THAT CAR DRIVER BILL VETO

The Blaine papers have become a little
ashamed of their conduct in condemning
Gov. Cleveland for his veto of the five
cent fare bill. and finding that they have
been unable to mislead anybody by their
falsehoods and Misrepresentation con>
corning that matter, now say that Cleve>
land is monopolist and enemy of the
workingman because he vetoed the bill
reducing the hours of labor of the con-
ductors and drivers of street cars.
Considerable dishonest stress has been
laid on this matter by the Blaine organs
for the purpose of exciting the feelings of
the lsboring people against Governor
Cleveland
1t appears, however, that this bill was
passed by the republican legislature of
New York, knowing that it was uncOn-
stitntional and of no earthly account for
the express and dishonest purpose Of
making political capital out of it. for they
knew that Governor Cleveland could not
do else than veto it and be an honest and
independent executive. This fact is made
perfectly clear by the following from the
Brooklyn Union, republican paper of
the highest character and influence:
When it was discussed in the cities
committee, twosthirds of its members
laughed at it, and said that if it were en-
acted it would be dead law" All the

THE MATES NARRATIVE.
Some Light on the Fate Of Capt.
Lewis.

Lewis.
KEY WEST, Aug. Mate Walker, of the
Julia Baker, who has been personating Capt.
Lewis, the dead master of that vessel has
been arraigned before Commissioner Locke
ON charge of running away with the vessel
and disposing of her cargo. The testimony
proved that the master was sick when
the vessel sailed and continued 50 six days
On the sixth day the man at the wheel
saw the captain fall from his chair in the
cabin He was picked up by the mate and
steward and laid on a mattress on the cabin
floor. They then administered something TO
him from bottle The master died in few
minutes. The mate Immediately changed
the vessels course, so as to reach the Ba-
hama islands. He was originally bound for
Trinidad. Arriving at Fortune island, the
mate sold the deck load Of lumber, and then
went to lnauga where he sold some flour and
bread The vessel was then taken to an unin-
habited island, where she met small
schooner. The meeting had probably been
arranged at Inauga The latter vessel took
on board l20 barrels of flour and departed,
Mate Walker going with her Walker re-
turned with her III five days, having been
able to sell only twelve barrels of -four. He
gave the small schooner twenty barrels of
flour for her services, and she left. The
steward ran away in her, jumping on board
over the Julia Bakers stern The latter
came directly to this port, where the re-
mainder of her cargo of -four was offered
for sale at IS a barrel Walker was held in

The New York World prints the follow
ing concise history of the guano business
Blaine had his fingers in while secretary
of state: Certain American citizens, of
whom Peter Hevner was the head and
front purchased, or pretended to pur~
chase for few dollars from the pretended
owners in Peru certain absurd and pre-
posterous claims against that govern
ment, amounting to some thousands of
millions of dollars for the value of nearly
all the guano ever sold by that country,
as well as the guano now in sight or here
after to be taken out. The claims-by the
right of discovery-were two in number,
the Lsndreau and the Cochet claim. Both
were barefaced frauds OF the most dis
reputable and dirty kind. Neither Ian,
drea nor Cochet was an American citi-
zen. Neither Hevner nor the Peruvian
company could show valid transfer from
Landreau or Cochet. This govern
ment would have had no business what
ever, had they been honest claims, instead
of the idiotic claims they were, to medde
with them. All of Mr. Blaine's South
American policy resolved around Hevner's
guano heaps; Minister Hurlbut was in
structed to push Landreau's claim, and
almost the last, if not the least act of Mr.
Blaine as secretary of state was to write
to Mr.. Prescott, Dec 16, 1881: "A
treaty of peace which might cede territory
to Chill should not be made in disregard
of any rights which Mr.. Landreau may be
found, after an impartial judicial investi
CATION to possess Mr.. Blaine was not
admitted into the Peruvian company upon
the ground floor so far as the testimony
disclosed; but if he had gone in through
the basement or subcellar he could moi
have advocated more zealously and faith
fully what he must have known to be {
fraud"

FORT KEoGH, NJ. T., Aug 6-Between the
Mussel Shell and Judith rivers are the most
