THE JAIL CELLS AGAIN.

THE OASIS had hoped to be allowed to give its readers a rest upon the jail cells business; but after he had left town, the Vidette last week published a cool and audacious screed from MT. Finch, the Pauly agent, which cannot be permitted to pass unanswered. The burden of the gentle mans communication is that the Pauly cell is so far superior to anything else that 1t is worth
 more. Now that will do to tell to the marines, and to some kinds of people; but to business men of experience, such as supervisors should be, the assertion is very
 tenuous. Let us examine the
 proposition little. Upon the
 witness stand MT. Finch admitted
 that the material of which the
 Pauly Go. makes its work (and he
 submitted sample) is not patented,
 is made by many different rolling mills throughout the United States,
 and can be bought in the open market by anybody. MT. Hoey, who testified that he had been twelve years employed in respon- sible positions in rolling mills, also testified that material of that kind costs et the mill twenty-eight dol lars per ton. MT. Finch testified that the jail cells contracted will weight twelve tons. That is three hundred and thirty-six dollars for the rolled, laminated bars of which the cells are made. Jos. Taylor maintains that freight from the factory to Nogales upon the twelve tons of jail cells material will not exceed two hundred and forty dol lars, making a total cost of five hundred and seventy-six dollars for the material laid down in Nogales. The contract price is thirty-five hundred and forty-fve dollars. De ,dueting the five hundred and sev-

ntife hundred ana S1xtV-nlne uOl- liars FOR wHArl For a patent locking device, for four patent water closets, four patent wash bowls, eight hunks, and putting the material together. Anybody knows that price is excessive. The Pauly locking devices are protected by letters patent. But other manu- lecturers of jail cells have likewise patented devices which MT. Taylor testified are just as good as the Pauly devices, if not better.
 Now the way that contract should have been let was to adver- tise for bids (the law says such ad- vertisement must be had) to set up in Nogales four jail cells, and to in- vite bidders to present with their competitive bids, specifications and models of their finished products, with working models of all their patented devices, and the prices for which everything would be fur nished complete. When the bids were considered and the specified tions and models examined by the board, each bidder would have been present. in person or by agent, and explained the merits of his cells, giving the board of supervisors chance for a choice, not only in prices, but in models, locking de- vices, etc. Then the board could have selected whichever seemed best. And THE OASIS will here venture the assertion that rnder such conditions as herein set forth MT. Finch's lid on behalf of the Pauly Co. would have been a great deal less than the amount for which the contract was let. But at any rate the law would have been compiled with, Taylor, Gebler, Hogan and others who wanted chance to bid would have had a hearing and the chance for criticism would have been closed
 But as it is MT. Finch, with two of the supervisors, seems deter mined to force the Pauly contract without giving Taylor or Gebler or an one else a chance to go upon record as bidders for the contract MT. Taylor and Mir. Gebler both say they can supply cells of the same material, with patent locking devices just as good, tor great deal less money. THE OASIS has m aintained, and still maintains, that Taylor and Gebler, and as many more as want, should have had chance to bid. It also main tains that the taxpayers should have chance to save such money as could be saved by making the Pauly Go. meet competition in bid ding as required by law. And that proposition in that form is now up to the taxpayers.
 In closing few words will be given MT. Finch's assertion that the Pauly Jail Cells Co. has made about four-ffths of all that kind of work in the United States. from which assertion he argues superior ity of the Pauly work. To the minds of right thinking people the superiority of their work consists in the smooth work of their agents, ~. AI< I1:..oL trLat :c ...l.o=o

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal.
/ submit a section of Mr.. William ].
Bryan's speech at indianapolis. Aug. S.
with slight verbal changes. The senti-
ment is not changed by the new applica-
ton. Mr.. Bryan has great sympathy for
the inhabitants of the Philippine islands,,
who nave never had the rights of American
citizens. Is ii presumption to think he
has the same interest i'm the colored peo-
pie of the South, who for over a quarter
of a century have had the lights (nominal-
ly) of citizens? The negro population of the
four Southern States Chose of Voting age
to be DISTINGUISHED by constitutional
~amendment) in 1890 was 2,556. 647. The re-
cent vote in the four States is to the
effect that they be DISTINGUISHED. The new
application of Bryan's speech would read:
1--WE have the right to demand of the
Democratic leaders a discussion of the
future status OF the negro. Is he TO be
a citizen or a subjects? Are We TO permit
to remain in the body polite eight or ten
millions of negroes, so different from us
i'm race and history that amalgamation is
impossible? Are they to share with us i'm
making the laws and shaping the destiny
of the Nation? No Democrat of prom
inence has been bold enough to advocate
such a proposition"
After the vote reducing the colored cit
liens of the four Southern States to the
condition I. the governed without repre-
sentation, Mr.. Bryan's poetry is quite
apropos:
Would we tread in the paths of tyranny,
Nor reckon the tyrant's cost?
Who taketh another's liberty
His freedom is also lost.
Would we win as the strong have ever
won,
Make ready TO pay the debt,
For the God who reigned over Babylon
Is the God who is reigning yet"
