4 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTO THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTO) _Suty 18, 1890. THE EVENING STAR Circulation of any Newspaper in the Werld, and as an Advertising Mediam is worth mere than all the other papers published in Washington. Through an inadvertence the statement was printed in the news columns of yesterday's ‘Sraz that if the appointment of successor to Jadge Montgomery is to go outside of the Dis- trict a candidate from New York would be the favorite of the bar here, for the reason that the New York practice is somewhat more like our own than that of the western states, It is not Tux Stan's opinion that the local bar is or will be making favorites among outside candi- dates ou the assumption that all its own mem- bers are to be discredited as unworthy of ap- poiutment, and there is not the slightest simi- larity between the New York and the local practice. Taz Star's views concerning the wisest manner ling vacaucies in the Dis- ‘trict Court have been frequently expressed and are weil known. A practicing lawyer of thor- ough legal training and judicial tempera- ment should be selected, personal fitness and not political or personal service be- img considered by the appointing power. Among practicing lawyers one who has been trained to common law practice should be chosen. as code lawyers are entirely at sca ia Fespect to methods of District procedure. Both tho general and the special fitness sug- gested will be best secured by appointing a member of the District bar, a course which commends itself both to sound judgment and to republican good faith in pursuance of the pledges of approximate home rule to the terri- tories of the United States. Some acquired facility in ransacking the intricacies of the substantive law of the Di. rict is also a valuable preparation for a District judge, possessed only by a local lawyer. Our court has the most ex- tensive original jurisdiction of any in the re- public. Its labors and responsibilities are varied and great. It it not the kind of court, and the locai law and practice are not of that simple character, which suggest the wisdom of placing on the local bench some outside poiitician, to become a sort @ apprentice to the court. learning local law and at the same time construing and applying itas judge to the unavoidable injury of the public, The District judges are underpaid, but the position is a life office of dignity, honor, and wide influence. While some lawyers, otherwise well fitted, may be unwilling to make the business sucrifice which may be involved in acceptance of the office, the same difilculty will be experienced whether a local or a carpet bag appointment be determined upon. The District bar is large in numbers and strong in ability, and farnishes the best material out of which to make District judges, oo The report of the board of engineers to con- sider a system of sewers for Washington, sub- mitted yesterday to Congress, is an exceedingly important document, dealing intelligently exhaustively with somo of the highest munici- pal concerns of the capital. The ideal system of sewers suggested involves a cost of three maillion dollars, aud experience teaches that Congress will ponder for a considerable period before appropriating this sum, no matter how wise and even necessary the expendi- ture = may be. Ustd the time when in the pleasure of Congress the report will becom: the basisof compre- bensive action by the Disti‘ct’s legislature, it will serve as a store house of information upon which the people and municipal officers of Wash- imgton may draw for guidance im respect to sewerage questions, In connection with sug- gestions concerning the wisest disposition of the city’s sewage, the commission consider the problem 2f protecting the low-lying section of the city, including Pennsylvania avenue, from floods, and recommend the erection of dikes fifty feet wide along the reclaimed ground, and across the vailey of the James Creck canal. The estimated cost of these dikes iw ouly #44,600, and the commission report that they will be effective in preventing floods, Measures im this direction to protect the city should be taken promptly, and should not await the more deliberate consideration which will doubtless be given to the plaus of creating a vast sewage systeua that will serve satisfactorily and be creditable to the capital of the nation for many years to come. a There would seem from the report to Gov. Jackson by Mr. Hodson, Maryland's represen- tative before the Virginia legislative commit- tee on the oyster boundary dispute, to be some ground for expecting an amicable adjustment creditable to both sides. The principal pomt contended for by Maryland, and according to ‘Mr. Hodson couceded by Virginia, in that neither commonwealth under the compact of 1785 bas the right to regulate fishing in the Potomac without the other's assent, and that in cousequence Virginia had no right to lease its | flats So Virgimia and Maryland have ceased frowning and now smile at each other. The Chesapeake industry looks bivalvular rivals or intending rivals squarely in the face in the spirit of old times. oo The proposed reapportionment. it is eup- posed, for the precise figures are not yet known, will cause again in the northwest and a loss in the south. The chief losses will be in Georg, Mississippi and South Carolina If the present basis of 332 Representatives is kept on the estimate of 64,000,0¢0 population for the United States, the population requisite for a district would be 192,771. Pennsylvania and Ohio will probably make gains. The sugges- tion is that the reapportionment can be made applienble to the next Congress by requiring that where a state loses in numbers all that state's Representatives can be chosen at large on general ticket, and where the number is in- cressed the members from districts, as far as i they now go, to be elected as at present, the Representatives from new or added districts to be elected at large. The effect of this would be ta defeat the Ohio gerrymander, but also to insure the present representation in those southern states having a negro majority, <a | cept in so far as the election bill. if enacted, will interfere. The subject is beginning to ex- cite a great deal of interest in and out of Cou- ares, oe ‘The agreement of the conference in Congress over the Columbus Park secures the essential features of the bill as contended for by the House. It changes the name from Rock Creek to Cotumbus Memorial Park, and it assesses the neighboring property sons to make it bear the improved vaiue. This conference report will probably be accepted at an early day by beth housesaud the bill become a law. While the measure is not perfect in all its details it Will be well received by the public. Giving s magnificent place of resort to the pegple, the public, social, official and transient, will accept it even with the condition annexed of paying « | half of the cost and rejoice that the question is settled eo More humility in the mercury and less hu- Maihty im the atmosphere would please a swei- tering pablic.
