cIeveIand's New Rules

Washington, D. c., March lO.-Presiden
Cleveland announced today that there would
be exceptions 10 the three rules which be ia,
adopted for appointments, namely: To lei
Republican office holders throughout the
country serve out their terms; not to reap
point o4ieeholders Of his former admins
tratioa, and not to appoint editors, as Nj
Harrison did. There are exceptions to all
rules, the President squoted as saying by
the numerous Senators and Representatives
who have been asking him to-day about
these rules, ''and there viii be to mine but
they will be few in number As the Presi-
dents rules have spoiled so many Of the
plans which the Senators and Representa-
tiyes had made in addition to disappointing
the hopes Of many Of their constituents,
they have been endeaToring ever since they
heard them to ind loopholes in them through
which to get at the particular appointments
which they desire.
Almost every Senator and Representative We
who saw air. Cleveland to-day asked him
about his rules. He told them al frankly
that he would be governed by these rules.
exceptin rare cases. He said that he knew
Ct few men. who had filed offices under
his former administration with exceptional
success who might be reappoinied. he also
said, in answer 10 a question. thst where s
Democratic ofieeholder had beea removed
By Mr. Harrison before the expiration Of
bis term there might be ground fo- removing
the Republican incumbent before the expira-
ton fhis term. Another question asked
Of Mr. Cleveland by one Of his C0ngres-
sional visitors was what he would do in re-
gard to the offices placed under the Civil
Service rules by Mr.. Harrison after be had
been defeated for reelection, as for example
free-deliyery post offices, which in many
cases were filed by Republican politicians
who were most active in the campaign. To
his Mr.. Cleveland is reported as saying:
4 viii take that matter under consideration
when these Offices are reached

DrEISG the last political campaign the
Democrats rang the charges" on the ex.
travagsnce of the 5lst, which contained
small Republican msjority and hoxls
against the Billion dollar Congress, as
they denominated it, burthened the air
As sususl they lied The appropriations
Of the first session of the Fifty-frst Con-
gress amounted TO S46S 39S, $40, and those
Ofthe second session 10 S525OIS, ,672, a
total ofS9Ss, ,4l7.lS3.
One of the first moves of the immense
Democratic msjOrity returned to the last,
or Fifty second Congress, was to pass res
olutions pledging themselves to econom-
ical appropriations. Tnen they went 10
work appropriating the public funds as
follows: Atthe iirst session S5O7 coo, ,IS6
was the sum voted away. and S5I9, ,22I,-
SCI was appropriated during the session
just closed, making total Of $1,000. .s22,-
049, thus beating its Republican pnede-
cessors by SIS. .4O4 ,0G6. The last Con-
gress, therefore, with its one hundred
and forty-eight Democratic majority,
goes on record as the real Billion dollar
Congress.

Fifty Years Ago

Uncle Sam was not so hard worked as to-
day. The mail carriers we're few. the post
age upon a single letter was 25 cents. When
one was received, the family all gathered
around the father to hear the news. On .
memorable occasion the letter read as fol-
sows: The demHohn Of Prince Regent is
empty, please send me another. Our friend
Daniel Webster was with us when it came,
and considers it the finest he has ever tasted.
We are happy to know the 25 cent postage
is gone. Still hsppier to know the whiskey
