4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: —————— THE EVENING STAR bas tne fallest Lecal Ctreulation of any Newspaper in the Werld. and as an Advertising Medium is werth mere than all the other papers published tm Washington. ss ‘The assistant attorney for the District in his communication elsewhere does not construe the law against aliens to involve a forfeiture of real estate purchased by them on the instant that title is acquired, and disclaims personal responsibility in reporting a valid title in the case of the alien vendor to the District. Whether the statute merely establishes the com- mon law disability of aliens, in accordance with which the latter may acquire and transfer real estate until hostile proceeding is insti- tuted by the state; or whether, as many law- yers maintain, the words of the statute go farther than the common law rule and work an immediate forfeiture which is perfect and independent of the legal proceedings that serve only to enforce it, is a legal question to be determined by the courts. While the question remains undecided, the doubt con- cerning the construction of the law and the forfeiture of the property willbe to the cau- tious buyer almost as complete a bar to a pur- chase froma known alien as a certainty that the property has peen forfeited to the United States. For the prudent man will not take his chances with such title, nor will the careful lawyer approve it. The opinion that Mr. Davis and not the Com- missioners would be blamable in case a bad title had been passed was doubtless based both upon the Commissioners’ and Mr. Davis's own statements, Mr. Webb replied toa suggestion that the use of the middieman might compli- cate the title, “for the safety of the titles * * they look to those to whom such matters are entrusted * * * with entire confidence in the wisdom of their advisers.” Mr. Wheatley testified that he examined no abstracts, but depended on the judgment of the District's attorney, and “would hold him responsible for any mistake.” Mr. Davis stated that report was made by the Dis- trict’s attorney upon the validity or invalidity of the title in the person conveying to the Dis- trict, which of course included the middleman; and that in case of these school sites many of them came under his personal notice, and most of the conveyances were referred to him for his individual investigation and report. It appears from Mr. Davis's letter that in examining the alien vendor's title, and in reporting it good, he relied entirely upon the certificate of a title company, just as the ordinary buyer who had no ability to examine the title for himself would do. The responsibility for personally exam- ining and approving this title with the others in school-site purchases, at first shifted from the Commissioners upon the shoulders of Mr. Davis, is now passed along by that official to the next in the line. The death of Representative Townshend from pneumonia contracted in consequence of the in- clement weather of Monday last, the 4th inst.,and the serious illness of several members of both Houses of Congress, together with hundreds of persons in private life, from the same cause, will, it is to be hoped, have the effect of lead- ing that body to favorably consider the propo- sition heretofore so earnestly urged to change inauguration day from the 4th of March to the ‘80th of April. It is greatly to be deplored that ‘an affliction so general and so severe was needed to bring the importance of a change home to those who alone have the power to make it; but it really seems that noth- ing short of such acalamity was likely to secure the required action. And now will not Con- gress take the matter up and dispose of it in ac- cord with the generally expressed wish of the country easly in the next session? The 30th of April is a peculiarly fit date for the inaugura- tion, since on that day General Washington was sworn into office as the first President of the United States. That fact of itself is sufficient reason for the change, inasmuch as no valid objection has yet been or is likely to be urged against it. But there are other reasons even more cogent, only one of which need be men- tioned here. It is the comfort, convenience, and health, even the life, of the immense throngs of people who come to Washington every four years to participate in or witness the inaugural ceremonies. Over two hundred thou- sand people came to this city for that purpose last week, and the probability is that the crowd will be largely increased each recurring four years. Surely the welfare of so many citizens is entitled to some consideration. It is, of course, impossible to fortell what the weather may be on the 30th of next month or on any given day, but it can hardly be so inclement as it was on the 4th inst. At least the spring sea- son is always fairly inaugurated by the middle of April, whereas, as Taz Stan has heretofore pointed out, the weather is almost sure to be unsettled and unfavorable in the early part of March. No better evidence on this point is needed than the experience of last inaugura- tion day; and with these disagreeable and dan- gerous experiences fresh in mind, should no longer hesitate to make the desired change. It can scarcely passa measure that will be more generally popular. ———————— —___ Whether rightly or wrongly West Virginia is gradually closing the gaping dissensions that have given her so much prominence for sev- eral months past. Gen. Goff has been formally denied s writ of mandamus to enforce his right to the governorship. Now it rests with Gov. Wilson to say whether there shall be an extra session of the legislature to determine the questions involved. As the legislature meets biennially the contest can be delayed until another election must be held. The re- publicans relying on the effect of such a dila- tory and high-handed policy on public opinion may choose to let another election decide the issues of the last. In that event Goff may be triumphant after all. a The President is having smooth sailing with his first installments of nominations. The men he has selected and the places to which he as- signs them credit his sagacity and political sense of fair reciprocity. The promptness of the Senate in confirming his appointments shows that there is likely to be the fullest har- mony between the new administration and its party, both in Congress and out, The nomina- tions this week are well received, andhave met with « popular approval all over the country. ‘That some things are not done that it was said he would do is indication that President Harri- son has « great deal of influence with his own administration from the start. —————— Wonder if the fact that the first appointment by the Department of State under the new ad- ministration Az Tae Patas Rovas on THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, March 13, ‘March 14, March 15, TWELFTH ANNUAL SPRING OPE RG. ‘Visitors are referred to residents, Residents are promised s display of novelties excell- the all past exhibitions.
