lawlessness which has caused whatever SYM
patty might have been felt for them at first
to be destroyed.
From this may proftably be learned two
lessons. One is that while all men in this
free country have right to give up their
means Of subsistence and quit work Just
whenever they please. they have no right
10 attempt 10 prevent other men who
wish to support their families by
honest labor from so dong. II they
do. their conduct is certain to react on
themselves, and they. in TIE end. are the only
real sufferers The next is that the necessity
of revision Of our immigration laws 50 rs to
keep out of the country the scum Of Europe
is made more and more manifest.
Hardly had tho echoes of the excitement
caused by the Staying of the murderous men,
bers Of the Malta in New Orleans died away
before the country is called upon to read daily
accounts of bloodshed caused by mob
of lawless Hungarians in Pennsylvania.
Even Infatuated women attack. with the
ferocity of tigresses. the officers of the law.
and the latter are forced to shoot down their
assailants in self-defense. The strikers. too.
are apparently becoming more and more des-
perate as they feel themselves losing ground.
and there is no telling 10 what bloody meas
ures they may yet resort. All that is posi-
lively known is that mob law and defiance of
constituted authority is running riot in Penn
sylvania.
This is n state of affairs that must always
be expected so long as our immigration laws
not only permit. but even invite the most
undesirable classes of immigrants to settle in
this country The Fifty-second Congress
will be forced to take this subject under con-
sideration, and amend the laws at least to
the extent of shutting out the rifT-raff and
banditti of European moDarchies. who can

ANOTHER PLEA FOR RESTRICTION.

The reports of the rioting and lawlessness
which have prevailed among the strikers in
the PENNSYLVANIA coke regions are simply ap-
palling. Each day since the strike was in
augurated there seems to have been pitched
battles between the strikers and the peace
authorities. resulting in the shedding of blood
and loss of life
The worst feature of this entire unfortunate
business is that all the trouble is caused by
shiftless and vagabond Hungarians, who have
left their country for their country's good.
and under the mistaken idea, which
so many of that class of immigrants
seem TO be possessed of, that the
liberty and freedom in America of which
they have heard so much is but another name
for license. So long as they were given en-
ployment in the mines and worked industri-
ously and we'll so long did they prosper-bet-
ter, perhaps. than they had ever done before
in their lives. But the moment that they saw
themselves doing well they at once imagined
that the mines belonged to them. and when they
made demandsWAioh could net b accaded

The spectacle now presented TO the public

young men of that State seem to have gone

When Ribbons Are Not Ribbons.

About year ago prominent importer Of

Inent which turned on the difference between
ribbons used Us ribbons and ribbons used as
hat trimmings. The court decided. contrary
b the established rulings of the Treasury De-
paItment that nbbons used as hat trimmings
are not duitable as ribbons. and the importers
are very much elated over the decision.
They think that they have not only made q
very fine point in law and won it against

Inmates that the Government will have TO paw

the excess of duties paid in past years on such
trimmings when classified as mere ribbons. -

duties which they paid under the former con-
struction Of the law were promptly collected

GROWTH OFLYNCHBURG.

II is always the source of very great pleasure
TO THE TINES to observe the many evidences
that indicate the rapid growth of the differ
ent cities and towns of Virginia. Among these
cities and towns. there is hardly one that has
more just reason to regard ths progress which
il is making with qualification than Lynch
burg. a community that has always been dis
tinguishod for the energy and intelligence of
its citizens. hut which, under the new impulse
which has been given to the prosperity of the
State, has shown an enterprising spirit unex-
ampled in its previous history.
In its issue of Thursday, tho Lynchburg
virginian comments with the most excusable
pride on the recent illustrations Of this spirit
in the people of that city. and the showing
which il makes is most flattering in the light
which it throws on the present condition OF
Lynchburg as we'll as most promising for its
future.
Five and half wears ago, the Virginian
states, not q single stone had been laid for the
foundation of the Lynchburg Cotton Mill.
This mill is now running on full line OF or
ders. and is on the point of shipping 100000
yards Of fine cotton muslins on an order re-
ceyed from New York During the course OF
the last twelve months a large shoe factory
has been capitalized. organized. built and
equipped. and has a most encouraging outlook
for very large trade. The West Lynchburg
Furniture Factory has also been completed,
and the new Lynchburg Pulp and Paper Mill
is in active operation.
1t is estimated that 81 .166, 700 have been ex-
pended recently in the way Of buildings and
improvements One of the most notable
changes that have taken place in the city has
been the substitution of electric railways for
the old system Of locomotion by horses and
mules attached 10 the street cars. Three
months ago, says the Virginian, the people OF
Lynchburg were dependent upon this system
for transit from point to point in the city
limits. To-day Lvnchburg has one electric
line five miles in length completed, another OF
six miles let TO contract. and third line OF
four miles organized and chartered, with the
probability that it will be completed during
the summer"
Such. in very brief outline, is the recent
industrial history of the Hill City, and the
record is one that will be regarded with pleas.
ure and qualification in every part of the
Commonwealth. The great activity now 10
be observed in Lynchburg is only one indica-
ton of the new spirit which is moving the
people in all the towns and cities of the State,
and it cannot but be considered by Virginlans
generally with feelings of the liyeliest salts
