A SPLIT In THE BIDS.
A County Committee of Two Di-
vides on Official Printing.

IA county COInInlCCc0 Oh Two III.
vides on Official Printing.
The committee on county printing
met yesterday morning to make its re-
port on the bids received from H.. p.
Hall, Brown, Treacy & Co., and the
Dispatch for the county printing for
the ensuing year, beginning July l. Of
the three commissioners in the commit
tee there were but two present-Lavalle
and Boyd. Something very unusual,
and never before attempted by any
county commissioner, no matter how
bold. was the cool manner in which Com
missioner Boyd. of Rose town, proposed
to report favOrably to the bid of the
Dispatch Printing company. Mr.. Boyd
had actually prepared the report, and
as he drew it from his pocket, and felt
the Small-siZed but all-there Commits
sioner Lavalle, there was look upon
his tawny face which betrayed the
trick. Commissioner Lavalle held that
the bid OF Brown, Treacy & Co. was the
lowest, and the contract should be
awarded to them. Boyd began to Jug
gle with some old post mortem
technicalities 4. of which he ap-
peared himself to be ignorant. He
stated that, notwithstanding the
Dispatch bid was the highest, it alone
was accompanied with samples of the
work bid upon. This was required of
bidders some twenty years ago, but has
been utterly abandoned the past nine
years, to be suddenly resurrected. The
county, it woull seem, only solicited
bids for their punctilio and not for
monetary saving to the community.
Commissioner Lavalle said he would re-
port for Brown, Treacy & Co., and
the obtrusive Mr.. Boyd would
do the same for the Dispatch
here they were a-straddle of
the fence. In all the years that any of
the bidders have been bidding they
have never yet paid any attention what
ever to the obsolete rule upon which
the dispatch commissioner" bases his
obstinate argument. 1.-THE county
wants the cheapest printing, and does
not intend to pay for the practice of
snap games and finely-drawn techni-
calities," says Commissioner Layalle,
''and at the meeting of the board Mon
Gay it will be seen for what reason the
county advertises for bids"

RANDOM REMARKS.

Notary Elliott-It has been too common
with notaries to take the Acknowledgements
OF people to whom they have just been in
troduced.
Adjt. Gen. Mullen-In justice to Gov. Mer
riam it must be said the dismissing of Gen.
Brandt and the appointment of his successor
were without his knowledge.
j. c. Wiiliams-H there are not some very
important appointments for Minnesota bull
letined within few days. it will indicate
somebody has locked horns over them. Ap-
poiptments. generally come rapidly at the end
of the fiscal yeor.
Claiming Seabury-There is nothing in the
withdrawal OF George R. Newell Co., Of Min
neapolis, that should in any way affect the
Minnesota Grocers' association. There is
too much at stake.
Gen. Roger-I can only repeat what said
before: l have had no application from
Missoula for troops, and am not aware of
any additional outbreak .-,

WHAT ARE RECORDS FOR?

AS was we'll said by prominent judge, re
Gently the newspapers are the best and SAT-
est eustodians of the public welfare. A per-
tinent instance of this is found in the con-
spiracy case now so conSpicuously before the
publia and the moral cannot be drawn too
sharply. 1t is stated that Stensgaard, now
under arrest, made an innocent accomplice
of the register of deeds of Ramsey county.
of course Mr. Bell and his clerks were lnno-
cent. but they should take warning. Stems
Caard offered the Ii lse Uhlein deed tor rec
ord. and requested the fact be kept from the
public press: and the request was granted.
The recorder saw nothing wrong about that,
and this alleged conveyance OF real estate
was not known TO the general public.
~
If that transfer had appeared with the
others in the newspapers, it would nave at
once caught the eyes of the friends OF the
real Mr.. Uhlein, and the game would have
been blocked 0(om that time. The public
prints furnish the only general information to
be had, and the publichas learned to rely upon
them for just this class OF news. This con
veyanee would have been seen, and the title

