MOBs AND LABOR.

A grain.dealer OF Chicago, whose transac-
tons arc measured by millions of bushels per
aunum, wrote to his agent in this city on
hearing by telegraph Of the riots then in pro.
press, to advise him as to the safety of future
shipments to or through this port; remarking
that though this was more convenient than
any other place of export. he must send his
grain to Europe by different route unless he
could bs assured against continuance or re.
petition of such dolngs. lle was not only un-
willing but unable to brave the possible loss OF
mors property than he was worth by the
burning of warehouses and elevators.
If tho rioters could succeed by violence aud
arson in prescribing the use of steam ecva-
tors at our wharves, they would thereby drive
a large portion OF the now immense grain
trade OF our city to seek its destination by
way of Montreal, Boston, Philadelphia, Bati-
more or .Orlsans, instead of New-York.
They might bankrupt our grain merchants,
but they would at tho same time beggar them
selyes. And this is about the average net pro-
duct of mobs and riots.

On the other hand, q national reorganization
of the Kingdom of Poland, even under the
scepter of Russia, would probably give within
few years to the National Polish party
strength which would forever remove the
danger of the Polish nationality being extir.
mated. Galicia is On encouraging example
that the peaceable agitation for the inallenable
rights of natonalities is. as rule, much safer
and much more successful than the appeal to
arms.
If only the territory Of what is properly
called the Kingdom of Poland were at stake,
the concessions already made by Russia would
make permanent solution of the Polish ques'
ton a comparatively easy task. But no dlplo-
matst has yet found any solution of the question
of the disposition of those Russian provinces
which formerly belonged to the Polish Empire,
but are now incorporated with Russia proper.
The Poles are uncompromising in demanding
their reunion with the Kingdom Of Poland. The
Russians, on the other hand, though they are
generally willing to grant national institutions
to the Kingdom of Poland, are uDyieldlng IN
their claim upon these provinces. They ap.
peal to the very principle OF natlonalities IN
virtue of which the Poles claim their indepen-
dence, in order to prove that these Polish
provinces of Russia ought to remain united
with Russia. They present chronological tables,
according to which the Poles of these provinces
are only minority of the aggregate popuia-
tion and are even less numerous than the
Russians. The fact seems to be undOubted,
but the Poles maintain that they are still the
predominating race, that most OF the
less numerous nationalities, as Lithuanians,
Germans, Jews, already are or probably VIII
be Polandised if tho Russian Government does
not interfere with the natural movement of the
population, and that the Russian inhabitants OF
these provinces belong to q particular branch
of the Slay, which is nearer related to the Poles
than to the Russians proper. The Russlan
Government, which has clear understanding
Of the great Importance Of the nationality prin.
cipIe for the re.arrangement OF the map OF
Europe, will strain every nerve to prevent these
provinces becoming Polish, and instead, to make
them Russian. Terrible conflicts upon this
field are hardly avodable, before the hostile
nationalities OF Europe will have learned to
settle international questions by amicable means
II the forthcoming Congress of European
powers should be unsuccessful in finding so
luton for the Polish question, it will probably
be owing to their inability to dispose OF the
difficulties besettng the contested nationality OF
these Polish provinces of Russia Proper.
