4 ANY members OF Congress. and es-
IVi pecially some of the Maryland dele
gation, are greatly Interested in
the working of what is called the
lorrens land registration system. This
is one OF Australia's object lessons in re-
form laws and promises to eventually be
generally adopted in this country.
The system was originated by Sir Robert
Torrens, through whose efforts it was put
in force In South Australia. nearly forty
years ago, 1t WAS adopted in England
IN the seventies. and recently In Cook
county, Ill.,. by vote of 50 536 to .219
IL is said iiiat wherever it has been tricd
the people have been well satisfied with it,
The Maryland legislature, which is now
In session. has under consideration a bill
TO adopt this system OF land registration
and II is though; that the bill will BECOME
a law. Under the present system in nearly
al! the States. an examination of title is
necessary every time "A transfer is made.
Under the Torrens' system. an exper; Of
flcial examination of the title il made
once and the certificate of this Tide based
on this examination. Is ali that is neces-
ssry in the transfer. There are, OF course
certain essential legal precautions, but once
the system is established 1t vastly increases
the public convenience and saves heavy and
continuous expense TO the owners OF real
estate.

The Times Timely Police Articles.

The robbery of a Connecticut avenue resi-

nishes but another object lesson empha-
sizing the necessity for increased police
protection. 1t simply illustrates the fact,
so apparent to all but our national legis-
lators, that the Inadequate protection AZ
forded property stimulates criminals 10
increased activity and places premium
upon the commission of similar outrages.
The Evening Times recently printed a
series of maps, showing the boundaries
and extent of each police precinct, and the
number of officers detailed for day and
hight duty. By contrast with other cities
of even quadrupie the population of Wash
rgton, il was shown that the number of
patrolmcn was less than two-thirds OF a
sufficient total equal TO the task of per-
forming the duties imposed upon them.
Major Moore has repeatedly called the
attention OF Congress to the urgent neces-
sity of making an increase OF the police

force commensurate with the growth OF
population and the development OF busi.
hess interests. But either parsirnony OF
conservatism prompted the ignoring OF
these appeals.
A bill is now being prepared for intro
duction into both branches OF Congress,
embodying all the recommendations made
by Major Moore and supplemented by the
suggestions contained in The Times Illus
tratcd articles on the subject. The pro-
posed measure will set forth in unmistak-
able language, and supported by incontro-
vertible proof, the sclf-evidcnt fact that this
city not only needs, but must have, ade-
quate police protection. The constant oc-
currence of robbcries. such as that Of Tues
day night, is in itself a coroboration of
urgency. Failure to protect must neces-
sarily serve as a premium upon the COM
mission of these felonies, and the only
preventive OF their continuance and in
crease lies in such relief as may be az
forded by Congress.

Plea for Pensions.

One of the speakers at the session - the
National Board OF Trade yesterday n,crn-
ing made an impassioned plea in behalf
of the widows of railway mail clerks who
are killed while in the discharge or Iheir
duty. He contended that they ought to he
pensioned as are the widows of 81 iditIs
who die in battle. He was right, too, FOR
the cases are nearly, if not exactly, para llel
While there is no display Of heroism on the
part of the mail clerk who is smashed up
in a railroad wreck, it is none the less a fa Il
that he was there in the discharge G. lis
official duty, and as the government plys
him to work for, and not to die FOR il or
be crippled for Il. his widow ought TO be
provided for OF he himself if he survives
and is incapacitated for further n:inuaI
labor.
The proposition is based upon the plaInest
principles OF equity. The objection that has
been made against it, that railway mail
clerk is paid very much better than a sol
dier. is only partially true, for the soldier
gets besides his wages free quarters, free
rations, and, when in quarters, free fuel.
Against the difference i'll pay which remains

catholic views would not eoufiae itself
to designs modelled upon buildings In this
country alone. but would seek TO embody y
in the plan OF washington's city hall the
best features OF some or the famous struc-
lures of Europe.
In view of this new phase OF the matter
II is hardly worth while to discuss the
cost of the proposed building. II may
be suggested. however. that the commits
sion should have some idea as 10 the ap-
proximate amount which it is proposed
to devote to this purpose. The architec-
tural style would, of course, be different
in one million dollar building from one
to cost twice that sum, and in the bin
creating the commission 1t would be well
not to overlook this point.
The chief consideration, however. is
that a new municipal building for wash
ington is within appreciable nearness, and
that it will not be many years before the
government OF this city will no longer be a
wanderer on the face or the earth, so to
speak, but viii have habitation OF its
own.

COMING TO THE THEATERS.

An Interesting event or next week will

Mr.. Roland Reed, who VIII begin an en-
gagement ut the Lafayette Square Monday
evening. Mr.. Reed has met with phenomenal
success in his latest play, The Politician,
which will constitute the bill. and has been
playing 10 q succession OF Gro wded houses.
The play is an exceedingly clever satire
upon politics and upon the methods or the
practical politician. and as Gen. Josiah
LinIber. the popular actor does the best
work OF his career as Il star. The Politi-
cian' has no particular theme. and there
is in it nc underlined sermon or didactic
purpose; but il is 4 happy combination OF
good natUred satire and Tatiling farce

Miss Isadore Rush. who represents young
woman who has studiedfor the bar, and who
supplements beauty with brains and fin de
steele activity and persistence in the line
OF woman's emancipation" She repre-
scntS herself us a girl bachelor. and TO carry

after these items have been computed and
added to the soldiers actual money wages
must be set the greater intelligence and
education Of the postal clerk and the greater
responsibility laid upon him by his duties.
This, however, is in the nature OF hair
splitting argument and is INTERCEPTED mere
ly to meet quibble. The broad PROPOSE
ton resting upon accepted ideas OF fairness
and Justice remains, that the dependent
family of Il man who dies while performing
his appointed duty in the service of the gov
ernment is entitled to its fostering care, and
in conforming to ii no possible msstep can
be made by the In wmaking body.
1t is not the first time by any means, that
this plea in behalf of the men in the railway
mail service has been advanced. Upon
several occasions bills with that end in view
have been introduced to Congress, but
the bugaboo of a civilpension list has always
stood in the way OF their enac tment into law.
1t does moi, however, require a great deal of
disccrnment to see that there is a wide
difference between a pension for service,
or one for having perished while in the liue
OF duty.
