CAN'T GET TO TOWN
Trans Mlnnehaha Farmers and Dairymen
Appeal to City Engineer.

Farmers in the Richfleld and Blooming
ton districts are asking the city engineer
to solve the problem of how they are to
bring their market truck into the city
this summer. There are several large
dealers in milk who would like the same
question answered.
A new bridge is being erected over the
Minnehaha creek at Lyndale avenue, and
the old one has been torn down. There is
no other way for teams to cross nearby
except to use parkway bridges, which Is
prohibited by park board rules under a
penalty Of SIS fine , -.
The only thing for heavy teams to do is
to drive several miles out of the straight
way, cross the stream at Edna, and come
in on the far side of Calhoun so as to
avoid the bouleVards. rr

John O'Donnell state labor commission

its inspection of factories, says statistics

Mr.. O'Donnell attributes this to better

laws, and to greater vigilance on the part
Of school authorities.

Mr.. GarfieId's Plan.

Commissioner of Corporations Gar
field has just published his annual re-
port, and in it he urges that all cor
porations which engage in interstate
commerce be required to take out fed
eral franchises, thus vesting the con-
troll of interstate commerce wholly in
the general government. The CHIEF
features of his revolutionary plan are,
as follows:
1.-THE granting of federal franchise or
license to engage In interstate commerce.
"The imposition of all necessary re-
quirements to corporate organization and
management as a condition precedent to
the grant of such franchise or license.
1.-THE requirement of such reports and
returns as may be desired as condition
of the retention of such franchise or IL
cense.
"The prohibition of all corporations and
corporate agencies from engaging in
interstate and foreign commerce without
such federal franchise or license.
"The fun protection of the grantees of
such franchise or license who obey the
laws applicable thereto
1.-THE right to refuse or Withdraw such
franchise or license In case of violation OF
law, with appropriate right of judicial APP
neal TO prevent the abuse of power by the
administrative officer"
Mr.. Garfield goes on in his report to
show that no legal difficulties stand in
the way. 1t would put an end to state
taxation upon interstate business, and
there would be other matters to be
considered in so sweeping a change.
The United States has beyond doubt
the right to regulate interstate COM
merce, and Mr. Garfield and President
Roosevelt are convinced that it will
never be we'll and consistently regu-
lated except by the federal govern
ment.
Mr.. Garfield says compulsory fran.
chise system is necessary. But he does
not exactly explain how a corporation
like the beef trust is to do business
under a state charter in Illinois and
under federal charter in Indiana.
Which is which? Which is the bigger
of the two? Which holds the funds

Large Christmas Trade.

1.-THE Christmas trade in our store has
gone far in excess of any previous Christ
mas week." said a member of one of
the largest retail firms in Birmingham
last night. This entire week business
has been excellent and we have not the
slightest cause to complain.
THE volume of trade each day has
been larger than on the corresponding
day of any previous Christmas week, and
with a pretty day Saturday there Is no
telling how far In advance we will real
ly go.
81 would like to see 1t clear Saturday
and slightly cold, for that causes people
to feel the spirit of the occasion. When
ladies are shopping for Christmas they
like to have muff, and some furs around
their necks, then they feel like 1t is ideal
Christmas weather.
"As a rule every class of people seem
to be buying literally this year. We
had a larger stock of Christmas presents
than ever before. and they have all sold
WELL particularly our novelties.
MY understanding is that trade has
been equally as large in proportion in ev-
cry line of business in the city. and I
am glad that this is true

in the republican party, and when they
say a bitter sectional agitation would
personally injure them, the politicians
will conclude the time is not ripe
for Crumpackerism.
It will never be ripe. The interests
of the north in the south, says Sena-
tor Pettus, forbids, and the representa-
ton of the south will stand untouched.
Senator Pettus has found the key to
the situation. The amount of north
ern money invested in the south is
simply enormous. Northern men and
foreigners own nearly every railroad
in the south. They own and control
the great companies of this district.
Their money is invested in all parts
of the south, and they will not stand
still when they see their investments
are about to be injured by an unnec-
essary political agitation sprung to adj
vance the personal fortunes of such
men as Keifer and Crumpacker. Cen
eral Pettus says Keifer and Crum-
packer are up against the men who
have money invested in the south, and
the latter are the stronger of the two.

