JUSTICE JOHN'S COURr.
A Lawyers Glowing Eloquence Wasted on
the Desert Air.

A Lawyers Glowing ElOquence w aeted on
the Desert Air.
At the Temple of Justice yesterday
morning the courtroom looked very much
like some banquet hall deserted. In the
orchestra stand there were only a dozen
SPECTATORS, including members of the bar
and one practitioner, who is an honorary
member of several bars. The lobby was
almost empty and the big space outside
the railing had only a dozen or two Curl
Gus folks hanging over the wires
Most Of the big crowd had gone out in
Henrco TO see that everybody polled his
little vote and 10 listen 10 words Of Wis
dom from the lips Of the political sages
who watched with eager eye each vote
as it dropped in the box TO assist I'm de-
Gliding the warm contest in the county Of
mysteries.
The most important case for His
Honors consideration was that Of Charles
Clarke, a negro boy, who was charged
with breaking into the store-house of
the Weisiger Clothing Company i'm the
nighttime and stealing two pairs of
trousers and a gOssamer coat. Witness
testified that the goods were taken from
,he clothing house. and identified the
gossamer coat as his property. Lawyer
Randolph made an eloquent speech in
behalf Of the prisoner and warmed up
TO an tlftlonttIluS temperature.
Il thought you wanted TO speak only
two minutes said His Honor.
"The necof sity Of the case demands a
longer speech" replied Randolph.
"Wel, there 5 no use continuing your
eloQuence," added TIE Justice. for I've
made up my mind to send the thief to
the grand jury so as TO give my friend
and former customer, Zimmerman. an
other chance to take out hf revenge on
me through the columns Of the Dispatch"
Clarke was also sent 10 the jug for twelve
months for being "A suspicious character.

soUANpERING THE PUBLIC MONEY.

Several days back, In meeting or
tire Committee on Streets, Alderman
Allen offered the following resolution:
whereas 1t is shown by official figures
obtained from the City Engineers Of
fee that the cost OF digging sewer
trenches by the present system costs at
least 50 per cent more than by contract,
and believing that public funds should be
economically expended. and the greatest
benefit be given TO the greatest number,
now. therefore. be II
Resolved. That the work OF digging new
trenches be done by that system which
will give the most benefit for the amount
expended to-wit-by contract.
On taking the vote the resolution failed
10 pass. Messrs. Allen. Baheh. Gray,
Thomas and White voting for II. and
Messrs. Brauer. Davis. Stratton. Turpin
and Curtis voting against It. Two Of the
members OF the committee Messrs. Boy
kin and Joseph w. Carter. were absent.
and. though the question has been up at
a subsequent meeting OF the committee.
neither OF these gentlemen were present at
the latter meeting TO vote on the question.
1t Is perfectly plain that they should
attend the next time the subject is TO
be discussed or they should resign from
the committees.
In discussing the questions Mr. STRAIT
ton announced boldly that IL the policy
Of the resolution should become the
city's policy. the citys white sewer hands
would have 10 work for 81 per day.
whereas they are now receiving 81 per
day. For this statement Mr.. Stratton fur
nished no facts that have reached us
Messrs. Davis and Turpin also spoke in
vein which showed that in their opinions
when they were voting away the city's
money they should be controlled by ideas
different from those that would control

we discussed the question a day OF
so back how far the President ought TO
be governed in making local appointments
10 office by the recommendations OF Con-
gressmen. but IT is plain, from what Mr..
Cleveland said 10 a Congressman day
or so back. that he either has not seen
our article or that he thinks he knows
as much about the matter as we do. In
either case II is all the worse for Mr..
Cleveland.
A Congressman asked him the following
question:
Mr.. President. II :wo men have about
equal Democratic Endorsement, and one
held the Office before. TO whom would you
give the placer"
ITO the new one. beyond all doubt"
replied Mr. Cleveland.
But" continued the Congressman,
suppose the county organization and the
Congressman indorse the ex-official. TO
whom would you give the placer
Even then" said the President. Il
should appoint the new man. he having
an equal share of local support"
This is the point at which we fear that
Mr.. Cleveland has introduced an innova-
ton in our customs and methods that
will work badly. lie declares himself
willing to learn the neighborhood's wishes
from those who are not the neighbor-
hoods spokesman, as against what those
spokesman declare it. The Congressman
are the authentic spokesman Of their
neighborhoods. 1t ~ true that political
bossism may send Congressman to Wash
ington who do not truly represent the
best elements OF their districts. Put, If
they do not. 1t is because those better
elements have been too inert or too re-
fined TO mix actively in the struggles
which occurred when the Congressman
was chosen. II they entered vigorously
and earnestly into those struggles their
impress would certainly be made upon
the person chosen. Standing, however,
lazily or haughtily to one side while this
formative process goes on, if they are
afterwards heard TO say that the Con-
gresham does not speak for the dis
tr1ct, they VIII certainly never tdhe part
in elections, and will certainly always
declare that the Congressman, whoever
he may be, is not a true representative OF
those behind him. To listen to them,
then, infringes directly upon the princi-
pie of local self-government, and en-
courages them in their natural disposition
TO shirk the ennui and disagreeable as
sociations of electoral contests. But they
must take part in these If they would
have good government. and they cannot
have good government while they refuse
10 participate in them.

