tice Of the promotion Of Thomas Fitzgib-
bons as manager of the interests Of the
American Tobacco company In Minnesota,
the two Dakotas and WISCONSIN and the
upper peninsula of Michigan, which took
place Sept. 1. The article says in part:
Every one in the trade knows ell
hooley," by which name Fitzgibbons Is as
well known as by his own. What jobber
is there that has not been cheered and en-
tertained by. his inimitable Irish stories,
and his fund of Irish wit? Who has. not
measured the royal good fellowship of the
man by his hearty shake Of his hand. or
who has not ever been ready to say. good
bye to fit of the blues as he caught the
"Gilhooley' has been known as an enter
tainer whose equal one seldom finds,
which faculty has won him many warm
acquaintances, yet he has ever turned it
to good account in business way. Seru-
pulously honest in his dealings with the
trade, reliable in the minutest particulars,
always looking after the interests, of his
company as faithfully as though they
were his own, it is no surprise that this
genuine burst Of Irish sunshine has been
further honored by the company he so
faithfully represents.
Mr.. Fitzgibbons has under his lmme-
date supervision a small army Of men
who are as loyal to him as ne Is to
his company. The affairs of his depart
ment are so Systematically conducted as
to secure the very best results, and this.
IN a measure, explains the vast volume
of business enjoyed by the American To-
bacco company in this territory. which
any preceding year in it's history.
Mr.. Fitzgibbons informs us that con-
trary to the opinion entertained in some
quarters, not man has been. let out of
his department, the policy of the COM
pany being to retain all good workers.
which is a tribute to Mr.. Fitzgibbous'
d1scrlminad on in selecting them. and
tribute, to the efficiencyef the statesmen
as well.

public policy, wise or unwise, and in this
case nothing whatever. 1t will be
strange if the supreme court, having in
mind its decisions in the Bowe, the Alex
ander and the Ritz assessor cases, should
concur in the conclusions reached in this
case.
That the entire system of levying and
collecting taxes is the creation of spe-
cial laws, and that the law of 1899
amends and modifies these special laws
is not questioned How the present leg
islation is not to be regarded as special
and obnoxious to the constitution, even
though the power to levy taxes rests in
the municipality aside from the par
ticular special laws which control the ex-
ercise of the power, is not and can
hardly be made very clear to the lay
mind. There is hardly a governmental
function which the municipal corporation
cannot be said to have inherently, apart
from the authority of the special law
which provides the limitations attending
its exercise
1t would be a calamity should this de-
-cision be overturned by the supreme
court. Indeed, the utility of an appeal
under all the circumstances is decidedly
dubious. The decision will, we sincerely
hope, be accepted by the municipal au-
thorities, and the law allowed to operate
as the majority of the district judges de-
clare it should operate.
No matter what the final outcome may
be with reference to this decision, the
decision itself goes far to emphasize the
chaotic condition in which our local
legislation now is. If it stands, or
whether it stands, there is no attempt
that may be made hereafter to legislate
for this city, while the prevailing con-
stitutional inhibition remains, that viii
not be forced through the judicial cruel
bic. 1t is certainly not very creditable
reflection on our capacity for LEGAL self
government that we are compelled thus
to rush into the court to get judicial
construction on every step we take in To-
cal legislation.
! But the rights of the local officeholding
combine must. we presume, be safe
guarded. and as the chamber OF COM
merce says that the present is no time
for change we can only hope that the
people will be good and not get too in
sistent in their demands that the Wei
fare of the officeholders may not always
| control.

opening the speaker asserted that he felt
constrained to indulge in "reminiscences
Of a personal nature, but as remarks OF
that kind were usually of the most III
terest to those directly concerned he
would exercise q severe effort of self
denial. 1t was his pleasure, the speaker
continued to term the church the Greater
First Baptist church. During the period
that he served in a clerical capacity there
were but four Baptist churches in the
city, and today the churches of that de-
nomination numbered fourteen. The
Greater First Baptist church was the
mother of the denomination in Minnesota
as well as st. Paul and he believed well
entitled to the cognCmen.
Mr.. Barnes enlarged to some extent
upon thu effe5t of environment upon the
church and influence of the church upon
Its surroundings. arguing that the latter
was the most potent. lie ccntendcd that
IN some instances where churches were
originally located down town and moved
out in the residence districts rather than
labor with the wage earners in the great
centers This was refrigeration, he
thought The speaker here spoke of the
valor Of Admin al Dewey in sailing right
over the mines of torpedCes into the
teeth of the enemy, and said that when
the church became a Dew ey Christian
people would go wild with enthusiasm.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-10-05

