The Democratic party is right in
asserting that unnecessary taxation
is unjust taxation, says an exchange.
1t is right in demanding that the
surplus revenue be stopped, not
spent. 1t is right in holding that
the taxes to be first reduced are
those which bear hardest upon the
greatest number of people-namely,
the war taxes upon the necessaries
of life. Every word Of the Republi-
can President and every act of Re-
publican Congress which antagoni-
yes these everlasting right and true
Democratic principles will hasten
the day of the second overthrow of
their party. The plutocratic ten
denotes and monopolistic affiliations
of the Republican party will inevita-
bly, weaken it with the people. The
Democrats have only to be true to
their principles, united in action and
wise in the selection Of leaders to
pluck a final victory out of the pres
ent reverse.
Tens of thousands of human be-

stated, has been forced to appeal for

that if the situation in Illinois is not
already as bad as in Indiana it soon
will be. 1t will be remembered
that delegation of these poor, de-
luded miners visited Harrison be-
fore the election, when be was hold

dance with Mat Quay's instructions,
and they carried banners inscribed,
''F ee Trade and Starvation and
Harrison and Plenty" Some keen
ly cutting things might now be
said at their expense, but, in their
present pitiful, starving condition
which must excite the sympathy of
everybody possessing spark of
humanity, it were unmanly to say
them. But how are we to character
ize the gigantic, heartless liars who
deceived them. the men, for instance,
who marshaled their Harrison del
egations in line and placed in their
hands the Harrison and Plenty"
banners.

1t is proposed to organize syndicate
composed of leading citizens of ST.
Paul, together with some publicspir-
tied citizens of Minneapolis, and build
on this ground an improvement which
will be both an ornament and benefit
to the city. A contract for the purchase
of the property owned by
THE DAVIDSON ESTATE
was made last evening between Col.
Lowry and Thomas p. Wilson, repre-
senting the gentlemen who propose TO
be interested, and Col. James H. David
son, on behalf of the estate. There
are number of st. Paul citi-
zens who have been consulted.
and have given their approval of
this project. 1t is understood that the
st. Paul syndicate embraces, among
others, Messrs. p. H. Kelly, A. Fl.
Wilder, William Lindeke. Arnold Kali
man, Robert Mannheimer, George r.
William Bickel. Theodore Schurmeier
and Thomas P. Wilson. There will
also be interested in this project
a Minneapolis syndicate composed of
Col. Thomas Lowry, r. b. Langdon,
Charles II. Prior, Clinton B.. Morrison.

Martin. Doriius Morrison. Thurston

The Germania bank purchased 100
feet square at the corner of Fifth and
WabaSha streets, but its new bank
building will only occupy 50x100 feet on
the corner, having 50X100 feet next to
the 25X100 Just contracted for. unOccu-
pied. 1t is probable, if satisfactory
arrangement can be made, that this
property will also be secured by the
syndicate.
THE GENERAL PLAN
is to occupy $50 feet OH Fourth street,
extending through to Fifth street, with
grand opera house, tire-proof in every
respect. with ample open areas, and
with an arcade occupying the re-
mainder of the ground, with OPEN
ings from st. Peter street through
the Dickinson block, and wide open
ings to Fourth, Fifth and Wabasha
streets. The preliminary plans have
not assumed a definite shape yet, but
from the character of the gentlemen
who are interested it is certain to be
an improvement worthy of the city and
of those who are interested in the enter
prise.
The expectation is that it will involve
an outlay of at least $780, 1000. and with
the Arcade block addition it will doubt
less pay an ample income to the own
erS. AS soon as an organization can be
made and plans perfected work will be-
gin and it will be pushed as
rapidly as possible, SO as to
have the opera house ready for the
opening of the theatrical season next
fall or winter. The disaster which be-
fell the Grand and left st. Paul without
a tirSt-claSs place of amusement will thus
result in magnificent and costly struct-
ure that will accommodate the amuse-
mentioning public.

been hemmed in on all sides, while the
former is comparatively free from

answered without reference, and after
some desultory discussion OH insurance
the following resolution, introduced by
Aid. Leithauser, was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That the common council ap-
prove of the action of the committee on pub
lie buildings, city property and markets in
offering to lease the Market hall to Lonis N.
Scott for theatrical purposes to the LIST day
of June next at a rental of 500 per
week, payable weekly. The said Scott in
addition thereto to pay for lighting the
same, and to assume all liability for
the nights said Market hall is now
rented. That said committee are instructed
to have a contract prepared to carry ut
their agreement with said Scott. Provided,
however, that said Scott shall pay the addi-
tional cost of insurance, if any. caused by
said lease, and that the lease shall date from
the 4th day of February, 1889.

nance was passed giving authority to

There has been considerable agita-

since the Grand was destroyed, and ne
gotiations have been pending to secure
some suitable site on which to erect
house commensurate with the needs of
this city. These negotiations culmi-
mated last evening in securing a loea-
ton and ample grounds for the
erection of a opera house and arcade
building on block 81. st. Paul Proper.
The street railway company owns the
westerly fifty feet of that block, extend
ing from Fourth to Fifth streets, and
now occupied by the Dickinson block.
Next to this Col. Thomas Lowry owns
50Xl50 feet on Fourth street, and he
recently contracted for the pur-
chase of 50xl50 feet on Fifth street
lying behind that which he
already owned. The estate of W. F.
Davidson owned 100 feet on Fourth
street extending through to Fifth street,
being lots and 4 and and 10, block 81,
and also 25 feet fronting on Wabasha
street and extending back 100 feet. All
this property, comprising the Dickin-

lot 25 feet in width on Wabasha, has

At the opening of the special term of

had brought with her three-year-old

refrained from hanging on the floor,
suggested too plainly their suffering.

story to tell. She stated that she and
her husband were each tWenty-eight
years old and were united in the bonds
of wedlock about four years ago. Her
husband is a brakeman and enjoys an
income of $50 per month, all of
which is used for himself, with

that on several occasions her lord went

dent of the Chicago, st. Paul & Kansas
City, has theory which, though posi-
bly, UtopIan, may still be the entering
wedge to the solution of the rate-cutting
problem. II am heartily in favor of
Iegalizing POOLS" said he, land think
congress should pass an act which will
give US a Western, Southwestern
and Northwestern pool. Each
of these three must, however,
be separate, as the needs of
one section of the country do not en-
body the desires of another. Let the
interstate commerce commission De the
high tribunal, and refer rate troubles
to that body. All the roads lying with
in the territory of certain pool could
agree to schedule of rates, and if any
line desired to raise OF lower the exist
ing tariff it would be necessary to give
ninety days notice to the interstate
commerce commission. That body
could, after looking into the merits of
the case, decide upon it favorably OF
adversely"

alimony from defendant for the sup

divorce was promptly granted and the
matter OF alimony will be decided here
after.
The next case called was that of An
ton Fischer against his absent wife,
Dina Fischer. He said that he was
fortv-five years old and his wife was of
the ripe age of sixty. His principal
grievance was that his wife who
lives in Europe, refuses to
come to America and live with him.
She gave as her reason that this was
very bad country, with no religion
worthy the name, and that the country
was not conservative enough to suit
her. She wrote in one of her recent
letters that America, and especially st.
. Paul and Minneapolis, was the most inn
moral and degraded places on earth. She
vowed that while she was Catholic she
would be his wife, and if he did not
care to come to her she would stay
where she is and remain faithful wife.

Aid. Cullen was the first to obtain the

were utterly without sufficient amuse-

was for the general veal of the COM

leased for the purposes of a temporary
theater. Manager Scott, who was in at
