Two recorders COMPARED

Editor Times: 1t is not fair that Re-
corder Taylor should submit the accuracy
OF bis work to only two gentlemen, Messs.
scaggs and Hoover, since of the twenty
thousand deeds recorded by him less than
three thousand could have come to the
notice of these gentlemen. Who shall
speak for the remaining seventeen thou
sand? Clearly the hundreds of lawyers
who daily search the records.
When Mr. Taylor claims to have dismissed
only half of his copyists he does not give
the facts OF the twenty-five he found
upon taking charge, he dismissed sixteen,
and has made thirty appointments as
copyists since his appointment. Has he
kept his civil service promises? Let the
record speak.
The ten first dismissed recorded in sew
enteen months seventeen thousand one hun
urcd am seveut y-three deeds, all or which
were perfectly recorded, except thirty
five, and these thirty-fiye averaging less
than fifteen words to the deed, some never
having made 3uerror; hence the BOOKS MADE
Up ny these must be almost entirely free from
erasures and iuterlineations. The av
erage tenure of office of the sixteen dis
missed was five years and thirty-six days.
The average tenure of those appointed by
the Recorder In this merry go-round' way
has been less than four months. 1t is,
therefore, absurd to say that their work
is superior to that done by the trained and
experienced cupyists under Recorder Bruce.
! challenge the Recorder to submit for the
inspection of the public the efficiency
record book adopted by MIR. Bruce, which
will show that more errors, more erasureS
and interlineations have been made in the
record books ny the new copyists during his
term. than were made during the seven
teen months preceding Mr.. Bruce's retire.

SOUND DOCTRINE.

In his address of welcome TO the chiefs
enunciated some very sound civil serv-
ice principles. He declared that in mu
nicipal administration business methods
ought to prevail, 40 appointments and pro,
moJions made save upon merit, and no re-
movals except for cause. He deprecated
that all these things applied with particu-
lar force to the police.
Commits siouer Ross is entirely right
In the matter of appointment, good char
acter and fair business qualifications
should be the standard, while good conduct,
efficiency aud devotion TO duty should de-
termine the question of promotion and
tenure Of office. Upon this basi u model
administration can be reared, nor can the
best results be obtained by any other course.
Chiefs OF police will be in complete
harmony with these sentiments for they
are mo doub Frequently hampered in the con-
troll aud efficient disposition Of their SUBJ
ordiuates ty pressure aud influence from
their Superiors in office. They unques-
tionably realize that the ''morals" OF a
police force is best upheld if the men
understand that they are Judged upon their
merits alone, that no favoritism, bias
or prejudice is allowed TO enter into the
making up Of their records, aud nothing
but their record determines their pre-
ferment.

ment that is guided by them very ideal

FERoCIouS FOES.

One of the most important allies OF
the Cuban revolutionists in daughtering
Spanish troops is the American newspaper.
It'll smightier than the mightiest rebel leader.

II Spain is wise she VIII keep her SOL
diers at hcnle, al safe distance from the
American newspaper. The Spanish ooun-

IL shows that the American press has killed
$4,000 spaniards. This is dreadful. 1t
matters not that there are not nearly as
many troops as that in Cuba. That is
mere bagatelle, and when the American
press gets worked up il doesn't stop at
trifles.
Considering all these thirgs, il is quite

this officials report. It has been sus-
pected that the Southwestern frontier OF
the country is not sufficiently guarded
against the influx OF contagious diseases.
The section is not very densely settled, and
this fact probably is the cause of the re-
Taxation OF that vigilance which is ex-
ercised at other points. 1t would be wisdom
on the part of the proper authorities to take
such steps as the conful's report would
seem TO call for.
In this connection it is important to note
the prevalence OF smallpox at various places
in the Ohio Valley, especially in Wheeling,
Martinsburg, and Cincinnati. Our local
health authorities may as well keep an
eye upon trains coming from that quarter.

BOARD OF TRADE REFoMREns.

