WASHINGTON, D. c., October 14.-The
republican citizens of this District arc
exhibiting decided displeasure with the
program Of the party leaders, which is be-
lieved to have the active sympathy OF the
President, in the matter of selecting Off
GERS for this city and District. A practice
has grown up Of late years, which has
been followed by both parties, Of importing
citizens from the states to fill the local
offices. This city is practically under the
domination of the President and Congress.
The people have not the right of the
elective franchise. and all their officers
are selected by the President. This is true
not only of such offices the post office,
collector Of customs. and similar federal
offices, but the distinctively local places
like Commissioners, who are clothed with
executive power SO far as that applies to
the collection of taxes, police regulations,
etc. Collector of taxes, recorder Of deeds,
register Of wills and District attorney are
also selected by the President. The re-
corder and register are compensated by
fees and these are paid by the citizens Of
the District having business with those
two offices, and there are very special rea-
sons. therefore, why they should be flied
by residents OF Washington.
The present recorder of deeds was brought
from North Carolina by President Mckin-
ley, and his predecessor was brought from
Kansas City by President Cleveland. An
Ohio man was recently appointed sealer Of
missioners, and it Is understood that this
was done upon intimation from the
White House. 1t has been announced that
upon the expiration OF the four years
tenure of the present marshal, who is a
bona fide resident Of This CITY, William NJ
Hahn of Ohio will be made his successor.
Hahn was insurance commissioner of Ohio
under Governor Mckinley. was chairman
of the republican state committee when
Mckinley was first a candidate for gov
ernor, and has been a persistent partisan
of the President. If appointed, Hahn will
be given the Office Of marshal of this Dis
trict because Of his services to the Presi-
dent in Ohio.
1t is also reported that an Ohio man IL
being strongly urged for appointment as
district attorney, an office which unques-
ticnably should be filed by member of
the local bar, acquainted with the laws of
the district, familiar with the practice Of
the courts, and who IL well known to the
bench, the bar and the people. For the
office of postmaster, which is now held by
an old citizen of Washington, there are
candidates from Michigan and other states
The national conventions Of both great DO
Htical parties have declared for home rule

the interests of the people Of Washington
and desire to secure the best admins

President to select bona fide residents Of
the District to fill the home Offices

All the Worlds ,
InSE1rutiOn.


Sing hey to this wonderful era we see;
When life is as rapid as rapid can be.
The sun seems to rise with a clatter and
bang,
And you're not understood If you do not
use slang.
Your old-fashioned ways to the winds you
may fling,
The phrase of the present is ANY Old
Thing
Would you scale to the heights that are
sacred to fame
What field will you choose in securing a
name?
Are pictures or music, or letters your
dream?
Do not waste your good time in selecting
theme.
The clew is before you. so grasp it and
cling
There's no better topic than ANY Old
! Thing"
But do not forget, when you've chosen
your way,
That misfortune awaits you if elsewhere
you stray.
That whatever your mission, your life will
go well,
If in this thing alone you can claim to
excel.
&c. who shall be deaf to the song that hope
sings.
When life is so lavish with ANY Old
Things?"
