 The political fight for purity in the city of Philadelphia has scarcely more than begun; the victory has not been due as much to the efforts of one man as to the spirit of its fullblooded Ameri- can citizens and before we are through this city will be so clean that an un- scrupulous politician will be able to find no place here to operate and certainly we hope. to completely drive them out

A BIG CONTRACT.
Government Will Buy Nine Million
 Rounds of CnrtrSdneH.


 Rounds of Cartridges.
 Washington. Jupa s?.-~A contract for 9,o00,000 roundS of pail cartridges of calibre 80 was awarded today by Act ing Secretary Oliver of the War Der partment, the contract being divided equally between the Winchester Re- peatirg Arms Company. The Union Me- tall.s Cartridge Company and the U. s Cartridge Company. Tho sid of the Blake Rife Company was withdrawn by that company upon suggestion of the Department that it's policy was not to make an award where the establishment of a plant was con- tingent upon the fulfillment of the con tract.
 The bid of the three companies among whom the contract is divided was Identical in every particular, tho price of each being $42.5O per 1000 rounds. The bid of the Blake Company, which was withdrawn, was $33 per 1,O0a. In making the award General Crozier, Chief of Ordnance, said that there was no competition in either the price, the time of delivery or any of the other elements of the proposals" This com ment referred to the bids of the three successful companies The price at which this ammunition is manufac- tured at the Frankfort Arsenal Ca Gov ernment arsenaD, General Crozier says, ''is $30 per 1000 rounds, which in- cludes material and labor, light, heat, power, part of the deterioration Of the plant and part of the cost of superin- tendence; that is, it includes all that must be paid from appropriations for the manufacturer of the ammunition from which appropriations the purchas- ed ammunition must also be paid for. The Frankfort Arsenal price, however does not include any charge for inter- est upon the value of the plant, losses by fire or the pay of officers and en- listed men connected with the manu- fracture; but the addition of 25 per cent to the arsenal price would considerably more than cover all the charges which the private manufacturer must take in to consideration except profit.
 Although the price bid is very high and the establishments having plants have not chosen to compete with each other, I nevertheless consider it desir- able that private plants shall be pre-.
