MAKING ANOTHER OFFICE
To Give the Mayor a Chance to
Pay a Political Debt.

To Give the Mayor Chance to
Pay Political Debt.
Some weeks ago a resolution was
introduced in both branches of the coun-
Gil authorizing the mayor to appoint
weigher of coal and measurer of wood
for period of six months, at a salary
OF SS5 per month. The statement was
made at the time that the matter was
brought up at the request of the mayor,
Mr.. Phillips. the assistant city attorney,
being authority for the same. Both
bodies referred the resolution to COM
mittee. and yesterday City Attorney
CHAMBERLAIN gave an opinion to the
effect that the charter did not prohibit
the employment of such servant from
month to month, and his appointment
would not come under the head of a
salaried officer. The question as to
whether the duties could be performed
by some Of the present servants of the
city without increasing II expenses of
the city was not passed On by the attor-
ney, who stated the council was the
best judges of this phase of the ques-
ton.
The Ramsey county delegation in the
last legislature decided after a protest
from the reform members of the city
government that there was no need of
the Office of measurer of wood and
weigher of coal, but an election is APP
preaching and i'll order to have reform
Endorsed by as many as possible Mayor
Wright is anxious TO have the chance to
make an additional appointment. The
opinion of the city attorney will be read
at the board of aldermen meeting this
evening

UNDERWEAR SALE.

In last evenings Dispatch
we advertised a lot of i'm
porters' samples of Ladies
Underwear. That adver-
tisement was written in the
morning. We had no idea
that the entire lot would be
so nearly closed out in a
single day, and we surely
expected to have a good
stock on hand today. Of
the little lot remaining these
are the best items. They
will probably be gone by
noon.

GROWTH OF CITIES.
Historical Review at the Peoples
Church Lyceurn

Historical Review at the Peoples
Church Lyceum.
THE City in History" was the SUBJ
ject of paper read by w. Ii. Williams
at the opening meeting of the Peoples
church lyceum last evening. in the
parlorS of the church. He saidln brief:
The history of cities is the history of
civilization; but it can scarcely be with
i'll the scope and purpose of this paper
to write the history of civilization.
As l take it, the object of this paper
is to give the facts in general
outline OF the growth and manage
ment of cities in such way as to lead
up by historical sequence to the prob
lens of city life which confront US at
the present day. and which we are to
consider under this programme-offoo food
and water supply, of health. of morals,
of the distribution of wealth, of riches
and poverty, of want and misery, plenty
and luxury; and has always emphasized
the eternal struggle between the good
and evil in human nature.
We have noticed that the ancient city
was always military affair. In con-
trast to this we now see that the chief
characteristic of the new rising cities
is commercial.
After the rise OF cities in Europe, So
ciety was confronted with the problem
of the classes, struggle which consti-
tutes the very fact of modern society,
and of which it is so full.
Modern Europe, as you have seen, is
born of this struggle between the diff
ferent classes of society. In Asia, for
example, one particular class has COM
pletely triumphed. and the system of
castles has succeeded to that of classes,
ana society has fallen into a state of
immobility. Nothing of this kind has
taken place in Europe. One class has
not conquered; no class has been able
to subjugate the others. The struggle.
instead of rendering society stationery.
has been principal cause of its progress.
And now the conflict of classes is
fiercer than ever and out of it arises
many questions we shall consider under
this programme during the coming sea-
son at the Lyceum.
