The jews iu Vienna,

There is probably no place i'll all
Europe, or indeed in Asia or America, which
contains so many and SO influential Jews as
Vienna. They are said to number not far
from 100000 and they hold many of the prom
inent and important places in the community.
In commerce they are very powerful, the
trade Of the capital being largely in their
hands. Many of the leading firms are Jewish
and the banking business is almost entirely
controlled by Jews. The press is for the most
part written, managed, and directed by Jews;
many Of the musicians vienna is nothing if

Jews: and protest women are Jewesses.

The Exclusion of Passengers by sunday

We printed, in yesterdays SUS, n despatch
from Hartford to the effect that persons
coming into that city by Sunday trains
wonl! be excluded from Mr.. MooDY's sun
day meetings. This was be ACCOMPLISHED
indirectly, by shutting out all who do not
hold tickets of admission Tho Valley Rail-
road Company had advertised to run n
train from Saybrook to Hartford on Sunday.
This was to accommodate those living at
Saybrook and along the line Of the road.

wheel, for example, means in one county

| grading labor in another county IL means

! too, the convict may be required In one place
to break ten quintals Of stone each day,
while in another place just double that
amount of work may be imposed on him.
In some counties a triiling stipend is allowed
the prisoner for his labor; elsewhere he gets
nothing The same distinctions exist in re-
gard to food and clothing. and the interior
arrangements OF prison life. The result is
an inequality so Migrant that TO an English
convict under the present system the mo-
mcntous question l. not the penalty. but the
prison where that penalty Is to be inflicted.
II Is claimed that these faults are inscp-
arabic from state Of things where each
penal institution Is controlled by n local
board OF justices Of the peace The new
legislation proposes TO put an end to such
abuses 10y concentrating the management of
all prisons in the hands Of the Homo Sccrc-
tary. In the first place. the number of cs-
Establishments is TO be reduced onc-half, and
II is thought that large economies will re-
suit from this suppression. Productive in
tional trcadwhccl. Hcnccforward IL will
require the concurrence of two justices to
impose for offences against discipline the
punishment OF solitary confinement, and
the duration Of this penalty is cut down
from % to IA days. A broad distinction is
for the first time established between the
treatment Of persons under arrest and the
treatment Of convicts. We regret Ia add
that notwithstanding the strenuous efforts
Of some members, the House Of Commons
refused TO sanction the suppression Of cor
poral punishment, and accordingly the cat
o'-nine-tails may still be employed in Eng
lish prisons.
1t Is certain, however that uniformity Of
treatment and discipline will be secured iy
the new law. As before stated. on April Of
the current year. the administration Of all
the penal institutions will hc transferred To
a Prison Board. placed under the immediate
authority Of the Home Department. This
bureau will appoint inspectors, whose bust
ness 1t is to visit the prisons. and see to 1t
that the rules OF the central board are faith
fully carried out Hcnccforward. too. the
Home Secretary will appoint all prison en-
ployccs, a privilege heretofore exercised by
the local Justices Of the peace. The latter
are still allowed to act a. independent vs-
tors. but their authority in the premises is
entirely abolished.
There is no doubt that many decisive inn
provcmcntS are contemplated 10y the Prison
act passed at the last session. and it may be
that unity Of authority was essential TO
their Introduction. Nevertheless, the new law
must be regarded as another striking indca-
tion of that ccntralzng spirit which is fast
lcvclling the old landmarks Of county indie

the distribution OF the troops to protect the
