Secretary Chamberlain, of the British
Colonial Bureau, FaVOrs An Open
Mutual Understanding.
PERMANENT UNITY URGED.

In a speech made at Birmingham last
last Friday night Joseph Chamberlain,
Secretary of State for the colonies OF
Great Britain, openly advocated an alli-
ance with the United States, He began
his speech by deprecating the assertions
that the present ministry was "discred-
tied, weak and vaccillating."
IF foreign countries believe and act
upon these statements" he said, they
will find themselves much mistaken, and
that courteous diplomacy and graceful
concessions are not incompatible with
firm maintenance of the country's honor
and interests"
Then, declaring that he intended to
make plain statement of the facts, un-
fettered by the mysteries and reticence
of diplomacy OF half century ago,
which, without revealing secret negO-
tiOns, should be understood that he
would accept the judgment of thepeOple.' y
Mr.. Chamberlain said he would accept
the judgment of the people as willingly
al that OF the wisest diplOmatist in the
world. Referring to the policy of strict
isolation that England has pursued since
the Crimean war, he remarked that this
has been perfectly justifable," and
added:
"rhe time has arrived when Great
Britain may be confronted by cOmbi-
nation of powers, and our first duty,
therefore, is to draw all parts OF our
empire into close unity, and our next to
maintain the bonds of perfect unity with

There is a powerful and generous ma

language bred of our race and having
identical interests with ours. would
g) so far as to say that, terrible as war
may be, even war itself would be cheap
ly purchased if in great and noble
cause the stars and stripes and the union
jack should wave together over an Anglo
Saxon alliance. prolonged cheers.)
"It is one of the most satisfactory re-
suits Of Lord Salisbury's policy that at
the present time these two great ma
items understand each other better than
they have ever done since over a century
ago they were separated by blunder of
the British government" D."
Mr. Chamberlain proceeded to draw a
gloomy picture of the situation in China,
where we have to count with Russia
as in Afghanistan, except we do not
possess an army or a defensive frontier
in China and cannot therefore injure
Russia without an ally. The fate of the
whole Chinese empire is involved and
our interests are so enormous that no
more vital question was ever presented
for decision to the British nation and
British government. Unless the fate OF
China is to be decided without England's
voice, we must not reject the idea of an
alliance with those powers whose in
terests are similar to ours"

tracts under circumstances which call
for unlimited explanations.
2. That $225 was paid out of the Gov
ernors contingent fund for checking up
the State Treasurer's Office and that sew
eral of the men employed and paid for
this work were already on the State
payroll, thus drawing two salaries for
the time occupied in the transfer of the
Treasurer's Office.
3. That several hundred dollars were
paid out OF the Governors contingent
fund for services and supplies for the
month of December, 1894, In connection
with the Governors private business
All of the service was performed and
the supplies were furnished before the
Governor was inaugurated and while
another was filling the duties Of that
Office. This money, with the exception
Of about $65, was returned to the treas
ury after the public became apprised Of
the facts.
4. That an estimate by the State ar
chitect Of $3,775 for getting the State
house ready for permanent improve
ments was submitted to the Executive
Council and that body directed the ar
chitect to do such work bydayl labor. That
the architect gave the job to a firm Of
contractors to whom $1,52S.O7 was paid
The Advocate and news., 1898-03-23

and that afterwards S1,5S2.9S was paid,
after which the council let a contract
to the same firm to complete the work
for $3,337, which amount was also paid,
making the total expense for this work
$6,448, Notwithstanding the architects
original estimate Of $3,775.
s. That at the first consideration Of
bids for State house work there were ten
bids; that combination of certain bids
would deprive the firm of contractors
above referred to Of this contract; that
one OF said firm and prominent Repub-
Hcan politician offered bidder for part
of the work $500 IL he would withdraw his
bid Of S6,132 for the plaStering; that
such withdrawal was effected and the
menacing combination was thereby re-
moved; that the council rejected all
bids for the reason that proper advertise
ment, which was not required, had not
been made; that subsequently the firm
of contractors referred to offered the
plastering contractor the contract for his
part of the work at 81 1900 in excess Of
his original bid II he would refrain from
bidding and from furnishing figures to
other bidders; THAI this hrm got the
plastering contract for $4,000 which was

BIG MONEY FOR CONTRACTORS.

There were times when some people
took the last State administration Sc
riously and regarded 1t as a safe, honest
one, but that day has long since passed
by. Even before the officers connected
with it had given up possession Of the
records it began to be known to many
that there were numerous deals con-
nected with it which would require
pretty thorough explanation to lead
those apprised of the facts to believe that
the conduct of certain of the officers
was honest and honorable. Some time
after the inauguration Of the new
administration, which the people
elected to rid themselves Of its
predecessors which had failed to main
tain their confidence, steps were taken to
ascertain whether the charges which had
been made were we'll founded. A COM
mittee was named by the Executive
Council to examine the records and re-
port as to the showing made by them.
This committee carefully examined all
bids, contracts, specifications, vouchers
and public work done with a view to as
certaining the exact facts. It's report
shows a long series of misappropria-
tion of State funds beginning with the
early days of the Morrill, administration
and ending with the last hour of Off
cial life. A peculiar fact developed with
reference to contracts for public work.
1t was that without exception they all
went to one firm, where the work was
Of character which this firm could
handle to advantage, regardless Of the
fact that many other bids were sub
mitted, some of which were lower and
better for the State. The regularity
with which public work went to this firm
might lead to the suspicion that special
advantages accrued to those charged
with the letting of contracts when they
went to this partnership. The abstract
Of the findings Of this committee, which
is part Of this article, contains infor-
nation which will enable the reader to
judge whether this suspicion was just
or unjust to the parties concerned. An
examination Of this abstract may assist
readers in reaching reasonable conclu-
sion as to why the State house has cost
so much money and why the immense
amount expended has not been sufficient
to complete it.
In this issue the Advocate and News
simply submits an abstract of the find
ing of this committee. In later issues It
is expected that each item will be taken
up and details and proof will be given.
The findings show, in substance, the fol-
lowing statemnets:
/. That the Legislature of 1895, in
abolishing the Board OF Public Works
and placing the letting of State house
contracts in the hands of the Executive
Council, opened the way for abuses of
all sorts in the capitol improvements
Under the old law, the Board of Public
Works was required to advertise for bids
for all contracts In excess Of 81 900, but
no such provisions applied to contracts
let by the Executive Council. Other
safeguards, which were provided for the
regulation of the business of the board,
do not apply to the council and the way
