The secretary was instruct ed to correspond with Mr. George, and see if be could be secured for a lecture in this city during his Western trip. The following resolutions were passed: Whereas, There is a growing belief amounting almost to a certainity that under our exisiting system of taxation the masses of the people are rapidly sinking into a condition of dependence and poverty, while a few who are es pecially favored by class legislation are fast becoming possessed of the wealth of the country, therefore be it resolved, that to the next United States census should be added a table showing what proportion of the people own their homes or business places and what proportion are tenants, and of those who are own ers, what percentage of the value of their possessions is covered by mort gage, and also. Resolved, That if the superintendent of the census does not now possess the authority to obtain such statistics, con gress ought to empower him to do so. Resolved, That copies of these resolu tions be sent to Robert P. Porter. Sup erintendent of census, and to each Min nesota congressman. The debate was upon -the vacant land theory, as elab orated by Pentecost. Mr. Alexander opened the discussion, but the . theory did not seem a popular one with the sin gle tax club. Next Tuesday, D.

The representatives from Minnesota were also notified of the action. ' ■ -<• * Thr following resolutions were also passed : Whereas, George D. Emery, municipal judge of this city, was during the street ear strike last spring, so very zealous in winning the strike for the street car company as to give rise to the frequently expressed opinion that he had a personal interest in oppressing the working men engaged in the strike, by sentencing men brought into his court for being in crowds on the streets, to line and imprison ment, entirely out of proportion to the crime charged, even had any evidence been pro duced against the prisoners, which was not the case; and Whereas. When these cases were brought before the district court onhabeas corpus pro ceedings, thai court decided that this up right judge (Emery), who poses as the star reformer of a reform administration, had ex ceeded his authority, and had illegally im prisoned men agalns't whom there was not a particle of evidence: and Whereas, When the city appealed to the supreme court from the decision of the dis trict court in the case of Sexton, who had been sentenced to uinetv days' imprisonment and $10i> (or ninety days more) fine for the alleged crime of shouting "scab"' at a tough cowboy cur-driver, imported from Kansas City for the purpose of intimidating honest workingmen (no evidence of the offense having been submitted at the trial in the municipal court), the supreme court in its decision said, in closing, "that the record (of the municipal court) shows that there was never any complaint against the defendant, nor a particle of evidence to warrant his con viction." And, Whereas. In a like case of Erickson, con victed in the same court, in the same man ner, and with the same lack of incriminating evidence, the supreme court ordered the prisoner discharged on the ground that the court had no jurisdiction to try the case, and that Brickson'e imprisonment was absolutely illegal, and the judgment, therefore, void and without authority of law; therefore, . I Resolved, By the trades and labor assembly t hat ws denounce -George D. Emery, judge of he municipal court, as a man utterly unfit to occupy the position in which he was placed by a misguided people, as his frequent acts of tyranny and the usurpation of authority not given by law to his court will testify; and, knowing it would be useless to ask him to resign, and having little hope of securing his impeachment, we ask that tho next legis lhture abolish the court, and give the people of this city an opportunity to elect a better man to some better court to be established in its place. t 4 t » * » The switchmen's union gave its an nual ball at Harmonia hall last Wednes day evening.

Several reports have been received' by labor organizations to the effect that a firm on Bridge square is employing a number of girls and young women, and enforcing several rules that savor some what of Eastern factory regulations. It is said that the help were obliged to work on Christmas and New Year's day under fear of discharge. Many are discharged without any reason being given for such action, and a system of fines enforced, which seriously detracts from the wages of *K3 per week. These charges will be investigated by labor organizations, and if the sto ries told are true, then it will probably be necessary to reason with the said employers aud impress upon them th THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: .SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 5, 1890. --SIXTEEN PAGES. * fact that If those women and children are unable to help themselves, thero are forces organized for that purpose which will do so.

