McSHERRY'S SUCCESSOR.
Speculation in Montgomery County
as to Judgeship.
al Correspondence of The Star

Special Correspondence of The Star
ROCKVILLE. Nd, October 90 1897.
The impression here Is that Gov War
field Will appoint a Montgomery county
man to succeed Judge James McSherry
as chief judge OF the sixth judicial cir
cult, composed of Frederick and Mont
gOmery counties. The belief IS equally
strong that in the event Of the governor
thus hOnoring the county Associate
Judge James B. Henderson will be ele-
waited TO the chief judgeship and Edward
c. Peter viii be named to succeed judge
Henderson as associate judge.
Robert G. Hilton, chair uan OF the
democratic state central committee for
this county. who has within the past
day or two been in conference with Fred
erick county democrats, says there is
very decided sentiment in Frederick
county in favor of Judge Henders1ns 5
selection.
A friend of Gov. Waried has said that
if the appointment goes to Frederick
county John s. Newman stands an ex-
celent chance Of being honored. 1t is
thought, however that inasmuch as the
appointment will not be made until after
the November election it may BE- that If
William p. Maulsby is defeated for state
senator, for which position he is can
didate. the governor, should he decide to
name a Frederick county man, might
turn to him.

Mr. Given was born in the District of
Columbia forty-tWo years ago. and was
educated in the public schools of Wash
ington. He began early in life to earn
his livelihood, and build up a character
for integrity and ability. In 1883 he en-
tered the law office of A s. Worthington
as office boy. A year later when Mr..
Worthington became United States dis
trct attorney, young Given was made his
messenger. Having finally decided on
the law as a profession he commenced
the study Of 1t in 1893. Soon after he
was made clerk in the office of the
district attorney, and subsequently chief
clerk. In l@0J he was appointed assistant
clerk of the Supreme Court of the Dis
trct. In that position he remained untI
1860. Later he became an assistant to
United States District Attorney Baker.

new OFFICE Is PROPOSED
CONGRESSIONAL COMMISSION
FAVORs A DIRECTOR OF POSTS.

The special Congressional commission
appointed to inquire into the business af-
fairs of the Post Office Department has
nearly completed its report, and will rec
ommend some important changes in the
working program of the entire system,
The most important innovation said to be
in contemplation Sy the senators and rep
resentatives who compose the comm s.
sion will be the creation of a director of
posts who shall hold office from admins
his political affiliations.
The rural free delivery system Will not
tie molested. for although it has been
severely criticized as the great extrava-
gance' of the department, 1t, has become
of such benefit to The dWellers'in the cOun-
try districts that 1t cannot be either abOl-
ishad or curtailed without working i'm
measurable hardship to the thousands
who now depend Ipor it for regular COM
munication with the outside world.
The plan to recommend parcels post
system has fallen through and will not be
pressed by the commission So much
pressure was brought to bear by the
business interests of the small towns
the country. who feared a
parcels post system would deliver all
their customers to the department stores
in the cities. that the commission decided
to fight clear of the subject. Sweeping
changes will be made in the systems of
bookkeeping, auditing and disbursing
throughout the various bureaus Other
innovations will be made in the money
order and registry branches of the post
office.
We do not expect that we can
bring perfect business methods into
the department by our report" said
one of the members of the com
mission, but We do hope to be
instrumental in effecting a number of
changes in the business methods that will
result in the saving Of a good many thou
sands of dollars annually. We have spent
many weeks in hearing expert testimony
on the subject and are now summing
up the results in our report which will
be ready about the middle of November
Regarding the proposal to create a di-
rector of posts. we think it a most excel
lent idea The ,dea of the great Post
Office Department, the biggest business
institution~that Uncle Sam controls being
in upheaval and auite demoralized every
time there is a change of administration
is perfectly ridiculous. The post office
ought to have a business head as well as
a political one. a man who knows every
branch of the service and can tell at
once II things go wrong, and has the
knowledge and ability to right them No
one but a thorough business man and one
who has spent many years in the postal
harness can hold down that place salts
factorily. He should be divorced com
pletely from politics and have nothing
on his mind but The smooth operation and
constant improvement of the service.

With the object Of arriving at a solution
Of the pending problem conference Will

more on that rate today than it made on

Gently let out of the bag by statement of
one of the officials. He declared that
they would rather carry small number
of passengers at a high rate than a large
number at low rate. even if more money
could be made on carrying the larger
number. because it involved the ust, of
more rolling stock. Now, from the view
point Of the people that principle is not
satisfactory. We want the, railroad to
serve the people and it surely can serve
them best by carrying d large number at
small rate.
