Count Rocco Dianovich. as he styles him.
self to be, arrived in Washington today
The count proudly states that he is a native
of Austria. and that in 1863, at the age of
thirteen years. he started out on a trip
around the world, his object being TO study
the penal Institutions and conditions of the
people of the several countries. He eX-
plains that in order to study the prisons
he has himself arrested for some trifiing Of
fense, and then, after remaining in durance
for a few days, pays his fine and is re-
leased. He thinks that in the prisons of
England the inmates more harshly
treated than in any other country not even
excepting Russia. He has had himself
placed for short periods in insane asylums
of many of the countries he has visited
for the purpose of studying the treatment
of the insane.

District Men for District Offices.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

In your issue of the 2sth instant you re-
fer at length to probable judicial vacancies
on the bench of the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia, and associate the
name of Mr.. Clabaugh, attorney general of
Maryland, with the filling of one of such
ure of any acquaintance with the gentle
man, but will assume that he is worthy of
the position. The question then occurs
Is there no one at the local bar who is
capable of administering this office? Is 1t
not about time that We establish and assert
the principle, local men for local offices"
Justice Cox of our court at the request and
expense of the Bar Association and board
of trade, has compiled Il system of jurS-
prudence to be transformed into a code
Let him be asked by the Bar Association
and board of trade to amend the pro-
posed code as to annex citizenship and
residence qualification to every office in the
District from the justices of the Court Of
Appeals down to the recorder of deeds, reg
lister Of wills, justices of the peace, etc.
Abundant precedents for this will be found
by reference to section S12, Revised Statutes
District of Columbia; clause 3. section 9,
section 3, act of June TO- 1878 chapter 215;
clause . section g. act of June IL, 1878,
chapter $50. etc.
1t is about time TO call halt to the prac-
tice of giving our choicest positions to i'm
ported politicians. There is now an excel
lent opportunity TO effect this end, first, by
reason of the new code, and, second, by the
proximity of the session of Congress.

APPROVE RECOMMENDATIO
Private Coulter of Fire Department
Given u Warning.

In the case of Private w. T. Coulter of
No. 3 engine company, District fire de-
partments recently found guilty of disobe
dience of orders, the District Commission
crs have approved the recommendation of
Chief Paris that Coulter be warned that
unless he is hereafter more attentive to his
duties serious results Will follow. At the
recent fire at the Center market Coulter
1t IS alleged, was directed by Foreman Rob
ertsOn of the company to take a certain
plug, but took another, and delay of ff-
teen minutes resulted. The accused man
claimed that he misunderstood the fore
mans orders, and in his Endorsement
upon the findings in the case Chief Paris
said: Although this private has been found
guilty, | am of the opinion that the fault
was partially the foremans, as it certainly
was a part of his duty to know that his
order was understood before leaving the
hose carriage. l would therefore recon-
mcrd that Foreman Robertson he notified
that he must be more particular in the fu-
ture in his manner of giving orders"
