John j. McPhiIlips.

The death of John J. McPhillips is
a very sad event. He was a young
man with a young wife and family of
small children. He was naturally of
an amiable disposition and good i'm
pulses and he had many warm per-
sonal friends, who are deeply afflicted
at his loss.
1t would be ~ungenerous to make
allusion to the faults of his public
career, were it not to point out the
explanation and apology for them.
He accepted the Office of Sheriff I'M
der conditions which made a satisfac-
tory discharge of his duty morally i'm
possible. He must not be wholly
blamed for this. The temptation
was very great. He was a poor man
-honorably poor, and the prospect
of making a provision for his family
out of the half of the Sheriffs fees,
which the vile grasping wretch, who
was the curse of his life, consented to
allow him to retain, was more than
he could be expected to resist.
As Sheriff, he never was a free
agent. The drunken and incompetent
ruffans who disgraced his office were
not his choice, but those of the man
to whom he had bound himself. Many
of his actions were dictated by that
same man. Thus enjoying only a
moiety of the profits and a 1.-THE of
the power of the high office to which
he was elected, it is not wonderful
that he failed to please the lawyers
and the courts and the public, that
placed their business in his hands.
We repeat it was only in a small
degree his fault. Let us place the
blame for the shortcomings of the
past two years where they belong
upon the shoulders of the fell mis-
creant who has degraded and abused
so many men and so many things in
the politics of Hudson County.

Shall Robert Davis Be Sheriff?

the politics of Hudson County.
Shall Robert Davis Be Sheriff?
Before the breath was out of John
j.. McPhillips' body. a most extraor-
binary movement was started-in the
interest of reform, we suppose.
1t was gravelY proposed that Gov
ernor Albeit should appoint His ex-
Honor, Jailer Davis. Sheriff, to fill the
unexpired term Surely a stranger
suggestion was never preached. Let
US disregard the legal factors in the
case, the Constitutional disability of
an ex-Sherif to serve during the legal
term succeeding his own. the disabil-
ity OF a Sheriff to hold such another
office as Mr.. Davis now enjoys. just
let us consider the situation as a mat
ter of public decency.
Robert Davis is now under bail to
answer four charges of conspiracy and
subornation of perjury for acts COM
mitted, or alleged to have been COM
mitted for the purpose of defeating
processes in the hands of the Sheriff
of Hudson County. He is accused of
conspiring and combining with a
number of convicts to upset and de-
stroy the judgments of the Courts of
this State and County. Can any man
in his senses, propose that, under
such conditions, he should be himself
mazda Shnf.iff aud tho fnCfr1UNanf
and agent of these very same courts?
We will grant that Mr.. Davis is a
white-washed angel of innocence. He
is fairly clamoring, we all observe, for
a trial, so that he can clear his char
acter and reputation from these
charges.
But the indictments are there all
the same. They are still untried.
To sweeten the pill, the proposer of
this strange insult to the public and
the Courts suggests that Mr.. Davis
will give the fees of the Sheriff's Office
to the widow of John j. McPhillips.
We may well ask whether he would
give her all or half. continuing to give
Che other half to the constituencies
scoundrel who now receives them?
If Mr.. Davis wants to help Mrs.
McPhilliDs, how would it be for him
to induce that rascal to ~disgorge? He
a do it.

The New York Commercial Bulletin
says that the coming year will be memoir
able for the magnitude of the debts paid
off in this country. Big crops and fair
prices tor most OF our farm products, and
an unusual foreign demand. will give our
farmers more money than they ever
handled before.
Most of the money realized from the
sale of products will be utilized in paving
off old debts. The mortgage burdened
agriculturists Of the West will send mill
ions of dollars to their eastern creditors.
In the South, too, the farmers will be
settling their debts, but their forced econ

easier for them to get rid OF their burden.
