OF the southern ports, there should DO . con-
sular agent appointed by the president who
should perform the duties now discharged by
~consuls, and be allowed to engage in trade, to
act as the agent of American merchants and
manufacturers and introduce their goods. An
other measure of great importance was to sub
sidize steamship lines until a should
be built up that could sustain them.

At a recent meeting of the Young Men B Ne
publican club of New York, a
was appointed to investigate the Punlo fecoro
OF Gov. Cleveland, and to report It's cohclu-
sions. In its report, which was lmmedla'ely
adopted by the executive committee, says
We have given a thorough and searching
examination of his course as governor, anu We
have been constrained to conclude llae al
though he has given his executive sanoton 10
certain reformatory measures or consluet-
able public importance, yet his failure TO ap-
prove of measures of still greater andisEmoi
reaching interest, when presented TO hlhl IN
the form of actual legislation, together WIN
the unsatisfactory and often tiimsy reasons
given in explanations of his course, as wei as
his approval of certain measures not only
questionable, but actually perniclous, prove
clearly and unmistakably that he has not al
WAYS been governed by a purpose single 10
the rights Of the people, but has frequently
permitted the pressure of politicians and the
desire to advance his own political fortunes
TO triumph over the interests of reform.
In regard to the tenure of office bill the re-
port says:
When the bill was amended and passed in
the assembly, providing that the term of any
commissioners or head of department should
expire with that of the mayor appointing nm,
Gov. Cleveland. to the disappointment and
chagrin of every true friend OF reform, and
regardless of pledges heretofore made, refus-
ed to sign the bill The governors reasons
for his course are disingeuuous IN the ex-
treme. The bill affected the term of office
of the commissioner of public works and the
CORPORATION counsel. The incumbent of the
former was, and still is, Hubert o. Thompson,
the boss or leader of the county Democracy.
1t is safe to say that Gov. Cleveland could
never have been nominated without the lnfiu-
ence of Hubert o. Thompson.
The subcommittee rec1tes the charges made
by the assembly investigating committee
against Sheriff Davidson, and says:
These charges were so important TO the peo-
pie of New York that the governor should have
passed upon them in ere way or another III the
three months that have elapsed since they
were submitted to him. The governors fail
IRE to act shows that he lacks 8 high sense of
duty to the people. If he should acquit the
sheriff he would bring Town on him the indig-
nation of an outraged public; if he should re-
move Sheriff Davidson, who is the acknowl-
edged leader of Irving hall, he would lose the
support of that organization.
The report reviews the governors course
upon the five-cent fare bill, the merchants
lien bill and others, and his letter of accept
ance, and concludes as follows:
In view of the above facts, your subcommlt-
tee is forced to the conclusion tlat neither by
experience, ability, nor character, is Gov.
Cleveland fitted for the presidency nor entitled
to the support of indedendent and conscien-
tious voters.

national debt now at the option of the
government, have been reduced in

ofthis denomination of bonds since June
30 has been $24, 5SS, $50. AT this rate
all the 8 per cents will be paid in two
years. None other of the national debt

Hazen on the Rxpedition.

WASHINGTON, October 22.-In his
annual report General Hazen, in treating
Of the Arctic expedition says, after refer
ring to the departure of the Yantic, after
the loss of the Proteus, from Littleton
Island to St Johns without leaving pro-
visions, that this abandonment of Lieu
tenant Greedy and his party to possible
starvation by the officers whose only mis-
sion in those waters was to succor them,
displayed a lamentable disregard of grave
responsibility. He holds that if Lieuten-
ant Darlington had insisted upon leaving
rations from the Yantic, or if another YES
sci had been sent from ST. Johns, as he
says he himself urged, the loss of life
and the disaster would have been avoided
and General Hazen says Lieutenant
Greedy carried out his instructions literally
and the Signal Bureau carried out its
prearranged plan. He continues, after
referring to Lieut.. Greely's relief, to Cape
Sabine and to the success of the relief
expedition under Commander Schley as
follows; up to the return of the ex-
petition this year L had hoped there
would be no occasion for raising the
question of blame at this or any future
time, but a new light has been cast upon
the subject and with it, my duty be-
comes plain and the truth of history and
justice to all calls for such impartial in
inquiry and authoritative judgment as a
tribunal broad enough to embrace
the whole question shall institute and
pronounce. and the Congress of the
United States is manifestly such a tribunal.
[, therefore, trust this whole matter of
the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition and
the expeditions organized for its relief
will be deemed worthy of thorough in
vestigation by Congress-" General
Hazen regards the Greedy expedition
as Among the foremost of its
kind" and insists that both Lieutenant

replace the spoiled provisions at Cape

tons of rum and 100 of alcohol in the
English cache here, and 2l0 pounds of
mouldy English bread. spoiled English
chocolate and potatoes, melted sugar and
2ls pounds of rotten dog h%uscuit, we
would, without doubt, be saved" Gen

left two-thirds Of the stores rescued from
the Proteus at Cape Sabine.
