Primitive Justice.
From the Philadelphia Ledger Qnd).

has but one penalty for every offense The
culprit is killed, and thus the community
is assured that his criminal career is end
ed for certain. Such rude justice may
serve the purpose in the eXigencies of such
a situation as these people are in; but be-
fore any kind of organized society can be
set up among them, there must be courts
and the peaceful application of the law
of the land in the trial and punishment of
all offenders.

The people have been thoroughly cured
of the boom malady, and il is now pos
sible for an investor to come into the
south and study the ground without run
ming across gangs of promoters with small
consciences and lively imaginations. Iron
furnaces are no longer built for the pur-
pose of selling town lots, but. such furn-
aces continue to be erected as the iron
business may justify. The water has been
shaken out of Industrial enterprises gen
orally, and all business is on a safe and

that the National Rifle Association might

Some Of the miners appear willing to ar
bitrate their differences with the opera
tors. but they insist that they will not
accept less than 50 cents. In other words,
they want their arbitration begun on a
e9-cent basis. This is just the difficulty,
since the operators are convinced that
this is a false premise, upon which an
attempt to arrive at a logical conclusion
would be fruitless.

effort was made to have this showing
as nearly absolutely complete and

productions of counties having no
railroads were not shown on the

When it is remembered that the

various counties, is their surplus,
after retaining sufficient for their
