LINCOLN. Sept. S ( Special. ) Attorney
General Smyth Is preparing a brief In the
case of 1'rank Irvine against the State on
the collection of & claim mndo by Irvine for
tmy for lectures delivered at the State uni
versity and It Is exported thnt In thi * l.ricf
the attorney general will make one of his
best anti-election grand stand plavs. The
rlalra made by Irvine was turned down by
the state auditor and wag carried to .he
district court , where the verdict war against
the state The af'orncy general brings It 'o
the supreme court on appeal and ho has In
dicated verbally that his brief Kill make a
phoning that Irvine as court commissioner
if not entitled to pay for the extra services ,
that the supreme court Is crowded with
work and that the state Is entitled to every
moment of the commissioner's time. lie
will. In effect , hold that It Is against public
polity to pay the claim , this being the
bland taken In the lower court.
In the presentation of the case It Is cvl-
dent the attorney general will forgit that
the state Is entitled to alt his own time
and that ho In fact gives less than one-
half his time to Iho business of the state.
Last fall Mr. Smyth paid more attention to
the campaign than he did to the * public
business and this fall he Is so ousy with
politics as to be seldom seen In his oilier.
In splto of this he not only drafts the salu-y
allowed under the constitution , but nlso
takes moniy out of the prosecution , Investi
gation and other funds , which are purqul-
sites" prohibited by the constitution.

AFrum.ng Attorney General Smyth's posi
tion in regard to the Irvine claim to be
orrect. then are n number of other claims
that have bepn paid without protest that
would seem to bo equally "nzalntt pulilie
polio " For ItiBtnncr , A. E Sheldon , one
of the members of the last legislature , has
1'ten drawing one eularv from the stale
printing board and another from the uni-
vpt&ity , although the holding of either of
thi so Jobs by a member of the legislature
Is elearly prohibited by the constitution.
Another ease if , that of Ilcpent Von Forell
of the unlversltj. who also draws pay as
( hnrlain of the reform school. The state
auditors deputy , who Is allowed a definite
salurj under legislative appropriations , has
brrn allowed to rtn > w extra compensation
amounting to several hundred dollars Sena
tors Dearing and Oondrlng have drawn
salaries under state appointments , although
roi tlon 13. article ill. of the constitution
sajs "No person ilected to the legislature
shall r < cel\e any civil appointment within
this state from the governor and seriate
during the term for which hp was elected "
The Eetlon referred to also declares that
all such appointments shall be void.
It would hoem from Attorney General
Smjth's position on this question , as well
as from many of his political briefs filed
In other cases , that his ideas of "public
policy" are. marked out entirely on po
litical lines , and that claims filed by regu
lation "reformers" are entitled to prompt
payment without Inspection

