WASHINGTON LETTER.
Former Senator Gorman has an
nounced that he will attend the meet
ing of thedemocratlc national committee
here this week. The announcement
was received wi'h undisgulied satisfac
tion bv the other members of the com
mittee. Mr. Gorman's lack of rympa
thy with free Bilver
ib
well known, but
no one has ever impugned his loyalty to
the party nor his great ability as a polit
ical manager. He recently gave out an
interview declaring himaelf as much
oppoBtd to Mr. Bryan as ever, but
stating that he would support him If he
were nominated as of course he will he.
There is a general disposition among
the democrats in this part of the coun
try at least, to let bygones be bygones
and to make no trouble with gold men
who left the party in 1890 and now
wish to come back. The issues this
year will be very different from those
of tour years ago, and, though th*
platform wili reallirm the silver plank,
it is certain that the light will be on
the imperialistic policy of the admin
istration and the British alliance rather
than silver. It is thought probable
that Mr. Bryan will even ask Senator
(lornv'n to become chairman of the
executive committee, a pos! which
cnnBidered to be within the gilt of the
candfdate, feeling conlldent that he
will do his best for him in conjunction
with Senator Jones, chairman of the
Natioual committee.
It seems to have been practically de
cided to hold the democratic conven
tion ahead of both the republican and
populist conventions, with the obvious
iutention of avoiding the necessity of
refusing to accept the" populist plat
form. When the latter party meets, it
will iind the democratic platform and
candidates already selected and if it
wishes to refuse to support
them, it can do so. The democratic
leaders think that by this means they
will get more populist votes than by
the other. A populist split had long
been considered inevitable and many
democratic leaders are glad that it
came this week at- Lincoln, Nebraska,
rather than later iu the campaign. They
believed that the conservative popu
lists can more easily be held lirmly to
the fusion arrangement of four years
ago now that the extremists have re
pudiated fusion in advance of its being
formally tendered.
The United States pension roll con
tains now nearly one million names re
quiring an annual distribution of $144,
000,000. There are still 3 revolution
ary widows on the rolls, 138 widows of
the war of 1812 15 survivors and 48
widows of the Indian wars of 1832-34,
and over a thousand persons who re
ceive pensions for the Mexican war,
which ended over fifty yeare ago. And
the SpaniBh war has hardly begun to
count yet.
Trustees LI Itrary Itcport.
Manchester, luwa, February l4ttl.,lJ00.
To the Honorable the Mayor, ami tile City oun
cll of Manchester, la.
Gentlemen —The trustees of the Manches
ter Free PublloLibraryinobeilleuce to the re
quirements ot Section vai of the Code of 1SU7,
would respectfully submit to your honorable
body the following report In refereuce to the
Free Public Library of our city.
First: the Board of trustees consists of Iho
following citizens, to wit: Mrs. E. r, Carr, .Mrs.
1\ E.
Trlem, Miss Idel Miles, Jo-topii liutchiu
son, 8. A. Steadinan. A. llolllster, Geo. 1'leu e.
A. H. Blake and K. r.
Seeds. During the t-ur
trustee, Mrs. A. S. Blair has resigned and her
[lace has been fllled by the appointment of Mrs
ite~
1
E. Trlem, also trustee, Miss Harriet AuihUeo
nas resigned and her place lias be tilled uy iho
appointment of Miss Idel Miles. Tho olllcers at
present are: President. Mr. Joseph Hutirhlu&on
Vice President. G. G. Fierce Secretary. Mr. li.
1*. seeds. All of the trustees hive taken tho
oath required by law.
Second. The general condition of the library
Is very satisfactory. It is patronized liberally
by the people both as to books aud iu the use or
tue reading room. There Is ateudency to crowd
ing, and It would be desirable, at the earliest
Sle
osslble time, to have |mor- room granttu for
use of the library. There are about 3807
vulumes of all classes In the library at the pres
ent time.
Third. There have been
added to tho Library
durlug the year 1699 In the circulating depart
ment 133 volumes, Including the bouud maga
zines: and In the reference department ill
bound volumes and about as many pamphlets
these refereuce books are Government Publica
tions and are donatlous to the Library.
Fourth. During the year 1899 there has been
i-lrculttted 10285volumes. The largest circula
tion in any ene month. 1070, was lu December,
and the smallest, (343, was lu September, The
largest percentage of circulation was in llctlou
Mfth. There has been a loss of two book*
during the year.
Sixth. The amount of Hues collected wiu
f-.J7.71. This bum has been practically all diss
liursed lu paying lor freight on traveling library,
cartage, P. O. box rent, stationary, cleaulug
room, etc.
Seventh. During the year 1899
there has been
paid to Mr. Hollister as representative of the
Hoard by the City Treasurer 1634 99
From the receipts of alplay lu April 13f 85
Total receipts, $t7u 34

Eighth. The report shows a disbursement ol
$127 04 for books, of this about $.0 was for bind
ing old books. So that actually about 107 dollars
bave gone for purehastug uew books, if this In
deducted from the total receipts it will appear
that the amount received Irom the tax levy larst
year, (one mill,) has Just about paid the general
expenses of the Library. If the trustees had
uoi taken steps, however, to raise money by the
•Show" method there could have been no ad
dltlous to tho Library during the year. Auy
library which depends entirely upon Its old ac
cumulation of books, however good they may
be. must inevitably become moss covered, aud
loose some of its power lor »ood. The addl*
tlonallevy of the half mill, which your body has
so wisely given the people will give us a reasuu
dblo luud lor books for next year, aud avoid
the necessity of our becoming ci-r. nic beggars
for what the people should huve and should feel
a delluht lu furnishing as no doubt they uo.
The explanation of being 13 payments or U.e
lilirariau salary Is that she was paid her De
cember 189# salary lu tboyear 18(J9, and was aiso
paid ber Deccutber salary 1899 ou the last day ot
the year.
The property of the Library is suitably in
sured for a reasonable sum, and in good com
panies., 1:
