THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. FRIDAY........... seeeeeee April 5, 1805. CROSBY S$. NOYES....... THE EVENING STAR has a regalar and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. .-Editor. {Sin order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any tndividnal connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- menis, according to tenor or purpose. An excellent reform was suggested by the members of the East Washington Cit!- zens’ Association at their meeting last night when they adcpted resolutions rela- tive to the administration of the office of recorder of deeds and the method of appointing that official. The present plan of presidential selecticn for that office has never worked to the satisfaction of the people of the District, who are in*: pecu- liar sense interested in the individuality of the incumbent and the character of his administration. No other local office is more closely in touch with the personal in- terests of the citizens, The recorder of Geeds should not only be a citizen of the District, and"iong enovgh a resident to be well acquainted with all its concern: but should be selected by the Commission- ers, who, being themselves residents and citizens, krow far better than can any President the necessary qualifications for the office. The presidential character of the office of recorder of deeds Is a relic of the days when that bureau was apart of the judicial system of the District. The only other office of a strictiy local char- acter that is retained within the patronage of the President, outside of the Commis- sioners themselves, Is that of register of wills, whose functions are much more nearly allied with those of the courts than are the duties of the recorder of deeds. A sensible and modern plan would be for the Commissioners to appoint the recorder as they appoint several other quite as important officials, including the assessors, collector of taxes, chief of police, chief of the fire department, health officer, build- ing Inspector and a great number of heads of bureaus. Whatever reason there may have been at any time for the inclusion of the recorder among the gifts of the Presi- dent, thus making it a plum of patronage to be tossed to some political favorite, for whom office can not be found in his own locality, that reason has long ago disap- peared, except perhaps from the point of view of the President himself, who is pos- sibly reluctant to contemplate any cur- tailmert of the valuable privilege of re- warding partisans at the expense of the taxpayers of the District. There ts merit, too, in the other features of this scheme suggested in the resolu- tlons of the East Washington Association relative to the methods of transacting the business of the reccrder’s office. Every argument that may be raised in favor of a more careful selection of the chief of this bureau, based upon the importance of the work to the people of the District, may be applied with equal force to considera- tions affecting the administration of the establishment which, it is greatly to be feared, is not now run on those good busi- ness principles that should enter into every detail of the work done. Attention may well be paid by the authorities to the recommendation of the association that in- struments of conveyance should be photo- lithographed or copied by some other me- 1 chanic process, thus insuring absolute accurac This plan has been in vogue for many years in the patent office, where the need of care in the duplication of patent specifications is no greater than in the reg- istering cf documents that relate to the ownership of land and so involve interests of great financial value. It Is to be feared that many other reforms would be found necessary by a committee investigating the present condition of the recorder’s office. Taken altogether the situation is impor- tant enough to warrant somebody in au- thority in interesting himself in the mat- ter. —__ «2 ______ ispatches continue to be sent out from ington to the effect that the adminis- tration is very much concerned over the situation between Venezuela and Great Britain and that the officials at the State Department are hoping that no open rup- ture will occur between those nations but that the boundary difficulty will be settled calmly and without resort to force. The rews from Venezuela, however, is not reas- suring on this score, indicating as it does that the people there are greatly agitated and have generally adopted a determination to resist Great Britain’s demand to the extreme limit. A strict observance of the Menroe doctrine as it is generally construed would necessitate active participation by the United States in any dispute involving encroachments on American territory by any European power. To some minds the claim of Great Britain in Venezuela is ag- gressively unjust. The position of that na- tien in refusing to submit to arbitration certain phases of the controversy is not ‘thought to be equitable, as if there be any measure of justice in those claims which it reserves for its own determination there could be no possible danger in submitting the case to the Judgment of a neutral pow- er. However, it is hardly to be expected that any forceful objections to the British claim in Venezuela will be entered by this government. Its attitude toward England in the Hawallan effair, where American in- terests were directly concerned, was one of subserviency, and it ts hardly to be ex- pected that this attitude will be altered merely for the sake of Venezuela and the Monroe doctrine. The administration will probably confine its threats to little powers like Hawaii. It knows whom to kick. —__+ ¢+-_____ vely all the fron-work on the north front of the city post office building is now covered by the masonry. The work will now ehift to te other sides.

A committee of three or four could be appointed to meet on neutral territory and there discuss the*question of just how far the hardness of the times might justify the plundering of the passengers. Difficult cases could be referred to the nearest farmer for settlement. Schedules could_be arranged and carried on each train giving the market rates which would justify the robbing of a train. The weekly quota- tions of some well-established mercantile agency could be subscribed to by every well-regulated band of robbers and util- ized to justify thelr proceeding. Reduced thus to a scientific ard mathematical basis, the business of robbing trains would be much safer and certairly much more con- venient. —_ oe New York police are considerably the fact that they were ne reporters of the World entify the woman who was found strangled and mutilated in an area in a public street the other day, to fasten the guilt upon her murderer. The detectives are now endeavoring to explain that to them belongs the real credit, but there is nothing to justify the claim, for the World has made out a perfect case, and has the most pos “evidence that the fact of the woman’s identity was published in its columns before the pol authori- ties had begun to reach the right clues, and simultaneously with the pubiication in other papers that the police were still con- fessedly baffled in their search. Identifi- cation and detection of the criminal were practically identical tasks, and to the World undoubtedly belongs the credit of having ferreted out what at first prom- ised to become a very mysterious case. For this work the Werild, alw enterprising and usually successful, deserves the thanks of the citizens of New York. —___ 0 -____ The crank who busies his mind with an impossible flying machine or a perpetual motion scheme should not be subjected to too much ridicule.
