THE PRINTERs.-Thc following from the pen Of Junius Henry Brown, is true to the letter: Printing ink begets cynicism, as damp. ness rheumatism, or foul air fever There is no escaping it. Men in printing Offices, whether they prepare or set copy, contract the disease and suffer from it more or less, as their mental system responds to or re- sists it, They know that the golden COB lets the public admire are only paste. boards; that the glttering jewels are only colored glass that the crimson glory Of the taLleux is but fash of red fire that the mouthing fellow who is lavish of his dukedoms is in arrears for his morning cocktail. Life is unidealized to them from the outset. 1t is stripped of its illusions, and fine names are but echoes of emptiness. Why expect them to admire? Why ask them to be ambitious Why look for en- thusiasm in them? Tho printer understands how reputa. tions are made. He knows that they are not blown forth from the trumpet of him who seeks reputation by performing solos and gets it thereby. He is aware tha, while genius starves, inpudence fattens that while wisdom hides in q garret, fin. pancy draws on the pave; that while in. spiration pines, management fushes with health. He sees that the editorial Ian guage Of the statesman aud artist is in the statesman or artists own hand that hon. ors are easy to the man that has the et: frontery to ask, and the determination no, to be denied. No marvel, he believes all achievement unworthy, all success sort Of cheat, all persons Of eminence those who have not yet been found out.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-The president this afternoon issued a proclamation re- garding the Cherokee strip, stating that the entrance Of settlers upon these land is unlawful, and all persons are warned against entering thereon. Those entering will be Immediately removed. H UsH CONTINUES. ARKANSAS CITY, KAs., March 15.-Wlth- in the first forty-eight hours of the inva- sion of the Cherokee strip at least $4,000 persons have invaded the Cherokee strip from different points along the border They did not move forward like troops on dress parade. but with the impetuous charge of q victorious army. In the wild rush for choice claims the head of a family was on the skirmish line astride of the feetest animal heecouId find. In the rear the family moved along with delibera- ton, conveying to their new home all kinds of camp equipage and supplies. Nearly every quarter section of land for eighteen miles south Of this city is at pres ent staked off and many Of them are occu- pied by squatters. The report that a com pany of cavalry, under the command of Cavanaugh, would arrive here this after noon caused some uneasiness, but as the hours rolled by without the troops appearing, confidence was restored and a feeling of security prevailed. This how. ever was short lived, for at 4 o'clock the news that the president had issued a proc lamation ordering all settlers off the strip was received. Should the soldiers attempt to remove them there will be no organized resistance, put it is believed it will take an army of 5000 men to keep them from set Ting back on the strip. one>perpIexing

Protection W. Free Trade. The subject before Congress at the present time, which interests all the people Of the United States, says the Montana Gazette, but much more particularly the people Of the West, is the question whether the taxes of the government shall be col lected 90 a. to raise the price of home manufacture, or whether free competition shall be allowed between our own and foreign manufacturers. The New England States under the Morrill, tariff have for years been paid millions of dollars by the people of the West that was not only need. less but was wrung from them as a tax We suppose for the superabundance of morali- ity, honest and religion they pretend to furnish for the benefit of the Union.
