FEE OFFICES.

The Register OF Kings County has set an adj
mirable example to other holders of places from
which excessive amounts iu fees are garnercd.
In many counties and cities In this State, and
In other States well. the totals harvested
from fees reach figures out of all reasonable
proportion 10 the services rendered. Less than
Il quarter Of a century has passed by since the
Sheriff, the County Clerk and the Register of
the county of New-YOrk reaped much larger
profits every year than the salary of the Presl-
dent of the United States. Before notifications
in the laws reduced the huge revenues of those
local offices more than one Sheriff and Register
took in over 100000 in a twevemonth above
his office expenses. And in those days there
were at least two Federal places here which
invariably enriched the fortunate occupants
Those were the Collectorshp of the Port and
the District Attorneyship. While the objection
able 'mOiety" system which The Tribune ex-
posed and denounced was kept up. Custom
House officials and District Attorneys had op-
portunlties to enlarge their incomes by extern
sive additions to their salaries.
Public places in which wealth can be piled
I'D in a single term from fees, each one of which
NAV not seem large but which in the aggregate
mount to startling sums excite violent rivalry
among politicians who are determined to get
rich In the briefest possible time. When Fed
eral and county offices In New-York were gold
mines in themselves because of the enormous
gains from fees, the fury of competition for
nominations and appointments brought about
grave abuses. When the Tweed ring was at
the height of its power, the nominations for the
shrievalty and the Registershlp were in effect
and substance put up for purchase and knocked
down 10 the highest bidder. Romes Pretorian
Guards sold the empire to the patriclan who
offered the biggest price Tweed and his Pre-
torian Guards did not advertise open auction

Derery bears the unnistakable marks OF sin
cerity and truth. The public believes that police
men are punished IL they do their duty and
enforce law against those who buy indulgences
70 commit crime from the political powers, and
that belief cannot be changed except through
most complete overturniDg of the system and
removal of those responsible for il. without
any pettifogging and evasion such as Commits
sioner Murphy commonly INDUCES in when con-
fronted by evidence of scandalous acts on the
part OF his nominal assistant which he cannot
afford TO approve and apparently does not dare
10 override.
The idea that reform is commercially dlsad-
vantageous is a woful falacy. and we are glad
70 see the merchants calling for honest govern
ment for purely business reasons. Tammany
loves TO pose as the patron Of business pros

CLIP CHANCES.

Sir Thomas Upton had the pleasure OF seeing
the Columbia Outsai the Constitution hand
someiy while the wind lasted in the second
official trial race off Newport yesterday. Sir
Thomas is doubtless far from feeling a con-
tempt for the old defender. but he cannot fail
10 find encouragement in every fresh indication
that Herreshoff reached his limit two years
ago and for the first time has not succeeded IN
improving upon former model. He thinks the
first Shamrock is a much faster boat to-day
than she was in 1899 while the record seems
10 show that the second Shamrock is much
faster than her predecessor; and from these
premises he may not Lnnaturaly draw the
welcome conclusion that inasmuch as evidence
Of the Columbia's superiority TO the ConSutu-
ton is steadily accumulating he has an excel
lent chance of winning the Americas Cup
whichever boat is chosen to defend 1t.
While, however. Sir Thomas is justified in
taking a cheerful view Of the situation, and
Americans have some reason for anxiety. eX-
treme confidence on the one side alarm on
the other would be premature. For in the first
place. some experienced judges are still con
vinced that the Constitution has not yet found
herself. bur is capable Of doing much better,
perhaps with different handling than she has
heretofore done: and. in the second place. it is
probable that the Columbia is faster than she
was two years ago. Indeed those aboard OF
her are pretty we'll convinced that such is the
fact, though il has 10 be admitted that the i'm
possibility Of determining when. If ever. pre-
vious conditions of wind and water are exactly
reproduced makes all such calculations dan
gerous.
It has not been forgotten that more than one
challenger has crossed the Atlantic with repu-
tation which caused Americans 10 fear that she
was destined TO take the Cup back with her.
but which she failed TO vindicate when the SUI
preme test came. Moreover. there are nearly
three weeks ahead in which the belief that
some mysterious but durable defect is holding
the Constitution back may be verified. And,
again. II is not yet necessary 10 conclude that
the Columbia in her present foI'n IS not good
enough 10 defend the Cup. Nevertheless, the
opinion is Enthusiastically gaining ground that
the Cup was never before In so much danger
One thing is certain. and that is that the
American people would feel no trace Of resent
ment against Sir Thomas Upton in case he
should realize his dearest ambition. but would
congratulate him with the heartiest good will
while unanimously resolving that the famous
trophy should be brought home again at the
earliest possible moment.

The assurances that liquid air would revOlu-
tionize motive power systems. convert hot waves
into cooling zephyrs. transform New-YOrk into
an earthly paradise and accomplish all sorts Of
wonders in the twinkling of an eye seem TO have
been premature. None of these marvellous
changes have yet been realized. and purchasers
OF liquid air stock are lamenting the unexpect-
ed deliquescence of their hopes. But were they
wholly reasonable in expecting solid returns ard
substantial dividends In a few months merely
from the atmosphere? When they bought sheir
shares had they forgotten the sorrows of the
promoters OF the New-England scheme for eX-
tracing gold from the waters of the Atlantic?
prospectors of the refiuent tides and spectators
in the evanescent breezes are not likely to ac-
cuouIate vast fortunes in a hurry.

