THE REMEDY AGAINST INEFFICIENT
SHERIFFS.

-
The inertness of the sheriff of Sullivan
county, amounting almost to a refusal to
do his duty in connection with the riot
Gus strikers at Sheiburn, has raised a
question as to what remedy exists in such
a case. 1t has been suggested that the
judge of the Circuit Court might appoint
a substitute. termed in law an elizor. to
perform the duties OF the Office. The sug-
gestion does not meet the case. An elisor
can only be appointed in Connection with
the returning of a jury when the sheriff
is interested in a suit, or otherwise in
competent, and the only duty that an
elisor can perform is in that behalf. The
law makes no provision, either for the
removal of a sheriff who fails to per-
form his duty or for the appointment of a
substitute. The Constitution provides that
AL State. county. township ard town Off
GERS may be impeached. or removed from
Office. in such manner as may be pre-
scribed by law but thu Legislature has
never enacted any law on the subject. In
the absence of such legislation or of any
authority on the part of the Governor to
remove or suspend a sheriff who fails to
perform his duty. 1t appears that the on'y
remedy is a suit for damages against his
bondsmen or a proceeding against the
sheriff under Section 2O4O of the Revised
Statutes, which reads as follows:
"A county clerk, sheriff, coroner, consta-
bic or other ministerial officer who refu ses
or neglects TO perform any duty he is re-
quired by law to perform in any criminal
case or proceeding. and every officer whose
neeg l5 Is to Ss, execute to s the SAM any w ws9r n2-
legally issued in any criminal case, which
Is delivered to him to execute, when 1t is
alone or by calling assistance, shall be
fined not more than 500 nor less than $40,
to which may be added inn risonmant in
the county Jail not more than six months
nor less than ten days.
Under this provision a sheriff who fails
fort in serving a writ given him to serve
is liable to fine and Imprisonment. The
law also makes it the duty of a sheriff
to ARREST without process all persons who.
within his view. shall commit any crime
or misdemeanor, and detain them in CTS
tody until the cause of such arrest has
been investigated; and to suppress all
breaches of the peace within his knowl-
edge. having hereby given him authority
to call to his aid the power of the coun-
ty." II follows that a sheriff who stands
by and sees rioters destroy property or
commit any breach of the peace without
to arrest the leaders is gully
of neglect of duty which makes him liable
under the section first above quot7d.
Every sheriff is liable on his bond for
the results OF malfeasance in office and
for damages directly resulting from his
illegal acts or from fai ure to perform
his duty. If Ii can be shown that the
failure of the sheriff of Sullivan county
to perform his duty has resulted in the
destruction of property his bondsmsn
would be liable. If there is a good case
against him or his bondsmen it ought to
be prosecuted.

American interests.

The ocean race which is now in progress
between British and Hawaiian steamers
for Neckar island is an incident of mod
ern commercial progress. Neckar island
is nothing but a barren rock in the Pa
ciflc ocean. but England wants it as a
landing point and station for a submarine
cable. while the Hawaiian government
wants to hold it for whatever profit it may
involve. The steamer that gets there first
and raises the flag Of It's country will win
the race. Meanwhile. patriotic Americans
will not fail to note the persistence with
which England plays for every point of
vantage in the Pacific bcean. while the
United States government is constantly
throwing points away.

A DIVINE.
Rev. DR.. Henry r. NaylOr Scores Bishop
Charles H. Fowler.

BALTIMORE, June 5.-"Bishops must
not be bosses was the way Rev. DIR. Hen
ry r. Naylor paid his respects to Bishop
Charles II. Fowler in his address in the
Methodist ministers meeting on the sub
ject of limiting the power of Methodist
bishops. The story of DIR. MAYORS re-
moval from his former position as presid-
ing elder of the Washington district to
the South Baltimore Methodist Church, Of
which he Is now pastor, Is well known.
The removal was made by Bishop Fowler
in the annual meeting of the Baltimore
Conference in Frederick in March. DIR.
Naylor had not served as presiding elder
in Washington the full time allowed pre-
siding elders, and he did not want to be
transferred. He was unusually popular
with the churches and a majority Of them
openly rebelled against the action Of the
bishop In sending DR.. Naylor TO Baltimore,
and passed resolutions requesting that such
action be reconsidered. The bishop did not
Dr.. Naylor said that a bishop had re-
moved a preacher from one appointment to
crushing him. Before the year was out the
preacher had died of a broken heart, leav-
Ing a widow and orphans. DR.. Naylor said
the system crushed manhood, made widows
and orphans, created sycophants and muz-
zled the religiousl press The idea is"

they are not a part OF the church?
John Wesley, the founder of the Method
list Church in America, was a royalist,

stincts were toward a monarchical form OF
government. Hence. when he appointed
the first bishops in America, it was not
strange he gave them absolute power. It
might have been wise and necessary then.

THE COFFINs NOT GOOD BUSINESS
MEN.

Before the revelation of the rottenness of
the indianapolis Cabinet Company and its
branches the Collins assumed and main
tanned the position of successful business
men, and their claim was generally con-
ceded. They gave out that they were pros
pering. and their style of living as well as
their personal conduct indicated that they
were. They were regarded by all who knew
them as first-class business men. and, as
nothing succeeds like success. the opinion
seemed to be well founded.
The failure of the indianapolis National
Bank and the revelations during the recent
trial showed that the claim of the Collins
and the general judgment of the communi-
ty concerning them was without foundation.
They were not good pushes men. That
they were smart, shrewd, slick, resourceful
and fertile in schemes to 'raise the wind
is certainly true, but it takes more than
this to constitute a good business man. In
deed, good business men do not depend on
the exercise of such qualities. A good bust
ness man Keeps MS expenditures WlInln MS
income and pays his debts. He tries to
develop his business from within and make
it pay its way. He does not take more
money out of his business than it will
justify, nor does he strain his credit to the
breaking point. He does not borrow money
with which to make expensive improve
ments in a plant not yet paid for. and he
does not declare dividends out of moneys
that ought to go to pay debts. Aside from
the dishonesty &C such transactions they
are not indicative of good business sense.
They may prove ability in a certain line
of reckless financiering, but they lack the
first element of safe business management.
The evidence in the trial which has re-
suited in sending the Collins to the peniten-
tiary showed that their business Methods
were dishonest and therefore unsafe, and
no person who practices such methods can
rightly be called a good business man. The
fewer such busine SIS men a community has
the better. The first requisite of a good
business man is honesty.

The votes taken in the Senate yesterday
practically settle the contest over the sugar
schedule in the tariff and ratify the bar
gain between the Democratic managers
and the Sugar Trust. The adoption of the
Jones amendment fixing the date when the
schedule shall go into effect at JAN 1,
1895, gives the trust abundant time to i'm
port raw sugar enough to run it for Quite
a long time, and keeps the government
out Of any revenue for fully a year. The
defeat of the several amendments offered
by Senator Henderson shows a determine
ton not to give even a fighting chance to
the growing beet sugar industry in this
country. Altogether. the work of yester-
day goes to demonstrate that the Demo-
cratic party is the natural enemy of
American interests. ea1 snT
