ditions, to brag about how much money
has been saved. Luckily in Wake coun-
ty the Populists elected an honest man
as county treasurer, a man who be-
lieves that a public office is public
trust" and that the taxpayers have a
right "to take look at the books" In
some other counties the treasurer, like
the superintendent of the penitentiary.
commissioner of agriculture, and other
unfit officials, refuse to let Taxpayers
see the books. In such counties. the
false claims may not be exposed until
the people rise up in their might and
drive from power the unfaithful public

When the true men of the State take

BIDS FOR BATTLESHIPS.
Newport News VIII Get Contract for
One Vessel.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., September r.
The Navy Department has arrived at
what II regards as a fair and sausfac-
tory settlement Of the question OF award
ing the contracts for the construction Of
the three proposed battleships. When the
bids were opened 1t was found that for
the fast ships desired the Newport News
Company was the lowest bidder, Cramp
next, the Union Iron-Words just above,
and all within the limit Of cost fixed by
Congress. 1t was the original plan TO
award the contracts in that order. but
upon examination Of the plans submit
ted by the bidders, II was found that the
only thoroughly satisfactory one was that
submitted by Cramp, who had simply
taken the alternative plans suggested by
the Navy Department, which amounted
to frightening the hull OF the ships from
Is TO 20 feet in order to gain room for
the more powerful engines required to
drive the ship at a speed Of 81 knots,
instead Of sc knots, as at first proposed.
After considering the subject In all its
aspects, the Board OF Naval Bureau Chiefs
has hit upon a solution OF the question.
They have invited the Newport News
Company and the Union Iron-Works to
amend their plans so as to make their
ships identical with the one proposed by
Cramp Mr.. Scott, of the California COM
pany, has agreed to do this, and the rep
resentative Of the Newport News Com
pany has verbally agreed to do the same,
so it is the understanding that each or
the companies will be given contract for
one ship.
