being needed before the trouble Is finally
compelled to subside. The rioters were not
Of American birth, nor, in fact was any
considerable proportion Of the mob entitled
to American citizenship-most of the men
were Poles. the balance were Italians and
Hungarians. A sound reason for the uh-
lawful demonstration is not yet forthcom-
ing, and 1t may sincerely be questioned
whether one can be found. The rioters were
not apparently hungry. for they do not
seem to have made any attack on bakeries
or provision-stores; they were simply ignor-
ant and british specimens Of low-grade hu-
manity, who, being themselves out Of en-
ployment. came to the conclusion that the
equities could not exist until all other men
were also Idle. 80 they organised in con-
siderable numbers. did these children of
hbsrty-seeking Poland and tax-ridden Italy,
and they drove from the workshops and
benches hundreds of men who were endeav-
orfng to earn an honest living by attending
strictly to their own business. OF course 1t
Is unfortunate that any considerable num-
Der of men Of any class or any nationality
should be out OF work, but the fact that
some thousands Of those who live In the
city Of Cleveland are 50 circumstanced can
not be used as an argument for the stop
page of all industry. The Cleveland author
tiles are to be commended for the prompt
ness Of their action in dispensing the dis
orderly multitude and In arresting the ring
leaders.

OF the commission OF his heinous crimes
until the sentence of death was pronounced
just eighty-one hours and thirty minutes
had elapsed. and during that time the GRIM

Virginia had given an example to the world
Of how lynchings could be made as infre-
quent as streams In a desert. The most
common feeling underlying the many
lynchings which take place in this country
Is the fear that through the slow workings
of the law criminals will finally escape the
full penalty Of their actions. Speedy, and

one In Virginia, take away from Judge
Lynch the last vestige of excuse for hold

members of the down-trodden race would
be thoroughly content in a country where
the form of government is even more lib

The activity which usually marks the
spring season in the real estate market
has not this year resulted In the volume
OF business that some dealers expected
and all hoped for, but the conditions are
FAR from depressing. While sales have not
been treading on one another's heels and
commissions have not been plentiful, still
q fair amount OF business has been and is
being done. There is. In the commercial
Sense" an abundance OF money that those
who control are anxious to place at the
ruling rate OF interest, where there is good
and sufficient security; at no time has there
been any loss OF confidence in local real
estate as an investment, in fact, the esti-
mate OF the soundness of this form of in
vestment has never perhaps been higher,
for the reason that there has been such a
shifting about in the values of other me-
dums for placing funds The substantial
character OF Washington real estate is
shown by the fact that the market today
does not present an array of attenuated
values as compared with the same period
last year or the year before. In addition,
a reasonable amount OF building is being
done and the years record of improve
ments will be an excellent one even IL 1t
does not come up TO the totals Of previous
years. Altogether those interested in the
welfare OF the city have much to be thank
full for; can truthfully say that the real
estate market has emerged from the stress
OF long period of depression without in
jury or any appearance Of depreciation.
OF course 1t goes without saying that this
result is due to the unique advantages Of
the city as a place of residence, to it's un-
doubted promise of future growth and to
the wise methods that have marked its ma
terial development

In consolidating the bureaux and divis-
ions in the War Department and in maxi
ing such reductions Of clerical force as
may be necessary. there are two things to
which Secretary Lamont should give care
full and personal attention. He should see
to II that the old Union soldier IL given
the benefit of every doubt, and that those
employees who were witnesses before the
coroners jury IN the Ford's Theater dis
aster case are fully protected. It Is to be
regretted that any discharges, save for per-
soral cause. should be necessary, for in
that particular department there have been
up to this time but few changes. and most
Of the clerks have held their positions for
many years. But there can be no fault
found with a cabinet cfficer for endeavorilg
to simplify and improve the methods Of
trarsacting official business; such reform is
real and the unfortunates can expect moth
ing more than sympathy. The work of
selecting those whG must suffer is doubt
less task Of considerable difficulty, but
1t Is to be hoped that as many as possible
Of the old soldiers will be spared. The law
says that. other things being equal. prefer
ence In the matter of appointment shall be
given to those who served the country
faithfully and were honorably discharged;
the spirit of that statutory provision should
be manifest in the Secretary's conclusions.
In view Of the fact that Secretary Lamont
himself promised to shield those who tes-
titled as to the horrible disaster in the old
Ford's Theater building, 1t may generally
be regarded as unnecessary to refer to the
proffer Of protection, but, because Of
rumors now commonly current, it may not
