a Sample of Reform.

The Reformershave done a lot of talk
ing about the REDUCTION Of salaries but
they have taked care to prevent this
reform affecting he presont administra-
tion. The sallrIreduction bill, cutting
down nearly alIthe salaries of officers
and others in thl employ of the State,
was passed wild retrenchment of
reform hurrah. The bill, as passed,
stated that it shoIld go into effect imme-
diately, and the Eontiding believed that
when the act be&ms law there would
be an immediate deduction in salaries all
along the line.
But the reformFs, who engineered this
scheme, had Teather eye open for
"Number One,'f and worked little
scheme, which hay be most politely
termed "sliok."
The simple &uth is that this act,
although passed TO take effect imme-
diately, will not b6ect the salaries Of any
one until the expiration of the present
fiscal year, tho bme when the present
administration gaes out Of power. Until
that time, it Is aa1ead letter as If it had
never been passH. The reason for this
Is, that on the Yay last night of the ses-
sion, when the appropriation bill was
about to be ratified, final section was
tackled on to it, Rhich has the effect OF
nullifying the sNary reduction bill for
| ten months. NhS men who would have
been affected by 7he reduction, got tkeir
leaders together, snd after deliberation
carried the matta through with the prac-
tical result stated above. An examina-
ton of the origpal act made yesterday
resulted in the5 finding of the section
referred to, whid4iseads ns follows:
Section 13. Tint in the event that
salaries or other pensations for servi-
ces now provided for by the law fol-
officers, clerks lSnd other persons for
which appropriation. is herein made,
shall be fixed bylaw at other rates than
those herein proWhed for, such rate shall
not affect such salaries or other compen-
sations for the .yest 1894, but the amour!
herein appropriated shall be paid to
them."
Now Governed Tillman approved the
salary reductionH bill on December %
and the next day approved the appropria-
ton bill, to whio6 the above quoted SEQ
tion is attached, baking the appropria.
ton bill paraindlnt to the former and
nullifying, until tie end of the year 1894,
the salary reduction bill.
Thus. it is seenjtlat all the salaries oil
the officers of lib Tillman administra.

Grecnri{ic Nc,cS.

CLEMSON COLLEGE. S. c., Jan. lon
account of the very large number OF APP
piicants for admission into Clemson col
lege at the next session, many more than
the college can possibly receive, great
many persons interested, both parents
and students, are constantly making in
quilies as to what methods will be adopt
cd to determine which ones will be ad-
mitted. The board of trustees have
adopted several rules regulating the gov
erning the admission of studtn,s.
All young men will be required to
They will also be required to stand phys
ical examinations, and such as have con-
tagious diseases and who are physically
unable to fulfill the duties required OF
them will not be admitted.
Applicants who are qualified to enter
the college proper will have precedence
over those applying for admission into
the preparatory department. According
to the best information obtainable about
three hundred Of the old students will
return. They, OF course being already
in the college, will not be disturbed.
The board has not yet decided how
many students will be admitted at the
next term, but there will be room for
two or three hundred new ones in addi-
ton to those already there. 1t is their
purpose to distribute admission into the
college among the several counties in
proportionE:to their representation III
the lower branch Of the legislature.
Therefore any county which has its quote
in the students ALREADY in the college
will not be entitled to any additional
| students until the applicants of those
counties which have not their quota has
been fully supplied.
Then again it would be impossible to
aocomm modate the applicants even for
one night at the college when they
have gone there to be examined. The
board has therefore decided to have ex-
aminatons conducted in the counties Of
the State which twill be presided ever
by one of the professors of Clemson as
sisted by com peent residents of each
place and the successful applicants will
be furnished wEh evidence cntitling
them to admissi dn.
These examinations will begin about
the middle Of Jatuary and ample no.
tice Of the time ind place will be given
80 that all interfted may attend them.
All applicants, Whether pay students or
not, will be reqiired to stand these e1.
aminations.
The next sessi|n will begin Thursday,
February 18th.

The records Of these mills show that the
South is the most inviting field for cotton
manufacturing, and the indications are
that in the near future new factories will
be started in this 8 ection. In 1880, the
South consumed 200, 900 bales of cotton.
IN 1888, the Southern mills consumed
600, 900 bales. There could be no stronger
evidence Of the SouEh's superiority over
ths North in it's advantages for cotton
manufacturing than that during the past
year. Northern mills have been shut
down, while the mills Of the South have
been running on full time and have paid
good dividends.

ST. REGIS INDIAN BASKETS!

Mr.. EDITOR: The St. Regis tribe
Of Indians are located on Reserva-
ton of $4,000 acres in Western Kansas.
The tribe numbers 2,1O0 souls, inclu-
ding bucks, squaws and papoose. They
still adhere to their own language, few
of them being able to speak English.
They, like the red men in general,
never want to he civilized enough to do
much hard work. That is one of
the accomplishments of the pale-face
that they regard as unfit for warriors,
and should only be tolerated when per-
formed by squaws. During the hunt
ing and fishing season the bucks are
seldom found at home, as they had
rather hunt o deer ten hours a day
for a week than hoe a half acre Of
corn. This rambling life, spent on rip
pling streams, mirror lakes and virgin
forests, studying the beautiful foliage,
the exquisite colorings of the forest
leaves, the lovely hues of the prairie
flowers, and their natural blending and
shading to produce brilliant and snowy
effects. These dreamy hours, spent in
studying nature, has developed a very
keen conception Of the artistic blend
ing of colors, SO as to produce most
gorgeous results. For centuries past
they have studied the making Of bril-
liant and delicate colored dyes, until
ut last they have acquired such skill
that they can dye strips Of wood that
cannot be distinguished from the finest
colored ribbons. These strips Of ash
are then heated, so that the colors will
be, "fast," when they are wound in and
out in the most beautiful styles Of Bas-
kets, and when finished they represent
picture Of color-blending unequalled
in a studio.
