murderer. So far as the precedent of the
neighboring State of Indiana is concerned it
has just been declared in favor of brutal
murder. Readers of daily papers will re-
nseer the shocking details given last fall
of murder in the Indianapolis court house.
One Warren Tate, former Chicago gam
bier, had law suit in progress wherein
divers witnesses we're called to prove the
value of the real estate involved. One wit
ness named Lane did not place the valuation
high enough to suit Tate, and as the witness
was leaving the court room, the scoundrel
emptied his pistol into his victim and
in half an hour Lane was corpse. The
wailings and grief of his family were touch
ing in the extreme and excited great pity
with the multitude. Here was witness de-
liberately shot down while supposed to be
under the protection of the court, and on

CHICAGO is at loss to know what to do
with the memorial picture painted by Ar
nitage in memory of the Chicago fire. It
was received with gladness by the munich
pality, but by the public received but cold
reception. 1t was discovered that the
aesthetic taste of Chicago did not approve OF
painting that depicted the form of wo-
man devoid of the ordinary habilimenta
that are en- regal in Chicago, and hence the
picture, one of tho finest ever painted by
brush, has been buffeted from pillar to post
1t is now in the public library of the city
and owing to the fact that some of the
people there object to being shocked by the
representation of the human form divine,
ON canvas, it is seriously proposed by the
common council of the city to put the pic
ture up at rattle. We are of the opinion
that the scheme is good one, but we think
at the same time, that Armitage was a victim
of misplaced confidence.

The GLOBE does not wish to appear un-
charitable to even the humblest citizen of
st. Paul. 1t entertains the highest respect
for all those who have come here to spend
their fortunes or to make them. Yet it must
be permitted to remark that, unless some of
our old settlers change their ways, it will be
compelled to hail the day when our citizens
will be called upon to attend their funerals.
The city has grown rapidly, but these men
have contributed nothing to its growth.
They have been only barnacles, who have
fastened themselves upon US, without con-
ferring any benefits. It is about time that
they awoke from their lethargy and con-
tributed something towards improving the
city that has done so much for them.

An old Settler.

curious and antiquated parchment was
filed at the register of deeds Office yester-
day, the original entry of which was recorded
in March, 1858, and as showing the rapid
advancement of Minnesota in material pros
perity since those early days, the sheepskin
is a unique and striking commentary. The
deed represents the transfer of forty acres OF
land, situated in what is at present known as
Stinson's addition, (section 20, range ~
and town 20, New Canada township, to st.
Paul, which was sold by Edmund Rice and
wife to G. L. Becker, for what was then
considered the fabulous sum of $500.
The deed was relied yesterday for the pur-
pose of correcting an omission, and the
property alluded to, is now incorporated
within the city limits of st. Paul, and what
was then disposed of for a song, IS now estl-
mated to be worth over 100000, which
demonstrates that the wizard Time, in his
marvellous mutations of fortune, is after all
the only genuine Pactolos.

LITERARY ENTERTAINMENT

Given by the Franklin Lodge of United
WOrkmen.
A large audience assembled last night at
the literary and musical entertainment given
at their hall in Odd Fellows block by the
Franklin Lodge A. 0. q. w. The crowd
was so large that the capacity of the hall
was taxed to its utmost, and the ante-room
was called into requisition for the eager
throng to hear the choice selections of in
strumental and vocal music and
dramatic recitations. Before the
programme was fairly under way
the audience became as enthusiastically ap-
preciative as it was large. The general YER
dict was that all acquitted themselves ad-
mirably, and each received such acknowl-
edgment of their respective efforts that
clearly indicated it was more than an in
dulgent tribute to home talent. If anything
detracted from the pleasure Of the entertain
ment it was the length of Bro. Sheire's ad-
dress. While good enough in
precept or fancy, 1t became only
tedious by its consumption of time,
when SO much more was in store to please
and amuse. Special attention is accorded
Mr.. w. L. Anderson for his vocal efforts
gwen 1Or Tue eXCollouCo Will WulCu lib So-
lections were rendered and in obedience to
to the high approval accorded him in a
loud, and prolonged encore from the audi.
ence. Miss Gilbertie Davidson's voice, its
sweetness, power and exquisite melody is
familiar to the public. But she never sings
that wealth of encouragement is
not given her friends and admirers
for the future. Last night was no excep-
ton, and was IN feet more prodigal in pro.
misses than ever before.
Miss Bertha Rosenfeld shared the honors
and won marked appreciation in her recitals
She essayed the difficult selections, ''The
Greed of the Bells" and sThe Maniac" both
dissimilar in character, taxing to the utmost
the powers and fe1ibility of the voice. In
both she fairly e1celled, and was greeted
with rapturous applause. The other per
formers came in for fair share of the ap
proval, SO deservedly extended to all. The
entertainment was pronounced and mos

RAISING THE RENT.

