An lInilIhl Attack.

In it's issue of Tuesday the Daily Capt.
tai makes vicious and uncalled for at
tack on Secretary OF State RingSrud be-
cause he refused to let the contract for
printing the legislature bills and journals
to the Pierre Syndicte OF printers compos-
ed of the Capital Co.. the Journal publish
crs and the Carter Publishing Co. The
Capital says the secretary assisted Brown
4 Saenger of Sioux Falls in Il little sharp
practice. aud in>inuatcS that he has been
unduly Influenced Everybody that
knows Mr. Ringsrud knows that he is
honest and a straight forward business
man in all his dealings, and Will not sioop
10 a mean acton and can neither be
bought nor buldozcd into doing what he
thinks is wrong or against the interests
of the state The history of this now eel
ebra,ed case is us follows: Under the
state law the secretary of state is made
commissioner of printing, with the power
of letting contracts. In July last he ad-
ycrtsed for bids for state printing for the
currcn, fiscal year: state printing is dlvld-
ed into five classes, and contracts were
let for three. The other Two classes were
for legislative printing, one being Tor blllS
and the other for the daily and pcrman-
cnt journal. Brown Il Saengcr, OF Sioux
Falls, made bid for the permanent jour
nal, which bid was considerably lower
than the Joint bids of the three Pierre
firms, and the secretary would have let
the contract to them had not the supreme
court construed the law to be that class
could not be divided. After this decision
was rendered the secretary decided to re-
icct the joint bids on the two classes and
readvertise, when the printers come into
the eli: cult court and ask that writ OF
mandamus be issued compelling the Sec
rotary to let the contract under their bid.
The writ is returnable next Tuesday.
This is all there is to bring that column OF
TRADE against the secretary.
In the advertisement in which he asked
for bids he reserved ''the right to reject
any and all BIDS" as can be seen by an
advertisement elsewhere in this paper,
the last paragraph Of which is the same
as in the former advertisement.
The point involved is not alone the
price, but the nature Of the bid also which
was joint proposition and fer maximum
prices except on permanent journals.
The FREE PRESS does not care to 10 in
to discussion of the question Of prices
although it is we'll known that our state
law allows a smaller compensation fol
printing than almost any other state
though there are some reasons why the
price should be higher, but with the max
lug OF the law the secretary had nothing
to do, but under it it was his duty to get
tho work done as cheap as possible, and
he clearly had the right and was justified
in rejecting the bids In question.

house. Later in the day. however, Capt.

search for him, but did not succeed I'M

bank he would have been stunned and
possibly fatally injured and not able to

along the track and partially over him
killing him III that way. Another theory
of his death is that he was walking alons
the track with his head down. as one
would naturally walk in such gale, and
that the car was started and being blswI
along the track with considerable speed
struck him and knocked him down and
partially run over him. Either theory
would account for his death and the posi-

Sheep and Dogs Again

The American Cultivator makes a
statement to this effect: "Twice the
number of sheep would be owned in
New England If it were not for dogs
"a statement which is certainly COM
plimentary to the sagacity and fe-
rocity of the New England dogs, be-
sides being praise for the peaceful and
law abiding qualities of New Eng
land farmers. However, the asser-
ton is fair sample OF what is fire.
quently appearing on this subject in
agricultural journals. Naturally an
outside observer would conclude
that sheep could be kept in New Eng
land with the same degreee of safety
as in the wids of Central Africa.
Do dogs kill sheep? Sometimes.
Why not stop it? If a profitable in
dustry is paralyzed by half on ac-
count of dogs, is it not worth while
to bring about such a chain of cir
cumstances as will do away with
sheep-killing CANNES?
But it is said the dogs are "Iicensed
by law-to live" What of it? HUI
man beings are licensed by law-tO
live, SO long as they comply with
certain conditions; otherwise plat
forms are liable to drop beneath
them. AS before stated in these col
umns, it doesn't seem that this dog
question should be an argument
against keeping sheep, and it is fur
Their believed that the courts would
sustain mau in protecting his prop
erty against the ravages of dogs, Ii
censed or collarless. The following
bit of philosophy, from an unknown
source, is worthy of the first place in
the sheep and dog literature: "a
good dog won't kill sheep, and a
good man won't keep a sheep-kiling
dog. st. Juhnsbury CALIFORNIAN.

Democratic Program.

Instead of a new tariff bill, which
last year they so loudly and con-
stantly asserted their purpose to
bring in and pass and go to the coun-
try upon in 1892, they will content
themselves with nibbling at the Nc
Kinley bill, pecking away at the de-
tails, making what capital they may
by fanlt-finding with separate pro-
visions, and proposing quack RENE
dies for such imperfections in it as
they think they have discovered. In
brief, the new program is to do as
little open, square fighting as posi-
bic, but to keep up sort of miscel-
laneous skirmishing, and bend all
their energies to man9uvring for a
position in 1S92.-N. Y. Tribune.

Good Words.

1t was a sound speech which Hon.
John W Vrooman delivered the other
day on politics before the Young
Mems Christian association in Buffalo.
1t was full OF sterling truths 1t had
the true ring in it. Educate the mass
es, create a public sentiment which
will prevent bribery at elections
these were the principles he inculcated.
The doctrine of personal responsible
ty in politics he forcibly put thus:
To become a good politician does
not consist in the mere holding of
office or desire for political gain.
Every young man should feel that he
has certain other and higher political
duties to perform, and which he is
bound to faithfully discharge. His
obligations in this direction are, next
to God and home, the most sacred.
He must be constant and watchful,
active and fearless in the fulfillmento of
that duty, not for one day only, but
for each and every week day through
out the year. This leads me to say
to young men who may be anxious
to labor for good government that
first and constant effort should be
directed to cultivate political pride
and virtuA, as this will prove to be
the best method to purify political
negligence and corruption.

1t is said that some men will steal
anything from a haiPpin TO a red hot
stove. That saying may be an eX-
aggeration as to the red hot stove,
but it is certain that some men will
steal articles of very trifling value.
To illustrate. A certain popular res
taurant down town keeps a liberal
supply of butter upon its tables, and
its patrons are allowed to help them
selves at pleasure. But there are no
individual butter plates.
4 patron of the restaurant sug-
gested TO the proprietor that it would
be a good thing if he would put a
number of individual butter plates
on each table, so that his patrons
could use them if they wanted TO do
so.
That would cost me too much
money" was the reply of the propri-
etor
Hundreds of men come here every
day who would steal the butter plates

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL.-The public
school came in for treatment at the
annual meeting ofthe Worcester Con-
gregational Club on Forefathers' day.
The principal speaker was the Rev
Dr.. Mccullough. The public school
was declared to be the child of re-
formation. One of the earliest re-
suits of the reformation was the
translation of the Bible, land this was
practical recognition of the princi-
pile that the masses should be educat-
ed With this the public school
came into life. This fundamental
conviction of the necessity ofeducat-
ing the masses was transplanted
into American soil by the Pilgrim
Fathers. Under the influence of the
conviction that civil and religious
liberty was dependent upon popular
education and intelligence. educa-
ton became universal and compul-
sorry in the Massachusetts colony at
a very early period. The public
school system rests on the same
grounds today 1.-The state taxes
the people for common school edu-
cation, and then requires the attend
ance of children at school to a given
age. because the safety and best in
terests of the nation demand it.
