handsome appellatiOn Of graft. That
the graft" is to the advantage Of the
State or the State institution instead Of
a dishonest official or individual citizen,
does not matter. The principle is the
same.
The predicament in which the people
Of Tallahassee find themselves is pecu-
liarly exasperating. The Legislature
said to them, in effect: 1--WE intend
building a mansion for our governors to
live in, but because this must be done
in your city, and will make a handsome
addition to its general appearance and
attractions, we propose to make you
pay considerable portion of the ex-
pense." There was not even the in
centive Of competition with other To-
calities-it was a clean, clear, deliber-
ate "hold-up."
And the Tampa Times makes the
following trite observations on the sub
ject;
Just exactly upon what rational or
business ground the people of Tallahas-
see were required to furnish the site to
the State free for one of it's buildings
does not appear, and there is some evi-
dent excnse for the inaction of the peo-
pie on this occasion. Just how they
would get their money back is no more
visible than the rightfulness of the de-
mand by the Legislature that they put
it up in the first place The appropria-
ton is large enough to permit the di-
version of the necessary money for the
site without rendering the executive
utterly homeless. A $50, 900 mansion
would probably be sufficient to keep
him out of the weather.

out during the past two years and COM
pare the printing with that done by G.
p. Dyke, Mr.. Oliver, c. H. Walton, j.
G. Collins and others years ago. The
State was much less able to pay for
printing ten, twenty and thirty years
ago than it is now, but when poor and
deeply in debt it got good and much
better work than now. No one was
ashamed of the quality either.
The Board Of State Institutions
should see TO it that all printing is 81
is used. If the board is not versed in
the requisites for good printing, it
should call in some practical manager
of such work or a printer of extensive
experience to aid the board in formulat-
ing specifications. There are plenty of
such men not interested in the biddeis
TO be had.

HOW THEY GRAFTED.

The recent indictments of the heads
and agents of packing concerns in
Chicago, members of the beef trust,
has directed public attention anew to
the infamous methods of these mOnu-
mental grafters. The Birmingham Age
Heralf of a recent date contained the
following details of their performances:
Although the packers and their chief
agents fled to Canada or to Europe, yet
the detectives succeeded in securing
evidence enough to base indictments
upon, and the seventeen indicted men
are now confronted by a government
determined to convict them. The i'm
dictments are of a sweeping nature,
covering every feature of the meat
combine. They show that the producer
Is victim of the meat trust as well as
the consumer. The trust was organized
to fleece both. The industry is monop-
olized at both ends up to the greed of
the allied companies.
The producer must sell, else his cat
tie will eat their heads off, and the con-
sumner must buy, else he will go hungry.
The consumer cannot hope TO secure
better prices, simply because the trust
names the prices regardless of ;condi-
tions, and the consumer cannot expect
relief because the same grasping COM
bine will not let prices fall. COMPETE
tion at both ends has been eliminated,
and the country is in the grasp of a
heartless combine-a combine that
Commissioner Garfield went out of his
way to exonerate. The verdict of the
federal grand jury is directed against
the officers of the beef trust, but Mr..
Garfield does not show up we'll in the
light of the indictments.
The government is entitled to great
credit for the manner in which it has
thus far executed it's great task. The
use of detectives who could outwit the
detectives of the trust laid the founda-
ton for the indictments. The first step
has been taken, and the hope is that
the administration will not rest until
the trust is smashed. If the work is
done thoroughly and efficiently the
country will be rid of the most baneful
trust of all.

SAD Printlna Contraets.
From the jacksonville Metropolis.

The time is fast approaching when
the Board of State Institutions will be
required to advertise for bids for the
execution Of the State printing for the
two years from October l, 1905, to
October l, 1907.
It is to be hoped that the work will
be done by some party or parties who
know how to do it, and that they win
be made to do it right, and not have
any such shabby work as has disgraced
the State the past two years. A prop
err price should be paid, and the con-
tractor be made TO give bond for faith
full performance Of his contract. II
should also be specified as to the quail
ity of material and workmanship as
well as time for completing certain
printing.
There is no good reason why the
State of Florida should not have as good
printing a. il procured by private indi-
viduals, or has been done for other
States. Florida has had it, and should
have il all the time.

aPERFECTLY SATISFACTORY.

There need be no doubt in any mind
of the fact that the people of Tallahas-
see are entirely satisfied with the re-
suits of the action of the joint educa-
tional boards in locating the Florida
Female College at Tallahassee, with
Prof. Prof A. A. Murphree at it's head,
to be assisted by faculty of his own
choosing.
Had there been insurmountable objec-
tions to the location of the University
at either of the two principal contes-
tants for the honor Tallahassee stood
ready, armed with unaswerable argu-
ments in support of its superior advan-
tages, to undertake the task of aiding
to build up University which should
be credit to the State and the boards.
The University having been located tenn
porarily at Lake City and permanently
at Gainesville, Tallahassee stood ready
to accept the responsibility for the up
building of the Florida Female College.
Sigularly enough, the attitude of the
capital city and it's representatives with
reference to the college location matter
has been almost precisely identical with
the procedure suggested by The True
Democrat In its issues of June 9 and l6
appeared articles strongly advocating
the location of the University at Talla-
hassee. In the issue of June % we
urged the citizens to assemble in mass
meeting and take the proper and neces-
sary steps to present our claims to the
boards, which meeting was held July
3rd. On the 3Oth of June we declared
that Tallahassee would be satisfied with
whatever disposition of the matter
should be made by the boards, being
certain of having either the University
or the Female College, preferably the
former" and this was precisely the
course of reasoning adopted by ITALIA
hassee's Representatives before the
boards,
