A FlerisNlB System of Slavery.
There is a system of slavery flourishing
In many et the large cities of the country
that has nearly all of the worst features of
negre despotism willi nene of its few com
pensatiens. It is called the " padrene"
system and is briefly the purchase, in tue
form of hiring, of Innumerable Italian lads
te run the streets of great cities in various
occupations, the money derived from which
Is te be scrupulously turned ever le their
masters. Singularly enough, this nefari
ous system has received llttle attention
from philanthropists. "While Henry Uergh
is spending thousands looking after the in
terests of dumb brutes, and Antheny Corn Cern
stock Is devoting his energies te the purifi
cation of the malls, the llttle Italian boy is
left te the mercy of a padrone who Is often
fiendishly cruel.
This traffic seems te have had its origin
in 1667 with the Italian consulate at that
time, many of the attaches of which ever
since have been accused of complicity in
the commerce. The only legislation ever
armed against it was the Morene law of
1874, championed by an Italian slgner 01
that iiame. With his departure te Italy,
eight years nge, the law became a dead let
ter, and his return te this country a few
years age flnd3 the system mere powerful
than ever before.
Enumerating seme of the evils of this
pernicious form of slavery, Sener Morene
says: " This padrone system Is an outrage
en American civilization and humanit.
Children are brought here under the plea
of teaching them mechanical trades, and
adults of both setcs are induced te mort
gage their little properties, in farm or vine
yard lands, in Italy for quadruple the
amount of their passage money, and te en
ter into contracts with the padreni te work
for from ene te six years under the premise
that, at the end et the contract and when
the money advanced has been repaid, they
will be given forms in various parts of the
United States. The children and adults
when once here enter into a life of slavery
worse than that of the Southern negre be
fore emancipation. They are compelled te
de whatever their taskmasters require of
them ; te play the harp, violin or hand or
gan, te beg, te pick rags or te work en the
railroads, and the padreni collect and keep
the mouey they earn, lodging them in mis
erable quarters, and furnishing them with
peer feed and cheap clothing, for all of
which they charge up against their victims
enormous prices."
It is a blot en the fair fame of the coun
try that this deplorable condition of affairs
should be permitted. He who Inaugurates
and carries through legislative measures
that will cut out this sere from the body
politic, will rank high as ene of the bene
factors of his race.
Seme Questions.
A young man who was n clerk in the
Fidelity Trust company, Philadelphia, was
sentenced yesterday te the penitentiary for
twenty-ene months' upon his confession
that he had taken bends from its vaults.
Judge FInletter, in sentencing him, re
minded him of the gravity of his offense,
hi violating the trust reposed in him,
shaking the confidenco of the community
in trust companies as safe deio?iterlcs, and
risking the suspicion of his crime falling
upon his Innocent fellow clerks.
"Which was very well.
But wouldltnethavebeenalso well for the
judge te liave considered that the shaken
confidence of the community in the Fidel
ity as a Bafo depository did net come from
the crime of this clerk, but from the fact
wliich he developed, that the rules of the
trust company made his theft possible.
Se far as this clement in his offense is
concerned was he net entitled rather te
gratitude than denunciation for the devel
opment he madeV And upon the judges'
theory of the gravltv added te his olTense
by the lest confidence of the community,
might net the directors of the Fidelity
have been sent te Jail ?

The political unanimity of Tuxjis in the

Its plurality of 133,000 with no Incoutlve te
be derlved from a spirited canvass gives color
te the suspicion that the llopubllenns were
all sick or were visiting relathcs across the
state border. When the congressional major
ities are considered, the rock-bed Democracy
of U.e state grew a mero surprising. They

majorities given the eleven Democratic can

district, Savers, 0,270; Eleventh district,

plurality In New Yerk In 18S2 was perhaps
the moving cause of this whirlwind. Texas
felt aggrieved tliat any ether state should
surpass her ; Democratic majority, and from
the manner in which the votes were rolled
up in the Lone Star state In November, she
