RIVER AND HARBOR IMPROVE
MENTS.

The ten-year fight between red tape rs
displayed by the U. S. Engineer Corps,
and private enterprise, pluck and perse-
verence rs shown by the eminent engin-
Ger, Captain Eads, in the matter OF deep
water ut the entrance to Galveston har-
Dor, is about to be renewed and become
as hot as ever. Galveston being the
natural outlet for the products OF the
great State OF Texas, it is absolutely
necessary that the bar at the mouth of
the harbor should carry sufficient water to
float loaded deep-water craft in and out
with safety. In 1874 a board Of U. S.
Engineers designed plans for the inn
provement OF the bar by the means OF
jetties, for which purpose Congress
appropriated in all 81 100000, all
OF which-by a recent report OF
another board OF officers from the same
corps-has been wasted in iruitless
efforts TO obtain deeper water, and the
material used in the construction OF what
is now a wreck, stands in the way OF
other effort. Losing hope OF relief
through the Government officers, the
Mayor and citizens appealed to Captain
Eads, and that gentleman promptly
condemned the work performed, and
offered 10 procure a channel OF thirty
feet mean depth at all times, for the sum
Of S7,500,O00, and he, not to receive a
cent till he obtained the desired result.
The Engineer Corps at once flew into a
passion and declared to Congress that
Eads' ideas were entirely wrong, and
that they could finish the work for $3.50.
900 more. For once, Congress listened to
reason and refused the money, and the
work Of years now lies menace to navi-
CATION and monument to the suicidal
policy OF Congress for the past ten years.
The sum OF 81 800, 900 has been thrown
away upon these worse than worthless
jetties, and all because the name of the
United States Engineer Corps was at
stake against the superior intelligence
and ability of Il private citizen, yet still
another board OF officers from the same
corps endorse all OF Captain Eads'
propositions and claim TO be able to carry
them out. Any business man can readily
see where the choice should be, as be-
tween both parties, One works through
red tape and the Treasury Department,
while the other calls to his aid all the
modern agents OF progress, and furnishes
the funds upon his own faith in
the success OF the work, yet Congress
holds aloof "letting 1 dare not, wait upon
/ would" and the whole gull seaboard is
in consequence seriously cramped for
shipping facilities, naturally decreasing
the amount OF revenue which deep water
would bring.
The same state OF affairs obtains at
Charleston, S. c., and on the st. Johns
river, in Florida, while for years the puny

KNIGHTS OF LABOR CONVENTION.

After some very wise, nterlarded with
some very unwise action, the convention
OF the Knights OF Labor at Cleveland
has adjourned sine die. Their wise ac-
ton consisted in so ordering their affairs,
that strikes may not take place until a
good reason exists for them, and that the
powerful boycott shall be so used as TO
teach those against whom it is aimed, TO
feel its full power. Their wisdom was al
so shown in the broad and tolerant spirit
which characterized all they did touching
the outside world, but the leaven of un-
wise action crept in when they
added names to the Executive
Board. This board is the keystone
of the order, and the material OF
which it is composed, should be like
Caesars wife, "beyond suspicion. How,
then, can the Knights look at the cleo
ton OF j. r. Buchanan, of the Denver
Labor Enquirer, in any other than a
rueful light? That proprietors OF labor
journals should hold membership in the
Order is well enough, but that they
should be placed where their individual
vote, mayhap, may turn the scale in
| favor of some particular hobby which
they find itpolitic to advocate in their col
umns, is altogether wrong and decidedly
dangerous. Buchanan is self-con-
fessed Anarchist, and yet the Order does
not cOuntenance such, and being of an
aggressive nature, his hare Drained ideas
council than those OF any other man, for
the reason that he is avowedly on the
rule or ruin policy, and has his paper to
back him.
has formulated species OF platform
upon which all future candidates for Con-
gressional honors must stand set forth
in their demands upon the present Con-
gress-would it not be the act OF reason
able men to throw their great weight into
the Democratic side of hepolitical scales,
wherein are such men as Foran, Lawlor
Mayberry and many others, who have
held to the laboring class through all their
troubles, and who are bound to them by
ties, feelings and aspirations similar tc
their own, rather than to risk all in an
attempt by themselves to force legis-
lation, or trust to their avowed enemies
the Republican party? This is the car
dinal point in the future career OF the
Knights of Labor, and the sooner they
decide to steer for it the sooner they will
be enabled to realize their hopes, and
place labor in u position to be impregna

just expressions OF capital.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.

