WOULD ABOLISH FEES.
An Effort to Change the Federal
Office System.

Office System.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-An effort will
be made by a number of Democratic
representatives in congress to have the
appropriations committee recommen d
that the fee system in federal offices be
abolished so far as can well be done. A
number of congressman, especially ID
the Southern states. urge that the
suits in much hardship to people
in their states through deputy
marshals and other court officers
straining the laws for the purpose of
making cases i'll courts and thereby in
creaSng the emOluments of their Of
fees. 1t is urged that the government
would really save great deal of money
by paying salaries to such employees as
are necessary i'll fee offices, and reuuir-
ing that all fees shall be turned into the
United States treasury. Vigorous op-
position, however, is expected to this
reform, and the appropriations commit
tee has not yet got to work, so that it is
uncertain what will be the out
come. One of the attempts to
do away with perquisites in
federal offices is of considerable inter
est to the numerous poStmaSters of the
first class throughout the country. At
present stamped envelopes are furnished
postmasters at fifth of cent for each
envelope. No profit is realized on these
by the postmaster when he sells them
in large lots. When sold singly, or in
small quantities, there is profit of four
f1fths of cent on each envelope. and
Mr.. O'Neill, of Missouri. who intends to
urge congress to change the practice, says
that the result is considerable profit
lat the end of the year to the postmasters
who are in receipt of a regular fixed
salary. He will urge that hereafter
stamped envelopes be furnished at cost
i'll scent lots (the price of the stamp not
lncluded). The government, he said.
should not make a profit on these and
other conveniences it furnishes to the
people, but should give them at cost
wherever practicable, and any profits
arising where the exact cost cannot be
conveniently fixed should not go to sal

JUMPED ON BY COX.
The Tennesseean Says the ALI
ance Practices DupIicity.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Congressman
Cox, of Tennessee, in an interview crit
icising the action of the Alliance presi-
dents and the resolution adopted by
them here few days ago, says:
why, the resolution shows duplicity
on its face. In one breath it says they
will affiliate with no party Or parties
and asks that every party take them
under its fold. Now, the Democratic
party is never going to indorse the Ocala
platform as it stands, nor will the Re-
publican party. The Peoples party,
so-called, has already indorsed the Ocala
demands, and, if the Alliance means
to throw its strength to the party
that Endorses its peculiar views
and demands. the main ones of
which are the sub-treasury and
land loan scheme, both clearly at va
rance with the theory of this govern
ment and sound political economy. why
then they are already III the Peoples
party, so far as these demands will ever
get any sort of party Endorsement.
Nineteenth of my constituents are ag-
rlculturists. and am in full sympathy
with them in their just grievances. but
no man who understands the principles
of this government can ever indorse the
chimerical ideas of the extreme AL
lance leaders,"

complish the object much more GER
tainly and speedily. But it is proposed
to make the rule even wider in it's ap-
pllcatlon than the old one by removing
the requirement that the proposed
amendment must be germane to the sub
Ject of the bill. The reason advanced
for this is that the annual indefinite ap-
preparations ROW authorized by law
amount to about S125, 100000. They are
under the control of no committee, and
would not, therefore be germane to the
subject of any bill reported In
that large amount. it is believed
that the appropriation committee
can find at least several mill
ions of dollars that might be saved,
and If the reduction could be made on
one of the regular appropriation bills
there would be but little difficulty in
accomplishing it. How to draft rule
that will enable the committee on APP
preparations to carry out its policy of
retrenchmenT and at the time shut off
political riders, which it is admitted are
undesirable, is the chief task before
the committee on rules.
Gen. CatchingS is of the opinion that

Little Prospect of Important Bust
ness This Week.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The Fifty
second congress is now in the second
month OF Its existence, yet it has not
materially advanced any legislation,
nor is the present week likely to work
any change in this particular. The
senate is waiting on the house. where
the appropriation bills must originate:
and, i'll the absence of rules comforting
the necessary authority, the house
committees are unable to report anv
measures. On the calendars of the
senate there is nothing of general inter
eSt(unless the old We'll and La Abra bill
may be thus characteriZed); and there
is little prospect of reports coming from
the committee at an early day in the
week; so that, beyond listening to
speeches and considering nominations
IN executive session, there will be little
for the senate to do.
The house has no programme of bust
ness for this week. 1t is still embarked
on the sea of general parliamentary
practice" and, until code OF rules is
framed, the course of proceedings will
depend upon the conditions that arise
from day to day. The committee have
as yet done nothing more than effect an
organization, so that it is unlikely that
any measure will be on the house cal
endars in season for action before next
week
Under the temporary order of the
house made to facilitate business prior
to the adoption of full set of rules.
Monday will be devoted to the introduce
ton of bills under call of the states.
The committee on accounts expects to
report early in the week resolution
making the usual assignment of clerk
ships to committc s. There is some op-
position to the allowance of clerks to
the smaller committees, which may lead
to a prolonged debate on the necessitv
FOR economy in expenditures.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1O.-At the bazaar lately
held in the Holy Family church there
was contest for prize between Presi-
dent Harrison's grandchild and eX-

Lakewood. N. j., Jan. 1O-My Dear Mrs

beautiful medal which you sent to our
daughter as prize in a voting contest at the
bazaar of the Holy Family church lately held
in Chicago. On behalf of the child desire
to thank you and the other kind friends who
in this contest have exhibited their good
will for the little girl and her parents. Al
though the recipient OF this handsome and
tasteful ornament is now too young to appre-
ciate its meaning and bea uty or the kindness
on the part of Chicago friends, of which it is
an evidence. they may be sure that she will
be early taught to know and remember with
gratitude the efforts of these friends in her
behalf. Yours very truly,

A SCANDAL IN 1T.
The Morocco Incident Promises
to Be Sensational.

to Be Sensational.
LONDON, Jan. 10.-A sensation has
been caused by the publication OF let
ter from a gentleman whose position
gives him opportunity for knowing the
history of affairs in Morocco, and who
hints at the probability of interesting
revelations being made as result OF
the present imbroglio between England,
France. Italy and Spain in connection
with the Tangier rebellion. The writer
says the sultan of Morocco is intensely
angry at the action of the foreign repre-
sentatives resident in his dOminionS,
and especially the British. This i'll
feeling is not without justification, as
will appear when all the facts are
known, If they ever are.
"Why," says the sultan, ''if England
is determined to crush slavery does she
appoint slave dealer to reside as an
official at one of my cities?''
This must be admitted to be peril
neut inquiry, not only from a Morocco
point of view, but in any light in which
it may be examined. The sultan goes
on to PROFOUND other embarrassing
questions.
Why" he asks. ''does England claim
exemption from taxation on commercial
transactions in slaves? Why does she
imprison my subjects and torture and
even murder them, in other cases being
content with eXtOrting ransom or them.
their only crime being that they have
publicly approved my action in only eX-
ercising my sovereign rights?"
This probably will lead TO the discov-
cry of what has been long suspected in
certain quarters. namely that some Brit
iSh official In Morocco has been abus-
ing his position to enrich himself by en-
gaging clandestinely in the slave trade,
the Moorish officers being afraid to in
terfere, not knowing how far the British
government would go in defending its
representative, who could easily make
out prima facle case of innocence. In
vestigation will, it is thought by many,
show that not only the English, but
other representatives, have been guilty
of the practices complained of by the
sultan.
