about the "value of space"
Space is one of those things,
the value of which arises from
it's limitations. Crusoe, on his
desert island, would have put
much store on a watch. Doubt
less he might have valued two
or three. But aside from any
prospect of being able to trans
port them to some place where
they could have been disposed
of, a carload would have been
of no more worth to him than
a half dozen. If space had any
value beyond the supply for a
reasonable demand some of
these big blanket sheets would
be issuing thousand page edi-
tions.
The News Tribune in sun
dry open letters to VIM. C.
White, attorney for the Civic
Federation, alleges with much
vehemence that there was a
scheme on foot to invalidate
the publication of the delin-
quent and forfeited tax lists,
by having them printed in a
non-legal newspaper.
The morning paper is very
vague and indefinite, it dares
no names, it makes no
direct statements that it could
be called upon in court to
prove. Itassumes a conspiracy
and tells of lawyer who is al
legged to have said "he would
cheerfully give a thousand dol
lars to be assured that the lists
would not be legally pub
lished." It also refers to
prominent member of the civic
federation interested in GER
tain land company in whose
domain is published the news
paper from which came bid
alleged to be the lowest" and
which would also profit by the
illegal publication of the lists
in question.

facts? Why does not the morn

per who will offer to do the same in some
daily or weekly newspaper, having not

than two inches in width, nor less than
seventeen inches in length, printed in
the English language, and of general
circulation, which shall have been pub
lished and circulated for at least three
months prior to the time of letting, for
the 107cest sum, not to exceed twelve
cents for each description, and who shall

vol 1, General Statutes of the State of
Minnesota
The labor world., 1898-01-08

The county commissioners
met Tuesday Afternoon for their
regular annual session. The
principle business before the
board was the letting of con-
tracts for the county printing
This has come to be quite an
item in county expenditures,
the tax list alone, it is said,
being nearly 10000 descrip-
tions, at the contract price OF
II cents description, amounts
to almost 1900. Besides the
tax list there is the commits
sioners proceedings and the
financial statement which will
bring the amount up pretty
close to $4,000. There were
six bidders and their figures
were as follows:
Official proceedings, per
folio: West Duluth Sun, 15c;
Labor World, 25c; Tribunal,
3712c; Eve1eth Star, 55c; Her.
aid, rs; News Tribune, 75c.

for three publications: Labor

Csc, 3Oc, 3Oc-$1.25; Herald, 75c,
Soc, 35c-$1. .45; News Tribune,
75c, 35c, 35c-$1.45.
Pamphlets: Herald, $50 free;
News Tribune, $50 free; Labor

West Duluth Sun, $15.
Delinquent and forfeited tax
sales, per description: West
Duluth Sun, 4Ac; Tribunal,
4.9c; Labor World, 7c; Eveleth
Star, &c; News Tribune, Tic;
Herald, lie.
It IS required by law that
such work be let to the lowest
bidder, but the commissioners
have no time or inclination to-
bother themselves about little
things like the law. Hence the
Herald was awarded the con-
tract for the financial state
ment and the News Tribune
given all the rest. The bond of
the News Tribune was fixed at
$4,000 and $500 and of the
Herald at $780,.
The request of the humane
society for an appropriation of
$25 per month was denied. The
bids for blanks, printed sta
tionery, court calendars, etc :,
were postponed to a future
meeting. The present officers
of the board were reelected
and no change was made in
the staff of official employees.
FIGURES TALK.
Last year the delinquent tax
list contained about $4,000 de-
scriptions, filling 10 pages of a
7-column newspaper. This
year there are estimated to be
$115,O00, or enough to fill about
100 pages. The bid on which
the contract has been awarded
was II cents per description.
The lowest bid was 4A cents;
but assuming that the argu-
ment is good which asserts
that the work cannot be done
at that figure, and taking as a
reasonable price the Labor
Worlds bid, behind which
was not only competent
printing plant assured of all
the facilities necessary for the
satisfactory execution of the