An UntUise and Very Mistaken Policy.
To the Editor of the Globe.
ST.. PAUL, April 5, 1879.-1t is mistaken
policy of the owners of houses to raise the
rent for the coming year. 1t seems to me
such step at this present time is not calcu-
lated to benefit this growing city. The own
ers of houses take advantge of the present
situation, for there is a scarcity of dwellings,
as we'll as of suitable stores. But no city has
ever prospered for any length of time where
no inducements were offered to the new
corners to settle themselves and enjoy all the
advantages which other cities afford. Con-
sidering the present. state of business, the
small profit which is made, and the compare
tive small wages of the mechanic and labor
ing man, rent in this city is even higher now,
than it should be. Why now this increase?
To make it impossible for the store keeper
to remain in business, and for many others
to get along at all, this policy can only be
inaugurated. There is wisdom to learn from
other cities, which it seems our landlords
have not yet learned. The writer of these
lines would point out for an example
Indianapolis, Springfield, etc., where, five or
six wears ago, the wise landlords concluded
they might charge what they pleased for
their houses, but were sadly mistaken. To-
day the rule is reversed, and those who want
houses and stores can name their own terms,
for hundreds of dwellings, are vacant. Peo-
pie we're sensible enough to settle where they
could make living, and where not half their
income was demanded for rents. It will be
the same here unless far more liberal policy
is adopted. Rent to-day is comparatively
higher than at many other cities East and
West. It costs as much to live here as
almost any other city.
st. Paul possesses many advantages to
make most prosperous city. It is for the
interest of every citizen to use his best in
fuence that he can offer to every new conner,
the most favorable inducements to
make his home here. Capitalists who are
public spirited, and who care for the
future growth of st. Paul, should build at
least 200 cheap dwellings, as comfortably ar
ranged as possible, during this coming sum
mer. When they are completed they should
ask moderate, acceptable rent, even if the
money will bring no Is per cent. interest.
Every new conner adds to our prosperity. No
city was ever built up by an illiberal policy.
We have not here that enterprise which is
wanted. II seems to me many of our most
Daily globe., 1879-04-06

The people of St. Paul are greatly inter-
ested in the progress of the political debates
now pending in Congress, but they are still
more interested in the improvement of the
city in which they live. They offer a
premium for an act which shall knock off
the incrustations in which our old and
wealthy settlers have been fossilized, and
make of them men of the time, alive to the
true interests of the city. These men need
to be galvanized into new life, and male to
be of some service to the city that has given
them nourishment for so many years.

RENTERS ASSOCIATION.

The Landlords Organize Self Protection
Society.
There are tramps and there are tramps.
One class of this species of humanity are
those who are in the habit of renting house,
paying one months rent, and then refusing
to coue down with further equivalent for
shelter. Demand after demand may be
made upon them, but they are supremely in
different to any obligation laid upon them.
A call was accordingly issued as follows:
With view to the protection of that class of
our citizens who have houses to rent, it is pro-
posed to organize society having for its object
the communication to the members the names
of all delinquent tenants. 1t is often the case
that some s'dead-beat'' will occupy a house for
months, pay nothing, and then have to be
turned out by process Of law, at heavy costs.
When elected, they apply to other landlords
and thus they 60 from one to another, until all
lished, it shall be the duty of every member to
communicate the names of such delirquents
to the head Office, which information shall be
distributed to all the members of the asso-
citation.
In accordance with this call meeting was
held Friday evening, at which permanent
organization was perfected. There was q
very general expression in favor of the or
ganization. It often happens that man
will pay one months rent and then remain
three months and compel the landlord to pay
$2O to get him out. This class of people
or those who may be worse, is what the land:
lords wish to protect themselves against, ano
hence this association. The plan proposed
is for each member Of the association to re-
port the sshard cases. he may find, with the
particulars, to the secretary, who will record
them. All members of the association viii
have access to these reports and thus be en-
sbled to govern themselves accordingly. /
all house owners join as is expected it will
become hard work for beat to secure .

THE TRAMPS.
How They Operate-Disturbing the Catho'
lie Industrial School.


lie Industrial School.
The police have been persistent and sue
cessful in routing out the tramps from any
hiding in or near this city. The several
rendezvous they have from time to time
selected have been so constantly raided, that
plants are just as frequent that ''by twos''
these vagabonds are around in great plenty.
They besiege the residence portion of both
this city and Minneapolis, and demand q
livelihood in provender, ETC., from the fear
stricken women in the absence of the men
of the house. That they have rendezvous
from which to operate, has been something
more than supposed, and yesterday its
locality was learned.
The superintendent of the Catholic In
dustrial school, located we'll out on
Peasant avenue, came into police
headquarters yesterday with complaint.
The nature of it was that he was daily beset
with tramps and feared he'd be eaten out of
house and home if something more porten-
tous was not in store for him. The tramps
paid him visits in great numbers about
nightfall, and from this he was led to sup
pose they had place of hiding near his
home. He was not wrong, Tor on lnvestlga-
ton he soon found out that quite an array
of vagabonds had taken up quarters on
Finn's farm in cave on the river bank
Another gang had sheltered themselves in a
similar cave on the opposite side of the
river.
One party work Minneapolis, while the
other pay particular aud vigorous attention
to st. Paul. At nlghtfall these gangs re-
turn to their habitations and make
night hideous with their orgies. They
came in ladened with plunder, rations il
both the sraw and cooked state, and fume
up the VIII ole vicinity with the cooking o
their feasts. They are luxurious rascals,
and wash down the substantials with ire
quent draughts of whisky. AS the nigh:
grows on, the fun ripens into high and louG
tone ribaldry, accompanied with the dis
charge of fire arms.
They are becoming the DEVILS own terror
in that neighborhood, and the wholesom,
fear is entertaiped that they will do SOM
serious damage yet. Their strength is esti
mated at fully fifty, with daily additions Il
the rollicking fellowship, which runs tn
night away in debauchery, and swaggers tn
day through in begging.

prominent men are too narrow minded, con-
sidering only present interests, but not the
true maxim of future growth. If this mar
row-minded policy of our landlords is to be
enforced for any length of time, venture to
say instead that st. Paul should be city in
less than fifteen years of 100 900 inhabitants,
as it surely will be by adopting liberal
policy, it will be then an overgrown village,
and wherever you will 60 then, you will read,
