MAY SUCCEED HIMSELF.
What City Official Says of the Sc
lection of Successor to Fire
Chief Jackson

The board of fire commissioners Will.
at its regular meeting tonight, elect q
successor to Chief Jackson. A month
ago it was given out that Hart N Cook,
second assistant chief. would certainly
be elected to take charge of the depart
ment.
Since then there have been all kinds
of combinations talked of, the one re-
ceiving the most attention was that
John T. Black was to be brought back
and placed at the head of the depart
ment.
A city official on Saturday said it
was no sure thing but that Jackson
would be reelected, and last evening
another prominent official said the
matter had been arranged and that on
the second ballot Jackson would be
elected chief
The first ballot, the official said,
would show Commissioners Vanish and
Walther voting for Cook, Commission
ers Clark and Warner voting for jack
son and President Arosin for Black
On the second ballot, the official stated,
Arosin would go with Warner and
Clark and Jackson would receive votes
enough to again secure the position
The gentleman who volunteered this
information was of the opinion that the
fire board having learned that the
chief of the department or any of the
employees could be removed after thirty
days notice, an arrangement could
easily be made after election to again
notify Jackson that he was not needed
and Cook or Black be given the posi-
ton.

Gently, friend, gently. Don't let your

First, it is not the business or the
right Of q newspaper to suppress
anything except matter unfit for publ
cation. We judge from our agitated
friends remarks that, if the news from

print it. A good many people are con-

Filling the ssROSI of Honor.

No one expected that any exposure
of the scandals that cluster so thick
about our pension system as to becloud
what merit it has would have any
effect upon this congress. Neither the
necessities Of the treasury with it's
enormous disparity between income
and outgo, nor the warning Of the
pension commissioner that the appro-
priation Of S141 900 900 would leave a
certain deficit by July Of from five to
eight million dollars, disturbed the
serenity Of congress for an instant The
warning was jauntily dismissed with
the remark that it will be very easy
to cover that deficiency with an appro-
priation out of the increased revenues
the DingleY bill will bring by that
time. Even the proposition to so re-
strict pensions to widows as to pre-
vent the rolls in the twenty-first CEN

TO CARRY ON THE WORK
Central w. Il. G.. U. Decides to Con-
tinue It's Campaign Unassisted by
Any Other Organizations.

Central W. C. T. U. held its regular meet
Ing yesterday afternoon in the rooms of the
st. Paul Commons and decided that It would
carry on the gospel meetings in the Volunteer
nan without the aid once a month of any
other union, as 1t was felt that the present
workers were known and were carrying on
a successful campaign and that it would not
be advisable for new people to take hold OF
this particular work.
However, IL any of the unions desire to hold
meetings. on some other nights they are at
liberty to do so. Mrs Morrison said: at
think 1t would be good to see all the unions
hoIding meetings all over the city"
The following resolution was presented By
MRS. ). " Root, and adopted:

Mrs. NJ. A Morrison SPOKE on the meeting
recently held at the almshouse saying that
1t was the best meeting that they had had
for long time.
Miss Leech, superintendent of L. T. L.
work reported on the en- c tainment given St.

Mrs. Root said: 1t was really a wonderful

deserves great credit
Mrs. NJ A. Morrison reported on the Satur-
day evening meeting in Volunteer hall She
said: The hall was crowded. We hadn't
chairs enough but they were willing to stand

Mrs Root said: 'One result of this work
is that the ministers are taking the meetings

Mrs Root also announced that the saloon

getting three indictments against Mayor"

The Telephone Contest in a Nutshell.

