NEW YORK REAL ESTATE RECORDS.
The Francis bill providing for the appoint
ment by the District Attorney Of a commits
sioner of records in the County OF New York
has passed the Assembly and gone TO the Sen
ate Theoretically il is not perfect measure,
but practically 1t seems the best means OF ae-
complishing an object almost essential for the
protection OF New York real estate interests
The condition Of the real estate records In
New York County has been cause OF just COM
plaint for many years. Many OF the record
books, indexes and maps are in disgracefui
state OF dilapidation. Real estate interests or
many million dollars in value depend upon the
preservation OF these records. The system or
indexing the older records is, moreover. so far
behind the times that searchers Of titles ex-
pend most of their time in labors which would
be unnecessary if this county had a modern
method OF indexing the books and papers relat-
ing to real estate. Some of the old maps OF
large tracts Of land, now of great value, are
almost falling to pieces and, If lost, can never
be replaced.
Means of remedying the present conditions in
the Registers and County Clerks offices have
long been discussed among lawyers and real
estate owners. The county officials having charge
OF the records frequently changed, and they
have other important duties, so that these Off
cials have done nothing 10 relieve the evils of
which complaint is made. The Francis bill pro-
vides for the appointment Of a commissioner OF
records with a term of Office limited to six
years. in which time he is TO perfect the real
estate records of the county under the block
system. The committee on amendment of the
law of the Bar Association, which is conserva-
tive in all its judgments upon such matters, has
approved of the bill the best solution Of the
problem. If IT becomes law and the work is
carried out under the supervision Of compe-
tent and honest commissioner, we believe that
New York real estate interests will be relieved
Of a present evil and Of a still more serious
menace for the future.

A LESSON TO DEMAGOGUEs.

The Hearst idea Of government. which is in
many respects similar TO that which prevailed in
France about 1890 when the exercise of the
right Of petition consisted in moving in a mob
on Versailles or the Tuileries, received a de
served setback yesterday. Five hundred men
and boys. gathered together by the modern i'm
prOvement on the Coxey army method, invaded
the Executive Chamber without notice and de
manded a hearing from the Governor with
whom no appointment had been made The
Governor properly refused TO see them. The
Governor is a public servant but he is not the
Office boy OF every group of persons who pre-
sumo 10 call themselves the public The Gov
ernOT. especially in the closing days of the
session, is extremely busy. Even state officers
who are obliged 10 consult with him in the
transaction OF public business, often find diff
Guilty IN seeing him except by previous appoint
ment Delegations which desire a hearing on
any matter pending before him owe it 10 the
state well 10 him TO ask If he can fix
time for a reception. IL the Governor had been
entirely az leisure and willing 10 waive the dis
courtesy Of a descent by crowd having legit
Innate business with him, be would still have
been more than justified in refusing 20 see the
Hearst mob II had no business with him The
measure which IL favOrs has not passed the
Legislature and IS not before the Governor for
hearings. The attempt 10 overawe him by num-
ters ana the demand that he should give them
lie legislation which they desired invited the
i,'5uEe which bestowed The accounts OF
various independent witnesses agree that the
liaob shouted and cheered i'm the Executive Cham
iei-. and n would probably have insulted the
Governor II he had received il. II gave a sim
Tar exhibition OF bad manners when il was not
admitted 10 the Senate lobby in violation OF the
rules OF that body. It's conduct toward Sena tor
Bracket, when in courtesy be came out into the

basis it's steady growth in power will be as
sured. The r,erey reactionary fetters which Its
enemies have now placed upon it will before
long be broken, and the restrictions which Rus
sian ineXperience in self-gOvernment have made
necessary will in time become unnecessary and
will one by one be discarded. AS for the Czar
himself. the Russian people and the world will
gladly forget the times when he suffered the
Partingtonan Obsession and will acclaim in
his appearance before the Douma in the Tau
ride Palace the worthiest and noblest act thus
far of mis- imperial reign.

now TO HONOR THE BRAVE.

In anticipation of this weeks ceremonies at
Annapolis President Roosevelt evidently be-
came impressed with some of the obligations
which rest on the present generation, and the
convictions which were thus inspired were ut
tered with his characteristic directness and
energy He dwelt first of all on the duty Of
midshipmen to make the most of themselves
for their cOuntrys sake. He then discussed a
feature of a later war than the Revolution
which is commonly overlooked.
During the struggle of 1S12'14 there were
heroic achievements in which Americans may
well feel pride. but the nation was also sub
jected TO a profound and needless humiliation.
An inconsiderable force of the enemy was able
TO invade the capital because there was not an
adequate navy to protect the coast. The Presi-
dent attributes that mortifying and costly ex-
perence to "parsimOny" and "shortsightedness ;"
He pleads, therefore, with those whose official
status enables them to exert any influence In
the matter TO strive 10 avert future disaster
proceeding from the same causes. Heroes can
do little without the necessary ships, and ships
of the most modern design and equipment Here
are truths which the country already begins to
appreciate and which Congress has of late
shown disposition to recognize Nevertheless.
they cannot be reiterated too often. The Presi-
dent has performed service in presenting them
afresh.
Some excellent suggestions were offered by
the President about the true way to honor the
brave 1t is we'll to applaud 5heir deeds but
mistake TO go no further. For a nation to rest
on It's laures is 10 sink into decay. True pa
triOtism lies In vigilant attention to present and
future emergencies. and not in vainglorious re-
Election upon the past. This is bit Of gospel
which is addressed not alone TO the men who
Till administrative and legislative posts In
Washington but to the intelligent masses as
well. To a large extent, If not absolutely. the
measures adopted by the government are die
tated by public sentiment When the voters of
the United States realize that the best homage
20 be paid TO John Paul Jones is the construc-
ton Of a navy worthy of the nation for which
he fought. they can count on having their beliefs
translated into action.
