TO ABOLISH FEES.

Movement to Cut Down the Princely
Compensation of Federal Officers.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-A result that
has occurred from the investigation of
the charges against Judge Kicks of Ohio
seems to be that it has brought promi-
nently to the notice of congress the de-
fects of the fee system which applies to
the officers of the United States court.
More or less scattering efforts have
been made in years past by both houses
to do away with the system of compen-
sating district attorneys, marshals. clerks
and commissioners by fees, which places
bounty on prosecutions, and tendency
of legislation has been to reduce and
limit fees for some time.
Several attorney generals, including
Brewster, Miller and Olnev, have recon-
mended to congress that the court offic-
ials be placed as nearly as practicable on
a salaried basis, and several reports have
been made to the same effect by congress
sional Investigating committees.
The committee on judiciary is
thoroughly aroused on the question:
There is a bill on the calendar of the
house to pay these officials by salaries
and prominent mem ers of the commit
tee. among them Representatives Stone
and Wolverton of Pennsylvania and
BrOderick of Kansas, are enlisted in the
movement They say if nothing is done
by congress they intend to bring the
question forward in the Fifty fourth
congress.
While the limit of compensation fixed
by law is $4,000 for marshals and district
attorneys and s., 900 for clerks, Attorney
General OInev has shown that through
the numerous loop holes in the law made
by decisions of the comptroller it is pos
sible for clerks to obtain as much "a
$4,000 a year, while district attorneys
sometimes attain the twenty thousand
dollar mark.
In the bill of the house calendar the
salaries of marshals and district attorneys
are fixed at $4,000 and the salaries of
clerks to be adjudicated by the attorney
general, but not to exceed that sum.

The End Is In Sight. Judging From Sur
face Indications.
BROOKLYN. n. Y, Jan. 25.-Judging
by surface indications che strike Of
electric street railways is near its
end. The peace of the city is not
fully restored and it will not be so
long as the late employees Of the trac-
ton companies have hope Of forcing
themselves back into the positions
they held twelve days ago. To these
men there was ray of light in the
decision handed down by Justice
Gaynor of the supreme court
of Queens county, in the mat
ter of the application of Joseph
Loader, a shopkee per, for a writ OF
mandamus to compel the Brooklyn
Heights railway company to operate
its lines in a manner to meet the re-
quirements of the public In the
opinion of Justice GaynOr the cor
poration is held to be in default of it's
obligations to the public, incurred by
the acceptance of the franchise for a
specific purpose; it is placed under
the imputation of having more
regards for the profits of share
holders than for the convent
enee of citizens, and it is
declared TO De the company DUTY 10
man its cars, whatever expense may
be necessary. At 10 o'clock to-day
the court will hear counsel upon the
question whether the writ shall be
peremtory or alternative, or, in other
words. whether the company shall be
required to engage full complement
of operatives forthwith. regardless of
the question of wages and hours of
labor, and whether it shall be direct
ed to do the best it can under the cir
cumstances.
Traffic is not yet continued through
the night, as it was before the strike.

WIN THE COMMON PEOPLE.
DR.. Parkhurst's Advice to the Civic Fed
Grafton Of Chicago.

