it comes TO the House.
From the Portland Press.
Bear in mind" says the National Demo
crat ''that f. F. Pillsbury & Co. have offer
ed and still offer To do the State printing for
two years for what Sprague. Owen Nash
have received from the treasury above their
contracts, if the State will collect il back for
that purpose" That is an easy offer to make.
But the question which interests the people
of Maine is. who will do the State printing
cheaper this year?
From the Boston Herald
The Post thinks the Herald must have n
grudge against the eloquent Mr. Pillsbury of
Augusta Not bit of it. We are not sur
prised that he is willing to make all the money
he can out of the State printing. We Were
surprised that a committee of reformers
should report in favor of giving the contract
to him when he was the highest bidder. in
stead of giving il to the lowest
From the Boston Advertiser.
A good test of the sincerity of the reform
professions of the democratic and greenback
members of the Maine legislature was made
last week The committee which is charged
with the duty of making contract for the
State printing received three proposals. A
democratic printer put in the highest bid and
the present State printers the lowest. Yet
the committee, by party vote, decided to
make a contract with "GoVernor" Pillsburv's
concern, thus disregarding the lower offers
of job printer and of the publishers of the
Kennebec journal. II the contract should
be approved by the legislature. the State will
pay a. cents for composition which it could
have had done for 81 nts,--almost eighteen
per cent less, and that, too. by printers who
are thoroughly familiar with the business.
That contract should be referred II the com
mittcc on ',civi-service reform" which has
cut down the salaries of the State officers
to such an extent that taxpayers will he re-

thousand dollars of their property.
From the Boston journal.
The dcmocratic-grcenback members of the
Printing Committee of the Maine Legislature
have given fresh illustration of their dcyo-
ton to economy. Three bids were made for
the State printing. The highest bid was made
by +. +. Pillsbury 4 Co.. publishers of the
democratic paper. job printing concern
made bid - ;-j per cent. lower than Pills

grcenback members voted unanimously to
make a contract with the highest bidder. As
the printing costs about S25 600 a year. the
new light rcformers propose TO give demo

more than the sum for which the same work
will be done by other parties. In other words
