homes in the central part of the city !;
and yet, as rule, they are not able to
pay the eXorbitant rents now asked for
houses in central locality. What such
persons want is a suite of four or five
apartments in fat which can be rent
ed for the same as modest home In
the suburbs, with car fare added. Here
is certainly chance for some one to
make money, and at, the same time fill
long-felt want of certain classes OF So
ciety. 1t is true there are boarding
houses in almost every locality Of the
city, but they do not meet the require
ments of home. 1t is fortunate city
whose people all live in their own
homes. 1t is, perhaps, more desirable
to the majority to live in the suburbs.
and, in consequence, pretty much all
the building is in that direction, but
there are thousands whose work does
not admit of this, who would be glad to
get a chance to keep house in modest
way.
1t is now apparel that st. Paul is
soon to become city Of cheap homes,
the most desirable condition that city
could enjoy. and yet 1t is important
that these cheap homes be so distributed
as to induce all classes to occupy their
own homes.

A BACK NUMBER.

Mr.. L. E. REED, who is candidate for
alderman from the Second ward. stands
on most peculiar platform Of his own
construction, He announces that he is
opposed to all further public improve
ments in this city of every sort and de-
seription, and wants to be elected to
council on that platform.
When the GLOBE first learned Of MIR.
REEDS position we scarcely knew
whether to treat it as a joke or as a
serious matter, but thaving learned that
Mr.. REED is terribly in earnest, we take
the liberty TO offer few criticisms.
If Minneapolis. or any other rival
city, had the making of platform upon
which to elect city council for st.
Paul. then Mr.. REED would be just the
man that is wanted. But we are woefully
mistaken in the temper of the st. Paul
people if they are prepared to act as
undertakers at their own funeral.
Therefore candidates who stand on Mr..
REEDS platform are not wanted.
st. Paul is notready to be salted down.

should hang our harps on the willows
and sit down by the streams OF Babylon
to bewail our desolation.
On the contrary, st. Paul is live city.
and very much alive. 1t is a growing
city,that has just reached the real period
of development.
In fact, we are approaching the crisis
Of our development. and at this time

TO START WITH.

There are commendable features to
the practice the Boston Herald speaks
of as becoming very prevalent in that
community. in establishing savings
bank accounts for every child from the
day of its birth. One case is related
where parental pride caused a man to
make deposit before the birthday of
the child was reached, and in giving the
name did not guess right as to sex.
Probably most persons would be sur
prised at the aggregate the child would
have to start in life with on reaching
adult years, if there were regular de-
posit, even if very small, the money
being put at interest. There are COM
paratively few who could not make a
saving of few cents week for this
purpose. The few hundred dollars en-
dowment would lift the young man or
woman over the hardest point. probably,
the getting started. The men who have
gathered much of the worlds goods
generally speak of the first few hun
dred dollars as the hardest to get. Some
of the endowment associations have the
same object in view.
St. Paul daily globe., 1890-03-30
A WAY TO REACH THEM.

While there are pessimistic moral
izings in some quarters over the dlf-
ficulties churches have in bringing the
masses within their walls, it is possible
that suggestion may be had in the
broadening phases being taken on in
number of instances. Both in the East
and the West there are those who
would make the church more than an
edifice for hebdomadal homilecticS and
pious exhortations. Their ideal is a
combination of the religious and social
features. They would have the church
point skyward. but do a good deal of
work to make people like this world
AMI help others to be reconciled to 1t.
The church with them is to be very
much larger than the sanctuary. An
account given by a New York paper
of the Tompkins Avenue Congrega-
tional church in Brooklyn affords an
idea of the new departure in its main
phases. This society is strong in num-
bers. and has means sufficient for its
work. 1t has in the past few years eX-
pended nearly quarter OF million
dollars in the erection OF structures
for its plan of operations. 1t has
a church with capacity of 5000 peo-
pie, convenient, but not imposing or
costly in architecture. 1t has another
edifce quite as large and costly as the
church, called the parish home. A
great portion of this is taken up with
rooms for the Sunday school work. In
the center of the main hall is beautl-
full fountain, and all the arrangements
are attractive and appropriate. The
lower floor of the building has the more
notable features. Here is a large
library, with reading room adjoining;
large, tastefully furnished parlOrS for
ladies, Well-equipped kitchen. and all
the rooms and conveniences for recep-
tions and social gatherings. These
rooms are opened every day and even
ing in the week, and made a perpetual
attraction for all who have leisure or
are in need of cheerful and pleasant
resort. Here the life and spirit of the
society are mingled in genial compan-
ionship, and unity and community de-
veloped that makes the body great
force in the community. The Sunday
services draw reat crowds, and over 600
members have been added to the
membership in a remarkably short
time. In Milwaukee prominent
society of the same denomination
has, on a smaller scale, followed
the Brooklyn example. The modern
part of the church structure mas many
of the features of the most approved
club houses. There are the reading
rooms, parIors. culinary provisions, and
even billiard room. Iu some other
cities there is more or less of this de-
velopment. Locally some evidence OF
it may be found. The fact that the de-
parture has its origin in the denomina-
ton hat looks back most directly to the
Puritan fathers will perhaps relieve it
of the disparagement of more heterodox
parentage. Objection will be found by
some to it that it brings the world and
the church into association, but it may
be insisted that to benefit the world it
must be reached and brought within the
range of the sacred tow line. There are
a good many heathen that can be found
without travel in ships.

CHEAP HOMES.

