4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, May 4, 1894. . -Editor. ‘THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. Gln order to avoid delays, on ac- eount of —— letters to deeds. As a matter of fact, however, Taylor ts nothing of the kind, and unl the Senate is bent upon kicking its own committee on the District much harder Mr. less than the Senate usually kicks, Mr. Taylor never will be our recorder of deeds. The committee by a vote of 8 to 2 has decided that the President's selection of Mr. Tay- or for the recordership was improper, unreasonable and lacking in the ele- ments of justice, and the Senate can hardly do otherwise than support the views of the overwhelming majority of the com- mittee. The recordership of deeds is a purely local position in every sense of the ‘word, and im the interest of the commonest sort of justice should be filled by a local man. Both democratic and republican plat- forms declared their respective parties to be emphatically favorable to the principles of home rule, and although the President has seen fit to violate a solemn pledge his ection will hardly be effective as an ex- ample to those who decide whether presi- dential nominations are or are not good. In the news columns The Star shows how the error occurred by which Mr. Taylor's hopes—if he reads the Record—were doubt- less elevated to the highest heaven, while paralysis and heart disease were cultivated among the good citizens who have been conscientiously engaged in opposing Tay- lor’s ambition. The blunder was a strange one, and although the editors of the Rec- ord may apologize for it until this Congress ceases to exist, they might just as well un- derstand right now that their publication has lost the last shred of its tattered repu- *aton for veracity and is regarded by resi- dents of the national capital as @ sensa- tional and discredited sheet. ——_ +e From the time when the managers of winter racing and the bookmakers who were with it and of it were compelled to cease their violations of law at the Ivy City track they have been declaring loudly that all they wanted was an opportunity to go into court, so that the law might be thor- oughly tested. Yesterday they had a chance for speedy trial, but that there was no sin- cerity in their oft-repeated declarations was proven conclusively. They announced that no advantage would be taken of technical- ities which they thought were available and then stultified themselves by at once interposing a plea of misnomer as to one of the defendants. The plea will simply cause delay for two or three weeks; a mat- ter of no consé@quence to the government but of considerable moment as a precedent. It seems that one of the indicted book- makers when arrested gave his name as George B. Marvin, and as such he has since been known to the authorities. His real name, however, turns out to be John Newton Bennington, and because this fact was not known to the prosecution until yesterday the defense easily made good its misnomer plea. That it should have been able to do so, however, makes evident a weakness that should not be, for if such a plea can be successfully inter- posed the law places in the hands of every criminal the power, by lying as to his name, to retard justice and to increase enormously the expense of administering justice. It is surely a reasonable contention that it is the man who is being tried and not a name, and in the present case it is presumed that witho@t difficulty the District attorney could show that the man who had given his name to the police as George B. Marvin was guilty of the offense for which it was proposed to try him, ~~ = —___. Harrodsburg, Kentucky, has developed a spectacular demonstrationist who out- Coxeys Coxey. C. Peter Springer, accord- ing to the dispatches, proposes to come to Washington in a balloon to join the com- monwealers. He has half a dozen com- panions, provisions for six days, compass, charts and a skilled aeronaut, and proposes to land as often as the balloon needs re- filling. His purpose in coming is declared to be the bestowal of $1,000 to assist the Coxey movement. There is certainly no objection to C. Peter Springer’s coming to this city in any way that he desires, but the trip by balloon, necessitating an ex- pensive apparatus, the employment of a skilled guide and provisions for a long time, is, to say the least, remarkable. The jour- ney could be made so much more expedi- tiously by rail. But his undertaking has the true spirit of Coxey in it.. It is an- other case where the thirst for notoriety has developed into absolute dipsomania. —__~++e—___.

S. Coxey and members of his Commonweal of Christ have been offered opportunities to work and have refused on the ground that their loyalty to Mr. Coxey and their love for the Principles that the latter represented and was struggling for would not permit them to accept the proffered positions. In other words, they prefer mendiceamcy to honest and remunerative labor. It will perhaps strike some people that such unwilling ones are representatives of the other men who make up the so-called Commonweal and slieged “industrial” armies. They prate about the enforced idlengss of the down- trodden masses of American workingmen ard still refuse to accept employment when it is offered to them. They have discovered that vagabondage is an excellent way to eke out an existence for those who band themselves together In numbers sufficient to secure them immunjty from the enforce- ment of vagrancy laws, or, in other words, that an aggregation of dead-beats can go foraging over the United States at its own sweet will where individual travel of the fame sort would end in the workhouse or the jail. Theve has been entirely too much sickly sentiraent expended upon the various bodies of tamps—it is well to speak plainly at this tirae—who are coming from several sections toward Washington. Coxey’s Commoaweal was met forty miles from city by the District Commissioners’ procla- mation, and yet its leaders persisted, tn spite of this warning, in their insane at- tempt to override the ordinances that gov- ern the District of Columbia and the reser- Yation surrounding the Capitol building. Coxey ac4 Browne were effectually pre ected icum pottmg into execution their SE Et Na aE achat ae OR I BAO ene Rei Bali ate EB RS OR Bed at DR calle BM IM intention to speak from the Capitol steps, end now their misguided followers are huddled together in a plague spot and sub- sisting upon the charity of this community. It is a very serious question what is going to be done with the imitators of the Coxey crowd, who are making thelr way toward Weshington. The national capital should certainly not be permitted to become the cesspool for all the human correption which other communities may desire, for pruden- tial reasons, to get rid of. It is to be sin- cerely hoped that measures will be taken to prevent the coming aggregations from even so much as entering the District of Columbia. The time has come to call a halt. If there are not laws already upon the statute books sufficient to keep out the vagrants and the'viciour who pose as rep- fesentatives of the industrial classes of America, thereby casting undeserved re- Proach and discredit upon those classes, the Congress which is now in session should lose no time in enacting legislation that will do it. There is no doubt that many of the members of the various armies are honest, but misguided men, and there is equally as little question that Rerevipatee whelming majority of them are ‘upon the lines of idleness, and infinitely prefer to loaf rather than to labor. + + Mr. Richard Croker is one of the few vis- {tors to this city whose coming has not been connected with the Coxey movement. He attends strictly to Mr. Croker’s busi- ness. ‘What the Coxey men desire is good roads and bad money. Coxey should camp his men—not dump them, SHOOTING sTams.
