Whether the condition of Ireland
in the winter Of 18S0-S1 was such as
to excuse the sudden conversion of a
policy of Cancellation and justice into
a policy of coercion and despotism
was a question which SHOULD surely
have interested a public man like Mr.,
Mr.. Blaine living in country which
numbers millions of lrishmen among
its citizens.

BLAINE's oRGAN-THE TRIBUNE.

Possibly Mr.. Blaine may have taken
a different view of the Coercion bill
and of the necessity" for it. He may
have agreed about it with an able
American journal, always friendly to
him, the New York Tribune. An article
taken from which paper find cted
by the British Minister at Washing
ton in an Official despatch as, "on the
whole, satisfactory" in tone. He may
have believed with the Tribune that
the British government vas "strug-
Cling hand over hand with formid
able conspiracy which has been
directly promoted by the Irish citizens
of the United States"

But whatever Mr.. Blaine may have
thought Of Mr.. Gladstone's coercion
policy, as an American observer of
British affairs it was unquestionably
his solemn duty as secretary of state
of the United States, taking office on
the 5th of March, 1881, to lose no time
in acquainting himself minutely with
the terms and the force of coercion
act, made law on the I'd of March,
1881, which must instantly and inevi-
tably affect numbers of American cit
izens sojourning in Ireland, and ex-
posed to suffer in their liberties and
their rights from the operation of it.

THE DEATH OF ]. M. CROOKS.

The death Of John NJ. Crooks, Of
Grangeville, Idaho county, has left q
vacancy in the business circles of Camas
Prairie, that cannot easily be filled. He
has successfully managed varied and
extensive business in that county for
many years. Without much elementary
education, his mind grasped readily the
various relations of business, with vigor
Of intellect and with that intuitive sagac-
ity seldom met with in men of his lin
tied education. His judgement upon
questions Of importance seldom failed him
aud in his early advent to Idaho county
in 1862, he was physically strong and
vigorous and subjected himself to many
hardships, that would have Frustrated
most men, and even to the day Of his
death his mind seemed ever active and
vigorous and his administrative ability
has been distinctly visible in the number
aud character of the enterprises in which
he has engaged with success. He set
tied with his family on Three Mile creek
in 1862 and the extent of his improve.
mcnts he has made since then in his farms
stand now as a monument of his skill,
energy and good judgement. Besides
this he has been an active dealer in cat
tie, horses and hogs, and managed bust
ness in Florence and Warrens for many
years during the flush mining times of
early days, and not a miner in those
camps but must remember the fairness
Of his dealing, and the liberalty which he
showed toward every means to be used
in the development Of those camps. His
house on the Prairie has always been one
of great and generous hospitality, and no
man can say that he was ever turned
away hungry or empty handed, whether
he was poor or rich, and his wife was
always cheerful and ready to second all
his enterprises and generous hospitality
He was the protector of the town Of
Gangeville, and was liberal in his contri.
buttons towards the building up Of and
the growth Of the town, and providing for
its intellectual and moral welfare. Ii
later life he had met with several falls
from horse and the last fall he had was
from a load Of hay, from the shock OF
which he never entirely recovered. His
system had become dropsicaI and it i.
supposed that this disease reached the
region Of the heart and caused suf1ocation
at the time of his death. The evening
before his death, his mind seemed clear
and he dictated business with much visor
although for several weeks past he has
expressed doubts Of his recovery. He
was formerly county commissioner of
Nez Perez county, and an efficient officer.
He was a member of the Board of Idaho
county at the time of his death. His
council and wisdom in county matters has
long been the watchword Of many citi
zens and it may be truly said that in his
death Idaho county has lost valuable
citizen, and his family kind husband
and father, aud bis neighbors one whose
place it will be hard to ill by another ~
good and kind.

FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.
The Name Trouble to be Investigated
by Prof. Solomon.

WASHINGTON, April 10.
Representative Reed of Maine had long
and satisfactory interview with the commits
sioner at agriculture, Thursday morning, in
relation to the recent outbreak of the foot
and mouth disease in Maine. The commits
sioner, after the examination of papers and
the facts of the case, determined to send
Prof. Solomon to investigate the matter un-
der the direction CT the Governor and others
of the State authorities to the end that all
proper precautions may be taken to ensure
the public against the spread of this disease,
and to disseminate correct information in re-
gard to it. 1t is to be hoped, Mr.. Reed says,
that in the result there will be such change
made in the quarantine ground as will render
the importation of cattle entirely safe. The
commissioner will telegraph to the governor
so he may Immediately avail himself of the
assistance of the department.

THE AQUERO RAID.
Great Excitement at Havana - Spain
Asked for Troops.

KEY WEST. April 10.
Advices from Havana state that General
Aquero, in landing, met no resistance. 1t Is
reported that numerous factions joined
Aquero on the march to the interior swelling
the party to many hundred followers. Sew
eral encounters with the troops took place,
the result of which was that the troops were
obliged to retreat. Great excitement exists
in the island, especially in Havana Owing
to the large force of troops that was concen-
trated for several days at the spot on the
coast Aouero never would have landed, it is
believed the government used the incident of
Aouero's unexpected arrival for the display
of force, with the object of intimidating the
Cubans of Havana at the next election. Gov
ernment teleeraphed Spain requesting that
additional troops be sent.