Tonight the board of aldermen will
decide upon the application of the Mis-
sissippi Valley Telephone company for
an ordinance permitting it to erect and
maintain a telephone system in this
city. The assembly has already pass
ed it. 1t remains with the aldermen to
assent or refuse.
We have followed the arguments
made by the not wholly disinterested
opponents Of the franchise, to gather
what of reasonable objection there is
We have been disappointed in the ma
ture Of the objections. They may be
summed up in the questioned financial
responsibility of the promoters of this
company and in the alleged failure Of
independent companies when in COM
petition with the Bell company The
requirement of a deposit obviates the
first, and the facts do not wholly sus-
tain the latter. Indeed, If it be true
that the Bell can crush independent
companies, then that instinct that leads
us all to take part with the under dog
In the fight should insure fair play for
this aspirant for a contest with the
Bell.
We might, with reason, look for ar
guments touching the city's interests;
facts cited showing that they are be-
ing sacrificed or endangered by the new
franchise, and such arguments would
be entitled to great weight. We can
also assume that if the proposed char
ter did put the city or its citizens in
terests in jeopardy the opponents would
have been quick to point it out Fail
ing that, it seems a fair conclusion, in
dependent Of any examination of the
ordinance, that the city's and citizens
rights are secure. The question then
remains, what is popular opinion; that
which the board of aldermen is sup
posed to represent; that which they
should ascertain and respect when
learned? That is no uncertain guam
tity. Every business organization has
spoken. The chamber of commerce,
the board of trade, the Jobbers' union
and the Retail Grocers' union have
each met and adopted resolutions IA
voring the grant. Among the business
men one hears no dissent whatever.
The public Is practically unanimous.
The question for the aldermen who are
opposing the grant is whether they will
set themselves against the general
wish. There are occasions when duty
demands such a stand. This is not one
Of them.

Only a Stuffed Club.

Inere Will gamer IN minneapolis THIS
morning the few remaining faithful of
that once puissant and mighty organ
ization known as the Minnesota League
of Republican Clubs. Sad changes have
come over the patriotic order since the
days when its voice was loud in the
land, it's councils potent in the party
and it's o. *. determinative in the dis
tribution of pie. 1t shared with that
larger body of which it was an integer
the pride that grew with Importance
until the national league forestalled
the national convention, and the state
league stood before the state conven-
ton, sounding the policies which the
conventions were to ratify. Then there
was none but bowed the knee; none but
DOTTED the hat; not one that dared to
question or doubt or deny.
The mutations of all human insti-
tutions are displayed nowhere in more
vivid light than in the fate Of these
leagues. The national organization
crumbled away until it's secretary
shamed it into payment of his large
delinquency Of salary by publication Of
that fact. Hanna, the Alaric, had
descended upon the army Of party
managers, scattered them and grabbed
the reins and assumed control He
proposed to have no divided honors or
authority. He called the league an in
termeddler, an upstart, an interlOper,
busybody, a futility, and would have
none of it, When the great man frown-
ed the leaguers shrank away. They
buttoned up their pocketbooks tight
In the state some of the league leaders
reached the pie counter; most Of them,
all the rank and file, had to stand
back, consumed with hunger, and
watch the others feed. Gradually the
conviction spread that the league was
no good except for very few. Gibes
began TO be heard. Sneers were openly
INDUCED 1t and it's officers were OPEN
ly derided.
Still a few remained, either because
they were faithful or hopeful. They
have called a meeting Of the state
league. They have made strenuous eff
fort to inject into it some Of the old
time vim. There was time when am
bilious politicians would drop every
thing, even congressional duties, to
powwow and talk. For weeks ap-
peals, gradually rising from polite re-
quests to urgent calls, and, as the
emergency pressed, to solicitations in
which pathos and bathos blended, have
been going forth to the eminents Of
the party to come and address the
meeting. To all there has come the
plea of imperious duties, except from
Dolliver. He accepts, and will be there
today. Dolliver simply cannot refuse
any chance to talk. If opportunities do
not come, he seeks them; If he finds
none, he makes one. When he is not
talking to others he talks to Dolliver.
Nothing could be more fitting than that
he should be the one speaker tomor-
row; the stuffed orator combines de-
lightfully with the stuffed club. The
meeting will be stuffy.

CUBAN WAR MUST CEASE.
Chamber OF Commerce Passes a Res
olutiOn Calling Upon Congress to
Act Imned iately.