II is thought that the Mormon lobby has
succeeded in staving off action on the Ed
munds bill for this session. The result IS
not altogether to be regretted, for the bill
contained some dangerous principles. Ihe
most important thing in Utah Just now is
an uncompromising enforcement of the laws
that already exist. Murray and zane ana
Dickson have proved that there is enough
law to make the Saints very uncomfortable.
lf Governor West will follow the example
of his predecessor, and not try to conciliate
convicted criminals with offers OF pardon,
polygamy will become n luxury in which few
followers of the martyred Joseph will care
to indulge.
The above, from the San Francisco
Post, instances the glibness with which
some journalists can write upon matters
Of which they know less than nothing.
The only similitude of fact is contained in
the first three lines OF the first paragraph.
So far as is known outside of the Com
mittee in whose hands the Edmunds bill
is mt present held, it contains no principle
dangerous to anybody or anything, ex-
cept the practicers Of treason and polyg-
amy. 1t merely furnishes the machinery
for the destruction of n political and
so-called ecclesiastical system which
the Post acknowledges should not be toll
Grated by the Federal Government. The
enforcemnt of the present laws is not the
most important thing just now in Utah.
The laws relating to polygamy have been
'uncompromisingl enforced' since their
passage. The penitentiary is filed with
of NJ ,r1 Oh nd eli 10 np
perceptible decrease in the practice, and
plural marriages continue TO be consum-
mated at as lively a rate as ever. Ex-
perience has proven that more effect
the evil, and that is decidedly the most
important thing in this Territory al
present. The Government OF the United
States and the Gentiles of Utah have q
higher aim than making "the Saints very
uncomfortable. The imprisonment OF Q
trihing percentage of the violators OF the
law is only desirable as one OF the means
for an entire reformation, and when il
becomes apparent that it in inadequate
for the purpose, more effectual remedies
should be applied. Governor West, il
making his conditional profler OF pardon
to the imprisoned polygamists, only fol
lowed the invariable custom of Judge
Zane and his colleagues prio
TO the passing of sentence in each case
and his action was not only endorsed
but was in all probability suggested b,
the judicial and prosecuting officers o
the Territory, whose course the Post 81
justly commends. 4. All that the law cal
do, has been and is being done. There il
no cause for complaint against the Gov
ernor or any other Federal official. Th,
fault lies in the law itself, the provision
of which do not meet the requirement.

TWEEDLEs DEE AND DUN.

Mr.. Blaine rises to explain. He says
he did not, in his Portland speech, apply
the words "impudent," "insolent," or
"brutal'' to Lord Salisbury. lie says he
applied them to his actions Mr..
Blaine says it is not parliamentary to say
that statement is not true, but that it is
parliamentary to say that its author is
guilty OF falsehood. In other words,
while you must not say that man lies,
it is strictly in accordance with Jeffer-
sons Manuel to call him liar. We
don't know anything about parliamentary
rules and usages as practiced in Wash
ington, or away down East in Maine, but
can easily imagine the result OF such
construction in any deliberative body
in the rude West, and especially on the
sunset side OF the Rockies, where the
people have not been educated up to such
fine parliamentary distinctions. We are
confident that the progress of an ink
stand or spittoon would be as rapid in
the direction OF the California, Nevada,
Oregon, or any other Pacific Coast legis-
lator, who would, in the most approved
parliamentary manner, call fellow-mem-
Der liar, us though he had outraged
both Jefferson and Cushing by question
ing the truth OF statement. Lord Sails
bury may derive comfort from the parlia-
mental character Of Mr.. Blaine's abuse,
but it is highly improbable that the lat
ter's explanation would satisfy the mem
ber from Mud Springs, Rye Patch, Web
foot Flat, or any other district represented
by man with the spirit of a caterpillar
or the brains OF chipmnnk.

THE HlBBs, CASE

tatfsN*fNwAsa ~
i The first point made by Mr.. Haw-
ley in the Hibbs case, in the United
States district court at Portland, was
that he could not under any circum-
stances see how the court had any
claim whatever to jurisdiction III the
case. He went on to say the people
in Northern Idaho were in peculiar
Position, and that in order to take a
prisoner to a proper and suitable Jail,
from lewiston to Boise City, it was
necessary to GO through portions Of
Oregon and Washington territory or
through Washington territory. Thus
II IS necessary to go through two otlI-
er United States court districts be-
tween here and Lewiston, and if Il
court here claimed jurisdiction and
The verdict Of the Judge should be I'M
satisfactory to the defendants counsel,
then, for all the plaintiffs knew. their
prisoner might be again arrested
while on route through another dis
trict between this city and Lewiston.
The side plea of the defendants
counsel as to whether or not the pos
tal inspector had with him the war
ant for Hobs removal several mouths
ago, was characterized by Mr.. Haw-
ley as being entirely out OF the case.
II there was anything irregular about
the case it was too late now to ring it
in; it should have been tested at the
time and not Introduced in the pres
cut case.
Mr.. Hawley boldly charged Hibbs'
attorneys with having brought the
prisoner here on charge which they
have now utterly abandoned and
which they thus are compelled to adj
init was false, viz: That the United
States marshal was taking the prisoner
to Iowa. BY this action, Mr.. Haw-
ley said, the defendants counsel
showed an utter want of good faith.
He did not consider the court would
pay much attention to the charge of
the defendants that there was any
thing irregular about the extraditon
proceedings. 1t is II fact claimed
that Hlbbs was indicted on eight
charges and was being taken to the
court at Lewiston to be arraigned on
four of them when the warrant was
served on their marshal, Mr.. Dubois.
The prisoner was unable to furnish
bail on the other four charges, in
which the bonds had been fixed at
$4,000 in each case. In passing Mr..
Hawley reminded the court that he
had twenty-nine more charges against
Hibbs to present to the grand jury
in Idaho.
The closing argument on the part of
the defendant was made by Mr..
Williams, and the case submitted.
Ii viii probably be some days before
the case is decided, and it is thought
there will be written decision of
some length News Miner.