The Arizona Myth Thrown in the Shade by the Yankee Reality. The Norwich People's Gazette, Gor don Wilcox publisher and editor, is perhaps the most unique newspaper in New England, jf Its field is society and ethics, and for two years or more it has treated local questions practically with the same candor that distinguishes the Arizona Kicker theoretically. Its motto is: "Get there, Eli!" At the nead is the publisher's notice: THE PEOPLE'S WEEKLY GAZETTE Ib a Fifty-Cent Reformed .Newspaper wilh pious tendencies— published at No. 111 Water st., Norwich, by a* ■■-'.■- Wilcox The Reformer. ..**' : * ~ and printed by Wilcox The Printer. The Gazette is published^ ostensibly for the public good, but in reality for the good of the publisher, and is con ducted strictly on the European plan, lf you don't see what you want, ask for it. If you don't get what you ask for, go without it. It recognizes no fixed orbit, but wanders along the milky way and among the fixed stars— and if any of the stars need fixing they will be re paired at short notice, on reasonable terms and guaranteed for one year. Wo claim the proud distinction of being the only pious journal in North America which is published solely "for revenue only," have no platform, preamble, or by-laws, simply this trademark and nothing more: The Under Dog:— May he ever be Right 1 But Right or Wrong, We shall always bo With The Under Bog in the Fight! Mr. Wilcox is one of the best job printers and designers in New England; he is a veteran of the civil war, and until recently was a member of the Central Baptist church in this city. The pastor of that church. Rev. D. H. Taylor, recently resigned his pastorate thereof, and last Sunday he joined the Park Congregational church. The latest issue of the Gazette criticises Mr. Taylor's act in this original way: We think the Baptist Elder made a bad break when he made his last flop and landed in the Congregational church, Of course we are willing to ad mit that he had a darned hard gang to deal with, but it came so sudden like— this throwing up of a good-paying job" just as the revival season was likely to strike on. Now, if for several months past he has been preaching one thing and believing another, why couldn't he have held out a few months longer and broken the news to us gently? Was it the mistake of the Almighty or the Baptist Elder that he has been fooling away tho last fifteen years of his life in the Baptist fold? Besides, it is liable to be twelve or fifteen years before bis next congre gation will have full confidence that he won't take another flop and land in the Episcopal or Catholic church. And only to think that it was but a few weeks since that he was lying awake nights devising ways to build a §40,000 church for this same bogus denomination. In a similar pleasant way Mr. Wilcox has been maintaining the freedom of the press for the last two years, and still his amicable relations with his fellow men, like the quality of mercy, are not strained much. *■****• STAID AWAY TOO LONG. A Captain Returns From a Trip to Alaska to Find His Wife Mar ried. Globe-Democrat. Seattle, Wash., Dec. 16.— Capt. Peter Bayne has returned from Alaska to find himself a veritable Enoch Arden. In 1878 he married in Tulare county, Cal., the beautiful daughter of Rev. Vandeventer, who afterward preached In Kent, Wash., and is now located in Winnemucca, Nev. In 1887 he located on a homestead in Whatcom county, this state. Wanting nioney to prove up on his claim, he decided on a whaling trip to Alaska. "Upon the advice of his father-in-law he left his wife on the claim with a young Canadian named William J. Forbes. Capt. Bayne was fitted out ln the schooner Ino by H. S. Frand & Co., of San Francisco, and sailed from there as captain of the schooner in April, 1887, for the Arctic ocean. He was unsuc cessful, and while establishing sunply stations in shore near Point Barrow, the most northerly point on the Amer ican continent, a storm came up and the schooner was totally wrecked, though the crew aud every thing on board were all saved. The shipwrecked crew commenced whaling from the shore, and during the summer captured twelve whales, which netted a profit of $42,000. Seevral hundred walrus and sealskins and ivory were taken, which increased the profits about $20,000. The colony of ship wrecked sailors were comfortably housed during the two winters they were in the Arctic regions. During the sec ond summer the Indians notified Cant. Bayne of a large ledge of coal on the beach, 150 miles South, and thirty miles North of Cape Lisbon. The vein of coal was nearly forty feet thick, and Was visited by Bayne and ten men during the summer, lie proposed to return at some future time and develop the. mines. On the evening of Oct. 3. ISSS, the whaling bark Little Ohio was wrecked near where the schooner lno was lost, and out of forty souls only nineteen were saved. '1 he colony now numbered forty-five people, and some of them commened capturing. frost fish for extra food. They remained there until last* July, when the revenue cut ter Thetis found them. Enough pro visions were left behind until the Thetis could send word to the owners of the wrecked schooner Ino in San Francisco. They sent up the steamer William Lewis to bring down the ship wrecked mariners, whale oil and furs. After settling with his owners, Capt. Bayne found himself worth about $20,000. He hastened back to his What com county farm, and found it de serted. He hastened to his father-in law's home, and there learned that his wife, supposing him shipwrecked and dead, had married the young Cauadian •Forbes. Continued searching showed that Mrs. Bayne had obtained a divorce from her husband in Whatcom for fear he should still be alive. Capt. Bayne still searched, and to-day he found his children, girl and boy, aged respectively nlno and seven years, in Port Townsend postoffice. They had called for their mother's mail. The father broke down completely and has tened to his wife. She declares young Forbes