Down In Georgia there are three men
with various emotions, all growing out
of the same incident One of these Is a
murderer who attempted to escape from
Jail, Another is the sheriff of the county
who organized posse and secured the
neighborhood for the prisoner. The
other is the governor of the state, who
made haste to offer a large reward for
the capture of the murderer and had the
entire state looking out for him, In the
meantime, white all the excitement was
going on, the prisoner was still a pris-
oner within the Jail. He had merely
changed cells, and the sherlfr's wife
found him and placed him under lock ana
key, OF course the sheriff's wife does
not get the reward, since the man had
not escaped, but she has doubtless had
her share of the laugh on her husband

much, and they did not ask for an in
crease before striking. The men are not
organized and fully 50 per cent OF them
when asked the object Of the strike, con-
TESS they do not know, but have a vague
Idea that II is something or otncr.'
Considering the vast interests at stake
and the terrible tragedy which has all
ready occurred on account Of this appar-
emily causeless strike, 1t 10 the strangest
labor difficulty on record. AS Is general
ly known, these miners are OF the class
of foreigners which Is the least desirable
in this country, Ignorant, vicious, I'M
naturalizad, with no Intention of becom-
Ing citizens, they were brought into the
region by the operators and have taken
the place of the better class If natural
lied foreign born citizens and native
Americans, and the peculiar trouble the
operators are having with them now the
operators have themselves to thank for,
The incident Is another strong argu-
ment for stricter immigration laws, and,
taken together with other incidents oc-
curing, such as the evidences of increas-
ing boldness on the part of the anarch-
lists, most of whom are importatIons from
Europe, VIII Increase the sentiment for
more vigorous congressional action, 1t
Is one of the questions which should
come before the new Congress very early
in the session.
The people have been pettloning for
more stringent measures for the suppress
sion of the evils growing out of the too
free immigration laws, The only way to
get rid of the evils is to remove the
cause. This can only be done by ade-
quate immigration laws, and Congress
owes It to the public welfare to act,

actual buyings, being done at a decline
of IA for cable transfers and long sterl-
ing and of Is for demand sterling. The
price for demand sterling at the time
of the gold import movement last Sep
TENDER did not fall below 1914. Money
was cheaper in Europe and in London at
that time than now. The present stiffness
in the money market, it is believed, will
be only temporary, and the completion
of the operations connected with the
Union Pacific settlement and the dis
bursements, incident to the beginning
of the year will give relief. For this
reason the weakness of exchange has
not induced talk of gold imports at New
York. Gold is, however, on the way
from Australia to San Francisco.
