THE TROUBLE IN AUSTRIA.

The present outbreak among the Slavs
of Bohemia resem bles very closely that
which took place in the same quarter in
symptoms of the Hungarian revolution
which followed later. 1t was the demand
for equal privileges with the Germans,
which then precipitated the
trouble, just as it is that demand which
is underneath thu present outbreak.
received from the Emperor Ferdinand l. g.,
Slavonic congress was called at Prague.
But while the Congress was discussing
fighting broke out in the streets and it
furnished pretext to the Austrian COM
mander who had assembled an army to
bonn bard the city, which he soon entered
in triumph From that day to this there
has been a bitterness between the Czechs
who constitute the principal part of the
population Of Bohemia and the Germans
who make up about two ffths.
The proximate cause of the present
trouble is the attempt on the part of the
Austrian government to make the Czech
language coordinate in official matters
with the German. 1t met the fierce re-
sistanoe of the Germans and and the riot.
Gus proceedings in the Reichsrath, which
have been reported by the telegraph re-
suited. The upshot was that the Baldeni
ministry, which was pledged to the coor-
dinate language policy, had to resign,
though the Emperor has SO far refused to
withdraw the language decree. The scene
Of conflict was then transferred from the
halls of legislation to Bohemia, where the
contending races are venting their hatred
of one another by personal assaults. and
the destruction of one another's property
The Austrian empire is made up of
more heterogeneous elements than any
empire in Europe. No less than three
distinct races enter into its population
Germans, Magyars and Slavs-and the
Slavs are sub-divided into Croats, Pole
and CZechs or Bohemians. The tenden-
cy among them has ever been to fly
apart, and in consequence the Austrian
empire has always been subject to ter
rible commissions. The last formidable
revolution broke out in 1648, when the
Magyars of Hungary attempted to throw
OFF the Austrian yoke, in which they
failed, largely on account of the interior
ence of Russia. Subsequently as an indi-
rect results Of Austrian misfortunes in
the Italian war Of 1859 and the Schelswig-
Holstein campaign Of 1866 they gained
complete autonomy, and became an equal
partner in the dual Austro- Hungarian
monarchy. But this arrangement salts
fed the Magyars merely. There was
Nc recognition in it for the Slavs, who
constitute an important part of the pop
ulation of the Empire, and perhaps their
hatred of the other races was rather in
tensi6ed by it than otherwise. AS the
events of the past few weeks have shown
that they are as bitter as now ever. A with
drawal of the language DEGREES might
provoke them into open and general revolt
On the other hand an attempt to enforce
them is likely to meet as vigorous re-
sistance from the German population as
1t has met from it's representatives in the
Reichsrath. From any point of view the
situation is exceedingly precarious, and a
bloody and wide spread race war is some
thing more than mere possibility.

Bicycle Prices Fall.

! After several years Of exorbitantly
large profits the manufacturers Of
bicycles hove been compelled to yerv
largely reduce their prices. The pub
lie actually refused to longer pay $loo
for a machine which can be built for
one-qusrter that amount.
Afew makers saw this some time
ago and put on the market cheaper
machines at very greatly reduced
prices which SO cut into the business
Of the higher priced manufacturers
that in pure self-defense they were
compelled to bid goodbye to their old
high prices.
Why should not the same thing &C.
cur with type-writins machinesp They
no doubt cost considerably less to pro-
duce than bicycles, and yet some of
them are selling at the ri~diculously
high price of 500. It is fair to infer
that o machine which sells at $50 costs
close to s15 to manufacture.
: II q few large department stores in
New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chi
cago, etc., would arrange for large
quantities to be manufactured for them
by some one outside Of a Trust the
prices would come down to reasonable
figures as have those Of bicycles.
