history made during the forty years?
Public sentiment is being shaped just by recent
events in the east and the pursued by the Rus
SLAMS in Manchura is hardly to America to
enthusiastic support.
Yet is would be a mistake to think that popular SYM
pathies are in any way influencing national politics.

and most conservative way amend state constitutions
is by new constitution wipng the instrument stand

Originally the state printing was done on con-
tract by the lowest bidder The expense including the
legislative journals supreme reports was
nominal one at very small in comparison to what
it is costing at present Somebody combination, de-
string additional graft the howl was set up that the
state printing was disgrace the paper being poor the
inferior the work horrible and the binding
shocking So amendment to the constitution was
passed. empowering the legislature to elect state
printer The first law under the new amendment was
compiled by special committee OF senate and house
members who practical printers, viz: W. H.

and all kinds that first law was to say the
least quite liberal not however until years atef
that fortunes regularly bieniay by each sue

And now the cinch alluded to by the
Herald which if permitted adopted, in holding the
state printer down a fixed salary, will provide him
with large grating tolling, commissions and the
