AN INVESTIGATION NEEDED.

In view of the general impression that
the books of Recorder Taylor have not
been properly kept, and of the question
involved concerning the validity of such
titles TO property as may have been re
corded during his incnmbency, some effort
should be made TO clear up the matter by
an Investigation. Last week Recorder
Taylor boasted 10 a Times reporter that
he was willing TO resign provided certain
title experts did not pronounce the work
of his office satisfactory. If he is in
earnest, let the examination be made with
out delay and the question definitely set
tied.
1t mrst be admitted that this commu-
nifty, generally speaking, has no love for
Recorder Taylor. he came here as a
carpetbag politician and was appointed
contrary TO the alleged home rule policy
of the administration and in opposition to
the protest of the press and the public.
But he is a favorite Of the President,
and no matter how unfit or unworthy,
must be endured unless removed by death
OF his voluntary act.
II would be better that the experts be
selected by a committee from the District
Bar Association, and if Recorder Taylor
really means business let him SO make
the proposition and submit his books TO
an examination. 1t is but just to the
property y-owners OF the District

rHEY MEAS RUsINEss.

As was generally expected, the Board
of Trade has taken up the question of
driving out the gamblers and thugs that
infest the other side of the river in vigor-
Gus, business-like manner, and good results
are sure TO follow. In our news columns
win be found an interesting communica-
tion concerning the jurisdiction Of Alex
ander Island. and also an account of the
first visit of a delegation of prominent
citizens to st. Asaph.
The question of the jurisdiction of the
District over Alexander Island has rot
been pushed as vigorously as circumstances
demand. 1t was long since decided by the
District Attorney and othergood authorities
that the disputed territory belongs to the
District, and the matter should have been
brought before the Supreme Court months
ago so that a decision might be reached
without delay.
If Alexander Island belongs to the Dis
trict, the gamblers stronghold at that
place can be closed and its followers set
adrift without waiting for reform earth
quake to reyolutionize public sentiment
in Alexandria county and place honest
officials in power. The outlaw track on
Alexander Island i 5 operated under a
grange charter, and if it should be closed
il is hardly likely that another track could
be successfully conducted in different
locality, especially under that charter.
For that reason the sooner the question OF
Jurisdiction is decided the quicker Wash
ington viii be rid of that den of outlaws.
The board of trade meeting tonight
viii be open to the public, and its impor'
tanee should command a large attend
ance. Every person interested in freeing
this community from a large following OF
gamblers, confidence men, burglars and
IaBbreakcrs should give aid and influ-
ence TO the organization that has taker
up this question. 1t is for the good OF
Washington.

Escaped lunatics are getting TO be quite
too numerous Tor comfort in this vicinity.
AT more or less regular and brief intervals
the community is informed that some one
OF the male or female Inmates OF st. Eliza
beth's has cot away from the keepers and
is roaming at large Within the past four
or five weeks there have been as many
is at fault Either the management is de-
ficient, or the keepers are culpably care
less aud negligent.
Apart from the feeling of insecurity
among The people of this vicinity, occa-
stoned by the knowledge that poor de-
meated creatures, who may do harm to per-
son or property, ale running loose, there
is the apprehension, amounting 10 almost
certainty, that they viii 60 themselves
harm, II not anybody else. When one
considers that the misfortune of insanity
may come when and where il is least ex
pected, il viii be seen that every family
has an interest in having proper watch
kept over the unfortunates who must be
committed to the tender mercies Of
hospital for the INSANE.
1t may not be possible to lake absolutely
perfect precautions against the Well
known cunning of a majority of deInented
persons, but such watchulness OUGHT to
be exercised as to reduce ,t. Feasibility
OF escape from an asylum to he minimum.
Especially should this be he ease in an
institution like ST. Elizabeth's, which is
a government establishment, amply pro-
vided with funds, presumably supplied
with keepers in pretty n"aIly exact pro-
portion 10 the number of lis rInates, and
also with the customary safeguards for
keeping the patients out nf harms way.

A GOOD WORK REGuN.

The action of the authorities in notify
Ing unmarried couples who are living to-
gether out of wedlock that they are liable
TO prosecution under the Edmunds act, has
created a healthy CONSERVATION among such
offenders. Some have been arrested,
Others are arranging for marriage, and it
now looks as If the work of The Times in
agitating this subject was about to briug
good results.
Men ana women who can live together
In peace unlawfuIly are qualified to enjoy
great happiness in welded life. II they
can live together at all out of wedlock their
circumstances aud opportunities for con-
tentmeut would be much improved in the
relation of man and wife. Consequently
it is no hardship TO compel them TO obey
the law, or separate and live apart.
This question is of great Importance to
Washington. Unrestr Icted immortality
Is a breeder Of vice, and If allowed TO go
unnotioed viii increase immortality to a
frightfnl extent. The first and greatest
step toward uprooting public abuses is to
make offenders understand that they must
obey ths law.

