To the Editor Of The Times:
Sir,--G notice I'm your Washington Cor
respondence. that Representative Swan
SON. is preparing bin 10 abolish the
system of fees to United States mar
shals. commissioners. and others"
/ am not connected with the govern
ment service. IN any way. but am I'm a
position TO observe the workings of the
present system of Federal government.
/ do not believe IL would be wise to
abolish the fee" system, but II might
be proper to place such restrictions
about it as 10 prevent its abuse by dis
honest officers.
The duties OF a marshal or deputy in
the United States service is not a pic
mic. excursion or holiday parade, as
many seem 10 think. but is attended with
many hardships and periious risks OF
life and health. IL Is. as a general
thing. with the base and lawless ele-
ment of the country. that they have
mostly 10 deal. No innocent and law
abiding citizen is likely 10 suffer at their
hands. and they should be we'll paid and
have ample authority TO deal with law
breakers Of every stamp. / cannot I'M
derstand why our congressman should
want 10 legislate in favor OF the evil
doors, instead of upholding and strength
ening the arms OF the law, in suppress
Ing lawlessness In all OF its evil and de-
moralizing tendencies.

Christmas evening. dark and dreary. when
all hearts were bright and CHEEKY
Made so by the long Indulgence in what
Christmas had i'm store.
Sailors on their vessels mapping. while
their sails were loosely tapping.
For their ships were safely anchored
near a wind-protected shore:
Loud the watch craft was hailing; that
came into harbor sailing
The Teutonic, nothing more.
There are some who will remember the
twenty-hfth day Of December.
And the thousand lights that glimmered
all along that Jersey shore
The Teutonic. proudly sailing often with
its whistle hailing.
with its pond'rous voice the steamships
20 had often hailed before.
on the deck lord was walking; with his
barrister was talking
OF the Defender, nothing more.
Deep into the darkness peering stood that
noble lord half fearing
He might somewhere see phantom Of
that yacht he'd seen before
And his heart was loudly beating. as in
mind he kept repeating
The lone cause Of his dcfeatng-the De
Tender, uOtnlnE more.
And he spoke IL in a whisper lest its
heat his lps might blister
Cursed Defender, nothing more
Then unto the cabin turning all his lord
~ fury burning
lie was sailing cross the self-same
course he once had sailed before
And I'm mind he kept repeating how the
Yankees won by cheating
His long sherished hope defeating. and
I'm mind he almost swore:
For his heart seemed sore and tender
'eainst that blasted yacht DOZEN
der
The Defender. nothing more.
Now. this noble lord is guessing, but no
syllable expressing.
That the cup we call America he'll take
10 foreign shore,
But. my lord if you'd be I'm IT. YOU must
try again 10 win II
BY sailing for IL Ger course. and not by

time may be close shaven,

DR.. says the filling was directed TO be
done leaving out all vegetable or ami

ont of his buggy and take the pains
he will find plenty of vegetable matter
and think few dead cats and chick

would prove deleterious 10 health: and s
for living next door 10 the swamp
that shot misses the mark by Il long way.
