MAGNITUDE OF THE WORK
Increase in the Public Printing
Supervised by MI. Benedict.
Intr0d uction of Modern Methods and
New Machinery-''Lowest Bids"
Should He Carefully Scrutinized.

-. The magnitude Of the work deyOlying
upon Public Printer Benedict is not get-
orally appreciated. His annual report for
the year ended June 80, which has been
heretofore mentioned In these columns, is
short, but It is enlightening. One brief
sentence shows NOT only the great amount Of
work done, but how it is increasing.
Mr.. Benedict was Public Printer III 1887.
In that year he found much difficulty in
meeting the demands OF the service. II was
a long-session Congressional year, but he
managed TO use up 2,71S tons OF paper and
finished 1927 ,2S2 bound volumes, and
2S6, ,491 pamphlets.
During the year ended June 80, 1895,
finished 1,7S7, ,473 bound volumes, and
1,1S2,35b pamphlets. The output would
have been more but for the neglect of paper
contractors, and Interruption OF work
caused by building repairs.
Mr.. Benedict takes pride In the fact
that, through the Introduction of modern
methods and new machinery, he has not
only been able to meet the often hurried
demands upon the office, but he has Sc
cured u higher standard OF workmanship.
Many OF the publications, he says, are now
admirable in composition, press work. proof
reading, illustrating and binding, ana are
scarcely TO be excelled by the product OF
the best private houses Of the country.
He asks that change be made in the
awarding OF contracts for paper. Con-
tractors have cndeavored to supply inferior
qualities.
He thinks ..lowest bids should not be
accepted unless the bidders are known to
be reliable and that they should submit
samples of what they can furnish. instead
OF the government showing samples OF
what il requires. The present plan has done
much to lower The standard OF public print
ing, The life OF most of the books produced
by the office during recent years will, Mr.
Benedict says, be Of short duration, owing
10 the perisbable character of the paper
used.
Mr.. Benedict resents the imputation that
the office has fallen under the "baneful
influence of The spokesman" He says the
employees have reason to hope that the
order of the President. putting them i'll
the classified service-an order which the
majority of them asked fdr-will protect
the force from an oyercrowding OF the
office. He does not see, however. how this
can remove the cause for large reductions
in force after each short Congressional
session. To show the tenure of office in his
force he shows that OF the 2,136 employees
on August 1, 125 had been employed twenty
five years or over; 202 twenty years or over;
617 ten years or over and ,230 five years
or over.
One Of the new duties of the Public
Printer under the act OF January IL, 1895,
was the appointment OF a superintendent
OF documents, to receive all surplus public
documents from the various departments,
TO assort and catalogue them and supervise
their distribution and sale F. A. Crandall
OF Buffalo was given this work, and his re-
port on the difficulties he encountered and
his suggestions make very interesting
addition to Mr.. Benedicts report

SELLING ADULTERATEDFOOD.
Four Dealers Arrested In I'ittsburg
for That OffenSe.

Four Dealers Arrested In I'tttsburR
for That OffenSe.
Pjttsburg, Dec. 19.-The first legal brush
between dealers who sell adulterated ar
ticles of food and the State department OF
Grips office here yesterday, when four
provision dealers of this city were held for
court, charged with violating the pure foCd
act passed by the recent legislature. The
actions resulted from Investigations made
by r. n. Moore, special examiner for the
State department of agriculture.
The four persons entered $500 bail each.
They are Henry Reuter-, s. l.. Marshall,
Robert Carson and S. p. Charters. Other
suits have been entered. Robert Carson
was accused of selling diluted vinegar.
Mr.. Moore testified that a chemical exam
ination developed the vinegar was not cider
vinegar, but had been distilled and con-
tained only Oue-fourth the solids required
by law.
Henry Reuter- was charged with selling
"filled cheese" its analysis showing it TO
contain but half butter fats, the remaining
being foreign fats. Reuter- pleaded igIor-
ance of the cheese being adulterated.
Charters was accused of having sold
aduiteratcd ground coffee. Mr. Moore
bought package of the stuff from him.
The package was labeled compound
Charters told Moore he sold 1t as n mix
ture, two pounds for twenty-five cents
The chemist testified that the compound
was half coffee the other half being chicory
and wheat bran.

charged with the murder of Mrs. Pollard
He cites his own action In the matter of
protecting them in their cases since then,
and, gives the present status of affairs.
In view of the fact that the sheriff of
Lunenburg declares that he Will not call
for troops-to guard the prisoners back to
the court house, when they return there to
be again tried. he recommends the amending
and re-enacting OF section 211. of the code
of Virginia. SO as to give the governor
power to call forth militia to suppress COM
binatiOns. tumults, riot or resistance to law.
The governor says he has no doubt the
Lunenburg people as q body would not
sanction any mob violence. but saws there
are bad and reckless men in Lunenburg. as
well as elsewhere. and the county authori-
ties must have so thought when they asked
for troops in July. which action subsequent
