Investigating Peonage.

the South any real service by their at

South is so anxious for.
grants To the rural sections OF the
South where labor is so greatly needed
has been checked by the peon2;5e dis
closures: and the southern members of
Congress who are Directing to the pro-
posed investigation seem to have an
idea that in making such an investiga-
tor the northern members of Congress
desire still further to check this immi-
grafton. OF course they are mistaken
in this opinion. The northern states
are far from wishing to divert imnli
grafton from the South. This section
of the country already has more immi-
grafton than it knows what to do With,
and there is no desire here Tor the
laborers whom the South is trying to
attract from foreign quarters.
If the condition of things as regards
peonase has been exaggerated then an
investigation will give the South d
clean bill of health and immigration 20
that section will be encOura ged. If the
peonage practices should be corrected
as promptly as possible for the good
name and welfare of the South itself,
and the members of Congress from
that section should be the first in urg-
ing such an investigation instead of
standing in its way. Peonage is hard
TO prove but the South cannot afford
to put obstacles in the way Of the in
vestigation which it is proposed tC

An Ancestral Castle in Hungary.

a sad tale of disbursement comes
from distant Hungary where Count
Szcchenyi has just taken the American
heiress whom he won for bride. The
American people had been informed
that this was u real love match and
tkat the Hungarian nobleman with the
unpronounceable name was not merely
titled fortune hunter but a man Of
great Importance and rank in his own
country and that his ancestral castle
was one of the show places Of the Old
World. but the American girl who
gave herself and her millions in return
for Il title with the aforesaid ancestral
cjtStI" thrown in. has discovered that
the bargain WAS Il decidedly une-sidcd
One.
Many American hcircsscs have made
the same discovery under similar cir
cumS.anceS and nobody on this side Of
the water will be surprised that the an
ceStral castle turned out To be Il very
commonplace and Crumbling old ruin
II" more coMmUdious or imposing than
many American barns. and lacking
many If the luxurics ana comforts
which are to be found in the barns oi
up-to-date American farmers. For in
stance. the ancestral castle is not piped
fer water and has not Il single bath
room. There is neither gas nor cleo
trici:g and no telephone connection
with the outside world. The iuxlIries
to which the American heiress was &C
cuStumcd must be superseded by q
ruden"sS of life and primitivcness OF
surroundings beyond that Of the COM
moneSt tenants on her OWN American
estates. The only water in the an
ccstral castle is brought by servants
from well in the yard and the nearest
approach to a bathtub is a wooden vat
which may be climbed into by use of
stepladder or chair.
II is possible that the correspondent
has somewhat overdrawn the picture,
but ii is easy To believe that il has the
elements of truth. The further east or
southeast one gets in Europe the fewer
balhtubs the less water ana the great
er degree of sdGalor and discomfort
until one finds the limit in the realm of
| the unspeakable Turk. Hungary is
| not so very far away from Turkey and
it is not surprising to find that the
| Szcchen;i castle has fewer conve-
n;enceS and comforts than would be
found in an American city in a $10-a-
| month rent. No doubt under the slim
| illus of the Vanderbilt millions this an.
cestral castle will soon blossom with
be thtubs, electric lights, piped water.

Europe will be conquered by the Amer.
! lean invasion which so many other
sections of the Old World have felt.
But although the American heires:
can change with her money the ex
terror surroundings of her new life sht
will find that there are many thing,
which all her millions cannot take witt
her into Hungary. The station of wo
men there is not much like that of tn,
untrammelled, independent America,
girl of riches. Her social and famil,
rights and privileges will largely van
ish and she will be but the wife of he