SHOPPING Parties Popular.

Shopping parties are quite the rage at
our house these holiday times, said
real estate dealer yesterday. AT my
boarding house there are number of
ladies' and children who anxiously await
the coming of theiE Husbands and faith
ers at night for an expedition down town.
AS soon as the evening meal is disposed
Of we organize our forces, gather recruits
from all parts of the nelghborhood and
then proceed to make a raid on the stores.
1 dare say that we do more looking
than buying, but these little outings are
quite enjoyable and 1t is the finest way
in the world to get line on the Christ
mas presents you intend to buy. We
have conducted shopping parties every
night this week, but Of course tomorrow
night will mark the climax an the rush
will then be over.
1.-The streets are quite attractive at
night and the crowds hurrying hither
and thither lend animation to the scene.
About the only people who are not en-
joying themselves immensely are the
hard-worked individuals who have to sell
Christmas presents. Some of these are
beginning to show the effects of the rush
in languid attitudes and pale faces. The
ship girls will need a rest after tomor-
row night, for this has been a strenuous
week in the department stores"

WHY "THE SYSTEM" is EXCITED

From the New York World.
1t is well enough for the men that
have been prodded by Thomas w. Law
son to call him a liar and a blackguard.
but they will never convince the public
that there could be so much smoke with
out a little fire.
Lawsons statements have been accept
ed not because Lawson made them but
because they dovetailed with things the
public already knew. ''Frenzied finance"
was not altogether a mystery when Law
son began his revelations. A little light
had been turned upon Amalgamated and
a great deal of light on the shipbuilding
swndle. Even Bay State gas was not
completely hidden in darkness, and the
public was more or less familiar with
the thing that Lawson calls 1.-THE system"
long before the Boston Spectator became
q popular contributor to ten-cent mag
azine.
Most of the exposing has been done
not by Lawson but by the men who
have been trying to head him off. There
has been little definite information in
his magazine articles, but a great many
hints, and it is the hints that are pro-
ducing the CONSERVATION. 1t would seem
that the cause of all this celestial ire
among the potentates of high finance"
is not so much what Lawson has already
said as the knowledge of what he might
say If he wished. 20 wonder "the sys-
tenn is excited.

Tempest.
Russia's RIOtOus RevOIutionaries.

The outbreaks in Russia are per
haps regrettable at this particular
time. when the czar is considering a
scheme of constitutional reform, but he
is a man who constitutionally hest
tates and the occurrences of the last
two months may spur him to quicker
consideration of the memorial pre-
sented by the zempstvos. He Will
scarcely grant representative govern
ment In the fullest sense, but he will
undoubtedly try to conduct an autoc-
racy while granting civil liberty in
qualified form to the people. The two
cannot well work in double harness,
md one or the other will suffer. 1t
will probably be the grand dukes and
the other reactionaries who make up
the present bureaucratic machine that
supports the autocracy.
The new minister of interior, Prince
Sviatopolk Mirksky, is undoubtedly a
liberal He undoubtedly favors some
form of representative government,
but the ring of reactionists,
headed by the grand dukes, is still
powerful. There will be a compromise
and reform will progress in Russia,
as elsewhere, step by step, and every
step will be contested by the class
beneficiaries of the existing system.
Any departure from the general poi
icy of the bureaucracy will be memoir
able, and all have more or less con-
fidence in the good intentions of the
present emperor.
The pressure upon the emperor was
never greater towards reform, and
1t will not be surprising if the ex-
pected manifesto does not indicate a
line of political progress that will in
the course of time put Russia in line
with all other nations. Russia is to-
Gay the last stronghold of absolutism.

Election Fund Revelations.

