He was a figure Of considerable impor-
tance in the old days. He helped, in no
small degree, elect Mayor Wanser. and
he contributed something to Sheriff Tof-
stand the situation. They take Mr.. Scud-
der's talk Just as they do Mr.. Flavel
McGee's or Judge Blair's or Mr.. G. Frank
sutherland's. Mr.. scudder has lost his
grip.
Yesterday he contented himself in the
main by glittering generahties about the
Sherif's Office The sting in his pre-
lude" was in a few words towards the
close. There was one direct faisehood.
the assertion that Mr.. Heller is a gin
mill keeper. Then there was some mean
i~nnuendo, which is damaging only on ac-
count of its vagueness which makes con-
tradiction or denial impossible.
AS for the general bearing of the dis
course, it was ~scandalously unfair and
u-nscrupulous. The assumption that Mr..
Heller will not draw good grand juries
and perform the duties of the office nom
orably is unwarranted by anything in his
record and unjustiaable on any theory
of fair play. If Mr.. scudder were in
ciined to play a manly and impartial role
in his campaign, he would take the
earliest possible occasion to apologize to
Mr.. Heller publicly for his gratuitously
injurious assertions.

WHO rs RESPONSIBILITY
Trying to Fix the Blame for DAYS.


Another effort was made in the General
Sessions Court this morning to solve the
complicated problem, not that one of
Who struck Billy Patterson?'' but the
more modern one of who is responsible
for the escape of Francis Daily, the policy
man, from the County Jail. DAILY can
scarcely be held responsible, because he
was officially discharged. 1t would not
be in human nature for Daily to refuse to
leave the jail when he was invited ohi-
cially to go out, just because there was
a little thing like an indictment pending
against him to which he had pleaded
guilty and on which he was awaiting the
sentence of the Court.
Clerk John r. Purtell stated to the
Court that he had delivered two capsases
for Daily to the Sheriff's Office.
Under Sheriff Erwin said he had not
received two capiases and he knew that
the Sheriff had not seen them. Clerk
John Mersheimer repeated his statement
made on Saturday, that there was only
one capias in the jail for Daily and only
n commitment. Judge Hudspeth re-

SHRIHVALTY MORALITY.
The Rev. John L. Scudder
Talks on Local Politics
from His Pulpit.
FATHER TIGHE's RECEPTION
GreenyiIle Citizens Welcome Him
Back-servicas in Other
Churches Throughout
the City.
TIGHE's RECEPTION

The Rev. John L. Scudder, of the Jersey
City Tabernacle, in a prelude delivered
last night on the local political situation,
spoke particularly on THE Moral Signl-
hcance Of the Sheriff's Once" He said
This is Presidential year, and there is
a danger that national politics shall over
shadow local issues. We have given four
Sundays to the consideration Of the money
question; now we desire to fix the atten-
ton Of the people Of Hudson county upon
the Sherif's office, for, morally speaking,
it makes a prodigious difference who oc-
cupies this position, for it is the duty of
the Sheriff to select Grand Juries, and
Grand Juries determine, in large measure,
the amount of vice and crime in the
community.
Few people realize the far reaching in
fuence of a New Jersey Sheriff. If he is
a fearless and conscientious man, his
Grand Juries will promptly indict Of
tenders and put a wholesome check on
fragrant forms of wickedness. If he is
a weak, time-serving man, or # he is cor
rupt at heart and sympathizes with the
vicious elements of society, he can be-
come az strong protection to evil doors,
and the moral element in the community
win be powerless to enforce the laws.
They must suffer till his term of office
expires.
"A good. Sheriff Is a bulwark Of law
ana order, ana is TO De feared more llan
any other man in the community. But
one who is in league with the criminal
elements can impede the administration
of justice and become a positive encour-
agement to various forms of w~ickedness.
Those of US who worked against race
track gambling realize this. We want no
repetition of such official villainly. A
corrupt Sheriff will draw corrupt Grand
Juries, and law breakers will escape pun
ishment.
Il consider the sheriff's Office the
strategic point in the coming election.
Around 1T the forces of sin and righteous
ness will wage a battle royal. The peo-
pie need to be aroused to fhe seriousness
of the conflict and the necessity of elect
ing the best mar possible to the RESPONSE
BILE position. Hudson County has a repu-
tstion to sustain. The Grand Juries Sc
leeted by Sheriff Toffey were composed of
respectable citizens, whose names were a
guarantee of their conscientious perfom-
ance Of duty. And we wan the present
condition of things to continue. We
var no letting down the bars to iniquity.
Christian people must not go to sleep
in this election and then suddenly wake
up to find the vicious elements in society
in triumphant control. If saloen-keepers
are to obey the law, if low concert halls
are to remain closed. If policy and other
forms of gambling are to be kept down,
we must chose a Sheriff who has suf1-
Gent nerve and conscience to do his
duty.
Mr.. Scudder closed his remarks with hts
usual libelous harangue pom the Demo
cratic nominees.

