UNDESIRABLE CITIZENS.

Striking workmen in the coal region
Of Pennsylvania attacked the works OF
the Prick coke company, attempting to
wreck them. Deputy sheritfs who were
stationed in the buildings ordered the
mob TO desist in their work OF destruc-
ton, and were fred on. They returned
the fire and number Of the aSsailants
We're killed. Nearly all of the riotous
workmen who were killed were Poles,
and had not thrown of their allegiance
to the Austrian government. The
Austrian consul at Pittsburg will take
cognizance Of the matter and demand
indemnity for the killing of the rioters.
We 90 not know what answer the
president will make to this demand. If
it is acknowledged to be just, it will be
paid. Then the first act of the next
congress should be to close our ports
against the Italians and Poles, and
make them keep out of this country.
These vermin-ridden offscourings Of
European degradation swarm to Amer
lea in quest Of work. Living like
beasts they underbid our native labor
ers ana supplGnt them in those occupa-
tons where mere strength and not in
telligence is demanded. They have TO
thought OF becoming citizens, and it
would be worse for the country il they
did. They are here for plumber. Dis
regarding the rights OF property, and
assailing the representatives OF the Law
sent to protect property, they are slain.
Then come demands from the powers
that had thought themselves well rid
Of these pests OF society for blood
money. Well, we can afford to pay well
for few corpses, if the lesson shall
result in keeping others OF that class
away.

Very unjustly the Southern people and
the Southern press are both sometimes
charged with utterances for which they
are not responsible Not long since the
Texas legislature held memorial exercise
at Austin on the occasion OF the receipt of y
picture Of Jefferson Davis. The New York
Tribune criticised some of the remarks of
the speakers, and justly held them respon-
sible for reviving sectional issues. 4
reader of Frank IeSle's Illustrated News
paper from Dallas, Tex, writes letter II
which he begs shat the people OF the North
viii not be misled by the violence OF Q few Of
the hot heads Of the South. He inCloSes
clipping from the Fort Worth GAZETTE 70
prove that the majority of the Southern peo-
pie are willing to let the record of the past
oe forgotten, and to forgive and forget. He
asks Us to quote TIE GAzETTE's article, but
we have room only for q few passages wei
worth the attention Of our readers in every
section of the Union. TIE GAZETTE, which
is q representative paper Of Texas, says:
IF we to-day are living IN 1861 we should be
honest and light Northern capital Northern
mmigrI lion, Northern merchants Gs We did in
1861; and. 10 be consistent. We should applaud
the Northern bloody shlrter. Il We today are
living in 1871 We should leglslate Tor The present

il and proclaim our own dishonesty in profess
ing what We do not feel THE GAZETTE is
Southern in blood and bone. It believes the
South WAS right, and demands that history be
true; but the south has accepted defeat and
Union. and should be honest in its daily invita-
ton to the North. The country wants no
Northern or Southern history. but true his
tory-wEether the picture shows Yankee bayC-
nets in rebel backs, or rebel bayOEets in Yam
kee backs, for THE GAZETTE does assure the
Texas senate, from personal experience, that
the rebs could get over ground when necessary
al . speed to make the Texas mule-eared rabbit
blush. II Yankees only ram why did the South
surrender? But this is vain preaching. The
true manhood OF the South is best exemplihed
in honest uIter3nce and loyalty to the Union.
Tie south has professed that loyalty and
should be honest. The South is honest, and if
Southern politicians doubt IL and go on raking
in the ashes OF :! dead past, they Will be sent to

OUR pugnacious feliow-citizens who
have offered their services as soldiers
should war grow out OF the rupture
with Italy have not stopped to think
what they would do. Such q war would
be purely naval in its character, and a
land soldier would be as much out Of
place as a fish en- dry land. Ironclads
and trained mariners would do the
work. There would be no field fight
ing. We have not ships to transport
enough men to Italy to make an I'M
preston, nor could that nation land
force enough anywhere in this country
to furnish holiday for our regular
army. What we need are modern war
ships and high-power guns, & few of
which count for more in such war
than million volunteers.

AvICAKloUs SACRIFICE.

Eastern despots. who live in dread
OF assassination, have 'tasters, whose
pleasant duty it is to take 3 bit or sip
of whatever is offered the royal nonen-
titv to eat or drink If the faster dies,
the food has been poisoned, and the
king les it alone.
Mr.. Parnells wisdom has led him to
the practice Of this Eastern custom.
When Davitt challenged him to resign
his seat in parliament, he Offering to
do the same, they to go before the peo-
pie OF Dublin for vindication of their
conduct. Parnell appeared to accept the
proposition. But first he put up Par
ueIlite candidate against a McCarthyite
in . sort OF preliminary election. to test
the temper of the people. His man
was beaten. Mr.. Parnell will not re-
sign. That dish was poisoned, and the
tas,er is dead SO he doesn't want any
Of it, thank you.

DEVELOPMENT IN THE SOUTH.

The Chattanooga Tradesman has a
ta6uIated and comparative statement
OF the industrial growth of the South
during the first quarter of 1891 that
is both interesting and instructive. OF
the thirteen states represented in the
list Georgia leads with the establish
ment OF ia industries during January
March inclusive. Texas is close
second, with 10 TO her credit and Vir-
ginia follows with l01. The total for
all the states is S53, against S37 during
the corresponding quarter OF last
year, and 6l2 in 1889. These figures
show healthful development Of the
South and is particularly interesting
on account of the uniformity in the
growth. No particular lines are fol-
lowed but the diversity, on the other
hand. is one Of the encouraging
features. Another interesting point
noted is the fact that the formation of
development and improvement COM
