es could have anticipated anything else than that the inquiries of the Com mission would result in all-round condemnation of every officind who wha in any way responsible for the proper carrying on of the work of the Treasury during the long period over which the frauds extended. None of those per- sons took the slightest trouble to as sertain whether the machinery of the office was in good working order or..... not. Indeed, it may almost be said that none of them took the trouble to learn what was the exact nature of the oper

one of the department. But what else could anybody expect? The principle on which appointments are made in this Colony is not that of finding the Attest man for the office, but that of finding the office for the man The round man may sometimes be put in the round hole, but the chances are all the other way. That the officials who have had charge of the Treasury Department since 1883 were all men in the wrong place in as clear as anything van be. The fault is not, perhaps, al- together theirs. So for us the Alves de- falcations were due to the inere; income petence of the officials at the bend of the departmant, those who made the na pointments must share the blame with. those who held the appointments. At Fall eronte, Alves, and no doubt the other aubordinates in the office, must have had a very poor opinion of the capabili- ties of these officials and of their fitause for discharging the duties which de- zolved upon them. Alves himself must bave been pretty confident that ho sould carry on his fraude for, a considerable 67 length of time without being detected. It is possible that he thought they might never be detected. According to the report of the commission he appropriat ed $29,480 between 1888 and 1989, 220 $12,000 in 1890, 611,959 in 1891, and $9,388 in 1392-a total of 862,817. That is a record of fraud by an unsecur- ad subordinate and of carelessness and incompetence on the part of his eu. periors. for which we should hardly think it possible to find a parallel,
