'""about thk city.

A. 11. Hilgerson. of Eau Claire, aprominent lumberman of that vicinity,

was at the Merchants- yesterday. Ques-tioned by a representative of the Globeas to what effect the mild weather andabsence of snow during the greater partof the winter had had upon the loggers,

he replied that although there was al-ways complaint when the weather wasmild, his experience had been that mildwinters were the most profitable to log-

gers. There was nothing to establish adoubt that the present season would beas profiable as any. "The roads might

have been better than tiiey were a weekor so ago," continued Mr. Hilgerson,"but we have six weeks of good roads inthe woods ahead of us, and that willallow ample time to furnish logs for allthe mills. There is now plenty of snowin Minnesota and Wisconsin to keep theroads in good condition for severalweeks.

* *There is a Chinese laundry on Fifth

street which needs the attention of theauthorities. The place is ostensibly awash house, but actually an opium den,and such it has been for along timepast. If the chattering cadavers whomeet there smoked themselves to deaththere would perhaps be no reason forinterference, but as itis at present theproprietor of the place caters to thetaste orcuriosity of any one desiring

to visit his dive. This sort of trade liasrecently become more profitable, appar-ently, 'than the laundry business, andvery little washing comes off in theplace. Alarge number of the patronsof the den are women. Most ofthem are of a depraved class, butthere are some who can scarcelyhe called depraved except as to theirappetite for opium.' who are among itsmost frequent visitors. There is notelling what proportions this vice mayassume ifallowed to spread unchecked,and it would be a good idea to bringJohn Chinaman up with a round turn.

Initial Steps for the Forma-tion of a General Central

Organization.

Campaign times were recalled lastevening at the Merchants' hotel at thegathering of a large number of prom-inent Democrats from all parts of thestate, who had been summoned by thespecial committee appointed by theDemocratic state central committee tohear the plan of organization whichthey had been instructed to formulate.Long before the hour of the meetingthe lobby of, the hotel was crowded bythe gentlemen whose names have beenbefore the public constantly as leadersand workers of the party of the Democ-racy. About 200 gentlemen had an-swered the call, the Democratic senatorsand representatives in the legislatureand members of the common council ap-pearing in a body. Among these pres-ent were:

Dowu to Business.

Marshal Campbell called the meetingtoorder, and said they had gathered toconsider the question of Democraticorganization, for which purpose a com-mittee of twenty-five had been ap-pointed by the state central committee.The committee had made their reportto the executive committee, and theyhad called the meeting that evening todiscuss the matter. On the motion ofC. M. Foote. of Minneapolis, Mr. Camp-bell was elected chairman. Mr. Camp-bell said that the government of thecountry should always make knownits principles of government. TheDemocrats of this state hadnot been properly organized, ami theyhad with one exception been in the mi-nority. Our opponents had inaugurateda very bad policy, and the Democraticparty had been influenced by it. Elec-tions had been controlled by the Repub-lican party by the use of money, andthis led to bad results to the state. We.ourselves, had found that we mustraise a large sum of money to offsettheir opponents, and we need not pointout the evils which would accrue fromthe use of money inelections. He hopedthat the matter had been exaggerated,but certainly a deal of harm had beendone. The, committee therefore hopedthat some plan would be evolved bywhicii the success of the organizationwould be assured.

On the motion of Dan Aberle, P. 3.Smalley was elected secretary of theorganization.

lion. C. D. O'Brien, who was receivedwith loud cheers, said:

lam proud tomeet my fellow Democratsupon this occasion, which is the first occa-sion when they have assembled in this stateafter election "when no subject of vital im-portance was to be discussed. Iregard thismeeting as a solemn convocation of Demo-crats assembled to exchange views forthe benefit of the state and commonwealth.1 have for many years listened to the teach-ings of the leaders of our party, and havelooked forward to the time when the Demo-cratic party would lend the politics of thiscountry. We owe to Grover Cleveland andhis teachings that we are assembled tonightto evolve a plan to aid him, when in -92 hewill lead the party to victory. The Demo-cratic party can sustain all the interests ofthe country irrespective of politics or posi-tion. Itis'complaiued of that politics havebecome corrupt, but up to this limethe people had not become corrupt,[Cheers.] He felt great satisfaction toknow that the people were the De-mocracy of the country, and they shouldappeal to them to come forward and devotetheir time so that the briber and the bribedwould be sent to prison. The duties of anAmerican citizen were supreme. Every citi-zen should be equal before the law.and thelaw should be equal to every citizen. Classlegislation is opposed to every principle offreedom and the constitution of the country.In the West to-day they were oppressed by amultiplicityof legislation which tended toclass legislation, and they must see that thisshould end. The legislators must do theirduty, and they must recognize thatit was a great 'honor to be a. serv-ant of the people of this - state.1 spoke of class legislation and will give yousome instances. During the past few yearsa law was passed making it an offense for aman to go to a hotel" and eat a meal andnot pay for it. but no law existed to makethe hotel keeper pay the butcher. Alaw wasbefore the legislature now to punish with im-prisonment any man who hired a horse at alivery stable and did not pay forit. but therewas no clause to punish the livery stablekeeper who did not pay the fannerfrom whom he bad bought the.horse. That was class 'legislation.Many of the business interests in the statewere managed by corporations, ami hewauted toknow ifthe ninety-days catch ascatch can session could not be stoppedwhere the corporation and people were ar-rayed against each other. For the lirst timein many years Wisconsin lias gone Demo-cratic, and they were approaching in theirlegislature these" vital affairs with great care.Ibeg of younot to let Minnesota be behindWisconsin.

