THE sECRETARY's REPORT.

THE SECRETARY'S REPORT.
The report of the secretary of the
treasury shows the following results
of collection in the thirty-two Gus
toms districts during the past fiscal
year: Receipts, $61, 115.74; expen-
ses, $115, 27L57.
These figures are most eloquent,
and show more plainly than any
words could do, that these offices
are kept up merely to ensure politi
cal agencies for the administration
''There are twenty-five ports of en-
try" says Mr.. Folger, "where not a
dollar for duties has been collected
for years In plain words this re-
port shows that, under pretense of
filing the treasury, the republicans
have, for years, kept up a system
which has cost the country three
dollars for every one dollar collected.
To ensure places for deserving
politicians they have supported
thirty-two offices with their costly
furniture of clerks and stationery
for reports, ETC.; then somebody in
Washington must draw good pay to
read the reports on nothing, and the
people must pay the bill. How
long shall this continue? Are the
people only set of geese to submit
patiently to such continued pluck
ing
Maine has one-fourth of these
officers. 1t is no wonder Blaine is
solid when he is sustained by the
administration.
The custom house at st. Angus
tine pays annually $132.55 at a cost
of $2,928.51. These facts have
have been frequently brought to the
attention of congress, but the re-
publican majority has always re-
fused to take away such power from
the party. These officers, thus a
useless expense, are duplicated at
every little port in Europe, Japan or
China, and the people pay party
debts without demur or protest.
The office-holders are rapidly be-
coming the people. Each congress
man must have a secretary to re-
lieve his lordly soul of work; this
precedent, in its logical conclusion,
would give to each office-holder a
clerk paid by the people; if the vo-
ters can relieve their servants of
work, the sovereigns of course must
do nothing, and we shall have each
one of the people furnished with
clerk, or Plowman, or apprentice at
the public cost. Congress is now
confesSedly unable to do the work
laid before it. There is but one
way, leave the state affairs to states;
county legislation, as far as possible,
to counties. Let congress deal only
with national questions. So shall
we be rid of the lobby; SO shall the
calendar be cleared of a thousand
private bills; so shall monopolv lose
Its grip on the throat of the nation.
Then let the necessary national
revenue be raised by direct taxation;
so shall we hold our officers to strict
account; so shall each tax payer
know exactly the amount of his
payment for general purposes; so
shall the servant be accountable in
deed and fact to his employer.

PUTNAM COUNTY's MIDDLE.
This from the Gainesville Bee:

This from the Gainesville Bee:
Several of the Putnam county Off
cials have got into a snarl which is shared
by a few members of the bar. 1t seems
that the county judge instructed the
sheriff to serve certain writs and the lat
ter refusing, on the ground, we I'M
derstand. that his fees were not
paid in advance, was fined for con-
tempt of court But the sheriff treated
the court with still further contempt by
refusing to pay the fine.
sfHere the matter rested until the coun-
ty judge applied to Judge King to APP
point an elisor for his court. This the
Judge Of the circuit court refused to do,
on the grounds, we presume, that he
had no authority to provide elisOrs eX-
cept in special cases, such, for instance,
as the inability of the sheriff, either
from a personal interest in the cause at
issue, absence from home, or sickness.
The proposition for circuit judge to APP
point an elisOr. to serve in all cases be
fore the county court, IS so absurd that
one need not be deep learned in the law
! to see its fallacy. The fact is, we believe
| certain citizens of Putnam county desire
! the removal of their sheriff, but from
/ this distance it looks as though they will
have to make other complaints against
him than his refusal to serve papers with
out pay
The above statement OF the Gaines
vile Bee is so utterly contrary to
the true facts of the case, and the
editor speaks with such an air of
authority, that we are constrained
again to make a statement which
we commend to his attention.
The sheriff never gave any ground
for his refusal to make service, but
declared it was not for lack of ten
der of his fee.
The sheriff did not let the matter
rest here, but employed an attorney,
Irving ellis, Esq, to represent him.
Mr.. ellis investigated the matter,
and refused to represent him. That
official then came into open court
and told the magistrate to ''fne and
be damned"
The magistrate then wrote to
Judge King, citing section 10, page
339 and asked that an elisor be APP
pointed to execute the orders OF
said court, in the specific case of the
State VS.. the sheriff of Putnam
county.
Judge King never refused the APP
plication, as the Bee says he was
compelled by the law to do, but
wrote the following on postal card
III answer:
yours received asking for the ap
pOintment of an elisor Let the clerk OF
the circuit court write to me at OcaIa
for which I leave to-day suggesting {
suitable person for elisor.
Respectfully,

Gainesville, Oct. 12, 1884"
AS this letter had no official sig
nature, and the clerk of the circuit
court had no jurisdiction in the mat
ter, it was not officially presented to
him. If the Gainesville Bee would
keep up with the current of public
events, it would know that many
and serious charges additional have
been made against the sheriff, even
in the Times-Union, which is most
widely circulated in the state, and
which the Bee ought to get some
honey from, and if it did not take
occasion from ''long distance" to
criticise the motives of citizens
when it knows none of the facts in
the case, it might make fewer mis-
takes as to the actual and public oc-
currences fully discussed in the
press at the distance of only fifty
miles.
Judge King thought, evidently, he
hadpower to appoint an elisor, or he
would not have written the above
carda the sheriff never pleaded want
of pay, for his fees were rendered
him in advance; the elisor applied
for was not expected to serve in
more than one case before the
county court, and that case specif-
cally mentioned, and the Bee ex-
pounds a legal proposition wherein
Judge King takes positive ground
on the other side
Is our gallant exchange satisfied?
If he will claim to speak in behalf
of the sheriff or any other party in
terested, he shall have all the facts
the truth, the whole truth and moth
ing but the truth, as we, not sat
distance" conceive it to be.

IHE SUN
NEW YORK, 1884.

About sixty million copies of THE SUN have
gone out of our establishment during the past
twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the col
umns of all THE sun printed aud sold last year
you would get a continuous strip of interesting
information, common sense wisdom. sound
doctrine, and sane wit long enough to reach
from Printing House square to the top of
Mount COpernicus in the moon. then back TO
Printing House square, and then three-quar-
tiers of the way back to the moon again.
But The sun Is written for the inhabitants
of the earth; this same strip of intelligence
would girdle the globe twenty-seyeu or
twenty-eight times.
If every buyer of copy of THE sun during
the past year has spent only one hour over il,
and if his wife or his grandfather has spent
another hour, this newspaper in 1883 has af-
forded the human race thirteen thousand years
of steady reading, night and day.
1t is only by little calculations like these that
you can form any idea of the circulation of the
most popular of American newspapers, or of
its influence on the opinions and actions of
American men and women.
THE SUN is. and will continue TO be. g news
paper which tells the truth without fear of
ter how much the process costs, which presents
the news ali over the world without waste of
words and in the most readable shape. which

interesting year in its history. If You do not
