dred miles beyond the Missouri will pour an
additional volume of business into Sc. Paul.
The building Of the grand union depot, the
extensive freight buildings and shop extern
sions of the st. Paul aud Pacific, the North
ern Pacific freight depot, the Milwaukee and
st. Paul depot filling the block from Jackson
to Sibley street, the st. Paul and Sioux
City shops, the new market house, will all give
st. Paul spirit of life and animation which
has not been lately witnessed. AS work will
be in progress upon all of these enterprises
at the same time, there will be an active de-
mand for labor and no idle men in st. Paul
the coming summer.
The demand for places of business and
residences far exceeds the supply. There is
not vacant store below Wabashaw street in
the city, and no eligible location elsewhere
lacks tenant There never has been time
when the future of st. Paul looked so bright
as to-day. Forward, march.

Where the Fire Cister,s Should be Located.
To the Editor of the Globe l#
z ST. PAUL, Feb. 2S.-While the matter of
the construction of q cistern for supply of
water in case of fire in the Sixth ward is un-
der consideration, would it not be well for
those who have the matter in hand to look
about a little and see if there is not another
locality than the one mentioned that needs
the improvement more. To one who has no
personal interests in the matter, it would
seem that if the Sixth ward can have but one
cistern, that it should be located on the
south of Isabel street, somewhere between
Bridge street and Clinton avenue. cistern
in the above locality would be a safeguard to
much more property, both public and pri-
vate, than the one mentioned. Here we have
the postofice, Humboldt school house, Gin
ton avenue Methodist church, Catholic
church, four grocery and general merchan-
disc stores, drug store, boot and shoe store,
carriage and blacksmith ship, Farmers hotel
and other places of business, and as many
private dwellings besides the above within a
radius of half a mile as could be reached
within the same circle of the proposed local
ity, with the additional advantage of never
failing spring of running water that can be
very cheaply utilized for filling the cistern,
thus doing away with the necessity of having
to pump the water with an engine. That
two cisterns are needed cannot be denied, but
if we can't have but one, let us have it where
it will do the most good. A CITIZEN.

A BILL for constitutional amendment,
the effect of which will be to subject church
property to taxation, was introduced in the
House by Mr.. Cooper last evening. Accord
ing to the report of the State auditor, it ap
pears that there is about seven million dol
lars worth of such property in the State
that pays no taxes, and the question of
whether or not this is just has already at
tracted considerable interest and discussion
among the members of both houses. It is
net probable that the subject can receive the
discussion that its Importance demands at
this session of the legislature, and we pre-
sumo Mr.. Cooper does not expect to have it
passed, but submits it merely as feeler to
start public discussion which he esteems
will be of great benefit to the public.

FORWARD, MARCH,.

All signs point to the dawning of an era
the present season which st. Paul has not
witnessed since the wires flashed the news
that Jay Cooke had failed. The lack of
confidence in business ventures, the decline
of values and the commercial distress which
prevailed throughout the country reached
st. Paul, as it did every other locality, to
greater or less degree. With St. Paul it
was less degree, for no prominent bank,
and no wholesale house closed it's doors. No
other city of corresponding or greater i'm
portance than st. Paul can show such
record. Every other city was shaken by
some great local commercial disaster, but
st. Paul fortunately escaped, and in all the
years which have followed no blight of the
kind came. There has been q business
depression, it is true, but even this has been
largely counterbalanced by immigration and
railroad extensions, which have brought new
business to the State and to st. Paul. We
are thus enabled to present record which,
upon the whole, no other city in the country
can supply. @
While this unparalleled commercial record
is presented, our new era will be especially
marked by additional manufacturing ad-
vancenent. The boom project is no longer
project simply, but an established fact.
One of the largest numbering firms in the
Northwest is constructing the boom and will
operate it when it is completed. Capitalists
are already seeking or have secured sites for
large mills, both for lumber and Touring
purposes. The boom solves the problem of
cheap fuel for manufacturing purposes and
opens the door for all kinds and
grades of new enterprises. The
only really, reliably profitable mills
at the Falls of St. Anthony are those which
are run by steam. The precarious, uncertain
and expensive water power is being sup
planted by steam, and with the coming
facilities for st. Paul, there need be no fur
Their question relative to our ability to cope
with any point in manufacturing. We can
more than cope, for st. Paul is commercial
emporium, full fledged, and affords ready
market for all articles whlch she can manu-
facture. Instead of, as in many cases, arti-
cles being manufactured in one city and sold
in another, st. Paul combines both facilities.
This is the metropolis where all the sur
rounding country comes to make its pur-
chases, and articles of our own manufacture
will find ready market without paying trib-
ute to middlemen. Being wider field,
broader and more comprehensive market
than any other in this region, st. Paul neces-
sarily offers manufacturing advantages which
parties interested will not be slow to en-
brace.
One of the great events for ST. Paul is the
settlement of all legal complications relative
to the ST. Paul and Pacific railroad. This
not only gives us the permanent advantages
of that great line, but the terminus of the
Northern Pacific road also. The completion

