ST. PAuL's ANNIVERSARY.

A committee has been appointed to
map out a plan for the celebration OF
ST. PauPs semi-centenniaI. 1t is clear
from the composition of the committee
that the varied interests concerned
have been considered and there is ev-
cry reason to believe that the commit
tee will be inspired by that good feeling
and community of interest and senti-
ment that will be necessary in bring
ing to fruition the hopes of the men
who moved first in the matter of max
ing 1904 jubilee year.
The city and the army are properly
represented, and there is beside con-
siderable showing made by the citi-
zens militant who war for the good Of
the community. The opportunity is
presented to the members of this COM
mittee to emblazen their names in
letters Of brass on the tablets of local
history. But they must not be limited
by local boundaries. The celebration
must be made Northwestern affair,
and it is quite possible to make it of
national interest. AS a matter of fact
the institution of the city of st. Paul
cut great figure in the development
of the nation. 1t opened the way to
the settlement of the Northwest, and it
is admitted that this section of the
country has contributed enormously to
the wealth and progress of the nation.
We shall expect that the committee
will be duly impressed with, the mag
nitude Of the undertaking involved.
A great deal of work will be required
in the making and maturing of plans.
This work is liable to be labor of
love-for we do not ordinarily give due
credit to the men who give of their
time to public affairs. But the COM
m1ttee may be assured of the enthusf-
astic and substantial support of their
fellows in this affair and it depends
on the members themselves whether or
no posterity will award them palms.
They are men of standing; they are
not afraid of the work that is laid out
for them; they know what the people
of the city expect from them. They
VIII be supported and there is every
reason to expect that the semi-centen-
NAL will be a great and unqualified
success. We have the past, we have
the men and we have the money. The
committee is due to make a plan and
draft that will be honored.

TAKING TIME BY THE FoRErock

AT the council meeting this evening
the resolution requiring the board of
public works to call for bids for the
street lighting at once will be consid-
cred. There is every reason to suppose
that 1t will pass, for it aims at the ex-
petition of a public duty that has
hitherto not received that early atten
ton that the needs of the CITY reo11ire
The resolution simply provides that
the bids On the lighting contract shall
be made early enough so that thew
may be considered and disposed of in
time to allow the successful bidder to
anticipate the commencement of his
contract. Heretofore the city has been
in darkness during some weeks while
the posts were being removed and the
new ones put in-in cases where the
contract has changed hands. It NAV
be that the contract will go to the
present holders again, but provision
should be made so that in case of a
change there will be no period of dark
ness while the equipment is being put
in.
The affair is mere matter of de-
tail now, but it may mean much to
the city in January, and there can he
no harm done by the passage of the
resolution.

THE MACS HEAD FABLE.

To the Editor of The Globe:
My attention has been called to the in
teresting resume given by you in a recent
Sunday issue of the life Of my old friend
Father Ravoux.
In your article was Incorporated a let
ter from FIR. Pax, of Glencoe, in which
secrated bishop" and then Tugs in a refer
ence to the Mays Head Fable" as fol-
lows:
1T was such a ''bishop elect" or I'M
consecrated bishop, with the name OF
Barlow, who consecrated Matthew Par
ker for the metropolitan see of Canter-
bury, in England, and with him closed the
line OF apoStolica1 succession in that coun-
try, as an unconsecrated bishop could not
and cannot give what he has not, viz,
episcopal conservation. In Ordaining or
consecrating the new clergy Archbishop
Parker could not hand over to others
what he did not possess himself"
AS to the good taste of such a proceed
ure leave others to judge but as to the
ton to impart. Bishop Parker was not
an unconsecrated bishop. He was bishop
of Bath and Wells in Henry WILL reign,
and in that of Edward vi In Mary's
reign he was deprived of his see. When
Elizabeth came to the throne he was
elected by the dean and canOns Of Chi
chester bishop of that diocese, and so be-
came bishop elect of Chichester, but he
had not gone through with the legal
formalities which entitled him to the
rights and emoluments of the bishopric
confusing ''unconsecrated' and elect"
and might stop here, but it may be in
teresting to your readers to know how he
happened to make the mistake.
Matthew Parker was consecrated arch
bishop of Canterbury, Dec II, 1853 in the
chapel of Lambeth Palace. the London
residence of the archbishops. His con-
secrators were Bishops Barlow. Hodgkins.
CoVerdale and Scory. The account of the
ceremony by eye witnesses is preserved on
the Lambeth register. and the manu-
scripts Of Corpus Christi college, Cam
bridge. Archbishop Parker took his seat
in the house of lords by virtue Of his con-
secration
Forty -four years afterwards Christopher
Hollywood originated the Mays Head
Fable according to which Parker and
other newly elected bishops assembled at
a tavern, where Scory made them mem
bers Of the episcopate by placing a Bible
on their heads.
The validity Of Anglican orders has
teen acknowledged by such distinguished
Roman Catholics as Charles Butler. Can
on TiernaY. DR.. Lingard and BOssuet
The Very Rev T. II Estcourt F. s. A.
canon of st. ChadS. Birmingham, lately
admits that il is very unfortunate that
the Mays Head story was ever seriously
put forward; for it is so absurd on the
face OF 1t that It has led to the suspicion
of Catholic theOlogians not being sincere,

SHAW SPEAKS ON.
PORTO RICO COLLECTOR
Secretary Finds Excuses for the Off
cial-Case Still Undecided.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. Sec
rotary Shaw today authorized the fol-
lowing statement with reference to the
collectorship at Porto Rico:
No definite decision has been reach
co. 1t is known to the department that
some of Mr.. Cruzen's enemies in Porto
Rico were inspired by his reporting at
tempts at smuggling. He insists that
the special agent who investigated his
once unlntentionally became subject TO
the influence of these enemies and that
the report does him great Injustice
The department has but one special
agent who speaks Spanish, and it has
Deen arranged for him to go to Porto
Rico as soon as he can be spared from
work in which he is now engaged
Meantime Mr.. Cruzen was granted
leave OF absence to come to Washing
ton. he was warned against accepting
presents from importers, steamship
companies or others who were liable to
come into official relations with him,
and he was told that if it should de-
Veiop that he had accepted presents
OF articles, however trivial, on which
duty had not been paid, he would be
removed. 1t is not the intention how
ever, to allow the impression to pre-
vail IN Porto Rico that it is unsafe for
a collector to report attempted frauds
upon the revenues.
While Mr.. Cruzen was severely crit
lcised by Special Agent Cullom, 1t is
due to Mr.. Cruzen to say that the re-
port also contains the following lam
guage:
." 1t is fair to state that the situa-
ton In Porto Rico is somewhat unique
and at times trying. AS to the irregu-
larities cropping out under the present
collector, it is but fair to state that he
has no prior experience whatever in
customs affairs, and these seem to
nave been made largely, if not alto
gether, through lack of experience and
tact, and hence not designedly. He
has been very Industrious, and seems.
upon the whole, to have endeavored to
collect the proper revenue"

would have said that a movement pre-
sages great good for the future of
Greater New York which convinced the
Tammany leaders that the nomination
of good men was necessary and which
assured the selection of such men for
the very important offices of comp
troller and president of the board of
aldermen.
These gentlemen, being on both tick
cts, would have nothing but scattering
opposition. At the head of the city's
finances and at the head of it's legisla-
tive departments would be two men
whom the public could absolutely trust.
In connection with the nomination for
mayor of such a man as Mcclellan, it
presented to the voters a choice which
could not result in misfortune. What
ever might be the effect upon party,
neither Mr. Low@nor Mr.. Mcclellan, if
elected, would be guilty of municipal
abuses or public dishonor.

who have made this protest is the posi-
ton of the rankest partisan that ever
meddled in city politics. 1t is an abb
jeet confession of the most contempti-
BILE hypocrisy known to our political
life. They appeal to the voters to sup
port them on nom partisan principles,
on the ground that municipal interests
demand the selection of good men for
office regardless of partisan ties. They
object to the selection of men con-
fessed by themselves to be the best
men, sincere, honest and fair-minded.
because they will not reject a popu-
lar Endorsement that happens to be
labeled Democratic" although they
have accepted with propriety a popular
Endorsement labeled Republican"
The feeling against Mayor Low in
New York city, and the limited sue
cess of his administration and the par
tial failures that it's ardent supporters
are obliged to confess, had already
made his election pretty nearly impos-
sible. The attitude that he has seen fit
to assume toward two associates on his
ticket is a complete guarantee of Dem
ocratic success. He has signed his own
death warrant, and by this extraordf-
nary act has proved the correctness of
the judgment of those who hold him
to be at once weak of mind and in
firm of purpose. The election in
Greater New York is now seen to be
a simple walk-over for the entire Dem
ocratic ticket.

CHICAGO MAY HAVE A
STRIKE FOR A CHANGE
City Railway Company and Its En-
ployes Don't Get Along Smoothly.

CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-A crisis in the
relations Of the Chicago City railway
and its union employees, which may re-
suit in strike. was reached today,
when General Manager McCulloch re-
fused the demands of a delegation of
employees, headed by President William
d. Mahon, of the international organi-
cation. The men demanded an increase
in pay for men in the electric train
department, a reduction in hours for
the barn and repair men and the en-
ployment of none but union men.
The street car company is a men,
Der of the Chicago Employers asso-
citation, and is therefore pledged to the
"open-shop" principle. President Ma
hon said tonight that the men will re-
fuse to accept a refusal Of the demand
for the increased pay, and will not work
with non-union men. This action, he
said, would precipitate a strike. The
matter will be placed before the men at
a mass meeting which has been called
for Saturday night.

Nearly all, if not all, of the ship
yards in the country have lost money
during the past year or two. Some
nave gone into receivers hands and
others out of business. In each case
the cause can be traced back to labor
troubles. Since the machinists' strike
commenced in May our yard has been

has been injured in every way possible.

FOR PERMANENT COUNTY ROADS.

The board of county commissioners
will do more to commend itself to pub
lie approval than it has for many a day
if it shall give in it's adhesion to the
policy advocated at yesterdays meet
ing by Commissioner Powers. We do
not refer to the particular method of
road construction that he favors, nor
to the order in which he would have
permanent roads built; but to the sub
stitution of the genuine improved
highway for the annually renewed
mudhole. That idea is on as solid
foundation as are the best roads in
America
Good roads we must have. We have
the money to get them, and we have
been paying it into the public treasury
for~nany- year, only to find it squan-
dered in worse than useless work. 1t
is not necessary to take one dollar
more from the taxpayer for good roads
than he now pays for poor ones All
that We have to do is to use this
experience of other communities, and
within few years every principal
road in Ramsey county, connecting the
city with the surrounding country and
the tributary towns, will present
smooth, hard surface at all seasons of
the year, and travelling over it will be
a delight.
The true plan is to quit patching: to
cease spending money altogether on
the old plan of peddling out the funds
in pickles Of few hundred dollars at
a time. Concentrate all resources on
one stretch of road, and make it a good
one There need be no grumbling on
the part of those who have to wait,
for their turn will soon come. In the
meantime, they are practically no
worse off if nothing is done than thew
are under the present wretched sys-
tenn. Five years hence they will be no
better off under that than they are to-
day. Five years hence under a sys-
tenn of genuine road Improvement they
VIII nave 1OduS SOU LOT all TIME to
come
When it comes to a question of how
these roads are to be constructed and
just what they will cost per mile. the
county commissioners should refer that
to a competent road engineer. There
is just as much expert KNOWLEDGE re-
quired for building good country roads
as for building railroads, though of
different character. The opinion of
any man uninstructed in the technf-
calities of the business is worth NO
more than another. None of them can
be safely followed. Call in a prac-
ticed road engineer for this part of the
business, put him in charge and take
his advice.
The main thing is to secure the
adoption of the right policy-which is
the substitution of real for bogus
roads; the expenditure of money on
highways that will carry travel and
that will last, instead of on mudholes
and humps. The Globe is more
than pleased to see that the position
which it has taken with respect to this
Important public interest is making
Roadway. To every man who assists
this proposed reform great credit is
due and will be rendered. No man who
opposes it can afford to go before his
constituents and try to explain him

CLOSE BECAUSE OF

President Edward P. Morse attributes
the blame to the walking delegates.
He said:
ION account of continuous labor
troubles and consequent losses, which
commenced over a year ago, we have
been compelled to close our plant. Last
year we were working on contracts
amounting to more than $1,000, 900.

unions discovered our yard was full
of work and that we were bound I'M
der a penalty to complete our contracts
on time. Had they planned to ruin
our concern they could not have work.
ed more Systematically
The troubles, he added, began when
the employees demanded, and the COM
pany consented to, the dismissal of
foreman who had discharged thirty
men for idleness. From that time it
had been one continuous succession of
strikes, winding up with the machin-
lists strike of May 26, which is still on.
IF the men would give a full days
work employers might be more willing
to meet their demands said Mr..
Morse; but the fact IS, the employer
today receives only about one third of
days work, and it is impossible to
figure on large contract without run
ming the risk of heavy loss. Trade
unioniSm is responsible for the whole
trouble. The mechanics employed on
ship repairing in New York harbor are
today receiving 20 per cent more wages
than any other port on the Atlantic
coast Their working time each day is
also 20 per cent less. For instance, in
Philadelphia they are working ten
hours day, while in New York they
are working eight hours. Add to this
