WHY BIDD WERE REJECTED.
A Letter From Hoa. W F Porter, Stc
reury of the Sute Printing Board.
The State Journal and some other
papers contained a long article attack
ing and criticising the state printing
board for its action in rejecting the bids
submitted for elate printing. Mr.
Torter ban given out the following letter
for publication which sets forth all the
facts in relation to the inattor.
Lincoln, Neb., June - 3, 1877.-To the
State Journal and others in Nebraska
Interested in the public printing: 1 no
tice in the columns of the Journal of
June 3 a criticism of the state printing
board in regard to the action of the
board at its meeting held in this office
onJunol.
In reply permit me to say that after
the board had advertised for bids many
inquiries came to this office from those
wishing to bid, making such inquiries
as this: "What do you regard as reason
able or necessary blank space in printing
the house and senate journals?" as it
will appear that the advertisement stip
ulated that unnecessary blank spaces
would not be allowed. After talking
the matter over with other members of
the board and with all the prinws who
came to this office, which includfd a rep
resentative of the State Journal, ns wll
as a number of others, including Mi.
Sedgwick of York and one or two Omaha
printers, we decided that the best way
to get this information to the various
bidders was to prepare sample pages of
the kind of work we wished to have,
showing the kind of type, spncing, etc.,
that was desired, as well us the quality
of paper. Every printer with whom we
conferred agreed that this would be the
most satisfactory way that the matter
could be settled, and It was only for the
purpose of enabling printers to bid In
telligently that this course was decided
upou.
Accordingly, when the printing board
met we eg reed that each bidder, as well
ns the other priuters in the state who
were not bidders, who should .lend to
this office for the same should be given
fine of these sample, giving them the
date on which the bills would be opened
end the only renson that the bids at
ready In were otsuied was tcnus the
oicstion of the legality of the action of
the board In rafting bids without r)rt
ojieulmt them mid rxamiuinlug the same.
The State Journal errs in Its state
luettt tbtt this letter requires bidder to
conform to the advertisement In the
mutter ol printing, as the lttr simply
referred the styh binding which
was siiecihVd in the previous advertise
tnrat lor the seioii laws and senate
and house journals.
The state printing board has no te;
neither has any one beea favored with
auv lt.toruie.Uoii as t what anyone's
bid has tu, nor will they be from this
uittee. The board has acted entirely
air end lis only rou lor rejecting I lis
bids and resubmitting the sample ass
to tns all partM fairiy and Rite all an
equal chnue In bid bus:, The lowest re
sponsible bidder, when the bids are
opened nst Saturday at W n'rloh, will
be awatded the eontrnrt, unlee It ap
ear that there la collusion imu( the
printers. All bidders who bad in their
bids and those who did not.cun resubmit
their bids with the positive assurance
that all will be given an equal chance at
the work, W. F. Pouter,
Secretary of Printing Hoard.
If the Journal cannot find something
to criticise that deserves criticism, it
would profit it better to keep
silent. The people have very little
confidence in its statements already, and
if it continues in its wilful and malicious
mis-representation, they will soon have
none at all.

Common Soda is alright in its place
and indispensible in the kitchen and for
cookingaud washing purposes, but it
was never intended for medicine, and
people who use it as such will some day
regret it.
We refer to the eotunion use of soda to
relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a
habit which thousands of people prac
tice almost daily, and one which is
fraught with danger; moreover the soda
only gives temporary relief and in the
end the stomach trouble gots worse and
worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irritant
to the walls of the stomach and bowels
and eases are on record where it accumu
lated in the intestines, causing death by
inflammation or peritonitis.
Dr. llarlandson recommends as the
safest and and surest cure for sour
stomach, (acid d.vspopaia), an excellent
preparation sold by druggists under the
name of Stuart's I)ysepsia Tablets.
These tablets are large, 20 grain lozen
ges, very pleasant to taste and contain
the natural acids, peptones and diges
tive elements essential to good digestion
and when taken oiler meuls they digest
the food jierfectly and promptly before
it has time to ferment, sour and poison
the blood and iiervous system.
lr. Weurth states that lie invariably
uses Stuart's Dycpsiti Tablets in all
cases of stomach drungemouts and
duds them a certalu curs not only for
stomach, but by promptly digesting
the food, they create a healthy appetite,
increase llesh and atrvug theu the action
ol the heart and liver. They are not a
cathartic, but luteiided only lor stomach
disease and weaknesses and will be
found reliable in any stomach trouble

tablets at 60 ceuts r package.

Feople are so apt to draw a decided
line between religious and worldly
wisdom that they lose sight of the
proved fact that the rule of conduot
which are given by the former to Its
followers have also a distinct worldly
value quite Independent of their psych
ic Influence; and yet those who have
attained middle age and are thereby
enabled to look hack and truce ef
fects and their causes In their own
lives and those of their friends and ac
quaintances see clearly that In most
cases the greater part of the unhapul
ness of life comes from the tares which
they have themselves planted. "As ye
sow, so shall ye renp,' tesches the
higher ethics. "He bus made his bed;
let blm llo In It," Is the world imrs-
phrase of the same Idea. "Honesty ts
the best policy" Is a nmxini that bus