Out of the discussion which has pre-
rapid system Of interurban transporta-
ton has come the suggestion that an ele-
waited railroad should be established be-
tween the two cities for the accomplish
ment of that purpose
The fate Of the present proposed scheme
is uncertain. It has evoked good deal Of
opposition and the passage of the Or
dinance in any other form than as a
mere experimental measure will be fol-
lowed by a great deal of public dissatis-
faction Put the need of an increased
speed for those who wish to pass direct
~ from one city to the other is beyond
dispute Nobody under the present plan
looks to making the trip between the
cities within any less time than a couple
of hours. The whole of a forenoon or
afternoon is now necessarily given over
to making such trip for business pur-
poses. This involves an unreasonable
delay. For interurban traffic the street
car system has completely supplanted the
cid steam transit to and from the respect
i've union depots The trip was then ac-
complished in from twenty-five minutes
to half hour. The business community
has right to demand that in point of
speed they be placed at least where they
W ere before the service on the steam rail-
roads was discontinued.
We ought to have an interurban transit
system which would carry passengers
from the heart of one system to that OF
the other in at least twenty minutes.
Thirty miles an hour is not an unreason-
able rate of speed. Indeed, with proper IA
cilities, and with not more than two stop
ping places, the ground might reasonably
be covered in fifteen minutes.
At this time there does not seem to
be any system which IS more likely to
furnish the needed relief for the business
community of each city in so complete
There is a wide choice from which
route can be chosen; and no doubt the
system has the assurance of sufficient
patronage already to warrant a reason
ably frequent service.
Ten years from now the present system
will be discarded as a means of immedi-
ate communication between the two cit
les. The growth of local traffic will be
such, as the intervening district becomes
settled, as will make the demand impera-
tive for an improved service between the
business sections of the two cities. Any
switching plan, such as is suggested by
the proposed ordinance now before the
council, must be at best tentative. The
demand for a system of real rapid transit
between the cities is an actual one, and
provision must be made for it before long
either through the establishment of an
elevated railroad system or by some
other means equally effective.

CHICAGO FESTIVAL.
City Is Beautifully Decorated and
Illuminated on Opening Night.

CHICAGO, Oct 4-With mus C.
streams of light and patriotic enthusiasm
Chicagos famous festival was formally
opened this evening in the presence of
a vast throng. At o'clock the cords
binding the banners lining both sides
of the court of honor were cut and
5000 yards of red and white bunting
were released. Ten minutes later the
festoons connecting the Venetian masts,
decorated with LOCO incandescent bulbs,
were glowing with light, and State
street, between Van Buren, and Lake
streets, presented brilliant picture.
At s o'clock q promenade concert was
given at Madison and State streets. The
court Of honor was packed with an I'M
mense throng Of curious sightssers until
midnight.
Thousands Of people came down town
to hear the Mexican band play, but
went away disappointed. Through a
mis- understanding the Mexican organi-
zatfon did not participate In the prom
Grade concert in the court of honor, as
had been announced, and local band
was substituted
The electric light decorations on State
street are beyond any hing in that line
ever attempted in Chicago and, although
not all of them were in working der
tonight the effect was beautiful. The
evening concerts and Illumination will
comprise the festival programme until
the arrival of President Mckinley on
Saturday night, when the first parade,
that of the bicyclists, will be held.
Vice President Mariscal, with the Mex
lean party, will arrive here Friday. Gov.
Tanner and staff will meet them at Mat
ton, ILL.,, accompanying the party to Chi
ca;go.
A letter received today from the Chi
nese minister announces that the latter
and two secretaries will accompany the
diplomatic corps from Washington to this
city 4@
Arrangements for the banquet in honor
of Postmaster General Smith at the Aud
itorium, Oct 10, have been completed.
Five hundred postmasters from various
parts of the country will be in attend
ance.
The corner stone, which has been the
cause of so much trouble, was delivered
today and will be cut by the end of the
week. Postmaster Gordon, chairman of
the committee in charge Of the laying
of the corner stone received tonight
message from Gen. NeIso IN A. Miles, re-
GREETING his inability to be present.
Extensive arrangements are be ng
made by the Chicago Woman's Athletic
club for the reception to President Nc
Kinley and Mrs. Mckinley, at the club
rooms, next Tuesday The affair will
be an informal one, the president having
refused to accept the invitation under
any other consideration. Notwfthstand-
ing this the programme bsing arranged
is elaborate. Members of the club who
are expert swimmers will show their
distinguished guests some wonderful
features in that branch.
