Sherlock Holmes was pursuing some

was tall, spare man, Of nervous and

was in such state Of uncomfortable

very unusual had occurred.

The West, with all its growth and
progress, has not yet wreGted the
manufacturing supremacy from the
little towns Of the East. In spite Of
handicaps In the way OF lack Of coal,
iron and other raw material, New En-
gland still leads the country in many
specialties. Nearly all the whips used
in the United States are made in
Westfeld, Mass, and most Of the
horn and shell goods In Leomlnster
Shirley manufactures suspenders In
larger quantity than any other town
in America. Attleboro leads In the
production Of cheap Jewelry, and New
Britain. Conn, in cutlery. How have
these comparatively small places at
tanned this position, and how do they
hold 1t in the face Of competition and
disadvantages? One Of the most
noted mechanical engineers Of France
has lately made a tour Of the United
States. He answers the question. It
Is skill, he Says-mechanical skill.

1t Ia evident from the recent letter
OF the President to a member Of the
House Of Representa- tives that he will
not allow anyone to be In doubt as to
the ottcer On whom the Constitution
has laid the duty Of distributing the
patronage" The member had insisted
ON having the privilege Of naming the
postmaster" in one of the towns In
his district, and said that according to
long-established custom 1t was his
right. Many other men have held O.
similar view, which has its origin In
The custom Of Presidents to consult
the Senators, and sometimes the men,
bers Of the House, In regard to ap-
pointmentS In their States or districts.
1t is impossible for The President to
have hrst-hand knowledge concerning
the fitness Of the candidates for the
thousands Of Offices which he has to
NIL. He must obtain advice from those
who do know. He frequently acts on
that advice, 30 frequently, in fact, that
the advisers assume that they, and not
ne, make the selections. The Senate.
1t Is true, has the constitutional right
OF veto on appointments by the Pres
ident; but no individual Senator has
that right. The House has no legal
right whatever to interfere with the
exercise Of presidential discretion In
making appointments. When the Sen,
ators from a State are opposed to any
nomination to an ONCE in their State
the Senate usually Bustains them and
rejects the nomination. In some cases
President, who had reason to ex-
pect that the nomination would be 3D.
posed, has waited until Congress has
adjourned before making the appoint
ment. At the next session the Sena
tors who favored the appointment have
succeeded In preventing the question
OF confirming the nomination coming
to vote; and so the man has CON
tinued to hold Office for year or two,
or until the deadlock was broken. I'm
der the law the President appoints and
the Senate confirms or rejects. All
else Is custom, which changes in de-
tails with different Presidents and DIFF
ferent Congressman.

This Is not true. A registered let.