was blameless and that she thought her husband was dead. The whole question is to be left to ex-Chief Justice Roger S. Greene,- of Seattle, a cousin of Senators Hoar and Evarts, who will arbitrate between the parties. Capt. Bayne, his wife and her relatives are well known on Puget sound and the case is therefore creating a considerable sensation. _***;■ yy. A Railroad on Tree Tops. St. Louis Republic. It may not be known outside of the neighborhood in which it is situated, but it is nevertheless a fact, that in Sonoma county, Cal., there exists an original and successful piece of original engineering and buildiug that is not to be found in the books. In the upper • part of the : county named, near the coast, may be seen an actual road bed in the tree tops. Between the Clipper mills and Stuart Point, where the road lacrosses a deep ravine, the trees _ are sawed off on a level with the surround ing hills, and the timbers aiul ties laid oil the stumps. In the center of the ravine mentioned two huge redwood trees, standing side by side, form a sub stantial support. Theso giants have been lopped off seventy-five feet above the bed of the creek. This natural tree bridge Is considered one of the wonders of the Golden State, and for safety and security far exceeds a bridge framed in the most scientific manner. A LAZY GIRL. Her Painful Trick to Rid Herself . of Work. London Lancet. M. C , aged seventeen, a plump, V healthy-looking country girl, in service in a minister's family, was brought to' me by her mistress about the end of March last complaining of severe prick ing pains on the dorsal surface of the left hand. Her mistress informed me that the girl was not at all fond of. work, and that she had a deal of trouble to get her to do it; that since the hand had been bad she would do nothing but sit down and cry. On examination of the hand 1 found it puffy and inflamed, and on asking her if she felt the prick ing sensation at any particular point, was referred to a spot in the center of the hand. On touching this with my finger I distinctly felt something sharp and pointed. I used a pair of dressing forceps and extracted a full sized sewing needle, which had been pushed obliquely into the flesh until the whole of it was out of sight. She could give no account of how it got there. Three evenings afterwards she was again brought in, and from the same place and in the same manner I ex tracted another needle. About a week after she came again, and this time I withdrew a pin (which had been pushed in until the head was covered) from the same place. A few days after she came again, with her hand (of course previously inflamed from her treatment of it) very cedematous and of a bright blue color, which I found she had pro duced by a liberal use of the blue bag and vinegar. I felt so disgusted with her that I advised her mistress to get rid of her at once, which was done, and the girl returned to the country. It seems hardly credible that a peison of her age could be so cunning and would inflict so much pain upon herself to avoid work. SHE KEPT HER SEAT. How a Young* Woman Got the Best of a Theater "Usher. New York Evening Sun. A young woman, quite pretty, bought an admission ticket to one of the big theaters the other night, walked calmly to the front of the house and sat down. It was early, and there were very few in their seats. The rightful owner of the seat occupied by this young woman did not arrive until very nearly time for the overture to begin. At that hour the house was well filled. The play on the boards for the night was one of the most successful before the public. The overture was just beginning when an usher and the owners of the seat occupied by the young woman, a theater party of six, three ladies and three gentlemen, came down the aisle. The usher looked at the checks again i and then said very politely: "I beg your pardon, madam, but I fear there must be some mistake. Will you kindly let me see your check?'.' "I haven't any check," replied the woman, calmly. "Then this seat doesn't belong to you. Will you kindly let these ladies have it?" "No, sir," came coolly from the young lady. "I do not intend to move one * inch." "Then, madam," exclaimed the . usher, "I will have to put you out." "Oh, no you won't, either. You will • i not touch me." * "I won't, eh? If you don't get up now I will put you out." Then this young woman calmly and coolly surveyed the thousands of souls In the house, and a queer little smile crept over her face. "If you touch me— do you see the thousands of persons in this house? Do you see how densely packed it is? Well, if yon attempt to put me out I will cry 'Fire!' " She Kept her seat. — : — . ** UNCLE SAM'S TIME-PIECES. What It Costs the Government to . Wind and Set Its Clocks. Omaha Herald. lt costs Uncle Sam thousands of dol lars a year to have his clocks wound. Every Monday morning you see men going about the departments carrying little ladders, like those used by the lamp-lighters. Their business is to wind and keep in order the clocks in the departments. Each man has in his own department, or a section of the de- Dartment, to look after the clocks, and this is his sole business, In some places men are employed by the month for this purpose, while in other cases the con tract is let by the month or year to some enterprising clock repairer, who sends a "journeyman" around to wind the clocks and see whether they are in or der, and then goes himself to make such repairs as are necessary. The cost of winding and caring for the clocks in the department runs at the rate of 175 to $100 per month in each department. There are in the treas ury department 400 clocks. Some of these are expensive ones, and cost away up in the hundreds of dollars, though the average value of departmental clocks is not more than perhaps $15 or $20 apiece. A good many of the clocks in halls of the public buiidings and also in the rooms occupied by the heads of the departments are very valuable, costing away up in the hundreds.

