the present outbreak OF dirhtheria pretty
accurately A case or two appeared in the

low ed to go after 1t, but failed to return.
No marks of violence were found upon

OJrR that The Times has
broached again and
RECORDS In again, not SO much
with reference to the
DANGER. needs of the Federal
as the municipal gov
ernment The neces-
sity is pressing in both cases, but, If any
thing, the District is in much greater need
of safe repository for its records than is
the national government
Secretary Lamont suggests that the new
hall should be a genuinely fireproof build
ing, situated somewhere on the Avenue. so
as to be convenient To both the up to wn and
downtown departments. He points out not
only the necessity Of such a building for
the safety of the records themselves, but as
amatter of economy. The amount of money
now paid by the government in rent for
several buildings, all OF them more or less
old, unsafe and inconvenicpt, is fully equal
to the interest on enough money to build
suitable structure that would serve for all
the scattered departments for many years
to come. 1t would, moreover, be another
step toward the long cherished plan for re-
deeming the south side Of the Avenue by
series OF handsome public buildingsstretch-
ing from the foot of the Capitol to the
Treasury.
The necessity for such hall for the use
of the District is to be measured neither
by its economy in rent nor its addition to
the architecture of the city, but by the
endless expense in litigation and the ir-
remediable confusion that would follow
the destruction of the city land and probate
records. None of these documents are
safely stored at present. 1t is no rerlec-
ton ON the city's fire department to say
that they are open to destruction at any
moment. Even a slight fire among the
land records might convert the whole of
Washington into an immense Blodgett
claim. The mere mention of this legal
bogie man should be Il warning, for its
shadow clouds the title TO some of the
most valuable land in the northwest sec
ton of the city.
In view OF these facts, Secretary La.
mont's suggestion is particularly peril
nent. His hall OF records is a good thing
and ought to be encouraged. If he will
only build it soon enough and make IL large
enough and desirable enough, we might
do him the honor OF using a section OF it
ourselves for the storage OF District rec
ords pending the greatly hoped for time
when the District may have such build
ing of its own.

day to day the ptficials who are con-
nectcd with the two houses Among the
arrivals yesterday was II. W. Layton, Of
Ohio, assistant sergeant-at- arms OF the Sen
ate. Mr.. Layton reports the situation in
Ohio as quieting down. nd says there is a
disposition to let the President-elect take
the rest which he so much needs
The one political topic which still arous-
es interest is the selection OF a Cabinet Of
ficer from Ohio. The Ohio Republicans
believe that one OF the Cabinet officers
should and win come from their State 1t
is the general opinion that the office lies
between Sherman and Hanna, and Ii is
thought that these two men will settle
the matter between them, as they are on
the most amicable terms. Whichever it
should be, says Mr.. Layton. the people
of the State will be well satisfied, as they
have the greatest confidence in the ability
OF both.
With regard to McKinley's policy, 1t Is
said by those very near to the President
elect, that he looks upon the Dingley bill
with disfavor. 1t Is said by these gentle
men that he will call an extra session OF
Congress and insist upon general revision
of the tariff.

pretty well, it is not yet in such state
of fOrwardnesS as TO impress the public
with the Importance of the results accom-
plished. This is due partly TO the great
amount of preliminary labor necessary,
partly TO the insufficiency OF appropria-
| tions in former years. Secretary Lamont
shows that if Congress viii but grant the

on much more expeditiously than is posi-
