turn it over in their minds. Why should a
poor man who had KNOWLEDGE of apricnl-

turn it over in their minds. Why should q
poor man who had knowledge of agricul-
ture, and five or six children able to help
him, be wasting his time in these islands,
where so many are grasping for the same
loaf? After speaking of the fertility of the
land IN Minnesota, and the comparative ease
with which it is cultivated, the reverend
speaker said he had no desire to oyerdraw
the picture for them. If man went out
there without forecasting what he had to
encounter he would find himself in awkward
straits; but if they had elO0 in the savings
bank-and he had urged them for the past
six or seven years to lay by what they could
spare-an industrious wife and grown up
sons or daughters, he said to them, in the
name of God, ''Go out of Liver
pool -out of this atmosphere Of pov.
erty and misery and immortality"
Let chem write to Bishop Ireland, tell him
that they were going to take eighty acres of
land next year, that they wanted him to have
fifty acres ploughed for them this "fall, >" and
that they also required farm house. he
would have the house built and the land
ploughed. With 800 they could purchase a
span of horses, plough, and as soon as they
had paid up $537, the land was their own.
They could grow excellent wheat and pota-
toes, raise stock and poultry, and they would
soon become prosperous. They or their
children would not be exposed to the temp
tation to drink, because in the Catholic colo
MES no grog shop was allowed to be set up.

THE SUPREME COURT

Among some of the complaints to which
Mr.. Hayes, in his annual message, gives
voice, is the fact that the supreme court of
the United States is overburdened with busi-
ness, and as consequence the decision of
cases is greatly hindered to the great Iinoon-
venience and often to tho pecuniary injury
of litigants. There are now sufficient num-
Der of cases filed for a hearing before that
tribunal to occupy the Justices for three
years to come, and those having important
matters pending will be likely to be obliged
to possess their souls in patience for that
length of time before knowing their rights
or daring maintain them. The remedy sug-
gested by the attorney general and ap proved
by Mr.. Hayes, is the appointment of addi-
tional circuit judges and the creation of an
intermediate court of errors and appeals,
which shall relieve the supreme court of a
part OF it's jurisdiction, while a laraer force
is also obtained for the performance of cir
cult duties. 1t would involve, if ten addi-
tional circuit judges are appointed. an ex-
penditure at the present rate of salaries OF
not more than 100000 year, which wou,d
certainly be small in comparison with the
objects to be attained.
10 our mind the remedy is not an ADEQUATE
one. Nine times out of ten the litipants
who now carry their grievances to the SUI
preme court will never be satisfied with anv
decision by lower tribunal. The estab-
iishment of court of errors or appeals.

better plan, it seems to us, would be to re-

ST. ANDREW,S DAY.
The First Annual Supper and Ball of the
st. Andrews Society of St. Paul,

The First Annual Supper and Ball of the
St. Andrews Society of St. Paul.
The st. Paul St. Andrews society held
their first annual supper and ball at Pfeifer'e
hall, last evening. There was goodly COM
pany of ladies and gentlemen present, en-
bracing some of our leading Scottish oiti-
zens. Preliminary to the supper there was
an address by the president of the society,
Mr.. NJ. Taylor, followed by songs by various
members of the society, music by the Great
Union band, an address by DR.. Hamilton,
and various other enjoyable social exercises.
Finally, shortly before II O'Clock, the guests
marched into the commodious dining hall
adjoining, where fine cold collation., with
hot oysters and coffee, was spread by Booth,

hall, where they chased the glowing hours
with flying feet through programme com

one, highly creditable to the society. An
abridgement of the first part of the pro.
gramme, perhaps, would have been an i'm.
provement, and it might be we'll on future
occasions not to give both a supper and ball

REDUCE THE EXPENSES.

The report of the secretary of the treasury
conveys some very interesting and suggestive
facts connected with our finances that it
would be we'll for our citizens generally to
read and inwardiy digest. It is shown that
the total ordinary expenses for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1879, were, in round num-
bers, two hundred and sixty-seven millions
| an increase over the previous year Of nearly
thirty millions. The actual and estimated
expenditures for the current fiscal year, end
ing June 80, 1880, amount to the round sum
of two hundred and sixty four millions, and
FOR the succeeding year to two hun ired and
thirty light millions. The increased amount
expended last year was due largely to the
payment of the Halifax award and the arrears
| of pensions, though most of the departments
show an increase over 1878. There ia de-
6ciency in the sinking fund of over thirty
millions, but a small amount having been
transferred to that account during the year.
These enormous expenditures, actual and
estimated, indicate great prodigality on the
part Of our officials in the disbursement of
keep up the lavish establishments as far as
possible in the future. Dsdacting the PEN
sion roll and the interest on the public debt
the only two expenses that are attributable
to the late war, We find that the ordinary OK
penses of the government amount to the
| enormous sum Of nearly hundred and fifty
| million dollars annually. The last years
expenses of Bachanan's Administrations
rule in our history-were less than ninety
millions, which shows that the wants of our
Office holders have increased to the extent
of over sixty millions of dollars year, and
this after deducting literally for what are
known as war expenses.
| We suggest that it is about time reform
was instituted. The men who pay our taxes
are obliged to be content with less remuner-
alton for their labor than at any time since
1861, and it is nothing more than fair to de-
mand of their servants holding official
position that they likewise consent to re-
duction of their emoluments to- an ante-war
basis. There are too many officials who are
too extravagantly remunerated for very I'M
satisfactory work. Congress can begin at
the present session to apply the knife to all
excessive appropriations, and insist that Mr..
Sherman shall apply the surplus revenue to
a reduction of the public debt, so that the
interest account may be reduced as far as
possible.

