PEEPING TOMS OF VIENNA.
The Scandal Created by Pretty
Woman Making Her Toilet.

LONDON, September 1.-The public
moralists of Vienna have been much
shocked at the conduct of Frau Rose, the
handsome spouse of Herr Schatfer, who
keeps an outitters shop in the lower
part of his house. The front windows of
the residence command the street, while
those in the rear look out on private
garden. The lady was summoned before
the public authorities charged with hav-
ing committed an otfense against public
decorum and and morality by appearing
semi. clad condition at the back win
dows, where she was observed by the
neighbors somewhat under the conditions
of Venus rising from the sea. Frau
Scilatfer is said to be the handsomest wo-
man in Vienna and the compliments be-
lieved that a repetition Of the otfense
would be fatal to the morals of young
men in the neighborhood The defense
was that the lady was simply making her
toilet with the window open. The judge
summed up the case with great dellbera-
ton. "If," said he, "she had looked
out of the front window, the scandal
would have been public and an Of
fense against the law would have been
committed, but as she only appeared at
the back windows the case was different" "
The fair defendant was dismissed with a
warning and recommended for the future
to pull down the blinds before commen-
cling her toilet.

CRY TREASURER Buck has disposed of
$455, 600 in short time bonds. These
bonds are payable five years hence, and
are issued to meet the cost of that por-
tion of the pavements that is to be paid
for by the owners of the adjacent prop
erty. Now it is well known that the
owners of such property may at their op-
tion pay the entire paving tax as soon as
it is levied if they do not wish to avail
themselves of the privilege of paying in
five yearly installments. Many of our
heavy property owners who own perhaps
more than one-half of all the lots within
the paving district in the business center
have, we are informed, paid their paving
tax in full rather than pay seven per
cent. interest on the unpaid balance.
If onehalf of the $455, 900
levied as paving tax this season is
paid in by the property owners the city
treasurer will have about 1927 900 on
hand for five years. The question is
what will we do with that money? The
property owners have cut off their seven
per cent by paying the taxes in ad.
vance, while the city is paying five and
six per cent on the bonds.
How will the city raise tho
money to make good thisinterest sccount2
At five per cent on 1926, 900 the interest
on the short time bonds would amount
70 Sl1, ,250 per annum or $4,000 in a
period of five years. That amount can
not be levied against the property as a
paving tax where the owner has paid
his taxes in full. 1t cannot be levied
against the property whose own
ers pay seven per cent interest
on their unpaid paving tax and it cannot
| be legally taken out of the general fund.
1t seems to us, therefore, that the treas
urer should be re luired to reinvest this
surplus from time to time in other short
time paving bonds, when this can be
done, or in bondsof the United Statesup.

time. AS it is now the city treasurer has

Ing five and ak per cent on bonds. Itis
the duty of the mayor and council to re,

as to the amount actually on hand in each
fund, and whenever there is surplus in
any fund that is not needed, and could be
safely invested in interest bearing securi
ties, the treasurer should be directed tc
so invest, This policy is dictated by

entirely uncalled for. Mr.. Himebaugh
simply desired our Omaha officials to

100000 inhabitants, the same result can
be accomplished in city with half that

republish the regulations recently pub
lished by the authorities of Minneapolis.

THE pernicious effect of the convict
labor contract system upon free labor is
well illustrated by the disastrous compe-
tition that has resulted in Joliet, Illinois,
between free labor and the penitentiary
conyicts. A large Withdrawing estab.
lishment which Is in direct competition
with the prison contractors, who pay only
fifty-fve cents per day for labor, has been
obliged to reduce the wages of its opera
tives. OF course the employees of this
wire-drawing factory are indignant over
this reduction, but they should remenb sr
that their employers have in this instance
been obliged to meet the competition of
the prison contractors by reduction of
wages, or else abandon their bus
iness in which they have invested a
great deal of capital. The laboring men
of Illinois, who are thus put on an equal
ity with penitentisry convicts, should
make vigorous protest against the con.
tract system, which destroys the value OF
their labor; and manufacturers, whose
business is virtually ruined, should assist
them il. the movement in every possible
manner. Manufacturers and workingmen
are alike interested in the abolishment
of the prison contract system. 1t has
been done away with In many of the
states, but it ought not to Re allowed to

FORT OMAHA, Sept. 18th, 1894.
Editor of THE BEE.
In answer to my question-Is q soldier
allowed to vote you refer me to sectious
third and fourth of article fourth of the
constitution Of the state Of Nebraska.
Sec. 3, Art. 4, of the constituti ion of the
state reads: "The supreme court shall
have appellate jurisdiction only, except
in cases relating to revenues, mandamus,
quo warrants, habeas corpus,
and such cases as may be tried before it,;
and both the supreme and district courts
shall have both chancery and common
law jurisdiction, and section fourth of
the same article has reference to judci-
airy only. Will the editor of the BEE
please explain. Respectfully yours,
w. B. OvERroN.
Mr.. Overton is a very smart aleck. If
he had the constitution of Nebraska why
didn't he consult it in the first place. In
the second place, after he had got an
intelligent answer from The BEE, why
does he take advantage Of a technical
mistake in order to make our answer ap-
pear ridiculous2 THE BEE, in answering
his question, did refer to section ,, of
article ", but this was a typographical
error. The sections quoted are in article
VII. headed "Rights of Suffrage" in
stead of article IY. Any intelligent per-
son who has copy of the state constitu-
ton could have informed himself on that
subject without imposing on the news
papers. The BEE is always accommoda-
ting, but when We are asked to explain
why this question of suffrage is not in
the article on judiciary, we are forcibly
reminded of the aoage "that.a fool can
ask questions which it would puzzle a
wise man to answer"
