OLD PENAL COLONY
How Australian Settlements
Have Been Transformed.
Crimes Carnival Ended-Deseendant
OF English Malefaetors Thrifty
and Law-AbldIng and Their
Origin Forgotten.

Melbourne, Australia.-The position
which the Australasian colonies are
gaining 10 the world, particularly
since their federation on the plan Of
the United States. has attracted the
attention of the world to them and re-
called the singular and striking fact
that great penal colonies, where at
one time disorder and crime prevailed.
have become orderly and strictly self
governing communities.
The story OF the penal settlements
Of Australia and Tasmania. and the
carnival Of cruelty and of crime that
attended the convict system. is most
remarkable in the light Of subsequent
events. The crimes for which con-
victs were sent from England to
Botany bay and Van Diemen's land
were in great part abominable. and
the expiation was certainly terrible.
The convicts were put at work in
the broiling Australian sun. OFTEN
they worked In chains. and the chains
were not counted as diminishing their
capacity for hard labor Even the
best conducted OF them were let out
to farmers and the proprietors OF
sheep ranges. II these farmers hap
pened to be humane. the convict might
be reasonably happy. But in many
cases the farmer regarded his con-
vict helper as a slave, as indeed he
was. and beast of burden. to be used
as cruelty as possible.
The result was that as many OF the
convicts as could do so escaped to the
woods and became "bushrangers" or
bandits. They preyed on the natives
and on the settlers, committing rob-
berries that were not infrequently at
tended with murder.
They became such terror to the
peaceful settlers that when Mike
Howe proposed a peace, in which he
was to be treated as a gentleman"
they were very glad to make the ar
rangement. But the encouragement
at Sydney refused to give his sane
ton to the pact, and Howe took to the
bush again. He was pursued by
troops, and in a dreadful hand to
hand conflict was overcome and be.
headed by a gigantic soldier known as
big Bill"
Howe's followers continued the war
relentlessly, but at last there came a
change. The convicts tired of bush
ranging and little by little settled
down to good conduct. The system OF
penal settlements was abolished. No
more convicts came out from England.