TIE SPROUSE STOCK.

Messrs. Zahm & Mann Bid 1t OF at s. !, 400.
The entire stock and fixtures of A.
Strouses dry goods store were sold yester-
day morning by Sheriff King,1 The sale vas
attended by a large number Of Cry goods
merchants of this city, and representatives OF
several Eastern frms. The sheriff, after
making the preliminary arrangements,
stated that the stock Iouia
be sold in q lump
and the lease of the store at rent of 5000
per month would go with the sale if the pur-
chaser desired. The stock had been inven-
toried at $78, 900, and the terms of the sales
would be $1,000 down and the balance be-
fore Saturday night. Bids were then called
for, the sheriff announcing that the jadg-
ments in his hands amounted to $47, 600 and
he would reserve the right to reject bids
under that sum. The bidding commenced
at $25,OOO and rapidly advanced, to $49, 900,
at which point the sheriff announced
that the sale would be positive.
The bidders, among whom were noticed
representatives from Lindeke, Warner &
Schurmeier, William Lee, Esterly & Heine-
mann, D. w. Ingersoll & Co., Mannheimer
Bres., A. II. Strouse, and several Eastern
firms, then dropped out of the field, leaving
the matter to D. W. Ingersoll, of gersoll &
Co., and Henry E. Mann. The figures then
went up at $25 advances unit! $51, 300
was offered by Mr.. Ingersoll. Mr.. Mann
raised that sum $500 and the entire stock,
fixtures and lease were accordingly knocked
down to him for $51 400,

lieve the supreme judges of all circuit duty
SO as to enable them to devote their entire
tine to the consideration of causes that may
be brought before the supreme court proper.
BY adding. say, two more to their num-
Der, the work might be greatly expedited,
and the large business now on the
docket cleared off. Such course, however,
would involve the necessity of increasing
the number of cirouit judges also, or of re-
distributing their work. Three or four more
circuit judges could, no doubt, fill the de-
ticiency created by the retirement of the su-
preme judges from circuit duty, as there are
some whose labors are now insignificant and
might be increased without imposing any
grievous hardship upon them.
There is no doubt some Congressional ac-
ton needed regarding this matter. There
are plenty of good lawyers in both houses
whose practice in the supreme court will
enable them to sec the evils existing and
suggest better remedy than the establish
znent of intermediate courts that only tend
to hinder rather than facilitate litigation. If
it is the object to discourage the
people who may think themselves wronged
from seeking redress by legal means, it will
be accomplished in part by this extra ju-
dicial machinery. But this is not the true
idea of justice. Access to the courts ought
to be obstructed as little as possible, for
every citizen, no matter how humble, has q
right to recourse to legal remedies for iniu
ries he may suffer. BY speedily hearing and
deciding all causes much hardship would be
prevented, for it is no uncommon thing for
appeals to be taken to the supreme court for
the simple purpose of delay and in the hope
that compromises may be made pending the
hearing that will do an injury to one of the
contestants.

WHEREAS, The Congress of the United States

half to five feet depth Of water from the Gulf
to St. Paul; and
WHEREAS, This improvement will make st.

river commerce, requiring levee accommoda-
tons many miles in extent, for bargee, steam
ers, and water crafts of every descriptions: and
WHEREAS, The commanding position Of St.
Paul at the head of navigation of the Missis-
sippi river, is the one distinguishing feature
possessed by no other city, which gives her
prominence over all competing points and
makes her unrivaled as the coming metropolis
OF the Northwest; therefore
ltesotued, That the present limited levee ia
cllltles OF the city are wholly insufficient for
the necessities Of commerce to follow the con-
templated improvements; and that immediate
steps should be taken by our city authorities
to provide for the wants of the future by con-
demning the entire frontage of the river on

the owner of eighty acres of good land, and

the first year, if he sowed wheat in April, he
reaped the produce in August. He might
remark that the average return of wheat
throughout Minnesota was seventeen bushels
to the acre. Thus man OF once became
