IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.

VERY FEW PEOPLE outside the
state of New York and not a
great many who live there are aware
Of the fact that it is possible in the
Empire state to imprison d man indefi-
nitely for debt. Yet Ludlow street jail,
in New York City. is a debtors prison.
The matter las recently been called to
public attention through an interview
with Sheriff Erlanger, printed in one
of the New York papers. The sheriff
says that an arrest in a civil case may
mean months of Imprisonment. He
adds:
The prisoner has friends. c6mpro-
mise may be forced as a condition of his
release; but If he happens TO be without
friends and has no money 70 procure
counsel he might die in Jail and no one.
be the wiser. Such is the condition of al
fairs that exists today in Ludlow street
jail. The wives Of prisoners daily plead
with the sheriff. either TO release their
husbands or reduce their bail. a. the
sole means of the family's support has
been suddenly cut off by imprisonment
and IL Is known that dispossess proceed
ings have followed because house rent
could rot be paid. IL IS an appalling con-
dition of affairs. The civil Jail seems
TO exist for the poor: the rich seldom
are confined there
The impression that Imprisonment
for debr was long since abolished in
the United States prevails very gener-
ally. That it is permitted in the admit
teddy greatest state in the union al
most passes belief. Sheriff Erlanger
is Of the opinion-and most of us win
entirely agree with hinl-that arrests
for debt should not be permitted. And
he adds that if they are permitted
the creditor should be required 10 pay
the debtors board as long as the lat
ter remains in duress.
Certainly this would have the effect
of making imprisonments for debt less
frequent. We are told that in Canada,
up to about forty years ago. imprison-
ment for debt was much in favor in
some provinces. But there the credi-
tor was required TO pay the prisoners
board weekly in advance. The sum
had to be paid in coin of legal weight
ana the prisoner iISo d IlSHI W utiiio -"
tAat the money bs weighed before it
was accepted. II it failed to meet
every requirement to hair the doors
of the prison swung open for that
debtor.
But surely there is no excuse for the
practice in New York. Let us hope IL
viii be abolished as speedily as the
means OF doing so can be found.

CUTLER, a UNION MAN.

ONE OF THE REASONS assigned by
" the Cutler men for the defeat Of
Governor Wells in the Republican,
stale convention was the alleged hos
tility OF union labor to the governor
Union men have been busy ever since
tie convention trying 10 discover
traces Of heroic sacrifices by Cutler in
the cause of union labor. They ascer-
tanned that he had never employed a
union man in his shop, that much Of
his goods was made up elsewhere, that
some OF his ready made clothing was
not wholly free from suggestion Of
the sweatshOp. that the union tailors
referred to his place in terms far from
complimentary
Still the union men prosecuted their
inquiry and at length their reward
has come in the announcement that
ar Cutler las Just resigned his mem
bershir i'm the Citizens Alliance. Com
ing i'm the midst OF the campaign. and
being thus free from suspicion. this
resignation has brought joy to the
hearts of the union workmen. At last
they, know their friend, union labor's
friend, John G. Cutler.
Now let those union men who have
been suggesting that the state organf-
cation declare against Mr.. Cutler de-
sist Mr. Cutler has proved his 10y
atty to the union workman.

jects. His treatment-of the tariff. for
example, is admirably clear. He de-
clares in favor of reducing all tariffs
that enable American manufacturers
TO sell their products abroad at lower
figures than they compel Americans to
pay Tor the same goods. And Mr.
Davis cites facts and figures TO show
that Liz contention is well founded.
Relief from these conditions he
says, will only come through the sue
cess Of the Democratic party"
Mr.. Davis leaves no doubt as % his
position on the subject of the arbitra-
tion of international disputes. He be-
lieves that all disturbances that may
arise between the United States and
other countries should be submitted to
an impartial tribunal for adjudication.
TO the end that We may have done
with war forever. The same principle
he thinks, should be extended to Ia
Dor troubles. On this point he says:
