Why He Did Il.

Secretary Manning is proving in many
WAYS that he is fully equal tot require
ments OF his great office. The Republic
cans are watching him closely with the
hope OF finding him at fault. Thus far
their watching has been without salts
factory results.
Some time ago Senator Hale thought he
saw chance to make capital for the Re-
publican party with the workingmen. de
was informed that the contractors for the
Peoria, Ill.,, post Office were employing
convict labor He introduced resolu-
ton into the Senate demanding that the
Secretary inform the Senate why he had
let The contract to firm employing con-
Wet labor. The reply which Mr.. Hale
received a day or two ago doubtless salts
fies him that he would have acted more
wisely il be had sought the information he
desired at some other source and in less
conspicuous manner. Mr.. Manning's re-
ply was as follows: when the question
of letting this contract was before me l
was advised and obliged to hold that
under the present statutes OF
the United States 1 was not en-
powered 10 direct or dictate what means
the lowest bidder for a contract daily adj
vertised in accordance with law should
employ to fulfill the terms of the contract,
provided said means be lawful. ] found
that a statute Of the State of Illinois
authorized the employment by the con-
tractors in question Of convict labor. l
could not fod that any statute of the
United States authorized the rejection Of
bids made by men who employed such
labor. Consequently, in obedience to
what l deemed my duty under existing
statutes, l directed that the contract be
let to the lowest responsible bidder"