work and for the guarantee of
which was an offer to furnish
any bond that the commission
ers might require, let us see
how much the commissioners
have stolen from the people
with which to pay their po-
1itical debts. The difference is
4 cents per description. For
115,000 descriptions the steal
amounts to $4,000. We have
not figured up the other items
but altogether the amount can
not be less than 5000. The
county is too hard up to appro-
pirate $500 per year to so wor-
thy cause as the humane
society work; it can, however,
give $1,000 to pay political debts
and line the pockets of unfaith-
faithful public servants.
And all this robbery, now,
they would sanctify in the
name of the sacred cause of
organized labor. Let us see!
It will make 120 pages of Z
columns each; $40 columns,
and at 62s thousand ems per.
column, makes $500 thousand
ems. The piece scale on the
Mergentha1er machines is 1919
cents per thousand, but the
time scale by which the opera
tors on both dailies are paid,
enables the proprietors to get
their work done at from 20 to
40 per cent less. At 1919 cents
however, the printers of Duluth
will be paid for composition, all
other items costing the same,
whether in the office of a daily
newspaper or a weekly, only
$500. Suppose that you allow
the amount to be $1,000, after
all this grand stand play by the
newspaper combine on the
strength of union labor, home
labor, etc, out of the $4,000 or
$4,000 represented by the de-
linquent and forfeited tax list,
only 81 600 under any circum-
stances can possibly reach the
workingmen.
But suppose that the con-
tract had gone to The Labor
World, or any other of the
weekly newspapers that put in
bids? Remember that all the
items other than composition
that enter into the computa-
ton, such as makeup, press
work, superintendent, etc., so
far as concerns wages paid, are
no less for weekly newspapers
than for dailies. The differ
ence is all in the one item of
composition. These tax lists,
when set by hand are what
printers call "double price mat
ter" The scale for hand COM
position being 35 cents per
thousands ems, the composit-
or's for this work then would
receive 70 cents. The $500
thousand ems, then, if set by
hand, would result in the pay
ment to labor of$3, ,92O, ,as against
less than one-sixth that amount
when set on the machines.
The $1,000, then, is not all of
their profit. The L: Dor Worlds
bid was high enough to allow
a reasonable profit after paying
for labor, superintendent, rent,
interest, light, heat, power, cost
of the $4,000 bond, and all the
other items that enter into a

ago that they tried to send

The county records show
that the financiers closest to
the News Tribune are the men
invalidation of the delinquent
who would most profit by the
and forfeited tax sales. The
award to that paper of the pub
lication of such lists is in direct
violation of the law. Couldn't
a blind man see through that
combination?
The labor world., 1898-01-08

On the face of the returns the
News Tribune got about every
thing there was in sight of the
county printing and the Herald
got just what the morning pa
per didn't want. The situation
is not so bad as that. Undoubt-
edly the Herald man has more
than his match in the astute
proprietor of the News-Tribune,
but the similarity of their bids
is conclusive evidence to the
initiated that there was satis-
factory division of the spoils.
This talk about the weekly
newspapers that bid for the
county printing not being re-
sponsible is all rot. The only
test of responsibility is the
bond. When the commission
ers ignored bids like that of the
Labor World, behind which
was competent printing plant,
a type foundry and a surety
company, they were put on the
defensive. And in their case,
even the boldest lie we'll stuck
to, IS a better defense than the
truth.

business problem of that ma
ture. In addition to the reas-
enable profit figured in the Z
cent bid, however, the dailies
have the advantage of the
profit resulting from their su-
perior equipment, which in the
case composition alone, is the
difference between 1912 and 20
cents per thousand ems. We
will admit this difference to
be their Legitimate profit.
There is still the $1,000 differ
erence between the figures of
the Labor World and those of
the combine that is all steal.

civilly inquired Of Daphne, how Lady
Arabella was.
"She is WE'LL" responded Daphne
rather tartly, 1 thought; land as de-
voted to Captain Overton as ever. You
know Arabella ever liked him rather
more than he liked her." At which un-
generous speech, said one word:
"Fie!" and Daphne, coloring to the
roots of her hair. yet attempted to de-
fend herself.
II only tell you what all the world
says and so say my uncle and aunt.
Arabella could have married a dozen
times,-she is all of twenty-one, you
know,-and married very splendidIy
but she will not. Sir Peter RACES, and
swears that he will marry her off in
spite of herself; but Arabella is her own
mistress now, and laughs at Sir Peter"
And does she still play. cards?"
Daphne raised her eyes. 1t seemed to
give that otherwise sweet girl positive
pleasure to call over Lady Arabella' s
faults.
Yes" she said. Loo, lansquenet-
anything by which money can be lost
or won. Three times a week she goes
to the Duchess of Auchesters, where
play is high. We go there tonight; but
1 do not play"
1 had not thought there was so much
malice in Daphne, until that converse
ton.
l left my adieux for Lady Hawk
shaw, and repaired to the Admiralty,
where Sir Peter happened to be that
day. I explained that 1 should have
come to him at once, but for my in
ordinate wish to see Lady Hawkshaw;
and I found her looking at least twen-
years younger since we met last. At
which Sir Peter beamed on me with de-
light, and, believe, mentally deter
mined to give me a thousand pounds
additional, in his will.
I then stated my real business, which
was to get Giles Vernon EXCHANGED;
and Sir Peter, without a moments hes
itation, agreed to do all he could for
me.
One month from the time arrived in
London, I was on my way to Ports
mouth to meet Giles Vernon, who had
been brought over with batch of ex-
changed officers from France.
In that month, during which I had
lived continuously in Berkeley square,
things were so little changed, except
in one respect, which 1 shall mention
presently, that 1 could scarcely per-
suade myself that five years had
passed. Peter and Polly as Giles dis
respectfully called them, had not grown
a day older, and quarreled as vigor-
ously as ever Lady Arabella was then
her own mistress, although still living
under Sir Peters roof; but, as far as
could see, this spoiled child of nature
and fortune had always been her own
mistress.

leads to this duel. which was postponed

proves bloodless one. Giles becomes
madly in love with Arabella and swears
to win her, but the girl will look at none
but Overton. She tries in an underhand
way to prevent the duel, which is not
only not appreciated by Overton, but he
shows very plainly that he does not care
for her. The girls treatment of Richard
after his return effectively chills a secret
admiration of long standing, and he be-
gins to find much in Daphne to attract
him.

