It appears that President Cleveland
tu .responsible for the street car riots In
>e* Vork, "Gatb," who has been giving
the Administration some lusty rap. over
the toners, says that the late disturb
ances would never have occurred had
Cleveland when he was Governor of the
State not vetoed the conductor, and
driven' bill.
"It seems," he wye, "that under Clave
W. administration at Albany the
monopolists over the public Intercourses
e( Sew York got every thing they wanted,
lithe LegUlature would pase a bill to re
liefs conductor. and drivers from work
ing sixteen to eighteen hours out o
twenty-four at scant wagee, some reform
lawyer or mugwump connection, was sent
to Albany to flatter Cleveland, and thus
the live-cent fare bill on the Klevated
Koad's railroads wa. vetoed, and the con
dnetors' and drivers' bill shared the eame
fate. When these issues were brought
sp in the Presidential election,
the temporizing multitude began to hunt
ior argumeuis to justify the Governor. It
was shown that lie was the proteotorof
vetted rights, snd that he wa. a gbod deal
ol. uagi.trato lor not yielding to what
was denominated clamor, as If the re
quests ol men to bo allowed to live by
working from dawn to night constituted
lomethlng unjust and clamorous. Mr.
Cleveland, since he has been In Wash

there that lie would have the eight-hour
law enlorced In the Dl.triot of Columbia.
?Why should It be proper to favor a law of

ul Vlllarlag,
Wamiiinuto.v, March 11.?The discharge
>f a Treasury employe yesterday for steal
ng silver dollars while emptying coins
'rom one bag Into another has caused
tome excitement in the department.
There is much speculstlon ss to the
imount abstracted. The fright and indig
nation at the discovery were so great
imong the subordinate officials that the
man was almost driven from the building,
and he has not been Been since. There Ta
no nay to ascertain the logs but to count
and weigh the bags supposed to have been
haudled by the thief.
The first to ate the "nipping" was alady
employe, and she communicated her dis
covery to her chief. The money had all
Doen counted and was being put into new
and larger bags. It was supposed thst not
more thann dollar or two was taken from
an occasional bag, b#t the counting runs
back about a month. The lft? will have
to he.made up by Treasurer Jordan, who
regrets very much now that the man was
allowed to go freo, but thinks there could
not have been much taken with so many
trained smployoa about. It is probable,
he says, that the man was detected the
tlrst day ho bogan hi* peculations. In
answer to the question whether the guilty
man was a Democrat or Republican, Treas
urer Jordan rejdled that he thought he
must be a Republican, because a Demo
crat would bave had sense enough to steal
a whole bag lull of dollars if to went into
that business.

Adhere* to HU Statement.
Ouai Muuion, Kah., March 11.?A re
porter hu succeeded iu obtaining an in
terview with Willie Sells, the boy who
?tanill accused ol murdering his parents,
brother and sister. When Been the pris
oner was calm and smiling, and did not
act at all like a nowly made orphan. He
protested his mnocencemoat emphatically.
He is put ID years of age, live feet six
inches in height, and weighs about 115
pounds. His complexion is lair, eyes
hazel and his hair light; his nose Is
straight, and his large, llrin mouth and
good forehead complete a rather intelli
gent looking face. His wrists are unu
sually large and his hanJt big and muscu
lar. He seemed determined nut to com
mit himself in his conversation. After
saying that he went to bed about 11
o'clock, failing asleep almost immediately,
he was asked what woke him up. He re
plied:
"1 don't know. When I first awoke
there was a man standing in the partition
door with his face to the south room and
back to me. 1 didn't speak, but Jumped
up and commenced to dreta. The lamp
was lit and on the stand in the other
rOBm. Waty was in bed with me, lying
next to the wall. My pants was hanging
on the back of the tied, uud 1 sat up in
bsd and put them on. While doing so
the man turned aud ran out of the east
door of the north room. Neither of us
spoke. Then I went tbroughthe parti*iuu
door Into the south room, where father,
mother and Ina slept, and put on my
socks aud boots. While doing this 1 look
ed up at tho clock and saw it was ^::S0. I
saw father was not iu bed, but did not
notice whether the rest were or not. He
lay on the lloor, but I did not Bpoak to any
of them. 1 noticed blood on his face. There
was no blood on my boots or socks. Theu
1 went ont through the east door of the
north room. It took me just half a minute
to dress fully, 1 did not look at Waty, nor
did 1 speak or call to any one. I did not
notice blood anywhere else but on father.
When I went out, 1 saw a man standing
at the southeast corner of the house, but
didn't speak to lilm. lie ran around the
houso and I after him. He picked up a
rock and threw at me, but did not hit me.
I ran him down the road about half n
mile, when he came to a man on a horse,
holdiug another animal, ile jumped on
the extra horse, aud both men rode oil' to
the south. 1 psss?l three houses with
people in them while chasing the men,
but didn't call out once. He was a low,
heavy'Set white man."
" W hat did you do after the man hid
escaped you?
"1 wont to Mr. Wendell's house and
roused him, 1 lold him that there had
been a man at our housa who had hurt
father and he came aud went back with
me. The light was still burning and he
went to the door and said to me: 'Willie,
your folks are ull murdered.' Aud I did
not say anything. The neighbors com
menced coming in and I went over to
1'rice's and went to bed and slept till
morning."
"How did that blood got on your shirt
and drawers7"
"I don't know how It got on my drawers,
but it may have got on my shirt in the bed,
if tho man killed Waty while 1 was in
them."
All tbe members of tho family bolonged
to the Methodist Church, and all were
highly respected. Mr. delis was a school
teacher, and had just finished a winter
term at Springbranch school house the
Thursday before, his murder. No motive
cau be found foe the fearful deod.

