Political Nntea.

The latest prediction concerning the
treasury portfolio is that the new secretary
will be a gentleman not heretofore men
toned in connection with the office, a man
of experience and not from New York state.
The Democrats of Colorado, in state con,
yention yesterday, nominated Alva Adams
of Pueblo, for governor.
Gov. Kellogg, in his telegram accepting
the nomination for congress in the Third
Louisiana district, says that as the issue in
volved in the present canvass is clearly thai
of protection against non-protection, the re-.
suit ought not to be doubtful.
A delegation Of Democrats from Decatur,
ILL.,, waited on Mr.. Hendricks yesterday and
urged him to meeting in that place some
time in October. The governor will make 8

FIRE ON THE HILL.
C. n, Dittman's House ON Holly Ave-
nue. Badly Damaged.


An alarm was run in on box All at 1925
this morning by Officer Stotz, caused by the
discovery of fire in the wing of a fine two
story wooden building owned and occupied
by C. VI. Dittman, real estate agent, 433
Holly avenue. Before sending in the alarm
the officer walked Mrs. Dlttman and a serv-
ant girl and got them out of the
dwelling, Mr. Dittman being absent
from home having driven into
the country yesterday morning. Two
steamers were promptly massed at the els
tern at the corner of Western and Holly ave-
nues, throwing water through two long lines
of hose, and chemical engine No. did good
duty. The fire which took in the kitchen
from some unknown cause, ran up into the
wing into the upper stories of the main
building as well as burning of portion Of
the roof Of the wing and penetrated also
into several rooms in the lower part of the
main structure. The flames were extin-
guished after having done about
81, 500 damage to the house and probably
81, 600 To the furniture, paintings, books,
ETC., considerable Of which was moved out of
the house. 1t was learned that the house
and furniture we're insured, but to what
amount, Mr.. Dittman being absent, could
not be ascertained.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-The term Of G..
c. Coon, as acting secretary under special
designation by the president, expired at the
close of business to-day. All business which
by law must be transacted by the secretary,
will, therefore, have to be held in allegiance
until an appointment is made to fill the va
cancy. The Star says the latest rumor il
regard to the treasury vacancy is that the
postmaster general will probably be APP
pointed for few days until the president
can communicate with gentleman who he
wishes to accept the place. The acting Sec
rotary of the treasury to-day appointed
Cheney R. Prouty deputy collector and in
spector of customs at Corpus Christi, Texas,
vice G. G. Brewster, removed.

PITTsBURe, Sept. 24.-The game to-day
between the Baltimore and Pittsburg teams
broke up in row in the eighth inning, and
the umpire gave the game to Baltimore 9 to
0. Owing to. the non-appearance of Quinn,
who was 10 umpire, Manager Barnie was
selected, but the crowd, not taking kindly to
his decisions, he retired in the third inning,
and Traffiey, of the Baltimores, took his
place. In the eighth inning a decision in
favor of Baltimore enraged the spectators,
whereupon they jumped over the ratings and
but for the interference of police would have
mobbed Traffiey. The game was then called

REPUBL1o4N DIsREG4RD OF Law.

REPUBLICAN, DISREGARD OF Law.
The late Secretary Folger was bank di-
rector, and VIM. Lawrence the first comptrol-
Ter of the Treasury is the President of a Ma
tional Bank. This has not been generally
known, but it has been within the knowledge
of the President, and of the gentlemen them
selves. The incidents show how reckless
Republicans are Of law. Section 243 of the
Revised Statues declares that no person ap-
pointed to the Office of Secretary of the Treas
ury or First Comptroller shall be concerned
in the purchase or disposal of any public
securities of any State or of the United
States. Under any honest construction of this
law the late Secretary of the Treasury was incl
ligible, and Comptroller Lawrence is holding
that office in defiance of law. A few years
ago when Levi P. Morton was proposed for
Secretary of the Treasury the point was made
against him that he was banker and incl
ligible. Mr.. Morton was so anxious to secure
the place that he offered to dispose of his
banking interests, but it was held that this
would produce scandal, and he was denied
the appointment. Now Mr.. Morton, stiH a
New York banker, is on his way from Pafis
as the gossips aver, to become Secretary of
the Treasury. When A. T. Stewart was ap-
pointed Secretary of the Treasury by Grant
it was found he was Ineligible under law
1892, which forbade any citizen interested
in commerce from holding the office. Mr..
Stewart offered to surrender his vast bust
ness for the sake of the Office, but he was put
aside for fear of the scandal that would fol-
low. In these days law seems to be of no
account, and the man whose business rela-
tons forbid his being an Office holder is sure
to be installed in place. This way of doing
things has gone on long enough. Turn the
Rascals out.

BLAINE will make the attempt to force the

thin dodge to retire the Muligan letters.

effort to make demi-god of the Molock OF
Protection and a spook of Free Trade will be
fat failure. Blaine and his gang seem to
have lost their leads.

THE appearance of the last batch of Null
ligan letters has renewed the talk of Mr..
Blaines withdrawal. The Boston Herald, an
independent paper, thinks ''he owes it to his
party and personal friends who placed him
in nomination, to do 500 The Boston
Globe thinks that ''the convention could be
called together in two weeks, and the coun-
try thus quickly relieved of the odium of q
dishonest aspirant to its highest Office. !"
Many prominent journals take this view.
We hope and trust that Mr.. Blaine will not
allow himself to be kicked out. We have
Blaine beaten already, and might not have
so clear sailing should second man be
nominated. Stand, Mr.. Blaine, stand.

So 1t seems that the tsttle which broke up
Johnson's Millersburg school in the session of
ls50-5l, was the result OF marriage so secret
and Vnsanctioned By church or state that it had
to be done over again. The fate Of that school
should warn teachers that marrying and honey
incoming in secret in the midst Of crowd Of
romping school girls may be s"eetly romantic,
but is liable to produce unpleasant complications.
It's pity. however, that this is not the only case
in which Mr.. Blaine's tendency TO do irregular
and questionable things in sly and secret way
has drawn heavily on his skill and resources in
the way Of explanatory statements.

editor of the Rspu5!ieGR viii certainly have no
hesitation in stating his mistake in giving cur