transpired that the fraud was exposed
friend of Uhlein heard of the sale: This
friend would have sooner learned it through
the newspapers, had the deed been printed
with others, as it should have been.
80
The records of the flee of the register OF
deeds are public property. 1t is for the ben
eft and information of the public. and to ex.
pressly prevent frauds, that the system OF
recording real estate changes was adopted;
ana yet these ends are partially frustrated by
the courtesy of officials in suppressing them:
Every days issue of the daily papers will
contain, in the real estate transfers. so many
unpublished deeds, meaning so many con-
veyances suppressed. Scme are fair and
honorable Transactions and others are
whats Any man may walk in and offer a
conveyance for record with the request:
Don't give this to the papers" The obliging
clerk or recorder complies with the request.
BY what right does he do it?
~
The practice should end right here. The
newspapers should have free and unrestrict-
ed access to the public records and then the
public would be kept fully. informed, There
is no doubt in the world that these deeds
have been suppressed with only good inten-
tons, but now that the baneful effects have
been shown, the good intentions should end.
There is a certain sultry rendezvous that is
said to be paved with these good Intentions.

brought forth the Oft-repeated and we'll
worn arguments III favor OF the draw
bridge at a loW grade. Petitions sigued
by. several hundred West side citizens
were also presented. in favor Of the low
structure. No one appeared In OppOsi-
although City Engineer Rundlett
seemed inclined to the belief thata high
bridge should be built, believing that
a wbridge so near the Wharves would
greatly hinder navigation. On motion
Of Aid. Sanborn the whole matter was
finally laid over until the first meeting
in August, with recommendation
that the citizens of West st. Paul, in
tereSted steamboat men and business
men generally he present at that time
to make known their wishes in the mat
ter.
The proposition to construct wagon
bridge over the Milwaukee railway at
Selby avenue, at an estimated cost of
$55, 900. was favorably recommended by
a unanimous vote, with an order to the
city engineer to advertise for bids at
once. Aid. Sanborn will introduce a
resolution at the next council meeting
ordering the necessary change of grade.
The whole expense of the i'm
provement must be borne by the
city, the railway company having
established its right of way before the
street was opened.
The committee from the Arlington
Hills Citizens union were on hand again
to urge the necessity of new bridge
over the Omaha tracks at Burr street.
The ale cations made at the lastcouncil
meeting of ''funny work" on the part of
City Attorney Murray, City Engineer
Rundlett and ex-Ald. Petsch were re-
iterated and evidently had their
effect, for it was decided by
the committee to recommend that the
company be ordered to rebuild the
bridge. F. A. Fogg also appeared to
ask why no action had been taken in
the matter of bridge over the railway
tracks at East Eighth street, which In
-terested property owners have offered
to assist in building. !. The matter
proved to be still in the hands of the
engineer and was not reported upon.

White Bear.

The popularity of White Bear lake,
both as summer resort and as a per-
manent home, has been so increased by
the improvements Of the st. Paul & Du-
luth railroad that there has been con-
siderable interest shown in real estate
in its vicinity. AS consequence. Odin
&. Clay IL Co. will offer at auction sale
this afternoon at 5 o'clock, at White
Bear station, a number of Lots beauti-
fully situated in convenient reach of
the lake. Their object is to sell num-
Der of Lots in Happy Homes addition,
which is near the Minneapolis junction
on the railroad, very cheap, to induce
purchasers to build. Hence they will
offer these Lots, whose list prices are
$3.50 and $500. at whatever they will
bring above 500, to be paid for S25 cash,
and the balance in semi-annual pay
ments. at 6 per cent interest.

