The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1900-10-27

Editor Grenadian:
You are quite correct in stating, ''If
the board of contracts can by any means
favor the newspaper publishers and
printers who do business within the
State, then it is its duty to, and we be-
lieve 1t will do so." And the board fully
understands that ''it was the law and
not the board Of contracts" you found
fault with.
lam sure the publishers of the State,
without exception, are of opinion that
it is the desire of the present members
of the board of public contracts to have
all printing done within the State.
Forty years experience as Mississippi
publisher intensified that desire, and
experience Of the last four years has
esta blished 1t as . conviction that all
printing required by the State or the
counties should be, and can be, done
within the State.
So far as the State printing Is con-
cerned the board has very little If any
discretion. The constitution says that
the printing shall be let to "the lowest
responsible bidder;" and section 32s2 OF
the code directs that bids shall be in.
vited from 'at least ten frst-class print.
ing and binding establishments. There
are two or three binderies in the State.
And the next section says, Where bid:
are equal, freight and express charges
considered, preference shall be given te
bona fide residents of the State actually
engaged in the printing business.
Freight and express charges cut no fig
ure in bid, as the law and contract.
provide that all charges to jackson
shall be paid by the contractor.
This writer prepared bill which wa
submitted to the last legislature, giving
the board more latitude than is nov
allowed. but the house approved onl.
one proposition; that the contract
should be for four years instead of two
So that on the FIRST Monday in August
1901, the printing will be let for fou
years ito the lowest responsible bid
DER" and bids will be invited from Al
publishers in the State and from "a
least ten different first-class printin
and binding establishments"
As the contract is to bo for so long
period, and the work required will se
gregate about $4,000, it IL hoped tina
home, bidders will get all Ave classes @
the work. In this connection ma
state that it quite probable the pr
sent contract will be declared forfeite
and that bids will be invited for tn
printing of the department reports fe
the biennial period Of 19oo-1so1. Thes
reports,must be on the desks of member
of the legislature when they meet
January, 1901; and the work will be Il
4 to one or more offices to insure their b
l ing ready. Yours very truly,

PLUMBING INSPECTION.

Editor Advertiser:-I notice the good
work you have done in reference to
plumbing matters, but / want to call
your attention to a most important mat
ter In this respect. You know how inn
portant II is to have good plumbing work
done in our homes: the health of the city
depends upon 1t. Now from the very best
authority / have II that the new plumb
ing inspector, Mr.. Moore, Is not capable
of filling this office, as he never has had
one days experience in this line and does
not know anything about 1t.
Some grave error has been committed
somewhere. it's not even probable that
the Board OF Health would appoint such
n man to such position IL they knew his
unfitness for IL.
Kindly look into this matter and give
an interested public your Investigations of
Il: IL it's true, he should give place to a
man who does know: II it's not true no
one is hurt by the investigation.
Yours,
w. T. WILSON.
The Board of Health acted on the
principle laid down by Mr.. Wilson in
the appointment of Mr.. Duffy. whereat
the plumbers of the trust laughed and
waxed fat at the expense of the public.
After this experience the board con-
cluded that the wisest plan would be
zen OF enough practical experience in
engineering to make him a judge of
good work in the plumbing line, yet
one who had no afiliation with the
plumbing trade itself. This Was done
and a chorus OF protests from the
members of the trust showed that the
board had made no mistake.
II does not do to put a member of
any given trade in a place where he is
expected to protect the public from
the tricks of that trade. His esprit du
corps leads him to stand by his mates.
AS for plumbing. it's principles ought
to be understood by any good engineer
\ and they are by Mr.. Duffy's successor
J 1t would not need carpenter to pass
upon the squareness Of a box or a
cooper to determine the value of a bar
rel; nor does 1t require plumber to
say whether a job of plumbing answers
to the specifications. In very many in
stances householder can tell that for
himself.

CHAFFEE CONFIRMS THE NEWS.
Empress Dowager Detained Within the
Forbidden City.

