REDUCING RENrs.-The Chicago Tribune
says that universal reduction trent is going
on in that city. Some humane and generous
hearted landlords have vol,mtaruy reduced
the rents on their houses good example
for ST. Paul landlords.
The Tribune sensibly says:
The movement is based upon absolute ne
cesSity. Tenants are not able to pay the
rents stipulated in their last Nays leases,
and it is useless for landlords to try to COL
lect them. A man cannot pay out more
than he receives the income of tenants this
winter will not enable them to meet the liza
billties incurred when money was plenty and
cheap; when banks were expanding, and
business buoyant.
In some instances where landlords peremp-
toraly refuse to abate, the tenants are pre-
pairing to leave, either to quit business or
seek cheeper quarters. 1t is true that land
lords have their remedy at law, and may sue
their tenants, obtain judgments and attempt
to squeeze the extortionate ent out of the
unfortunate lease holder by the grips o. a
Sherlff's execution. But that is a mode of
collection to which none but the meanest
Shylocks will resort. Rent obtained in that
way is little better that "blood money" 1t
will do the recipient no good, but will SO
curse him in the eyes of the community, that
his premises will remain tenantess, at any
price.

Inc Germans were full to OVERLOOKING with
10y at the result of the election in this city.
Inc victory was SO complete and overwhelm-
ing the Irish was kept in such beautiful do
clllty during the whole day, that the aDeutch-

'ne'r own senses. The bonfres, shouts,
speeches. and songs on the night of the cleo.
lion did not satisfy them. Yesterday thew

lively airs, followed by dozen of wagons
MED with Jub'lant, shouting young German
Republicans, who sang songs and made the
welkn ring with their cheers. They drove
all around the North Side, congratulatinc
their friends on the glorious victory over ruff
fianism and slaveocracy. The days rejoicing
was concluded with a grand ball at Foltz'
Hotel on Clayborne Avenue, where the bows
"danced all night until broad day light, and
and then went home with the girls in the
morning" The Germans feel exceedingly
pleased at the peaceably, orderly state of af-
fairs at the polls.-Chicago Tribune.

In ANOTHER ScRAPE.-Our friend b,

the public, is continually unfortunate fell

somebody else. Here is his last adventure,
related by himself:

and hurt my foot like blazes. Sat on the

In 1897, very different state of things ex-
listed from that which exists now Then pro-
visions of all kinds were enormously high;
there had been two seasons of scarcity. the
country was almost bare OF breadstuffs, and
VIC were importing wheat from the North of
Europe. AS the New York Times says
Twenty years ago. when the banks suspend
ed specie payments, We were eating bread, in
New York, made of foreign -four. $4,000
bushels of Odessa wheat had been imported
that very week which sold at ST. busIlel
while sound German wheat was quoted at
$l.4O to $l.45. Western -four was selling
at $3.50 and New York at $3.50 1t was
announced in the market report that the
stock of foreign rye was diminishing. We
imported then everything; not only the
clothes we wore, but the food we ate, and we
had nothing to pay with but specie and cot
ton"
Now things are entirely different in almost
every respect, except in the suspension of
specie payment by some of the banks The
country is full of wealth, full of provisions,
and money from abroad is flowing in for
their purchase in large sums. Neither is
this last any forced matter, but the result OF
Legitimate trade. We have more to sell than
we want to buy, and the balance is bein
paid for in cash. This will soon bring all
things right, in the distract, and tend forci-
bly, to order. all round.

ANE WE TO HAVE HARD WINTER !-The
n. Y. Evening Post is anxious lest the COM
merce of that city may be obstructed during
the coming winter by ice in the harbor. For
the comfort of our contemporary, we will
state that, in this region the knowing ones
prophesy a mild winter. The corn
husks are said to be remarkably thin
a sure sign, in the rural districts. that the.
winter will not be severe. A friend at our
side assures us that observation, cont nued
during a series Of years, led him to a full
belief in the reliability of this indication.
In this connection we would also like to
ask those who are scientific in matters Of eli
matology, whether there is any reason to
suppose that the dryne>s of several preceding
seasons has anything to do in way of the
cause and effect, with the coldnass or
whether the dryness and GOODNESS depend
upon similar causes?

THE VATICAN.-The word Vatican" is Of
ten used, but there are many who do not I'M
derstand its import. The term refers to a
collection of buildings on one of the seven
hills of Rome, which covers a space of one
thousand two hundred feet in length, and a.
bout one thousand in breadth. 1t is built on
the spot once occupied by the garden of the
cruel Nero. 1t owes its origin to the Bishop
of Rome who, in the early part of the sixth
century, erected an humble residence on its
side. About the year 1000 Pope Flu .enius,
rebuilt it On magnificent scale. Innocent
ii, a few years atterward, gave it up as a
lodging to Peter III, King of Arragon. In
l6O5 Clement ", in the instigaticn Of the
King of France, removed the Papal See from
Cove to Avigton, when the Vatican remain
ed in condition Of obscurity and neglect for
many years. It's now the repository Of mu!-
titudnous treasures of art.