Chair laid before the Senate the resolu
tious reported bom the J udidury Com
mittee as to the right of the Senate to pa
pers on file in the departnwnts, tuid Mr.
Wilson addressed the Senate iu support
of the resolutions reported by the ma
jority of the comiulttee,
Mr. Wilson said lor the first time in the
progress of this Government Its executive
power is now being used so a means 01
assault on the character and reputation of
its citizens. He stated the fact, and would
not uuw stop to determine whether it woe
the result of purpose, Inexperience, want
uf thoughtful action, or other cause what
soever. It wits au uuexpurled fact, how
ever, and doubtless it would have been
guarded against if the framera of thb
Constitution had believed such a re
sult poaeible in| in atainisiratioh of the ex
ecutive power under the provisions of that
instrument as prepared by them. Who
could have anticipated that from the
political protoplasmic presence which
floated on the bosom of the Democratic
platform of 18S4, aud whose indelluitencss
was expressed in the words, "Wo .favor
honest civil service re/orm," could have
Bvolved a result so harmful to the clinra
ler aud reputation of a oitissn as the prac
tice of the present nationul administra
tion. Kvery stage reached by the peculiar
movements of this strange political evolu
tion gave promise of a better result than
we now have attained or the citizjn ex
perienced.
EVOLUTION IlltUUN,
The first stage was molded by the ex
pression by Mr, Cleveland in accepting
the nomination tendered |blni by the
National Democratic Convention. Mr.
Wilson read an extract from Mr. Cleve
land's letter of scceptence. llere, lie
commenced and In his words the protop
lasmic presence which flowed In the plat
form seemed to take on some degree of
defiuitejshape. The evolutionary process
continued its moveiiisuta but its next
stage was not reached until Mr. Cleveland,
the candidate of his party for the great
olllce of 1'rcsldent of the United
Sutes had become President-elect.
When the latter ' charactert had.
become assured him, to by every
thing except the counting of tbe elec
toral vote and the announcement of the
result thereof, availing himself of the
glad Christmas time he took occasion to
announce in his letter to Mr. Curtis 'In
language forcible and expressive that the
political evolutiou was going steadily and
resolutely on towards these higher con
ditions and purer prospects which show
the prosence of reform in the method of
executive action.
7!|K SECOND STAUK.
Here be read at length frqrn a letter to
Mr. Curtis, l'bcse expressions, he con
tinued, marked the second.stage reached
by the political evolution which took its
start in the protoplasmic future of the
Democratic platform of 188-1. No one
could doubt the marked character of the
advance which it indicated. Truly a
beautiful creation must be the final
result. This was the expressed
belief of those who desired such
a termination of the movement, and
It Intensified the fires of thoso who did
not. It moved on and the political eyolur
tion kept pace with it. The 11 h of March,
1885, was leached, and Mr. Cleveland be
came 1'resident of the' United States lu
fact and iu law. On that, to him, great
occasion, he gavo further utterances and
told the assembled people of the country
that the third stage of the political evolu
tion bad been reached.
HE8UI.T OK TIIK ET0I.UT10N.
All that he h?d therefore said had been
but the utterance of Mr, Cleveland, now
had come the time for Mr. Cleveland,
President of the United States, to speak,
ami he did speak. Mr. Wilson reau the
portion of Mr. Cleveland's inaugural ad
dress relating to Civil Sorvlce reform.
This, ho continued, marked the olllcial
end highest stage of the political evolution
whose subtle forces h jd wropglit wondor
ously well iu elevating Mr. Cleveland to
the presidency of tho United Mates. But
ho had no purpose of abandoning tbe
others In that political school to which he
claimed to have committed his fortuues as
apandldate and President. He wasnot con
tent with the onpoupeuient of the 4th of
March, that tlie official and highest
stsge of tbe political evolution had oeen
reached, for lie renewed the declaration
in bla flrot annual messijgo to Congress,
and look care to give It great elaboration.
He seemed to have most earnestly de
cided to impress the country with the
belief that the indefinite protoplasmic in
which bis party placed him at Chicago
bad evolyed a substantial aud forcolul
principle which would nurify politics and
bless tho country In general. He* be
read the President's message forwarding
ana commenting on the report of the
Civil Service Pommissipn.
IRR|iCONC|LABI.K 4CTI0?a.
The people, Mr. Wllaon contlnliod, hud
given Mr. Cleveland generous credit for
slpperlty. They had listened to his pro
fessions of reform and studied them.
They had appreciated the dlllkultles sur
rounding Ills assumption ol the executive
power, but they could not recount lila
action In suspending competent and
faithful public olilcers with Ills repeated
sMgrancB that such things would not be
done.' He said mpn should not be dis
charged lor partisan reasons, out only for
cause. The people had believed ho had
(lie courage of his conviction. This re
sulted lii an universal belief Hint charges
other than political should bo lodged
against a public olllcer before his suspen
sion could he assured. It )iad logically
followed whenever an utylGer was ausixmd
ed the people belleyed that some grave
charge had been made against blm. In
deed oyer* eusppnded ofljcer was, by the
Presidents own declaration, made to
stand before the country as unworthy of
trust and confldeupe. If this were not a
necessary conclusion, what must be the
Intimation placed by the people on the
work o( a {"resident (ind |t it be a correct
conclusion, what must be the President's
Idea ol ftlr dealing with a cillisn 1 lie had
suspended.tHDptibllcofllcersand marshal!*
Si) them before the country as persons un
worthy of trustor oonfldenps. Many qf
those persons bad requested to bo in
formed of the nature ol the charges made
against then], Thie hid been denied, In
this way the Kiecutlve was being used as
a means ol assault against the character
and reputation of citliens ol the Republic.
No ailch outrage had been inflicted an
our citlsens from the first year of our
natural existence until the Incoming of
the present administration, its pomp and
circumstance of reform to the contrary
notwithstanding.

