How it Has Been Abused the Local Courts. The reform inaugurated, by Chief Welker in the fee business is one that will certainly be commendable. From a time when "the- memory rnnneth no1, contrary thereto, the enstonjof taxing IL9Q, policemans fee in making arrests of all kinds has been practiced Custom alone has rendered it permissable, bnt it has been none the less illegal.

A strict construction of the statute allows bnt 80 cents in all cases where a trial is held and the arresting officer is a witness. For instance, a man is arrested for assault or intoxication, and he enters a plea of guilt. There is, of course, no trial, consequently no witness fees and the arresting officer is entitled only 80 cents. Bnt if the party arrested stands trial and the officer is called witness, then he is allowed the usual witness fee of 1 and mileage, making a total of 1.90. The custom baa been as stated before, to make no distinction in these matters and whether the party enters a plea of guilt, or is tried for an offense, the 3L90 is taxed up for the arreesing offioer, juBt the same.

Hereafter in the police courts, there will be no taxing of feea for the benefit of police, bnt if fees are taxed and paid in, they will be covered into the general fund of the city. This will remove all incentive for officers to arrest men simply Tor what there i in it. Anderson Democrat. Sag Mot Attention.

During the season of 1866, the Cheyenne Indians, who abounded in this wilderness, suddenly broke ont in fierce warfare, spreading destruction and death wherever they went. One day a large body of the savages Attacked the American Ranch, killing the husband, burning the buildings and eorrall, and butchering the cattle.1 The captured the wife and children taking them into the mountains, subjecting them to all the hardship and tortures which their savage minds oonld 'oonooct A few days afer their captures one of the Indian Kicked jUm Utile taught' In such matuer that she died of the injuries?

If that alley is in good condition, then go tbon and bold a jollification meeting, foe yon are Bnrely in luck. Yesterday afternoon the natives were out and kicking. Their alleys were the object of condemnation. A Newsman waa led around for many hour, having the holes of filth pointed out to him and asking that each and all be given a separate and distinct condemnation. It would take a whole page and then the half would not be told.

Right np in town they are their worst right back of the old Baptist church and it ia almost impassable. It should by all means receive the attention of the council and the Board of Health. Some parties on West 13th street wer recently prosecuted for maintaining a nuisance. They paid their fine bnt it ia still in the same unhealthy and filthy condition. It is not prosecution that the people want but action.

They want the staff cleared away before it gets bad and the poison contained therein boiled There are hundreds of premises in and ebontihe city that should -be cleared up. They are a diagraoe to the city- and should receive official attention. The only real remedy whereby the accumulation about the eity can be all cleared np and pnt ont of the way ia a crematoiy. Born it up, and then it is gone. Damp it anywhere that yon wish and it can not help bnt breed disease and death.

When the council do their part, the people mast lend a hand and assist ia every way possible. With all working in this way, matters can be placed in mnch better shape than they are at the present time, and the sooner the better. Now in tjbe end, dont worry the reporters about them They can not do you any good and yon simply impose on their valuable time. ltev. Win.
