CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATION
A Chance to Get Into the Gov
ernment Service.

Post ONCE. IT, smith. Ark. Feb. p, 'g2
A United States civil service ex-
animation will be held at Ft.
Smith Ark, at the United States
court house and post Office on
March %, 1892, beginning at a.
m, for the departmental service,
Washington, d., c., and for the
railway mail service. No person
can be examined who has not pre-.
viously filed an application on a
blank which may be obtained by
writing to the United States civil
service commission, Washington,
d. c. The applications, carefully
and correctly executed, should be
forwarded to the commission in
ample time TO secure an admission
card. A delay in filing the appli-
cation may result in a failure to
obtain an admission card in time
to be examined. A pamphlet of
instructions will accompany every
application blank. In the south
ern states and in the remote west
ern states the supply Of applica-
tions for the railway mail service
is not equal to the demand.

PRECAUTIONS NECESSARY.

Whatever may be the result of
the agreement Of the commission
ers in the Strip matter, whether II
is ratified or not, il should teach a
lesson that might ultimately be Of
great benefit to the people OF the
Cherokee nation. 1t should con-
vince all reasonable persons that
too much power reposes in our
national council, The power to
sell the homes of more than TWEEN
ty-fve thousand people should not
be in the hands of few men. TO
avoid the repetition of similar
transaction sometime here east Of
ninety-six in the home tract, some
steps should be taken to limit the
legislative powers of council so as
not to leave the birth.right of the
people in their hands. The great
mass of citizens of the Cherokee
nation have never had anything to
say when a sale of land was made.
Only small remnant of once
great landed interest remains, and
feeling of uneasiness pervades the
people and they are getting anx-
ious as to the best means of pro-
tecting what is left We are in
great need of protection from the
pressure from without. The thous-
ands of homeless boomers on every
side will be constant menace to
us in our present situation. The
cold, conscienceless tide of what
the world is pleased to call civili-
zation has reached our borders
and threatened to break over and
devour our last remaining patri-
mony. And this danger that
threatens us from the outside is
not all, neither is it the worst
There is a war to the death going
on between the bonafde citizens
on the one hand and the intruders
