The District Postmaster.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:


AS a longtime resident and taxpayer Of
the District 1 cordially indorse The Stars
contention that the position of postmaster
should be filled by a resident of the Dis
trict; and If the two political parties lived
up to the declarations of their national
platforms no only that but all other Dis
trict offices would be filled by District men,
as they should be.
Nearly every national platform of both
the republican and democratic parties since
1884 has contained a resolution favoring
"home rule" and the appointment of all
the officials in the territories from bona fide
residents Of the territories.
This has always been understood to in
clude the District, and to prevent any mis-
apprehension on that point the democratic
platforms of 1892 and 1895 both contained
these words:
I'VE hold that the officials appointed to
administer the government of any territory,
together with the District of Columbia and
Alaska. should be bona flde residents of the
territory or district in which their duties
are to be performed. The democratic party
believes in home rule and the control of

PREPARING TO PROTEST.
Oyster Dredgers Oppose Change in Bay
1or SURVEY,

The oyster dredgers in the Virginia coun-
ties bordering on the Potomac are prepar-
ing to make a vigorous protest before the
Virginia state Legislature against the
breaking of the Baylor survey and the
leasing of the oyster lands, now open to
the public. to private parties to be seeded
and planted with oysters.
The Baylor survey marks out what are
known as the natural oyster rocks ana
shoals of Virginia, wherein any one may
dredge oysters II season by paying the tax
required. The dredger is required under
the law to throw back into the water all
small or seed oysters, in order that the beds
may not be depleted The failure on the
part Of the oystermen to do this has caused
many Of the beds to become barren. though
the oystermen claim IL they IRE let alone
they will seed themselves in two years and
three years from now large oysters will be
found on what is now barren ground.
The committee appointed by the last ses-
sion of the Virginia legislature have inves-
tigated the question, and in their report to
the legislature state that there are 225, 900
acres of oyster bottoms within the Baylor
survey three-fourths of which are barren.
1t is claimed that with judicious handling
the barren field can be again made produc-
tive.
The report recommends the appointment
Of a commission to lease out such barren
anu eAHduSteu DottOmS cltlZenS OF the
state and that the commission be given suf-
ficient power and discretion in making such
leases as will enable them to deal fairly as
between the large and the small planters,
as well as to advance the best interests of
the state
A hearing of the matter will come I'D
next week. and strong delegation OF
oystermen will go to Richmond to look
after their interests and prevent. if pos
sible, the adoption of the committees re-
port. Almost to a man the delegates from
the tidewater section of the state are op-
posed to the breaking of the Baylor survey.
while the members from the inland sections
of the state, who are in the majority, favor

their own affairs by the people of the vicin-
age.
Neither party has lived up to its pledge
In this respect Cleveland appointed a me-
gro from the south as recorder of deeds then
by far the most profita BILE office in the Dis
trict, and the republican administrations
have not only done the same but have ap-
pointed outsiders to numerous other offices
as. for instance. the marshal for the Dis
trict, the superintendent of charities the
sealer of weights and measures and the su-
perintendent of insurance, that | now recall
besides the postmaster. Why is this?
Surely, no one will pretend for moment
that the District does not contain plenty OF
men fully competent to fill these positions
and who pay both local and national taxes.
and have helped to build up the city and
District by investing their means in i'm
provements. Why then are not some of
them appointed instead of strangers from
distant states. who know nothing of District
affairs, and some, if not all of whom, con-
tribute nothing to the revenues of the Dis
trict?
If the object Is to reward men for political
services, the President can find among the
residents Of the District men who on that
basis are far more entitled to appointment
than these outsiders-men who have been
active, strenuous republicans from the day
the party was organized in 1856. and that,
too, at a time and in localities where il
was dangerous to be a republican. some Of
whom sacrificed their all for the cause. and
who have never faItered in their support
OF the party and its principles from that
day to this, now almost fifty years.
Why, l ask, should not such men be APP
pointed instead of outsiders. some at least
of whom have never rendered any such
service and have no interest in the District.
and contribute nothing to its welfare. mere
ly drawing their salaries here to be spent
elsewhere when their terms expire.
If the President can find the time, with
his multiplicity of duties to fairly consiuer
these matters / cannot believe that he will
continue this practice.
