"a single moment conceive that because

does firmly believe every word he

the railroad, If the bonds are voted,
will be completed inside Of two years
from date; he does believe that there
would be large emigration into this
county and the adjoining portions Of
Sherbufne and Isanti counties after il
was definitely determined there was to
be railroad; he believe that in. few
years, taxes would be less i'll proper
ton than they arc a present, because
the county would have increased in
wealth and population; and lastly he
believes chat the town of Princeton
would become quite a manufacturing
point, and that there would be hun.

turing lumber. especially hard wood
lumber, Of which this county has got
such immense quantities thus afford

An that city asEort time ago, on what
Catholics do not believe the Globe
Democrat Of the 23rd contains inter-
views with thirty two Of the leading
Protestant clergymen; all of them
agree that the Bishops lecture was
able and eloquent. but very erroneous
IL some points. The Rev, DR.. sny der,

thought a religious controversy be-,
tween Catholicism and Professionalism
would be religiously and theological

pend upon the manner in which such
an issue would be discussed, / see no
insurmountable or inherent difficulty
in gentlemen of my profession being
both Christian and gentleman in the

cussion disfgured with passion and per.
sonalities is an unmixed evil, But Il
full discussion Of the claims and purpo-
ses Of the Catholic Church may be of
great advantage at the present time.
1t may tend to open the eyes OF good
many jealous protestants, who, by
their efforts to tinge the schools and
institutions of this country with &C.
clesiasticism, are playing into the

OUR understanding, and the PROPOSE
ton reads just as we understand it, is
that, the bonds Of this county are not
to be delivered nor Issued to any CON-
pany until the railroad is built and
ready for the passage Of cars thereon;
such is the language Of the proposition
and it seems to Us plain enough. II
the railroad were not to be built for
10 years during all that time the
county would not-be out one nickel for
the bonds do not come into existence
until the read is completed; Some
folks have got'it through their wool
that the bonds win bear interest from
the time they are voted, this is very
absurd idea; the proposition states that
the interest on the bonds shall be pay,
able to the company annually and the
company cannot come into possession
of the bonds until the road is com.
pleted, and if the company choose to
wait nineteen years the company and
not the county would be the loser.
We defy any Of those who are OPP
posed to the railroad to point out a
signle defect in the proposition,
