port of the present system that these public OH =
GERS have heavy responsibilities ana that they
are liable to heavy losses from errors on the
part of their subordinates. The Collector OF
the Port of New-York also has heavy RESPONSE
bilities, and mistakes by his subordinates may
cause heavy losses. But the Federal Govern
meut does not find it necessary, nevertheless, to
make the place worth 5000 year in fees in
order to induce man of the right sort to take
it. 1t would not be difficult so to transform our
present system in the three big bOnanzas OF city
politics that the offices would be better filled
than now, while the fees would be used for the
public benefit and not for the corruption OF

INcRE ASIYG TUE SHERIFFS FEES


Unhappy experience ought to lead the Leg
islature to look with suspicion upon any hill
which Senators Koch and Grady vehemently
champion. When these two representative
Democrats show great anxiety to get measure
passed there is too much reason to fear that IL
covers some partisan or personal job. For In
stance, there is the BILL which the Senate has or
dered to third reading, turning over to the
Sheriff all sales Of real estate now made by ret
erees, except when all the parties to suit
agree upon referee to be appointed 10y the
Court for that purpose. The object Of this pro-
posed law is to Increase the already enormous
and excessive revenue OF the Sherins ONCE.
Whence has come the demand for q change OF
this sort2 What public meetings have been
held to favor it, what weighty memorials
have been sent to Albany in its supports Since
the downfall of the Tweed Ring there has been
no serious complaint Of the referee system so
far as it applies to sales of real estate. That Is
more than can be said Of the Sherffs Office.
The exaction of illegal fees in that office, the
outrages and extortions practised by the pOliti-
cal strikers from whom the body OF deputy
sheriffs is too often recruited, have been de-
nounced repeatedly in recent years. Is even
the administration of that Office has been as
rule SO pure, honorable and economical that It's
mowers and It's income ought to be enlarged
Every lawyer knows, and every defendant in a
litigation who has been unfortunate enough to
fall into the clutches of deputy sheriff knows
too well, that the lot Of the man who went from
Jerusalem to Jericho was happy in comparison
with the fate of him on whom an order of arrest
is served. Why are places in the Sherff's Office
SO eagerly sought by the lowest order OF FAC
ton heelersrl Is it the legitimate gains that
they are after, or is 1t the prospect OF feecing
some rich prisoner by charging him the most
exorbitant sums for triling services and inno-
cent privileges
Offices with immense revenues such MS those
Of our Sheriff, Register and County Clerk, are
always sources Uf corruption and evil In poll
tics and governments. They are such tempt
ing prizes that politicians stick ut moth
ing to get them. From them Is de-
rived great part of the fund which is
used every November in this city In buying
votes. OF course the leaders of the political
factions take no part in this abOmnable traffic,
but who IS 30 innocent as to suppose them igno-
rant of It'll Votes are not now bought and sold
openly at the polls as was the case In Rhode
Island, and In New York as well, dozen ears
ago. But shortly before election sums of money
are distributed among the "workers" in each
ward, and the men who use these sums for the
good of the party are never asked for vouchers
or statements. The enormous assessments
