POORLY PAID JUDGES.
italian Legal Funotionarics Have to Squeeze
Their incomes From the Public.


In Italy any unfortunate who owes 10
per cent finds his little debt run up by
shcriffs' officers, tribunal expenses and all
the manifold charges OF notaries, attorneys
and advocates to 200 per cent before he has
time to breathe or realize his situation and
tho forced sales aro so conducted that tho
property sold produces nothing for any
ono except tho state and the auctioneers.
The state takes It's percentage first before
even tho creditors, and thus Is caused tho
avidity by which all state officials and
myrmidons drag to ruin by intrigue and
extortion u largo majority of tho Italian
taXpaying public. Note the salaries paid
to tho officials of tho tribunals in Italy,
and Judge II such officials arc not invited
and forced to ruin tho mass of the people.
Where county court judge in England
has 81, 900 or 1000 . year no receives
here tho equivalent of $40 or perhaps $50
per annum. All the lesser functionaries
are paid In proportion. Tho giudice con-
cilliatorc, who answers to tho judge dc Ia
paix in Franco, and to tho police magis-
trate in England, is paid sometimes ut tho
rate of Ego per nnnun, sometimes not at
all; the pockets of tho appellants at this
court must maintain him. 1t can readily
be understood that all these hungry func-
tionarics of the law, big and little, live on
tho public perforcc, and that almost any
iniquity or injustice may DO obtained I'M
der their rule if money be largely enough
and secretly enough expended. "Your
splendor is my dishonor," said Bacon to
his magnificent liveried serving men, who
rose to meet him when he entered court to
stand upon his trial.
Tho italian functionaries may say to tho
italian Thcmis, "That VIC have coats to
our backs and rings on our fingers is your
dishonor, for you do not pay us enough to
enable us to get either honestly" Not
withstanding this miserable pay which
they receive, Italy spends on the admins
tration of law 135, 900, 900 francs-that is
1000, 600 francs moro than France lin
comparison to the population) and 49,
600, 600 francs more than England. Tho
public who contribute all these millions
get little or nothing for their money
