Our exchanges jus. now are hlied
with homilies on the dignity Of labor.
The theme is a trite ons. Human labor
in 9 thousand little rills replenish.s the
fountain Of mans earthly existence. 1t
rends the rocks asunder to build the
marts OF commerce. It sends it's tiny
but powerful roots into the soil. that the
cups may, in due season, fructify and re-
plenish and gladden. the earth. 1t dives
into the darkened mine. where cheering
sunlight never penetrstes. to bring forth
some of the most important necessities
OF modern civilization; for where would
that civilization be but for the products
of labor? As We value the products OF
labor, how much more should We esteem
the intelligent agencies by which they
are produced, In whatever sphere Of
action it may be. labor is honorable. and
there is ct times q moral heroism and q
spirit Of self denial exhibited. which
renders II sublime.

The undersigned, acting as Board OF
Appeal under section 8, chapter 95, Acts OF
1898, having had laid before them the ap-
peal OF Mr.. f. A. Christian from the award
of contracts for State printing made by the
Superintendent of Public Printing April l.,
1876, and having heard testimony and the
arguments Of counsel, by which it was
shown
l. That Mr.. Christian was the lowest bid
der by about third.
.. That he had had practice and eXpe-
rience in the description OF work he offered
to do, and possessed well-attested capacity
and skill for it.
8. That he was man OF unimpeachable
character and good business habits.
4. That he had the guarantee Of d compe-
tent and responsible business firm Of the
city that he should be furnished with an
ample supply Of types, presses, and other
material necessary to enable him to do
promptly and in workmanlike style all the
work he might be required to do
Are of opinion that the contract for doing
such and so much OF the printing for the
State as he, the said Christian, submitted
proposals for should have been awarded to
him, and they decide that it be now. so
awarded. +
The undersigned are furthermore Of opin-
ion that the said Christian should be allowed
