MesSrS. Editors
In your issue of May 7, appears an
item which we'll disposed neighbors think
needs an explanation. In the item re-
ferred to, the old lady of whom your cor
respondent writes, had purchased some
wall paper, and as part of one roll was
in damaged condition and unfit for use,
Gas several persons who saw it can testi-
fy,) and falling short of sufficient for the
room, she went to Mr.. Doty's where she
had purchased the original, and asked
him if he had part OF roll. He re-
Piled that he had not, but upon ascer-
tanning that the amount she lacked was
only one yard, he readily cut it off, and
upon her offering to pay him. he abso-
lutely refused to take anything. More
over, Mr.. Doty denies having accused the
old lady of lying, and says if she has
any meddlesome, revengeful neighbors
| it is to them to whom she must look, as
the instigators of the story. There i:
ample proof of her innocence in the fact;
alleged against her, as well as we'll as ii
the other story of the boots, to which
your reporter referred. We think he
would do we'll to remember these words
'sWhy beholdest thou the mote that is il
thy brothers eye, but considerest not thu
beam that is in thine own eyer" AS W.
have many quiet, peaceable citizens il
this place, we think it but justice tina
they should be classed as such. rather
than gossiping, meddlesome neighbors.

We clip the following notice of the
death of Frank Blanchard from a
Syracuse paper. Young Blanchard
was we'll and favorably known here:
The beautiful Sunday last was a
day of gloom and sadness to this
place, for it brought the mournful in
telligence that Frank Blanchard, only
son of Capt. A. J. Blanchard, and
one of the best known and most pop
ular young men of Sycamore, had sud-
denly died of consumption at Brady
City, Tex. No one was prepared for
such an event, not even his parents
For few months he had had some
difficulty with his throat and lungs,
but he was so broad shouldered, sc
ruddy and so strong and manly in his
appearance that people felt that he
must throw off the disease that threat
ened him. He went to Texas in Jan
uary, but soon began to grow worse
Thinking to spare those at home, his
letters, though not encouraging, were
not such as to cause immediate alarm
Sunday morning, while the family
while preparing for church, the tele
gram came from stranger, announc-
ing that on Friday evening he hac
| passed away. The announcement
went round the church like an electric
shock; the people were bathed will
tears, and the choir, of which he hae
been a member, could hardly sins
amid their sobs. Frank would have
been "a years old the 10th of mex
June. He was born in Vermont, bu
most of his life had been spent in Syc
amore. Here he has been scholar
teacher, post-office assistant ant
book-keeper in the EllwoOd Man
ufactory, and everywhere was efficien
and respected. A telegram from hl
old friend, Fred Brown, says that hi
remains will be Immediately forward

The snobhishness of West Pointers,
Washington Correspondence Cleveland Leader.


The Swain court-martial is about as good an
illustration as could be obtained of the snobbery
that prevails among the West Point graduates
in the army, more particularly those who are
stationed in Washington The West Pointer
claims to hold notch in the official and social
scale that is just trfe higher than that held
by their associates who have been appointed
from civil life, although the latter may have
been much more thoroughly educated and are
as fully if not better equipped for the du-
ties Of their calling than their West Point
friends The bravo fellows who served in the
late war so calamity, and were promoted to po-
sitions in the regular army as recognition of
their conduct are treated better. The all
sufficient fact that they did not graduate from
the Military Academy goes against them, and
they are ignored as much as possible. 1t is
true that all West Pointers do not act this way
but many of them do, and they have better
spirit than anywhere else. This explains why it
Is that among army officers there
is so much feeling against General
Swain In the first place, he is not graduate
of West Point, and secondly he was the intimate
friend of General Garfield, and when the latter
was President was supposed to hold a place III
the confidence Of the great statesman. The
jealousy of the West Point clique was aroused
against him, and ever since they have pursued
him. The Bateman charges were magnfed
from mere difference of opinion between two
men over a business transaction into mon
strous breach OF army rules and discipline, and
the persecution began. Unfortunately the
powers that be" in the War De-
partment were only too anxious to
serve this West Point lot. They too,
had learned to dislike Swain because of
his supposed influence with President Garfield.
The mountain they tried to make out of mole
hill did not 'pan out" notwithstanding the fact
that they thought they had made up court
which would be certain to convict the defendant,
and. failing, they have instituted new charges
against him. in the hope that they will be able to
crush him in some way. This evidently deliber-
ate attempt t. prosecute the Judge Advocate
general has served to win for HIM the sympathy
Of all disinterested people in Washington and
they inwardly rejoice at the apparent failure of
the snobbish prosecutors
