PENSIONERS IN AUSTRIA

Such Of the old people as have cl othes
of their own or have friends willing to
provide them with clothes wear them.
while the less fortunate are supplied
by the poor law department with what
they require. In the latter case the
dress, though as plain as possible, is
warm and comfortable. and of the
kind worn by the artisan class-of
dark gray or brown homespun or dark
colored serge. 1t is not uniform-in-
deed, as it is made in the build
ing, it is exceedingly probable
that they who wear it, at least
in deciding it's fashion. With the ex-
ception of the invalids, all are required
to keep their clothes in good repair
tion to their personal appearance
These are points which, especially in
Vienna, are strongly insisted upon, for
the city does not choose to have it's old
pensioners going about dirty or in
rags. The hall porter has strict orders
to allow no one to go out until he has
"tidied up" and this regulation is
warmly approved by the majority of
the inmates themselves. To an out.
slider it certainly seems superfuous,
for most of the old people are the very
picture of neatness. They all appear
to have a good supply of clothes.
One of the inmates of the Prague
home insisted on showing me his
wardrobe. In addition to the rough
gray suit he was wearing, he had pair
of dark trousers and waistcoat, ali in
thoroughly good condition. He had.
too, under his care silk gown, which
he displayed with infinite pride. It
was bis wife's wedding dress, he told
me. His wife, who lived in another
wing of the building. had, it seems,
handed it over to him for greater safe
ty. "She always wears it, though, of
course, when we pay visits" he re-
marked incidentally. One of the laun-
dry regulations of the homes sounds
in English ears sorry jest, yet per-
haps, after all, it has it's raison d'etre.
The inmates are warned that it is only
their bed linen and clothes that are
washed free of charge-not their putze-
wasche; that is, lace frills and furbe.

Lincoln and Bryan.

A New York newspaper correspondent
calls attention TO the following facts.
"There is a similarity between the pub
lie careers Of Abraham Lincoln and
Bryan 70 which / do not think attention
has been directed. Lincoln served two
terms in Congress-so has Bryan. Lin
coin was 9 defeated candidate for the
United States Senate just before his
nomination for the Presidency so was
Bryan. Lincoln was fercely attacked as
an enemy Of society and Of our institu-
tlons because he criticized the United
States Supreme court and stood upon a
platform which criticized that court
Mr.. Bryan is being attacked upon the
same ground, Both were comparatively
unknown men Whsn nominated for the
highest Office In the gift Of the people,
though Lincoln had acquired National
reputation through his debates with
Douglass -and Bryan made an excep-
tioQslly brilliant record during his
shO b service in Congress. Lincoln had
the wealth and the aristocracy Of the
North as well as the clergy and the
shareholders Of the South against him
and the same people who were against
him are opposed to Bryan.

In speaking Of women tsilors he says:
"The fact that thousands Of pairs Of
pants are being made daily at the rate
Of l6 cents per pair and overalls at 4 and
5 cents, has become too well known to
admit Of q doubt or denial. This 16
cents is divided between three, some
times four women, who do different parts
Of t1e work, and it is absolutely true
that hundreds Of these women are living
all the time just far enough removed
from the point Of starvation to exist and
work. A few days sickness viii at any
time throw them upon the charity Of
the city and in fact many Of them are
forced to receive charity while still at
work."
Notwithstanding the above appalling
facts published to the world by one OF
Governor Foraksr's appointees, that
gentleman is now engaged in touring
the Western States and showing in his
speeches what great blessings protection
and McKinleyism will bring to the

ton what they believe to be voting

tory:
sin 1889 the steel workers at Home
stead signed q three years scale Of
wages, based on the four by four inch
billet. This was one Of the forty.One
products Of the Homestead mill. The
Mckinley bill increased the tariff on
twenty of these products. The bal
ance remained az they were on the
former tariff list. But at the soIicitS
ton of the Carnegie Company the
tariff was changed on this article, the
four by four inch billet, from Q specific
to an 0d VGloTen1 duty, making q re-
duction on that article alone Of from
11S to 4 cent per pound. This WaI
done against the protests Of the en-
ployeS. Now our wages were read
justed every quarter on the basis oi
the market price Of the four by -four
inch billet, as quoted In the Pittsbura
papers daily. The effect Of this chang,
In the tariff on this product resulted In
the reduction Of its selling price from
934 to 8A per ton. And as the scale
Of wages was a sliding scale, our wages
were reduced at the same ratio. Thil
is one instance Of what Mckinley hal
done for labor at Homestead"

