LEGISLATIVE MINUTE.

It is curious that the good bills defeated
in the legislature generally fail through the
opposition of ignorance, while the bad ones
pass by the aid of ignorance.
A law limiting the number of bills intro
duced each session. and restricting 1oea
legislation to town boards for authority,
might not be an evil The bulk Of legislative
time at present is given up to purely local
bills
In the session Of 1887 three general rail
road bills had been introduced within the
first ten days. The present session is in its
third week, and not a railroad bill yet.
The payment of the hotel bills of legislators
by parties for whom they have done official
favors is becoming as great an evil as free
passes were.
The inability of the members to draw mile
age for out one round trip may explain why
so many dislike to make weekly trips home.
1t is a strange circumstance when man is
elected to the legislature who is not fond OF
women, wine and song. The more gray
headed the member, the greater his apprecia-
ton of these fruits Of Adams fall.

perhaps fifty negro men and women, also
white women and host of hangers

THE NEW OPERA HOUSE.

We are gratified to observe the
promptness with which the GLOBES
suggestion relative to the building of a
new opera house was adopted by the
moneyed men of the city. In another
column we give in detail the plans
which matured yesterday, by which a
local syndicate obtained from the
DAVIDSON estate the property lying in
the block bounded by Fourth. Wabasha,
Fifth and st. Peter streets, upon which
they propose Immediately to erect an
opera house that will be credit to the
city. The names of the gentlemen as
ISOLATED with the enterprise are
sufficient guarantee that it will
be pushed forward to success
full completion. No more eligible
site for first-class theater could have
been found in the city than the one Sc
lected. 1t is centrally located, on the
cable line. near the court house, post
office, the leading hotels. and in the
heart of the business district. 1t is
understood that the main entrance to
this magnificent temple of art will be
on Fourth street, but there will be
entrances and exits leading to and from
all the four streets. We infer from

CHURCH ATTENDANCE.

some of the recent explorations show
that the churches in New York city are
falling good deal behind the growth
of population. The attendance does not
increase as the human tides swell lin the
broad ways without. In one OF the
more thickly settled parts of the city,
it is stated that all the Protestant
churches have adopted the plan of send
ing out ten persons in each 100 of the
membership, on Sundays, to persuade
people to come to the churches. 1t is
rather a novel scheme to drum up
church attendance in this way, and its
operation may afford some solution OF
the problem how to get people within
the gospel precincts.

So you're in lover Oh. well I know

In loving one girl passionately.
You feel that life is full Of bliss;
That heaven cannot sweeter be
Than life with this dear, pretty missl
You can't deny that you're in glee;
For so was /.
You've told this maiden that your life
Would be failure and curse
If she did not become your wife
And take you soon for better or worse.
An, yes, you've told her many times
All this, and penned her notes in verse,
In which, I'm sure, the ancient rhymes
OF '1ove" and dove you'd oft rehearse;
For so did /.
You've told her that she's lovelier far
Than any girl you e'er looked on;
That like unto an evening star
Her eyes were brilliant-and anon
You said her voice was like flute.
Oh, yes, 1 know how maids are won
What's that? She then refused your suiti
You say that you were sat uponf
Well, SO was |.
