make valuable contribution to this vexed
question, shall proceed to intimate brief

Upon the showing of our financial con-

felt justified in recommending to con-

that unless it shall be ascertained that the

however, for various reasons.t that so sweep

be an unwise step. Two of these reason
are deserving of special mention: First
it is by no means clear that even If the e1
listing system of duties on imports Is con
tinued without modification, those dutie
alone will yield sufficient revenue for al
the needs of the government. 1t Is est

THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
The report of the department of justice
brings anew to your notice the necessity Of
charging the present system Of federal
jurisprudence so as to efectually answer
the requirements of the ever increasing
litigation with which it is called upon to
deal.
The attorney general renews the sugges-
tions of his predecessor than in the inter
ests of justice, better provision than the ex-
listing laws afford should be made in
certain judicial districts for fixing fees of
witnesses and jurors.
In my message of December last re-
ferred to the pending criminal proceed
ings growing out of alleged frauds in what
is known as the star route service of the
postof6ce department, and advised you I
had enjoined upon the attorney general
and associate counsel to whom the interests
of the government we're entrusted the duty
of prosecuting with the utmost vigor of
law all persons who might be found
chargeable with those offenses. A trial of
one of these cases has since occurred. It
occupied for many weeks the attention o.
