey found the first Philadelphia newspapers that bad been seen for several days, and from these Judge Kelley learned that, the Republi can Convention of tbe Fourth Congressional District bad placed bun in nomination. He had not been consulted by anybody about mak ing such use of bis name. Iu determining to accept tbe nomination, he also determined to throw himself actively Into the campaign against slavery and then to leave the bench. Of course Judge Kelley was defeated in tbe race for Congress, and of course be resigned his seat on tbe bench, bavlpg held it for ten years, and made an honorable record as a learned, fearless and impartial judge. Judge Kelley was now thoroughly Identified with the Republican party. He was a. delegate In the Chicago Convention of i860, and wben Lincoln was chosen to be President Kellpy was elected to represent tbe Fourth district of Pennsylvania In tbe famous Thirty-seventh Congress. Jndge Kelley has held this seat witnout intermission since wen. It is not necessary to follow the details ot Judge Kelley's career Ju Congress. Tbey are knit in with tbe history of tbe Republican Earty, and are better known than the story of is early straggle and tbe record of bis early achievements, which it is thought well to give, not only as a key to a public character, but as a stimulus and an encouragement to Ameri can lads of small opportunities and honorable ambition. ITE STOOD WITH THE FOUEMOSX. It is enough to say of Judge Kelley's record in tbe House that be at once took rank beside the most earnest and able of tbe defenders ot tbe Union; that be favored tbe most vigorous conduct of the war, and interested himself per sonally for the comfort of tbe soldiers; tbat he was In favor of emancipation and manhood suffrage, and so early as 1862 advocated the arming of tbe negro; that he took an advanced Republican position on the question of recon struction! that be advocated the Morrill tariff of vm, and has since stood valiantly by tbe protective principle, and has defended tbe greenback as a good and lawful money, no less serviceable In peace than In war. Judge Kelley was always busy, though not alwavs In the best of health, and understood better than most men how to economize time. Ho conducted an Immense correspondence, to which be was able to attend, promptly with the aid of an accom plished shorthand: secretary, whom he kept busy at bis dictation. llVvhile Fernando Wood's Ways and Means Committee was in tbe agopy of bringing forth thatgrotesqne monstrosity known as the Wood tariff bill, and while It was being knocked about in tbe House, to the Judge's private rooms in Washington came everybody who visited Washington on business in any way connected with the protective side of tbe tariff question. Forty gentlemen, representing more than half u inaMj luwrau, Kaiuerea mere at one time, and a bushel of letters and telegrams was wait ing to be looked into, the Judge giving audi ence and going over his mall as be lay upon his bacl suffering from a serious fall. A gen tleman who came to instruct tha tanir n,nm. plon on tbe drug list bad bis audience, and was passing out wben be met a tinplate man. to whom he said: '1 came to tell Judge Kelley about our busi ness and how the Wood bin will affect it, but he knows more about it than I do." "is tbat sor Weil, Pve just found that I v hjii mui aojffujng aooui uupiate, and he has given me some good suggestions which bad never occurred to me." NOT AXONS BEQABDINO FIG JJtON. It was one ot the secrets of Jndge Kelley's strength on the tariff question that he had ex. plored It to tbe bottpm and through all Its ramifications. He never forgot. This readi ness he never exhibited to better advantage than in his speech against the Wood bill, which old stagers declared to be' tbe greatest speech on the tariff question ever delivered in the American Congress.
