In several Of the Montana counties
the commissioners are being roundIy
hauled over the Goals on the question
OF letting contracts for county print
ing, says the Great Falls Tribune. For
this they have only themselves to
blame. The law provides that they
shall let contract for the work to
some newspaper in the county. and
fixes minimum price. Instead of fol-
lowing the law and arranging with a
paper at a reasonable price, the COM
missioners. in many OF the counties.
have advertised for bids, and then have
not awarded the contract to the lowest
bidder. Hence the harsh criticisms.
The inviting of bids is not necessary.
for by so doing the commissioners vir-
tually surrender the discretion lodged
in them by the law. The intent is that
the proceedings shall be published for
the benefit of the public and common
sense suggests that the proper and
available medium in most instances is
paper published at the county seat
and one enjoying a large circulation.
Where there is a daily paper IL is rea-
sonable that IL should be the official
paper 1t is true that the cost for ad-
vertising in a city daily is larger than
in a country weekly, but the benefits
are correspondingly increased. Under
the uncalled for competitive bidding
the country papers naturally put in
low bids and when they fail to secure
the contract they very properly hop
onto the commissioners for breach OF
faith with them, and accuse them of
favoring the paper to which the award
is made. All this can be avoided.
While the statute rates are a little
higher than commercial rates. there
are none of the papers that would not
contract to do the work at the latter
figures, and there is no reason why a
paper should be expected to do work
cheaper for the public than II does for
the individual. If the commissioners
will keep the law i'm mind. select the
paper they believe the best. make an
honest price and award the contract
to IL, they will save themselves much
trouble and criticism and satisfy the
public.

Contagious
Blood Poison.

Mr.. Frank p. Martin. who is engaged
in the jewelry business at go Penn
sylvania Avenue, Washington City,
where he is well and favorably known,
was a victim of that worst form of dis
ease-contagious blood poison. He
realized that his life was about to be
blasted, for this terrible disease has
baffied the skill of the physicians for
ages, and they have never yet been
able to effect a cure. His mental
despair can better be imagined than
described.
In a recent letter he says: about
four years ago l contracted a severe
case of contagious blood poison, and
it was not long before I was in a terri
BILE condition. | Immediately placed
myself under treatment of two of the
best physicians in Washington city.

Policy Dictated.

Four years ago the money power
OF this country dictated the financial
planks in the platforms of the two
great political parties and at the same
time dictated the NOTWITHSTANDING
min Harrison and Grover Cleveland.
Having secured the nominations of
these men, both of whom were in
accord with the financial policy of
Wall Street, the money power ex-
pressed itself as satisfied and was alb
solutely indifferent as to the result
OF the election, knowing that it could
rely upon either Harrison or Cleve-
land to carry out its policy. This
year the money power attempted the
same thing. 1t went to St. Louis
and succeeded in securing from the
Republican party a financial plank
declaring distinctly for the mainte.
nance of the gold standard. But
when it went to Chicago it found the
people in full control and it was
powerless TO dictate the platform or
the nominees of the Democratic
party. What then did the money
power do? 1t bolted the platform
1t could not dictate, and now seeks,
by misrepresentation and falsehood,
to mislead the people and to preju.
dice their minds against it. 1t finds
in the platform, what nobody else
can see-anarchy, revolution and
ruin-all because the representatives
of the people at Chicago were de.
termined that the financial policy OF
the government should no longer be
dictated and controlled by the selfish
greed Of the money kings and
bankers of Wall Street.
