THE DISTRICT OFFICES. What fs Said About the Commissioners’ Order in Reference to Changes, COMMISSIONER RAYMOND DECLINES TO TALE— ‘MB. SINE SPEAKS OF TEE ORDER AB A SAILWANT GENERALITT—MR. DOUGLASS Et- PLAINS HIS POSITION—VIRWS OF CITIZEXS, The order of the Commissioners, as printed in yesterday's Stax relative to appointments and dismissals under the District government, is creating a great deal of comment by the pub- lic generally, and the clerks of the District building are breathing easier over it, for it makes them think that by strict attention to duty they may be retained, WHAT COMMISSIONER HINE SAYS, In speaking of the order Commissioner Hine this morning said to a Starz reporter: “As a glittering generality I think the order is success. It may have ite uses asa notice that a faithful, efficient and honest officer will not be dismissed for the sole resson that he is s coon ae abli ry of . en Major Raymond was approached by a Stan — ir declined tobe interviewed, saying be had nothing further to say on the question. COMMISSIONER DOUGLASS : in speaking to a Stax reporter said: ‘When the order of yesterday was prepared, I drafted and the board adopted, paragraph 3; the necessity for which will appear to the officers in the Dis- trict building much more forcibly than to others, Paragraph 4, or the political fulmi: tion, was objectionsble not only for the reason—which was a business one—that I yesterday, but it is se nanen for two other considerations: First, @ com- mission was not organized to pro- mounce upon abstract problems, whether of sentimental oor practical politics, Second. There is a danger of paragraph four being misunderstood, eit a8 a covert criti- cism pe the past action of the preseut Dis- trict administration (involving, more or less, the reputation of the national administration), or an ingenious attempt at the obstruction of youitis future actions. This would be unfair 0 ourselves and discourtedus to others, Of course nothing of this kind was intended; but the possible mi seoagpipean any lola the dai of executive officers makin, ursions into the regions of legislative jurisdiction or political economy.” VIEWS OF CITIZENS, Lawrence Sands said he thought it would be & great mistake to allow politics to run the District government. He said he thought if politics were allowed to run the District govern- ment Congress would take ‘ay its support and that the government should be run on civil service principles, Chris Heurich said he thought Maj. Rey- mond was on the right track; that inasmuch as suffrage was denied the citizens of Washington politics should form no whatever in the management of District affairs. Mr. B, H. Warner, president of the Columbia national bank, said: “I regard the system of original appointments under civil service as largely clothed with humbug. Government office ought to be run on business oe les and not cntirely given out as a reward for political services, au © republics and believe that to a certain extent ‘To the victors belong the spoils,’ but think that business qualifications ought to be considered every time and that a man should not be put in office simply because he can make a speech or is a first-class ward manipulator. I believe when a vacancy occurs an officer should select an employe witha view to his efliciency in the particular position where his services are to be used. There are many virtues about civil service and also many ob- jections, We will now take a case where a man in office proves himsclf efficient, Iam decid- edly op d to his being put out for puroly politi reasons. If he is a good man he ought to be retained unless there is some personal reason that he should be dispensed with. The executive officer who is held re- sponsible for the success of his administration ought not, however, to be tied down by an: cast iron rules. I think it would bea sent for any young man {o get out of office, bnt where a man has been faithful and givena large portion of his lite to the work of the gov- ernment he ought to be treated with the same consideration as is extended to employes in business institutions, Business is businces.” C. B. Church said: “I heartily endorse Major Raymond's position. _I think that all political questions should be eliminated from the Dis- trict government, What we need is business men who will look after our interests and let politics alone.” Chas, H. Parker said he thought Commis- sioner Douglass was right in his action, He said he was a spoilsman and believed that the party in power should have the of Philip N. Dwyer said; “I am heartily in favor of District affairs being run by republican bus- iness men who fought for the success of the republican party and who are yerreoty capa- ble of carrying out the affairs of the District, notwithstanding the high opinion I have of Maj. Raymond ag an executive and engineer oflicer, which he has proven by his pust admin- istration.” Collector Davis said: ‘The theory of the District government is that it is non-partisan. On that thoory I think the clerks should be selected with a view to efficiency and compe- tency.” Mr. 8, C. Clarke makes the following com- ment: “The order contains the following rule as unanimously adopted by the board: ‘2, re removal from office shall be made until the vote of the Commissioner in charge of the de- partment to which the office belongs, for or against such removal, has been duly recorded.’ Should the two civilian Commissioners earn- estly desire to displace a clerk of the water de- partment «nd vote accordingly, if the Engineer Commissioner should prefer not to vote,his non- action would control and subordinate the action of the majority. The one, saying and doing nothing, would be superior to the emphatic voice and the vote of the other two.” Perry Carson Eevvesed in at the District buildings today and in conversation with a Stak reporter upon the action of the Commissioners in passing the order rela- tive to appointments said: “The action of the Commissioners is their own business. If they don’t change some of the officers here why they know best. They are Cwsars, but between you and me, I will have to get some | stronger cigars to smoke when I come into this ailding to kill the odor of democracy. It is terribie.” “Have you given up all hopes of securing an office?" asked the reporter, *Ireckon Ihave,” he replied, “I have served the republican party faithfully since 1864 and if they do not recognize all I have done, why it cannot be helped. I shall continue to serve the grand old party. This is the last day of the license year, and I have not filed an application for a liquor license. I'm going out of the whiskey business and try real estate.” LAWYER AND POLICEMAN, They Have Some Words and the Latter Arrests the Former. There was a scene in the Police Court build- ing this afternoon in which E. M. Hewlett, coiored lawyer, and Policeman Kimmel were participants. There was a colored woman named Frances McKenney on trial charged stealing some clothes irom Lizzie Chaplin. ‘The hearing occupied more than an hour as there was a large number of witnesses. When Policeman Kimmel was giving testimony Law- yer Hewlett questioned him as to whether he had been in a saloon or dot,apd he answered in the affirmative. When the case was finished the court ac- cepted the colored woman’s personal bonds, When those interested im the case got out in the corridor the policeman and lawyer got into a squabble and this resulted in the arrest of the lawyer by the policeman. The lawyer was os- corted back into the court room and the judge accepted his personal bonds to appear tomor- jou, The chirge will probably be loud and ister z a bance the building ot a eersen A Reception to Clara Barton.

