most cordially welcome the world. And
when you shall come to us you will not
come 10 frontier country, with tho
hardships of pioneer life to endure, but
70 the very center of refined society.
! You Will come to state whose govern
ment sits so lightly upon the shoulders
of its citizens that they scarcely know
of its existence, save through election
day. You will come to a state SO cos
mopolttan in its character, its people
having come from every section Of this
union and the nations, that mono Is
asked aught of his religion, his politics

, small that tax of 4 of per cent. for but

4 class free universities, its free colleges
8 and normal institutes, its $500 free
3 school houses, its 10000 enrolled pupils
its annual allotment of 81, 900 TO these