And Recommends It's Passage-A Tramp
Bill Also Agreed to-Report on State
Prison Cruelty-Debating the Second
State Prison Project-A Cloud of Bills
Passed and Introduced.
THE SENATE.

The session of the Senate yesterday was
essentially talking session, the greater part
of the day being spent in committee of the
whole, and every measure that would admit
to debate was discussed from Dan to Ber-
sheeba. The condition of business is such
that this can be INDUCED in to an almost linn
itless extent and still keep up with the dis
posal of bills in the House. The opinion
seems to prevail that many bills already
passed in the Senate will fail to reach third
reading in the House for want of time.
The bill relating to insolvent debtors was
thoroughly discussed, was perfected by sew
eral amendments, and recommended to pass.
The bill providing for the punishment of
trarnps was lengthily discussed, amended or
patched up to suit the various ideas as to
how severe tramp law would be just and
expedient, and was finally recommended to
pass In such form as to render the ordinary
tramp, or the tramp with a loaded shotgun
on his back, liable to imprisonment in the
county Jail for 8 period not exceeding three
months, but if he threatens to shoot, he rem
ders himself liable to imprisonment in the
State prison. The bill also authorizes
county commissioners to make tramps work,
if they can.
The bill providing for the reimbursement
of persons who have paid an inebriate asylum
tax was definitely postponed, but not until
many excellent speeches were made on both
sides of the question.
Senator Reaney's bill relating to the OBJ
struction of navigation on the Mississ ippi
river, was recommended to pass.
The House bill relating to the election of
all the members Of the legislature in 1882,
being bill intended to compel a new ap-
portionment, was referred to the judiciary
committee, with instructions to report on
Monday, it being the opinion OF some of the
lawyers that the bill is unconstitutional.

The President has succumbed to the East

THE HOUSE.


The House has reached that stage when
most of the members appreciate the value
of time, and good deal of business was
transacted yesterday. First of all an at
tempt was made to dispose of the bills on
general orders, but it was found that the
job involved too much debate, and after
spending all the forenoon and part of the
afternoon in the discussion of the bill for
the location of second State prison, it was
decided to proceed with the calendar. Fifty
odd bills were passed in the most expeditions
manner, and by the time the evening recess
had been reached the calendar was cleaned.
There was not q quorum at the evening ses-
sion, but thirty-nine bills were introduced
and read, nearly all those of a local charac-
ter being placed on file for third reading.
The week closed with fair showing of re-
suits accomplished.

The latest New York mystery-the
murder of Mrs. Hull--is mystery still
aud the probabilities are that 1t will, like
the Nathan mystery, remain unsOlved.
Mrs. Hull in house full of people-ser-
wants and boarders-was found at Z
O'Clock in the morning dead in her bed,
bound hand and foot and gagged The
general belief is that the murder was
committed by some one resident in the
house or by burglars admitted by some
one of the servants or inmates. But
the police and the experts have so far
failed 10 find a single sign of evidence
tending TO fix guilt upon any one person
or number of persons. The fact that
there was no sign of forcible entrance in
TO the house is significant and should be
warning to those who keep costly plate
and jewelry or large sums of money IN
their houses, and under the eyes of serv.
ants of whose character they frequently
know nothing. Professional burglars
never work upon guesses and uncertain
ties. They locate the money or plate be-
fore they attempt to take it. An unfaith-
full servant is generally the means OF
communication between the burglar on
the outside and the valuables on the in.
side. The information given by the ser
want enables the burglar TO act with Ger.
tainty, and 10 secure the things he Gov
cts. These are hints which should be
acted upon by those interested.