SILVER AFFECTS TEA.


Country Reduced Fifty Per Cent.
TACOMA, Wash. Oct. II. 1ss6.-The
Northern Pacific liner Tacoma which ar
rived yesterday from Yokahoma brought
the news that this seasons tea exporta-
tons a v aggregated scarcely half that
Of last year. The demand has been
light, owing to the unsettled business
conditions and several steamers have ar
rived here with only partial tea cargoes,
while last year during the summer they
carried tea almost exclusively. Just now
the demand is increasing, but expectations
will be delayed for some time because the
floods lave interrupted shipments of tea
from the interior TO Yokohama.
According TO the latest japanese papers
only 2S.D00 pounds of tea were brought
to Yokohama between September l and Is.
This shows a decrease OF $50, 900 pounds
IN comparison with the latter half of
August. Many miles of railroad were
washed out by the foods. Trains in
Kobe and Osaka were resumed two
weeks ago. freight being transferred
across the One Breach remaining. The
important line between Osaka and Kan
zaki are still closed. Prospects are that
shipments to coast cities will be very
large in November, making exports to
this country heavy all winter.

mr.. mcEwan and Mr.. Kelly.

Mr.. Thomas McEwan has a very inter-
esting way of talking. That little chat
of his in this mornings World is more
than interesting; it is important. 1t
shows hat he is determined to land on
top. no matter who gets left. 1t will be
particularly cheerful reading for Mayor
Wanser, Mr.. Baldwin and the rest of the
Republican ticket. and will stimulate
them, no doubt, to renewed exertions for
Mr.. McEwan and the whole ticket.
But we have troubles OF our own. The
World also has an interview with May
or Simon Kelly Of W~eehawken, in which
that well fed -hanger-on of the party
machine sticks the knife as deep as he
is able between Director Heller's shout
ders. Simon Kelly has held more offices
than anyone else in the party, not ex-
cepting P. H. o'Neill. He has grown
rich and more or less influential through
his connection with the party. 1t is
certainly a piece Of gross ingratitude for
him to desert it now in a crisis and come
out for Mr.. Baldwin.
He says the reason he is doing this is
that he eogid not; get the usual Demo-
cratic majority in his town Tor Mr.. Heller,
that it win go $50 against him We do
not believe this. We believe the town
can be held in line by AVERAGE effort
But, even If the situation were bad, it af-
fords no excuse for Mr.. Kelly. Thu fact
that his party was in need should be the
strongest reason for standing by it.

We're J. E. Spur. H.. B. Goodrich and F.

logical Survey. They were sent by the
Department to Alaska last spring to
make a report on the prospects of quartz

They spent the entire summer in pur-
suing their investigations and observa-

reached the Upper Yukon about the
middle of June. They then went down
the Yukon to its mouth, pursuing their
Investigations at the various mining
settlements on their way.
They reached Fort ST. Michaels. at the
mouth of the Yukon, three weeks ago
and sailed almost Immediately for San

they say, that the prospects of profitable
quartz mining in Alaska are very good
and will make a report to thai effect.
There is a big ledge running northwest
and southeast through the country similar
to the mother lode in California, and
they expect to see many big mines OPEN
ed in the ledge before many years have