The chamber Of commerce of St. Paul Il
determined that the war in Cuba must cease
At a meeting of the chamber, held yesterday
morning H. S. Fairchild appeared with res,
olution, stating in plain terms that the St
Paul chamber of commerce had arrived al
the conclusion that something must be done
and that at once.
The resolution was as follows:
That the st. Paul chamber Of commerce
hereby expresses its deliberate conviction
that the time has come when the government
of these United States should peaceably If
it can, forcibly if 1t must, put an end to
the government Of Spain in the Island Of
Cuba.
After it had been read, it was suggest ed
that it be made a special order for next Mon
days meeting, and it was therefore laid over
until that time
Mr.. Kirk presented and secured the adoption
of a resolution favoring the granting of a
franchise to an independent telephone com
pany. The resolution read:
Whereas, The rates for telephone service
e in this city are extremely high for an in
ferior service and
Whereas, The present telephone company
vigorously insists that no substantial
ducllon can be made: and that no telephone
company in city Of this size can success
fully operate for less rates than those now
charged by them and,
Whereas, 1t has been demonstrated that
in cities in this country and Europe a su-
perior service be rendered at prices
ore-half and twothrds less than the pre-
vailing rates charged by the Bell Telephone
company and its licensees and,
Whereas, Competition is the only means
that has been effective in securing lower
rates and a better service:
Resolved, That this chamber on principle
fayors the granting of franchise to an in
dependent telephone company to enable
such a company to install and operate in
this city a telephone exchange.

DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL.
MOZART HALL.

Frau Amanda Heitzmann made her first
appearance before a St. paul audience last
night at Mozart hall. in a concert and oper-
attic programme. The event was attended
with marked interest. In view of the enthusi-
astic encomums which Mrs. Heitzmann' 8
singing has received from those who have
heard her upon private occasions.
Mrs. Heitzmann was heralded as dramatic
soprano of exceptional power. Some of her
enthusiastic admirers went SO far as to ex-
press the opinion that Mrs. Heitzmann was
a second Klafsky.
Mrs. Heitzmann sang four concert numbers
The operate portion of the programme COM
prised two scenes from Wagners "Die
Walkure"-that in which Brunhilde sings the
cry of the Walkures and the farewell scene
between Brunhilde and Wotan. Mrs. Heitz-
mann created more favorable impression in
the opera than In the concert.
1t cannot be denied that her voice is a
dramatic soprano. 1t is big and powerful, and
the middle and lower registers and, to a GER
tain limit, her high notes possess equal
volume. But the upper tones generally are
not so rounded and full. They are charac-
terized by penetrating quality and an alb
sence Of that feeling that constitutes the
potent charm of all music vocal and instru-
mental.
In the concert Mrs Heitzmanns most sue
cessful effort was her encore number, ''Wel-
come Pretty Primrose Flower" The preced-
ing songs were Schuberts die Post" Schu-
mann's "Widmung" and the ocean aria from
Weber's "Oberon.' Of these three songs
"Widmung'' received the best interpretation
The scene from Wagner's weird opera was
presented without an orchestra. William
Maenner presided at the piano, which was
stationed on the .stage, close to the wings
In OH
unity to the cliffs and crags of the noun
tain was slightly homogeneous However, Mr.
Maenner played the score expressively, and
the effect was far better than that produced
by an inadequate orchestra.
Mrs Heitzmann's voice was heard to bet
ter advantage in the role of Brunhilde. The
cold quality of the upper tones was less no
ticeable, and her singing generally was much
more facile and expressive. Mrs. Heitzmann
also acted the role commercially.
P. V. Larsen, who appeared as Wotan, sang
very acceptably. His voice, while dramatic
ally unequal to the exacting demands of the
score, possesses clear, musical quality. 1t
is under excellent control.
Mrs. Heitzmann afterwards enacted the
scene in which Brunhilde summons the
fairies with the cry of the Walkures AS
revelation Of her exceptional vocal power, it
was the most satisfying effort of the even
ing.
Mrs. Heitzmann was assisted by the Mozart
club mannerchor. comprising twenty -four
male voices. Under the able direction of
William Maenner. the mannerchor sang
Forschner's "Es Steht Fine Leid," and
Jaeger's Siciiian folk-songs. The latter
number was repeated in response to a hearty
encore.
Mozart hall was comfortably filled.
