the situation as it really exists:
1t is unfortunate that the tenden-

by the tendency to exaggeiation in Ger.

that more than one hundred indict-

ALABAMA PEONAGE CASES.

There are a great many who have
been reading of late about the Ala
bama 'peonage cases. and but few
know, even after having read about
them, anything of the causes which
brought these charges about.
1t was in this way: Alabama, like
many other states, has law by which
those who are brought before the
courts on the petty charges, for crimes
that do not justify penitentiary SEN
fences and yet calling for sentences of
the court too large, in dollars and
cents, for the criminal to, upon the
spot, pay-in such cases the prisoner
must work out his fine, and it has
been the habit over there, when the
public roads or public works did not
need the services of these prisoners,
for The county board of supervisors or
jailer to hire these people out to far
mers or any one (going into regular
written contract), for a length of
time, at so much a day, as would
square the prisoner with the county
In a few, very few, instances these
prisoners (some of them not suited for
steady manual labor) have been
hired ont as low as 10 cents per day,
and of course where the fine was any
thing like large, and then there were
deductions for lest time, it required
sometimes years to work out single
| fine.
This plan had gone along for years
without any one stopping to think of
there being anything wrong with it,
until recently, when some one whose
sympathy had been aroused by case
that had been brought under his OBJ
servatlon, interested himself in this
prisoners behalf, appealing to the
higher authorities, and here the
trouble started.
An investigation was then COM
menced, and when it was found that
the contracts signed up were, in their
binding qualities, almost like sell
ing man into slavery, a howl went
up and is now going the rounds of
and being. magnified by, the northern

Germany is preparing to send to the

industries are grouped by the govern

no manufacturers of porcelain are al
lowed to exhibit as individuals indie

submit to being grouped with others
in the same class. The collective ex
hibits of proclaim, bronzes, textiles,

sent the best that Germany can do. "