Little by little the truth touchlhs
the modern campaign fund is coming
out. Mr.. Lawson is now paying strict
attention to the confessional, and ne
discloses in his article in the January
number of Everybody's Magazine a
chapter wholly pertinent to the SUD
ject of campaign funds.
In 1896 Mr. Lawson says It became
necessary to buy the interests OF
Dwight Braman and his associates Ill
the Bay State Gas company, when
Lawson and H. II. Rogers were then
manipulating. Rogers agresd to fur-
nisb the money. He, too, had justSbeen
reouested by the late Mark Hanna to
raise a fund of five million dollars TO
carry doubtful states for Mckinley
It was important that Braman and MS
associates should not know who FUR
nished the 100000 needed to get Bra
man and his associates out of the Bay
State Gas company. 1t was therefore
arranged that Rogers subscription to
the campaign fund should be increased
To the extent of 100000. the extra
anount TO be taken to Delaware by
partner of the late John Moore OF the
firm of Moore g. Schley. That partner
proves to have been Elvertoh r. Chap
man. who was in 1896 a partner In the
firm of Moore & Schley. On the day
the Braham trouble was called Mr..
the Braham trouble was settled Mr..
Chairman frankly says he took $225,O0O
in cash to Delaware, and paid IL 10
certain persons unnamed. Mr.. Law
sons story is thus confirmed by Mr..
Cbanman who is now the head of the
well-known firm of E. r. Chapman &
Co. Mr.. Lawson says Mr.. Chapman
turned the money over to Messrs Bra
man and Foster, both of whom are
living. neither of whom has denied
Mr.. Lawson's statements.
The Bay State incident is important
to the public because it shows that
five million dollars was raised in
pinch in 1896 to carry five states. How
much more they raised Is not stated.
Nor is the amount known to the gen.
eral public, but all the facts of 1896
and 1900 will yet be brought out, and
the honest voter will stand astonished
at the corruption and capitalistic de-
vices that have crept into American
politics.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Lonely for Americans.


Mexico Is blessed with a superb
climate and the country is very interest
ing to the tourist. but it is the last
place IN the world where ] would care
TO reside permanently said well-knoWn
railroad man at the Morris. in the first
place there are not enough Americans
down there to make life worth living, and
person Is apt to get frightfully lone
some among all those ragged Mexieans.
Although President Diaz has accomp-
lished wonders for his countrymen and
Mexico has made wonderful progress
during the past twenty years, most of
the people appear to be distressingly
poor. l never saw such poverty as some
OF them exhibit. It Is certainly a bless
ing that they dwell In a land where the
absolute necessaries of life are few In
number and the climate is mild. If they
had to pay heavy clothing bills and buy
coal into the bargain. l don't know what
would become of thousands of unlueky
icons.
Yet Mexico is a wonderful country. 1t
is possible to find there the most delight
full climate in the world as well as the
worst. In the uplands there are sunny
skies, balny breezes and an equable tenn
perature, while In the lowlands on the
coast pestilential fevers Turk. It is a
great country and a most attractive coun-
try for a visit, but after all [ would
rather live in old Alabama"

Christian Charity at the Mines.

1.-The Christmas holidays says the
Montgomery Journal, will be married
in the Birmingham district by the
strike. Many homes that could have
been made happy if all were well in
the mines, il pleasant relations had
existed between the miner and the OPP
orator, will be desolate and cheerless
by the absence of Santa Claus. This
will mar the pleasure of many in that
district who are not in the least bit
connected with the strike and have no
concern in the labor troubles of the
mines and miners, but who have a
heart and a soul ana a sympathy for
human want and sorrow and suffer
ing"
Surely no one will hold the little tots
in miners homes responsible for the
existing strike. Surely not. And many
a little one will not see Santa Claus
this year-many one-unless an I'M
usual effort is made to extend the sun
shine of the season to them.
1t is not too late to consider the lot
of the little children in the homes of
the men on strike-to consider them
individually. Individual charity is al
ways better than the organized sort,
although the latter is better than none
at all. But any man or woman who
has been blessed with employment or
any other form of worldly prosperity,
should seek out the little ones near
him who are suffering privation as a
result of the strike. The little believer
in the visits of Santa Claus who goes
neglected in this district will haunt
the prosperous hereafter, and let us
hope there will not be one such in the
entire district.
