FEES OF SECRETARY OF STATE.

Mir. A. E Hebert, who has an
nounced himself a candidate for
the nomination for Secretary of
State, declares that this office Is
now receiving $4,000 year,
partly in salary, but mainly in
fees, which he thinks is unfair and
unjust, and he asks that the com
pensation be cut down The duties
Of the Secretary Of State are not
ardaous, and there is no reason
why he should receivemore than
the Governor or Attorney General,
more than the chief justice and the
entire Supreme court.
Mr. Hebert proposes to discuss
this point in the campaign, and
will "run" for Secretary of State
on platform which calls for de
cided decrease IN the fees and con-
sequently in the compensation of
the Office for which he is a candi-
date.
Whether the voters are for him
or not, they should favor, aud GER
tainly will favor, the proposition
he lays down-that the compeusa-
tion Of the Secretary of State be
reduced to the standard paid other
State officials in Louisiana. As to
the injustice of the fee system,
there has latterly been an express
sion of opinion so nearly unani
nous that no one can for a moment
entertain any doubt where the
voters stand The discussion has
not so far touched on the fees of
the Secretary of s ate, but on
those Of the sheriffs and tax collec-
tors, which it has been agreed
must be either reduced so as to
briug the compensate N of these
officials to the salary standard pre-
vailing in Louisiana or be alto
gether abolished aud the favored
official receive fixed salary instead
of an indefinite sum in fees and
commissions. No one now doubts
that this reduction will be made by
the next Legislature aud the argu-
ments which apply to the compen
sation of sheriffs apply with equal

A narrowing story comes from
Washington to the effect that ow-
ing to the advance in the price of
twine, the postmaster general has
ordered all postoffice employees to
exercise the greatest economy in
the use of twine and not to wrap it
twice around package when once
will do. 1t is pleasant to know
that there is point in the post
office department where economy
begins. The postoffice department
can pay the railroads seven days

extra cost of millions annually, and

republic by The thousands is com
ing TO be recognized hy the author
ltles Of the larger American cities
aS problem of exceeding gravity
Unknown in this country a few
years ago, the "Black Hand" mur
derer, abductor and blackmailer
has become a terror IN every city
where Italians dwell, aud the his
tory Of police efforts to deal with
them has been history of failure.
But things have come to such a
pass that American Indifference to
the atrocities committed by these
criminals must cease, action must
be taken, and IA way found to
stamp ont this particularly menac-
ing form Of the crime. The secret
murder societies that dare to carry
the "death sign into our courts
of justice; that dare to strike
down the representatives of the
law, can have no place in American
soil For them there must be ex-
termination, otherwise it is only a
question Of time when, emboldened
by success and immunity from
punishment, the operations of the
"Black Hand will be extended
and the children of rich Americans
kidnapped and held for ransom.
Several instances of the boldness
aud power of these "Black Hand"
societies have recently been report
ed in the daily papers of the coun-
try. A few weeks ago mag
istrate in New Jersey who had
sentenced one Of the criminals to
imprison ment was assassiuated by
order of the society. The other
day in New York court prisoner
was halted in his confession of |
crime by the defendant making the |
"death sign" 1t is said that the
witness was struck dumb by terror
at the dreaded signal given 80 open

failed aud the accused was found
guilty by the jury without delay.
In New York and Chicago crimes
by the "Black Hand" are daily
occurrences, but the kidnapping aud
h,rrib!c murder of the Lamana
child marks the beginning, per-
haps, of the operations in this city
Of these criminals.

it will be if the avenging hand of
