THE BILL FOR DIVISION,
Minneapolis Attorneys Want Min
nesota Divided.

neSOta Divided.
The committee appointed by the Min
neapolis Bar association to draft bill
which will meet with the favor of Min
neapolis attorneys, has finished its la
bors, and the new bill, which is in
tended to take the place of the Davis
and Lind bills, with some of the features
of each, will be presented to the aSSocia-
sion in a few days for adoption. 1t is
entitled, "a Bill to Divide the State of
Minnesota Into Two Judicial Districts"
In this bill. all that portion of the state
lying east and north of the Mississippi
river, and north of and including the
counties of Stearns, Douglas, Grant and
Wilkin, is to form new district known
as the northern district of Minnesota.
The remaining counties of the state
are to comprise the southern district of
Minnesota, the present district court to
be that of the northern district.
1t is intended that the district attor-
ney and the United States marshal shall
act for both districts until 1894, at which
time the president is to appoint new
ones for each district; he is to be en-
powered to appoint district Judge for
the southern district.
The northern district is to be divided
into three divisions, known as the west
ern. northern and eastern divisions,
with court to be held in st. Paul and
Duluth, and Moorhead and st. Cloud
alternately for the western division.
The southern district is to be divided
in the same manner, with courts at Wi
mona, Minneapolis and Mankato.
The bill is a long one, but nothing
further is contained in the draft beyond
minor matters and the manner of diyid-
ing the appealed cases between Mime
apoliS and st. Paul.

The Northwestern Presbyterian

The Northwestern Presbyterian, to
which Rev. D. j. Burrell and other pas
tors of the denomination it represents
contribute, has a severe arraignment
for the city administrations method
of dealing with the social evil question.
which will be printed in its issue of
Saturday. The article is as follows:
THE SOCIAL EVIL LICENSED.
The public ought TO know the facts that
are given below and act upon them. We
should prefer not to mention so shameful a
matter. but that is false prudishness which
overlooks fiagrant sins Our fair and goodly
cities cannot afford to pollute themselves
with blood money. st. Paul has substan-
TALLY the same plan as her sister city.
In a leather-bound book in the clerks
office of the police court of Minneapolis
there is record which, rightly viewed, forms
one of the most infamous blots that ever
brought disgrace upon municipality.
1t tells i'll plain, unsensational style the
story of the unholy alliance which the city
has entered into with the most far reaching
evil that curses mankind. 1t is the record of
fines. or licenses to use filter term, collected
from the houses of i'll fame. The city is to-
day receiving from these houses a regular
stated license. 1t would not be technically
called such, it probably does not so appear
Ou any VI lLo DUbd
it is, nevertheless.
About six months ago it was decided that
1t would be best thereafter to license these
houses In this manner: To assess against
each scarlet woman who has house in
charge $40 per month: against each inmate
So per month. This plan has been followed
out regularly since about the 1st
Of September 1889. In order that
the readers of the Northwestern
Presbyterian may know that the foregoing
statements are based on accurate facts the
following table has been prepared by a COM
petent and accurate newspaper man. The
figures were obtained direct from the books
of the clerk of the municipal court, and as
such are presumably correct. They show in
a concise form the business transacted be-
houses of the city, Look at this table:

that the suspicion has been announced
that an effort will be made to have it

came up, and it was decided to adopt
fourteen feet as the uniform length

occasions as Supt. Bradley may desig-
nate. 1t was decided to fit up the base

part of the city. The superintendent
was ordered to arrange for an exhibit of
the Minneapolis schools at the National
Educational convention, to be held at

Judge Rea Decides an East Side
Real Estate Case.

A decision has been filed in the case
of Thomas F. Brown VS.. Farnham, Nor
rill ct al, defendants, which was tried
before Judge Rea without a jury in
October last. The suit involved the
title block 16. in st. Anthony Falls,
.and grew out of the complications at
tending the insolvency of the real estate
firm of Farnham d LOvejoy. 1t seems
that Brown was creditor of Loren E.
Lovejoy to the amount of S41. .237, ,and he
signed an agreement, in which he was
to redeem the real estate in question
from the foreclosure of mortgage held
upon it by Sophie P. Merrill, and hold
it in trust until the payment of the
debt. Judge Rea renders a deci ion

GERMAN MUNICIPAL LIFE.
DR.. Albert Shaw lectures Before
the Nationalist Club.


