Damaged Government Craft.

/
AlCairs special to the Saint Louis
Globe Democrat, dated October 2,
saws: A few days ago the Vidette
brought three government iron hulled
steam launches here for repairs, which
have been laid up Of Chester tho past
several months, and which were taken
out on the coal ccmpany's docks near
the coal dump. The hulls were rusty
and contained large number Of
strange looking Jumps or warts, about
the size of an egg, which were rough
and irregularly distributed. In scrAp-
ing off these protuberances a kind of
white substance was found beneath
the thick coating of rust, which, when
entirely removed, showed the iron had
been entirely eaten through by the al
kali, the knife easily penetrating the
hull. Further investigation developed
the same condition Of affairs beneath
every lump leaving the hull thorough
lv honeycombed with small holes and
rendering it thoroughly worthless
The three hulls were all pulled out at
the same time. and contained the
curious Jumps OF rust and aDkall refer
ed to. The bulls of the other two have
not been touched thus far, although
they are without doubt in the same
condition. The officer in charge o.
the launches states that II is the effect
of the alkati in the Missouri river watel
in which the boats have been plying
and of course with which the Missis
/ sipi river is largely impregnated AL
work has been stopped, and the gov
ernment authorities at st. Louis mott
fed. Two ofthe hulls have not beel
scraped, and are available fer tn
present, but the third ono will sink in

all iron hulls which have been laid VI
. at Chester or at Bushberg may develo

sippi river pilot, is just now on visit
to Nashville. Tenn, visiting Capt. Geo.
S. Kinney and Capt Dan. Kinney, old
friends Of the wheel, whom he has not
seen since 1862. Capt. Miller, who had
not been in Nashville for many years,
has been surprised at the growth OF
that city The Nashville American says
During the war Capt. Miller became
famous for his daredevil reconnoiter-
ings on picket duty on the steamboat
Grampus, between Columbus and
Cairo, which, in her time, was the fast
est boat on the Mississippi and its tri-
butaries, and tantalized the Federal
forces at Cairo to evaporation by run

powerful field-glasses discovering
everything that was going on in the
camps of the enemy. Many o time

Grampus always proved futile. She

The srsue was lively, for it hadbeen
rumorsd n the afternoon that syndi-
cate Of Philadelphia Republicans were
going q swoop down on the Hoffman
House Democratic betters and make
them al put up or shut up and hunt
their holes. The result was that the |
Hoffman lobby was paced with men
all anxious to see the fun. The Dem
ocrsts had loads of money, and put it
up bravely as fast as they could find
takers. The Philadelphia crowd got
away with about $4,000, at the rate Of
about one thousand a minute. The
Dwyer Brothers, well-known horse
men, took in $4,000 of this amount.
The $4,000 was evenup. The Repub-
licans showing no disposition to bet
any more money even, the Democrats
began to offer odds of len to eight that
Cleveland would carry New York and
ten to five that Hill would be elected
Governor A hundred or more beau
tiful yellow-bscked gold certificates for
$1,000 each was held high over the
heads of the crowd, with cries of "One
thousand to eight hundred on Cleye-
land. Take it or go home"
After the excitement | met Phil

current Comment.

The Philadelphia Ledger, edited by
George W. Childs, is Republican pa
per, and is supporting Harrison. but it
has the fairness and manliness TO say
aCleveland's administration has been
free from official and personal scandal; ;
has been honest and clean. There have
beeu no star route robberies, no War
Department corruption, no proiligate
waste by United States marshals, no
Treasury combinations or speculations,
no corrupt operations in or through the
land office. No American at home or
abroad, has had occasion TO drop his
ewes in shame because Of any such
things under Mr.. Cleveland's Admins
tration. On the contrary, there has
been resclute effort to promote hon.
est government, to increase efficiency
and to lessen expenses.
Harper's Weekly closes its view OF
the present aspect of the Presidential
canvas with this statement of the situ-
alton; "It is obvious that boasting on
either side as TO the general result in
the country is ridiculous, while the
betting, we believeis favorable to Mr.
Cleveland. This generation of voters
has not heard before the arguments
against an immoderate and unjust tar
i'll tax. Indeed, 1t has not clearly com
pretended that the tariff is tax; bu
il Is evidently inclined TO listen intel
ligently and sympathetically, and t.
see that those who are denounced a
seeking the ruin of the country b.
proposing to diminish the surplus b,
tightening taxation are doing onl
what the denouncers themselves advo
) Gated a few years ago. II sees tha
, the Republican Senate is proposing {
do what the Republican platform cor
> demns, aud it laughs at the effort I
r stigmatize Is a rebels policy, a cours
} which Grant and Garfield and Arthu
and the anti-slavery fathers of the RI
publican party approved, and whic
rests upon the fundamental America
9 principle Of equal rights. The longC
|. and more searching and detailed Il
Q discussion, the surer will be the appro'
q al ofthe original American view of Il
tariff, which is substantially that of Il
y Presidents message and letter.
