ago, on his return home, had similar at

He was born In 1902, and elected TO Par

Newspapers i'm Austria.

In Austria Hungary, every newspaper
appearing more than twice a month has to
deposit cantion-money, if politics are
treated or mentioned. For Vienna, and
surroundings this depositi is fixed at $1,000;
for towns OF 10000 inhabitants, at $4,000;
for towns of 10000 inhabitants, at $4,000;
and for all other places, at $1,000; but pa
pers only appearing three times a week
need only pay half the amount. By in
tringement OF the press laws, the CautiOn-
money may be partly or wholly forfeited;
and all fines are levied on the amount,
which has again to be made up to the origi-
nal sum, If the papers are to 90 on. To
facilitate governmental control, the printer
Of every paper has to forward copies of it
to the local police, to the public prosecutor,
to the chief of the local government, to
the minister of state, to the supreme police
department, besides supplying the imperial
court library and the local court or national
libraries. The publication Of paper can
be stopped either by the police or by de-
cision of a court of law; but the transmits
sion of foreign papers by the post can only
be prohibited by order of the minister OF
state In ISL, % foreign papers were not
allowed to enter the empire, and 80 Aus
trian-llungarian papers We're debarred
from being sent by post, Moreover the
Austrian press has to submit to a stamp
duty, abolished in Hungary, but not in the
remainder of the empire though many eff
forts have been made to obtain its total
abolition; and this adds not only TO the
cost Of the papers, but necessarily restricts
the number Of readers. 1t is therefore not
to be wondeacd at if these newspapers can
not live without some sort Of eXtraneous
support; and the want Of independence of
a considerable part OF the continental press
may be traced to the constant interference
of the authorities, and to a limited rircu-
lation, which renders it impossible 10 Sc
cure the services of men Indifferent to
outside influences and satisfied with the
fair earnings Of an untettcrcd pen.