DR.. Parkhurst's Advice to the Civic Fed
Grafton Of Chicago.
CHICAGO, Ill, Jan. 25.-In an address
delivered in the Auditorium by DR.. Park
hurst, to the friends of good government,
he said:
while of course this enterprise will
best be prosecuted by limited number
ON the principle that the anger needs to
be accumulated at the point where it en-
tiers, yet it is matter wherein you need
the backing of all classes so far as you
can get it Let me caution you to make
your movement comprehensive enough
to win the confidence and support of ev-
cry stratum of society. We do not want
to dIsparage respectability am writ
ing the word now with quotation
marks-but too much responsibility in
lump is fatal in a community as CON-
posite as yours You will have to touch
the popular heart or you will fail Our
success in New York was due to the fact
that our movement was learned to be also
IN the interests of the poor, the distress
ed, and those whe were born, or whose
parents were born on the other side of
the sea-in Germany, Italy, Poland, Rus
STA and Bohemia; and it was the votes of
that class of people that made victory
possible last November. If you are GO
ing to win the hearts of these people you
will have to GO into it as q matter of
heart and not merely as a matter of
policy. You understand that il is the
poor as well as the rich that are suffering
from the present situation, and you will
draw them from bad alliances by demon
strating to them the practical advantage
that will accrue to them from contracting
alliances that are better.
If you viii persuade them not only
hot rharx ~ i, r-ff
that is more decent, but a city that will
be more comfortable for all classes Of
people to live in city whose more eco
nOmIcal administration will reduce taxes,
and city where the taxes VIII be so as
sessed that paying the tax commissioner
or his pal" consideration Will not re-
lieve the millionaire from his just pro-
portion and so throw a heavier burden
upon the pockets of the impecunious
Ii you will put the whole matter in
simple and transparent shape before the
less prosperous classes of your city, and
show them that decent people will look
more carefully after their interests
than the rascals and bloodsuckers will
that are befriending them now. you will
win from them all the backing that your
cause needs and deserves. | urge upon
you also that you should let it be part of
the civic gospel of this community that
every citizen should count himself to be
a privileged and active member of the
city corporation. That is part of the
genius of our American Institutions If
there is any one thing that makes me
angry to the extent of causing me to wish
that l could write a new dictionary that
would give me words that would do
justice to the way l felt it is to have the
official classes spurn our interference,
and complain of US for exercising our
God-given right of keeping tab on them
We are where we are because we have
kept tab on them"

COX'S TURN NOW.
Representative Cox is Preparing
a Currency Bill.
Bill Springer is Helping Him
Fix It.
COIN THE BULLION.
That's What it Proposes and
Carlisle is Willing.
COIN THE BULLION.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The details
of the amended financial plan which
Messrs- Springer and Cox and others
OF the banking committee are dis
eussing with Secretary Carlisle were
learned yesterday
They had a long conference with
the secretary. and are of the opinion
that the notifications to his plan
meet his sanction The most radical
of the new proposition for which Mr..
Cox stands sponsor is that for the
coinage of silver. It contemplates
the cancellation of the Sherman
notes when received at the treasury,
and the issue of silver certificates in
denominations of 81, s. and IS, or Of
silver dollars if the receivers prefer.
To back these silver certifca ties it is
proposed to coin all the bullion in
the treasury, which including S54 OO0,-
600 seigniOrage, amounts to S1S1, 0OO,-
COO 1t IS calculated not more than
$40 600 600 can be coined in a year.
The changes in the banking features
of the plan provide that, while the
banks shall hold the same re-
serve as now required, one half
shall be in legal tender greenbacks
or Sherman notes Representative
Cox explains this arrangement would.
relieve the treasury of the raids upon
the gold made possible by the large
volume of the outstanding notes,
since it would dispose OF $500, OoO 900
of notes by using them to form the
basis of banking and 500. 900, 600 for
reserves in banks 1t is conceded
that it might be necessary to empow-
er the secretary to issue low rate
bonds to protect the treasury against
large Withdrawals of gold.

A Man Has His Head split to the Ears and
Lives.
SEATTLE, Wash, Jan 25-Of all the
peculiar and interesting cases the saw
mills of Puget Sound have sent to this
city, none compares with that of Horatio
i. Stetson, an engineer in Stelson 6
Posts mill, whose mead was cut half in
two yesterday morning by a rip saw.
Stetson was the engineer, and also assist
ed his brother Leroy at times in fixing
the machines in the planning mill
By chance a small feed belt came off
and Stetson stopped under the table to
tx it. He ran his head against the saw,
and in less than the twinkIing of
an eye his head was cut straight across
the top, just in front of the ears. The
saw went down into the brain fully three
inches, the point of exit on either side of
the head being on a level with the tops
of the ears. Stetson crawIed out from
under the table and was grabbed by his
brother, who clapped the two pieces of
his head together The brother says
that blood and brains were coming
from his head, which looked as if 1t was
falling apart"
The wounded man was hurried to the
hospital and went through the trephin-
ing operation and was put TO bed. At
last accounts there Was no Indication of
fever setting Ia.
Many physicians do not wonder at his
being alive but they are mystiied at his
being possessed of all his mental facul-
ties and regaining the control of his
limbs, having good appetite and being
Perfectly normal in all other conditions
