worth 5000 annually ID be Dock Commissioner at
5000 a year. Dr. 'umab.y to show that the sa.ary
allowed by the law is not of the slightest impor-
lance to a Tammany onice-hoder. tripped jauntily
into a downtown cafe shortly after yesterday.
Stopping to look al the ticker" he gave his COM
panion playful nudge in the ribs, and them whip
ping of "A piece OF the tape. he handed 1t over.
Evidently the tape bore good news TO "Andy's'
companion. for he stared at 1t In a black way and
muttered something under mis- breath. Then his eye
ran over the rest of the tape and it was his turn
to laugh at the Dock Commissioner. Tearing off
another piece Of the paper ribbon he delivered 1t to
Write with a cynical smile. "Andys" face grew
long. and he also muttered pleasantres about Re
publlcans who break up Tammany snaps"
The two men went into booth and polished off"
two bottles Of champagne. 1t evidently
of driaking to the pubc's health while the pub.lcs
money lasted. for they did 1t in determined "on-
to-Moscow" way. When they left the cafe they
forgot TO take the ticker" tape 1t contained two
bulletins announcing that the Governor had signed
the Sheriff bill and the Dock Department BILL
When a reporter called little later the Dock
DEPARTMENT people. one had anything to say.
Sheriff Sexton did not betray any surprise when
he learned that Governor Flower had signed the
bill making his office salaried one exclusively.
and recurring that all the fees which amount to up
ward of 10000 annually. be turned into the City
Treasury Under the act of 1850 half the fees went
TO the Sheriff and the residue to the city, the Sheriff
receiving besides a salary of $4,000 year Under
the act Just approved the Sherff's salary Is raised
to $4,000 but he gets no fees.
''The bill does not affect me-" said the Sheriff.
''as II does not take effect until my term expires.
on January next. But there Is one thing In which
people are mistaken. 1t Is an ancient theory that
bad times increase the Sheriff's fees That Is not
true so far as New York Is concerned. The fees
of this office for the current year will fall below
any former year since the present law went into
effect Wholesale dealers were never more careful
I'm giving credit, so that the sales small unless
purchasers can give plenty of security. Besides.
the present policy Of creditors Is not to push for
their money. Hard times make business dull In
the Sherlfs office elsewhere"
Mr. Sexton minated that he does not mean to
be candidate for reelection IL he Is eligible,
of which some lawyers are doubtful.
Under Sheriff McDonough Of the opinion yes
terday that the salary of $4,000 would be found In
adequate, considering the great responsibility
which the Sheriff must assume. He thought that
comparatively few men would care for the Office
now that the fees had been transferred wholly TO
the city.