JOE JEFFERSON. Incidents of His Childhood Told by Himself. The Century for November has an autobi- | ography of Joseph Jefferson, After telling of his birthplace in the city of Washington and the adjoining theater, at which his faiher was manager, he says: As amatter of course, being the son of the manager and almost living in the theater, I was always pressed into the dramatic service whenever a small child was wanted. Even be- fore I can remember I was taken on to do duty in long clothes, in fact, such was the histrionic | ambition of my mother that I belicve if Tilly | Slowboy had existed in those days I should | have been confided to her tender mercies at | the risk of colliding my head with the tea kettle. The first dim recollection I have of a public appearance comes before me as a startled child in a white tunic beautifully striped with gold | bands, and in the grasp and on the shoulders | of an infuriated tragedian crossiug a shaky bridge amid the deafening report ot guns and | pistolsand ina blaze of fire and smoke. To me the situation seemed perilous, and in order to render my position more secure I seized by the hair of hishead. “Let go,” be cried; but I was obeying the first law of nature, not Holla, so I tightened my grasp upon his | tragic top-knot, The battle was short but de- cisive, for in the next moment I had pulled off his feather-duster head-drees, wig and ail, | thereby unintentionally scalping the enemy; and as he was past the prime of life, the noble Peruvian sood baldheaded in the miadie of | the bridge before an admiring audience. ‘This story has the flavor of an old anecdote, but I am credibly informed that I was THE ORIGINAL SCALPER, | To go from white to black, “Jim Crow,” in the person of T.D. Rice, now burst upon the town. ‘whe legitimate drama has st ail times been subject to startling innovations, and | surely here was a great blow. The success of | this the first and certainly the best knight of | the burnt cork was quite marvejious. He drew | more money than any star of the season. It is _ reported that his first hit in Washington was | repeated in all the great cities of the country, | and his advent m Europe even surpassed his careerhere. In Loudon be acted in two theaters nightly, the same people in many in- stances following him from one theater to the other. Of course this fantastico figure had a great influence upon me and I DANCED JM CROW from the garret to the cellar. The comedian | saw my imitation of him and insisted that I should appear for his beaefit. So that on that occasion I was duly blacked up and dressed in | a complete miniature likeness of the original, He pui me in a beg, which almost smothered me, and carried me upon tho stage on his shoulders. No word of this proceeding had been mentioned in the Ville, so that, figura- roid i dirs the publig were as much in the darkas Iwas. Alter dancing and singing | | the first verse he began the second, the fol- lowing being the two lines which introduced | me: Q indies and gentlemen, I'd have you for to know. | ‘That I've got a litte darky here that jumps Jim Crow; | and, turning the bag upside down, he emptied me out he first betore the eyes of the astun- ished audience. The picture must have been a curious one; it is as vividly before me now as any recollection of my past life, Rice was con- } siderably over six feet hich, I was but four years old, and a5 we stocd there, dressed ex- actly alike, the audience roared with laughter. Rice und I now sang alternate verses and the excitement increased; showers of pennies, six- | pences and shillin; from the pit) and thrown from galleries upon the I took no notice of this, but suddeuly the clear, ringing sound of a dollar caught my ear and as the bright coin was roiling trom the stage into the orcneatra I darted forward and secured the | prige, Holding it triumphan tly between my jinger and thumb I grinned atthe leader of the orchestra as much as to say, “80 YOU Dox'r.” This not only brought down the house, bat many half-dollars and dollars besides, At the fall of the curtain $24 were picked up and given into my delighted hands. For years afterwards I was —_— to understand that this mouey was placed in bank to my creait, and 1 oar ay Totten borrowed small sume on the | sire of my prospective wealt The recollection of his fether, who died of yellow fever in Mobile in 1842, while thefamily was traveling through the south and west, are highly amusing. When they were making their way overland to by canal boat and primitive wagon, he says: “Often I have seen my father trudging along ahead of the wagon, smoking his pipe, and I have no doubt thinking of the large fortune he was going to make in the next town, now and then looking back with his light blue eyes, giving my mother ir.” df it rained he was glad it was not snowing; if itenowed, he was thankfal it was not raiming. contented nature was his only inherit than tune made in their ‘WaY BACK IN THE FORTIES, | of Shelburne duida, Mews, DALL, daug! b, | Wisiuurton.
