THE APPOINTMENT OF IRISH

The APPEAL notes that some news
papers and several private indl-
yiduals are not at all pleased that
the first Office of any note given to
Nevada is . good position IN the
Agricultural Department aud 1t went
to General Irisli. Some who affect
great surprise, should have known II
they didn't, that the appointment
wa sa foregone conclusion months ago.
Col. Irish, Gen. Ir shes brother Is the
confidential friend of Cleveland,
in all probability clos r to him than
anybody on the Coast and J. Ster-
ling Morton, Commissioner of Agrl-
culture has been life long friend of
Gen. Irish of Reno.
A word from either of those men
would give Irish about anything ne
wanted. The joke of it IS that while
several parties were working to pre-
vent Irish being made Surveyor
General in Reno, an $1,000 year
Office only, he gets something better,
81, 800 year billet in Washington.
1t is folly to suppose that Demo
cratic Administration and Demo
cratic Cabinet officers would fail to
look after their friends.

COFFIN'S NEW DEPARTURE.

The statement by the tribune that
Coffin is not candidate for District
Judge, because he does not care to
give up his lucrative law practice for
lucrative bench practice, is taken
with some grains of allowance by the
people familiar with Collins methods.
Coffin has been an Office seeker
from hundred miles up the gulch
ever since he lived in Nevada.
He was first elected District Attor-
ney of Orrnsby. just prior to the
election a man named Burke was
accused of being an incendiary. He
was tried and acquitted as there was
not one particle of evidence against
him. Coffin insisted that his &C
quittal was the fault of the District
Attorney who happend to be his op-
ponent in the election. One night
twelve masked men hung Burke at
the grave yard gate and conn was
elected District Attorney.
The APPEAL has the names of the
men who helped lynch Burke.
Coffin next was elected me mber of
the Assembly in the last Sharon
campaign and SC well did the bosses
have the voters in hand that Collins
record pasted upon the dead walls,
did not affect the result.
He was then appointed Q. S. Dis
trict Attorney and fell heir to the
800, 900 timber trespass suit insti-
tuted by the U. S. Government
against the V. & T. R. r. Co.
Which case soon afterwards folded
its tent and glided silently from the
calander.
There was a vacancy in the Treas
uryship of Ormsby occasioned by the
death of James Fraser and Coffin at
once applied for the place. His
''pull" was strong and he got it.
He wanted to be Regent of the
University and got that also.
He never accomplished much
there except to railroad relative OF
his into the office of head of the in
stitution.
Then ne wanted to be US. Judge,
but protest was sent from Reno
with all Of the valid reasons why hi
should not be given the office, fully
set forth and sworn to. This petl
ton reached the President and end
ed Collins chances.
The ring then proposed to ruT
him for State Senator and requested
the APPEAL to get in line, which the
APPEAL promptly declined to do
promising, instesd, to print his rec
ord. It was not deemed advisable
to run him that year.
He was also a candidate fer Su.
preme Judge at the Virginia Git!
Convention, but after feeling OF tn
situation concluded not to press tn
button as no one would do the rest
Bartine might have had the Su
preme Court nomination, but CothI
persuaded him not to take it, but to
stay in Congress. Coffin was lOokint
oat for himself as usual.
Now with all his record as an OF
fee seeker, does it seem reasona bl
to suppose that he is not after tn
District Judgeship this time an
hopes to supplant Rising.
We are, therefore, forced TO tn
conclusion that Mr.. Coffin was play
ing the editor of the Tribune for
Chinaman when he told him that i
would not take the place if Offered
If he has quit Office seeking he hi
certainly taken a new departure.

JEEREB THE MINORITY.

