The death of Don Piatt deprives the
world of a man of great and original
intellectual strength, who, through the
sharpness OF his pen, guided by an acute
and observing mind, singularly angular
and unswayable by ordinary influences,
had made himself power in the land.
Don Piatt's best work was done in his
newspaper, the Capitol, at Washington.
He made that paper great and force
full political mouthpiece, and furnished
the suggestion and thought upon lead
ing national questions for large section
of the Democratic press. His powerful
personality will create void in the
world of newspaper literature no one
now known to fame can fill.

LIT US MOVE UPON CONGRESS.

The chamber of commerce is well dis
posed to take steps to arouse the people
of this locality to energetic action in
urging upon congress the Importance of
making an adequate appropriation to
complete the work of deepening the har-
| Dor at San Pedro.
There is no doubt that with an appro-
priation OF half million or million
dollars the government would secure to
us harbor at San Pedro that would be
accessible to ships of large draft. With
the work that has already been done,
the harbor is accessible to vessels draw
ing twelve feet OF water. From the be-
ginning, the entire amount OF money
spent on this harbor does not reach
three-quarters of a million dollars, and
see what that comparatively small sum
has accomplished. When the work was
first begun one could wade across the
entrance to the harbor at Dead Mans
island. Now vessels of one thousand
tons can safely enter the channel and
find moorings at the wharves in the
inner harbor.
There is no difficulty about getting
depth OF water in the inner harbor by |
dredging; the alluvial deposits are soft |
and reach down indefinitely. Ii the
commerce OF the port would justify it,
basins could be scooped ont between
San Pedro and Wilmington that would
afford safe mooring for feet of thou
sand ships. Glasgow, three-quarters of
a century ago, did not possess better ad-
vantages TO, harbor purposes than San
Pedro now has; and yet she is today one
If the great seaports of the world.
If the interior harbor can be dredged
% a sufficient depth to accommodate
,essels of large class, it only remains
hat the bar at the entrance should be
owered to corresponding depth. Con-
,ress has only to grant the money re-
Iuired to do the work, and there will be
10 difficulty in accomplishing it.
We are aware that there have been
difficulties raised about the impene-
'rable character OF the concrete forma-
lion at the mouth of the harbor. But
dynamite would get away with it. If
,he same impediment existed at the en-
rance OF an important eastern harbor,
t would soon be overcome. Hellgate,

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1e, 1891.

ONO women have begun a crusade
against indecent theatrical posters. In
the town of Kent they visited every
store and saloon where the faring pos
ters of burlesque troupe presented
groups of gaudy girls in short dresses
and decoilete limbs kicking the air with
elongated toes, and tore them down.
Truth to say, there is room for much
reformation in this kind of dead-wall ad-
vertising. The high-kickers are pain
fully prevalent, and the limb signs
should be consigned to the limbo of for
bidden things.

Miners VIII Let Convicts Work Cntll the
Legislature Settles the Matter.
The Tennessee miners upon the advice of
their leaders have accepted the proposition
of Gov. Buchanan until the legislature can
be convened to settle the controversy about
the convicts being permitted to work. This
did not meet with anything like universal
satisfaction, but the implicit confidence that
the miners have in their leaders was shown
by u unanimous vote to accept the report Of
the committee on resolutions. The resolu-
tions were that the convicts should be re-
turned to the mines, the miners guarantee
ing that they should not be molested. The
militia is to be ordered home, and sixty
days will be allowed to convene the lcgisla-
1urc, during which time no convicts shall
be molested and the miners, if necessary.
will place guards to see that the promises
are kept good. There is no longer any
doubt but that Gov Buchanan will return
the convicts to the mines at Coal Creek and
Bryceville. The conference committee is
of the opinion that if they are returned
with only such guards as are necessary to
keep them in custody. there will be no in
reference with them until the legislature
has meeting, but if the militia returns
with them they will have Il conflict.

FARMERS WHEAT TRUST,
A Gigantic Scheme to Hold New Wheat
for High Prices.

'
tor High Prices.
ST. Paul has been the headquarters of the
national movement by the United Farmers
Alliance to corner the entire wheat crop of
the country. AT No. 3l7 Malaysia street
for several days Il large force of employees
has been engaged in sending out circulars
with II view to helping all classes of farmers
keep back their wheat crop until the prices
have been advanced to a high point The
plan is to unite the farmers in a gigantic
wheat trust in which the producers shall be
the stockholders and by which the spccula-
tors and wheat buyers may be squeezed to
the wall. George NJ. Muller. editor of The
State and a prominent alliance man. is at
the head of the movement. The wheat crop
of the United States OF 1901 is estimated at
SOC, 600 bushels and the promoters of the
farmers trust believe that four-fifths of
this can be held back by the farmers from
four to eight weeks. by which time it is
thought prices will have gone sky
ward. Circulars have already been
sent to the secretaries OF the alli-
ances in all the wheat growing states.
II. w. Aver, secretary to President Polk,
of the farmers alliance and manager of the
reform press bureau" says the work of
sending out the circulars designed to show
the farmers of the country that it is their
advantage to hold back the wheat crop,
said in an interview ut Washington that al
ready 100000 of these circulars had been
sent out from Washington, and during /,
few days an average of 100000 day will
mailed. until more than a million circulars
altogether are issued.
