The M. D. in attendance thinks

The Beaumont Enterprise says:
The report of the government engin
eer on Sabine Pass is most encour
aging. The water on the bar is.
deepening, and there is, or was six
monthB ago, a channel 1000 feet
wide, and 10 feet deep aU over. But
take the center of that ctiannel, say
300 feet wide, and our authority is
good in stating that the shallow
point is from 14 to 16 feet, to follow
the channel. But just as the engin
eer says, with one-third the money
expended, minus the $300,000 now
on hand and at present contracted,
the result has been "most satisfacto
ry." We have before us the record
of soundings of April 19, 1891, com
mencing at gulf end of east jetty,
taken about 125 feet apart, and the
depth is 16 feet, and the lowest
from that to the wreck of the Clif
ton is 14 feet, 1 inch and that is
only one sounding, the remaining
average being between 15 and 16
feet.
The alliance "encampment"' that
opened at Sulphur Springs Mon
day promises to be the largest gath
ering of laboringpeople ever brought
together in Texas. It was estimated
that 6,000 visitors or more were
present the first day. A correspond
ent there says: "This is strictly an
'encampment' of and for 'third party
ism.' The democrats of this and the
surrounding counties asked for a
division of time, but no time was
granted. Only a few of the speak
ers have arrived at present, but sev
eral prominent men in third party
circles will be in on to-night's train
Senator Peffer of Kansas, C. A.
Power of Terre Haute, Ind., ex
president of the Indiana farmers' al
liance, and President Evau Jones.
Tuesday Harry Tracy and T. J. An
derson, vice president of the F. S.
alliance, are expected. On Wednes
day E. W. Coleman, Stump Ashbv,
W. S. Morgan, Dr. C. W. Macune,
Ralph Beaumont of Washington, D.
U-, and li. Li. Polk of Worth Caro
lina, president of the national alli
ance, are expected. Judge Metho
dist Jim Davis delivered the address
of welcome, and also stated the ob
jects of thiB grand rallying of labor-
ltes. He stated the objects to be,
first, to discuss political, economic
and social questions; second, the two
old parties say that organized labor
should not go into politics, but we
propose to snow you that it must go
into politics in order to get relief so
vigorously sought for.. "Jim's'
speech was loudly cheered by the
multitude that listened with eager
ears what their "soothsayer" had to
impart to them. The response by
Stump Ashby per program was deliv
eied by Leo Rhodes of the 'free
state of Van Zandt.' '
A Washington special says : "Pa
pers in numerous applications and
recommendations for nine circuit
judgships have been arranged by the
department of justice, but they will
not be forwarded to Cape May as
the president has intimated his pur
pose not to take them up until his
return. It is rumored that three of
the appointees will be democrats, but
nothing definite is known. Should
any democrats be selected Judge
Culberson will doubtless be one of
them, as he has been strongly re
commended. Selections will not bo
finally determined upon until shortly
before congress convenes.
The Memphis Appeal-Avalanche,
commenting on the trouble with the
Coal Creek miners, says: "As it "used
to be' said of the pistol in Texas, a
man might pass a lifetime without
ever having need of the weapon, but
when he did he 'wanted it mighty
bad.' So with the state militia.
When the state does need soldiers it
needs them mightily, and would ba
completely .at a loss without them.
It should, therefore, change its pol
icy towards them."
The Farmers' Alliance have been
charged with engineering a scheme
to form a corner in wheat, and raise
the price of it. The charge was de
nied, out reports say that hundreds
of thouids of circulars Lave been

farmers of 'the country that it is to
their advantage to hold back their
wheat in order to force up the
price.
GBEENvfLLEHerald: "The fact that
Mr. Cleveland's enemies in and out
of Texas are raising such a hue and
cry against him now is the best evi
dence that they fear his strength be
fore the people. The politicians are
against Mr. Cleveland, and the peo
ple are for him. That's what's the
matter."
An excursion train at St. Maude,

nals bo as to bring the two trains
into collision.
