nance providing for the election of an
expert electrician by the fire depart
ment to act as inspector Of au electric
wiring. The salary Of the expert is to
be paid from the fire department fund.
Aid Kenny thought the ordinance
simply provided for a new office and
gave a salary to lone of the boys"

Aid. Shepard had read letter from
E. E. Hughson, of the insurance in
spection bureau, stating that unless the
ordinance was passed and an electrical
expert appointed the insurance rates
would be increased. With this explain
alton the ordinance passed by a unani-
nous vote.
Aid. Sanborn introduced an ordI-

and L. NJ. Ramaley, IS, the amounts being
damages resulting from improvements made
in 1889 and 1890. Aid. Lndahl raised the
point that he did not care to vote for such
payments seven and eight years after they
should have been settled and asked for some
reason for the delay. The announcement
that the ordinances had been approved by the
city comptroller sienced the objections OF
the First ward alderman, and they were
approved without further investigation or
comment.
The resolution directing the city comptroller
to pay no more interest gas lamp posts
which were not in service, was sent to the

A glance at some of the eecentricities of the
apportionmenf bill may not be out of order
The largest senatorial district proposed is the
Fffty-sixth, orter Tail county; the smallest,
Otter Tail county, with population OF over
IS. 600, gave Lind a plurality Of over 1900.
The next largest district Is the one known
now as the -, Tihirry-second, but which will, il
the new bill passes, be the Thirty eighth,
comprising the Fifth and Sixth wards in Min
neapolis. While Sthis district returned a Re-
publican legislative delegation this time, it
mas ever been uncertain, such lifelong DEM
ocrats as Philip b. Winston, Matt Walsh and
others having broken in from time TO time
and It did administer terrific beating to
Clough at the last election.
So much for the large ones Waseca county
mas l4,13 voters, and is accredited with one
senator under the new deal. 1t gave the Re-
puDnGan state ticket! with the exception of
Clough, clear 500 plurality on a voting
population OF $500, and even the head of the
Republican ticket got small plurality This
loyalty is rewarded. Houston county is an
other small one, 1855. Houston county gave
Clough 700 plurality and the rest of the ticket
even better. The proposed Fifteenth district
consisting OF Rock and Pipestone, has a popu-
lation, by the census of 15712 Rock county
gave the Republicans a good measure of votes
sufncient, 1t is believed, to beat out any Dem
ecratlc-Populistic invasion in the other ceun-
ty, and so It goes.
The counties Of Carver and Scott which are
united under the bill, have a population as
large as any two OF these counties last named
yet they are to be but one senatorial district
Scott county gave Bryan and his entire ticket
a plurality this last election and Carver
county showed very pronounced indications Of
free silver heresy. No chances are to be
taken with these constituencies eecting two
Populists two years hence
Meeker county, with scarcely more popula-
ton than either Of these, is given district

TRAINING OF LITTLE FOLKS.

Mothers Club.

III. III. Hart Talks to CrOcus Hill
Mothers Club.
H H. Hart spoke before the mothers
of the Crocus Hill club yesterday af~
ternoon in First Presbyterian church
on the needs Of home training for the
little ones whom the state has the care
for either through poverty or crime,
and who are usually placed in state In
stitutions. Mr.. Hart holds that the
home is the place for the child; that the
institution life is an artificial one and
does not fit the child for a place in the
world. In Massachusetts, in 1866, was
begun an experiment, and the proba-
ton law was enacted. The result has
been very interesting. The popula-
ton of the reform school is one-thir1
what it was % years ago, and it is
felt that this is the right method. It
has been proposed in this state in a
bill at present before the Legislature,
and has been tried voluntarily by the
two prison associations with the ap-
prevail of several st. Paul Judges.
1t is felt by those interested that
there is a lack of intelligent knowl-
edge of the attempts being made
along this line. Mr.. Hart said that
they felt the need Of the wisdom and
experience of women and that he would
be glad to see a woman on the board Of
corrections and charities, that they
might have the right to ask the SYM
pathy and cooperation of women in
the work And he closed by again re-
ferring to the need Of the right kind of
home influence for the children left to
the care of the state.
