The council met last evening and approved several bonds and contracts.

The appropriation bill was signed and adjournment was taken until Tuesday. The house of delegates met with twenty-seven members. As outlined in the Post-Dispatch yesterday there was an organized effort in the interest of the saloon-keepers to kill the dram-shop high-licence bill, but it failed of its purpose, as foreshadowed. The opinion of the city counselor was read, and the bill reported from the council was read the first time. Mr.

Harris moved to reject the bill on the ground that It was unconstitutional and generally obnoxious. Jlr.Cornel-ius was opposed to that way of choking off a discussion as to the merits or demerits of the measure. To reject on first reading would be discourteous and unparliamentary. Mr. McManus wanted to throttle the bill there and tr.en.

Mr. Terry thought that it would be an act of cowardice to reject at that stage. The speaker said that the house was allowing a discussion of the motion to reject. He was not responsible for such a proceediug. Mr.

Walsh objected to any further discussion of the matter, and Mr. Wol-finger pronounced ths whole confab a ridiculous exhibition. The roll was at length called, with the following result: On the motion to reject, yeas: Messrs. Alt. Brennan, Brockmeier, Bruegge-inann, Cossmann, Egan.

The speaker declared that it required a two-thirds majority vote to reject, and hence the measure was defeated on the first reading. The general appropriation bill was adopted with amendments from the council, read the last time, and passed. The meat-shop license bill was read the first time before adjournment.

-It cannot fail to awaken a new sympathy for the whole Jewish race, among the intelligent people of the hole world, but it shows a strange survival of barbarism in communities that have long ranked as civilized. We send missionaries to Africa and to and we believe that there are even some well-meaning persons who subscribe money for the conversion of the Jews. It would be worth the attention of philanthropists to send money to Hungary for the conversion of those who persecute the Jews, and if there is anything left over, there is a fine missionary field in Berlin. been acting with the democrats since 1872, to say that the driver was not to blame. He did not stop the car entirely, but slackened the speed so that any man could have gotten on easily; and undoubtedly the gentleman who made the complaint could have gotten on the car without any trouble had it not beeu for a very stout policeman who stood on the step (and who paid no fare), thereby blockading the way.

From the New York World. In the eleven months between July and May 31 last year there were 322,182 immigrants from Germauy, Austria, Norway and Sweden, against 66,000 from Ireland. For the eleven months ending with last May there were 225,216 from the former states against 62,000 from Ireland. These figures are suggestive. Are we to look to Germany for our principal increase in foreign-born population hereafter? The main portion of the German, Austrian, Swedish and Norwegian Immigrants go to the western and southern states.
