We want to wee a good Library ewteb-

culiar taste the standard for all, but let
every one by a wise liberality, make due
provision for the ratification of tastes
diferent from bis own, Let there be
History and Philosophy for the thoaght-
ful, Voyages and Travels for the enter-

devout, Pootry for the imaginative,
Romance for the young and sentimental,
and good old fashioned Stories for the!
little ones. We repeat, that we heartly |
wish there was a Library established, not
only in Summerside, but in every School
District in the Island. We are quite
satisfied that if we were a reading people,
we would soon become a happicr and a
richer people. Will not seme of our en-

men, set about forming a Library in the

there is no use in talking.

OUR POLITICS,

As nearly every ove in these days is
tulking polities, we intend to have our say
too. What we want to say is, that the
SUMMERSIDE JOURNAL has no potities—it
belongs to no party. It does not wear
the colors of any faction, It does not belong
to the Conservative Party, the Liberal
Party, or to the Middle Party. It is, and
jutends to remain, perfectly neutral. We
do not pretend to say that we have person-
ally—out of the editorial chair-—no politi-
cal leanings, vo party likings and predilee-
tions; we haye them of course, but what
we Wish to tell the readers of the JourNAL
is that we dont intend to trouble them
with them, We have made up our minds
to keep them to ourselves, Like our opin-
ions on free will, predestination, the ritu-
wistic question, &e., we look upon them
as our own private property, aid haye not
the remotest intention of thrusting: them
down our subsreibers’ throats, Still, we
reserve to ourselves the privilege of ad-
yocating all measures which we consider
may tend to the public good, and of de-

tempt to encourage them, ‘Their course
