"A Declaration Of Principles With
a True Democratic Ring.

The Democrats of Minnesota by their
delegates represented in state conven-
ton do declare our Allegiance to the
principles Of our party as stated in the
platform of the national Democratic
convention of 1892. We arc in entire
sympathy with the efforts OF the DEM
ocratic party 10 overthrow the oppres--
sive Republican protective tarif sys-
tem.
We are proud OF the splendid battle
waged and won against the combined
forces of monopoiies and trusts created
by Republican legislation.
We heartily commend the wise. able
aud patriotic administration OF Presi-
dent Cleveland. We are in favor OF
the free coinage of silver whenever it
can be accomplished consistently with
the maintenance Of q sound aud safe
currency.
We favor an amendment of the con-
stitution providing for the election of
United States senator's by u direct vote
Of the people.
We demand the enactment of such
laws as will permit the Investment of
public moneys in municipal ana school
securities of our state.
We demand the most rigid economy
fair of the state.
We .iehounce the American Protect.
i've association and all secret political
organizations as unpatriOtic and uh
American.
Resolved, That it Is the purpose of
the Democratic party that every true
soldier who served his country in pre-.
serving the Union is entitled to the
gratitude Of the American people and
the support by the government under
generous pension laws.
We congratulate the wOrkingmen and
women Of The land on the daWning Of u
new day of promise by the passage Of
the Democratic tariff bill y
We reassert the determination of the,
Democracy of Minnesota to strive in
every way 10 pass laws that will meet
the approval aud improve the opuur.I
tunity of ali who toll for bread. L
We favor the taxation of railroad
lands, provided the same can be dOnei
without the impairment of The present
gross earnings system of taxation. That
laws be enacted which will compel the
owners of mines and mineral lands to
bear ii just proportion of taxation with
other property of the state. .
We believe in the principles of arbi-
tration and Cancellation in adjusting, the
disputes between labor and capital and

HILL SEMINARY OPEN.
1t Starts Out en- Its Career
of Fame This Morn
ing.
SEVEN LARGE BUILDINGS
In the Form Of a u Adorn
the Pretty Spot on
the River.
CORPS OF RENOWNED MEN
Make Up the Faculty Of That
Institution and st.
Thomas.

The Hill seminary enters upon its
career of activity today.
opens with about sixty-five divinity
students and staff Of nine professors.
There was nothing special to mark the
opening OF this great institution, but
one of the professors assured the. GLOBE
reporter that the ceremonies" would
be supplied later.
The new seminary has been in the
course OF construction for some time,
and presents, now that it is finished, a
magnificent appearance. There are
seven buildings in all. arranged in the
shape Of u. Facing the river
is the administration building. mad
back of that, facing one another.
are the class building and chapel, the
dormitories, the gymnasium and re-
fectory. These structures. arranged as
they are, give hOme-Iike appearance
to the institution, ana this no doubt will
grow more and more upon the students.
A more lovely site could scarcely be
imagined for seat of learning. 1t is
safe to say that the grounds about the
seminary, which should be :hristened
Hill Park will become favorite re-
sort for the sight-seers and air-seekers
of st. Paul and Minneapolis.
The new seminary is unique in many
respects-in the plan Ut its construction,
the perfection OF its appointments, the
beauty of its surroundings and the
ability Of its teaching corps.
Some years ago Archbishop Ireland
proposed to himself the formation Of a
corps OF professors who would be expert
in their several departments. He has
pursued that policy, and today at the
head of his seminary are men not only
up with the times but lie to influence
and direct the current of thought of our
times. The best thought Of the best
universities of Europe and America
is thus placed within the reach of the
students in st. Paul.
AS for the cost of board and tuition, it
is safe to say that the Hill seminary is
unique in that respect also. The pen
sion for each student will BIZ only $3.50,
and even that will be reduced as soon as
may be. Hence, Notwithstanding all the
advantages which this new institution
possesses, 1t is the cheapest of its kind
In America.
Right beside the seminary is st.
Thomas college, formerly used for a
seminary also. The. college resumed
work yesterday with a good attend
ance. This institution has great many
day scholars. and the rector. Father
Byrne. says that the numuer will
be very large this year, as the
tuition has been reduced TO $50 per
annum. A great many families have
this year taken up residence in the
vicinity Of the college, some of them
coming from afar. The staff of pro.
fessors has been increased IN this
school and all the branches of coul-
merclal and classical education are
taught. These colleges will surely and
speedily become centers of attraction
and light.
