THE JAIL PROBLEM.

We would commend to the atten-
tion of our readers the excellent com
munication published in this issue of
the Chronicle Of ex-Judge John r..
Kanouse on the subject Of new Jail
for Morris County. The Chronicle
endorses the position taken by the
Judge with regard to replacing en-
forced idleness by enforced labor.
This would be beneficial both to the
prisoners and to the county. 1t would
empty the Jail of the professional
loafers who make it their headquar-
tiers every winter Il would save
the county the expenhB of boarding
men held for an indefinite time for
justices costs as the prisoners would
have an opportunity to earn the costs
they are held for and which at pre-
sent they never can pay.
The only point on which we have
TO disagree with Judge Kanouse is
that ii is not necessary to remove the
Jail to Dover or anywhere else SO far
from the county seat to secure the de-
sired reform. We have before called
attention to the fact that a jail for
convicted prisoners could be very
pyoRtably placed near the quarry on
the Mendham Road.

Sentence Dav.

Yesterday was sentence day in the
Quarter Sessions, ana the following
sentences were imposed by Judge
Vreeland:
Martin Kilkenny, of Morristown.
who plead guilty to an indictment
for malicious mischief one day in
jail he having been confined there
already about two months.
John Gethell, convicted of stealing
turkeys, jail for one month.
Cornelius O'Connell, who plead
guilty to an assault upon William
Mack, fined 500.
Joseph Olejarck, receiving stolen
goods, fined $40 and costs.
George Leonard, for stealing
shirt, said he did so while SO drunk
that he did not know what he was
doing It was his first offense and
senence was suspended
Augustus Baker, petty larceny.
Jail for three months; his case was
aggravated by the fact that he had
committed an assault upon an inmate
of the Jail while awaiting trial.
Joseph Merritt, convicted Of an as
sault and battery upon his ten year
old sister in law, had sentence sus-
pended, petition from the girls
mother being presented TO the Court
and it also appearing that his family
would be dependent upon charity for
support while he was confined in
Jail.

Our sense Of gratitude for all that the
services of Washington have left TO us and
those who shall come after us as the i'm
heritors Of the great Republic, should not,
cannot die, but il our gratitude goes deep
or than lip service. if it inspires higher
patriotism, more faithful devotion to
civic duty, it will render greater honor to
the memory of Washington and his example
Will become more fruitful to the Nation
and the world.
While we are looking back to the strug.
giles of the past, here and now, upon q wild
er field q more momentous battle is waged.
The call to arms goes forth with every
sunrise none the less imperative that it is
the still small voice of duty.
1t is said that on one Of those rare oc.
casions when the Americans fed in terror
from their enemy. Washington, losing all
self command at the sight. exclaimed in a
transport of rage:
Are these the men with whom am to
defend America Pr
Let not our neglect of the simple, every
day service Of the citizen. draw upon as
the rebuke:
Are these the men for eolsom Washing
ton defended America ~
