R. BOSS PERRY'S VIEWS. Anumber of the more prominent lawyers here are becoming active in their en- deavors to impress upon Congress the necessity for legislation which will relieve the overburdened docket and do it properly. Among the many eloquent advocates of the bili to estublish a court of appeals is Mr. BK. Ross Perry, who, when asked by a Stag reporter for an expression of his views, said: “Fora long time we have been confronted with two great hindrances to the proper ad- ministration of justice inthis District. The first, and in my opinion the greatest hindrance, is that, save in the comparatively few cases— not one in twenty—which can be appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States we have no substantial and real appeal, ‘The appeal from one judge of a court to three Judges of the same court is 1 mockery. It keeps the word of promixe to the ear, but breaks it to the hope. However conscientious judges may be there is yet an element ut the root of their nature which is commonly called ial of opinion, So strong and permanent 8 this element at the old Romans thought it proper to say in their laws that no judge ought to feel person- ally aggrieved when a lawyer appealed from his decision, if it was done in a respectful man- ner, Itis unnecessary to go into detail upon this point. It is sufficient to say that our Judges have been and are men, DIVFICULTIES IN THE WAY. “Any attempt to remedy this evil by patch- ing up our present court might scotch the snake, but it could not killit. To suppose that five judges out of eight (the lowest proposed number) will consent that the other three shall be permanently over them is a bland assumption unwarranted by ex- perience. Nor can Congress combine two courts into one without encountering grave constitutional difficulties, But even could these remedies be applied they are not likely to prove effective, ere we have only one appeal that al must be to an entirely different tribunal, We cannot afford to run any risk upon eo vital matter. “The seeond hindrance is the law's dela There are now over 700 cases on the trial endar. me extremely liberal calculation— toe liberal, I fear, to be realized—one judge can try 200 jury cases exch year, Last year there were about new cases coming on for trial. It would take one judge more than three years simply to dispose of busine: m arrears, My own opinion is that three cir- cuit courts should be provided until these eases shall have been disposed of. Then two will oe be needed for the proper dispatch current business, This will require at least five judges in the first instance courts, As for the court of appeals, I would be satisfied with three jadges, I would prefer, other things being equal, a small to a greater number, There is aconcentration of attention, energy and re- sponsibility in a body of three wi with euch addition. THE QUESTION OF EXPENSE. “Whether we are to have in all eight or ten Judges we will still have fewer than some states with less than this District has. But when we consider the nature of our legal business all mere questions of economy become false public policy.

Buyov.— Bartley Campbell's famous play, “The White Slave,” will be given at Harris’ Bijou theater next week by a company which has received numerous strong indorsements. The production 1s regarded as one of the writer's best and holds a place of distinct supe- riority in the department of American drama to which it belongs. The production will have the advantage of excellent scenery. Some of the incidents give opportunity for very effective scenic display, notably the explo- sion of the steamboat on the Mississippi. ‘The cast iticludes Miss Elizabeth Garth as Lisa, Mra. James J.

The first auditor of the Treasury recently called the Commissioners’ attention to the fact that a cee? for dog tags furnished on a requi- sition dated in June 1889 was made against the appropriation for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1890, The tags were obtained for use in the latter year and Auditor Petty charged them against tne 1890 appropriation under a decis- ion of the controller in a similar case in 1887, The auditor in his last letter said the Commis- sioners should have gone to Congress for a de- ficiency, ashe claimed the appropriation for 1889 as exhausted. The Commissioners this afternoon replied to the first auditor sus- taining the position taken by the District auditor, IN NEED OF REPAIRS, Gapi.

The filling in of the details was a slow matter till long after the war. But in the last twenty years the strides forward have been rapid. The promise now is that progress in th every department that the great executive buildings, and even the Capitol itself, are all overcrowded, In fact the crowding is so great a8 to cause great inconvenience and positive delay. Several Senators have this matter under consideration and a plan worthy of the nation, and which will p between the Capitol grounds avenue from the Capitol to the Treasury and other parks in ite range, It is proposed also | to buys similar strij grounds as far as ernment is, although in the very center of the same time prove a measure of great! economy, since in ten years the in- crease = in the value of land Barger Stearns, Johns, Lillie Devereux Blake, Dr, Emily H.

Looking to the future of the more important than resolution has been introduced for mua: pars, and nothing as iaportant since the gon- eral plan of improving the city was decided upon, As all visitors to Washington know the sec- tion which it is proposed to secure for the gov- national capital, noth thi city, common and unsightly in the extreme. On obtaining it the purpose is to remove the tuildings and throw it into a park, It wall thus Kine the south side of Pennsylvania avenue | from the Capitol to the White House, The next step in the comprehensive plan which seems to be taking shape im the Senate is to provide for the erection of such public buildings as are now a necessity in this park, fronting on Pennsylvania avenue, The mere statement of the plan is sufficient to indicate to all familiar with even the general outline of Washington the grandeur of the echeme, While it will accomplixh wonders in the proper de- velopment of the nation’s capital it will at the will more than reimburse the government for the whole expense. The city has reached a int where the present parks can no longer | used for public buildings. Each site costs a | great increase upon the preceding one. The | ultimate saving to the government is one of | the strongest arguments for the plan. Senator Gibson's resolution provides a board for ascer- | inz the cost of the ground in question and reporting to Congress, It is to consist of the Secretary of the Interior. the chief of engi- Beers and the District Commissioners. Senator Sherman's bill providing a splendid ark for the capital aloug the upper valley of | k creek, next above the new zoological | ark, is now in the House committee and is | Tikely to pass. It will be one of the grand | a in the proper building up of a worthy capital The zoological park itself, which was author- ized at the close of the last Congress, is being rapidly put in shape. It embraces 200 Seg | next north of the boundary at Rock creek. Senator Butier bas in mind a plan for an immense audience room that can be used on state occasionss and accommodate a fair pro- portion of the crowds which gather. This is one of the greatest needs of the capital on all public occasions of general interest. The securing of the grounds proposed by Senator Gibson would give a proper site near the Capitol for such a hall of assembly, This might be and probably would be constructed in connection with a hall of records, which is needed quite as much as any other additional buiiding. The whole country, which now takes such pride in Wash- ington, is interested in comprehensive plans for the proper development of the capital and for affording the government the needed facil- ities for the performance of the pubiic business, A _ LV.
