4 Good Recommendation

Attorney General Brewster, in his an
nual report, makes one recommendation
that is certain to meet with very general
approval. 1t is that Marshals and United
States Attorneys be paid salaries instead
of being compensated by fees. The fee
system is open TO abuse, and there is no
doubt that it is the source of mang
wrongs. The salary Of a United States
Marshal is $4,000 year provided the fees
Of his office reach that amount.
Not one-half the Marshars offices
pay chat amount. and many Marshals, if
reports are TO be credited, do not hesitate
to increase their fees by illegitimate
means. In the South this fee system has
been the occasion of a great deal of wrong
and oppression. Citizens have been ar
rested on frivolous or trumped-up charges
and dragged from their homes hundreds
Of miles to answer complaints that had
little or no foundation. They were
forced to submit to tedious trials and
meet heavy expenses in the way OF
counsel and witness fees. There are
instances where the business Of citizens
has been almost ruined to satisfy the
greed Of Marshals for fees, Many of the
election cases in different Southern States
which have attracted so much attention,
and excited so much bitter feeling, would
never have been heard of if it had not
been for the fee system. The
vague charges of disappointed candidates
and their adherents were utilized by Mar
shaIs to increase the emOluments of their
Offices. The Attorney General cannot
very well be charged with being unfriendly
to Marshals, but the facts compel him to
say in his report that subscriptions Mar
shaIs, in some instances, through their
deputies, have encouraged frivolous pros
ecutiOns, oUtraging the rights
Of citizens, and involving the
United States in unnecessary and
excessive expenses" The Attorney Cen
eral makes the astounding statement that
it Is estimated that it costs the govern
ment SO expenses for every dollars
emoluments Of the Marshal" This being
the case, the recommendation respecting
salaries cannot be adopted soon. The
people are tired of being harassed by I'M
scrupulous Marshals and the govern
ment ought to be tired of
paying out SO in order to allow Mar
shall TO earn 81. The reason for paying
Marshal a salary is even stronger in case
of the United States Attorney. His COM
pensatiOn depends largely upon the
amount of business which Marshals,
clerks and commissioners do. Mr.. Brew
ster hasn't made much Of reputation as
Attorney General. If he succeeds in get
ting his recommendation adopted he will
have done something to entitle his admin
istration of the Department of Justice to

Judgment e tine United States Court for
The southern District Of Georgia in the
case OF Cunningham vs. the Macon and

which the case is decided is that it was
really an effort % evade the constitutional
precision which prohibits the sueing Of
anv state. The suit was upon bonds Of
the read amounting to 100000, which
had the Endorsement Of the Governor but
had been declared invalid by the Legis-

By the selection of Mr.. Carlisle as their can
ddate for Speaker, the Democrats in Con-

stood by their faith and attempted nothing
because of eXpediency or for the spOils of
office. This decision carries with 1t no menace
to the business interests of the country; on
the contrary, it puts the ablest men of the
Democracy on their mettle to so adjust the
revenues as to lessen the burden of taxpayers,
and at the same time promote the welfare OF
commercial and manufacturing industries.
If the action taken last night means anything,
