SATURDAY, - August Is, 1891


The late George Jones, of the
New York Times, who died Wed.
nesday, was not only the greatest
American editor, but probably the
o1ly man in the world who ever re-
fused bride Of five millions of
dollars, says the Hagerstown Mall.
There are, we believe, many men
who could not be bought for this or
any other sum to commit crime,
but Mr.. Jones would have received
this great sum had he simply re-
Trained from doing something he
considered his duty to do.
In 1871 the Times began an as
sault upon the Tweed ring which
then had possession of the govern
ment of the city of New York.
Through Mr.. James 0'Brien, MIR.
Jones got possession of transcripts
of some of the book accounts in the
office of the City Controller which
showed the enormous and corrupt
payments. Tweed found out that
the publication was to be made and
sent an emissary to buy the Times
at any price. The attempt failing,
the nexi move was the offer tc MIR.
Jones of five million of dollars not
to publish the accounts.
Mr.. Jones answer to the propo
sal was, 81 don't think the devil
will ever make higher bid for me
than that
Connolly, the emissary, began to
plead, and drew graphic picture
of what one could do with $1,000
600. He concluded by saying:
"Why, with that sum you can go
to Europe and live like Prince"
"Yes," said Mr.. Jones, "but
should know that | was a rascal. /
cannot consider your offer or any
offer not to publish the facts in my
possession"
The result of the Times cam
paign against Tweed, aided as il
was ny Gov. Tillen, was the ruin
of Tweed and the rescue Of the pee
pie from his domination.
Ne less bold. though less heroic
was the refusal of the Times to sup
port Blaine for the Presidency. Up
to that time it had been Repubh-
can paper, and its sudden rupture
with its party could not but be at
tended with immense damage to
the business interests. That dam
age. happily, was but temporary
aud the Times now enjoys the pros
peritY it deserves.
Such man as George Jones is
not only an honor to his profession,
but an ornament to the human
race.

What Secretary Foster Says About the
Rumored Removal OF New York Customs
Officers.
Secretary Fosters attention was called this
morning to the newspaper rumor that the re-
moval Of Collector Erhardt and Appraiser
Cooper of New York had been de-
cided upon as the result Of the investigation
into the management Of the custom house
and appraisers Office, which is now in progress.
Secretary Foster said the report was news to
him; that no such determination had been
arrived at, for the sufficient reason that he
had given the subject no consideration.
1t would be fully a month before the
investigation would close and 1t would then be
time to take action, if any were necessary,
whom all the results of the Investigation were
before him. II the results as found by the
commission warranted summary action he
hoped to be able to take it in the
interest Of improved business methods. He
added that there was class Of importers who
thought that they were treated as suspicious
personages and he hoped to relieve them Of
their annoyance. Assistant Secretaries Nettle-
ton and Spaulding know nothing of the rumored
removals and Solicitor Hepburn. the chairman
OF the commission investigating the two Offices,
was much amused that the commission should
be so considerably relieved from the task Of
making findings by the newspapers. Mr.. Hep
