.01,0 ABGITMKNTB Wl*U A NKW APPLIOATIU*
The Times this year has tho contract to
do “all" the City Printing. The Times
this year Is not getting “all” the City
printing, hut advertisements from tho
City Clerk’s Office are given alike to the
Enquirer and the 'Times. The proprietor*
of the Timms secured this contract only by
bidding lower for It than anybody else did;
and whatever benefit, direct or indirect,
that attaches *0 this work, belongs to
them—and, following the exaroplo Bet by
the Bku/uirer last year, they claim It. They
put in a very low bid, for the purpose of
getting the work; for they had no reason
to believe that they would got one partirU
of It, if they failed to get tho contract.
Indeed, they had every reason to believe'
that they would not get one particle of It
ir the contract had boen awarded to tho
Enquirer. Last year the City Officers pdt
somo advertisements In tho Times, which
It was thought best to have In both pa
pers; but the Enquirer protested so earn
estly to the Aldermen In person, as well
as In its columns, that tho officers did so
no more, afterwards.
The "exclusive" right to do all tho City
Publishing was set forth In terms and In
arguments, that wo are savod the labor of
preparing, by appending to thoso remarks
a few articles cut from the Enquirer of last
year, when dealing with this subject.
We commend the articles to the City
Council and lte Officers as applicable to
the present oaea:
July 9th, 1870.]
SOMETHING FOR THE CITV COUNCIL TO
THINK ABOUT.
We desire to call the attention of Coun
cil to one fact, which is a serious expense
to the city. In this, we d<> not wish to be
regarded as finding fault with any one.
for we really do not know whose it Js, and
we really think It comes from a miscon
ception. Every year Council advertises
for proposals to do the printing,and gives
it to that paper making the lowest offer.
Now, propitetors bid low, not so much
because they desire the work or the
money, but because it somewhat adds to
tho circulation of a paper to be regarded
as the official journal of the city. Every
lirst-clase paper, or that makes any pre
tentions thereto, will report the proceed
ings of Council. Then, in what does the
value of being the official journal consist ?
It ought to be In this that all tbe public
city advertising oi any character should
appear in its columns alone. Take any
year for instance. If all the ordinances
and notices were iuserted in one paper,
would not that be an inducement for every
city man to take it? The city gets its ad
vertising wide-spread and at the contract
price. When it is put in other papers,
bids swell heavily, and really the other
journal, in a place llko Columbus, would
receive more money than tho official
guzeite secures. 'This is apparent, aud is
it not very specious reasoning to say tho
city requires publication in both papers
to reacli the eye of the public, when
the one that has tho contract has
by lar the largest circulation and
of oouise Is read by a greater num
ber of people? According to the ratio
of this year's business, the other paper in
Columbus will get more money for city
advertising than the Enquirer-Sun which
secured the contract on the lowest bid.
As we remarked In the beginning we are
blaming no one and desire no newspaper
uai'ils, but write thus to call the attention
of Council, and especially the Finance
Committee to some laots on whioh proba
bly they had not rellected. It would
seem that the printing bills, outside the
oontract, will tie veryneavy, and the guod
accomplished by tho Increased price Ir
yet to be discovered.
July Uth 1171,1
THE SUBJECT OF lOTY FAINTING.
To show that wo are right in the view
we oopy the official proposal:
“For publishing proceedings of Counoil,
officially if required, or full synopsis or
report of same. Also any and all adver
tisements portaining to municipal affairs
by tlic Mayoror committoe or officers of
Council, ipeluding clerk, treasurer, iar
ahal (sales, Ac.) and Chief Engineer Fire
Department. Also any advertisement by
commissioners of commons.”
This, it will be noted, covers overy
grade of printing. We suppose it was in
tended in a spirit of economy, for it is
more general in its provisions than any
proposition over before made. It Council
now goes outsi<l<\ and publishes in other
papers besides the one owned by the city
printer, who obtained the contract by
bidding lower than any one else, It is a
waste of the poonlo’s money, for which
those spending will bo held accountable.
It may be said it has been the custom
heretofore to publish in other papers.
True, bat not ordinances—only the most
important tax notices, eto. Tills year the
proposal was more particular than ever.
It includes items which previously the
public printer was allowed to charge for.
The bid embraces everything, of printing
that can be done outside of a jobbing of
fice. Ho officer can with propriety insert
a public notice in other than the paper of
the public printer without infringing on
the latter’s rights. The principle on
which the proposal was founded is econo
my, the bidders bid for the exclusive priv
ilege of inserting city notioes. and giving
the same elsewhere and paying for it is
not economy, but the very opposite, and
also impairing tho privileges of another.
July 11, 1H78.1
ABOUT CITY PRINTING.
The Times again presents an issue most
unfairly. It Is amusing to see how that
paper endeavors to cover the question
with generalities and seeming precedents
so as to deceive the public and to deceive
Itself. Previous years are no guides when
the very essence of the proposals are
changed. We have published the council
proposals. It was for all the printing.
There were no allowances. Council un
derstood it was to cover everything. Tho
parties bidding understood it was for the
exclusive right, and so made their offers.
The Times made a sealed bid; so did the
tSnquiretr-Bttn. Having tho lowest, only
$125, this paper received the ooutraoc.
