THE PREEHoLDERs' DUTY.

An essential point for the Freeholders to
keep in mind is that, except in cases where
strong reasons exist to the contrary, all
executive officers of the municipal govern
ment should be appointed by the Mayor
and subject to removal by him. Such Off
Gals are the County Clerk, the Sheriff, the
Assessor, the Tax Collector, the District
Attorney, the Coroner, the Public Admin
istrator, the Superintendent of Streets.
These officers are at present elected by the
people, and are not known by one in fifty
of the people who vote for them; they are
responsible to the people, that is to say
they are not responsible at all, for a re-
sponsibility to vast multitude is no re-
sponsibility. In case of misconduct they
cannot be removed except by slow,
elaborate and expensive process which no
citizen has time or inclination to initiate
for the public benefit.
If they were appointed by the Mayor the
public would hold him responsible for their
shortcomings and if he neglected to act
his political life would end with that term
of his mayoralty. In practice every Mayor
regards his Office as a stepping stone to
some other high place in the popular gift.
Self-interest would thus coerce him to keep
a sharp eye on his subordinates. No other
plan has been devised which promises so
thorough a supervision over the executive
city officials.
The plan is opposed on the ground that
the people can be trusted to choose their
own servants. That is only partially true.
The people can be trusted to choose the
high officials who control public affairs,
such as Presidents and Governors, and
they can be trusted to choose the repre-
sentatives who are to make the laws. But
when it comes to subordinate executive
officials they cannot be trusted to choose
them as well as one who is responsible for
their faithful discharge of duty; nor can
they possibly possess a sufficiently init
mate acquaintance with each of the can
didates who solicit their suffrages that
they can select the right man in every case.

TRAMPs IN GERMANY.

Reference was made in this column a
few days ago to the poor-farms in France,
which the authorities of Los Angeles APP
pear to be minded to initiate. A recent
official document on file in the State De-
partment furnishes some information re-
specting the plan pursued in Germany in
dealing with tramps-a plan which was
rendered necessary by the inundation of
German cities in 1871 by discharged
soldiers of the Franco-German war.
Each city in Germany is divided into
precincts, and for the relief of the destitute
each precinct has building or office, an
executive officer, and board of relief which
meets once fortnight. Citizens are
warned not to give money or food to beg
CARS, but to refer them to the Office of the
precinct. There they receive food or
money if needed, and their circumstances
are inquired into; a statement of their
case is laid before the precinct board and a
decision is reached on the form which
relief should take. Connected with the
relief stations are lodging-houses called
"herberges," which like our station-houses
supply food and shelter to those who are
destitute on the condition that the pauper.
if physically able, shall saw wood or do
other light work to pay for his bed and
breakfast In the morning he is asked
where he is going and is furnished with
map of his route, on which, at distances of
half day.apart, other herberges are situate,
which will lodge and feed him on condition
that he works for half a day. No tramp
can stay more than one night at any
herberge, and thus the danger of congrega-
tons of tramps forming industrial armies
is avoided. If the tramp refuses to move
on or to work he is reported to the police,

York police force should not be disturbed

To judge from New York newspapers the
most important issue of the dav is neither cur

America cup. To New Workers who do not

ates.-Chicago Times
Ex-Queen Lii should not be offended at the

1t would be pleasant to believe that the
transfer of Captain Schmittberger in New
York City was meant as penalty for his mis-

PETER declares that he has not used the word

who put him in jail and set him at very
hard labor indeed.
In addition to the precinct stations and
herberges, there are in Germany twenty
four labor colonies, in which tramps are
received. They must work half day Tor
their food and shelter, but they are free to
come and go as they please. Some OF them
stay in the colony as long as two years.
They get no pay, but when they leave they
receive in food, tools, clothing, and little
money, the equivalent of the work they
have put in over and above the half day
which the colony claims. This gives them
a start in life and saves them from return
ing to career of vagabondage.
The Legislature will do well to consider
these various plans by which the tramp
problem has been solved abroad. We might
benefit by foreign experience.
