TnE OHIO IlIpROVEMENT.
Endorsement OF the Wing Dam
Project

To tho Editor Of tho Pitnbhyh Telegraph:
Your article in yesterdays paper on
tho improvement Of the Ohio river and
the recommendation Of wing dams, have
brought to my mind the recollection Of
what was probably the first wing dam
ever constructed on the Ohio river. In
1888, which was known as the "dry sea-
son." I was at Buffington's Island. In
October OF that year tho engineers having
charge Of the construction Of the wing dam
referred to In your article came down the
river in llat6oat fitted up for the pur-
pose, called the "Bess," accompanied by
a keelboat, which the men in their
employ occupied. As ] understood
at that time, the boats were in
struCted to follow the contemplated chan
mel. The old or regular channel was on
the Ohio side Of the island, which, at the
time named, had about ten inches Of wa.
ter. On the Virginia side there was pro-
badly about six inches OF water, which
was not enough for "BesS," and convoy by
some two or three inches. To overcome
the difficulty, they drove stakes IN, and
against these they bound gang.plank,
boards, keel. boat doors, and anything they
could command, and built a wing dam.
By this improyised dam the water was
raised sufficiently TO allow the boats 10
pass safely overlthc bar.
The wing dam, afterwards built by the
Government on the Virginia side Of this
island, was located on the same ground as
this crude dam was located, thirty.elght
years ago. fully agree with your article
about the manner Of improving the OHIO,
aud moro especially do ! concur with
you in your suggestions about referring
tho location Of dams to board Of pilots.

which we take from the qimeS'
He labored TO enlarge the area OF his
business with a singleness, and at times
relentlessness Of purpose which had in
it something Of the heroic. But he alb
iured the gain 10 be derived from extray-
agant profits about as sedulously as he
did the dear bought advantage to be de-
rived from false representations and OK
travagant professions. He kept faith
with the public 80 riGidIy and so long
that the public needed no persuasion TO
believe that his goods were what be rep
resented them to be. II was perhaps the
chief secret OF his success that the un-
skilled buyer could, in spite Of his lack OF
knowledge, secure as fair treatment from
n. Stewart as the skilled one could
obtain anywhere. His dealings with OPP
ponents have been characterized as harsh
and pitiless, but that was because he look
cd on commercial competition as a ays-
tenn OF warfare In which the longest purse
and the best direct energy were as much
entitled to their reward as the most skill

from such system, the many were the
gamers. Generous impulse would have
been set down by Mr.. Stewart as nm ele-
ment Of weakness in businesa transactions;
exact and unvarying justice as the ele-
ment Of most enduring strength.
wedo not believe this will be called
the record of successful life. Let US
hope that heprovided that after his death
men should take more kindly view Of
his memory.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE (LIMlTED) IN MIN.

method which will perhaps go far TO solve

Office OF school director, and the right to
vote for candidates for that office.
Wherever there were vacancies on school
boards, therefore, the women took their
prescribed but unaccustomed part in the
local elections on Tuesday last. The
Minneapolis papers report that, in the
portion OF the city east OF the Missio

the Democrats nominated two of-their
most popular men, and the Republicans
two Of their most effective women, and
the ladies-Mrs. Charlotte Van Cleye
and Mrs. Charlotte Winchell-were elect.
ed by 1i5 and 14S majority, There
were no noisy appeals, and only one
meeting was held, which was addressed
by women, but the canvass, though quiet,
was earnest, and several hundred ladies
uvaiIed themselves OF the right to vote.
The Tribune OF that city says: Separate
boxes had been provided for the ladies,
and to the credit OF their big and brawny
brothers, be it said, they were everywhere
treated with the highest courtesy and re-
spect, and one would hardly suspect from
casual observation that anything un-
usual was transpirlng in political or so.
