Our Franklin Correspondent Draws Fire

Mr.. Editor
In relation to the little piece read in
the last issue Of your paper relating to the
Copperopolis House and It's ups and downs
and the cause for the same being for the
sale of cheap poison, would say to those
interest in the welfare, as they term it, Of
this mansion, that If the house had been
treated with as much respect by some Of
their own townsmen as has been shown to
1t from other towns and places 1T would
fail to day to stand as a nuisance IT, in
their estimation, 1t stands as a nuisance,
claim the cause is wholly due to class Of
men who fail to know how to treat house
with respect.
As regards converting this mansion, So
called. into a keeley cure for the cure Of
cheap poison there is not man in the
State of Maine who will do more than |
Will to advance the good cause of this
work. | am ready any day to place a cor
mr. stone to build up its foundation, yet |
would say that every house In Maine does
not want to be converted into a Keeley
cure.
Let the work 90 on right. and let those
people handle the business who are qualified
to do their duty. In my opinion, as with
many others. in many respects 1t has be.
come money making scheme, and If 1t is
not rightly conducted will become nul
sance of itself.
Now, a~ far a. the interest Of those la
dies i concerned for the welfare Of their
tpwn,peuple, II they will agree to keep a
certain cla>, away, who may or may not be
their friends from this house for the next
twelve mDnth>. | will come under obliga-
tinns to make deposit In the hands Of
honest men, sl2o0 against $500 of their
money, and at the close of the year, II they
are successful, 1t would give me great
pleasure 10 come to the front with nv
stamps, and II they should fail 10 their
struggles which, as | believe, would be
worse than 4 struggle for dear life. shall

leader it is. Every New Yorker. Young

what resident of the great city ha, too

WASHINGTON, d. c., Mar. p. 1898


MIR. Cleveland's rules tor the govern.
ment of Presidential appointments, an.
nounced from time to time since his las,
inauguration, are entirely praiseworthy
but, unfortunately for him and his fame,
there Is one little drawback to his occu-

esteem to which such an excellent set OF
rules would seem to entitle him; he doesn't
live up to them, except In cases where the
applicant hasn't "pull" enough to impress
him The rule against the appointment
of ex-office holders has been the oftepest
reiterated. but it is now claimed that
it was only devised for the purpose
OF letting down easy lot Of men
who held Office between So and SO, but
who have since lost their grip and be-
come ineligible in the eyes of Mr.. Cleve-
land, as a number of "ex's" have already
been appointed to some of the most de-
sirable positions
when Mr.. Cleveland was asked by a
Congressman to appoint one Of the Presi-
dents forty eleventh cousins to an ipsjg-
nihcant office he became indignant and
read the Congressman scorching lecture
on the evils OF nepotlsm, receiving there
