WHERE WOMAN ESCAPES.
Female Criminals Are Leniently Deal
with In Austria.

In Austria woman is never a Grim
inal. She may murder, steal, burn and
SANDER without fear of coming to the
gallows. She is not sent to an ordinary
prison for her sins, the worst that can
befall her being the taking up of her
abode for time in some convent.
The convent to which Vienna sends
her erring sisters is only few miles ont
of town. The building was once a
castle and there is nothing about it TO
indicate that it is prison The codr
yard stands open all day long and their
is never guard in sight. The door
keeper is pretty little :.un whOna
good-sized criminal could pick upunter
one arm. The superior is tall, grace
full woman who moves with. the dignity
of a gentlewoman, but who is business
to her finger tips.
During the day the so or more women
prisoners assemble in large, cheerful
room where they engage in various c'
equations. Some make match boxesG
buttons; others make fine lace, en-.
broidery or wool work. \ nun withs
strong, decided face is the present cen
sor of manners and morals. She sits
in the room on raised platform 70
guard against the frequen, outburstsd
temper which disturb the serenity Of
the day occasionally.
The women there at present, says
writer, are so kindly and gentle in aF
pearance and differ so completely from
ones preconceived notion Of criminals
that il is hard to believe them TO b
hardened characters. An insignifcsni
little woman with gentle, deprecating
smile is in the convent because she las
committed more murders than she has
fingers on her hands. There is no pee
else to put her.
One of the prisoners is delieas
blonde girl with heavenly blue eyes az
an enchanting smile. She set hous
on fire with the hope of killing mn
and his five children. This was accr
dentally referred to in her hearing one
day, and il there had been knife hand!
there is no doubt she would have killN

The New Berne IN. CD Chronicle In
its FIRST issue denies that American
lumber has been affected by tarin
change, and says:
eSince the tariff was removed less
lumber has been shipped from Canada
than for any like period when lumber
was protected. The demand
is too slight the supply too great
consequence, slump in the lumber In
dustries. -. Lumber, like all
other things manufactured in the
United States. has fallen in price be-
cause OF underconsumption. Give the
consumers their just deserts-an hon

mills but all the mills and factories
will resume work. for the consumers
will have the means with which TO buy
homes. Under our present gold stan
dard-having at least one-half less
than money enough with which TO do
the business of the nation-we may ex-
pect continuation OF hard times and

urer OF Philadelphia became well
acquainted with Mr.. Seyd and with his
brother, Richard Seyd, who. under
stand, is yet living. visited London
thereafter every year, and with each
visit renewed my acquaintance with
Mr.. Seyd. In February, 1874. while on
one of these visits, and while his guest
at dinner, /. among other things, allad-
ed to rumors afioat of parliamentary
corruption, and expressed astonish-
ment that such corruption should ex-
ist. In reply to this he told me he
could relate facts about the corruption
Of the American congress that would
place 1t far ahead of the English par
lament in that line. After dinner ne
invited me into another room, where
he resumed the conversation about
legislative corruption. He said: II
you will pledge me your honor os a
gentleman not to divulge what ! am
about to tell you while l live. I will
convince you that what said about the
corruption of the American congress
is true" gave him my promise, and
he then continued: Il went to Ameri-
ca in 1S72-73, authorized to secure, II
could, the passage Of a bill demonetiz-
ing silver. 1t was to the interest OF
those whom l representative govern
ors of the Bank of England-to have II
done. l took with me 100000, nth
instructions If that was not sufficient
to accomplish the object, to draw for
another 100000, or az much more as
was necessary. I saw the committees
of the house and senate and paid the
money and stayed in America until
knew the measure was safe. Your peo-
pie will not now comprehend the Ear
reaching extent OF that measure, but
they will in after years. Whatever you
may think Of corruption in the English
parliament, assure you | would not
have dared to make such an attempt
here as did in your country"
Such, in brief, is the crime OF 1873
| the crime which the people OF thC
United States are clamoring to have
undone; crime which, in the Language
OF Mr.. Carlisle, would ultimately en-
tail more misery upon the human rae
than all the wars, pestilences and fam
ines that ever occurred in the histor,
OF the world"

Arbitration

I desire to give special emphasis to
the plank which recommends such leg
islation as is necessary TO secure the
arbitration OF differences between en-
ployers engaged in interstate commerce
and their employees. Arbitration Is NOT
a new idea--it Is simply an extension
OF the court OF justice. The laboring
men OF the country have expressed a
desire for arbitration. and the railroads
cannot reasonably object TO the decl.
sions rendered by an impartial tribunal
Society has an interest even greater
than the interest Of employer or en-
ploye, and has a right 10 protect itself
by courts Of arbitration against the
growing Inconvenience and embar-
rassment oecasioned by disputes be-
tween those who own the great arteries
OF commerce on the one hand and the
laborers who operate them on the 9th.

The Producers of wealth

Labor creates capital. Until wealth
Is produced by the application OF brain
and muscle to the resources OF the
country there Is nothing TO divide
among the non-produclng classes OF
society. Since the producers OF wealth
create the nations prosperity in time
Of peace. and defend the nations flag
in time OF peril. their interests ought
at all times to be considered by those
who stand in official positions. The
Democratic party has ever found Its
voting strength among those who are
proud to be known as the common
people. and It pledges Itself 10 propose
and enact such legislation as "a neces-
sary to protect the masses in the free
exercise OF every political right and in
the enjoyment Of their Just share OF the
rewards Of their labor.--w. J. Bryan.