General Oratory.

John W. Willis, said . he had listenedto the wise counsel of the last speakerand the position ot the Democraticparty was clear. They .had never in-augurated sectional legislation or a pro-jective tariff, they never had takenfrom the toilof millions and giveit insubsidies to a few shipowners. TheDemocratic governments of the Southwere free from rings and corporations,while in the North the farmers wereallied to fight the -monopolists. Theymust fight class legislation- for itwas dangerous to this country. Theywere united in principle, and let themmarshal the ranks and lead them on tovictory which would. give equal liber-ties toall, and show favor to none,« Congressman-elect 0. M.llalltook forhis subject "The Australian BallotSystem." He said that out of thevictory of 1890 they could perfect themeans of a grand victory in 1892. TheDemocracy had been astonished by their •

victory _of last November, but theydughtto have done more, but they werenot organized and did not know theirstrength. There was no method norunity of purpose, but the victory waswon by the enthusiasm of the people.The state committee bad done all theycould with the means at their disposal",but eight weeks was.-., not longenough to organize for a tight. -They proposed that night to found aDemocratic organization and enroll initall the Democrats of the state. Theydid not propose toselect candidates, buttodrill the people in'the time of peaceand make them ready for the fraid.The Australian system , would be ex-tended over the stale and wouldrevolutionize Minnesota. A free ballot Isystem, free from bribery, would wipe jout corruption. The method of;votingwouldenable them to summon all thesupport of the candidates i'or state

-

offices. The Republican party proposedto change the system of voting, but hewould advise them not to interferewith the law so successfullytried in St. Paul and Minneapolis.The victory of last November was thevictory of the people. McKinley's rodquickened the intelligence of the peo-ple, and the old issue still lives.and willbe the issue in 1892. The people werestudying everywhere political econ-omy, and cannot fool a reading public.The man who appealed to the intelli-gence of the people would be succuss-ful. The Republicans hope that in thenext congress the Democrats willadoptsome severe and radical legislation aswillfrighten the business interests ofthe country. That is their hope and ourdanger. We must be a united party,for victoryis assured ifwestand together.He pleaded for the old creed, and theywould be safe, the pure creed- of theDemocratic party. Let them not wor-ship gold or silver, but the purityof theparty. mgfk\a^t_fgg_tof^: .

C. M. Foote, of Minneapolis, said intwenty years he had never seen somany of' the party assembled togetherafter election. As chairman of the com-mittee of twenty-five, lie presented tothem the plan drawn up for an organiz-ation, which had been accepted by theexecutive committee. "He called uponthe secretary to read the plan of organ-ization, which was as follows:

The Organic Law.Preamble and Constitution of the Minne-

sota Democratic Association:Whereas, Ithas been made manifest to the

Democracy of the state of Minnesota that thetime has come when aproper and completeorganization of that political party should beentered into; and.Whereas, Itis due to the citizens of thiscommonwealth that upon the creation ofsuch organization the causes of its forma-tion and the policy of the Democracy whichit advocates should be plainly and. fullystated.Itis therefore declared that the Democracy

of the state ofMitinesota, being attached toand advocating the true principles of ourfree government, aud believing that underour political system the government by the

• people should'be for all of the people, andthat the protection to person and propertyshould be alike to all classes and individualsunder the law, to the end that the benelit tobe derived therefrom should be enjoyed bythe entire community, and extend alike loeach citizen and individual, regardless ofhisoccupation or position inlite.

We do therefore declare thai this organiza-tion shall always uphold and advocate.

First— A just, equable, economical andhonest administration of the several func-tions of the government of this common-wealth.

Second— class legislation ofany char-acter and description should never "be tol-erated.

Third— special legislation affectingprivate rights or tor the benefit of a few, orcreating undue preferences in orupon anyclass, should be prescribed.

fourth— the rights of persons andproperty, in the individual or aggregate,should tic sacredly preserved and protected.