We simply now demand that tho contract
on the part of the City Council shuli be
maintained, and that if there Imi any dis
tinction, advantage or merit, belonging to
the offleeof public printer, wo are entitled
exclusively to It, for we have obtained it by
fair open competition. It is a pure busi
ness transaction, with which editorial
courtesy has nothing to do. Council
holds tho same view. Economy was the
object. The printing is now being done
by us $175 cheaper than the Times did it
last year. Then we asked nothing from
tho authorities. What was sent was vol
untary, and we did not reoolve a single
ordinance, our entire bill for the year
was $38.25. The Times’ bill already for
six months, according to its own admis
sion, is over S4O. lbt apaper might as
well ask for our telegrams as the officers
of the city for city printing under tho
circumstances and nature of the bid oflast
December. When we have paid for a
tiling it is ours, and no one else has au
interest, profit or partnership therein.
The whole objections of the Times shows
itself ip chagrin at being defeated in ob
taining tho office we now hold. Tho city
printing according to our contract, will
amount to $125 a year. Aeoordlng to the
Times’ own figures and charges, over S4O
for six months—that paper desires it in
creased at least. SBO more. Wo simply
object, unless we receive corresponding
benefit. That Is not in accordance with
proposals or contract granted. We sim
ply object to being taxed for the support
of another newspaper, and demand our
acknowledged rights. That’s tho whole
matter. The Times has not made Itself
out a martyr because of it.
July 16 1876.)
“STILL IIAUriNG ON MY DAUGHTER. ’’
Tho Times still misrepresents the sit
uation. It cannot see the force of the
word "all" In the Council proposal. We
close tho matter so far as we are concern
ed, as Council has agreed with our posi
tion and all we claim Is granted. No
more wonts are necessary.

A Fire In Utah.
• Friday morning at about a quarter to
3 o’clock the alarm bail Bounded, waking
up several sleepy firemen, who hurried In
the direction of the noise and fire, tills
they found In Utah on thn Womackville
road. The two houses occupied by Fetor
Brown and John Jones, eolorud shoe
makers, were In full blaze when they
reached there, but beudlng all their ener
gies to savo tho surrounding dwellings
they worked on for nnarly half an hour,
when the Gas Extinguisher came up, from
which one cylinder only was discharged
ind tho lighted scene became Instantly
dark.
The extinguisher catno up not a mo
ment too soon, for the firemen were Just
giving the third house up for lost, and
which would have necessitated also the
giving up to destruction of many others
which warn closely adjoining, when It
arrived. One of tho houses belonged to
Jno. Jones, colored, and was Insured with
Dr. Turner. The other belonged to Peter
Brown, colorod, and was not Insured.
Both were bouses of small value, and
wore nearly directly opposite the houses
recently burned, while oocuplcd by Dr.
Blount and others. As usual, suspicions
of Incendiarism Is felt by some of the
losers. Some picture dealers are said to
have had some of their wares storod In the
house In which tho fire originated, until
yesterday. It is thought that they got
out and hauled away most, If not nil their
goods, one or two days boforo tho lire.

ST. LOUIS GLOBE-DEMOCRAT.
PEOSPECTUS FOR 1877.
The Favorite and Leading Newspaper
of the West.
Daily, Tri-Weekly, Semi-Weekly and
Weekly.
THE success of the GLOBE DEMOCRAT , allies
tha consolidation ot which it is in fact and in
name the product, has been such as to excite
universal comment. Its circulation has steadi
ly increased since its first issue, and its general
business prosperity has k pt pace with its circu
lation. Thus encouraged, its proprietors are de
termined that in the future no effort will be
spared to keep it in the front rank of journal
ism.
Politically, the GLOBE-DEMOCRAT is a sup
porter of the measures of the Republican party,
believing that organization to he best adapted
by its principles and policies to perpetuate our
form of government, and to secure its adminis
tration in a maimer best calculated to pYcntots
the good of the country.
The popular demand is not only for an organ
of opinion, but for a history of the times
something that will come fully up to the poet's
idea of
A map of busy life,
Its flu taatious and its vast concerns.
In this respect we claim for the GLOBE-DEM
OCRAT a reputation second to that of no journal
in|the West, yielding to no rival in our efforts to
obtain the news,and to present the same in an at
tractive shape.
Our aim is to publish a newspaper adapted to
tho wants, tastes and interests of the people of
the Mississippi Valley. To this end we pay es
pecial attention to events happening in Missouri
and the adjoining States—to watch their prog
ress. and to assist, in so far as we can, in their
development.
The Weekly Globe-Democrat,
Now an Enlarged Octavo of
FIFTY-SIX COLIM.VB,
is emphatically a paper for th# People—and es
sentially a Family Newspaper. Containing as it
does a complete summary of the latest and of all
the important news from all parts oi the world;
a number of £ditor>als on current topics; a care
fully selected and interesting Miscellany; valua
ble matter tor the farmer, housewife, merchant
ftnd mechanic; the latest and most reliable Live
titoex and Crop Reports; a Financial and Com
mercial Columu—long known as complete, and
more reliable than that of any other paper pub
lished in the West; the especial at
tention always given to the progress and the
rapid devetopement of the resou’ cca of the Great
West, can not but make the WEEKLY-GLOBE
DEMOt/RAT a most welcome visitor to every
fireside.
