THE facts in the McSweeney case, now used
to prove that Mr.. Blaine, as Secretary of State,
neglected the interests of an Irish American
citizen, are as follows: AS soon as the co
ercion act, under which McSweeney was ar
rested, was passed, Mr.. Blaine, without wait
ing to obtain an official copy, instructed Min
lister Lowell, at London, to guard zealously
the interests of American citizens, and to see
that any arrested under that act should be
speedily released or accorded an early trial.
The date of this instruction was May "a,
1881 On the I'd of June following after he
had received a copy Of the act, Mr. Blaine
wrote to Mr.. Lowell renewing his instructions
in emphatic terms. The letter had hardly
reached Mr.. Lowell when President Garfield
was shot by Guiteau This calamity falling
upon the President naturally interfered with
the release Of the suspects, and, with Minister
Lowelps lack of energy, perhaps, the cases
dragged through several months McSwee-
ney's case was never officially presented to Mr..
Blaine but, having received letters
from insolvency himself Mr. Blaine
forwarded them to Mr.. Lowell, instructing
him to act in the matter in the spirit of the
letters Of May "a and June 2. The British
government claimed that McSweeney should
be treated as British subject, holding that,
while he had once lived in the United States,
he was citizen Of Ireland at the time of h is
arrest. The release Of The prisoner, however,
was secured through Mr.. Blaine's efforts in be-
half of other American citizens imprisoned at
the time. It now appears that McSweeney
was undoubtedly regular citizen of Ireland at
the time of his arrest, and has formally proved
himself such since by accepting the Office of
poor-law guardian at Donegal, and is an active
candidate for parliamentary honors, in dis
charging the duties of either of which Office
he must take an oath Of allegiance to the
Queen. So much for the charge that Mr..
Blaine has not always had the rights of every
American citizen at heart. The charge has
never deceived intelligent Irishmen, and has
done no harm to Mr.. Blaine, whose American
ism is too pronounced and too well known to
be toppled over by an idle allegation that had
no foundation in fact

The price of quinine is steadily falling,
fact that will probably be used BY free-t traders
to prove that the removal of the tariff has
brought it about. Specifically, this explana-
ton will do; but fact Of greater influence on
the price of quinine remains. With the
partial exhaustion of the cinchona forests
of Peru, the experiment of cultivating the
bark was undertaken in Ceylon and Java,
and it proved so successful that the supply Of
bark is now largely in excess of the de-
mand. The price, therefore, would un-
doubtedly have declined had not the
tariff been removed. The removal of
the duty had the effect claimed by protection
lists Little or no quinine is now made in the
United States the great chemical firm of
Powers s. Weightman having their supply
manufactured at Mannheim, Germany, where
wages are lower than here. The same effect
would result from the removal of import
duties from any article Of manufacture that
could be produced more cheaply abroad than
here. So that whenever the laboring classes
Of this country want other countries to do
our work they may vote for men and measures
looking toward free trade.

faults along the Alleghenies, some Of them
showing plainly that one side has been car
ried down vertically over four miles, and
until portions Of the upper Devonian strate
lie walled against the lowest strata of the

Slight shocks of earthquake have not been
unusual in the United States. Whether they
are from local centers or reflected from a dis
lance is not always easy to determine. The
only CONFUSION assuming any aspect Of terror

Caracas earthquake, which occurred on the
26th Of March, 1872 and lasted, with numer-
Gus daily shocks until the 9th Of April
The New Madrid earthquake was initiated

in which the catalpa trees still stand with
their tops just above the water. Farms were
twisted out Of shape hills were changed into
lakes, bayous made into high ground So
great was che destruction Of property and so
irretrievably ruined were many of the farms
that Congress passed law granting each pro- 4

earthquake Although but few lives were

done much to retard the development Of that
region.
