A Protective Tariff Needed.

itective Tariff, as means of reviving times
and inducing more healthy state Of business
throughout The country. He says; ssaa !,

RETRENcHMENT AND EcoNoMY-We are
glad to know that there are plans afoot to re-
lieve the overburdened property owners of our
city and county from their oppressive taxes,
and that after January 1st, 1860, the milleni-
um will commence. Among the plans propos
ed, are ....
l. The union of the city and county gov
ernments, into, "The City and County of St.
Paul." thus dispensing with about one-half
the official machinery now so runiously ex-
pensive, and really unnecessary.
2. A reduction of the number of wards in
the city, and consequent reduction of city
officers, and of salaries. ..----.
3. Abolition of Aldermen's and Mayors
salaries, except mere nominal pay-and re-
vision Of the present expensive Street Com
missioner system, thus saving about six thou
sand dollars per annum.
So nuca FOX cur city and county Retrench-
lncnts. If the State expenses are cut down
in Ike proportion--as they can be--taxes
will be reduced fifty per cent, at least. The
needless machinery by which we are ovcrbur
dened viii be got ont Of the way, and the op-
efatioGS of our State, County and Municipal
Governments carried on with simplicity and
economy. The ''good time" cannot be very
far off, when such signs of returning sanity
are visible.

THANKSGIVING DAY.-A Thanksgiving Day
without sleighing is rather an anomaly in this
country, but yesterday was nevertheless such
an one. The day was gloomy one, and but
little was going on-nearly everybody housed
themselves closely, and except during church
going and coming, but few were to be seen on
the streets.
At dusk the clouds, which had been threat
ening all day, broke in smart shower.
Nevertheless, we presume nearly every
body enjoyed themselves at home, in the usu-
al way, and conformed to the spirit Of the day.
With many it was as much day Of fasting as
of feasting, but the absence Of delicacies on
the table of course has but little to do with
the state of the heart. Probably the devout-
est Thanks were given from the humblest
dwellings, and the most scanty tables. Those
who live in perpetual plenty and never
know want or the fear of it, are apt 20 forget
to whom they owe their plenty, more than
those Hh, live one day without knowing
where the next lay supply is to come roln

Clerkship Of the House.

The name of Mr.. Forney, Pennsylvania, has
been mentioned in connection with the Clerk
ship of the next House Of Representatives,
as the Opposition candidate. Our impress
sion is, that if Mr.. Forney wants the Repub-
lican vote in the House for that Office, he can
have it. If he has friends enough outside of
that party to elect him, Git will require five
additional votes,) if he does not receive the
whole one hundred and eighteen Republican
votes Of the House, we are mistaken. Such
a step would be stronger rebuke to the Ad-
ministration than could possibly be given to
it in any other way.-Galena advertiser.

The Decay OF Land Monopoly.


A quiet, and yet important revolution is 60
ing on in our midst continually. 1t is the rev.
olution Of property, which is changing hands
in large amounts every day. That old class
who were once so potent here, the heavy
Real Estate Dealers, are fast decaying, and
will soon be numbered among the institutions
of the past Their subdivisions and additions,
and sections, and lots, and blocks, on which
they once based their claims to millionaire
ship, are rapidly melting away, and passing
into other hands. Foreclosures of mortgages,
executions, &C., are doing the business, and
crumbling away the structure of once large
fortunes. To endeavor to retain grasp on so
much property has been an uphill business
The tide was against the unfortunate person
attempting it, and it was but wearing out life
and patience in futile endeavor to keep the
head above water. The accumulation of tax
es and of interest added heavier loads to the
burden every day, and one by one the titles
to the different parcels pass into other hands,
uhth hotuiHS ouS HoihCotCoo
the once heavy operator"
Much of the property thus passes into the
hands ofmoney-lenders, many of whom are
non residents. They cannot hold it long, for
taxes would eat it up; and are thus COM
PEELED to put it in market at perhaps price
lower than the supposed real value--but one
approximating nearer to it than it was held at
by the original owners, who would not i'm
prove it themselves, or sell for reasonable
sum to those who would The property thus
passes finally into the hands of those who
should own ia class who will make it valu-
able and productive-who would have done
it long ago but for the ruinous policy which
prevailed. The homeless have better chance
to get homes now than ever before, and the
real estate owner who insists on his old exor-
bitant figures, overreaches himself by his own
cupidity. "Things is workin'," and the 'rev-
olution" in ownership is one of those things
that is workin for a future real prosperity
which is commencing even now, in cause,
though the effect is not perceptible just yet

WATER FOR THE ExrNGUIsHNENT OF FIRES.
Allow me, Gentlemen of the Council, to express
to you my views with regard to supplying the City
with water for the extinguishment of fires con-
tanning as they do the views of other leading men
in the Department.
To construct cisterns at every other street cor
ner on 4th street from Fort street down to Jack
son street rs soon AS practicable, extending the
number from time tO time as the finances of the
City shall warrant. Constructing them of wood
or brick if the latter. cemented. The cistern at
the junction of Fourth and Fort streets TO be filled
from the neighboring springs, by means of lead
pipe (such as used for the county buildings said
pipe connecting the cisterns. The overflow of one
cstern feeding the next, and so on, down to Jack
son street, where the cistern should have waste
pipe to carry off the overflow of water until such
time as the City shall build Water Works, when a
connection can be made with the csterns from
the main pipe, by means of al rod directly inside
of the cstern.
After fire plugs shall have been erected, these
cistsrus will be found to be of great advantage,
and in many parts of the country they used liz
preference to q plug. t.ilk for winter Use they
will be eminently adapted to our climate.
With these few views thrown together as they
are in rather discordant array, express the SEN
timeuts of the FreTen of st. Paul on this all i'm

the lives and property of our fellow citizens and
would urge upon your Hon. body to take the same

at the same periods, when there is always danger.
They should therefore undergo a course of this
