The Late Election on the High School
Question:.

The Late Election on the High School
Question.
DR.. Dana, pastor of the Plymouth church,
delivered discourse, last evening. upon the
recent vote in this city on the issue of bonds
for building High school. He took for mis-
text Haggai I, Consider your ways
The reverend speaker began by urgi, a
calm consideration of the action taken
at the late city election, with q
ol sr reversing ei ssa%ek ss deoon ey a if Asf
deprecating the tendency to partisan feeling at
an election and disclaiming any desire save to
advance the best interests of st. Paul, he pro-
ceeded to consider the lessons of the election.
The public indifference was manifested by
the fact that 4,o64 votes were cast for mayor,
and only 3,733 on the question of issuing
bonds, showing that 3sl who voted for mayor
did not take interest enough to vote on the
High school question. It would have been
more to our credit if the total vote in reference
to the High school had been the largest, for
that would have indicated interest and opinion
respecting matter which affected each indi-
vidual and the city as an entirety. No city can
hope to prosper long wherein public apathy az
to grave local questions exist.
He regretted that the matter had not been
submitted alta special, instead of municipal
election, as then there could have been a vote
on its merits, while as it was 1t was mere
appendage to partisan tickets. 1t was met and
disposed of mainly upon partisan grounds. In
fact, it was humiliating that the party which
has always claimed to be the representative of
the most advanced ideas, the friend of educa-
tion, ETC., was afraid to commit itself to the
support of the measure lest it might prejudice
the interests of its local candidates. How help
full it is to trim in such matters is now ap
parent.
WHAT OUR RECORD Is.
Notwithstanding it is generally admitted that
the High school at present is not properly
housed, that the rooms are unhealthy and in
every way unfit for their use, we have voted
down the proposition to erect building. Gc
to Minneapolis Chicago, Cleveland, Milwaukee
Detroit, and on the sea board, and no city has
as yet, ventured to make the recored We have
What they glory in we have voted to dispense
with. From the Pacific to the Atlantic
coast, st. Paul cannot find companion te
share in the singularity of this anomalous
record.
Abiding to the alleged charge that the Catho.
lies opposed the High school, the speaker sale
that while their papers had done so, yet in
voting numbers recorded themselves in favor
of it for local reasons, and in loyalty to the
city they have done much in building up, be-
lieved it expendient, under the circumstances
to properly have the High school here existing
Certain property owners and leading business
men opposed it as unjust, and increasing bur
dens of taxation, ETC., while they helped tx
burden the city by the issue of bonds for othe
improvements without submitting the matte
to the people.

MISTAKES IN THE CANVASS.

MISTAKES IN The CANVASS.
He considered that there were very serious
mistakes made. The bill provided too high a
rate of interest on the bonds. In view of tho
improvement bonds the Market House bonds
and other projects it was an unfortunate time
to submit it. 1t would have been better to
have discussed the matter more thoroughly be-
the local argument was properly
pressed it prevailed with kCatholic and
Protestant, Democrat and Republican alike.
A free discussion, would, he believed, have
carried it az local measure. Itwas the school
itself that the opponents of the measure sought
to club to death. Only the public affirmation
that the project is deferred can save us from
material and moral injury, of nature, too.
that railroad depots and machine shops can
not repair. We are playing the role of grave
| diggers for the first High school ever buried by
| a municipal vote.
| provement or market house bonds had opposed
! the issue of High school bonds on the grounds
| of taxation. We are now paying $2, 600 rental
for the high school and $3.50 for the superin-
| tendent and board of education room, making
| $3.50, while the interest on $50, 900 of bonds
would have been but 500. 1t would have
added $50 600 to the assets of the city, it would
have increased the value of contiguous prop
erty for taxation and in reality have been an
economic measure.
In conclusion, he urged that st. Paul should
acknowledge her mistake, and wisely and
unitedly proceed to devise some plan to care
| for the High school. Unless this was done St
Paul would be distanced in the race frr su
premacy with competing cities. He added:
II would have our citizens evince due regard
for St. PauTs reputation among the cities Of
the land. 1 would not dispense with now and
| here what commands cordial and liberal
maintenance in all other civic communities

mercial metropolis only, but to St. Paul as ar
