LINCOLN NEWS AND GOSSIP A Fow Pointa of Interest Concern-« ing a Public Contract. DOINGS IN THE SUPREME COURT. A Slippery Colored Crook Works the Capital City the Tune of About $200--General Notes.

Bu From time imm human nature have by appar The a no no doals other d re srks county or ho touches pu and is put on the pay rolls of a state, the condition of affairs suddenly changes, and damaging commentary on human nature suddenly confronts us, There can be no wrong in beating a great state, 0 it sects he reasons, basing judgment on_the general class of work he turns out. Poor work has become o common on public con tracts that nobody cxpects aught else. During the day Tue Bee representat ook oceasion to examine the plans and spe ifications governing the work of Contractor John Lanham on the capitol grounds. To the ordinary cye everything scemingly indi cates that th work done and doing isof a high order of excellence, but when the eve isput to the work and the specifications, side by side, the discrepancy becomes so apparent a8 to become startling No one capable of judgmeat uvon things ordinary can fail sce tuat the dif- ferences between tiem s great as night is from day. The specifications aro on filo in the office of the commissioner of public lunds and buildings, and_can_be seen by anyone who cares to look into the matter. A perusal of the plans and specifications ¢ it plain that the architect contomplated an excellence of construction and perfection of flnish not even approached by Mr. Lanham's workinen. When it comes to a question of comparison the plans become very interest ing reading. They recite that all stone work is to be frec from biemishes.

The stipulations also show that the curbing ought to he four inches thick, and Taid ov six imches of sand, both sides to be well “rammed.”” These requirements have been grossly violated. Nothing has been done th pproximates this work, and yel, ui erything looks well It will possibly «d that Mr. Lanham took t cheap, and that he 1s doing ¢ood enough work for the money he gets. The fact, however, remains jusi the samc, that he contracted to do the work under stipulated plans and specifications, and to get the work underbid other contrae: tors 20,000, To save himself und come out ahead, if possible, he does or permits the work to be done in a slipshod manner, and the state is to suffer for his stupiaity and ignorance. Up to this date he has been paid on estimatos the sum of $10,455.06, or within £16,711.04 of what e he is 10 recéive when the work is pronounced finished “Che taxpayers of the state hi t to enter a protest against Lanham's receiving another dotlar of public money tor the class of work ho is doing. And the pertinent quiry is put squarely to the board of public lands and buildings: I8 it right to pay out stato funds on work or estimates that in no measurablo deg approximates the plans prescribed und agreed upon. Let it e understood, also, that the abortions powted out by Tur ke representative are by no means the worst features of the con- tract Lanham is rushing to completion. Gather the plans and compare the work side by side, and it will soon be discovered that the half has not been told A MATOGANY CHOOK. Last Sunday a well dressed colored woman alighted from the cvening Missouri Pacitic assenger train, a strangor in a strange land. he passed along the streots as proudly as a princess, but was soon lost sight of in the gathering darkness. Where she spent the night no one seems to know. Monday morn- g, however, she again appeared on the strécts, and inquired for work in different parts of the city. Her movements were all made ina modest, business-like way, and sho passed from mind almost as rapidly us sho was dismissed from place to place. No one suspicionca that she was prying for jewelry or_articles of value where went. " During the day Express Agent T wifo discovered thut her elegant gold watch, presented to her by her husband, was miss- ing. It suddenly dawned upon her that it had been stolen.” Other ladics reported arti cles of nominal value missing. And, stranger, whercver articles were missed shadowed by the presence of the nico looking colored woman a short time be- foro.

CURRENT LITERATURE, MeN AND Measures or Hane A CENTURY By Hugh McCulloch ' oc Price $4. Published by Charles Scribne Sons, New York A more disappointing book was never to the public]l We expeeted from Hugh McCulloch, because it scemed natural that & man who had been so excellent a secretary of the treasury should be also u man of sup- erior intellect, We had a right to be- lieve that & man who mingled terms of equality and intim: with the greatest men of the union in the most exciting period of the nation's life would have preserved some memorics that would have enl d and rounded our knowledge of them. We were justi- fied in assuming that in the ripeness of his faculties the hale and heavty sepluagenarian, ex-seer of the treasury, would give a volume bubbling over with the wine of true wisdom, the quintessence of great stores of ob- served facts and of matured deductions, Nothing is further from such great ox- pectations than the actual volume. 1t must be a failure from the pointof view of publication, because it is an inferior production, showing that outside of his banking operations Hugh McCulloch 5 below the av se man in intelleet- A grasp. *in his wonderful novels made a specialty of bankers, and vanked them very low, expressing h weneral view by the deckweation th men could comprehend what God thought of money by the hands in which he placed it. Hugh MeCul- loch unconsciously has verified [3ulz Th issome little interestin the b ginning of the work, which describes the Boston of 1 md the Indiana of 1883, If the author had compre! how little he had to say o the men whom Lincoln gathered around nimself that was new, or that was int esting, he wonld have made much mor of this part than he has done. In his connection with the state bank of Indi- ana, he could have shown to perfection the manner in which that institution helped to build up the state, and he could have explaumed thoroughly the real functions which banking should perform. He knows this to the red heart's redde: utinstead of telli us what all wish to know one can tell as well as he, he devotes the greater part of his book to com- mentavies of the public men of the Lincoln era, taken mostly from the pub- lic press with some faint additions of his own. Weare living at a time when there is a strong and widespread d satisfaction with the national banks based upon many things, but chiefly upon two. The first is that they have made themseives parties to the sale of railroad bonds issued in defiance of law, and in direct violation of the rights of stockholders, and have carried this to such a piteh of audacious contempt of public opinion, and disregard for public morality that they have become a seandal and a veproach to the Ameriean name. The second is that as by the very nature of their charters they must come to an end with the puyment of the national debt, the have formed an association to preventand delay its puy- and this has resulted in the ngup of a huge yearly surplus, much of which is sted in needless appropriations. Noone better than Hugh MeCulloch could in un incidental fashion have paved the way for a return to a state system of banking bused upon just such a bank as that with which he had so much to do. If he had gone into the de- tails of the work done by the branches, we might have found in & return to suelh bunking o remedy for those agricultural locusts in human’ form that cat up our western and northwestern farmers with ust These pests take advantage of the fact that the national banks do not eform the functions of agricultural ks, and the farmer who wishes to borrow money is compelled to have re- course to them, and they n him alive. Recently in Dakota a farmer who borrowed ~ #00 was compelled to give his note for $350, and to pay 1 per cent a month inter of loaning to furmers is one essentully connected with the prosperity of a sec- tion so absolutely agricultural as our own. The writer believes that the sta bank of Indiana, through its hranches, did such a business, but Hugh Mo~ Culloch has kept that fact to himsolf, Our pr national banks their funds to lonn to great railroad institu- tions, to float masses of railroad bonds, to brace up wheat speculators, ete., but they have no use for the business of the farming element. Like a certain old man who would be prating Verges McCulloch insists upou giving us his views as to the merits of the union generals during the war. Wo tremble at the thought that the Cen- tury magazine may engage him to write his aceount of famous battles from what he heard people suy about them who were there. And asif this were not enough to condemn his volume, he in- troduces his views upon the tariff, and seuts them in a preface.
