County Printing.

According to C.E. Seeley of Cho-

tween the county commissioners and
the Republican Times to the effect
that the Times was to get the work
regardless of bIds, Well now the
taxpayers are very APT to object to
undertakings that cost the county
some $500 per understand. One of
the commissioners SAID that work was
awarded to that paper as comph-
ment. Now that may be what they
were elected to do iasst pay eornpi
ments valued at two hundred dollars
or so but we are very sure the county
wanes to see very feW such compi

WHAT ONE FARMER THINKS.
And He only Reflects the General
Sentiment in the County.

From a representative farmer, The
TRIBUNE this week received the fol-
lowing communication, which but
voices the sentiments of the majority
of the farmers throughout the county.
Our correspondent says
"What rs the matter with the coun-
ty commissioners that they have to
weaken their intellects to such an ex-
tent as to bias their judgement and
SO warp their minds out of line that
they swerved from the path of duty?
They will find that the tax payers
are not to be ridden over in this man.
ner, BY their late action they have
caused the county needless expense
by letting the county printing and
the poor farm to partisan bidders for
political reasons. They agreed to
let the printing to the lowest bidder
and have not done so. We do not
want to call them unpleasant names,
but by what name under heavens
shall we call this mode of procedure?
There are dozens of men who would
take that fine farm and care for the
Door for the use of the farm and the
labor now given by the poor on the
farm free of any further expense to
the county. IT'S fpartisan politics
and nothing less
SIn the above our friend is wrong in
one particular, and that is in saying
that the commissioners agreed to give
the printing to the lowest bidder,
They agreed to guard public interests
when they went into Office, and so we
presumed that they would give the
printing to the lowest bidder, but
they were careful to make no such
statement. We approached one of
the commissioners and asked him if
the printing was to go to the lowest
bidder, but We're given only an eva
>sive answer to this simple question
to the effect E'naetst wait and see what
the others thought about it. ?.
The commissioners knew that the
Tammany organ could not get the;
yprinting if it were to go to the lowest
bidder and SO would not pledge them
selves to the siGnple business like pro-
lposition of letting it the lowest bid

ANECDOTES OF DEWEY.

Gunner Kuhlwein Tells Them and True or
Not They are Worth Reading.
There has been great deal of dis
cussion about the things Dewey said
at Manila, during the naval battle;
but, whatever his remarks may have
been, it is safe to assume that they
were forcible ones. Though a quiet
speaks out when there is occasion,
and his flow of language at such times
is described as lovely. Sailors do not
mind such things as rough talk so
much as they do having language ad-
dressed to them that they do not un-
derstand, when they know that it has
an uncomplimentary significance.
Most of all they dislike to be called
farmers. in irony. Well. it Is related
that on a day in 1885, when the Pensa-
cola Capt. Dewey in command, was in
the Mediterranean-she was then the
flag ship Of the European squadron
shift of wind accompanied by rapid
fall Of the barometer gave warning Of
changing weather. Presently a white
sQuall came UP and there was busy |
work for all hands, the executive Of
fcer in the waist, the officer of the
deck on the quarterback, and the
in the fo'castle believing
and repeating orders, while the sail
ors jumped through the tops like
monkeys just then something fouied
The clews Of the maintopsail, at the
very moment the squall struck, and
oungling for moment or two nearly
lost the vessel a spar. Dewey, from
he bridge, was looking on, and every
body was in tremulous anticipation Of
severe rebuke. But he only turned

This remark percolated through
the midshipmen to the crew, and, be-
| ing duly translated, it produced an ef~
feet from which the men did not res
cover for days.
This story seems too good not to be
true, but the writer refuses to be re-
sponsibBe for it. At Mobile Bay, after
the fall of New Orleans, Dewey was a
Junior watch officer on the steam
sloop Mississippi. The ships cook,
called in naval parlance the Doctors
was a superstitious old darkey, and
with an extreme dread Of sharks He
tried to convert Dewey to faith in
the danger of sharks, but Dewey held
out that they would never bite a hui
man being. This point was long in
controversy between them.
One day Dewey was sent ashore in
the ships dingey on some trifling duty.
He had on, as usual, frock coat with
very long tails, such as all naval OF
ficers wore in those days. In obed-
ience to orders, he hurried back, ths
sloop being on the point of getting
under weigh, and, as he sat in the
Stern of the skiff, his coat tails trail
ed in the water. just as the dingeY
was on the point of reaching the YES
sci, a shark rose to the surface-per-
haps attracted by the gilt buttons ON
the coat tails aforesaid and bit on
the starboard side of the lieutenant'S
after uniform.
Dewey jumped to his feet, and, well
satisfied under the circumstances 70
his coat tails, ran up the
side Of the ship The Doctor" who
had viewed the proceedings from the
'ail of the vessel, approached him
presently with a grin of the utmost
width
"Ah, hal" he said, taking advantage
# the familiarity customarily allowed

y, yo' b'lieve now dat sharks won't