BEAUCHAMP AND BEECHAM
A College Hoax in Which an Eng
liShman Neatly Outwitted
a Yankee

When the present Lord Beauchamp
was at Christ Church, Oxford, there
was among his contemporary UNDER
graduates an American, who had a
good deal Of the habit of boast
ing. He was in consequence very often
made the butt Of practical jokes by his
fellow undergraduates. In one of these
hoaxes Lord Beauchanp, who was per-
sonally unacquainted with the Yankee
stranger, played a prominent though
nconscious part. By process of chaff
very common at the Universities, his
friend persuaded Mr.. Jefferson Brick
Gas he may be styled) that a certain
advertisement issued by a firm Of pill
manufacturers contained some obscure
insult to his nation, and it was his duty
to take it up.
why don't you write to Lord Beau-
champ" they said, drawing his atten-
tion to the fact, and demanding the
withdrawal of the notice?"
Lord Beauchamp!" cried the YAM
kee. why, you don't mean to say that
that lord owns them pills?"
"Why, of course; didn't you know
that? That's the way his family made
their money"
But he don't spell his name the
same way" objected Brick.
mo; that's snobbery, you know.
They changed the spelling to look as if
it were Norman, but he can't help pro-
nouncing it the old way" 'iH
AS Lord Beauchamp undoubtedly pro-
nounces his name as if it were spelt
Beecham," this seemed conclusive, and
so the Yankee wrote very dictatorial
and foolish letter to Lord Beauchamp,
on the subject of the harmless pill ad-
vertisement. To this he received by
way of reply his own letter returned,
and endorsed Evidently addressed to
me by error; but by that time the
story was all over the College, and Mr..
Brick was enlightened as to the nature
of his error amid a storm of guffaws
which would have completely crushed
a more sensitive man.

upon the assistance of Giles Vernon;
and on the very night the party left for
Scarborough, after a fearful farewell
between Daphne and me, 1 went to
Giles lodgings, to make a clean breast
of it,
Giles voice called me upstairs; and
when reached his room, there. spread
out on the bed, 1 saw a beautiful suit
of brown and silver.
do you see that?" cried Giles. THAT
| is my wedding suit. For it l spent fifty
of the last hundred pounds had in the
world, and it is to marry Lady Ara
bella Stormont that bought it"
| / thought he was crazy, but l SOON
perceived there was method in his mad
ness. He told me seriously enough
that he meant to carry off Lady Ara
bella Stormont from Scarborough.
| "But-but-she does not like you,"
said, hesitating and amazed.
1--WE will see about that, my lad," he
said, and then began to tell me of what
| he thought a great change in his favor
with Arabella. He put many trifling
things which I had not noted in such
light that under his eloquent persua-
sion 1 began to believe Lady Arabella
really might have a secret weakness
| for him, which pride prevented her
| from discovering. He had never failed
| to win any womans regard yet; and it
| had always seemed a miracle to me.
Richard Glynn, who had fallen under
his spell so many years ago, that any
| body could resist him. He wound up
his argument by saying:
"Trust me, there is something COM
pelling in the love I feel for Arabella.
Women are all alike, my boy. They
want master. Once put the bit in
their mouths, and they adore you for 1t.
Let me have the spirit to run away
with that adorable creature, and see
how quickly she will come to my call.
You will shortly see her clinging to me
| ike peaches to Southern WALL"
| He then began to tell me of his plans,
and in them he showed his usual
shrewdness and boldness. The trip to
Scarborough had put Scotland in his
head. He was likely to be sent to sea
any day, to be gone, perhaps, for years;
just the arguments I had used to my
self first and Daphne afterward.
When he had finished his tale, and
had told mine, Giles was in an ecstasy.
"Oh, you sly dog!" he shouted. $50
you are up to the same game"
I explained that I had not much to
fear. Daphne was undoubtedly fond Of
me, and Lady Hawkshaw being on our
side, and other reasons in our favor
all Of this fitted Giles case exactly.
And at last gave up, in sheer despair,
and agreed to Giles suggestion that we
should together carry off the two DAM
sells of our hearts; and then and there
we made our plans, sitting up until the
gray dawn came.
Oh, the madness Of it! the wildness
of it! But we were two daredevil and
happy -go-lucky ieutenants, without
the prudence of landsmen. We loved,
and we were liable at any moment to
be torn away for many years from the
idols of our hearts. Runaway mar
iages were common; and only the par
ents and guardians were offended in
those cases. and forgiveness generally
followed. We were about to commit a
great folly; but we thought we were
nobly sustaining the reputation of His
Majesty's ea-officers for spirit and
gallantry with the fair sex, and looked
not to the dreadful consequences Of our
desperate adventure.