The Aaeociated Proes containa a para

Aun, Washington correspondence ol yea
terday morning. Itrecltea the fact that a
certain Senator-elect waa the leading
figure, In fact about the only figure, in a
teS"Alw?.oh iu,a pn&lio drinking
pface in this city, and that membera o
bi? State Legislature who helped elect
him were ao indignant and disgusted that
they declared they would go hack home
and eet matters In motion to have hia
credentials as a United States Senator re
voked. The Senator-elect alluded in the
Baltimore Ami is John W. Daniel, ol Vir
Kinia, and the scene of the orgy was John
j Ohumberlin s. The circumstances have
j been well known among the correspond
(onto, but no one mentioned them.
Correspondents are very lenient with
public men iu thia respect and know a
great deal more about them than they
ever tell. So Mr. Daniel's performances
were treated with the same stience he had
been accustomed to on many previoua oc
currences of the samo sort.
Thia alienee would have continued
doubtless, but 1or the fact of the prolongei
and outrageous abuso of Senator Kiddle
berger by the press and publio men ol
}irginia on account of his drinking habits,
the btate papers declared that Hiddleber
Her was disgracing the State by his habita,
and demanded his realgnation or expul
sion. The I'oit here devoted a lull column
ft i m?? k'nJ ol assaulta upon Mr.
Kiddleberger, treating of him as a common
drunkard and disgrace to Virginia. This
was just about the time that Senator-elect
Oauiul waa under the care ol doctors and