A letter in the Democrat dated Lecompton,
Nov. 2, says that Gov. Walker left there a
lew days ago. His destination was thought
to be Washington.
1t is stated that Walkers o ject in station
ing troops at Lecompton was not exactly to
protect the Convention, or to watch and be
prepared for any action which their pro-slave-
ry enemies might prepare against him, but be-.
cause the Legislature having large Free
State majority, they will probably repeal
the obnoxious laws and depose the office
holders, in which case a repetition of the
bloody scenes in the early history of Kansas
might be unprecedented.

Two WAYS OF TAKING IT.-There are two
ways, says the Springfield, Mass, Republican,
of taking the present revulsion, and we wish
to say word about them. Some men, and
these are very largely those who have mon
ey, and perhaps money to lend, 60 into the
most foolish retrenchment. They see a few
hundreds or few thousands of dollars slid
ing away from them, so they retrench at the
table, retrench at the coal bin, turn the sec
ond or third servant ont of the house to pick
up living where she can, retrench at the
tailor's, retrench at the grocer's, retrench at
the dry goods dealers, relinqush improve
ments on their houses, and, having like tur-
ties, drawn their heads inside their shells,
wait in fear and trembling, and mean self
preservation to allow the storm to blow over
This is one way and it is uDbrotherly and un-
manly.

A Car ORGAN.-Everybo who used to
visit the Peoples Theatre will remember
Father Treherthyzer, the leader of the Or
chestra. He is now i'll Dubuque, and is
amusing himself hy experiments on new
instrument. We find the account in the Ec-
peess T. Herald:
Gathering together several grimalkins
which made their homes under his rooi-tree,
he commenced to pinch their tails and found
that the news of the ieines varied as much
as the tones of the human voice. Having
progressed thus r, he next procured a box,
stalled it off int, apartments, each just large
enough to contain one cat. Over this box he
placed sound board or covering, through
which he bored holes for the purpose of ad-
hitting the narratives of the imprisoned
Toms, Molls and Kitties, and exposing them
to the attacks of pncers which were ever
ready to compress the same the moment tile
corresponding key was touched. Thus far
everything advanced to hi, entire approba-
ton, and the only thing wanting to make 4
complete development, was proper supply
of cats.
To this end he has advertised for supply,
and we await further news from the success
Of the Prof's experiment.

"WArER, WATER EVERYWHERE, AND NOT A
DROP" to put out fires with, is the plant of
a correspondent in the Pioneer yesterday
He is nearly right on many points, yet we
hardly apprehend such desperate state of
affairs from arson and burglary as he de-
picts. Here is the suggestion he IN axes to
the City Fathers:
1t is not too late yet to dig few holes
an fill them with water. The cellar on the
corner of st. Anthony and Wabashaw streets
having water l.. it, has several times saved
that frame house. Cisterns there filled in
the same way would have answered equally
AS well. Nearly three hundred citizens have
sent you their written requests to dig us
those holes. How can you refuse when we
have literally no other resource for extin-
gushing fires ? These holes can be covered
SO that the water will not freeze, and if we
have no rains to fill them the neighbors will
haul water to them cheerfqlly, rather than
pay FIVE per cent. for insurance, or run the
risk of Losing their all.
Cisterns themselves, not mere holes, but
regular cisterns, could be built for very little
outlay. They could be filled from roofs, or
by pipes from the springs in the bluffs. But
all these expedients would be of little avail
without an efficient Fire Department, sup
piled with compliment ofengines and hose.
This we cannot have until spring. Phe Fire
Companies which were organized have virtu-
ally died out, for want of encouragement
from the City Council.

OccUPATroN.-The want Of proper occupa-
ton is the cause of more than half of the
petty frets of life, and right occupation will
be a medicine for half the minor ills of life.
A man without any proper aim in life, with
out moral inspiration, too rich to be indnstri-
Gus, and prey to the thousand frets of un-
occupied leisure, sometimes sets himself to
pray against his troubles. Now man might
as well pray against the particles of sand in
Sahara, as lazy man to pray against troubles.
Therefore it happens, sometimes, that
bankruptcy brings man what all his wealth
failed to gve-happiness for be has real
irouJles, and trouble is good medicine for
trouble. There is a moral counter irritation.
