NO SURRENDER 0NrFEVE CENTS.
1t is evident from the prevailing re-
ports of the efforts of the representa-
tive men of South st. Paul and Of the
members OF the West Side Improvement
association to secure a scent fare from
the present street railway corporation
between st. Paul and South ST Paul,
that there is a disposition to yield the
essential point on which these gentlemen
should insist on behalf of both commune
tiles
The people of st. Paul have something
to say on this proposition as well as the
people Of the Sixth ward and of the
communities between here and Inver
Grove; and the sentiment of this COM
munity, if tested would be found ire
vocable against yielding one inch on
the proposition of a nickel fare.
1t is but a few days since Mr.. Hill,
of Minneapolis, declared his readiness
to construct a rapid interurban street
car system between st. Paul and Mime
apolis and operate it at a scent fare
if he could be put in possession of tho
necessary franchise. AS has already
been pointed out in this behalf this Min
neapolis concern which controls our city,
interurban and suburban street passen-
ger traffic has long been operating sub
urban lines from Minneapolis through
districts less populously settled than
that to and from Inver Grove, at a s.
cent fare.
If there is any reason why this same
concern should not operate the South
st. Paul system on equal terms. nobody
but Mr.. Lowry in his supreme wisdom
is in a position to point it out and he
probably could not do so of-hand or with
out the thoughtful counsel of the hope
full aggregation that represents him and
his interests in this community.
The business men of South st. Paul
will be unjust to themselves and to the
people they represent, and more es-
pecially to the business and social in
terests of this community, If they yield
an inch on their demand for a scent
fare. Three cents is steadily being &C
cepted as the limit of compensation in
city transportation. We are about to
have a Scent fare system in every large
city, either absolutely or in a qualified
way. combining it to certain hours of the
day. Even the scent minimum should
not be made applicable for any extend
ed period by them; and under no cir
cumstances should they grant q fran
chise longer than twenty-five years.
Long before boys now attending school
shall have become old men, the principle
of local control and ownership of street
car lines win be generally operative.
The advancement made in the propaga-
ton of this idea during the past five
years can be safely made the basis Of
very liberal prediction in this behalf.
The exactions and brutalities associated
during the past twenty-five years with
street car administration have been eff
fective in calling into existence the pres
Cit coAuitIOh Oh pupllc sentiment toward
such enterprises in the hands of greedy
corporations. The business men of St.
Paul as we'll as of South st. Paul,
should be able to avail themselves of
this same sentiment in this case by re-
fusing under any circumstances to yield
more than 5-cent fare and a charter
CT maximum duration of twenty-five
years.

Shaffer says that all the contracts
which the Amalgamated has with the
companies of the steel trust were drawn
with regard to the constitution of the
association which gives them a right to
violate them at will. This comes from
Shaffer and no one viii be surprised. But
the man of sense might ask what good
is a contract which compels the en-
ployers to do certain things and allows
the employed to break it at any time?
OF course the Amalgamated can break
the contracts which they have made if
they wish. There is no redress against
anSirresponsible body, but to claim the
right to break them because the Amalga-
mated constitution provides for it, is
amusing.

An 1afpER1A1 SUPREME COURT.

Notwithstanding the occasional criti-
cisms pronounced on the action of the
supreme court of the United States it
stands as the greatest judicial tribunal
of the world. Under the theory of our
government It's power is absolute when
once that power is invoked. There lies
but two appeals, one to the arbitrament
of Observation-Disclosures another to the
people through the process provided in
the constitution for it's own amendment
AT the time the American constitution
was framed, the provisions for the judi
cial powers were unique. No such trl-
bunal was found in the great prototype,
the unwritten constitution of England
There the house of lords was the court of
not all being versed in the law, the &C
tual court of appeals was composed of a
subcommittee, known as the law-lords,
who took cognizance of appeals from the
lower courts. The house of lords as a
court had no original Jurisdiction except
in the case of a peer charged with a
criminal offense and demanding his an
cient right to be tried by his peers. The
latest exhibition of this privilege was
the recent abortive trial of Earl Rus
sci for bigamy.
The appeal to the house of lords in
time became inconvenient and withal
unsatisfactory and court of appeal was
formed of certain members of the privy
council who reviewed all cases appealed
from the colonies. This innovation was
accomplished not many years ago when
the great law reform swept over Eng
land, doing away with many of the old
common law forms and usages This
court of appeals composed of privy
councillors evidently did not meet with
the appreciation of the colonial govern
ments, for when the Australasian com
monwealth was formed it refused to rec
ogpize the judicial sovereignty of Eng
land. While parliament is supreme in
England the colonies have never, since
the American revolution, admitted it's
authority The only allegiance acknowl-
edged has been to the British crown.
While this loyalty to the crown was af-
firmed by the Australian commonwealth
in a political sense, it was denied when
it was sought to be applied to the au-
thority to pass on judicial matters in
volving individual rights of liberty and
property.
To settle this difficulty compromise is
about to be effected by the crea-
ton Of an imperial supreme court,
with representatives from Australia,
Africa and Canada and maybe from
other parts of the empire. The jul
risdiction of this court will be fixed by
joint acts of parliament and the various
colonial governments.
Such court with appellate jurisdiction
of a limited class of cases arising both
in England and the colonies will soon be-
come tribunal of great dignity and
power-co-ordinat with the supreme
court of the United States-the highest
compliment to be paid any judicial body.

