CUTTING DOWN THE FEES.

me Increment to 4b0Iis7t the Fee System of
the United States District attorneys
just before the holiday adjournment Sen
ator Coke, of Texas, introduced resolution
which was referred to the judiciary commit
tee. He asked that committee to frame a
bill which will abolish the present fee sys-
tenn by which United States district attor-
neys are able not only to pocket large sums
of money, but to carry on through their
agents petty persecution of persons who,
through ignorance of some of the technical
tiles of the revenue regulations, may be put
to endless trouble and expense. In the Sen
ator's own State of Texas men are frequent
~ dragged hundreds of miles to court on
some petty charge of having in some way
infringed the revenue laws, only to find on
their arrival that court is not in session. and
will not be for weeks and maybe months.
The usual result is that they are only too will
ing to pay round sum to have the matter
compromised in order that they may be at
liberty to return to their homes. This abuse
of authority, which has grown to shameful
proportions in certain parts of the South,
exists to greater OF less extent in every
State in the Union, and the legislation Mr..
Coke seeks IS to be far-reaching in its effects,
as it is intended to apply to Massachusetts
equally with Texas and Tennessee. Senator
Coke expects the judiciary committee will
report q bill in accordance with his resolu-
ton, very soon after the holidays. He is in
clined to think such a measure will meet
with favor from the Republican as well as
the Democratic side of Congress, both for
the reason that it is in no wise political
question, and also because Attorney General
Devens, in his annual report made to Con-
gress at the beginning of the present ses-
sion, made very similar recommendation.
The fee system once abolished, and regular
schedule of salaries adopted in its stead, Mr..
Coke thinks the main incentive for the pres
ent abuses would at once vanish. The bill
which be expects the judiciary committee to
report will necessarily be an elaborate affair,
as it will contemplate system of graded
salaries much greater in some districts than
in others.

The New York Times charges that the
Democratic members of the Blaine COM
mittee are trying to delay the investigation
contemplated in the resolution under which
they were appointed. If this is true they do
not represent the Democratic party at large,
and the sooner they understand the fact the
better it will be for them. The party has
nothing to gain by delay. The charges have
been publicly made that large numbers of
legal voters were deprived of their right to
exercise the franchise Those charges must
be either proved OF disproved. The people
of the whole country demand it. Conceal
ment is not the policy of the Democratic
party. 1t has boosted of its desire to accord

Their Erte1st and Characteristic Tactics Of
the AccuSe1

Their E1te,st and Characteristic Tactics of
the accused.
Washington Special (Dec. 81 to Chicago Times.
MIR. Whitthorne, chairman of the House
naval committee, was tonight shown Mr..
Beecher's statement of last Sunday to the
effect that the government had expended
$280,0O0,OO0 two years ago, and now we had
nothing to show for it. Mr.. Whitthorne re-
piled laughingly, that Mr.. Beecher was GER
tainly remarkable for putting things strong
ly and tersely. "The fact is," said he, "since
1872 we have expended on our navy $780,
1876, O33, to which is to be added the value of
the material exchanged by Mr.. Robson,
making the actual cost of the navy very
much greater than the sum I have named.
1t must be remembered that at the time re-
ferred to there were borne on the naval
register two hundred vessels, for the repair
and preservation of which large sums of
money had been previously expended; and it
is but natural that the country should ex-
pect that at this time something like a
serviceable fleet should ride our waters. But
such is very far from being the case.
OF all grades and classes there
are not more than thirty three vessels
of war, and not one of these can be rated as
really of the first class. This reminds me
to say some years ago, at the time of the
Virginius excitement, Congress voted 81
100000 to be used in putting the navy in
posture of defense and to reimburse the de-
partment for expenses incurred during that
scare. These four millions Robson, in bis
recent testimony before the naval commit
tee, chose to regard as lump fund to be
drawn upon at his pleasure, and he so dis
bursed it. But was surprised, on turning
back to the debates in Congress at the time
the appropriation was made, to find it was
expressly stipulated that these four millions
should be used subject to tho order of the
secretary of the navy, when the same had
been approved by the President of the United
States. 1t appears, however, that Robe
son used the whole of that money at his own
discretion, in plain violation of the letter
and intent of the law, and for what purpose
God knows. This, think, is good exam
pie of Robeson's utter contempt for the
law
"What line of defense do you think Robson
will adopt?''
"Well, think he intends to take refuge in
the statute of limitations He is plainly play
ing for time now. He is trying to blind the
public to his real object, which is to get ad-
vantage of the lapse of time since the COM
mission of his malfeasance in Office. If he
can procrastinate and stave off the results
OF this investigation until the close of the
present Congress he thinks he will be safe,
and he is sharp enough to know just what he
is about. This system of his to kill time
really and sufficiently accounts for all the
delays we have been subjected to in making
this Investigation -
