Socialism In Austria.
fPau Mall Gazette


The constant complaints which are now
coming IRON Vienna as to the distribution OF
SocAllst writings In Austria, and the recent
seizure OF parcel of such infiammatory 1T
efatuIe, may serve to direct attention to the
strange conflicts which are going on below the
surface Of that singularly eonf0unded Empire.
NOT 10 speak OF the bitter struggle between the
Liberal Impertalsts and their Conservative
Opponenfs-a contest which bids fair to be en-
blttered by race feeling unless great care s taken
-thefe are reasons enough to fear that the
relations between the poorer classes and the
Well-tO do are bv no means improving Such
an affair as that In Hungary between a couple
OF onlceiS and an unfortunate editor whom
they nearly killed rouses popular excitement to
the highest pitch. Scarcely month passes
without some significant occurrence In one or
other or the large cities which serves TO show
what Is In mems minds. Nowhere has corrup
uoI among the upper classes spread further
than In Austria Hungary OF late years. and
nowhere has this corruption been more clearly
made manifest to the world. As result, TOO,
OF the prolonged period OF depression and the
action OF the land banks and other mortssa yes
IN enforcing their Claims articles OF Suoverslye
tendency have appeared In journals where one
would scarcely expect to ind them. Tnas
there is at one and the same time a political
and social eerment, quite apart from the
dineTeEces between the various nattonaliues
whom the German element hitherto in DO yer
desires to impeTialhe.

a CONSCIENTIOUS GIRLS SACRIFICE
The following story, says the Boston Trarel-
er, is told of twO-story brick house, in the
suburbs of that city, whose doors and win
dows are nailed up, and which has never been
occupied
NEARLY thirty years ago young man built
it for his bride, intending to mortgage il and
pay for it gradually, as his worldly goods in
creased, to all of which she agreed. When
the wedding day was appointed, the trous-
seau ready and the house finished, he took
the lady out from Boston to inspect it. At
ter going over the house he presented her
with deed of it for a wedding gift. Know
ing his circumstance she was aStonished that
he had actually paid for it. lie explained
that buying a ticket in lottery, he had
drawn the first prize. which just covered the
cost of the house. The Puritan maiden pro
tested she would not take a home obtained
by gambling, and refused the deed. His ar
gnments were of no avail she remained OBJ
durate. When they left the house he locked
the door and threw the key into the brook
near by. The next day he boarded up the
windows. and only the spiders and mice have
occupied it. The man never married he
became rich, but is wanderer on the face
of the earth. The woman never married
she is still living, poor and an invalid" -"
