TIE CoRNxn IN Coal On.-Unwarned by
the deserved fate of the contrivers of other
corners. the oil producers Of Western Pennsyl-
vania have combined to compass scarcity in
coal oil, with view to carry up the price.
Various owners of oil wells and lands have
Joined in pledge not to extend their opera
fions beyond certain limit, whereby it Is In
tended to check what to their eyes appeared o
disposition to over-production Of this great
staple article of universal consumption. It Is
obvious that the public, which so largely de-
ponds upon the flow Of the Oil Greek wells for
Light, will see the matter in quite the opposite
aspect They viii not at all approve the pros
pect of paying twice or thrice the present cost
of oil to enhance the profits of the monopo-
lists, and it is more than probable that the
greed of the latter viii defeat their designs.
Advancing prices will stimulate search, and in
all likelihood other sources Of supply will be
be found from which oil will be put on the
market at rates below those exacted by the
combination, and thus produce rivalry which
will be sure TO benefit the public, while it will
lessen the enormous gains Of the oil well

RoBBNa IMMIGRANTS AT CASTLE GARDEN
No meaner thief exists than he who, taking
advantage Of position Of trust at the Castle
Garden depot robs the poor souls who, fleeing
from unrequited toll in the Old World, come
ito our shores with their scanty outfit to begin
lite IN 2 strange land, hoping to better their
Condition and give their children an inherit
,hnce Of freedom. Such wretch was on Fri
day brought before the sitting magistrate at
the T9mbs. He was employed by one Of the
railroad companies at the depot as baggage
master, and was caught having the property of
Immigrants carried to his own house He was
held for trial, and if the evidence sustains the
charge we anticipate for him the full measure
of punishment by law for such case made and
provided. Public sentiment will applaud the
Judge who shall sentence the miscreant to o
long term in the State Prison, and no plea for
mercy will satisfy the popular feeling in regard
to the man who could be guilty of such con.
temptible meanness of crime. If any class in
the community needs protection the new
landed poor are that class, and the claim is
fully recognized and responded to by our citi-
rzens. To steal from them is like ilching PEN
mics from the blind fddlers cup No legal
penalty is too severe for such thief.

promises, no matter how exaggerated their
form, for the managers think that few weeks
Bojourn In the country renders their patrons
good-natured and credulous enough to swal-
low poster or prospectus as easily as an ana

even to the indulgence of a public, and the
promises Of managers have been too often

dwindles down to prima donna and crowd

"A word Of warning in time, then, will prove

this season, considering the vast number of
rival attractions and the choice consignment
of talent sent to us from Europe.
