A SHY PRACTICE.

A silly and demoralizing practice is
that Of bidding for the count, printing.
The comfy publishers themselves are
often responsible for this practice. In
order to keep the other fellow from get
ting the work they offer to do it for less
than the legal rate. II rates can be thus
cut once, the officers argue, they can be
cut again and each, time thereafter bids
are asked.
II bids are asked on doing certain
printing why should not bids be asked

ed TO permit the governor to advertise

Offices OF the state. Let the job of office
holding to the lowest bidder. Such 9
plan would be as sensible as the common
custom of asking bids on publishing
county work.
The proper thing for newspaper pub
Esners to do is to decline all temptations

Among the decisions handed down by
the supreme court in Pendleton recent
ly was one in the ease OF McKennon
va. American Fire Insurance Company
garnishee. The main point in the case
is that Of sustaining the validity Of the
homestead exemption law passed at
former session OF the Legislature. The
appeal grew out Of the Cotner Insurance
case. McKennon garnisheed the insur-
ance company for debt owed by Cotnel
and the company refused to pay on the
grounds that the amount of the policy,
about 5000, was exempt from execution,
The homestead exemption act provides
that free holder may claim exemption
to the amount OF 81 800. Nearly all the
circuit courts Of the state have decided
that the law is imperative, but the sn-
preme court has now affirmed the valid
ity Of the act.

AN ABUNDANCE OF SUPPLIES,

Official Advfces Regarding the Re-
lief of Americans I'm Cuba.
Consul General Lee cabled the State De-
partment today from Havana that the
amount of supplies he has now on hand
there for the relief of American citizens in
distress is abundant, and will last for some
time. Presumably this statement applies
generally to all the consulates, for the con-
sui general has been in consultation with
his subordinate oonsuls on this very mat
ter by direction of the Secretary of State
At any rate, the department will now
pause before moving further in the direc-
ton of distribution of relief
Steps were begun yesterday afternoon to
hurry forward supplies from this country
to Cuba just as soon as General Lee was
heard from. General Sullivan, commissary
general, had selected one of his most ex-
perienced assistants, Captain Davis, who
rendered such good service at Memphis
in the relief of the flood sufferers, to go to
Cuba with the supplies, If necessary, and
distribute them, under the general plans of
General Lee. The New York commissary
depot was to undertake the purchase of the
supplies. Then Mr.. r. A. Smith, a director
in one of the steamship lines pIyinp he
tween New York and Havana, had offer
ed free transportation to Cuba of the sun
plies. and everything was in train to beein
to move as soon as word came from Cen
eral Lee.
NOW, however, the department will wait
unui Generai Lee notifies 1t that there is
further need for relief before nuttinp ,ts
plan into operation.
