sheriff rofey,s wings.

The Tribune this morning rushes into
q defense of Sheriff Toffey in replying to
some general temen made to a re-
porter by Robert Davis yesterday. 1t
claims that Col. ToffeS suppressed gam
bling, and, in general, brought about a
state of things approaching the milen-
mum in Hudson county.
Now everyone in Hudson now that in
this respect there never was a greater
humbug than John J. Toffey. Policy,
poolselling and ever other form of gam
bling vent on all over the county, UNI
molested, during his term. We make no
charges of protecting crime and vice
against the Colonel. Indeed, we do not
think he was in any particular deal. He
was Just a discreet man, who was not
borrowing any trouble for himself or
making any for anyone who might be
useful to the G.. O. P.
The Journals own revelations"
and all the evidence before the GIedhill
Committee, clearly prove the truth of this
assertion. In fact, policy playing got its
worst grip in Hoboken and Jersey city
during the years Immediately preceding
Sheriff Heller's election, and h Harri-
son poolrooms were the constant subject
IF attack by the newspapers.
OF course, Sheriff Toffey was handi-
capped by the enormo difficulty of get
ing evidence and making raids. He had
he same troubles as other sheriffs, and
= was neither better nor worse than
hey.

Mr.. Grey Make. Restitution

Attorney General Samuel H Grey re-
surned to County Collector Hugh DusaA'
this morning. the fee of A,4oo when ne
illegally collected a little more thah q
wal aeo for his services in the Noonah-
Simpson prosecution. He Went even
little further than the law required IN re-
turning. as well, the soS.s5 which ne cor
1eeted for his expenses at the r1o'e'
Washington during the progress OF ~
trial. This probably ends the incident %
Mr.. Grey shows no disposition to resign
and the talk about his suing the county
for the amount returned is mere poppy
cock.
This incident has been the cause of no
small amount of bitter comment IN huu-
son county. It is not because any one
suspects Mr.. Grey of deliberately az
tempting TO swindle the county, II Is pc
cause of the preposterous contrast wh'ch
1t establishes between his actual conoueN
and the role of reformer in which ne
posed befofe tHe wpi"
average. everyday citizens very naturais
think that when a man starts out cru
saa;ng in the cause of public virtue ana
good government. he should be very care
full to keep his own skirts clean. MI
Crews course has not had the puphe
sympathy or approval in any OF us iatef
developments. His putting in any Dill at
all-exeept, perhaps. for actual expenses
was a shock to public confidence EVERY
mo knew that he was in receipt of a
large salary from the State, and, IN view
of that fact. lawyers and laymen gener-
ally agreed that his claim for $500 a day
for fourteen days, for services rendered
in his Official capacity, was exorbitant, II
not outrageous
The misunderstanding of the law by
Mr.. Grey places him now in a very
singular and unpleasant position he
made his charge under the law OF 1904,
apparently unaware that had been prac-
tically superseded by the law of 1875, lie
was acquainted. he says, with the law OF
1882 Chapter 1907. and yet he did not un-
derstand the bearing of such plain and
precise terms as those of its third section
upon his right to collect fees. He also
seems to have been unaware of the exist
ence of Chapter 151, although it is printed
at the top of the right hand page in the
statute book. directly opposite Chapter
$50. 1t is very funny indeed, and while 1t
constitutes no reflection upon Mr.. Grey's
honor, it certainly places his reputation
for vigilance and accuracy in a somewhat
7udicrous light.
That MI. Grey's services on the trial
would nave been worth 81, 400 if he were
not a salaried officer of the State is quite
true. 1t is also true that the trial i'm
posed unusual labor upon him. But the
labor was really performed for a private
client, the Evening Journal" Nobody
else had any real interest in the prose-
rution.
1t is therefore proper that the Journal
should foot the bill. Now that Mr.. Grey
has returned the money to the county,
Colonel Phelps of Haekensack should send
him a check for the amount, as well as
q retainer for his appearance in the new
trial which is soon to take place.
