Explanatory.

There has been considerable comment
and some mud Singing going on among
whatcom County newspapers in regard
TO the letting Of the contract for the
county printing. Frequent reference has
been made to a proposition characteriz-
ed as a graft" and ''hold-up scheme.
but in some instances the publications
commenting upon the same have
been too cowardly to give the name of
the instigator, and so leaving room for
erroneous differences.
| frain from taking any part in the con-
troversy, believing that a newspa per 5
business is to serve its patrons with
the news, not to act as medium for
venting personal spite or washing dirty
linen. but in order that no miscon-
struction may be placed upon its si-
lence in regard to this matter, it deems
it necessary to say that the man pro-
posing the combination of publishers 10
force the county to pay high price for
its printing was J. W. Sheets, of the
Blaine Journal. who made his PROPOSE
ton to The Tribune as he did to vari-
Gus other papers of the county. The
editor and owner of The Tribune, who
has all his life opposed graft and graft
| ers. promptly turned the proposition of
Mr. Sheets down. and informed him that
he proposed to submit bid for the
county printing. This he did. offering
| fair and straightforward bid. willing
| to accept the contract at the price men,
| toned in his bid-willing to lose ii If
someone else offered lower price.

The Situation in a Nutshell.

The steam roller was put into tip
top working order when the republican
national committee opened its session at
Chicago last week, and kept steadily
at work grinding Taft delegates into
convention seats. The first three days
work of the committee resulted in the
seating of every Taft delegate involy-
ed in the contests considered

The California contest, when reached
on saturday. was laid over until yes
terday. 1t is claimed that the election
in that state under the primary law
did not conform to the rules of the ma
tional committee and that strict Ill
depreciation of the rules will bar the
delegation from taking part in the con-
yention California sends Roosevelt
delegation. In its selection the prima-
nv was the only means by which that
state could elect its delegates, and al
though there might be a technical ques-
ton as to its legality. that state should
not be deprived of its representation.

The Taft following, and especially the
steam roller brigade. has strenuously
attacked the primary elections. This
means of expression of the people S
preference is not to their liking, and
they have used every possible means to
defeat the will of the people, but the
country has had splendid denonstra-
ton of the efficacy of the primary, and
while the same may not yet be perfect
in detail and while the interest mani
tested in the same has not been as
great as its friends had expected, it

ul;ttee of the future. -

under considerable pressure during the
first few minutes.
Offerings. however, were very readily
absorbed and as soon as the market
showed tendency to steady there was a
renewal of active general buying and re-
ports of a very firm spot situation in the
south. Early sellers appeared to be-

around this level and caused moderate
reactions from the best in the late trad

issued before the opening, which placed
the yield at 1885,, 900 bales, including
linters, but the chief factor appeared to
be the reports of a continued active trade
demand and the bullish character of the
southern spot news.

Toward the middle of the morning the
market displayed surprising strength. The
