a Congressman Recommends the. APP
polntment OF Relative of tho Pres
ident and Learns Something.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 21.-
President Cleveland defined bis views
on nepotism to-day in manner so forcl-
BILE that be left no doubt in the mind OF
his nearer that he was irrevocably OPP
posed to the practice. The gentleman
to whom Mr.. Cleveland outlined his
views on the question is Western Con-
gresham, who came TO secure the ap-
pOintment of a constituent to office. He
told Mr.. Cleveland that the applicant
was a good Democrat, good fellow,
and furthermore a relative OF the Presi-
dent himself.
THAT settles It," Mr.. Cleveland is
reported as saying. His name cannot
be considered" and then the President
is said TO have read the congressman a
letter on the danger of appointing rela-
tives to office in which he placed him
self on record as against nepotism in all
its shades Of meaning and application.
Congressman Springer learned some
thing more aoout the nomination rules
for appointment this morning. de
spoke TO Mr.. Cleveland about the appli-
cation Of former Office holder for re-
appointment to the postmastership at
Petersburg, H., and after explaining the
facts in the case he received an answer
favorable to the applicant. The expla-
nation was this: The candidate III
question is a woman and a Democrat,
who was appointed postmistress at Pc
tersburg by President Arthur, just
prior TO Mr.. Cleveland's first term. She
was re-appointed by Mr.. Cleveland after
Gen. Harrison's election, but the Re-
publican Senate refused TO confirm the
nomination. President Cleveland this
morning, after hearing this statement
Of the case, gave Mr.. Springer TO under
stand that he would re-appoint the
lady. His reason for making an
exception Is that she failed to
serve the term to which she had been
appointed by Mr.. Cleveland after his
defeat In 1888 and is therefore quite as
much entitled to serve now as then.
Mr.. Cleveland has made several like
statements in connection with similar
cases to other congressman and his Ian
guage on these occasions aud this morn
ing indicates that former appointees
who were prevented from serving their
terms through lack of confirmation by
the Senate will be given preference in
applications for the Offices for which
they were selected under Mr.. Cleve-
lands first incumbency.

about wraps was so little that 1t

TIE FOURTH ASSISTANT

Postmaster General VIM Take Clarke OF
His once at Oncs-Work Waiting for
Him.
WASHINGTON, March 21.-Robert A.
Maxwell, whose nomination as Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General was yes
terday confirmed by the Senate, was at
the Post Office Department this morn
Ing and expressed his purpose to take
formal charge Of the Office tomorrow,
1t is learned that there are on file in the
department more than 5000 resiGna-
tions OF postmasters, many OF the fourth
class, and that these cases Will be con-
sidered and disposed of before any cases
OF removals are taken up.
Very few OF the cases where resigna-
tions have been received are ready for
action. This is due TO two causes:
First, the great accumulation Of petit
tions, etc, received at the department
within the last few weeks. The second
cause is that what is known as the list
of referees has not yet been made out.
As q rule these referees will
be men selected in Repub-
lican districts who are supposed
to know and represent the wishes of
the Democratic citizens Of the place as
Democratic members Of Congress are
supposed to do in their own districts.
While the recommendations of these
referees will not be final. they will
have great weight in making the ap-
pointments of pOstmasters. 1t is prob
able that very much Of Mr.. MaXwell's
time during the next few weeks will
be taken up by callers, so that it will
be some time before the work Of max
ing changes will have actually begun.

Making the Rule work Both Ways.

The maxim, "Say nothing but good OF
the dead" is likely to be extended in
England so as to include the living also.
A titled member of Parliament has been
forced to apologize for speaking slur-
rinQly of the Irish home rulers; the edi-
tor of the London Times has narrowly
escaped being summoned to the bar OF
the House for similar offense; Lon
don dramatic critic has been fined for
pronouncing play a failure, and an in
dignant author has recovered damages
from literary journal for scathing
review OF a literary novel. And all this
within the past few weeks. Saying any
thing but good of one is likely to prove
pretty dangerous business. - Boston

me INDIANA APPOINTMENT.

II the Indianapolis Sentinel and Nelcs
have made accurate statements and
criticisms concerning the appointment
of the District Attorney for Indiana,
then it is surely an unfortunate selec-
ton for the Democracy Of that State.
Why Mr.. CLEVELAND should turn down
JOIN w. KERN, a staunch sup
porter, and clean man, and
award the plum TO FRANK BURKE
who, as the dispatches state,
was opposed to him all along, AMI had
an unsayory legislative record to boot,
is iuexpica5le.
We can account for it only on the
ground that the President has been de-
ceived. II such be the case, can any
one blame him for going slow in making
appointments? Congressional delega-
lions in and upon whom the President is
compelled 10 rely for correct information
not only stultliY themselves but do in
calculab.e injury TO the party when,
from any cause or for any purpose, they
impose upon the President candidate
undeserving of his favor. Members
of Congress who do not tote fair to the
chief executive in these matters cannot
hope to have either his confidence or
fe,-orabla consideration of their candi-
dates.

every thing took did me no good. One doctor

Drunkards IN Maine.

Neal Dow estimates that there are
1000 habitual drunkards IN Maine, and
that TO cure them by the Kelley process
would cost $3.50, 900. He thinks this
"pretty expensive for four weeks doc
toripq." and opposes the bill now before
the Maine Legislature which provides
for the treatment OF habitual drunk
ards at State expense. But General
Dow's admission suggests anew the pro-
priety of trying high license in Maine.
He has probably underestimated the
number of habitual drunksrds in that
State, but 1900 is bad showing after
nearly forty years Of prohibition, in the
opinion of the Boston Advertiser.

jewelry stores pointed TO seventeen
minutes patti eight? And did you ever
ask why? It may not be new TO you,
and it may be universally known, but l
was very much impressed the other day
by the answer OF a jeweler. He said:
There's not town in America that
has not sign marked at the same time.
And may say there's not business
block In the town withoutit. Certainly
il there's a ieweler in the block with
the dummy sign instead Of the running
clock, it points to those figures. It's in
commemoration Of the hour and minute
that Lincoln was assassinated on April

The feeling among colored people in
respect TO the Democratic party is vast
~ different now from what it was when
Mr.. Cleveland first became President.
They know now that all of their rights
and privileges are as freely accorded
them By the Democrats as by the Re-
publicanS. In fact many of the more
intelligent OF them are beginning to see
that the Republican party has been aim
ing only to control their votes while the
Democratic party in the South is sin
cerely anxious to assist them in better
ing their moral and material condition.
