INTERVENTION DEMANDED.

The proposition made by Judge Belford in
Congress that this government should take
some action relative to the brutal persecution
of the Jews in Russia is eminently proper.
The Russian brutalities are disgrace to civ
ization and 60 far to destroy, if not abso-
lutely ooliterate, all sympathy with
the Russian government in its contest
with Nihilism. The brutality which the
Russian government permits, if not absolutely
eneourages,to be pracsiced upon the Jews, ,is the
same cowardly spirit of barbarism which led
to the assassination Of the Emperor.
Not only the United States but every civlliz-
&c nation should intervene. to prevent
the further display Of their character
iftics by the brutal Russians. The world has
has reached period of ofeDllghtenment too great
to permit such revolving crimes to be practiced
by any nation. In the dark and unenlightened
periods ofthe worlds history when lust and
brutality reigped supreme, such scenes as
those witnessed in Russia during the past year
might have been expected, but that they
should occar in the nineteenth century is
beyond comprehension. The details OF the
atrocities are too cruel and indecent to be
printed, but they are OF the vilest and most
fendish description.
The present Car deserves the fate of his pred
eceesor for allowing his people to perpetrate
such crimes against civilization and the gov
ernment OF the United States should formally
demand restraining action on his part. Not
only this, but call should be madeup every
other civilized nsticn to Join in this demand.

Of the Third ward thousands of dollars
by his Watchfulness relative to public i'm

TIE CITY rRBASURYSHIP

On Tuesday next the voters OF St. Paul
will be called upon to select a City Treas
urer. Geo. Reis, the Democratic nomi-
nee, has been deputy treasurer for several
years. His integrity and faithfulness in
the Office is conceded by ALL His
experience IN the office is absolutely in
valuable, and no new man can posi-
by fill the requirements. No assessment
for public improvements in the city car
be collected until they have carefully
passed through the treasurer's books. The
least little slip will be taken advantage
Of to upset assessments. No man is fit fol-
the Office who is not painstaking, in.
dustrious and experienced man, as wei
as of unstained integrity.
The Republican nominee - Gov. Mar
shall-was selected not On account of hi
fitness, but apparently on the genera
principle that his party owes him
living. For twenty years or more he has
almost continuously been in some public
position, and no sooner has one term ol
service been ended than another is in.
vented for his. especial benefit. He
retired on the first of January from q
long term of service as railroad commits
sioner, and Immediately received q fed
eral appointment as inspector of land
Offices and land sales, lucrative posi-
ton, which he now holds, and to which
he now desires to add the city
Ireasuryship. His theory is that the
city treasurer has q sort OF sinecure and
that he can secure double salary by re-
tanning his federal Office while serving as
treasurer.
To the ordinary mortal, leaving out the
impropriety and impracticability of re-
tanning both positions. it would seem that
Gov. Marshall had been sufficiently cared
for at the public expense. The attempt
to hold two positions is not attractive and
the popular feeling is to vote for Geo.
Refs.
This is correct.

of an alderman is one hundred dollars per

EMIGRATIoK is believed to be the only
safety valve for the densely and vastly
oven populated cities and provinces of the
German Empire. A contemporary has this
to say: OF the large cities in Europe, Berlin
ranks next in size to London and Paris-the
census of last year giving it ,0O0 inhabi-
tants. In 1850 il had but 4O0, 900, a gain OF
700,o00in thirty years-thus doubling and
nearly trebling its number. Nor is Berlin ex-
ceptional from other German cities in rapid
growth. Dresden in 1850 had 10000 inhabi-
tants, and now it numbers about 10000;
Breslau thirty years ago had 100, 600, and at
present it numbers $50 600; eighty years ago
Munich had $4,000; thirty years ago 0.000,
and last year 230,0 inhabitants. Not only
these cities, but all the German cities, and also
the towns, show the same remarkable growth.
And this growth is not oocasioned by immi-
grafton from outside the empires border, as
in America, but from the peoples literally
fulfilling the scripture commands to o"increase
and multiply and replenish the earth.'' It is
seldom that a German mother has ,ess than
eight or ten children, while it is common fo,
them to have twelve and fifteen and not un-
common for even higher numbers. Pray don't
have any anxiety lest Germany becomes do
populated and ruined by the enormous emf
grafton that is constantly taking place to
other. countries. and especially to America.
The country is already over-populated; it has
more mouths than it has bread to give them;
more hands than it has labor to perform. The
great problem which Bismarck and the gov
ernment at present are trying to solve is what
to do with the increasing millions of the fu-
