The President has now returned from his
recent pleasure trip well refreshed, 1t is
said. by his escape from official cares. 1t
Is to be presumed that, with Congress off
his hands and with the Tresaury in COM
paratively fair condition, he will have an
opportunity and perhaps the inclination to
attend to certain matters that have been
accumula ting for many months past. To
be sure the most important items on his
table at present are the various foreign
complications that have arisen within the
past few days. which, although Secretary
Gresham has acted in each of them, will
undoubtedly be laid before the Chief Exec
utive for his personal consideration. But
there is no reason why the President should
not take very early day to open the case
of Recorder Taylor, which is as vitally
interesting to the people of the District and
probably to many respectable citizens out
side as almost any of the problems that
await adjustment. In a certain sense 1t is
the easiest of solution. Proved charges
have been made against this official by the
Civil Service Commission, charges Of mis-
conduct in Office and Of violation of the
law. Since the President went away and,
of course, since these charges were filed,
the recorders testimony and the uncontra-
dicted evidence of others in the Chase libel
case have even more thoroughly exposed
the recorders theories Of conducting the
office to which he has been appointed an
office which he evidently regards as having
been conferred upon him solely for his per-
Sol al profit and individual comfort. The
President does not so regard public Of
fee. In no less than sixty-one instances
between October, 1881, and March 1892.
Grover Cleveland is reported in favor and
In expansion of the excellent doctrine: "a
public office is a public trust!' In his
speech before the city convention at Buff
falo October 25 1881. when he accepted
the nomination of mayor. Mr.. Cleveland
said: when we consider that public off,
cials are the trustees of the people and
bold their places and exercise their powers
for the benefit of the people. there should
be no higher iIducement to a faithful and
honest discharge Of public duty"

There is nothing like making hay while
the sun shines; like plucking the bloom of
pleasure before it withers on the stem of
time. 1t is to be desired that the President,
in whose welfare and comfort every hui
name person is interested, will do his duck
shooting before the Fifty-fourth Congress
assemblies.

Three years and twenty-six days have
now passed since the post office building
was begun. There were one hundred and
ten men employed on the structure today,
and they are gradually changing the out
line of the building There has yet been,
however no reasonable doubt cast on the
original estimate that the post office will
not be finished before August II, 1906.

Imagine a line of barrels of flour placed

miles long; and excellent snow white flour,

barely produce wheat enough to supply

''Find market for our flour in Great
Britain. and upon these falls you will see
mills erected which will dwarf those be fore
you into utter insignificance.' was the say

founder of the company and the greatest
miller of the century. That market was
found, chiefly through the exertions of Mr..
W. H. Dunwoody, and the Governors pre-

Eyarts at dinner, and the conversation
touched IpoI the idea that men should dis
tribute their wealth during their lives for
the public good. One gentleman said that
was correct, giving many reasons, one of
which was that, of couI Sc, they could not

Well said Mr.. Evarts, 81 do not know
about that. My experience as a New York