St. Louis, Much U.?Master Workman
Shepley, of Chicago, a prominent Knight
ol Labor of that city, arrived here last
night, and will probably remain until the
atrlke is settled. He will ait in conference
withthe local Executive Committee, and
expresses the opinion that the Missouri
Paciflc cannot resume business without
the aid of the Knights of Labor. It is un
derstood that (Vice-President Uoxle has
been in communication with Jay Gould
during the most of the weak, while the
latter was in lfavana, and tho cable be
tween Cuba and this country has been
kept pretty busy carrying dispatches be
tween these high ollicials. [Judge Portia,
General Attorney of the Missouri Paciliu,
lays that the formal discharge of tho
striking men wipes out all existing agree
ments between the company and the
Knights of Libor, and that if any of the
latter are re-employed, it will bu under
entirely new conditions or no conditions
or obligations at all.
The peaceful attitude of the Knights of ,
Labor, which has been so marked a char
icteristio of their conduct duriug the pros- 1
lat strike, has as yet suffered no change; I
ndeed, there boa been no necessity (or (
violence, for neither side has otlered iu .
;he slightest degree any opposition to the
movements of the other. The general ex- .
aectation that the Missouri Pacltlc Kail way !
Company would attempt to move their
blockaded freight from their yards iu this '
:ity last night, was not fulfilled, and a j
visit to the yards this morning luiied to ,
liacover any such movements, everything
jeing quiet in that vicinity. The company
las been quietly hiring new men ever i
ilnce Tuesday night, and it Is anticipated ,
hat they will UU the places of the striking
Knights, and the movement of freight
irill uegin. Several parties of these new
nen were being conducted to the yards
ast night to receive their instructions,
Then they were met by a delegation ol '
itrikors, who persuaded them to desist 1
rom their purposes. v
The Knights are reticent when question- i
Ml about the probable result of an attempt t
}y the railway company to move their t
reight trains to-day, but the general opin- 1
onls that they will resolutely resist any i
muh attempt. The company, however, j
ire said to have tlrmly decided upon such i
I course and If any resistance Is offered I
jy the strikers, they will cull for muuicl- 1
pal, and, Is necessary, State protection. 1

morning and started in the direction of

Kith an engine under a full head of steam,

way company seemed to take the
strikers unawares, for no opposition
was attempted at any point until the
train reached D?alo, Mo., where a delega
tion of Knights hoarded the train, side
tracked it and afterwards "killed" the
engine. No apposition was offered by
the crew ta the action of the Knights and
no confliot occurred. Everything hore is

St. Louis, March 11.?Martin Irons,
Chairman of the Executive Board of Dis

has. prepared a statement of grievances
and demands of striking employes of the
Qoq|d Southwest system, and has sent it
to Colonel Hoxle, First Vice-President
and General Manager of the Misouri Foci
lie railroad. Mr. Irons denounces the
statements made in Colonel Hoxie's circu
lar, Issued a few d?ys ago, as wholly false,
and considers it too insignificant to reply
to in detail, and expresses ills
surprise 'that railroad magnates who
have eo long insulted the people by ap
plying to tbem the phrase ''be damped"
will (all upon their knoea and cater to
them for sympathy. The ?tatement pro
ceeds by setting forth that it is the belief
of every Knight of Labor upon the Gould
system that the roads It embraces have in
augurated a systematic method of break
ing up their organisation, to check which
action the strike was commenced. In
order to bring about a speedy Adjustment
of the difficulties now existing between
these rosds and their former employes,
Mr. Irons wake the proposition that a

agement of the Qould Southwest Com
panies and the Distrist Executive Board

N?w York, March 11.?General Abner
Donbleday, who aimed the llrst gun in
Fort Sumter that was fired against the
Confederacy, was talking to-day at the
Albemarle Hotel on the Indian question,
Said he:
"Although I have had something to do
with I he Indians, I don't wish to criticise
the campaign against the Apaches in
Arizona. 1 am too lar from the field of
actlbn, Ourlorces have to contend against
great odds on account of the difficulties of
the country. A soldier is somewhat
handicapped by the baggage he haa to
carry. The Apaches have no luggage to
Impede their progress. One fact that ia
not taken into consideration by those
dealing with the Indians Is that they are
ambitious to have scalps to advance their
prestige with the tribe.
The young bnck knows that lie can
never become a chief without scalps. The
suppoeltion is that he feels wronged,
cheated out of Ills birthright, and, la a lit
of desperation, goes on the war path. This
Is far from the truth. The poor Indian Is
only trying to make a record to advance
his political standing. I believe the In
dians should be placed on small farms and
made cltltens. In 1871 1 was stationed
nsar Fort Hill, a reservation presided over
