THE FEE SYSTEM, Tbo Mombors of tho Houao Judl olary CJommlttoo BRE AROUSED OVER THE QUESTION And a Rill to Substitute rtalarlea for Fmi Will no tho Outcome?Mar shal*, District Attorney* ami Clerks to Do Included?Ait Kohoof Juilgo llloks' Itupoaolituent lYocoodlngs. Wamiixotok, Jan. 25.?A. mult which hu nccruod from tho Investiga lion of tho chargoi against Judge Kicks, of Ohio,sooin? to bo that it has brought promlnontly to tho notico of Congren thedofecuof tho feosyatom which ap plies to tho officors of tho United Statoi court#. Moro or loaa scattering efforts bare boon in ado in years poat by both houses to do away with tho system of compensating district attorneys, mar* shals, clerks, and commissionon by foes, which places a bounty on prosecu tions and a tendoncy of legislation has been to reduco and limit fooa for somo time. Sevoral nttornoy conorale, in cluding Brewster, Millor and Olnoy, havo recommended to Congress, that the court officials bo placod as nearly as practicable on asalariod basis aud bov oral reports have boon tuado to tho samo etlect by Congressional investiga ting committor. Tho commi**oo on tho judiciary is thoroughly aroujod on the quostion. There is a bill ou tho calendar of tho house to pay thoso otTiciala by nalarios and prominent membora of tho com mittee, among them Representatives Btono and Wolvcrton, of Pennsylvania, and Broderick, of Kansas, aro unlisted in tho movoment. Thojr say that if nothing is done by this Congroas they intend to bring tho question forward in tho Fifty-fourth Congress. Said Representative Brodoriclc: "The more attention 1 give to tho question, tho moro thoroughly I becomo con vinced that Congross ought to wipoout tho fee eystom aud adopt a plan cf pay ing salaries. I have servod ou two special committees ns a momber of Congress to investigate the system of charging fees in the Unitod States courts, tho tirst inquiry being in Boston and tho socoud in Cleveland. I havo found that no two clerks construe the law in the same way. It leads to irregularities and confusion and sub jects officials to criticism, ofton when it is hot deserved." While the limit of compensation fixod by law is $0,000 for marshals and dis trict attorneys, and $3,000 for clerks, At torney General Olney has shown that through tho numerous loopholes in tho law made by decision of the comptrol lers it is possible for clerks to obtain as much as $10,000 a year, while district attorneys sometimes attain the $20,000 mark. One of the perquisites of tho clerk's office in tho fees received for na turalization papors, which, according to decisions of the courts, need not be in cluded in tho returns of receipts made by clerks to the attorney general's office. In the bill on tho house calendor tho salaries of marshals and district attor neys are lixed at $4,000, and the salar ies of clorks to be adjudicated by tho attorney general, but not to exceed that sum. Attorney Genoral OInev has said that the bill if enacted would accom plish a great saving to the government. THE POPK'S ENCYCLICAL. It IIas licpn llelnjeil by York diatom* Itrgulatlon*. Washington, Jan. 23.?Popo Loo's long-expected encyclical extending tho power and dignity of Mgr. Satolli and defining tho status of the American church, is suspended betweon New York and Washington by the formalities of the custom office. The document ar rived on the French steamer Burgoyns. It had been expectod in tho usual course of the mail, but the precaution had been takeu to sond tho package as an articlo of express. It is expocted that the custom* formalities iuav be concluded so ns to bring the encyclical to Washington to-day or to-morrow. The ercateBt interest attachos to the declaration of the popo in this paper, and it is looked upon hs likely to bo the most comprehensive statement of the attitudo of tho Vatican towards tho Catholic church in America that has ever been made. Tho genoral foatures of the encyclical aro pretty well known, although interest is now directod to the exact language in which the pope will establish Moneignor Satolli's enlarged jurisdiction. It is certain tho document does not crento the American deiegato a cardinal. While there is no doubt of the delegate's ultimato elevation it will not be a foature of tho encyclical, tho Vatican consistory not yet having as sembled. It ii the consistory which designates cardinals, and this mooting is not expected boforo April. The chief interest in tho oncvclical lios in the onlarzod authorities it givos the American delegate. Thero is no doubt that tho dologato'a functions aro materially oxtendod with a view of givA, ing him a dignity cornmoasurato witb the extent of tlio church in Amaricn/ This will not aflect questions of faith and morals, which aro delegated from Rome. But it is likely to cover all tho internal questions betweon bishops, priosts and parishes, in which mattors of discipline aro involved. It is under stood also that the Catholic University will be a thomo to which tlfu popo will pay special attontion. Ki;i!vM)liY OFFICE*. The United Statns to Act In the Cnpnrlty of l'enceiunkor. City of Mexico, Jan. 25.?Tho United States has undortakon to play tho part of peacomaker botwoeu Moxico and Guatomala to provont war if possible. A tolograrn has boon rcceivod from Secretary Greshnni, expressing tho liopo that Guatemala and Moxico would agree betwoen themselves upon aomo method of Bottling tho disputo over tho boundary, but that if this should not "bo possible, the United States trusted tho two countries would agroo to sub mit tboir ditlorences to the arbitration j of some friondly nation. This communication from a nation with which Moxico onjoys such inti mate and friondly relations, has caused a profound impression upon tho govern ment and undoubtedly accounts in part at least for tho decision of tho ministor of foreign aflaira to withhold for flvo or ?Ix days at least tho ultimatum which it was about to dispatch in much loss time in answer to tho note from tho Gua temalan government rocoived to-day.

When it Is hud it only goes for while. The public finds It out." The above bit of valuable philos ophy is from the English publica tion called the "Idler," and there never was a truer saying. Time tests the merit of all things, and stamps its approval or disapproval. Is it not easy to see that the enormous popularity of that great est of all remedies which has been so prominently before the public for so many years?Warner's Safe Cure?Is based upon invaluabje merit? The thousands of men and women in all parts of the world who are kept alive by it? use, and the millions who find In it a means of preserving their health and pro longing their lives will answer un hesitatingly, "Yes." If you do not know the great merits of this modern medicine, if you feel depressed, languid, have peculiar pains ami other uncertain symptoms, you cannot afford to de lay, but should seek the aid which this medicine can alone give yoti. \ KIiEIN'a | ^Silver Age Rye U ^ Absolutely euro, rloh. *.
