The Black Hand scoundrels who prey
upon the Italians in this country are
finding out very much to their dis
comfiture that this country is differ
ent from sunny Italy, and that they
cannot practice their crimes here with
the same impunity that they did in
Sicily. In the Brooklyn Court recently
Joseph Suffaro, who had been black
mailing Italians out of sums OF money
varying from 800 to $500. was given
the extent of the law, with the Judge
regretting that IL months and 29 days
in the penitenGary was the umost that
he could give him. The penitentiary
officials will see, however, that Mr.. Suf-
faro does not have any holiday while
he is there. The police have been pay
ing special attention to the known Ital-
ian ruffians who carry concealed wea-
pons and are making it quite warm for
them. Several have been sentenced to
the penitentiary. An Italian who had
only been four months in the country
attempted to cut the diamond ear
rings from the ears of a young Jewess
in New York. but was knocked down
by some of the bystanders. who would
not be intimidated by his knife. and a
policeman arrested him. saving him
with great difficulty from the mob
which tried to kill him. Three of the
Black Hand operators were shot down
by man whom they had blackmailed
and then attacked because he would
not pay their demands.

Senator JEFF Davis has promised that
while he is in the Senate he viii do
nothing to "endanger or destroy that
proud place Arkansas justly holds
among her sister States" The main
question is what Senator Davis would
consider such an act. As Governor OF
the State of Arkansas he has done
great many things that most people
consider unbecoming an official of that
dignity, and he may, and probably has,
quite as lax ideas as to what may be-
come a Senator from Arkansas and tie
dignity of the same.

"INTERsTATE BIRDS,

Sydney c. Fisher, of Philadelphia,
has begun a campaign for Government
care of Interstate birds He says among
other things:
Il suppose shall be laughed at for
comparing ducks to business enter
prise. But let us see. pair of can
vasbacks coming from their breeding
place in Alaska at the rate of 80 miles
an hour, crossing the State lines of the
Dakotas, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana.
Ohio. Pennsylvania and alighting in
Chesapeake. Bay, are a commodity of
definite money value. for when shot
they are worth in the Philadelphia
market at least 81 for the pair. They
weigh about 10 pounds. and cost 40
freight from Alaska to the Chesapeake.
They cost merely the expense of shoot
ing them, and L doubt if any Interstate
railroad hau!s much freight except gold
dust and diamonds, that. pound for
pound, is more valuable than these In
terstate birds.
Figure it out any way you like on
the canvasbacks, the redheads. the
black ducks, the mallards, the broad
bills or the sprigtails, it is all the same
thing. Every year they are passing
through the air going from or return
ing to the north, crossing scores of State
lines, flying freight, the fastest in the
world, worth from 50 to 81 pair in
fixed value, and perhaps $50 or 500 a
pair in the other value which l have
mentioned. Multiply these figures by
hundreds of thousands, or whatever you
decide the numbers of the annual flight
to be. Do you mean to tell ma that
when shiftless, unthinking or criminal
persons threaten to destroy and exter-
inmate all this value on its Interstate
passage III the air that there Is any less
reason for giving Congress authority to
protect 1t than for giving them author
ity to regulate Interstate freight carried
along the ground?"

After all it would be bad for South
Carolina TO change her Senator at this
time. With all Benjamin r. Tillman's
faults he has made better Senator for
her than any that she has had since
the Reconstruction Period. He has
been the only one who has been able
to take a National view of matters, and
he is one of the very few Senator'S in the
South to-day who can rise at any time
above local and partisan bigotry and
see events in the light of the whole
country

The heart of st. Louis would seem af-
fiicted with fatty degeneration or some
thing like that. Mr.. Ernest E. Wood
says that the district he claimed to rep
resent comprised the heart of the busi-
ness and residential sections of the city
of st. Louis" Yet in one ward it was
shown that there were more votes cast
than there were men, women and chill
dren in it, and Mr.. Wood has lost his
seat. 1t would seem that Gov. Folk has
one job OF house-cleaning yet undone.
