Show telegraphic TELEGRAPH IL new york nov 10 the world prints in a cable dispatch from lou lo 10 don the full text of joseph chamberlains criticism of american politics at the banquet of the glasgow corporation speaking of the possibility of at municipal institutions in great Brita iAL deteriorating mr chamberlain said 1 I am sometimes inclined to put IL a question of that sort when we think of ef the result of an election for local officers on the other side aide of the water there in the metropolis at all eve eventa ta the greatest city in the united st staler of america full of educated cultivated patriotic people we find according to american evidence that the government of nearly three millions at people has been handed over for foiw colw years to an institution whose object to avowedly to get the greatest amount of spoils that is a most terrible result ana aja it is worth inquiring whether such ft possibility exists in regard to our la Is and what are the principles we must hold if we desire to avoid such a result now the explanations given do not seem to me altogether satisfactory it is said that in new york there in id a mixed population but that is not sufficient to account for the state of things we are considering many of those are strangers to whom the united states is opening its arms with ae 09 much generosity welcoming them to the franchise perhaps a little before they are prepared for it and are not at all likely to lend themselves to anat anything in the nature of corrupt administration the germans especially za many of our large towns we have mixed populations therefore there to Is nothing sufficiently distinctive in that to justify us in coming to the conclusion that I 1 it is the cause of that great difficulty difficult then it is aid id that politics is introduced trod into merican american corporate we ute that is true but it requires some explanation in the ordinary sense of the word that would not in the least account for what we are discussing because polities does not enter in the usual sense into municipal elections la in any of the american cities this last election was conducted by an indea ind pendent political organization outside of the regular parties in t state it is believed the whole source of weakness lies in the system of administration rather than in anything called with it odside of political considerations and also in the public opinion which tolerates that system of administration 1 I believe that the causes of succeed of our system here and the failure of t the american system are to be found in the different ways in which we treat officials now by officials I 1 mean everybody employed by the corporation there are in the first place the higher offices when corporations Unde iuie such business as Is conducted by the great municipalities of england golo aal scotland their higher officials tare are tu the men In trusted with the management of t the departments with the control of teat great manufacturing concerns or col systems of finance they must be men 01 of I 1 special capacity a atad ab tilty elsewhere els else ethere there will be tatt ministration and great wasta wast of public money you must have you can afford to have haie the very best men in their respective capacities but to have such men three things are necessary the T must be irremovable except 3 fr for sorry ae gross and proved offense they mum mu u be selected for merit without regard lr to their political opinions they must be paid the market price for their services there is another danger which I 1 think even more serious than any want of fal fair consideration for the higher officials that is it if the higher officials may occasionally be paid less than the market wages there is great fear lest the lower officials should be paid more than the market value now that is a real danger 1 I agree that a corporation should behave as well as the most liberal vate employers but not one whit better because if it does behave better what it is doing is to create a privileged class of workmen to whom public office is itself a distinct advantage the iii inevitable evitable temptation to which certain american municipalities have fallen victim is to make these privileged posts reward for political service what happens then A man who gets a post of this kind thinks he has done all that ahalt which ought to be expected of him and the last thing he expects to do is to give fair value for the money he receives when you have observed posts of this kind going at the will of the people of a political party there naturally arises a demand for them and as the number of political posts will never equal the demand the next thing is to put two men to do the work of one now if yon yn consider for a mo moment ment I 1 the effect of this you will find I 1 firmly I 1 believe the whole secret of the failure of american local institutions 1 you will see that if we are ever so fo foolish oIsh as to abandon the business like honorable system upon which our public work is now conducted we may WI fail at last as our cousins have un fortu bately done simla nov 10 Off official leial dispatches received today from the british camp in the maidan valley tell of a nois sance in force by the british I 1 which resulted quite seriously xo to the government forces the movement was commanded by brigadier general wes acott and the british foree force consisted to yf f the dorset shire regiment the N Northampton hampton shire regiment a regiment of sikhs and two batteries of artillery this column moved yesterday to saran sar and reached the summit of the mountain With little resistance where it went into camp but soon after retired upon the matri main body this latter movement agis was attended wr by serious losses the insurgent tribesmen followed the column in strong force swarming from behind the rocks showing wonderful audacity and keeping up a heavy fire at short abort range upon the british troops only the admirable disposition made by general of his troops saved ohp rear guard the general personally held the men together and saw all the wounded taken away before he retired himself nabe an the way back to camp the transport of the wounded was greatly hampered hammered by the fact that the troops had to retire over fearfully broken county country surrounded on all sides by swarms of the skirmishers the route asp was intersected every hundred yards or r eo aoby by deep ravines and it was while the troops were engaged in passing through this ground that the tribesmen in i rushed upon them fearlessly making ng their way up the ravines to cope cloae quarters the northampton regiment suffered the most many being incurred while saving their wounded all the wounded reached camp about dark and it to is still hoped that the missing officer and twelve men will reach camp safely the loss of the british was about fifty men killed and wounded white rocks utah nov 9 cavanaugh and a detachment of cavalry are stationed here for the purpose of suppressing any excitement which might result from the recent affair of game wardens and utes and to report promptly any small parties attempting to leave the reservation today at 2 says a salt lake tribune special of today chief sowa wick uncle sam a brother of one of the murdered indians gretchen In star one of those who escaped from the 1115 ill fated camp and over forty other white rivers came and decided to talk with cavanaugh the lieutenant has no authority to investigate the affair of the wardens but no government official having appeared on the scene thus far the indians decided to tell their story to him star it will be remembered was the man who told your correspondent the story of the killing when his party was met by F troop shortly af after ter that event today he spoke first and verified his previous statement by telling somewhat more fully the same story Yum butz the other indian who escaped from the scene of the difficulty tolaf his story also and from the where he met star at camp their stories tallied exactly they were not together until that time having hunted separately that day they were both emphatically certain that there were at I 1 least east twenty five wardens thomp son was man amy by bame but they were certain that they can ident identify if f at least five others by sight they again insisted that none of the indians engaged in the affair were armed all of the guns guna being in their tepees AA the conclusion of the he story of the two indians cavanaugh expressed regret that the affair aff air had occurred and stated that doubtless the investigation would adjust the matter he told the indians that their course of returning quietly to the reservation had been admirable and that they would surely get justice uncle sam thanked Cavanaugh for his remarks and said that all of his people the white rivers would wait patiently for the investigation but he expressed a desire to be present at the execution of the white men who had killed his brother A nephew of Shimar Shim ariff lff the old indian who was killed told of his own and his peoples peaceful intentions and wanted an investigation vesti gation the meeting ended with a decidedly unique address by Bul lwoods a uintah agency policeman he thought that the i best way of settling the affair would be to deliver a warden into the hands of star stair another to uncle sam and yet another to nephew to be dealt with as those indians desired he was informed that while this would doubtless satisfy the indians idea of justice it did not exactly coincide with the white mans way the meeting then adjourned with expressions pres of good will on both sides omaha neb nov IO 10 president S H H
