Shameful Condition of the Office.
This disposeS of one of the negroes, but
the other has not yet been punished, and
speculation engages itself with the future
of Taylor. The trial which he brought dis
closed the most shocking condition of af-
fairs at the office of the recorder of deeds,
and it is impossible to see how Mr. Cleve-
land can refuse to take notice of the char
acter of the negro to whom he has in
trusted the recording of the documents of
vital interest to every landowner in WASH
ington.
His lack of qualifications developed by
the trial should call for his instant dis
missal to say nothing of the charges
against him proven by his own witnesses,
that show him to be morally unfit for any
position under the national government.
That he will be dismissed by the president
is hoped, rather than believed. 1t is
thought, however, that if Mr.. Cleveland
takes up the record of the trial and reads
it, with the report of the civil service COM
mission on Taylor's case. it will cause him
to take this action, desired by democrats
and republicans alike in this city.
That the president has not read the re-
port of the civil service commission in Tay-
lor's case viii be read with surprise by
many, yet this information comes from a
source that cannot be questioned.

No BimetaiIic Conference.

From The Richmond Dispatch.
We regret to hear that Mr.. Culberson,
of Texas, one of the delegates already
appointed to the international bimetailio
conference, thinks that the resolution
passed by congress is almost valueless.
1t simply provides that the United States
shall be represented in any conference
that may be held to fix a coinage ratio.
Mr.. CuIberson also thinks that the presi-
dent would have no right to appoint DEL
egates TO a convention called for any other
purpose than this one of fixing upon a
coinage ratio. In fact, the distinguished
Texan holds that the president is bound
hand and foot.
1t is well known that the men who passed
the resolution under consideration intended
by its passage TO provide that the United
States should be represented in any con-
ference that might be convened to consider
the silver question in any form, or any
question connected with the remonetiza-
ton of silver. But President Cleveland is
not only opponent of the free coinage OF
silver, but d strict constructionist. He
has allowed his strict construction rules
to lead him into false position toward
the white metal. He explained a few
weeks ago to two democratic congressman
from Missouri that he had been totally
misunderstood on the silver question. He
claimed to be in favor of a kind of bimetal-
lism which all good democrats could advo-
cate.
Public opinion ought to be brought to
bear upon the president. de is not easily
moved by personal solicitations, but if
the congressman who passed the conference
resolution viii approach him on the sub
ject and impress the facts of the case
upon him he may come TO the conclusion
that il is his duty TO cOnstrue the law
as congress construed it when it was
