tatiye Of Dublin, a city one thousand
wears old, Dublin's renown is IN the
past. It's history is the history OF the
world. 1t had produced great literary
men and great statesmen; and such
names as Burke, Grattau, Wellington
W,laeley and others would live forever.

government in the two cities. In Dub
lin the government appointed the police
and collected tue licenses, and, he said,
think how would Minneapolis manage il
the governor OF the state appointed tie
police and license money went into the
state or national truasury. He concluded Ell
by saying thai Dublin the old and Mime
the new stood together for Home hule
and free schools.
Lord Mayor Shanks responded at con-
siderable length. He wore upon MS

his office. collar which had been worn
With distinction, he said, by his prede-
cessors for centuries. He congratulated
Minneapolis aad St.Paul upon their site,
their energy, their schools, and tnelr
wonderful progress; he had been aston I
ished at what he had seen in MinneRpo-
lis, and thought onr success was largely
due to our school system. He alluded
to the fact that, while he was 9 Protest
ant, he thought that the rights q the the
Catholics to their own plan Of education
should be recognized. Minnesota was .'
the bright polar star Of the United
States, and her pro ress would be e re- 3.
