Raising the Rents.

To the Editor of the Globe:
Last wear the writer of these lines published
an article against the policy, which was gen
erly adopted by the owners of houses to ad-
vance the rents to very high figure. This
year, and especially at this time, our landlords
continue to raise the rents still higher. The
poor people and especially the laboring class
fnd it, in many cases, Impossible to pay these
extraordinary high rents. It is true the
owners OF houses have right to do with
them what they please, but there are principles
involved which ought to be we'll considered.
It would have been surely better for the son
of Solomon, the young king, if he had listened
to the voice of the people to lessen their bur-
den, but not doing so the government
was divided. The same truths
are applicable here. There is real
and an imaginary prosperity. Every city of
prominence in this country, as well as Others,
has been built up by the enterprise, and an
earnest cooperation OF all classes OF people.
It takes the merchants, the mechanics, the
laboring men to build up city. st. Paul has
a great future in store, but Its future pros
perity will be retarded if our landlords will
continue to raise the rents Many citizens
Will be compelled to leave the city, because
they cannot afford to pay the high rents.
Others are, under the force of circumstances,
compelled to stay and pay the rents asked for,
but if they are unable to make both ends meet,
they will have to make different arrangements.
If our rich citizens are really enterprising, and
will make this one of the most fourishing
cities of the country, at least five hundred
cheap houses should be erected and rented at
a fair percentage of the capital invested. If
they, however, wish to drive many useful cit
liens away, then their policy of raising the
rents in an eXtravagant manner will secure
this end. Besides from areligious standpoint,
Is it right to take advantage of the poor?
Will they enter the kingdom of heaven who
think only of themselves and care not for
their fellowmen2 Religion N cans to act justly
and to practice charity. Venture to say many
will not enter the realm of eternity who think
now mds ley making is the only real object of
life. ONE OF THE PEOPLE.

KENTUCKY SENATE AMENITIES
A Pleasant Matinee in the kentucky Leg
islature-A Drunken Senator Calls An
other Liar and Wants to Fight.

FRANKFORT, KY, April 21.-The most
shameful affair that ever disgraced the Ken
lucky Legislature occurred this afternoon in
the senate. The question under consideration
was the bill to remit $4,000 to Jones s. Co.,
penltentiary lessees, and Senator George was
making a very effective speech against it. In
the course of his remarks he took occasion to
reject very seriously upon Jones integrity.
Senator Hayes, who was irresponsible
through intoxication, resented Georges state
ments, and retorted in very fierce personal
abuse. He called Senator George liar and
other vile and opprobrious epithets on the
floor of the senate, and made break for him
as if to strike him. The lieutenant governor
called upon the sergrantat-arms to take
Hays out of the chamber, but Senator Car
penter stood at the door and kept it shut.
Others senator's rushed to the rescue. The
confusion reminded one of q California
camp. Hayes approached George in a menac-
ing attitude, when the latter took him by the
collar and was about to shake him, but mem
bers nterfered, and parted the august sena-
tors. The house was in session and scores OF
representatives rushed in to witness the riot
Senator Hayes apologized to the speaker
and the senate, but stated that he declined to
retract one word of the insult he had used to
Senator George.
George was very cool throughout, and is
regarded as dead game. Perhaps the end is
not yet, but it is thought that when Hayes
gets sober he will apologize.
