BREAD RIoT. The question of food
and employment is becoming a very
serious and alarming one in England.
On the 9th inst, several thousands of
unemployed workmen assembled at
Trafalgar Square in London, aud u
number of violent speeches We're mule
by orators representing the mechanics
and agriculturists, denoancing the gov
ernment for not giving occupation to
the starving masses by inaugurating
public works, and 10 giving preference
te home labor over that Of the foreign
element. In series of resolutions they
demanded this aid from the govern
ment, otherwise q revolution might
enaue. A strong socialistic element
was developed by many OF tile rioters
breaking into stores aud shops, but
more than tWo-thirds of the mob were
legitimate Workmen who were without
employment to earn support for their
families. The police were powerless to
disperse the mob, and the only wonder
was that 80 few persons were hurt and
no lives lost.
On the same day serious riot took
place 10 the coke region of Pennsyl-
vania between some strikers and newly
employed men.

CRIMINAL ASSAULT On last Man
day about III o'clock a. nj /. colofed
man by the name OF Alfred Taylor
called at the residence of IA Mrs Lat
sealIe, near Moundville, on the old Dr.
Moore place, and asked if her husband
was at home. She, not snspecting any
thing wrong, veplied that he was not. :.
The negro then told her that some one
was trying to steal her chickens in the
woods near by, and tilat she liatl better
see about it. The unfortunate woman
went to the place to look after her
fowls, when the firnd in human shape
followed her aud drawing Il pistol
threatened to shoot her il she made any
outcry. She tainted away through
fright, when he accomplished his
diabolical purpose. The demon fled,
but posse was immediately organized
and began searching for him. AT last
accounts he had not been arrested
Thursday, bui had been traced to u
saw mill in the northwestern part of
the parish. From the Indignation Of
the people it is fair to presume that
Judge Lynch will preside 1t bis taial
when caught, aud that he will stretch
hemp in short order without any costs
to the parish for his Infamous crime.

At the meeting of the National
Sugar Growers Association in ST. Louis
Prof. W. II. Wiley, who has travelled
extensively in England, Germany,
France, Spain, etc, speaking of The
advantages of tho diffusion process, .
said, among other things: "Th' pros
pect for the sugar interest in this coun-
Try by following the proposed new
methods of manufacture is exceedingly
hopeful. Louisiana, without producing
one ton more cane than she does at
present. would be able to furnish 90 per
cent more sngar, and from the stimulus
which the increase would give vast
areas which are now lying idle or de-
voted to other crops would be planted
in cane For sorghum the benefit
promises to be even greater, not less
than 30 or 40 per cent. When it is re-
nembered that all of the gold aud sill
yer that has been mined 10 this country
would not pay for The sugar which we
have purchased from foreign nations,
the Importance of au indigenous sugar
industry becomes more emphatic. IN !.
