WHY COON WAS PASSED BY.
Not Appointed Secretary of the Treasury
Because He Did His Duty.

Not Appointed Secretary of the Treasury
Because He Did His Duty.
The present uncertain and not al
together creditable state in the Treasury
Department, says a Washington special,
came about through the interference of
the bosses. When Acting Secretary
Coon's appointment was probable they
made dead set against him because he
had already refused to ''turn the inspec-
tors loose" In other words, had refused
t. override law and decency and turn the
department into political camp. Coon
is a Republican of the undOubted sort.
But he is a rigid disciplinarian, has clear
ideas Ofright and propriety: consequently
he refused the applications of Elkins and
others, which were contrary to law, and
the granting OF which would have been
hurtful to the service. After that Coon
stood no chance Of filling Folger's vacant
place.
Among Secretary Folger's last acts was
the writing Of letter commenting
warmly the Acting Secretary for
the ability with which he was per-
forming the duties OF the post Of
Secretary. Gen. Arthur's commentator
was not less earnest. and the approval OF
the press and public was marked in an
especial manner. But after he refused to
turn the inspectors loose he stood no
chance of becoming FOlger's successor.
Hence the long and hardly reputable
delay in filing the office permanently, for
Gen. Gresham protests his unwillingness
to stay. If he does stay he will hardly be
more than the nominal Secretary.
Whether it was by Gresham's act that the
inspectors were "turned loose" to engage
in the political contest or they broke loose
is not known, but true it is they are loose
in great numbers. Good-natured, easy
going, timid Mr.. Arthur's administration
is cutting no creditable figure at present.

1t was during Hendricks first race for
the Senate, and member Of the Legisla-
ture was in the same car. he was very
bitter against Hendricks for some reason
or other, and took no pains to conceal it.
He was going up to the capitol with his
wife, who had little baby in her arms.
The baby was crying violently, and the
mother seemed unable to soothe it. "Let
me have the little fellow said Hendricks,
walking up and reaching out his arms.
The mother handed him the child reluct-
antIv, and he started to dandle it up and
down, and did it so successfully that the
baby stopped crying, and soon fell asleep.
He carried the child all the way to Indl-
annapolis, and when he left the car the
member was his warm supporter. SO a
crying baby helped to make United
States Senator.

The Blaine papers are circulating an alb
surd story that the Louisiana sugar planters
propose 10 support and vote for the Blame
ticket. Considering that these sugar planters
demand protection against Cuban sugar, ana
that part OF Blaine's policy is the annexa-
ton Of Cuba, which would admit Cuban SUI
gar entirely free Of duty, the Louisiana sugar
planters who support Blaine are likely 70 be
very leyr in number. No doubt the Cuban
planters would vote for Blaine if they could

A BARONETs son ARRESTED
A Western Editor Suspected of Being
the Author of Many Fires.

Western Editor Suspected of Being
the Author of Many Fires.
Mr.. Charles D'Acres, a younger son of
the late Sir Sidney D'Acres, bart, Ad-
miral in the british navy, after seeing
service in Chinese waters in English men,
Of-war, says st. Paul special of Oct. 10,
came to America few years ago and be-
came engaged in the newspaper business
in Lemars, Ia, where he became the edl-
tor of the World, a iourishing paper. He
was irregular in his habits, but talented,
and some three years ago attempted to
commit suicide in house OF ill-fame in
Sioux City. A year and half ago, Gate
way, a contiguous town, suffered a
loss Of 100000 from numerous
fires of undoubted incendiary orr
gin. At the time the young English
journalist was suspected of being the in
cendiary, and the citizens threatened to
lynch him. Gradually the matter ceased
to agitate the inhabitants, and the infre-
suspicion against D'Acres. About four
weeks ago an incendiaIy fire destroyed
one wing of the Revere House. a man
named Murphy was subsequently arrested
upon suspicion. 1t is now stated that he
has made a confession, duplicating
D'Acres and several others as being con-
cerned in last years fires. A PinkertOn
detective, who, in the guise of a gambler,
has haunted the town for weeks, is said
TO have evidence Of the guilt of the young
Englishman and a man named Latham.
Both men have been arrested.

According to the Rdil,cay AGe, only
1888 miles of railroad were built during
the first nine months of 1884, against A.
pa miles for the corresponding period IN
1888. and S,015 miles in 1882. The largest
increase in mileage was in Minnesota
239 miles; the next largest in Mississippi
-224 miles. Iowa comes next with 2l3
miles. The largest per centage Of in
crease was in the Southern States. The
great decrease in the number Of miles Of
railroad built is owing doubtless more
10 the fact that some OF the most impOF-
tant lines in the country were completed
year before last and last year, and there
was not any immediate and urgent de-
mand for extraordinary effort in railway
building this year. 1t is not probable
that the panic had any great influence in
checking such work, except, perhaps, on
a few short and unimpOrtant lines.

Rlaine.s Vigorous Foreign Policy.

Blaine's Vigorous Foreign Policy.
Blaine has been so busy with the tariff
lately that Re h. sn't said anything about
the necessity Of a vigorous foreign policy.
Ii viii be remembered that soon after his
nomination he was paraded before the
country as the man who would see tEat
American citizens were protected IN every
part of the world If elected, and that he
would compel greater respect for the
American flag from foreign nations tnan
had ever before been shown u. lew
Irish-American voters were led TO an
nounce their determination 10 support
Blaine because Of the assertion that
Blaine could be depended on to adopt an
aggressive policy towards England.
Ofcourse. those who are well acquainted
witt Blaine know that he has no sympa-
thv with Ireland or the Irish people.
When he was Secretary Of State he had
an opportunity TO institute a vigorous
foreign policy If he had wanted to. Irish
American citizens were locked up in
British prisons as suspects. They eagerly
besought Minister Lowell and Secretary
Blaine TO secure their release.
One Of the suspects was Daniel Nc
Sweeney, who arrived in New York on
sunday. Mr.. McSweeney went to Ire
land for his health by the advice Of his
physician. He bought a little property
there and was living quietly when the
land league troubles began. He made
few speeches Of a conservative character,
advising moderation and pointing out
that the proper way to get reforms was
through Parliament. He was arrested
and imprisoned. He was kept in
prison nineteen months. He appealed
to Minister Lowell for aid, but did not get
it. His wife appealed to Secretary
Blaine. and her letters were unnOticed.
Mr.. McSweeney's appeals were treated
with cool indifference at the State De-
partment. Nothing whatever was done
10 right the wrong which Mr.. McSweeney
was suffering. Finally an attempt was
made to bride Mr.. McSweeney to accept his
freedom and leave the country. He de-
| clined to accept any conditions. Then be
was given an unconditional release, show
| ing that there was nothing against him.
and that he had been WrOngfully i'm
l prisOned.
This was an instance Of Blaine's yigOr-
Gus foreign policy. Is it the kind Of a
| foreign policy that Irish-American citi-

in his pocket. Those who will take the

| Mr.. McSweeney's case will have whatever
faith they may have in Blaine's purpose

policy, destroyed.
