boyHe Establishment q foundation made By
Lord Dunhoyne for the encouragement OF
students who, having completed with dis
tinetion the ordinary college curriculum,
are desirous of cultiyating more carefully
the sacred sciences.
The course of study is completed in seven
years, the four last being exclusively de-
voted to theology and It's kindred sciences,
the three first years embracing thorough
course in arts, mental and natural philoso-
ply, elementary and higher mathematics,
and al the matters comprised In the univer-
sity examinations for arts and science. In
deed, tie students are allowed to select, IS
an equivalent for The very complete exam
ination papers required semi-anuually dur
ing the three first years, those given to the
middle and senior grades by the Bosrd OF
intermediate Education, and these would
trythe mettle of the very best students OF

to put check or limit to to this evil For
more than thirty years II has been q thought
with me, that men Of limited means might
be relieved, Lot wholly, perhaps, but par
TALLY, of taxation, and that an increased
rate might justly and properly be imposed
upon eyory given excess of wealth. My
remedy would be graded system OF taxa

These matters are all well known to the
people who were here twenty-five years
ago. and unless the unbiased rumors re-
ferred to We're contradicted, they might and
would mislead the hundred and more
thousands who have been attracted to st.

mund Rice who, at the request of such men
as Capt. Blakeley,J j. L. and Horace ThOmp-
son, j. L. Merriam and E. f. Drake and
others. found the way prepared and passed
bill in our legislature whereby these gen
tlemen were enabled TO divide the Southern
Minnesota railroad grant of lands, and form
the ST. Paul q Sioux City railroad corpora
ton. build that important line, now so waltz
able part of the Omaha system. He was
always consulted, never refusing by word
OF act to second any and all enterprises
which would tend to bring about the Won
derful development which is now embodied
in the great commercial emporium of our
Northwest, st. Paul. Abandoning in 1857
his large and lucrative law practice to pro-
mote in every way in his power our great
railroad, he has pushed on needless OF his
nearest personal interests, until to-day we
have system unparalleled in any other
state. There has been no selfishness on his
part, no holding back, all for the cause.
His noted and honorable record is the pride
Of our people, who will respond on election
day and place him once more at the head of
our municipal affairs by a majority as COM
plimentary to him as commendable i'll them.