Empress Dowager Detained Within the
Forbidden City.
From General Chaffee Sunday the
war department received official con-
tirmation of the fall of Pekin and the
rescue OF the besieged legationers.
The dispatch Of the American COM
mander was not long and contained
few details, but the unconc ealel sat-
isfaction with which it was received
by the officials at Washington indi-
Gated clearly the anxiety that has
been lengendered by his prolonged
silence.
A cablegram from Admiral Remey
contains some important information
not mentioned by General Chaffee.
He makes the startling statement,
on japanese authority, that the in
ner city of Pekin was being bombarded
by the allied forces Admiral Remey
says, also, that the Dowsger Duchess
is detainsd in the inner city by Prince
Yungedo.
Advices received from the foreign
office at Toxic, Japan, by the Japan
csc legation in Washington confirm
and amplify previous accounts of the
capture OF Pekin By the allied troops.
Following is the text of the dis
patch from General Chaffee:
''PEKIN-We entered legation
grounds at O. clock last night with
Fourteenth and light artillery. Eight
wounded during the day fighting;
otherwise all well.

WORSE THAN SAVAGES.

Cruel Treatment of a Negro Charged
With Incendiary Language.
Jim Strickland, a negro living in
Henry county, Georgia, was taken
out by crowd and given $50 la she's
on the bare back, and then shot once
in the arm, twice in the thigh and
once in the leg.
1t is stated that Strickland has
been using highly incendiary talk,
saying what he would do if white
man crossed his path, and has been
regarded as a frebrand in the COM
munity. He had been repeatedly
warned to modify his language and
actions, but these warnings had no
effect. The mob went about its work
quietly, but effectively. After they
had finished with the unfortunate
wretch, he was taken to negro
house and his injuries attended to,
1t is not thought that he will die.

To AsSASs|NATE M'K|NLEY
Fourteen Foreign Anarchists Arrested
in New York.
THE SCHEME WIS HATGHED IN NAPLES
Lots Were Drawn to See Who Should
Assassinate the President-Eleven
Italians and Three Austrians
Were Selected.

The New YORK World prints the
following relative to the news re-
celved from Washington Of the deten-
ton at the barge Office in New York
by secret service agents OF Notable
Maresca and Michil Weida, supposed
anarchists, who arrived Saturday on
the Kaiser Wilhelm II. These two
men are understood to have come to
this country as conspirat ors, whose
object, it is alleged, was the assassi-
nation of President Mckinley. The
Evening World says;
Instead of two, a high govern
ment official informed the Evening
World that there are fourteen an
archists under arrest at the detention
prison at the Bureau Of immigration.
They are all charged with being in
conspiracy to assassinate President
Mckinley, and have been taken singly
and in pairs from incoming ocean
liners within the last ten days.
Omitted States secret service agents
learn that an anarchist circle in Ma
pies had cast lots who should be the
assassin. Eleven Italians and three
Austrians were selected. Closely
followed, they sailed for different
ports. Their object was to strike in
dividual blows at the president at the
same time. That as fast as the men
arrived secret service agents dis
guised as emigrants went among
them and they were arrested. Mar
esca and Weida, caught Saturday,
were two of the fourteen.
1.-The conspiracy was made on q
night early in August. By working
with the Italian police the secret SER
vice agents got wind OF a great meet
ing of the circle in Naples. The men
selected for the work Of assassination
in this country were quickly notified
what they were to do and separated,
going singly or in pairs to different
ports in Europe. Some went to
France, others to Germany, while
still others crossed the channel to
England. Step by step they were
followed to the gang planks Of the
steamers.
1.-The fourteen are now detained by
the immigration authorities, and are
either at the barge Office at the bat
terry or the detention quarters at
quaran tine"
Local secret service agents said
that adyices had been received from
the Italian government to the effect
that Notable Maresca and Michil
Wcida, two of the fourteen Italians
detained at the barge office, are
wanted by the Naples authorities in
Italy, 1t is understood here that
they are charged with completely in
the recent plot to assassinate the late
King Humbert. All otthe American
secret service men unite in denying
that any of the fourteen Italians de-
tanned are accused of plotting against
the life of President Mckinley.