BOARD OF TRADE REFOMRERS.
The open meeting of the Board of Trade
last evening was largely attended by repre-
sentative citizens, and the ecampaign.a against
the Iawlessness across the river was Wig
oronsIy begun.
Not much help can be expected from
Governor o'Ferran. His position as
candidate for the United States SeuateSand
the lack of authority conferred by the
Virginia laws viii prevent his earnest CO.
operation. In reply to the protest to be
forwarded by the Board OF Trade he viii
probably send condolences and that will
be the extent of bis support.
But that win make no difference with the
final result. The fact that Washington
sentiment demands a change in the conduct
OF Alexandria county affairs viii largely
influence the coming election and possibly
succeed in defeating the present gambler
regime. There is also hope in the appli-
cation to be brought before the Supreme
Court for the jurisdiction of Alexander
Island. Should this result favorably 10 the
District both Jackson City and the outlaw
track viii lie exUnguished SO far as their
power to openly violate the law iscoHcerned.
1t should be matter for public oongrat-
ulation that the Board of Trade has
proceeded against Alexandria county law
lessness. The question VIII uow be prose-
cuted to successful results.
The Washington times., 1895-05-15

Looking over that splendid body of solid
business men last night, one could not help
dwelling on what they have done 10 make
this one of the most attractive citieS-if
not the most attractive city-in the world.
Throughout the country Uncle Sam gets
credit for it ali, and, while no one begrudges
that jolly friend of the cartoonist every
praise for allthe bod things he has done for
US, it is unfair 20 rob our business men
of the encomiums that are justly theirs.
There was a time-and that not so mauy
years ago-when Washington was scarcely
a speck upon the commercial wheel. Trade
could not be bracketed for moment in any
mention of politics aud art, and struggling
industries were relegated to remote sub
uTbs by the operation of that portion of the
common law that defined nuisances. Our
muaeyed classes did their shopping III other
cities. and those who could not afford TO do
so were compelled to pay exorbitandy
for their necesSarieS.
Bat gradually some merchants, more dar-
ing than others. hranChed out on a compara-
lively large scale, and by judicious use of
the columns of local newspapers began 10
convince the people that they could save
their railroad fares and hotel bills and get
as desirable goods for their money here as
they could else where. Their success caused
other merchants to settle in Washington,
and many young and brainy men ceased
drawing salaries so that they might pay
them in stores OF their own.
As a result of all this, no resident Of
Washington need now go elsewhere for
anything he or she may want in the shop
ping line Some still do it, of course, be-
cause they think it fashionable, but there
can be little qualification in satisfying
ones fashionable predictions at the I'M
necessary expense OF ones pocketbook.
These people, however, are few and far
between.
When our merchants learned that the
purchase of advertising space. like the
purchase OF diamonds; required the serv-
ices of an expert, they added advertising
departments to their stores with intelii-
geut men at their heads. until now nearly
every merchant has his announcements pre-
pared by some one or the gentlemen who
form the Ad. Writers Association. They
are, as it were, a corps OF the heraids OF
trade-the masters of ceremonies who in-
troduce their employers merchandise TO
possible customers; and every good busi-
ness man knows that good Introduction is
half the battle. They have not only an ex-
pert knowledge OF the business with which
they deal, but correct idea of the art
of Typographical display aud the literary
training that gives polish to their work.
THESE All. writers are not uumiTdtul OF
that well-turued sentence, attributed to
Hugh j. Grant: IF l had all the money
that / have paid for advertising, l SHOULD
be well to-do; but having spent it, am
rich" To sum up, they have a three
fold chara eter-their work conduces to their
employers prosperity; they make news
papers attractive, aud they Serve the pub
lie by minimizing the risk and tedium of
shopping And there is fourth, for they

Building-W hat It Has Done.

Tho Ad. Writer'S Club, prosperous or

Judson, and H. Z. Galleber
Mr. Thomas Wilkinson added to his repu-
tation as an entertainer by several racy
songs, which brought out the good voices
of the club and guests in the ringing
choruses. He also told several humorous
stories, and this drew forth several other
racontours, including Messrs. S. J. King,
G. Lansburgh, and NJ. Dyrenforth.
Mr. G.. Lansburgh also entertained the
company with some interesting and laugh
able anecdotes, illustrating the vicissitudes
OF his early business career. Other
speeches were made by s.. j. King and
Frank Couger, aud Mr.. L. Abrahams added
to the merriment by some ideas new aud
old on curious methods in advertising.
The rooms Are situated on the second
floor of The Times building, aud cum
nd a splendid view OF tile avenue They
have been beautifully furnished, and contain
every facility that goes TO make a perfect
moderu club.
Tie names OF the members of this asso-
