contest With water routes and any
material increase in the volume OF
business at lower rates would invite
early bankruptcy. The easiest way
out of the dilemma Is for the rail-
roads to encourage direct trading be-
tween consumers of the interior and
producers Of the east without regard
to the rivalry Of routes. Cut
out the short haul within the long
haul and experiment with the system
of doing business with consumers on
a basis that can be established only
by a complete abolition Of lower
prices for the long haul than for the
shorter distance where there is no
benefit derived from water competi-
ton. Jim Hill built up his northern
railroads by making attractive rates
to keep business confined to his lines
and to exclude interference from the
water routes via Tehuantepec or the

still was figuring on linking the At

of water opened through the isthmus.

London, Nov. 20.-Unless the Unit

avert the financial catastrophe ever
drawing nearer, the Sunday Times
declares to-day.
1t regards the disarmament of ar
maments as an accomplished fact,
for which 1t gives credit to the United
States, and says 1t lie hoped that the
Americans will display equal courage
and foresight in coping with the mem
ace Of world finance.
America alone can stabilize credit
BY devising some scheme for financ-
ing the nations lowering on the brink
of Insolvency" 1t says.
mo n imagines Germany is able

arv is. In the event of her failure
to do 80 the difficulties to French f.
nance may prove i~nsuperable, and II
France follows Germany into bank
ruptcy the crash may well bring down
the whole edifce Of European credit.
'In such an event the United States
will suffer incalculable losses. The
only way out is for America to OBJ
serve the precedent set by the Bank
of England when it saved American
credit In a minor crisis by drawing
gold from the world to loan where 1t
was most needed.
America holds the worlds gold
to-day. The time Is short, for should
Germany fail to pay, France may

Czecho- -Slovakia will increase the flood
danger for the Magyar plains. Now the
headwaters of the Rhine and the Rhone
have been under Swiss domination for
centuries, nevertheless Germany and
France have been able to get along
fairly comfortably.
1t seems necessary in view of the
attack on Rumania implied in Count
Teleki's lecture, to restate as briefly as
possible Rumanias case. Americans un-
acquainted with the background of Ru-
manian history may visualize Rumania's
situation by remembering the Italian
struggle for nationhood. Rumania had
one object, and one only. in the late war
achievement OF national unity. The
old kingdom played the part of Pied
mont; Transylvania the Banat; Bess-
arabia, Bucovina correspond to Lom-
hardy, Venetia, Tuscany, Naples. Hun
gary occupied the same position toward
Rumanian aspirations as Austria did
toward Italy. To-day the Italian nation
exhibits noble willingness to aid its
broken and repentant enemy, Austria.
If Hungary exhibited the proper spirit
of reconciliation and progressive work
Rumania would not be less magnani-
nous than her Latin sister in the West.

Good Old Days in Office.
Some Registers Collected Their Fees
and Left Their Work UndOne.

TO THE NEW YORK HERALD: wv. G..
NJ" asks what has become of the alleged
profits OF from $4,000 to 100000 which
the Registers office was supposed to
yield when 1t was fee office.
doubt If any such profits were ever
made, and as no Register has ever told
what the profit if any, was we shall
probably never know the facts. This is
row ancient history, as the office was
put on salary basis in 1887.
The main reason the office was sought
by the politicians was its big patronage.
as none Of the places was under civil
service rules.
If the office did not pay the Register
under the fee system it should have
done so, as the work was neglected
Greadfully and allowed to run behind.
An instrument is officially recorded
when the Registers receipt stamp is
placed on it. but the physical work of
recording. indexing. abstracting, check
ing, &c, has to be done later.
This physical work was neglected un-
der the fee system and deeds. mort
cages, &C., were allowed to pile up in
ZIG INeslSLcT OlIiCe, as anyDouy Knows
who is familiar with the office in years
rast. Papers were not returned to the
owner for many months after their
receipt by the Register. and at one time
the office was over two years behind.
When the office became salaried
one all this back work had to be done al
the expense of the public. although the
fee Registers had received the pay for it.
Under the routine established by me
it takes four days to put an instrument
through the office and Ii IL now returned
to the owner at the end of four days
I have no figures at hand in regard
to the cost Of the Registers office in
Bronx county, but / have 70 doubt the
cost of running the Bronx Office is more
than the New York county saving, con-
sidering overhead duplication and other
expenses.
The mistake was made in forming
Bronx county. The counties should be
abolished. There should be but one
Register for the city. with deputies and
branch offices in each borough. In this
way the work or the different Offices
could be systematized and a great saw
ing effected JOHN ]. HOPPER.
