4 — THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. TUESDAY.......... ---April 3, 1894. CROSBY S. NOYES . .-Editor. rmament circulation nearly double the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News “The democratic party believes in home rule and the control of their own affairs by the peopie of the vicinage.” ‘That is the last paragraph in the home-rule plank of the demvcratic platform on which Grover | | Cleveland achieved the presidency for a | Beconl time. The expression has every ap- | pearance of sincerity and there was an era of buoyant expectation as long as many | among the District of Columbia democrats regarded it as a perfectly honest announce- | ment by which the chief executive would | surely be governed. But with the nomina- tion of Charles H. J. Taylor of Kansas as recorder of deeds fur the District of Colum- | bia, faich in the Chicago platform has about isappeared. Even‘ the most enthusiastic apologist for the presidential breach of con- tract cannot find a knot-hole in the plank througa which to evade honest and indig- ant criticism, for the convention jeciared fm unmistakable language that “we hold that the officiais appointed to administer the government of any territory, together With the District of Columbia and Alaska, should be bona fide residents of the terri- tory or district in which their duties are to be performed.” In this matter, however, the President refuses to be bound by the platform which he pledged himsif to sup- port, and as the people of the District of Columbia are practically powerless—being without that right of appeal to the ballot, which most other American citizens e1 joy— they can do no more than make vocal pro- testation against the imposition upon them of a non-resident. It was fondly imagined that when the office of recorder of deeds Was legislated into the salaried class that it would no longer be used as political pap for the sustenance of colored politicians Whose homes were in far away commun- ities, but the imaginings were vain and the hopes that blossumed so beautifully, but prematurely, have withered and are now mingled with the dust. That the President | should have made a local selection, either white or colored, instead of going to Kan- | Sas or anywhere else outside of the District | of Columbia for a nominee, is a conclu- sion that admits of no debate. The office is a purely and peculiarly local one. It is sustained by fees paid exclusively by prop- erty owners of the District, and the sur- plus receipts of the office, beyond the sal- aries and expenses, provide the national government with revenue which, in all fair- ness, should be, but is not, applied to the work of local improvement. Mr. Charles H. J. Taylor cuts but a small figure in this matter. He sought the position, as did at least one or two residents of the District, and he received the honor of nomination by a@ President who deems himself superior to his party platform and not amenable to the rulings of common equity. Mr. Taylor, bav- ing, it is presumed, rendered Mr. Cleveland important service, had to be paid for the work he did, but as the Senate failed to permit Mr. Taylor to represent tae United States as minister to Bolivia, and as the President did not want to give Mr. Taylor his personal check, the chief executive has called upon the property owners ef the helpless District of Columbia to liquidate his political indebtedness to the Kansas negro whose name is now be- fore the Senate for confirmation. It is Feasonable to presume that the Senate com- mittee on the District of Columbia will ask the Senate committee on Foreign Rela- tions why Mr. Taylor was regarded as untit Yo enter the diplomatic service, and upon the | information thus obtained will probabiy | Feach a conclusion as to whether Mr. Tuy- Jor—if unfitted for association with Boii ians—is a proper person to achieve official prominence at the National Capital. | | | | But it | it should turn out that Mr. Taylor is an | angel in ebony, the fact would not excuse | his importation from Kansas to fill a purely local office at Washington. Kansas can not spare such a being; the District of Co- | lumbia does not want him. | One of this city’s delegates to the Chicago |!ack of the institutions which accompany | an advanced state of civilization.” | @onvention succeeded after much effort in bringing the home rule plank and the Di trict of Columbia into close relationsh’, It is respectfully suggested that a District | Celegate to the democratic convention of | 1896 endeavor to secure the insertion in the Platform of the last paragraph of section 11 of the platform of 1892, after adding there- to the words “and the District of Colum- | bia,” so that it will read: “Ve tender our Profound and earnest sympathy to those lovers of freedom who are struggling for home rule and the great cause of jocal self government in Ireland and the District of Columbia.” ——+ +2 __. The appointment by Governor Northen of | Patrick Walsh to be a Senator from Georgia is one that seems to meet with more of commendation among democrats than the average American citizen would expect, for while the democratic party is supposed to be doing its utmost push what it asserts to be a low tariff measure through Congress, it te at the same time rejoicing over the entrance into the ate of a pronounced protectionist. But without regard to Mr. Walsh's views on the tariff or finance, the appointment is ene to be praised, for the mew Senator is a man of unquestionable ability, whether he be in the whirl of politics er the apparent confusion of keen busine: competition. As editor of the Augusta Chronicle Mr. Waish has achieved both rep- Utation and substantial succ speaker he is forcefully eloquent; as one of Georgia’s leading democrats he has earne the confidence of those whom he in art will represent in Congress. Governor Northen | evidently knows a good man when he sees one. ; aS a public Governor Till: is of the opinion that there are restrictions con cerning portable Property which cannot be igno!

Well-fed men in such a body are not likely to cause any trouble, but those who are unsuccessful in their search for sustenance speedily develop ten- dencies calculated to result in disorder. At present it does not seem likely that Coxey will have nearly so many in his procession as he counted upon a month ago, but that the number of his adherents will be large enough to disturb local condi- tions now seems to be certain. If he should march without interruption through Penn- sylvania he will be joined, probably in Maryland, by a Jarge number of wayfarers who are now in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and a number of the smaller towns, so that in the aggregate his force is going to be sufficiently great to demand the attention of the authorities. It is to be hoped that the adoption of anything like harsh measures will not be necessary, but it is certain that the people of the District are not going, even if they had the means after the charitable work of the winter, to encourage the descent upon the capital of crowds of tramps, organized and marching under crankist standards, threatening both the national legislature and the material interests of Washington. —__ + « = ____ Members of the national legislature who are really interested in the welfare of the District of Columbia might well, in some of the frequent modifications of the race-track book-making bill, amend it by limiting the bcok-making to months suitable for racing. December is unfit; so, ordinarily, is March. There should be absolute prohibition of book-making except during months when pleasant racing weather may reasonably be expected. Racing that is merely an excuse for book-making operations should be stopped completely. Washington does not want and will not endure the location here, even on the fringe only of winter, of that all-the-year-round race gambling gang which was ignominiously defeated last win- ter by the United States District Attorney. —_ wee Mr. Coxey’s army is being given food as an inducement to move on.

And now again the sobbing words came surging from his throat: m living in the District, and I haven't got a vote.” “Cheer up! Cheer up! This agony Does not befit your state.” “Alas,” sighed he, “I am unloved By both the rude and great,” “Our worthy President, fair sir, Our ruler, grand and good, Esteems each honest citizen As any ruler should.” His answer set in wild despair the echoes all afloat, ‘m living in the District, and I haven't got a vote. +e Will Congress Permit These to Come?
