IT IS funny to see the St. Cloud Times
rail at the county commissioners for
awarding the county printing to the Jour:
naLPress, without offering it for bids
When the ring felt otherwise, and it was
the Times which got the plum, it was
the JournaLPress which rallied. 1t is not
the principle but the persimmons that
ails the Times.

orr WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, January avn Ao
EditonuHerald:
Senator Edmunds, in presenting pc
tition from the Woman's Relief board OF
Salt Lake City, demonstrating against
any action of Congress looking to the
admission of. Utah as a state, took occa-
sion to state that he was happy to say
that there was not much danger OF any
such action at this session. All good cit
liens can heartily say, Amen, to this
sentiment, and, in addition, will take
the liberty of expressing the hope that no
such action shall ever he taken until
polygamy shall have been really and
truly" as the children say, abolished IN
that Territory.
Senator Chandler is still championing
the rights of disfranchised voters in the
South. This week he presented petition
from Midway, South Carolina, asking
Congress to take steps to amend or abol-
ish state laws Of registration affecting
the rights of citizens to vote for Federal
officers.
Poor Cleveland. 1t seems that he is
never to hear the last of his troubles on
account of England and Englishmen.
This week a resolution was offered by
Senator Hoar and adopted by the Senate
calling upon the President for copies of
correspondence with Great Britain IN
regard to the right of fishing, taking
seals, or navigating in Behring's sea or
the adjacent waters, and to the seizure
or release of British vessels. Also, copies
of regulations, rules or directions in
regard to the same, and whether any
rules or regulations concerning such fish
ing or taking of seals are enforced against
the subjects or vessels of other coun-
tries.
Congress reassembled on Wednesday,
and the members gave little evidence of
their holiday beyond few rather bleared
looking eyes and little nervousness on
the part of their owners. Such effects
are common among other people imme-
diately after Christmas week. The Sen
ate, which meets daily at II o'clock I'M

right down to work on the that measure

might be obtained under the general pen

whole on the River and Harbor bill, with
as much cheerfulness as if that measure
stood chance-which it does not-of
becoming law.
Representative Springer, who seems to
be acting independently of the democratic
managers of the House, has introduced a
joint resolution for the admission, as
states, OF Arizona and Idaho. 1t was
easy enough to introduce the resolution,
but to get it before the House for action,
is an entirely different thing. However,
Mr.. Springer's intentions are good and 1

which he is entitled.

TIE ST.. CLOUD Times is justly indig-
nant at the outrage perpetratcd by the
commissioners in awarding the printing
contract to the .JournaLPress, but its in
dignation is based upon outrageous pre-
misses. 1t circulated a petition which
was required, demanding that the print
ing be given the Times in the same out
rageous manner because it is a democrat
ic paper and opposed to high license.
How the action of the commissioners
would be more commcndable in the one
case than in the other is what the aver,
age taxpayer will fail to see. The
Times had the contract last year on ex'
actlv the same terms which it now Justly
declares an outrage, and pocketeu about
81, 500 for its services.

DONNELLY DID 1T.

At the republican caucuses held on
Monday evening by the republican mem
bers of the house, Col. c. H. Graves was
selected for Speaker and c. r. Carpenter
of Pennington, for Chief Clerk-the lat
being general surprise as he had but
little numerical backing until at the last
moment when the deal was made which
organized the house. d. F. Morgan of
Albert Lea was generally thought to be
the stronger candidate for speaker, but
unfortunately the senatorialfight became
mixed up with the speakership and Mr..
Sabin's forces turned in solidly for Mr..
Graves, while the Washburn men were
divided at the last moment. A deal was
made for Mr. Donnelley's following, he
turning over his handful to Mr.. Graves
in consideration of the Graves men vot
ing for Mr.. Carpenter, the particular
friend of Mr.. Donnelly. 1t was a good
bargain for the Ninninger statesman
exchanging mere handful for a clear
majority. The vote stood forty to forty
six toi clerk, whereas for speaker it was
thirty o to fifty-six-a showing ofwhich
Mr.. Toward may we'll be proud
Mr.. Donnelly probably had no ill-feel-
ing against Mr.. Howard, but only de-
sire to assist friend, and yet he made
the most of the fact that he had been in
the employ of the Manitoba railroad.
That is all there is of the defeat of our
fellow-townsman and the influences
brought to bear against him.
Sank Centre may well feel a keen dis
appointment in the result, for it would
have been greatly to our honor to have
had Mr.. Howard at the clerks desk.
An unusual surprise was created yes
terday afternoon in political circles when
it was learned that Jas. X. Bennett, Jr.,
an attorney of this city, is leading in the
race for register of the United States land
office. Bennett has the written assur-
ance from Congressman Comstock, that
the latter will use his entire influence in
Benefits behalf He is also in posses
sion of a petition signed by a number of
Stearns county officials, and many prom
inent citizens and city officials. Mayor
Westerman and Editor Mitchell, of the
JournaLPress, it is stated, are neck and
neck for Editor Macdonald's receivership
office. Considerable quiet work is done
on both sides, and the contest will cause
unusual interest.-IPioneer Press.
The st. Cloud politicians seem to have
their knife into the federal cheese, cutting
it up and dividing it among themselves
without regard to the fact that perhaps
they don't own it all. The jurisdiction
of the land office is not confined to the
municipal limits of modest St. Cloud,
and there may be other claims and de
mands to be considered If the selfsac-
rifcing patriots of that city cannot come
to terms perhaps it would be well to re-
move the land office to Brainerd, or per-
haps the government might be induced
to locate a few additional land Offices in
ST. Cloud, sufficient to furnish places
enough to 60 around. Something must
be done, and something else may be
done.

When the constituents of county COM
missioners Pirz, Scheeler and Keepers
meet them they should ask them to ex-
plain why they did not vote to save the
county $500 or 5000 on county printing,
the offer being made by their own party
paper, without competition and at full
rates! They could have saved money
enough TO have paid more than half the
boards entire expenses for the year. Why
didn't they do it? Make them explain.
1t will not do for them to excuse them
selves by stating that the work will be
done at the same price as last year. Then
there was no offer to do it forless. This
year the Times proposed to perform the
same work at half price or eight hundred
dollars less.-St. Cloud Times.
For several years the Times has had
the county printing; an award made un-
der exactly similar circumstances-the
action in both cases being recklessly in
different to the financial interests of the
county. But the ring had the power and
it exercised it then as now, the only diff
ference being that one st. Cloud paper
has been substituted for another. The
western end of the county has never re-
ceived any consideration whatever, and
if resident desired to know what the
official publications contained he was
compelled to send to St. Cloud paper,
Even the superintendent of schools has
been forbidden to send notices of interest
to this locality to papers outside of St.
Cloud for publication. The Times has
no particular reason for kicking so vigor'
ously-it has had its fill of ring patron
| age in the past. 1t IS the other ringsters
turn-that's all. The county foots the
bills just as of old