The Beauties Of These Two System in Ohio
When J. B. Foraker was Governor

in 1889.
A. D. Fassett, Labor Commissioner OF
Ohio under Governor Foraker prepared
the thirteenth annual report OF the
department and we copy from his letter
Of transmittal as follows:
On page IA referring to the enforced
idleness in the State, he says, "The
number Of willing workers out OF en-
ployment is fully equal to 15 per cent.
OF the whole number Of laborers."
On page 63 he quotes from Carroll d.
Wright, Commissioner Of the United
States Bureau Of Labor Statistics, who
says, shat fully one and one half
million willing workers we're out Of en-
pIoyment in the United States, and, this
too, under Republican administration,
when our Republican friends tell Us we
were enjoying q degree Of prosperity
never before known in the history Of
the country"
In speaking Of the employment Of
women in the factories of the State he
uses the following language; "This
brings me into a consideration Of the
second suggestion-the decentralization
Of the gentler sex. In handling this
branch Of a most painful subject, /
must necessarily wound the feelings Of
many worthy persons, but what I say
shall be said in spirit Of kindness, con-
fdent that q brave statement Of the
truth will benefit most those wounded
the deepest. Ishsll proceed with this
investigation In the same spirit that the
surgeon uses his knife on the patient he
would restore to health. Public senti-
ment can only be aroused in opposition
to great wrongs by exposing them.
Slavery could never have been abolished
had the conscience Of the nation not
been quickened by expOsursrs Of the
horrible details Of slave life, and 30 the
horrors Of factory life. Slavery itself
was scarcely more degrading, its horrors
scarcely more revolving and its effects
scarcely more damaging to good morals
and good government than is fast becom-
ing the result by the displacement of
men in the workshops of the country
with women. I am not pre-
pared to recommend the enactment Of
law that would remove women from
the workshops of Ohio as competitors
of men. Such law for Ohio would be
unjust to Ohio manufacturers who must
compete with manufacturers outside the
State permitted 10 employ women; and
yet it seems that nothing short Of such
enactment will remove the evil It is
indeed sad to contemplate the degrade
zion to which this system is tending and
be forced to admit in that connection
that no adequate remedy can be sug-
gested. The woman wage-worker has
come and fear has come to stay. She
has not come as an angel In disguise,

as a politician, nor Democrat, but as
a plain American citizen who loves his
country.
Free silver will restore to you con-
fidence and prosperity It cannot do
otherwise. Under free silver money

The speaker stopped to ask if there

Mr.. Bell closed by making an ela-
quent appeal for the cause Of right and
justice. He said: Bryan stands against
the band of betrayers. He stands fol
the common people; he stands for Tho
advancement of labor; he stands for al
that is Democratic, and for the
flag. He stands as a reformer and the
eXalter of the nation. He will lift man
kind higher in the light of the world
We believe his election will bless man
kind. Storms may rage, winds ma,
blow, but he will stand as the hero fo
all. He will succeed, for the finger o
God is pointing toward the right. Trutl

In his speech at the Auditorium last
evening Frederick e. Bach took up the
matter of the audit of the accounts of
Receiver of Taxes John T. Dickey. He
declared that Mr.. Dickey had refused to
permit Henry Baird, the Republican
auditor appointed by Judge Grubb. TO

came in company with John N. Cars
well, the Democratic auditor. He even
went so far as to intimate that there
was something crooked In Mr. Dickey's
books which led him to refuse to per-
NIT Mr.. Baird to have access to them.
An Evening Journal reporter called
on Mr.. Dickey at the Court House this
morning and asked him If he had any
thing to say in answer TO Bach's
charges.

rode down to the bank Mr. Baird was
crossing the street as he got there.
The reporter repeated Bach's charges
and Mr.. Baird promptly replied:
