A NEW COAL MARKET.

The announcement that American coal
is rapidly replacing the English article as
q fuel, on the great steamship lines will be
good news here. The North German LLOYD
and the Hamburg-American Packet CON-
pany, in deciding on the use of the American
fuel, were no doubt Influenced as much by
price as by quality; but the fact remains
that another market has been found This
means more work for the American miners,
and will do much toward preventing pro-
tracted shut downs If the Lake Erie canal
was in the ground instead of on paper, the
new customers would undoubtedly draw
from our fruitful fields, and Pittsburg would
be a gamer.
1t is not expected that the American fuel
will ever gain the entire custom of the
steamship lines. The English article will
no doubt continue in favor for use on
passenger vessels, on account of its tendency
to produce less smoke. But as to the freight
ers, it can be confidently expected that the
greater part of the coal burned will be mined
in this country. As these greatly outnum-
Der the passenger craft, and as more coal is
consumed in transporting ocean freight than
passengers, it will be seen that America is
somewhat ahead.

The tragic occurrence at the Morewood
Coke Works yesterday morning affords con-
vincing evidence of the necessity of the
warnings against disorder to which The
DISPATCH has given utterance during the
past few days. 1t not only calls for the
steps at repressing further riot, which have
been taken in ordering out the militia, but
indicates the need of enforcing the lesson,
that this country must be ruled by law.
1t should be impressed on every mind
that mob law cannot be tolerated. The vio-
lence of anarchy ifpermitted, would plunge
the nation into universal ruin. But one
answer is possible TO rioters who engage in
the deliberate destruction of property and
attack the representatives of the law.
When, on any pretense, mob undertakes
such acts, il must be met with the supremest
demonstration of the power OF the law. Ter
Iible as was the lesson of yesterday, it is
clear, unless the facts are wholly falsifed,
that the rioters incurred the responsibility
of the tragic affair and alienated public
sympathy from their cause.
OF course it is necessary to notice the
claim made bv labor leaders. that the crowd
fred on was simply passing along the high
way from 4 mass meeting without any in
imical intention or demonstrations. This
statement differs radically from the state
ment of other sources, that there was a con-
centration OF the rioters from different
points, and that after being called on to halt
they made an attack on the property which
ha Of ho lou
Which statement is true and which false
will be brought out by judicial investiga-
tion. But apart from this contradiction, it
must be said that the attitude of the rioters
and their preceding acts have been such as
TO justify the prinlG fdciG belief that large
force of them at the works, in the early hours
of the morning, were not there for lawful
and orderly purposes.
1t is hardly possible to avoid the bearing
of this outbreak upon the policy of flooding
the industries Of the country with the cheap
labor of reckless and unassimilated foreign
ers. The distinction between the respect for
law paid by the American workmen, in
their most exciting struggles, and the des-
perate and irresponsible character of the
foreign workmen so largely brought into
this country of late years, is emphasized by
this event. II certainly suggests that the
direct responsibility of those who have
stirred up these ignorant men to disorder is
accompanied by an indirect responsibility
of those who have been instrumental in
bringing this lawless and violent element
into the country.
Deplorable as bloodshed always must be,
the lesson of yesterday will not be without
its benefit, if it makes clear that, in every
contingency, law and order must stand
supreme and unchallenged. The hand raised
against the law, the public peace, and the
rights of individuals only beckons quick
and sure destruction to ITSELF

TORY ENJOYMENT,

The British papers that take such enjoy
ment over the recall of Baron Fava can be
assured that Uncle Sam will not interfere
with their mirth. Not that he has too much
on his hands at present, but that it is not
his policy to take the vaporings of the
English press seriously. Several times in
the past the Tory newspapers have ex-
pressed their satisfaction when this nation
was in tight place, and forgot to offer con-
gratulaiions when the troubles were over.
They WELD such little influence that can be
made detrimental to this country that their
present outburst can be treated with con-
tempt
The deplorable ignorance displayed by
some of the mirthfuI editors about the Con-
stitution of the United States leads US to
suppose that the Tory mind, used to forming
ideas for the unconditional support of a
throne, is not capable of understanding the
principles of popular government as set forth
in the Declaration of Independence. They
remind US of the owls which, looking at the
SUI, could see nothing, and were proud of
their blindness.

WITH US ONCE MORE.

The cry of "Play Ball' will soon be
heard in crackless, high-boarded grounds
all over the land. Thrones totter, blood
flows, fire leaves ash heaps, floods spread
slime, but the umpire braves the blast:
from the bleachers and the game goes on
forever But this season it goes on under
more favorable auspices. This time last
wear treason stood where friendship fell.
Revolution and revenge were the batteries
and the turn-stile was the umpire. 1t was a
fight from start to fnish-a trial of strength
between player and public, in which the
latter learned that gold and not glory was
what the boys were after.
Now the battle is less noisy. In the
shakeup incident to the peace patched be-
tween the big ones in the rival camps new
blood gets a show. Some of the heavy hit
ters and clever catchers have gone down
some darlings have been sacrificed. This
fact adds zest to the coming struggle for the
pennant, Tor the public will watch with in
terest the development of the infant class
in the direction Of home runs and harmony.

THE NEW IMMIGRATION LAW.

The new law for the regulation of immi-
grafton went into effect Wednesday. Its
provisions are far more sweeping than the
enactment it displaced; but if it is not en-
forced any better than the old law the chaff
will not be separated from the wheat at the
gateways. Under the new law agents Of the
Government are afforded every opportunity
to inspect and pass upon the fitness of the
newcomers for selEsustaining citizenship.
The INDECENT, criminal and undesirable
classes shipped by inscriptions agents of
steamship companies, and allowed to gain a
foothold here under the loose workings and
red tapeism of the law of 1885, will, if the
Federal agents do their duty, be barred
hereafter Provision is made for the speedy
settlement of all causes growing out of the
enforcement of the law, and the penalties
provided are such as to guarantee security
against Europe's undesirable squads; pro-
vided, OF course, the guards at the ever
swinging doors are conscientiously active.
With the classes boycotted by the new
Law liberty means license, freedom means
unsweated food, citizenship means nothing.
They were drones and criminals in their
native land, and would become burden
and a menace here. The law that shuts
them out is just. Its strict enforcement is
demanded by justice.

ARTISTIC AND MANUAL TRAINING.

The conference of educators to be held in
Boston next week has been correctly termed
of more than usual interest. 1t is to be de-
voted mainly to ant and manual training in
the public schools. That convention, ma
tIonal in its makeup, is to consider these
subjects, draws attention to the remarkable
strides lately made by both artistic and
manual training as parts of our public
school course. The former is more widely
in vogue than the latter, but both are max
ing their influence felt.
The scholar taught the artistic unities will
not feel like accepting position as we'll
digger, but well-diggers are just as i'm
portant to the world at large as draughts-
men. The expert draughtsman, how
ever, need not become we'll
digger, though he who is not an
expert will very often find himself COM
PEELED to do most anything to gain liveli-
hood. There is no use for incompetent men
in any business, and in this fact can be
found great objection to artistic training
as now pursued. In our public schools
children must spend portion of their time
over drawing books whether they have
inclination for the study or not. This re-
suits, in the latter case, in one of two
things with each unappreciative scholar:
either he will be forever disguised with
everything pertaining to art, or he will i'm
bibe the idea that the use of the pencil re-
uuires no native talent. This idea leads
him to adopt a profession which reuu
talent in connection with the knowledge of
the schools, and he finds that he is pushed
to the wall by men who, unlike him, have
both. Then to live he must work at some
thing else and is for the balance of his days
q dissatisfied man.
The objection to manual training rests on
the fact that most children cannot spend the
time necessary to receive complete mental
and manual education at school. When
boy reaches the age of fourteen or fifteen he
should have mastered at least the rudi-
mentary studies and, if necessary, be able to
leave school and seek employment This
the majority Uf scholars cannot do. The
course of study is already so extensive that
at the ages mentioned they have but q
smattering of many and not much of any.
To add manual training to the course would
only make matters worse. Technical train
ing schools, where a finished education is
secondary to the arts and sciences, are a
refuge for all whose talents lie in those
directions. A primary course in the com.
mon schools sufficient to draw such talents
