In this issue, a good na til red and thoroughly enterprising correspondent finds objection to the establishment of a free public library in this city, a proposition which bus proved so popular, that happily, no amount of opposition can discourage or dwarf. The only ground given seems to be that he considers public libraries, as a general thing, failures, for the reason that the cheap current literature is already within the reach of all. The Independent fee s with the library committee, that the benefits to be derived from a public library are so fully recognized by all the people that no time ought to be spent in advieihg or urging it. And, so firm are we in the belief that it will prove to be a popular success in Massillon, that for every library this correspondent can point to as a failure, we will name ten, not failures. There are indeed many avenues hrough which ranch good can be accomplished, but it will be diffiicnlt to maintain the position, that more cannot be accomplished by means of. a free library than any other.