The building prospect for the coming
season indicates an entire change from
last years record. The promise is for
an equal, if not greater, amount in
vested in buildings in this city during
the coming summer; but the buildings
will be of a different character from
those erected last year. The city is
well enough supplied with offic build
ings for the present, and now the de-
mand for more residences is to be met
In anticipation Of the extension of the
various electrical lines, the building in
spector's office is literally being be-
sieged with applications for permits to
erect residence and tenement houses
out along the lines of the proposed rail-
way extensions.
We have no inclination to discourage
this residence building furor, for we are
satisfied that all the new houses will be
occupied by the end of the year. But
what we do want to impress upon those
who are putting their money into tene-
ment houses is the necessity for having
cheap homes in the central part of the
city. We can never attain metropolitan
growth until that is done. tits true the
convenience of the cable and electric
car lines is a great inducement to many
to go out into the suburbs to live. The
facility with which they can get to and
from their places of business makes
suburban life desirable. But there is a
large class of workers here in the city
whose business affairs do not permit
them to go out into the suburbs to live,
and this class is growing every year.
They are the men who burn the
midnight oil at their work and
who cannot go home until after the
street cars have stopped running. In
cluded in this class are the newspaper
workers, the people who are connected
with the theaters and other places of
amusement, the saloon men, the hotel
attaches, clerks in railroad offices, tele-
graph operators. employees in the billiard
halls, night watchmen, patrolmen, to
say nothing of the large number of per-
sons who attend lodge meetings, club
habitnes, and others WHO find it more
convenient to their social and business
affairs to go home after midnight than
before. Altogether, they make a very
considerable number of people who
would be accommodated by hayi ng
St. Paul daily globe., 1890-03-30

above all other times we need men in
charge of municipal affairs who are
active and enterprising, and who have
faith in the city's future.
Old fogyiSm may be good in its place,
but st, Paul is not the place for it.
Suppose that a majority of council
should be elected on Mr.. REEDS plat
form, where would the city be year
hence in comparison with where Mime.
apolis would be, and where Milwaukee
and Omaha, and Chicago and all the
Northwestern towns would be? 1t would
simply be a good place to move away
from, while our rivals would be mount
ing the high tide of prosperity.
Mr.. REEDS proposition would be a
joke if the matter were not too serious
to joke about. The cessation of all pub
lie improvements for even one year
would give st. Paul a setback from
which it could never recover. There
may come time away in the future,
when the city has reached the full
stature of metropolitan growth, when
we can fold our hands and rest on our
oars. But we are nowhere near that
time yet. We are just in the midst of
the building period, when to stop would
be crime, or to look backward would
be ruin.
Our watchward shonld be "Go for
ward" And every mans shoulder
should be at the wheel to aid in giving
the progressive movement the proper
impetus. Unless Mr.. REEDS platform
can be reconstructed to meet the pro-
gressive ideas of our citizens, his services
as public official will be dispensed
with until such time as st. Paul needs
all epitaph writer.

PICK YOUR CANDIDATES.

Both parties have determined to get
their municipal tickets early into the
field, and thus we are to have an I'M
usually long municipal campaign.
After all. we are inclined to think that
this is an excellent idea, as it will give
the voters better opportunity to scru-
tiniZe the candidates, and should result
in getting the best men to fill the mu-
nicipal Offices. A candidate who cam
not stand a long public scrutiny is
hardly fit to be intruSted with re-
sponsible public office. If he is All un-
worthy person his unworthiness will be
apt to crop out during the course of a
six weeks campaign.
With knowledge that their candl-
dates will have to undergo a long
and severe public scrutiny, both
parties will have an incentive to put up
their best timber, for all the unhealthy
wood will be found out at the May polls.
The one thing of all others that the
people Of this city desire to obtain at
the next election is representative
council. Aldermen who have been
tried and never carried any weight will
be pruned out as dead wood. Men who
break their promises and sacrifice their
constituents interests will not be in de-
mand at the next election. They are
rotten wood, and will have to be pruned
out. Men who have no minds or char
acter of their own, but who do simply
as they are told. are regarded by the
populace as suckers who sap the strength
of the tree. They will be pruned out. The
party managers may as we'll understand
in the beginning, for they will learn it
in the end, that the voters will support
no candidates for municipal Offices who
are not men of force Of character and
integrity, men who are familiar with
the needsof the people and the methods
by which they are to he supplied, and
who are capable of learning what they
do not know.
We will simply say to the party lead
ers, if you have any such men in your
ranks, force them to the front and force
the others back.

TOPICAL TALK.
The Boy So 1t was privilege tt
hear RIatchfnrd KaYa

The Boy So 1t was privilege to
hear Blatchford Kava-
prano. nagh sing. The boys
voice is marvel, and
the wonder is how such angelic melody
can be stored away in a tiny human
throat. But the disagreeable feature of
this miracle of vocalization is that the
poor boy is being worked to death to
crafty a managers greed. 1t is rush
to make the most out OF him before his
voice changes. There isn't prima
donna or singer of note in all the
world who will agree to sing more than
two or three nights out of week.
Patti. in the full maturity of her wom-
anhood, and with all her fondness for
money, cannot be hired to sing more
than twice week. And yet here was
poor little Blatchford Kavanagh being
trotted backward and forwards between
the two cities for whole week, and re-
quired to sing twice dav and six num-
bers at each concert. The boy stands
up hravely to his work. and utters no
complaint. But it is no reason why he
should be imposed upon because he is
manly and conscientious, and endeavors
to fulfill all that is required of him.
Three concerts week, limited to one a
day, is the most that should be eXacted
of that tender voice tuned to q seraph'S
note.