tho disposal Of the candidates. for the lucrative
fee offices but 1t was generally understood in
that corrupt era that the politicians who would
nut I'D the most money would carry the nomi-
mating conventions. The buying and selling
were obvious enough to disgust every honest
citizen.
Changes of moment have been made since
that period of impudent and unchecked rob-
bery The chief Federal offices have been for
wears almost exclusively salaried places, with
no extensive ntakings from fees. Various ex-
periments have been tried with respect to the
Sheriff and the Register IN this county. The
legislature has adopted several acts in different
sessions concerning the financial affairs of the
two departments. Our Sherifs and Registers
for many a day have been Tammany men. who
have managed their offices extravagantly. for
their own advantage first and for the promotion
of Tammany schemes in the second place. A
great deal of public money is thus wasted, ana
both places are cverrun by Tammany idlers
whose lazness and inefficiency are wellnigh In
sufferabe. But the old fee system has been
revolutionized In both departments. The Reg
lister of Kings County is a public official or
wholly different type from that of the TAM
many Register and the Tammany Sheriff OF this
county On the other side of the East River the
mischievous fee system remains until January
l. The Register himself has condemned 1t and
pointed out its injurious features. Moreover
he has decided to take for himself only rea-
sonable compensation for his services, and TO
use the remainder of the revenues of his pO-
sition which he might legally put in his pocket
il he cared to do so, in erecting a statue OF
Washington in suitable place in Brooklyn.
His public spirit is commendable. but, as he
himself believes, the system of eXacting fees
from the people TO such an extent that greedy
placeholders can heap up riches in few months
is essentially unsound and vicious. 1t is relic
of old mistaken methods and systems, and
should be abolished everywhere.
The next legislature ought TO give thorough
consideration to the fee system wherever any
relics of II remain. Radical changes should be
made in the public interest.

AMERICAN CLAIMS IN AFRICA.

This mornings dispatches announce that the
British commission on South African claims will
receive no further claims after September 10.
In due time thereafter the commission will make
report upon which government action toward
the claims will be based. Many American
claims for ndemnities account of destruc-
tion Of property or business or of other losses
have been presented. 1t is not known that any
Of them are regarded with favor by the commits
sion. Many OF them are undoubtedly regarded
with aggressive disfavor.
1t seems probable that the ultimate dispo-
sition OF the various claims will depend upon
questions of fact. The chairman of the British
commission has laid down with iterated empha-
sis the general principle that the claim of no
man who fought against the British will be
favorably reported. That will probably bar out
a considerable proportion of the claims. 1t is
said. for example. that claims have been pre-
sented by some of those men who went from
the United States 10 South Africa under the
badge Of the Red Cross, sworn to be non-com-
batant nurses, but who as soon as through this
pretence Of neutrality they had got TO the scene
OF action. stripped off the Red Cross badges
and took up arms 10 aid the BOers as merce-
naries in the BOer commanders. If the British
Government refuses to grant their claims for
indemnity ii may he possible TO acQuiesce In Its
action without being guilty of an atrociOus lack
of sympathy with oppressed American fellow
citizens.
On the other hard. It Is probable that some
Americans who maintained an attitude of neu-
trality, or at least did not fight for or aid the
Beers. suffered loss because of the war. II so,
they would seem to have good ground for their
claims for indemnity. and 1t is TO be presumed
that upon proof OF the circumstances their
claims will he favorably reported. There will
be just two questions TO be answered. One is
the amount of loss actually suffered; the other
is the attitude of the claimants toward the war.
1t should not he difficult for deserving claimants
10 prove their cases.

Az ENEMY TO BUSINESS.

II is poor rule that viii not work both ways,
and the president Of the Merchants Association
neatly turns the tables on Tammany in his let
ter 10 Police Commissioner Murphy calling upon
that officer 10 discipline his subordlnates who
are running the reputation of this city and hurt
ing its business. The charm done 10 business
interests 10y reforlners" has always been a
favorite theme with Tammany orators. They
made their campaign for the election of Mayor
Van Wycl1 largely on that issue The business
interests needed a wide open town. The mer-
chants who come here 10 buy goods must find
gambling houses and other vicious resorts IN full
blast, otherwise they would not be sufficiently
attracted TO the metropolis and would pine for
the 1eshpots Of smaller cities. Only a few
days ago Devery, forgetful OF the official policy
of Tammany to advertise New-York as q place
Of easy virtue. broke forth into abuse of his
critics for giving publicity 90 the police situa-
ton here. lie said:
All this stuff they're talkin' about goes all over
the country. They're beittlin' and blackenin'
the city all over the country. Merchants VINO
would come here from an over the country don't
come mere. on the advice OF their wives. These
people are interferin' with the business an well
fare OF the country.
Like the French minister who answered the
petition for the abolition Of capital punishment,
''Certaply; let messieurs the assassins com
mence," the Merchants Association tells Com
missioner Murphy that If Tammany does not
want the city government TO have a bad reputa-
tion Ii should not maintain a bad city govern
ment. II does not DO for those who are themselves
responsible for scandals 10 turn upon those call
ing attention 10 the scandals and demanding a
remedy, and blame them for libeling the town
Tammany doubtless feels that the greater the
truth the greater the libel. but that dictum is
neither justice nor good law. The truth is com
plete justification for alleged libel and all the
harm that may come 10 New-York from its
present disgrace before the world is directly
chargeable upon the city administration which
has conducted public affairs that the truth
about them is dsgraceful. II. as the Merchants
Association says, the scandals OF the Police De
partment do no end Of harm by creating preju-
dice In the mind Of the country merchant, II is
fully justified in asserting that "the existing
"eyils ought 10 be rooted out thereby removing
'the cause for scandal" which brings TO naught
