THE MISERABLE FEE SYSTEM.
United States Commissioners and Dep
uty Marshals Making Cases on
Flfmsy Testimony

IVY -hoEohaAS &udhIhS Eases Oh
Flimsy Testimony.
In the United States District Court|
at Charleston, S. c., on Wednesday,
Judge Brawley delivered a very SEN
sationnl charge to the grand jury Just
completing its work. At this term of
the court the Jury have bad to find no
bills agaInst many of the parties indict-
ed, and it was becoming notorious that
United States commissioners and mar
shals were making cases on fiimsy testi-
mony in order to get the fees. Judge
Brawley devoted his attention to this
subject. In the course of very strik-
ing charge he said: your findings
have demonstrated that nine-tenths of
the prosecutions under section 3,242
have no merit in them; that they have
not been inspired by any proper desire
to advance the cause of justice, but
by the greed of miserable wretches
who have sought to make money out of
them. Some of these men have already
been brought to trial and convicted OF
perjury and others doubtless will be;
but this evil, which has reached the
proportions of gross public scandal,
cannot be erndicGted by the punish
ment of a few obscure rascals. A new
crop will undoubtedly spring up unless
some means can be devised for reach
ing the root of it. This lies in the fee
system.
'My observations on this bench
have satisfied me that more than half
OF the prosecutions under this section
in the lower tier of counties, would
say fully nine-tenths of them-are in
stigated or promoted by the deputy
marsbals. l must do Marshal Hunter
the Justice of saying that he has
promptly removed every deputy who
has been known to be engaged in this
kind of business, but there are un-
doubtedly many persons now on his
lists who ought to be removed and
would be if the truth could be dis
covered, and 7 do not desrair of seeing
the badge of a deputy marshal one of
honor, as it should be. Those who
hold the commission of this govern
ment ought to be above the suspicion
of doubtful acts, and the men who dis
grace the service should be removed.
They impair the usefulness of and bring
discredit upon the brave and honest
AiiSh WIZ hiS ob VIC Iolls ucSe oI-
ticials and these worthless witnesses
would be powerless for evil If the COM
missioners did not lend too ready an
ear to the tales that are brought to
them.
'Tle circuit Judge whose
long experience on this bench
opened his eyes to these evil practices,
as mine have been opened in the last
year or two, joined with Inc six months
ago in a circular to- the United States
commissioners giving advice and in
| structions in this class of cases. The
instructions have had little effect. HUI
man nature has been too strong for
them. / say it with pain, for l would
not willingly hurt their feelings, and
they are all quite up to the average in
| character and conscientiousness. but
the wretched system which makes
their income to depend upon the num-
ber of warrants issued makes it very
hard indeed for them to turn q deaf
ear and stern face to those who bring
girls! to their mill"

Because he had palpitation OF the
heart. Mr.. A. J. Allen determined to
quit smoking. He thought the to-
bacco habit was the cause OF his
trouble. but when he ceased smoking
the pulsations Of the heart were
more violent than ever. Mr.. Allen is
registered chemist OF Lynn, Mass,
and at second thought he concluded
that, IL tobacco wasn't the cause, 1t
must be acute dyspepsia. His
knowledge of chemistry naturally
prompted him to take Ripans
Tabules. well knowing their efficacy
in disorders OF the stomach, liver
and bowels. Quick relief followed.
and now there is no more distress in
the region OF his heart. But tho re-
markable part OF Mr.. Aliens exper-
fence follows: He decided to forego
smoking anyhow, and discovered
that Ripans Tabules not only salts
fed the longing for tobacco, which
all smokers are familiar with, but at
first he actually looked forward with
pleasure to the three periods each
day when he took the Tnbules. Mr.
Allen no longer smokes, and has no
desire 10, nor does he take the
Tabules. He is u we'll man. and does
not need medicine OF any kind. Mr..
Alien believes Ripnns Tabules will
prove a powerful aid to any man who
desires to abandon the tobacco
habit.

Since 1878 there have been nine epi. denies in different parts of the country in which Chsmberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhes Remedy was used with perfect success. Dysentery, when epi. demic, is almost as severe and dangerous as Asiatic cholera. Henceiorth the best effort of the most skilled physicians have failed to check it's rsvsges, this remedy, however, has cured the most malignant cases, both of children and adults, and under the most trying conditions, which proves 1t to be the best medicine in the world for bowel complaints.
