The Largest Sewer in the World.

WASHINGTON, October 1S.-There
is now building in Washington a
sewer which is larger by seven feet
than any other sewer in the world.
In its smallest part it is larger
than the largest of the sewers in
Paris. For over two thousand feet
it is circular sewer of twenty-five
feet in diameter. There is connec-
ted with it a sewer five thousand
feet, or nearly one mile in length,
of twenty feet in diameter. In the
sewers of Paris teams of horses are
employed to drag the boats that
are used to clean them out. A
fully equipped palace car train,
locomotive and all, could be run
through the sewer here with
out the slightest difficulty.
This enormous sewer is being
run under Boundary street, the
street that divides the city from
the county of Washington, on the
north. 1t is intended to drain the
immense water shed lying to the
north of the city. Besides that, it
will carry to the Eastern Branch
of the Potomac all the contents of
the smaller system of sewerage in
the northern part of the city. The
work was commenced by the pres
ent contractor, Mr.. Thos. Mccain,
of Brooklyn over a year ago. 1t
will take, probably, a year to COM
plete it. The &Boundary street
sewer, with its connecting systems,
will cost, when completed, over
100000.
The sewer is of brick, about three
and half feet thick. The crown
of it is protected with a covering
of cement grout about one foot
thick. About ten feet is complet.
ed each day, though one week sew.
enty-fve feet feet was completed
The District authorities intend tc
celebrate the occasion by taking
several hundred persons through
it on large boat, which which
will be built expressly tor the pur
pose. To engingeers the work il
one of the greatest possible Interest
and it has been inspected by en-
gineers from nearly ally all Of the
large cities of Europe,

The Enquirer PrOphesies and
Sounds the Alarm.

The Prohibition meeting at Mu-
sic Hall was a tremendous affair
There was nothing mythical about
it. Thousands of people were
present to hear the Prohibition
speakers. The full capacity of one
of the largest halls in the country
was not great enough to acc9mmo-
date those who desired to hear. 1t
was a demonstration of the busy
body party that ought to set every
man who is literally disposed in
his views of public affairs, and ev-
cry man who is interested directly
or indirectly in the vast brewing
and liquor interests hereabouts, to
thinking on the dangers of prohibi-
ton.
The simple truth may as we'll be
contemplated. The Prohibition
party, encouraged by the enormous
vote for the prohibition amend
ment which was submitted by a
Republican Legislature in 1888, is
growing and making ready to sue
coed the Republican party in the
politics of the country. Either the
Republican party must be swal-
lowed by the Prohibitionists or
must embrace Prohibition princi
pies.
The Democratic party is the
only refuge against prohibition in
Ohio. The Republican party, Ell
Their under its present name and
organization or through alliance
with the present Prohibition party,
is the only instrumentality through
which prohibition can be attained.
