The Largest Sewer in the World.

1t is said there is now being built in
Washington, d. g., 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 sewers in
Paris. For over 1000 feet 1t is circular
sewer of ~ feet in diameter, There is
connected with 1t a sewer OF 5000, or
nearly one mile in length, OF 20 feet in
diameter. A fully equipped palace car,
locomotive and all, could be run through
1t without difficulty. This enormous
ever 10 intended to drain the immense
watershed 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 seweas in the
northern part Of the city. 1t will take
probably a year to complete the work.
The Boundary street sewer, with it's con-
Meeting systems, will cost when COM

The AUSTIN Statesman has enlisted
for the war, under the banners of Swain.
In pushing its candidate to the front, 1t
charges the present state administra-
ton with using the power of the state
government against Swain, and that it is
doing so as the result Of bargain and
sale "signed, sealed and delivered"
The terms Of this bargain according to
the Statesman were, that for the help
given Ross AZ gubernatorial candidate,
he was to turn the influence Of the ne W
administration in favor OF Ireland's can
didacy before the legislature. This is all
very plausible, but can the Statesman
show the papers for this soft impesch-
ment?

II THE democracy OF the state can
worm any satisfaction out Of the pusil-
animous conduct Of the national demo-
cratic stupinds at Washington they are
welcome to the extract. Cuttings case
WAS bad enough, but the cold blOOded
murder perpstrated by the Mexican au-
thorities upon Francisco Aurreusis, OF
Eagle Pass, under the sanction or with
the connivance OF the good democrat
who acts as extraditiOn agent at that
point, is Infinitely more unJustiiiable.
The victim in this instance was an
American citizen OF 10 years standing,
his naturalization papers bearing date
1873. He was arrested on trumped up
charge of horse stealing and his extra
dition as such demanded by the Mexi-
can authorities, n o iota OF evidence in
support Of the charge being addnced.
The extradition agent fully informed, it
is said, that the charge was a pretext
and that an old grudge was at the bot
tom Of the demand, yielded him up and
according to general expectation Aur-
reusis was shot next day. Governor Ire
land will hold the Texas officers respon-
sible for their share In this matter, and
he has dismissed the extraditiOn agent,
Job Hofstetter, from his post. The cOun-
try will hold the democratic party re-
sponsible for the indifference and cow
ardice Of this democratic administra-
tion, which allows fifth rate power like
Mexico to insult the United States with
impunity and murder her citizens, and
will dismiss that party from the exer
else OF power for which 1t has shown
itself manifestly unfit.

The quite severe criticism made upon
Miss Cleveland's novel by recent re-
viewer seems to be justified BY the re-
port Of sales; at least the work appears
to be In very light demand. Her essays
were Of character more suited to her
epigramatic and somewhat fragmentary
style, and sold reasonably well, nearly
1000 copies having been disposed Of In
Washington. Not one-tenth that num-
Der OF the novel have been sold, and the
demand seems already exhausted. Miss
Cleveland as a novelist on her own mer-
Its, after the curiosity Of the public has
been stated, and Miss Cleveland as the
mistress OF the White House. In the role
OF brand new esssyist, are two very
distinct things. This distictlon marks
the difference in the reception met with
by her novel and her volume OF essays.
How she win succeed In the editorial
chair OF literary journal is one Of the
questions for the future to answer. Sue
cess will add nothing to, failure detract
nothing from the womRnly self-relisnce
and cheerful independence that have
characterized her life hitherto. As A
woman Miss Cleveland will always be
kindly remembered and spoken of with
! the most friendly consideration.

The Austin city authorities, having
under contemplation the construction Of
a system Of city sewers, plan is sub
mitted to change the bed of the river,
giving a constant and deeper current on
the city front and make this the receiv-
er for the city sewage. 1t is asserted for
this proposition that it ia more practice
able than receiving sewer parallel
with the river bed and infinitely cheap
er. Austin is moving in earnest for a
ever system.

It promised little it has performed moth
ing. In nothing has this truth been
more apparent than in its ignOminOus
failure TO grapple with the industrial
questions Of the day. Not one of the
standing committees Of the house Of rep
resentatives started out with greater
flourish of trumpets than the labor COM
mittee. 1t was composed Of some Of the
very best material that could have been
selected from that body; it was under
stood that this committee should Origi-
nate some practical measures Of legisla.
tion upon which the democratic party
could make a record and go before the
country at the fall elections. The ses-
sion is closing and what has been ac-
complished. The committee entered
upon their work with all commendable
Zeal. Chairman O'Neil, of Missouri,
WAS regarded as the very best man pos
sible for the position. He was earnest,
energetic, tireless, and supposed to be a
genuine advocate Of labor reform. He
got his committee together twice every
week. The whole ground of pauper
and convict labor was gone over in the
committee again and again and resulted
in r bill prohibiting the importation OF
pauper labor, and the employment Of
convict labor on any of the United States
constructions, or the use OF any material
in such constructions that had been pre-
pared by convict labor. This bill was
put on the house calendar last April and
remains there. After any amount OF
skirmishing, June 18th was finally set as
date for the consideration Of the labor
bill, but when that day came by a paIlia-
mentary trick, Holman got the floor,
with the oonnivance of his democratic
friends, and the house took up the con-
sideration OF the legislative approprls-
ton bill. The members directly respon-
sibe for this manoeuvre were Holman,
Morrison, Randall, Reagan, Springer,
Breckenridge, Hammond and such
staunch democratic leaders. The repub-
lican minority are on record as favoring
every movement of labor to meet Its
proper recognition at the hands OF the
house. The arbitration bill, forced upon
the notice of the house by the scare in
congress incident to the southwestern
railway strike, Jared but little better.
True, 1t was not actually strangled, but
IL was made practically useless meas
ure, and :he animus of the democratic
members, among them Reagan, Of Tex
as, was very strongly developed during
the acrimonious debate which followed,
In which the bill was denounced as a
covert attempt to array the classes
against each other. Look through the
records Of the house, note the bills On
labor Of one kind or another laid away
to dry, consider the course of congress
In relation thereto, and there Ia no es-
cape from the conclusion that this dem
Ocratic congress In Its labor legislation
Is decidedly hostile to the laboring
classes Of this country.
