TURNER'S HFAT TkKE;U
or. the History of a special United

states Attorney.
No Adminlst alton has ever been guilty "
such an eXtravagant waste OF the public funds
by way of attorneys fees to special counsel %
that of Brewster, Attorney. General.
1t seems that every political tramp in tho
country who applies is given employment as
a special attorney, at a salary ranging from
$4,000 TO 100000 per annum.
A Shining Example
OF the manner in which the Treasury is plum.
dered by these special attorneys has turned
up in Alabama, in the person OF one. George
Turner. Mr.. turner is ono OF the noble BOG.
He led delegation, solid for the sold man,"
at Chicago, and had claims on the administra.
lion, which he is said to have strengthoned by
confidentally pledging the next delegation
from Alabama TO the Republican National
Convention, to several OF our leading states-
men.
1t having been intimated to Mr.. Turner that
he would
He Taken Care of
II n place could DO found for him he set about
to make place for himself. At this tuncture
Mr.. Turner suddenly discovered that the Gov
ernment had been defrauded out OF several
times the amount Of the national debt through
the entry OF coal lands In Alabama by home
stead settlers. This was an enormity at which
the conscience of Mr.. Turner revolted, and he
had himself appointed special attorneyat
$4,000 Year and Expenses
for the purpose OF roofing out tho fraud.
Mr.. Turner was also supplied with a select
corps OF sneaks or detectives, and this crowd
OF runans have been engaged during the past
two years in the delectable occupation OF drag
ging innocent settlers from their homes TO at
tend trials before the land officers, which
never took place, for want OF evidence on the
part OF the prosecution. During all this time
Mr.. Turner has
Never Convicted n Man
or caused single land entry to be Cancelled,
but he has drawn his pay and expenses with
a regularity which would do credit TO George
Bliss.
At tho last session of Congress an act was
passed abolishing the distinction between
mineral and agricultural lands in Alabama,
and, in effect iegislat1ng Mr.. Turner and his
corps Of sneaks out of ONCE; but, notwith-
standing this fact, It is alleged that they are
still engaged In dogging these homestead
settlers, whose claims have been confirmed by
Congress. There IS no longer the fatntest ex-
cuse for the employment OF Mr.. Turner, but
He Still Hangs on to His sI6.67
per day and expenses, and Will, no doubt, con-
tinue to do so Indefinitely. 1t is understood
that the doings OF Turner and his sneaks Will
be investigated by Congress at the next ses-
sion, and from what has already come TO light
some rich developments are promised.