the Fruits Of Victory: '@ %
Representatives Of the lake and rail
lines are, holding a. meeting in Chicago
for the purpose Of discussing an ads
vance in freight rates. Nothing has
been definitely decided yet, but it is re-
garded as certain that an advance will
be made at once The all-rail rates take
effect July 5, and within few days
after that the. lake and rail rates will be
advanced very considerably. The basis
on which the new rate is to be made is
that of an arbitrary differential. A CON-
modify tariff on ten-eent differentiaI
rate will be made. This is within a
fraction of the new rate, which. Of
course, cannot be given accur ately, not
having been yet decided upon. The
lake lines, having won their bat
tie, have now no object in
maintaining a rate on which
they make absolutely nothing,
even suppose they lose nothing. The
fight was entered on question Of prin-
ciple. They. maintained their right to,
a differential rate. The Chicago lines
refused to admit this, or to accede to
their demands. The Lake Superior.
lines then proceeded to force the issue.
If they could not have ten-cent differ
ential they proposed to make such a
rate that would bar out their rivals
from any lake and rail business. When
they made the f1ftT-f0ur-cent rate, the
ChicagO.lines resigned the game, fore
seeing an inevitable checkmate. The
all rail rates were at once advanced to q
paying basis. This having been done,
Che Lake Superior lines realized that
the battle was theirs, and now are dis
cussing the details of new tariff sched-
ule. The basis of this will be probably,
the sixty-cent schedule of the Chicago
lines, as qualified. by the commodity
tariff. A safe prediction to make. is
that their new tariff will be as nearly as
possible, 10 cents lower all around than
that Of the Chicago lines. On this basis
money can be made, and the principle
of a differential is established.

ANYTHING TO ANYBODY.
What New Jersey ProhIbitiouists Think a
Republican Platform Means.


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
NEW YORK, September 19.-General
Clinton B. Fisk, candidate for President on
the Prohibition ticket last fall, was asked
to-day what he thought the temperance
plank in the platform adopted by the New
Jersey State Republican Convention on
Tuesday meant-local option, high license,
or both or neither. He replied: "This
plank is, in my mind, a very good plank
for those who like that kind of plank. A
man who is in favor of local option can con-
strue it as for local option, and the man who
wants high license can construe it as being
in favor of high license. That platform
does not say anything. 1t does not mean
anything, and its commits the party to
nothing. was willing to help elect
Legislature which would give us an efficient
local option law, but this platform SAYS
nothing"
George La Monte, the Prohibition candi-
date for Governor, said when asked what he
thought of the platform: "Whv, it means
anything to snybody or nothing to any,
body. He added that the plank had been
submitted to the brewers attorneys and was
pronounced satisfactory. Then it was pre-
sented to the Prohibition Republicans and
was satisfactory to them. As to the
effect of the plank on the Prohibi-
ton vote, he said: "I have heard
Republicans declare that if the party did
not take decided stand in the matter they
would not vote with it, and yet their politi-
cal bias swaYed them at the last. If any
good to the Prohibition party results it will
be more from a suppression of Republican
votes than any direct detection of Repub-
licans to the Prohibitionists."

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DlsPATcH.I
CoNNELLsvrLLE, September 19.-"There
is scarcity of coke as well as scarcity of
coke cars in the Connellsville region" says
the Courier, in its review this week. The
demand has at last become greater than the
supply. In spite of the fact that all the
outside coke regions have fred up their
long idle ovens again, and are putting the
product on the market. the Connellsville
operators have more orders than they can NIL.
There still remain few idle ovens in the re-
gion, but these are being fired up as rapidly as
possible, and new ones are being projected.
Already the production and output Is up to
the average of the boom times of last fall, and
the conditions of trade warrant the prediction
that they must soon exceed them.
st is an interesting fact that the iron trade
situation at the present time is much the same
as that which prevailed ten years ago, when the
price of iron was advanced from cents in
August to cents IN the following February,
and when the price of coke rose from q 10 TO
81 50 in a few months. The boom of 1879 was
preceded by Just such dullness as marked the
present spring. and the improvement began
about the same time in the year. lt is not
probable. however, that the boom OF looS VII!
be SO violent as that Of 1879. 1t is to be hoped
that 1t will not. Such rapid and great ad-
vances are sure to be followed by correspond
ingly radical reactions and consequent demor-
alization of trade. Better moderate prosperity
longer continued. None appreciate this fact
better than the iron men themselves, and 1t is
not likely that the folly of 1879 will be repeated
this year.
1--WE may not, therefore. look for such ex-
travagant prices as characterized a correspond
ing period ten years ago, but an advance to 81
is not at all without the bounds of possibility.
The estimated production of last week was l26,.
4SS tons. This is the biggest weeks output.
with but one exception, during the present
year. and within LOCO tons of being the largest
weeks production in the history of the coke
region. The shipments for last week were
correspondingly large. aggregating 64OO cars"
