People's voice., 1898-01-20


Republican papers should be allowed
to come in under the precedent that
had grown up of letting the work to
the lowest bidder and crowd the
work down below the cost line
Many Of them felt, as we now feel,
that the basis Of the cry for letting
the work to the lowest bidder was
the standing bid of Luke Herring
from which it originated-45 per
cent. The people felt that full legal
rates were exorbitant. They were
not and are not now, averse to paw
ing fair living wage for this as well
as any other service, and it Was this
idea that prompted the resolution
last fall.
These low rates are no more an
injustice 10 the publisher than to the
printers who work for weekly wages
in the employ of tie publisher.
These men are entitled TO fair nav.
which they cannot receive under
these conditions. Certainly the
$4,000 people Of Sumner county do
not want good printers to work for
less than 81 per day, which some of
them are now doing. They are
chafing under such wages and they
think that the Peoples party, which
claims to be the party of the laborinp
man as we'll as the farmer, ought not
to foster such wages.
The Voice will manage to get
along in some way, but being human
1t would be folly for US to say that
We DO not feel the injustice. Our
type and presses are wearing-will
soon have to be replaced wita new
ones. 1t seems to be conceded in
political and newspaper circles that
the party has few better papers in
the state than The Voice, and We are
unable to see why it should be dis
crlninated against in this manner BY
the people who look to it for aggres.
slve leadership in the agitation of
reform principles. We have no cor
porauons nor campaign funds to
lean upon; We get no thanks and
little pleasure from the enemies We
make in fighting the battles of the
party. But the people of the couniy
expect it Of us, and we believe
in reality the voice of the people
would say that the county patronage
should be given us at fair-not exor.
bltant-rateS. This is prevented,
however, by conservative board
conservatism gone to seed.
We hope some time to see the
county printer elected and paid his
tees the same as any other county
officer but until that time the
VOICE would be untrue to its own
interests did it fail to insist on fair
play. The county paper is more
essential to party organization than
any other one appendage, and
Why should not its claims be a,
least equal to those of a janitor for
the cocrt house, who wa awarded
his job at sSS per month when there
was bid in for $40 per month?
Why should not the poor farm
superintendent and for that mat.
ter all the county Offices be let out
to the lowest bidder on the same
principle?
Why shorld the newspaper alone
be subjected to this literal merciless
precedent?
We believe the people love justice
and fair play, and after having dis
pensed with the exorbilant prices
that used to prevail for county print
lng-and which yet prevail where
Republicans are dominant - thew
will and do favor the giving Of the
official printing TO the VOICE at liv-
ing wages.

The Negligence of Congress.

fHilade4pslia FreSS.
Fortunately the danger TO the suprem.
court rooms in Washington by the explo-
sion and fire is not so great as first report
ed. There must have been negligence or
the accident would not have happened.
The number Of employees about the build
ing Is so large that they can with diff
Guilty keep out of each others way; but
there is no proper supervision over them,
and it is quite probable that the rooms in
which the gas is said TO have accumuat-
cd had not been inspected for days. 1t is
folly 10 leave the important records Of the
supreme court TO the mercy OF building
not fire proof. That is the penny wise
pound foolish policy pursued by congress
in regard 10 such matters in Washington
II so many members of congress did no..
practice before the supreme court as law
yers probably arrangements would have
been made long ago for separate building

a faculty has been in the possession OF
the human race the more universal it is,
and the earlier it appears in the average
Individual And those faculties which
are active in our dreams seem to me- IN
the main those of our primitive nature
rather than those which have been more
recently developed. Thus, the Canadian
expert remarks, sense of color is lack
ing in only about one man in forty
seven, and it appears in the individual
at the age of five years; the moral fac
ulty is missing in one person in twenty
five, and seldom appear until one is fif-
teen years of age; whereas the musical
sense is possessed by only one-half of
mankind, and, in the average man or
of twenty. Rarely does any one of the
three play any prominent part in our
dreams.
Whatever may be thought of this
scheme of mental evolution as a whole,
or of any feature of it, few people will
dissent from the closing suggestion that
the process is still going on; that some
of our old faculties are fading out or
are liable to do so, while it is possible
that we may evolve new ones IN time.
"So-calIed telepathy and clairvoyance
SEEM to DR.. Buckle "to be specimens ot
such nascent faculties" which, '.in q
few more millenniums," should produce
a race much superior to the present one.

was impressed into service as an ele-
walton upon which to stand while de-

with his subject, he soon became ex-
cited. Throwing his arms into the all

he exclaimed: "De righteous shall rise
and de wicked shall fall,' AT the word
"falp' he brought his foot down vehe-
mently upon the head of the hogshead
and like a fash 1t gave way. and he
