FAyoRs RECIPROCITY.
DR.. Day Talks of Finance and
Tariff.-ReciprOcit Is His Hobby.

DR.. David Day was "a Henry Clay
protectionist, and has been Republic
can of the Blaine school. He has of
late modified his original views as all
ultra protectionist. He said yesterday:
81 believe in the Blaine reciprocity
theory. IfGermany and Italy will not
admit our pork and corn free of duty, l
would not permit their wines. gew-gawS
and dog heads to come into this coun-
try. A country that imposes a duty on
our products should not be patroniZed.
| would let5the American children go
without dollssand toys forever before i
would buy one from them. If all the
European nations were opposed to free
trade with US, and the ocean were
made UP of oil instead of water,
l would favor giving ninety
days notice to all people to get off it
and then apply match. l would abso-..
from coming overhere to carry off our
money when they will not buy from us
on equal terms. The great question of
the tariff now is not a question of pro-
tecting labor or infant industries, be-
cause it is clear that the tariff does not
do SO. 1t is solely question of the bal
ance of trade and whether that is
against us to the extent of absorbing
ourmetallic money. i have seen three
money panics in my time. The cause
was an ABSORPTION of the hard money of
the country by foreign nations. Then
our paper currency would depreciate
and panic follow. IeXpect such an
other experience within three years.
| oppose the free trade principles advo-
Gated by Joe Wheelock and others of
his class. They are English. They
read English papers and reflect their
theories.
1.-THE true principle is reciprocity.
Prohibit the immigration of pauper la
Dorers and establish free trade on nee
essaries with those countries that will
give us free trade. 1 don't believe in
going over to free trade Republicans
because they take the English idea. 1t
would be better to go over to the Demo
cratic party. Its theory is the better
one. The day has come when a radical
revision of the tariff is demanded. Take
the duty off articles not produced by us.
and if that would leave confusion in
some classes. as in that of herbs and
medicines. wipe out the duty on the en-
tire class"

THE UNITED STATES COURTS.
How They Sit, and the Extent of
Their Jurisdiction.

How They Sit, and the Extent of
Their Jurisdiction.
An inquiry addressed to the GLOBE
relative to federal courts. and the COM
mencement of trials therein, may be
answered in a general way.
The United States begins all its GRIM
nal prosecutions and civil actions in
the district court. The civil actions be-
tween persons, companies or corpora
lions, and in which the United States is
not a complainant. are begun in the
circuit court. All suits OH the equity
side of the court, being causes
which involve questions of law
simply, are brought i'll the cir
cult court. The district court is
not.a chancery court. The amount in
controversy must exceed $4,000, exclu-
sive of interest and costs, to give fed
eral court jurisdiction. Suits between
citizens of the same state cannot be
maintained in the federal courts. There's
issa judge for each district court. Each
state has ohe or. more districts. There
are ten circuits insthe United States, for
each of which there is a circuit judge.
The district judge, the circuit judge and
one of the ten supreme court judges sit
on the circuit bench. :. Il

Tuneful Fire Laddies.

At fire department headquarters the
city has furnished piano with which.
the firemen may while away the weary
hours between alarms with tunefuI,
song. A number of them have excel,
lent voices, and every evening all the
men about the building gather in the
room up stairs and hestrainSs of Little.
Anne Rooney" ''Mctiinty, and. The
Notices Framed Upon the Wall'' can
be heard. A number of outsiders come
there quite regularly to listen and to-
take part in the festivities, and among
the most welcome is a darkey with a
magnificent bass voice. He is black as
sin, has a fiat nose, lips that CULVER like
mountains Of jelly and a mouth like the

a solo he closes his eyes, opens the gulf

FOR CENSUS CONSIDERATION.

Under One Roof, in ST. Paul, Live
Thirty-Six Persons. l
The Minneapolis papers have cited, as
an instance of census fraud in st. Paul,
where thirty-four persons had been
enumerated as living in single one
story house. They claim that such a
state of things is ridiculous and
shows fraud on its face. A little
one-story cottage on University ave-
hue, near Union Park, proves
bow little the Minneapolis papers
know of the gregarious qualities of
our Scandinavian population. This
cottage is not over l5x25 feet square,
and contains, besides the ground floor,
windowless attic whose walls are
simply the roof, In this cottage and
its appendageS there are now living
thirty persons, and until within few
days there were from thlrty-f0ur to
tnirtysiX. They are herded in the
lower rooms and in the attic like sheep.
There is a tent in the yard which ac-
commodities several, and number more
sleep in the barn. They all eat in the
house, and sleep either there OF on the
premises, and no other place can be
called their residence.

Number of


Ii the ngureS (212) as given ABOVE are
used as multiple, the population of
st. Paul would be shown to be 1861
and the same multiple applied to the
figures of the Minneapolis directory
would give that city a population of
of Minneapolis. Butt there are several
reasons why lower multiple should be
used for Minneapolis than for st. Paul,
the principal one being thatin the Min
neapolis directory there are at least
5000 names of domestics, who are listed
with almost reckless abandon in the
Flour City. 1t is only necessary, to
substantiate this, to call attention to
pages 6SS, 693 and TIA of the Minneapo-
lis directory for 1889. Another reason
is that st. Paul contains more families
than Minneapolis, the latter having
more single men in proportion than st.
Paul. 1t would appear, then, from the
directories that there is not only very
little difference between the cities. but
that the difference is in favor of st.
Paul, and that the increase of popula-
tion in st. Paul in the past year has
been ten times that of Minneapolis.
The directory preface contains many
well presented statistics of st. Paul,
all of which have appeared in the
GLOBE under Ql11erenC ICfmS, at various
times; but one is of current interest
and is given as follows:
Since 1882 the reports of the health
commissioner of st. Paul have Shown
continual reduction of the rate of
mortality, beginning in the year named
with 1852 deaths to 1000 Inhabitants,
and ending last year with only 10.4S-a
diminution equal to 6315 per cent. This
is no doubt attributable to the ample
supply OF pure spring water, brought
thither from the adjacent lakes and dis
tributed throughout every part of the
city on both sides of the river, together
with the admirable and extensive sys-
fem OF sewerage, and the rigid enforce
ment OF sanitary regulations. The rec
orr for eight years, reckoned on basis
OF population certainly not exceeding
nine-tenths of the actual number for
parts of the time, is as follows:

odd Controversy.

An odd controversy has been going on
near the proposed Broadway bridge for
the past few days. The bridge con-
tractors. Kirkland & Starkey. have
been excavating for one of the piers on
land that they claim is In the street.
The Manitoba Railroad company claim
that it is OIL their land. and as fast as
the digging proceeded they have filled
the hole up. Several times the men
have nearly come to blows. The case