The British navy is in bad way. In
the recent naval engagements with itself
1t lost dozen cruisers and as many
torpedo boats ana destroyers, while the
entire merchant marine was destroyed.
This was an awful blow to Johnny. It
was fortunate for the owners of the Lee
land line that the entire fleet had been
sold to Pierp or they would have been
captured :. by the enemy The Iact that
the enemy lost but few old cruisers
shows how rotten is the boosted British
navy. Experts are confident that as soon
as Russia learns of this disaster an adj
vance on India will be made at once.

The Building Trades Association of
New York City has shown upon what
kind of fight the Amalgamated de-
ponds in case of necessity, by its reso-
luton passed at meeting Tuesday. Aft
err expressing their sympathy for the
down-trodden steel workers, they say
that if the American Federation of La
Dor considers it necessary to ask US to
do so, We will refuse to handle the prod
uct of the steel trust as long as the
strike lasts. We believe that the win
ming of this strike by the Amalgamated
association is of vital Importance to or
ganized labor all over the United States.
The same old tale. In carrying out
such proposition they would not be
injuring the steel trust so mucn as hun
dreds of innocent par.les, whose only
crime is that they are compelled to live
in country where such injustice is
made possible by the political construc-
ton of the government.

THE SUCCESSOR

Albany. Jan. 14.-Governor Odell tonight
moved Colonel Sas W. Burt. of New York City.
Democratic member of the State Civil Service
Commission and appointed John E. Kraft. of
Kingston, to fill the vacancy. The Governor is
authorized TO change any time the personnel
of the Commission as the terms of office of its
members are not fixed by statute.
There was much surprise when the announce
ment vas made to the Senate by the Governor
in official communication. No reason was
assigned. and it is impossible to procure a state
ment from the Governor tonight. II is rumOred,
however, that the Governor has heard reports
questioning the Democracy of Colonel Burt, and
that he desired an organization Democrat to I'LL
the office.
Mr.. Kraft is a lifelong Democrat, and at one
time was Mayor of Kingston. The salary OF the
office is $1,000 year and travelling expenses
The appointment must receive the confirmation
of the Senate.

ARMY MEN OPTIMISTIC OVER THE IMPROVING
SITUATION.

SITUATION.
Manila Jan. 14.-Optimism is taking the place
of conservatism among the military men here,
the cause being the numerous surrenders, capt
ures and destruction of insurgents camps
coupled with the increasing understanding of the
Americans Intentions among the natives, the
propa agation of the principles of the Federal
party and the knowledge that they are approved
by the United States Philippine Commission and
the military authorities. and that the carrying
out of the terms of General MacArthurs procla-
nation CHASING all who do things inimical to
the interests of the army rebels and traitors
is having pointed effect.
The cutting OF communications and supplies
has destroyed the remnants Of the insurgents
organization The inhabitants of the towns are
dlsinclined any longer TO contribute secretly to
a hopeless cause. and it is generally believed
that the pacif1cation OF a sufficient number or
provinces to inaugurate a general scheme OF
provincial government will be accomplished be-
fore many more weeks have elapsed The most
pronounced resistance at present is in remote

Representatives Of the Central Cathoca, at
meeting here. spoke on the subject Of religion
in the schools and urged the adoption OF amend
ments providing for the employment exclusively
or principally of native and Catholic teachers
and for permitting religious teaching in the
schools They argued that native teachers couId
achieve better results than Americans, and tnat

If the prevailing religious customs were not dis
turbed.
In order to avoid long response from their
opponents on the question of religious teachlng
in the schools. Judge Taft announced that the
Commission, under its instructions, could not
possibly adopt the amendments suggested by the
Central CathOlica.
The Commissioners are unanimous in the be-
lief that q great majority Of the Ftltpinos de-
sire religious teaching in the schools. They hold
that the purpose Of the bill for public education
will be partially defeated unless the children or
Catholics permitted to attend the pubhc
schools.