CORN A LITTLE LOWER. Money Rates in New York Nominal, and Stocks Are SUU Advanc ing. j Chicago. Jan. Only a moderate busi ness was transacted in wheat and the feel lug was unsettled. The market opened ud" weak and prices were Vi%^.<i lower, due to the government crop reports, and to a rather easier tone of European markets. The firmness in the foreign markets has been the principal strengthening feature lately, and with this lacking, operators gave up hope. At the decline there was good buying to cover "shorts,"; and one promi nent trader was credited with bu ylng 1,000, --000 bushels or more for May delivery. The buying was sufficient to check the decline, and caused a temporary rally of W&sfoa above early inside figures, but eased off again later, closing about ",fe@i.ic lower than yesterday. A moderate business was trans acted in corn, and the feeling developed was weak early, but later- a stead ier tone was manifested.

The stock market was again moderately active to-day, and in that respect furnished a marked contrast to the dealings during tbs same hours of yesterday, and the urgent de mand for stocks which was developed in yes terday continued with the result of moving everything traded in higher than last even ing. The money rates to-day were, of course, merely nominal, but they were low ana the purchasing tor the long account assumed larger proportions, and aided by the demand from the short, a strong and steadily advanc ing market was made. • The uniformity of the improvement was a feature and the only marked advances occurred in specialties. The opening was active and strong at ad vances over last night's figures extending % per cent and with the single exception of sugar refineries which was sold on rumors of a probable contest between the refining interests, the entire market moved up. though the only specially prominent ad vance was iv Colorado Coal, which spurted up 2% per cent in a short time. Sugar retired about 2 per cent, but recovered a largel por tion of the loss while the general list was subjected to a moderate set-back toward 11 o'clock. This was of short duration, how ever, and the upward movement was soon resumed, though with less force, and no further feature was developed, the close be ing active aud strong, with prices generally at tbe highest points.. Pacific Mail was ad vanced on rumors of favorable action at Washington and on points emanat ing, from the insiders, and Lead Trust was bought steadily on the belief of better prospects for the trust. Illinois coal and coke was again aqtive, and advanced a smail fraction over its last evening's price. The entire active list is higher to-night, and while the Improvement is generally measured by fractions, Colorado Coal and Central Pacific are each up 1%, and Pullman 1%, while sugar refineries lost 1%. i Railroad bonds were more active than they have been for some time, the transac tions for the two hours reaching $953,000, with the Chesapeake <_ Ohio 5s specially prominent in the dealings, with transactions of $120,000. Shenandoah Valley lsts cer tificates rose from 3 to 115. . The sales of bonds for the week were $4,883,000, against $4,491,000 for last week. The Post says: "Up to last night, stocks had advanced steadily during the last three business days since Mon day, when the lowest prices of the week, or of the two weeks, were made. The market has been remarkably strong for the last teu days considering its extreme dullness, and it was apparent that an important rise was de layed only by the stringency of the money market. Yesterday it began to be- believed that the severe piuch in the money market was over, and though it was also" probable that money would continue legitimately close for some time, the fear of extreme stringency disappeared and stocks became buoyant. There was a good deal of money offered for loan on the stock exchange yesterday after noon that was not taken, and this * forenoon it was offered at 3 per cent. This cave stocks another lift." Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds have been dull and steady. R. M. NEWPORT & SON llivestmjiit Bankers. 152, 153 and 154 Drake Block, St. Paul, Minn.
