JUDICIARY REFORMS DESIRED.


Attorney. General Harmon on Abuses OF
the Fec System in Courts.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Attorney.Gen
eral Harmon, in his annual report to
congress, shows that the number of
criminal cases pending in the federal
courts July l, 1895, was 12,405, an in
crease in two years of more than
1900, though in 1895 $500 cases
were disposed of, as compared with
2l,744 in 1864. The convictions dur
ing the year are shown to have
been GO per cent. of the whole num-
Der. and in government civil cases
the percentage of judgments in favor
OF the United States was SO, as COM
pared with 40 in 1894, and AZ in 1893
The expenses of the federal courts
have steadily increased from So, S6i, 1893
in 1858 to $5,62s. 223 in 1895. This is ac-
counted for in part by the fact that
since 1885 the number of places of hold
ing federal courts has increased from
1856 to 227.
The attorney general calls special
attention to the fee system in federal
courts and says that excessive and ille-
gal charges can in some measure be
avoided by watchfulness and laborious
investigation, but arrests and prosecu-
lions on frivolous charges and flimsy
proof, to which part of the increasing
expenses Of the federal courts are due,
cannot be prevented by the de.
partment Of justice. This can
be accomplished only by abolish.
ing the system which, by
making the fees of commissioners, mar.
shals, clerks and attorneys the source
of their compensation, presents con-
slant inducement to unnecessary ar
rests and litigation and annoyance and
loss of time on those involved, as par.
ties or witnesses, and indirectly works
both material and moral injury to the
public.

The Recent Outbreak of A paches in Arizona
OF Grave Importance.
PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec --latest re-
ports from the vicinity of San Carlos
agency, Ariz, indicate that the out
break of the Apaches is of more inn
portance than was at first supposed.
The bodies of four white men were
found in the lower ella valley, near
the reservation line, close to Fort
Thomas, which was recently aban.
doned by the United States troops. This
is As miles from Ash Springs, where
the Merrils were killed, SO that 1t
must have been done by a different
party of Indians, and undoubtedly a
larger band. Settlers in that section
are under arms and the troops from
Forts Bayard, Grant and Huachuca
are securing the country. The Ash
Springs murderers have been trailed
to the STEMS peak range, q favorite
locality for Apaches when they have
been doing mischief.

NEW POSTAL SYSTEM.

An Order Putting In Eject the Post once
District Plan viii soon lie Issued.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-POstmaster.
General Wilson said Saturday that the
first order putting in operation the dis.
trict system would be issued very
shortly. The plan is to make the post
office of a large city the head of a
district embracing all smaller post
offices within considerable radius.
The postmasters in the smaller
offices will become superintendent
of sub-stations or sub-districts. At
the time they are changed from post.
masters to superintendent they are to
be put under the operation of the civil
service law, like other subordinates in
the post office. Instead of reporting
to the department, as at present, they
will act directly under the postmaster
of the main office and be responsible
to him.

THE SITUATION IN TURKEY.
Tho Powers Stu In Accord on the Extra
Guard Ships.

The Powers Still In Accord on the Extra
Guard Ships.
CONsTANTINorLE, Dec. 0.-The situa-
ton here on the question of the extra
guard ships of the powers remains I'M
changed and continues to offer u trib-
ute to the powers of delay and evasion
Of oriental diplomacy, as practiced
by the Turkish government. State
ments are constantly reiterated
of the continued accord of the
powers on the subject and
their unyielding determination to
insist upon compliance with their de-
mands. Opinion continues divided as
to whether the delay in taking any ac-
ton to enforce the demands is due to
fear of causing a fanatical outbreak
against the Christians by the Mussul-
man subjects Of the Sultan, or to a
dread of clash ensuing between the
powers themselves.

A Chapter ON Matrimony.

Cupid has been reaping an abun-

week. In fact, it really seems that
the boom had began to boom, matri-
monially speaking, and we are in
clined to accept the matrimonial
boom as an indication that the fnan~
ciaf stringency was about to be num~
bered among the dead and forgotten
things of the past. In addition to the
nuptia ceremonies that had been GELS
ebrated the last week the post Christi
mas weddings were inauguratcd by
the marriage of John III Barnett and
Miss Ollie Gilbert, an accomplished
daughter of Dr.. Gilbert, which took
place at the home of the brides
parents Sunday evening, Rev. Sheldon

neer druggist of Mesa and is well

On Monday evening Miss Pearl
Robson, one of the most estimable
and handsome young ladies of Mesa,
was led to the altar by Mr.. Robert P.
Fill, of Pima county, the ceremony
taking place at the pleasant home of
the brides mother. Miss Pearl was
universal favorite with all who
knew her, because of her many noble,
womanly qualities. The gentleman
who won her is said to be a man of
many excellent business and social
habits, and has surely won bride