Mrs Mary C.. Morris, of No. 3514 Pros
pect street, Georgetown, yesterday came
before Judge Cox in an effort to protect
her home from being shattered and rendered
useless by the blasting in progress IN
preparing to lay the foundation of the new
Union Passenger station of the Washington
and Georgetown Railroad, at Thirty
sixth and If streets northwest.
The hearing was begun by Attorney Sands
for Mrs. Morris reading affidayits show
ing a record of explosions and the effect
upon the premises. MIS-. Norris herself
told of the shaking of the house and Of the
accident by which man was killed near
the house.
Lizzie Smith, a tenant; Lucinda Johnson,
a servant; Oliver P. johnson, a notary
pulic, and Thaddeus de Lyon, Mrs. Nor
ris coachmau, testified as to the effect
the blasting had upon the house.
r. w. Darby, John laTfin, Adolph Butst-
and others, architects ard engineers, in
affidavits gave opinions that the ouse
had been injured badly and Mr.. Darby
stated that the rear building would need
to be strengthened.
Attorney Webb, Tor Mr. Carver, denied

by Mr.. Carver'S work. He said also that
any damages could be collected at law
from the load or from Mr. Carver, and
indicated that the blasting done by Man
ming & PaEonS, contractors for wall, Z,
was responsible for any injuries.

SUSTAINING THE INCOME TAX
This, 1t is Thought, the Supreme
Court Decision Will Be.
Justice Harlan to Write the Opinion,
Which Is to BE Delivered Next
Monday Adjourn Week Later.

1t is learned definitely that conclusion
OF the Supreme Court, and that it is con-
fidently expected 20 have the opinion in
the case ready f1rannouncement next Mon
day. No anthoHtative statementnsto what
the decision Will De can be secured, OF
course, but all that can be learned goes to
corroborate the previous impression that
the indications favor the upholding of the
law on the points that remain.
A member of the court is responsible for
the statement that there will probably be
two opinions, and while he did not go to
the extent OF indicating on which side the
majority opinion would be, he said that a
member OF the majority would write the
opinion on that side, which would be the
opinion of the court, while some member
of the minority would express the opinion
on the other side, and there would prob
ably be no independent individual opinions
as before.
The present intention is to make the opin-
ions comparatively brief They will cover
only the questions left undecided in the
first decision, as TO whether the void pro-
visions cover the whole act, whether the
act, as il affects incomes from personal
property, as such, is unconstitutional, be-
cause 1t provides for direct taxation of
them, and whether the tax is Invalid Gu ac-
count OF want of uniformity.
These points were dwelt upon at length
in former opinions, on the ore side by the
opinion OF Justice White and on the other
by that OF Justice Field. Hence there will
be no necessity for elaborate treatises.
The understanding now is that Justice
Harlan VIII pIeIaTe the majority opinion
sustaining the law.
The court at the same tIEe VIII render
opinions in a large number OF other cases
which have been argued. Adjournment
for the summer viii not be reached how
ever, until the following Monday, the 27th
instant.
Senator voorhees, expressed the opinion
yesterday that the law as it staIds, with
out taxing rents and public bonds, would,
when il is in complete operation, bring
in a revenue OF $40 600 600.

II is the fact that this country Ini-iftains
q policy OF gold redemption That gives both
our silver aud currency lhe purchasing
power OF gold. Were this policy reversed
and silver Instead OF gold used la redeem
legal tender and Treasury notes the coun-
try would go TO a silver basis. and our
money would be deprived Of its present
purchasing power of gold, for the reason
thai gold being the most valuable as a COM
nIohity. would 90 10 a premium and not
b. available IS a circulating medium.
In this connection il should be understood
THAI gold does not freely circulate now as
MONEY because OF its speculative value,
and for The reason that the bulk of our
MONEY is u national bank .lot-.s. egal ten
Ger Treasury notes, silver aud silver GER
uneaies; but as every dollar nf this sill
Yer and currency is Tedeemable either di-
rectly or indirectly in gold Tire Intrinsic
value OF this money is estimated accord
ingly.
AT present this country is on gold basis.
and has only one money standard, and
money values are estimated by the bullion
price gold. Were the Treasury To redeem
its currency in silver the country would so
to a silver basis, and have two money
standards. The gold standard would con-
troll all values come ected with foreign
trade, and the silver standard, with its
deprecated value, would govern in this
country. Mexico is the best Illustration
of this single basis double money stand

Necessarily ', with goldata premium, prices
would be inflated, aud financial affairs
generally would be thoroughly chaken up
II prices could be advanced IN wages, prop
erty and commodities equally, and if foreign
investments would not be withdrawn oil
domestic capital, through fear, be pre-
vented from taking its place, possibly there
might not be so much harm in following
the example OF Mexico and adopting q
silver basis. If this is to be avoided we
must continue to redeem in gold and give
all our money the purchasing power Of
