Local Men for Local Omces.

Next Tuesday evening the board OF trade
viii hold a meeting at which one of the
topics fer consideration will be the question
of the observance of the home rule prin-
ciple in filing the local Offices. On this
question there is no division of opinion
and II is. therefore easy to foresee the
nature of the action probably to be taken
Tuesday night. There should he no dispo-
sition to assume that the incoming ad-
ministrat!on has any other idea han to
give full force to the plank IN the ST Louis
platform, which declares for home rule in
the territories. under which head the Dis
trict is for convention purposes classified.
Actitn based on any such assumption
would be il-advised. The numerous an
nouncements of the selection of this man
and that from the outside to fill District
offices may De mere unfounded rumors Set
going by the hungry horde of spoiis seek
ers. MIR. Mckinley has lived in Washing
ton and doubtless has observed the i'll eff
fects of the Importation of men from the
states TO perform local duties-the public
dissatisfaction. the lack of harmony be-
tween thu citizens and the incumbents. the
feeling of more or less pronounced hostility
to the administration for disregarding the
principles of home government by home
men.
The civil commfssionershipS arc protected
Icy a statute requiring incumbeEts to have
been bona fde residents of the city for at
least three years prior TO appointment, but
the law has placed no such barrier between
the citizens of other states and such offices
as the District attorHeyship. the marshal
ship. the offices of recorder of deeds and
register Of wills and all the other places of
trust and emolument down TO the dog
catcher and the inspectors of garbage. But
public sentiment stands firm, backed by the
plain obligations arising from the pro-
visions OF the St Louis platform and by
every consideration of equity and common
sense. #..

The Potomac Gume Fish.

preservation OF the game fish of the Po;o-

its efforts a bill has just been passed
through the legislature of West Virginia
which establishes a closed season from
April 10 TO June in each year. In order to
cover the spawning period of the bass and
other denizens of the water that are highly
priced by anglers for their pugnacicus
qualities and by epicures for their fine
flavor 1t also prohibits the use of nets
traps. set lines and other means of whole
sale slaughter and places a strong legal
barrier between the fish and the unscrupu-
lous professional anglers who seek large
;eturns from their efforts without counting
the ultimate cost in the depopulation of the
river. The bill just passed is the more
important since il has already become q

the entire territory through winch the

society recognized by the newspapers con-
ssts merely of a few people, who, having
more money than the rest of the world,
are able to make themselves more con-

herself by contact with such society, but

Never" was the answer; although
we live within few blocks of each other.
The fact is that no one really visits ones
friends any more. If you happen to be on
the s;Sale boards of direction of different
charities, or if your children are in the
same classes, you see the same people
constantly, but if any change of plans
takes you into a different set of occupa
tons you might as well live on a different
planet as in New York for all you would
see of your most intimate friends. The
fact of the matter is, that no one has time
for friendships nowadays; II is fast be-
coming obsolete; life is too full and self
centered for such a mild, old-fashioned
sentiment. You have companions, and, in
a way intimates but not really friends,
not what used to be understood by the
term. Latter-day friendships are like