Taxation should be tor public reve-nue only, and should be so adjusted, as to

bear equitably upon all citizens of the state.Sixth—Allmatters oflocal concern should

be relegated to the exclusive control of tbepeople of the locality interested in the same.

Seventh— the individual .electorshould be protected in his* exercise of. theright ofballot ina manner, and to an extentto produce the tallest and freest exercise ofsuch right by him,and to preserve tohim theeffect of the exercise of such rightin its en-tirety.

Eighth—That industry, economy and fidel-ity should be the fundamental and necessaryattendants upon the exercise of all officialfunctions. '."',''"

Ninth— due provision be made for th-

making and publication of official state-ments by all disbursing officers in and: tothe several communities upon whose. behalfthey act. . -

Tenth— to the performance of hispublic duties, each individual citizen shouldtiring the necessary conscientious knowledgeaud attention to" enable him to discharge,those duties accurately and faithfully,anathat in their discharge" such accuracy, con-scientiousness and fidelityshould be fullyin-dicated.

Believing the foregoing principles to *

be necessary for the maintenance of our'

former government, and that such princi-ples are consistent- with and are the prin-ciples of the Democratic party, and that thisorganization within the" Democratic partymay be of service to the commonwealth iv:establishing and maintaining the same, we

-hereby adopt them as the expression, of the-objects and policy of the Democratic party ofMinnesota.

. The judges of the supreme courtyesterday handed down eighteen im-portant decisions, five of whichreversedthe rulings of the lower courts. Themost important decisious handed downwere in the cases of Attwater vs. TheManchester Savings" Bank, and Peedagainst the same. Tlie decisions weremost voluminous, and are of great inter-est to the legal profession, inasmuchas > the court held that equitableas well as legal estates iv landare subject to rule on. execution.A very important decision was alsorendered in tlie case of Steffenson vs.The Chicago, Milwaukee &St.Paul Koad,Steffenson while on a hand car was in-jured through the negligence of a fel-low workman. He sued for damages,and the lower court held that lie couldnot recover on the ground that he wasnot engaged iv operating on the road.The supreme court, however, yesterdayreversed the decision, ruling that as thework of Steffenson necessitated the useofa hand car (lie being a track repairer)he was injured while in the company'sservice, and could recover damages.case willgo back to the district courtfor trial, -

unless the railroad companycompromise the case.

\u25a0 The syllable of the cases handed downare as follows:

.In such action the affidavit ox the personwho served the summons that the personsupon whom he served it, naming them, aremembers of the firm named in the summons,is sufficient to confer jurisdiction over suchpersons.

In judgment byconfession, a statement of facts out of whichthe confessed indebtedness arose is sufficientifit contains enough to enable creditors andothers to investigate the bona fides of thejudgment. The owner of land whose titlewas in litigationmade a contract with his at-torney to convey to him, forbis services, one-third of the land in case he succeeded' in re-covering the land." The attorney brought thelitigationto a successful termination, bat in.the meantime, certain mortgages executed bythe owner-having been foreclosed, ami thetime of redemption about to expire, and theowner not being able to redeem, he con-fessed judgment in favor ofhis attorney forhis services for an amount which does" notap*>ear to have been inexcess of the value of

.one-third of the- land. The judgment was,confessed to enable the attorney to redeemthe land and thereby secure compensatiouforhis services. Held, that the confessionof judgment was not a fraud on the pur-

chasers at the mortgage sales.

The cararrived at Sauk Rapids at night. The plaint-iff left the car a few minutes, and on itsbeing placed on a side track returned to itand laid down. Soon after he was injuredby an engine running against the car., Held.that, although not then a passenger, .vet, Ifprudent attention to his horse rendered itproper for him to be in the car— and of thatthis inquiry is to judge—he was rightfullythere, and defendant owed him a dutyof careto avoid injuring him.

Judgment affirmed.

The fact that a guardian, licensed tosell real estate, filed the oath required bystatute, is sufficiently proved by such anoath, dated before the sale, found among theregular files of the probate court, althoughthe fact or date of filing was not indorsedupon itby the probate judge.

Normal School Admissions.A consultation was held yesterday at

the capitol between the members of theboard and some members of the city ofSt. (loud and S. S. Parr, superintend-ent of schools. The bill of Senator(raven was discussed, which providesthat normal schools shall receive no pu-pils from towns having high schools,unless those pupils could pass an ex-amination in the first two years' work ofthe high schools. The bill will proba-bly be withdrawn, as the normal boardat present fixes that standard for thecity of St. Cloud, and where it is re-quested, by other towns having highschools the" board will be willingto setthe same standard. |