German Municipal Life and Ad-
ministration" was the title of paper
read 10y DR.. Albert Shaw at the meeting
of the Nationalist club at the Hotel
Brunswick last evening. The paper
was the result of the personal observa-
ton of the speaker, and was both
interesting and instructive. He laid
great stress upon the usefulness
of statistical information gathered by
the municipalities of Europe, especially
of the cities in Germany. During the
course of his remarks, he said the cities
of Germany were more tardy in making
municipal improvements than English
cities. but when once they made start
they kept on in a methOdical way and
did the word thoroughly. He paid par
tlcular attention to the municipal life
of Berlin, and went into the
details Of the organization Of the
municipal government, in which
civil service played most active part.
Men were selected for Office, not on ac-
count of the affiliations with this or
their fitness for the office. Sanitary
rules were rigidly enforced, and the
public health and welfare of the people
was carefully looked after. The tele-
graph and telephone were a part of the
postal system, and while giving the
people of Germany much better
service than can be had to-day in Amer
lea were a source of revenue to the
government. The gas and water sup
plies were another source of revenue.
and the street car lines, while paying
tax upon their gross earnings, besides
keeping the streets over which they
pass in repair, will revert to
the government at the end of
twenty years from the time
their franchise was granted. Private
slaughter houses and markets had been
done away with. and i'll their stead
great abbatOinS and public markets had
been established, which, while giving
the people much better service than be-
fore, became a source of proht to the
government. The profits derived from
these different sources of income paid
twO-ffths of all the expenses of the
government, which only left three-fifths
OF the amount to be raised by taxation.

A merely superficial scanning of this table
will show that there are, on an average, from
eighteen to twenty licensed houses of this
kind in Minneapolis; that there are all the
way from fifty to eighty inmates in a given
month-each house having from three to
eight or nine inmates-and that the license
amounts to about $1,000 per month. The
only figures obtainable are for the months
given. The actual, systematic licensing be-
gan in September.
For a time, under the new regime the
keepers OF the various houses were notified
by police officer that they should appear at
the Office of the clerk of the municipal court
and pay fine. and, even now, when the
system is supposed to have reached an ad-
yanced stage of development. occasionally
keeper has to be notified before she will pay
up; but, in the MAN, the keepers appear
once month at the above-named Office, say
about the Sth or 9th of the month. Then
something like this ensues:
You are charged with keeping house OF
i'll fame; guilty or not guiItyf'
"Guiltv-'
"How many inmatesl"
''FiVe''
"Seventy-five dollars"
That's all there is to It; the woman pays
the $50 for her own fine and So for each one
of The inmates, and goes her erring way with
the air OF one who has just transacted a leg
itimate piece of business with great munic-
ipality. In the record which is kept are the
names of all the keepers of the houses, their
address-street and dnumber-and the number
of inmates in each house.
The money thus paid in goes into the cof-
fers of the city. Over $1,000 per month is
being paid as a direct. undeniable revenue
from these houses that are known. numbered
and designated the keepers of which. with
out official notification, appear before an Off
Ger of the city and regularly pay into his
hands once a month stated, fixed sum.
Each city is receiving about S15, 900 per
annum coined in hellish traffic with those
who perpetuate in our midst the cruelest
curse of the centuries
If this meant lessening of the evil, there
might be reason IN the argument. But it has
no such result. On the contrary, the strong
arm of the municipality is thrown around
the evil, and those who frequent the houses
know that they are visiting places which are
licensed, and in which there is no peril of
public expo sure. Shall our cities license and
protect such sin? Shall they bargain with
such a vice?

1t Was La Grippe.

The health department has finally
succumbed to the inevitable and has
been prevailed upon to recognize la
grippe as fatal disease. Last week a
child died at the Maternity hospital,
and the hospital physician. DR.. Martha
Ripley, sent in a return to the depart
ment, giving the malady as the cause of
death. This was rejected and the
cause was changed to influenza. The
health department refused to accept
this also. and as result the coroner
was called. After the deliberations a
certificate was finally issued giving la
grippe as the cause of death.

carmen N. Smith and the committee
over which he presided thought that it

propose to cut down the reporters sal
ares certain amount each week, and
tnus make up the outstanding $500. In
