Fresh Evidence of His Underhanded
Work in His Campaign.

WYNN tD Ills NdHiPdiSH.
Mark Smiths newspapers, in a
desperate endeavor to find some
spot on Governor Murphy's record
to which their mud will stick. have
been stupid enough to think that
they could mislead voters and create
the impression that the Governor
is not the friend of laboring men,
by bowling that he vetoed the bill
introduced by Parr and passed by
the last legislature which purport-
ed to protect laboring men from be-
ing 'blacklisted."
The simple facts are that when
the bill reached the governor it con-
tanned no enacting clause and was
therefore without any force, and as
a matter of course he returned the
bill without his approval, and the
House upon seeing that the bill was
absolutely worthless as it stood,
unanimously sustained the veto.
Here is the official record from
the Office of the secretary of the
territory:

coast-that is ali. Here and there
are short French lines as. for IN

"But even this system, enormous as
il is, does not satisfy Great Britain.
A number of her cables land on for.
eign soil. That will not do In ad
dition to all this corth.grabbing com
mercial spiders web, there must be
an imperial web which will reach
around the globe hung from English
| land alone. That system is actually
in course Of construction. An Impor.
tant link OF ii is to reach from British
Columbia to Australia. Still another
link will reach from Gibraltar to the
islands OF Bathurst, st. Helena and

of Good Hope. Thence another line
will be run to the island of st. Maurice,
which will be great imperial tele-

already completed ed--from the Cape of
Good Hope to Bathurst Island. The
total cost of the entire imperial sys-
tenn will be about $25, 900, 900, and
the Government will bear all the bur-
den.
"It is an expensive job, say the
English. 1t will cost enough 10

done il will make each and every bat
tleship we have five times as effective
as now
Certain laws control English
cables which make them absolutely at
the control of the Government They
are all subsidized, as you know, and
in return for the subsidy John Bull
makes his own rules. Every employe,
for instance, must be a British sub
ject and the lines can never be under
the control of any foreign Government.
In addition to that, English Govern
ment dispatches have precedence over
all others at all times, even those of
other Governments no matter how ur-
gent the latter may be. In case of
war England can seize all the cable
lines and operate them entirely with
Government employees.
"In other words, John Bull has
built for himself an empire under the
sea where he rules with undisputed
sway. Whether Britannia rules over
the waves has yet to be determined;
that she rules under them is beyond
question. Other nations are getting
restless under the sway, and it is time
we were making a strike for relief
from it. Germany has already a plan
under way for n cable system to this
country. AS have said, France is
just now greatly agitated on the sub
ject. Surely, Uncle Sam ought to
get move on and put that wire down
to the Philippines by way of Hawaii
and Guam. New York Sun.