Our principal article this morning on
treating public money otherwise than as
a trust fund received impressive en-
phasis and support from part Of our
special Washington cOrresp )ndence yes
terday The passage is so striking that
we are justified in reproducing it. We
quote from our special dispatch:
Could the Bureau Of Engraving and
Printing, one of the largest and most
important Of the Government, be restored
to tie condition it was in before the en-
actment of the Civil Service act the APP
pointmcnt 1t its head of any Nirginian
ought well be hailed with delight by
the solicitors Of "spOils," especially Of the
kind II dispenses The bureau Is an add
iunCt OF the Treasury Department, and
under control OF the Secretary Of that
department. Before the passage OF the
act referred to there was at one Time as
shown by the records, 100 persons en-
ployed there without authority of law.
All these were put on and off the rolls
at tie pleasure Of the Secretary. who
paid them out Of funds that had not by
law been appropriated for the payment Of
such employees. At that time, the report
of the Civil Service Commission shows.
that Of force of 9S5 persons employed
I'm the Bureau of Engraving and Printing
$50. with annual salaries amounting TO
$3.50 900. we're, upon an investigation Of that
bureau. fol nd to be superiuous. For
years under Republican administrations
this outrage had existed. In one division
il is officially stated there was sort of
a platform built underneath the iron roof,
about seven feet above the floor to ac-
commodate superluOus employees.
In another division twenty messengers
were employed TO do the work Of one.
Although much improvement has taken
place i'm late years in these outrageous
methods of rewarding partisan henchmen
through this bureau. still good deal re-
mains Of the spells system. and quite
enough to make this appointment an oh
iect Of interest to the average politician.
The President has as yet indicated no
choice. for the place. but this much is
known. he Is resolved 10 have il conducted
hereafter on business principles.
This illustrates what will always occur
when representatives. Of the people allow
themselves TO think that they are in any
respect whatever anything more or less
than naked trustees under all the obli-
cations and duties of trustees 1t is the
duty of a councilman TO view every pro-
position TO spend public money just as he
would view a proposition TO spend money
of an infant for whom he was guardian.
He has no more right TO vote the public
money away, except for what he thinks
will bring the public a full return, than
he has to give his wards money away
on some scheme that appeals TO his
whims. The case Of the Bureau Of En-
craving shows what will follow in all
cases OF administering public trusts when
the sound and elementary principles Of
common honesty are put aside in the
smallest particular

RENT0N-
ADDITION

Is about the cheapest property in town.
Already many people have concluded that
they would rather live in Renton Addi-
ton than on the first hill. along by Tenth,
Eleventh, Twelfth. Thirteenth and Four
tenth streets. and the price of the prop
erty is about one-third of what property
is held 1T on the first hill Nearly every
one takes a car to 60 to Twelfth street and
it is only four or five minutes longer
to Renton Addition and the location is
unquestionabiy better. From there one
can see clear over the first hill and Also
have the view tine other way.
Renton Addition was plated on a gener-
Gus plan. Ordinary lots are 90 by 100 feet
in size. although some are smaller and
some larger. There is . 16-foot alley in
every lot.
Division street is 90 feet wide. All other
streets are IS feet wide.
Nearly all Of the streets are graded and
the grade tax paid.
Renton Addition has city water, gas,
electric lights. telephones and practically
all of the conveniences any other section Of
the city possesses.
The price of lots ranges from 81, 500 70
s.. 200 each.
Ever since We first put this propertv
on the market there have been many
disappointed people. They delayed Sc
curing what they wanted until some one
else picked it up and then they regretted
their procrastination. II was 90 at the
first and second sales. and there will b .
lot of mourners this time q usual.
But we can't help it. The sale COM
mences next Tuesday, and intending pur.
chasers should be on hand.

SQUIRE
PARK

Will be governed by certain important re-
strictions:
FIRSr-Lots will be sold only to per-
sons Of thorough rsspectability and good
standing. No one who would not be a de-
sirable neghbor will be permitted to &C.
cure lot under any circumstances.
SECOND-NO house coating less than
o., 500 will be permitted In Squire
Park. Purchasers Of lots ara not required to
build, but are restricted from putting up a
house costing less than 81, 500 when they
do build. No shanties will be permitted
in Squire Park.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. or houses will
not be permitted within 20 feet Of the
sidewalk.
There will positively be no deviation
from these rules. which We are sure will
be highly approved by all persons seeking
a high class neigh borhood and no one else
will be interested in this property.
By the way. one entire block has been
reserved for park purposes for the pres
emit, but ultimately for the residence of
Senator Squire.
The title is perfect and every purch aser
will receive an abstract.
Crawford & Conover are sole agents for
lots in Squire Park without houses. Next
Monday, March 70, they will offer for sale
81 lots at the uniform price of s., 80 each
Persons first to make selections will
naturally secure the best bargains and in
a short time an advance in price on the
remaining lots will be announced. Terms
are one-.hird cash, one-third on or before
one year and one-third on or before two
wears. In this way the deferred payments
may be paid a; any time and interest then
ceases. Of course. no corners will be in
cIuded at the price named.
The Union Trust Co. il prepared TO
sell lots and build houses and has entire
charge of that branch of the business.
You can have a house built to snit your
self and pay for it on very easy terms.
This is BY all odds the finest property in
the city where home can be secured in
that way.
For lots on easy terms, apply 70
