OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Clearing the Harbor of
Distractions.
How the Points Which Now Jut
Above the Surface of the Bay
May Be Removed.

The proposition to remove Arch Rock
and Snag Rock from the bay. and thus Grad
icate a constant menace to navigation, is
one that has been discussed often before.
and, indeed, some preliminary surveys
were made at the time that Blossom Rock,
between Alcatraz and Goat islands, was
blown out. The present task will be a
small one compared TO the work done by
Contractor Won Schmidt in getting Bios
som Rock out of the way.
Arch Rock and Shag Rock lie just west
of Alcatraz, aud in the line of the Sausa-
Tito ferry. The Shag Rock is not the one
formerly claimed by A. w. Won Schmidt
and recently purchased by the Supervisors
as a site for Pesthouse. That is situated
just off Hunters Point; but those in Ques-
ton are small distractions. which jut out
of the bay only few feet, and indeed Shag
Rock is covered at high tide. So there is
no question about the ownership of them.
as nobody claims them. and all that Is
necessary is an appropriation by Congress
in the next river and hsrbor bill and the
expense will not be great.
Colonel Mendel, under whose super
vision the work would be done. is at
present out of the city. but one of his
assistants stated yesterday that there was
enough money left from the appropriations
for former surveys about the bay to pay
for making the preliminary surveys for the
work.
The rocks might be removed either by
the work of DIVERS" said he, putting in
small blasts of dynamite and cutting eff the
rocks az tile required depth, or more proba-
bly, by drilling right down through the top
and putting in charge of five or ten tons
of powder. The current formed by the
tides is probably strong enough there to
sweep away the pieces, after the rock was
shattered, and blast of that size would
blow out the rock for depth of twenty
five feet. at low tide. and that would be
sufficient for the passing of the largest
vessels afioat"
The petition is addressed to the Secre-
tary of War. and if he approves it the
surveys may be made at once, and the
amount necessary for the work can be
asked for without delay.
Under the old plan for harbor defenses
1t was at one time contemplated to put
gun on Arch Rock. to command the en-
trance to the bay. but those plans have
been abandoned. and its iemoval would in
no way disarrange the system for defend
ing the harbOr as it Is now contemplated.

THE RACE WAR.
Its Progress Among the Variety
Theater Actors.

-
Theater Actors.
The war between Manager Meyer Of the
Wigwam and the variety actors of this city
is still in progress.
About fifty variety performers held a
meeting at $50 California street Tuesday to
effect permanent organization and devise
further means 10 carry the race war to a
successful conclusion. 1t was decided
that the new organization should be called
the Variety Actors Mutual Protective
Association. its Intern ediate object being
to aid the grievance against Manager
Meyer Among the resolutions adopted
was the following:
Resolved, That we, the undersigned In fu-
ture shall positively decline engagements at
any place of amusement wherein negro per-
formers are engaged or under contract.
Managers of other variety theaters In
the city are heartily in accord with the
views of the actors aud have already SUBJ
scribed several hundred dollars to further
the movement.
Concerning the trouble that occurred
between Hum and McCree in the Wig
wan few nights since, friend of HUM
stated yesterday that published state
ments of the trouble have placed HUM in
a wrong light before the public. "Hunn
and McCreee,' said the speaker "had
been friends for long time, hadspiayed to-
gether, worn one anothers clothes and
spent one another's money, but things did
not run to suit McCree, who made some
unpleasant remarks concerning Hum,
who hearing Of 1t asked him if it was
true. McCree said 1t was, and in mo-
ment of passion Hum used his fist, but
was stopped before any damage was done.
The case has not been disI osed of yet, so
you see he could not have been fined for
the assault. / would like to add that Mr..
Hum is not a gun-fgbter, and does not
bear such a reputation"

What is the Matter?

For quite while, unless our memory is de.
fective, the Tillman newspapers, almost with
out exception, have made surs at "anti''
newspapers as whole, without specifying or
naming single newspaper or single in
stance, to which reference was had.
From extracts and editorials in the reli-
glous press, 1t seems to us that among the
church papers the same unkindly spirit ex.
lists towards all the secular press.
Following in this particular instance, the
examples set by our Tillman accusers and
our religious maligners, the Press and Banner
would he impersonal, and suggest that the re.
ligious press, like the Tlllman newspapers,
seem to arrogate to themselves an excessive
amount OF righteousness and then proceed to
show wherein the whole secular press is def.
ficient in those excellent qualities with which
they themselves presumably claim TO be so
pre-eminently endowed.
II It Is a sin to think evil OF ones neigh.
bors, and II the utterances OF ungenerous
words against less pretentious brethren who
may be, in their humble way, working accord.
ing to the lights before ther, Is wrong we fail
10 see wherein either the Tillman papers or
the religious press find any just reason TO
than those who come in 50 often for vile in
sinuation against character and honesty OF
purpose.
Is 1t because Of the inferiority Of the TILL
man papers, or is 1t because OF jealousy on the
part OF the religious press, that this condition
of things exists?
The secular press of course Is proper sub
ject OF criticism, and the "anti" papers must
be held to a strict account liability.
But, If you please, gentlemen, don't make
sweeping charges aud insinuations against
character and honesty of purpose.
Name your cause Of complaint, and lay the
blame at the door Of him who offends, and
don't make charges, which are not true,
against the whole, because of the errors of an
individual This covert way of fighting is
not fair.

The BarnweII Lynchfng.

We saw Mr.. ]. w. Wells of Greenwood on
our square last Monday. He was in Barn
we'll at the time of the lynching OF John
Peterson. Mr.. Wells is convinced that Peter
erson was guilty Of the assault on the young
lady, and does not disapprove OF the lynch
ing. He thinks people Of Barnwell-Tillman
and anti!Tillman-endorse the lynching, and
have no particular grounds Of complaint
against the Governor In surrendering Peter.
son.
Speaking for himself, Mr.. Wells thinks
Governor Tlllman ought not to be consured
for keeping one promise, namely: To head a
lynching party against any man who had as
saulted woman. He Is no great admirer OF
Governor Tillman, but he thinks he ought to
have due and proper credit when he keeps
his promise-this being about the only prom.
ise that he has kept to the letter.