NEW YORK. Sept. S Joseph Chamberla.n |
said frankly to a Tribune reporter that the ; ' !
treaty ' with Germany had actual ! } been i
signed , thus making It known to the world i
' for ' the first time that such an alliance had I
been ' made.
Dispatches from England vestcrday made '
It clear that In that country It was still | I
n matter of conjecture whether there was
any true basis for the reports that Kng- ! i
land 1 and Germany had conic to an under- '
standing. Moreover , while not stating It In i
i > o many words , for the reason , as he e.x- j ' i
plained ] , that he did not wish to appear
presumptuous | , Mr Chamberlain made It |
clear that the English government favors the
retention i of the Phlllplncs by the United
States. When Mr. Chamberlain was asked
as to the opinion he held regarding the most
advantageous course which the United States
could pursue respecting the I'hlllplnes , he
replied diplomatically
"However much I would hko to talk upon
this matter , I must not do so , for the simple
and sufficient reason that an > thing I might
say In that direction might seem like glv-
Ing ] advice or suggestions to the United I
States j by a foreign statesman , and that , besides - I
sides being invidious would be impertinent " 1
Leaving , thereupon , the direct line of
Inquiry , Mr. Chamberlain was asked for his 1
opinion in the abstract as It were Then It '
became apparent from Mr. Chamberlain's
conversation that he viewed the holding of I
the Philippines as an advisable course for I
America , both fron. a national and
mercantile outlook. "Colonization Is alvvajs I
a good thing for any countrj , " he said. ! '
"England's cxcrlcnce bears out that state- 1
mcnt thoroughly In the first place It tends
to uplift the whole character of the nation ! '
The government of colonies compels a
country to wider and broader poll les and
national thought because of further ie- I
sponslbllltles which are Incurred Instead i
of spending every moment of its lime on
parochial or local matters the holding of |
colonies Imposes an enormous trust upon a i
home government , the carrying out of which |
undoubtedly helps any administration , because - j I
cause of Its broadening Influences , and these
Influences will always permeate with ad
vantage through the country which gives '
them rise Colonbatlon is beneficial to any \
nation
Source of Help ill Home.
"Tho cry Is sometimes made that to
govern outside possessions detracts from
the proper attention which should be given
i
to Internal affairs , but that has not been '
England's experience. The government of j
our colonies has not prevented us from giving -
ing necessary and adequate attention to na
tional and local Issues In a word. ,
1
colonization brings out ihe qualities among I
the people at home which Insist upon ,
domestic reform '
In reply to the s > uiKp-tion ; that possibly
the United States would be influenced in
Its attitude on the Philippine question by
Intrinsic considerations. Mr. Chamberlain
said : "That question is un important one ,
of course , but as rule all our countries
pay their own way. It Is not our policy
to exact anything from our colonies In the
shape of actual tribute. They have the
spending of their own revenues and their
lesults are usually sufficient to cover the
cxpcndltuies. In solitary cases , like the
West Indian Islands , where there was dis .
tress because o ! th failure of the sugar
crop , we give help , but these Instances are
excrpttonal.
"Another factor which should be worthy '
of the deepes' consideration Is that if you |
took the Philippines it would be manifest
to the world that sou do not Intend to be
left out of the Pacific and China trade. |
The tendency of events , as you well know ,
j '
has been to clo e China , which has hlthoito
been open to clo e Its vorts , in fact , to
the United States and England
Troni all I can learn in my capacity as
colonial secretary , " continued Mr Chambei-
Inln. signlllcantl > , "tho one thing the con
tinental powers are afraid of Is that an
understanding should be reached between
the United States and England. " j
The question of protecting American trade i
interests In her possible colonies by plac- j
ing similar tariffs upon outside Imports ns
are Imposed in this country was broached j I j
to Mr Chamberlain , but he dismissed It |
with this reply "If you become a colonial
power , and place tariffs upon foreign im
ports Into jour possession i venture to
say that > our colonies would not pay. In I
view of the fact , however , that > ou have
I
tried tariffs here and proved the policy suc- ,
cetsful for years. It would not bt becoming
on my part to say an > thing further on this
head. "
IlrllUh-Ainerlemi All Inner.
Mr Chamberlain's attention was then di
verted to the subject of the talked of al
liance between the United States and Great
Britain. "I think , " he went on , "that a
somewhat extreme view has been taken In
some quarters of the desire to establish the
best friendly relations between the two na
tions. So far as I understand Iho ques
tion , there Is no proposition of a hard and
fast formal alliance proposed. A regularly
drawn up and signed treaty Is not sug
gested FO far as my knowledge goes. What
the English people desire Is no more than
a complete understanding and amicable relations - I
lations between the two countries. If we [
can only understand each other better , I .
think that n perfect unity between the j
two countries can bo developed without j
the aid of any formal alliance I can say
with certainty that ninety-nine out of every
hundred people in England are eager that
there should be tome t > ort of tacit friendly
agreement between this nation and jours.
The English people are n-ady to enter Into
such nn agreement as far as sou wish to
carry it How broad it shall be , or how
restricted , depends entirely upon the \mer-
Ican people "

company. The opinion states that dcfend-
ant's charges on grain originating at points
on Its Southern Minnesota division , milled
In transit at La Crone. Wis. , and forwarded
as product to Milwaukee or Chicago , are
not moro than 2'i cents per 100 pounds In
excess of Its wheat rates from the same
points of origin to Milwaukee or Chicago ,
and such milling rates at I-a Crosse , as rc-
lated to defendant's wheat rates , or as af-
feeling the competitive relations of rora-
plalnant with millers at Milwaukee , are not
unjust or otherwise unlawful.
Transit rates at La Crosse on wheat for
points on faid division to Milwaukee or Chl-
cngo bear the same relation to wheat rates
from such points that the rutra un wheat
In and on Hour out of Mmneapolu bear to
grain rates from points on defendant's more
northerly Hastings t Dakota division. Alterations -
