SHERIFFS FORM
 A STRONG LOBBY.

The fees of public officers are fixed by general statutes in the code. Let the Legislature attempt 10 alter one figure in the general law regulating fees, and you would find the lobby filled with the Sheriffs' and Clerks Association, supple mented by all the other office-holders appealing to the inviolability of the per quistes of the office-hoders trust under the new Constitution. I am not now pre- pared to say the appeal would not be sound, but if 1t proved unavailing there, we would find the trust appealing to the courts to uphold its unrighteous claims to throttle public sentiment.
 We have lived supinely so long that our liberties have slipped away from us without our knowing it. In the name of white supremacy we have suffered griev- ous wrongs to be inflicted upon white people, without prote for so many years that we have lost our spirit. Now that the terror of negro supremacy has been removed, it behooves every good citizen to become a watchman on the tower, to assert his rights and denounce public wrongs, to see that men who are elected to the Legislature represent a public sentiment in the counties for the public good and to bear in mind the trite but true maxim, that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty"
 Let us join issue with the office-holders and try 1t out. and have it determined once and for all who control, the people or the office holders trust You need have no fear of the result if the great body of the people are only informed as to the truth.

BODY OF MEN
 PERPETUATE TRJST.

While all this was going on a body of men living on the public were proceeding quietly, but vigorously and with great fixedness of purpose to perpetuate trust to unreasonably maintain prices for pub lie service, and to put them above and beyond the reach of the Legislature and the people. The thing was bad enough, Heaven knows, before the new Constitu- tion was adopted, but now it is simply disgraceful-for the attempt has been made, and is at present successful, to tie the hands of both legislators and voters alike, against relief.
 This octopus is known as the Sheriffs and Clerks Association, and its aVowed purpose Is to prevent the Legislature from reducing fees, or tampering with the fee system. Every session of the Legislature, since the organization of these associations, has seen its lobby there cajoling and threatening and dic- tating to the members of the Legislature
 There was never better illustration of the cohesive power of public plunder. Excuses might be found for these things, but when the octopus put its greedy paws upon the organic law ana left It's indellible mark of shame upon the new Constitution, 1t gave conclusive evidence of the shamelessness of its pur- poses. and should call down the just condemnation of all right minded citi- zens.
 have only recently made a careful ex- animation of the new Constitution, ana I desire to call the attention of the public to two sections in proof of my asser- tions.
 Section 13S, after providing for the cleo tion of Sheriffs, contains the following proviso: Provided. that the terms of all Sheriffs expiring in the year nineteen hundred and four are hereby extended until the time of the expiration of the terms of the other executive officers of this State in the year nineteen hundred and seven, unless sooner removed"

VOLUNTARY GIFT
 OF TWO YEARS TERM.

This IS a voluntary gift of a two years term to every Sheriff in the State, and was inserted, as is well known because 1t was necessary in order to secure the support and influence of these patriotic Sherffs and their followers for the new Constitution.
 I am not disposed to criticise the mem- bers of the convention for voting for it. for it was done under compulsion; and to secure the new Constitution was worth almost any price, for it has given us the opportunity to be free.
 But not content to trust the Legisla- ture, as ordinary citizens are perforce compelled to do, the great army of office holders joined in the movement and had inserted in the new Constitution section 2S1. which is as follows:
 "The salary, fees or compensation of any officer holding any civil office of profit under this State, or any county or municipality thereof. shall not be in creased or diminished during the term for which he shall have been elected or ap- pointed"
 provision, and, like a remnant in dry goods store, it was stuck away among the miscellaneous things in the Constitu- tion-in the job-lots as it were-where 1t would escape critical observation. I do not know what he fact is, but I feel have right to assume that this section was inspired and put into the Constitu- ton by motives equally as patriotic as those which gave each of the Sheriffs a bonus of a two-year term.

DOES NOT KNOW
 HIS FUTURE POLICY.

"In case the bill for my relief does not pass Congress I do not know exactly what I will do. I would hate more than anything to resign from the navy and lose my connection altogether for some day there may be other calls for duty and I want to keep in line so I may re- turn to my post as an officer without de- lay This can only be done by my re- tirement.
 "I have steadfastly refused any and all offers from managers and syndicates to go upon the lecture platform regularly. Recently I refused an offer of $5O,0OO from Major Pond to deliver a series of lectures throughout the country.
