GUILFoRD COLLEGE, N. c., July 81.
While this institution was chartered
as College in 1888, as New Garden
Boarding School, it had a continuance
and successful operation from 1887 to
1888.
The school was from the very outset
furnished with liberal equipments for
that early day in our educational histo-
ry; and the men who, during its entire
academic life, served as principals were
known for the thoroughness of their
scholarship and the accuracy of their in
struction, solid attainment and modestly
being ever placed above mere pretension.
The principals of the school, with two
other exceptions, have been alumni of
Haverford College in Pennsylvania, and
have gathered about them a group of
instructors who have not only been well
trained for their work, but by the excel
lence and purity of their lives have ex-
erted an influence for dignity and worth
of character, and breadth and depth
of scholarship felt by the thousands of
young men and young women who have
been here educated.
From the opening of the school equal
advantages were offered to both sexes,

KANSAS RAILROAD TAX.
Charges That the Assessment Was Reduce

Charges That the Assessment Was Reduced
by COnnivance of Kansas Officials.
TOPEKA, KAN, Dec. 31.-The Journal
says that the official publication of the
Kansas railroad assessment for the
year 1894, which has just been issued,
was held back because it would have
made undesirable campaign literature.
1t has been customary in past years to
publish the assessment in the summer
when it is made. The report just
issued shows that the railroad assess
ment for 1894 is decreased by about
81, OOO, 900 OF this decrease the Santa
Fe railway obtains the benefit of ST.
100000. The remaining margin is
divided among all the other railways
of the state. The Rock Island
railway is especially displeased
at the low assessment obtained by
the Santa Fee railway. One of the
prominent officials of the former road
claims that the reduced assessment
was the result of straight-out
deal between the Santa Fe people
and some of the Kansas officials. 1t
was represented to the Rock Island
that if any reduction was made it
would obtain its share. The first as
sessment for 1894 increased the valua-
ton of the Rock Island $50, 900, but it
was finally reduced to the valuation of
two wears ago.
