THE State of Missouri is getting back
to her old gait it seems. Two train rob-
beers boarded train near Kansas City
Saturday night and went through one car
securing $175 and two gold watches. AS
they were entering the next car they met
the conductor who showed fight, breaking
his lantern over the head of one of the
robbers. After firing two shots at the
conductor, without effect, they jumped
from the train and made their escape.

A CHANGE IN THE DIRECTION OF
IMMIGRATION.

President HARRIsON's suggestions IN
regsrd to our naturalization laws come
with unusual propriety at time which
indicates an ebb in the tide Of European
immigration. Official reports for the
month Of Janupy, 1859, show that the
number of immigrants received into this
country wss 1922, sgainst 13, 23S for the
sane month Of last year. The total for
seven months was PIP, $50, against 2S6, s35
for a corresponding period Of Ire Preced-
ing year. All the chief source from
which this great influx is drawn show a
decline in emigration to the United States
But with this decline there is 20 cessa-
tion in the steady westward current Of the
old worlds overflow. Il has been turned
into other channels 20 great extent
The young and vigorous Republics Of
the South have held out enormous induce
msnts to immigrants of every race. Ar
gentine Republic, Mexico and Chill N
particular, have thrown open their doors
10 a population, which the United States
does not invite. Add 10 this the fact that
English transportation companies have be-
c,me more careful OF the class and charac-
ter Of immigrants shipped to our shores,
aud We end adequate cause for the de-
cline
1t is a matter of couqratnlatiOn. The
decrease represents a large per cent of the
of the undesirable elements. The fact
suggests that the question of European
immigration ia in fair way to settle itself
without legislation of special stringency.
The laws we have are generally suffi-
Gent to cover all cases. The effsc-
tual application of them would certainly
cut of the importation Of pauper and con-
tract labor classes. A closer naturaliza-
tion law, as the President suggests, would
throw ample safeguards about the sanctity
Of American citizenship.
These MEASURE, if properly applied
uader the new conditions, which Euro
pean immigration seems about to assume,
should furnish full protection against
every evil threatened from that quarter.

opportunity has been denied them, by
railroad policy rshich put ban on local

been many years since the rates on the b
* o. railroad were cheaper from Chicago to

shorter distance by rail hsn from Phila-
delphia TO Fairmcnt The same rule pre-
vailed in every locality reached by the
railroad, sad except as modified by an i'm

The result is a discount on the value OF
everything West Yiginians sell in the

thing West Yirginiaus buy. 1t is not
strange that under this crushing discrimi-
nation industry has been slack, the State
has not developed, and her people have not
been enriched.
But the effect has been almost, if rot
equally as Injurious upon the railroads
themselves. Bu iuess in the State has not
been remunerative; business outside OF
the State mas been subject to disastrous
competition.
Tue remedy for these evils does not
need emphasis. A bill was before the
Legislature ct the last session, seeking in
some measure to apply the remedy. It
may MT have been wise in all its prOvis-
ions, but in any form the people of West
Virginia will be strongly inclined to sup

THE VALUE OF LOCAL RAILROAD
IRA FFT(s

THE VALUE OF LOCAL RAILROAD
TRAFFIC.
The official report Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad contains facts that should be
commended to the consideration Of West
Virgiaians. The lesson of these facts is
not new. bat it can not be presented in a
more effective way than in President RoB-
ERT's figures.
Toe lines cast Ede and Pittsburg
in 1sss carried in rouad numbers,
esss and west, seventy-iour million people.
Fifty-niue million Of these passengers came
from towns along the route Of the road in
the state. The average distance Of travel
was is 11Omiles, sgainst Is 90 miles in
the year 1887. About the same proper
ton OF the freight business YVES OF strict
local character.
The facts are su. gestive. Over 50 per
cent. OF the immense business Of the Penn
sylyauia system in the State originates
along its line, and no rival can invade lis
territory.
The Pittsburg Post says Of the Pennsyl-
vauia system: From it's earliest days,
when it was a weak and disioin,ed line,
awsy back in the ftties, its far-sighted
policy was to encourage enterprises OF an
kinds along It'd lines. 1t is now reaping
the rich reward Of this splendid railroad
craftsmanship"
The reward OF tbs Pennsylvsnia's states
manship has been 10 see the country it
traverses grow into prosperity unsnr-
passed anywhere on the face Of the earth.
IL has seen bare hillsides and valleys be-
come alive with the fruits Of industry. 1t
has seen unbrokea miles Of its line dotted
with busy communities All these are
pouring a rich treasure into ITS golfers.
Taers are plenty of cOunterparts to the
liberal policy Of the Pennsylvania railroad.
The seeker has only to come West Vir-
pinia to fnd them. There are two great
trunk lices traversing this State from one
BOUNDARY to the other Official figures,
showing the ratio of through and local
traffic have not been published, out 1t Is
safe to say that they are the reverse OF
those in the Pennsylvania casa The bus
mess that originates in West Virginia does
not amount to hardly the hundredth part
Of the work done by the @. x O. and B. &
o. railroads. There are comparatively
lev local industries, aud the local p,ssen-
ger traffic is 30 small that it juatifes only
the poorest accommodations