When MT. Burrows Suggested That
 Wool be Taken or the Free List
 and Made DutiabIe the Democratic
 Members of the Committee on Ways
 and Means Laughed at HiB.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-This afternoon the committee on ways and means had fin ished consideration of the customs sched- ule of the tariff bill. The various sched- ules were taken up in turn, the republi- cans offering amendments and the demo- orats rejecting them by strict party vote.
 When the woolen schedule was reached Mir. Burrows suggested that ss wool might be taken off the free list and made dutisble again it would be well to submit the pres ent law for the wool schedule of the Will son bill. The suggestion was greeted with laughter on the part of the democrats, and when offered in the form of 8 motion was rejected. The schedule of sundries and the free list were next considered, and these, too, were quickly disposed of.
 The committee this afternoon raised the duty on malt in the bill to 30 per cent. It was also decided by the committee that a supplementary paragraph shall be added lo Ino Aumoot soncuuio Pkosiuins tnae nothing in the bill shall repeal sections 15 and 1e of the existing law. Thess sections provide that "the produce of the forests of Maine upon the St. John and St. Croix rivers and their tributaries owned by American citisens and sawed in the prov inoe of New Brunswick by American citi- zens, the same being unmsnufactured in whole or In part, shall be admitted into the ports of the United States free of duty"
 The committee devoted time to the con sideration of the administrative features of the bill. There Is little left to be finished tomorrow. The bill could easily bs re ported to the house tomorrow afternoon The majority report, however, is not com pleted, and MT. Wilson said tonight il might be several days yet before 1t would be in shape to report to the house.

wolves the use of antrained agents, tends to discourage proper investigation, and in other ways is likely to increSso poverty rather than to relieve destitution.
 Further, they would urge the charitable public to recognize the universal experience Of charitable organizations, namely that indiscriminate gifts invariably tend to pau peri-s the recipients. The Organized Charities association stands ready to in- vestigate all cases of apparent destitution, and to bring the cases of all who really need help to the attention of that ohsri- table organization, church or charitable in dividusl which they may judge best fitted to help the man in a way to avoid humilis- ton and to promote self respect.

ROYALISTS ARE ELATED.

Late Advices from Honolulu Show That the Ex.Queen Has Been Fully Informed Since Last March of the Presidents Policy MT. BIount,s Peculiar Relations Explained. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12.-Midnight- By the steamer Oceanic correspondent at Honolulu writes ss follows under date of December 5:
 On the 24th ut. the Warrimoo brought from Victoria our earliest knowledge of Gresham's letter and Minister WilIis's
 by force. The Monowai, from San
 Franoitco on the same day brought full details. The royalists were greatly elated. Americans were alec much inspired oy the vigorous denunciations of
 Ar. Cleveland's course by the American press and by the delay of Minister Willis
 stating or executing his instructions.
 One thing became clear-that the ex- queen and her supporters had been since early in March supplied with accurate in formation from Washington of the presi- dents policy and intention to restore her. MT. T. A. Davis has also evidently been in ths presidents confidence from the beginning. All the confident boast ings of the royalists, so long derided by the annexation party, prove to have been based upon reliable secret information. MT. Blount's peculiar relations of intimacy with the royalists are also fully explained.
 Immediately after the news per Warri- moo was received President Dole and At torney General Smith waited upon Minister Willis. They asked to know his instructions. He declined to communicate them, but re- newed to them previous assurance that he would absolutely take no action until the return of the Alameda on December 21.

INVESTIGATIONS MADE

By the Organized Charities Associa.
 tion-The Accounts Of Actual Dis
 tress Among the Poor.
 In view of repeated reports of an alarm ing increase of destitution and distress at the present time, the undersigned societies have taken pains to investigate the actual state of the case in the city of New Haven. They find that in spite of the recent busi- ness depression and consequent lack of employment, the accounts of actual dis tress have been greatly exaggerated. The agents of these societies do not find that the need of food and consequent suffering from hunger is appreciatively greater than usual at this season. They do find that the need of fuel is considerably greater than usual, and they are seeking to meet this need and to prevent suffering from cold.
 To meet the increased need the under signed societies unite in an appeal to the public for liberal contributions; and pro- vided they are adequately supported they believe that existing agencies are fully competent to deal with present conditions ! The establishment of new agencies, sucl l as soup houses, food depots, public indi vidual distribution of meat, bread, etc, in
