During the last session of Congress the
President sent to the Senate {, ,450 nomina-

nointed NOT bv Mr. Hedden as this

pointed, not by Mr.. Hcdden, as this
reckless writer says. but by the COM
mission on the nomination of the Col
lector, Surveyor and Naval Officer. and
the present board was appointed by the
Eaton commission. The chairmen and
secretaries are not s.made" by the
democratic officials" but by the COM
mission on the nomination of the MEM
bers of the board itself, and the present
commission has refused to confirm
these where they are private secre-
taries and chief deputies" establishing
a rule for the first time that such
officers shall not serve in that capacity.
After utterly misrepresenting this
matter of organizing examining boards
the Tribune says: 1.-The new Civil
Service Commission not only winked
at but openly abetted this method of
evading the law. 1t changed the reg
GUST the old officers of the examining
board.'' This though Collector He'd
den has nothing directly to do with
officers and the commission has speci-
ficaliy put stop to the practice. al
ways possible before, of having private
secretaries anu Speclai ueputieS sefVe
as the officers of the board. As to
the eligible list and appointing officers,
the abuse came in under the Republic
an commission, and the present COM
mission is the first to propose making
the rules forbid the appointing officers
to have access to the list of eligibles.
In short, this commission is fighting
against abuses which it inherited and
which sprang up under the law before
the Democrats came into Office. The
only purpose of reckless misrepresenta-
tions of this kind is to discredit the re-
form itself and help to break it down.
1t is a mean kind of warfare. but too
easily exposed to be effective.-M Y.

THE ORANGEMEN.
History and Strength of the Order in the
North of Ireland and Elsewhere.

History and Strength of the Order in tho
North of Ireland and Elsewhere.
The society of the Orangemen was
founded in 1895. The first lodge was
formed in Armagh, and the name was
taken in honor of King William Ill,
Prince of Orange. The object of the
society was avowedly to uphold Protest
ant institutions and interests and thus
to counteract the Roman Catholic secret
association known as ''the defenders"
The two opposed societies were soon in
volved in fierce hostility, as nearly all
of the peasants belonged to one or the
other, and wherever they met in any
numbers fighting and riots were sure to
occur. The order waned somewhat in
the early days of the century, but in
1927, when the Duke of Cumberland be-
came Grand Master, it revived. In 1928
and 1929 number of fights occurred
which were suppressed by the militia
with difficulty. In 1885 the British par
lament ordered an investigation of the
association. 1t was found that thirty
four regiments of the army had Orange
lodges; that there were 145, 900 Orange
men in England and 125, ,000in Ireland.
As the order was declared subversive of
the peace of communities. Orange clubs
in both England and Ireland were
broken up in conformity with resolu-
ton of the House of Commons. Or
angeism was revived. however, in 1S45,
and still exists largely in the British
islands, though its professions there
are forbidden by law. 1t was intro
duced into British America in 1929, and
as its meetings are not illegal there its
political influence is very great and its
membership enormous. A number of
lodges also exist in the United States
Chicago Inter- Ocean.

piled:
This rumor must have arisen
from the fact that the papers arc
daily in jeopardy by not having a
suitable place to keep them. So
far as ! know, none of the papers
are missing, except certain papers
that have been certified to by the Dis
trict Courts in cases of dispute sew
cral years ago. Situated as ali the
papers and records are. in an open
room, accessible in various ways. it
is an easy matter for parties inter
cstcd to abstract papers from the
office in spite of all possible care.
AN appropriation Of $500 was
made by the last Legislature
to build a suitable fire proof vaul,
for the proper preservation of the
papers and records of this office, and
the Governor, Controller and Treas
urer were appointed by the Lesis-
lature as a Board to see hat the
vault was built, bu. the Governor
being president of the Board, has
persistently refused to call the
Board together to allow the vault
to be built. His reason is that
the records have not burnt UP
yet nor been stolen. aud that econ
omy must be observed in State
matters, the peoples money must
not be squandercd on something
that is unnecessary.
Why the plats alone in this Office
would cost the State $4,000 to re-
place them and it would be impos
sible to replace the application and
other papers connected with the
original title to land. l presume
it is economy to save 81 ,50Oand run
the risk of losing $4,000, besides
putting the State to an endless
