apply only skilled labor Is employed
clvil service or no civil service, and the
skill of printer cannot be determined
by his ability to answer questions from
text books,
A printers text book is his own head,
and seventy-fye per cent OF the best
printers of the country acquired their en-
tire education at the case" and not in
school room or college. They can,
many of them, give college professors
pointers in photography, grammar,
punctuation and great many other
things in connection with Composition,
without being able 10 repeat single
rule on which their knowledge is based;
and IN addition, as a rule, their general
knowledge is excellent. on examination
the educated printer can rattle of theo-
rIes and deliver lectureORn prhaseology
and every technicality VI his art, but
when he is placed at work he may find
that the printer at work beside him.
whose only school room has been the
printing office, may accomplish more and
with better results than our theoretical
friend
One of the humors of the situation in
which the government printing office
finds itself, by virtue OF Mr.. Cleveland's
"clvll service order, is being witnessed
just now in the typographical union in
Washington. There are, OF course, sew
eral hundred printers in this union,
which comprises the printers in the gov
eminent office, or the insiders" as they
are called, and those who are employed
in the newspaper offices and an unknown
quantity who are in the city seeking
places under the government, The lat
ter are known as the outsiders"
The union has become divided between
these two factions, The outsiders"
having managed to be in the majority
at one meeting of the union, passed
strong resolutions denouncing the appli-
cation of civil service rules To the gov
ernment printing office. and petitloning
the President to rescind his predeces-
sor's order, The resolutions were Off
cially communicated to the President. At
subsequent meeting, when the "in-
siders" happened to be in the majority,
another set OF resolutions passed, ex-
tolling the beauties Of the civil service
system as enjoyed by those who hold
the places over from the Democratic ad-
minIstration, and praying the President
TO let them alone.
This has been followed by another ac-
ton by the outsiders" relteratlng their
former position, so that the President
has three sets OF resolutions before him,
and officially representing the big print
ers' union, the largest in the country out
side of New York city, to be on both
sides of this important question.
1t is probable that the President is
puzzled over the affair, but in the mean
time the outsiders" are hoping that he
will become disguised and take the Office
outside OF the classified list, where 1t
should never have been placed.

THE FAIR INRURGENr
EVangelina CaSio-somsthing About her
HiStory-Not OF Noble Hood.


Chicago Record: Evangelina Cusio-
not Clsneros. as the newspapers usually
call her-the Cuban girl who escaped
from the house OF detention in Havana
with the aid of Carl Decker, correspon-
dent of the New York Journal, is now
at the Waldorf, enjoying luxurles and
surrounded by grandeur that her simple
soul never dreamed OF, and a notorlety
that will make life seem empty and
commonplace when other sensations
crowd her off the stage a few weeks
hence. She is the same girl whose story
/ told last February when was In Ha-
vana, and who had just then arrived
a prisoner from the convict colony OF
the Isle OF Pines. a short distance south
OF Cuba, where she had been arrested
for entlciRg the governor of the colony
20 her fathers residence In order that
the latter and some OF his fellow-prIs-
oners might murder him, She is re-
markedly pretty, with the face OF a
saint and a captivating manner and
does not seem TO have lost any Of her
good looks or other attractions during
gone, When she was discovered she i'm
mediatelV won the sympathies of Gen
eral and Mrs, Lee, who offered to take
charge OF her and find her home, but
understand they. do not now consider
her as innocent and blameless as they
formerly did
1t Is pity that the gels friends
are making such show of her and
using her as an advertisement, but she
enjoys It, and as she owes her liberty
to their Intervention nobody has the
right to interfere. Her future Is uncer-
tain. II is supposed that she will be
placed In a convent under the care of
a Catholic slsterhood to be educated.
She has never had any advantages, for
she is not OF noble blood and Is In no
way related to Salvador Cisneros, mar
Quls Of Santa Lucia, president OF the
Cuban republic as has been represent
ed. Her father was mechanic In a
little Cuban village. and is now a pris-
oner In the castle at Havana. awaiting
trial for the attempted murder of Col.
Berriz. Her mothers family bore the
name of Cisneros, and 1t also was OF the
peasant class Her father was arrested
and sent to the Isle OF Pines for giving
aid and information TO the insurgents,
and as her mother was dead and she
had no home nor relatives she was al
lowed to accompany him. Her father
will probably die In prison II he Is not
shot. and the girl is therefore an object
