PRINTERS ENTER
STRONG PROTEST
Criticise Civil Service Conn
MISSIONS Methods.
UNJUST TO COMPOSITIONS
Natives Are Disseminated Against in
Call for Men at the Government
Printing Office.

Local printers who are members OF
Columbia Typographical Union are
complaining because the Civil Service
Commission has not completed the rat
ing of examinations taken last spring
for compositor positions in the Gov
ernment Printing Of1ce.
1t is stated at the commission that
the usual time required to complete the
ratings in an examination is about three
months. To several who have asked
about the coupositor examinations held
in the early spring. the officials at the
commission have admitted that the work
is several weeks behind. but say that
owing to there being only a limited num-
Der of examiners the papers for the diff
ferent branches of the service are eX-
amined only as the needs OF the service
demand.
What Printers Assert.
The printers who are anticipating en-
pIoyment at the Government Printing
Of1ce point 20 the fact that the com
mission is now certifying names to the
osf1ce from the old register, under the
examinations take a year or so ago. and
say that this serves to discriminate
against those who took the examination
in the spring for the first time, as well
as InOSe VINO again tOGk the eAdiIllila-

Award for the Cherokees.

Washington, March 23.-The
cases of the Cherokee nation of In
dians and of individual Cherokees
against the United States were de-
cided by the Court of Claims yester-
day. They involve large amount
of money, and are of an unusual and
extraordinary character. The United
States bought the Cherokee Outlet,
agreeing to pay for it $8,300,O00,
bcing about 81 per acre, and also
agreeing to reopen long standing
controversy between themselves and
the Cherokees. In 1885 treaty
was made, under which the Chero-
KEGS were to move or be removed
from Georgia, Alabama and Tennes-
see to the Indian Territory. The
Cherokees contended before they
were removed that under the pro-
visions of the treaty they were not
to be made to pay the cost of re-
moving from homes, which they did
not wish to leave, to country to
which they did not wish to go. The
government, however, held to the
contrary.
When the Cherokee Outlet was
sold they stipulated that all of their
accounts should be reopened and the
matter equitably settled, and for that
purpose the United States should
make out an account and transmit it
to the Cherokee nation. If the
Cherokee nation adopted it Congress
should Immediately appropriate for
whatever balance might be found
due. The account was adopted
but Congress did not appropriate the
money, and for some time did
nothing.
In the present suit the Court of
Claims decides that the account
transmitted by the Secretary of the
INTERIOR followed by. this inaction of
Congress, renders the United States
liable for the balance of S1,111,2S4,
with interest from June II, 1888,
which amounts approximately to
S4,500,00O.

Sure He Was a Presbyterian.

In certain town of Western
Massachusetts two of the most promi-
nent citizens are Methodist brother
and Presbyterian brother, accord
ing to Harper's Weekly. These are
neighbors, and, for the most part,
dwell on good terms, except when
they try to effect an exchange of
horses, or to talk religion.
On one occasion the two had
traded horses and although the out
come rankled in the breast of the
Methodist, they had met and started
discussion ON the subject of pre-
destination. As usual, an alteration
ensued, when the Methodist lost con
troll of himse elf. With miyed emo
tions concerning horse trades and
John Calvin in his mind, he suddenly
exclaimed:
"You're robber, liar, and a
Presbyterian /"
This proved too much for the
Presbyterian, and fight began, in
which the Presbyterian got the best
of it. AS he sat upon his PROSTATE
opponent, humping his head on the
ground, he said:
"Take it back, take it back, or Pll
bump your foolish head off !"
I'll take it back" gasped the van
quished Methodist, con the first two
counts; you're not a robber nor a
liar, but you're blamed old Presby-
terian if / die for it !"

Mistakes About John C. Calhoun.

The Anderson Mail, OF March 1S,
says:
"Just 1913 years ago to-day, on
March 18, 1882, there was born in
the home of Presbyterian preacher,
where Clemson College now stands,
13 miles from Anderson, little
child, who was christened John G..
Calhoun, and afterwards became the
Great Commoner' of South Carolina,
and one of the trumvirate of greatest
American orators and statesmen,
Webster, Clay and Calhoun"
There is slight mistake in the
above, for John @. Calhoun was born
in Abbeville county, at the home of
his father, and had nothing to do
with Fort Hill, where Clemson Col
lege now stands, until he was man
of distinction.
"The Great Commoner" was applied
to William Pitt, the great English
statesman, and is properly used only
in connection with him.-Abbeville

Vaccination Law to bo Enforced.

Compulsory vaccination will now
be enforced in every county in the
State. The State board of health,
at its meeting on March 81, passed a
resolution, which in general way
meets the requirements of the act
passed at the last session of the
Legislature, and the Attorney Gene
raj has been instructed to draw w .
skeleton ordinance, which will be
sent to all towns and cities requiring
compulsory vaccination. The board
has so far pushed its campaign for
compulsory vaccination throughout
the State and over $500 has been
spent this year in vaccinating the
people of the State. The board will
now appoint agents in each county
who shall see that those people liv-
ing in unincorporated villages are
vaccinated, and there is a heavy
penalty attached to those who do
not comply with the law. A COM
mission OF five cents is given the
agent and nominal charge of ten
cents is made in each case.

Songs by Afflicted People.

Many of the most familiar hymns
were written by blind woman. A
writer in the Denver News says:
"Few persons among those who
attend prayer meetings or revivals
and join in the singing of such
hymns as "Rescue the Perishing,"
call the Way my Saviour Leads
me-" and other familiar ones--a score
or more all told--are aware that the
words of the hymns were written by
woman, blind since six months Of
age. Miss Fanny Crosby, the writer
of the hymns, is now resident of
Bridgeport, Conn, and was on last
Friday, March "a, s5 years of age.
She is said to have enjoyed the
friendship of Presidents Tyler and
Van Buren, Henry Clay, William r..
Seward, Gen. Winfield Scott and
other men conspicuous in American
history. In recent interview she
said 81 believe everything happens
for purpose, and what may seem 10

He said, "Then there is nothing left

this, said:

the field ?" He replied:
