EXBCDTITB DePABTMENT, >
Saint Padl. Jan. 7, 1875. )
Gentlemen (^ the Senate and House (f E^tresentatives :
It m customary in this state for the retiring goTemor to
conunuuicate to the legislature such information of the trans-
actions of the year as will aid that hody in the performance
of its duties.
I shall perform that tssk as adequately as may be consis-
tent with the restrictions of this occasion, referring for fuller
details than can he presented here to the reports of the
various officers.
THE STATE FINAKCBS.
The report of the state auditor presents a detailed exposi-
tion of the financial affairs of the state. The accompanying
condensed statement will inform you of the substantial facts
pertaining to the administration of that ofBce.
He states the actual value of taxable property to be at least
9300,000,000, making allowance for all exemptions.
He found that the special state tax of one-half mill im-
posed by the act of last winter would probably be unnecessary,
and therefore took the responsibility, with my approval, of
certifying to the county auditors two and one-tenth mills only.
The amount which this per centum will yield will be found
sufficient, with delinquent taxes to be collected, and other
sources of revenue, to meet all deferred appropriations, the
zedbyGoOgle

expenaes of the state government, and all other necesaarT
public dighursement for the ensuing year.
The auditor renews hia approval of the present tax law, and
illustrates its efficiency by a comparison of its results with
those yielded by the former statutes.
He recommends the re-enactment of that provision of the
act of 1874 by which a penalty of ten per cent, was imposed
upon all amounts returned delinquent on account of taxes up-
on real estate, and be also advises the restoration of the
penalty of five per cent, as to personal property taxes so re-
turned.
He animadverts with just severity upon the practice of
undervaluation of property for purposes of taxation, and re-
commends the abandonment ot the present system of towU'
ship assessors and the substitution of comity assessors, citing
the favorable results which the operation of the plan last
named has secured in the coanty of Ramsey.

of narrow gauge roads in those portions of the state where
new railroad facilities are needed.
There are now in Minnesota 1,954^ miles of railroad in
operation. These roads are represented by ^6,105,920 of
stock, and carry a total funded debt of $86,684,539, and a
floating debt of $5,735,192.
The reported gross earnings of these roads for the year
were $4,952,152.99, a decrease of $1,242,516.19 from the
earnings of the preceding year. The operating expenses
were $3,925,322.14, leaving the net earnings only $1,026,-
830.85, showing a decrease from the net earnings of the
previous year of $867,969.66.
The agitation and discussion of the relative obligations of
the railroad companies and rights of the people have resulted
in a better understanding, and in sentiments of concession
and conciliation in both parties to the controversy. These
sentimente found expression in the act approved March 8th,
1875. I feel authorized to state, from the entire absence of
complaint, that the act has given satisiaction, and that no
farther legislation will be necessary so long as the present
situation remains unchanged.
THK JUniCIAKY.
In some of the judicial districts of this state the labor im-
posed by the increased business, which has resulted from in-
creased population and wealth, has been found too great to
be disposed of by one judge. It has been the judgment of
the I^al profession that under the constitution there can be
only one judge in a district. It has been found necessary,
therefore, as to the counties of Ramsey and Hennepin, to es-
tablish courts of common pleas, with powers co-ordinate
with those of the district courts. The existence of two
courts with equal powers is in itself anomalous, and &b
practical result has been to complicate the important records

mcident to judicial proceedings —an inconvenieace which in-
creases in the progress of time.
The last legislature accordingly submitted to the people an
amendment of the judiciary clause of the constitution, by
which it is provided that in each of the judicial districts, as
the legislature may prescribe, one or more judges may be
elected by the electors thereof, whose term of office shall be
seven years, and that each of said judges shall severally have
and exercise the powers of the court under the limitations
prescribed by law.
This amendment also provides that in case any court of
common pleas heretofore established shall be abolished, the
judge of such court may be constituted by the legislature,
one of the judges of the district court of the district wherein
such court has been so established, for a period not exceeding
the unexpired term for which he was elected.
This amendment was adopted at the last general election,
and it will become your duty to give by law such effect to its
provisions as the public interests may seem to require.
I am not aware that any of the counties except Ramsey and
Hennepin require at present any legislation under this amend-
ment. Each of these counties has a court of common pleas
for which there is one judge in Hennepin county and two
judges in Ramsey county. A statut« which will transfer these
judges to the district court will simplify records, systematize
the judicial system of those counties, and materially diminish
the expeuBe of the courts.
WKSrmJTIONAL AUBNnMEKTS.
In each of my former messages the attention of the legis-
lature was directed to the unsatisfactory provision of the con-
stitution relative to the investment of the school fund.
An amendment was adopted at the last election by which
the legislature is directed to make suitable laws for the in-
vestment of the principal and interest of this fund in bonds
of the United States or of this State, or of such other state
as the legislature may &om time to time direct.
An amendment to the constitution was adopted at the last
election by which the legislature is empowered to provide by
JigiLizedbyGoOglc
OOTEBKOB'B HS88A0S. 9
lav that any woman of the age of twenty-one years and up-
wards may vote at any election held for the purpose of choos-
ing any officers of schools, or upon any measure relating to
schools, and may also provide that any such woman may be
eligible to hold any office pertaining solely to the manage-
ment of schools.
It will be observed that this amendment does not of itself
confer this limited elective franchise upon the women. It
Buuf^y authorizes the l^ialature to grant it. I am persuaded
that the legislature ought to proceed to exercise the power
thus conferred upon it. It is doubtless the intention of the
people that oar schools and their administration shall be
sabjected to the direct influence of women, who, by nature are
the first teachers and the best. Their discipline and tuition
imparted before the youth are subjected to the training of
the schools, are at once the earliest and the most permanent
of all educational influences. All that is acquired in those
maturer years after the youth has graduated in that domestic
school where the loving teachings of his mother form his
character and mind for all time, is built upon the foundation
which she has constructed. To say that, at the time her
child becomes teachable at school, the institutions in which
it is taught should be removed &om her direct influence and
given over to the exclusive control of men, is to advocate a
system of education in which the councils, the experience)
the intuitions which sometimes are wber than the wisdom of
the wisest men, shall be entirely wanting.
I have regretted, in the administration of the duties of my
office, that I could not appoint women to positions which will
give them a voice in the management of some of the state
institutions. They are needed in the institute for the deaf,
dumb and blind, to guide their sisters through the labyrinth
of darkened or deadened senses. They are needed in the
hospital for the insane, to aid in the removal of the cloud of
deUrium or delusion in which so many women walk. They
are needed at tiiie state reform school, where little girls are to
be reclaimed by gentler means than man knows firom the
pattis of vice or temptation toward which they have b^un to
stray. This subject is earnestly commended to your dispas-
noniUe and unprejudiced consideration.

The report of the attorney general is aubmitted for yoar
consideration. It contains a statement of the l^al businesB
transacted by that officer during the year in the coarts on
behalf of the state. In cases where decisions have been
reached, the points decided are stated in this report.
It will be seen upon exdmination of this document, that
many questions of great importance hare paased to adjudica-
tion, and it is gratifying to note the promptitude and success
with which the rights of the public have been maintained.
Perhapsthe most important of these questions is the one
which involved the coi^titutionality of the act of 1873, en-
titled: " An act to establish a fund for the foundation and
maintenance of an asylum for inebriates." The supreme court
has beld the law valid. An examination of the act has con-
vinced me that some amendments will be required in order to
render more efficient the instrumentalities by which the tax
is to be collected.
ADJirrAjrr qknebal's office.
The transactions in the adjutant general's office are exhib-
ited in the accompanying report. The most important
function of this ofiico is the administration of the law of
1873, by which it is made the duty of the adjutant general
to act as claim agent fur alt j>ersous liaviiig claims against
the United Statest for i^nsions, bounty or back pay arising
out of the late civil war, and to prosecute such demands
without pay from the claimant. This system was adopted
in the state in 1865, and since that time the adjutant general
has collected 1497,646.44 of these claims. The office is now
in prosecution of claims amoimting to about ^400,000. This
office protects the soldier from the rapacity of the claim
agent, and it should be continued if for no other reason.
INSURANCE.
The fourth annual report of the insurance commissioner
is herewith submitted.
It appears Irom this report that the number of fire, marine
and fire, and marine companies authorized to transact busi-

ness in this state on the first day of May, 1875, was eighty.
Of this amnber two were Minnesota companies i sixty-seven
were organized under the laws of other states of the Union;
eleven were from foreign countries.
The aggregate assets of all these companies is, |85,050,176 34
Their aggregate reinsurance reserve is, 30,907,087 37
Their a^regate surplus as to policy holders ia 48,729,828 19
A^regate premiums received was, 59,552,833 23
Total losses paid were, 25,647,559 47
Their transactions in Minnesota for the year 1874, gi*e
the following result:
Risks writtMi, $60,842,209 00
Premiums received, 940,137 67
Lossespaid. 251,357 77
Losses incurred, 247,712 60
The commissioner recommends that no change be made in
the statutes by which the minimum amount of paid up cap-
ital is fixed at two hundred thousand dollars in order to ena-
ble a company to transact business in this state.
The act of 1873 authonzed the service of original process
in suite against a company upon the insurance commissioner
or upon an agent of the company named by it. This law
was afterwards so amended, as to the American companies,
as to omit the requirement of service upon the commissioner.
That officer states iu bis report that cases have arisen where
agents have removed from the state, or died, thereby causing
delay and difficulties to suitors seeking legal redress. He
recommends that the provisions of the act of 1873 be re-
stored to the extent at least of allowing service of process
apon the commissioner in cases such as he has referred to.
The commissioner advocates the enactment of a law in this
state, similar to what is known as the New York surplus law,
providing for the creation and maintenance of surplus or
safety funds by fire insurance companies, for the greater
security of policy holders, in cases of extraordinary confla-
grations. This law is intended to better secure, not alone
the interests of policy holders whose property is burned, but
also the interests of that large class of policy holders whose
property has not been burned, but who have purchased in-

Burance and are entitled to receive it, or a return of the un-
earned premiums in case of a failure on the part of the
companieB, from any cause, to carry out its contracts. The
importance of any legislation which will enhance the secu-
rity of policy holders, is at once apparent. The grounds
upon which the commissioner's recommendation is hased,
are fully set forth in his report. The subject is respectfully
cconmended to your consideration.
The number of life insurance policies issued in Minnesota
during thf year covered by this report was 3,588. The
amount insured thereby was $6,053,259, for which the pre-
miums collected were $497,704.26. The amount of losses
paid was $201,797,46.
The commissioner renews his recommendation that the
law establishing the standard of reserve be changed irom six
per cent, to four and one-half per cent, interest, in conformity
with the action of nearly all the other states.
LUHBBB INTERESTS.
The condition of our lumber interests is exhibited in the
reports of the surveyor general.
In the first or Stillwater district, there were
scaled 177.316,829 feet.
In the second or Mirneapolis district, 149,350,820 feet.
In the fifth or Dnluth district, 955,761 feet.
BT. CBOIX AND LAKE SUPERIOR CANAL.
By an act of the legislature approved March 9th, 1875, a
board of commissioners was constituted and named in the
act, whose duties were prescribed by the statute. To cany
out its provisions $3,000 was appropriated. Hon. W. G.
Ward, one of the board, declined to act. Their duties were.
First — To examine the country, rivers and lakes lying be-
tween the bead of steamboat navigation on the St. Croix
river and the waters of Lake Superior at the head of that
lake, to determine the most feasible route for acanal cpnnect-
ing those points.
Second — To make a careful and correct survey of the
route which promises most for the Biture development of the
country.
zedbyGoOglC
ootebnob'b message. 13
Tliird — To make report to the legislature, which report
shall be accompanied with maps and drawings, showing as
near as practicable the features of the country over which
such surrey may pass, and a careful estimate of the cost for
the construction of such water channel or canal.
They were also required to extend their survey so as to be
able to include in their report a correct statement regarding
the feasibility of a canal from Duluth to some point upon
the Mississippi river near Sandy Lake in this state.
The report of the commissionehi is herewith transmitted.
It will be seen from this document that the board has per-
formed only the first of the duties prescribed by the act, viz. :
thai of preliminary examination. The commissioners state
that they had not time or means sufficient to make a survey.
Three routes were examined, and the conclusion to which
the board arrives is that the preferable one is via the Bois
Brule and St. Croix rivers, noting as the greatest and only ob-
jection to this route the fact that there is no natural harbor
at the mouth of the Brule river — an objection which, without
explanation, would seem decisive against the conclusion of
the board— the report stating that this stream enters the
lake where it has a straight line of shore for many miles,
affording no natural harbor whatever.
Another route examined was from the Dalles, at Taylor's
Palls, to the mouth of the Namecogon river, thence up that
rivet and across the sommit to the waters of White river, or
some stream to be ascertained to be moat feasible to connect
with the waters of Lake Superior. This line is two hundred
and fifty miles long. The report does not state explicitly
how many miles of c^ial excavation will be required. It
does state that it will involve the construction of nineteen
dams and nineteen locks, and indeterminately speaks of
"several more."
The third route examined lies via the St. Croix, Kettle,
Black Hoof and Left Hand rivers, a distance of about two
hundred miles. There is a fall of forty-five feet in nine miles
above the mouth of Kettle river, to overcome which dams
will be manifestly necessary, though how many the report
does not state. The &lls of Kettle river make a descent of
nearly eighteen feet, and from the head of lower falls, so
JigiLizedbyGoOgle
14 oovbrkok'b UESSAOB.
ciJled, to the head of upper falls, a distance of four and oue-
h^f miles, the river falls a distance of twenty-five feet. How
many dams or locks will be found necessary to overcome
these obstacles is not stated.
It is to be regretted that the board bad not time and means
to come to more explicit results. It is for the legislature to
consider whether the conclusions of the commission warrant
fiirther appropriations.
THE COUUOX SCHOOLS.
On the third day of April, 1875,1 appointed David Burt,
of Winona, to the office of superintendent of public instruc-
tion. This officer brought to the discharge of his duties litf^
experience in our common schools, warm sympathy with the
cause of popular education, and the special qualification of
finished and tolerant scholarship. His report is a practical
document, and deals with several questions which will engage
your consideration.
I am unable to agree with the superintendent in his anim-
adversions upon the act of 1875, by which it was in sub-
stance provided that an annnal tax of one mill on the amount
of a^essment shall be levied, and when collected distributed
by giving to each school district the amount of tax collected
in that district, ^rior to the passage of this act, an annual
tax of two mills was levied and apportioned among the sev-
eral school districts of the county in proportion to the num-
ber of persona in the district between the ages of five and
twenty-one years. It will be perceived that the operation of
these statutes differs in this, that the former law, while it ex-
acted taxes of the entire county, distributed them on a per
capita basis, whereby the large towns or cities were made as
ageneral rule to contribute for the support of schools in the
country, while under the present law each district receives
just what it pays.
Under the former system, the city of Winona raised $9,274,
of which $7,014 went to the support of the schools in that
city, while $2,260 was applied to the support of schools in
every district of the county outside of Winona. It hap-
pened in one instance that the system worked the other way.
.vCoogIc
OOVERNOB'd HBE9A0G. 15
for St. Paul received from Ramsey county f 1,000. But this,
too. seeiiLs onjnat. The citizens of Minneapolis, as I am in-
formed, ascertained that under the former law the city would
be obliged to contribute nearly 810,000 to the support of the
rural schools of the populous and wealthy county of Henne-
pin, and therefore for the special relief of that city a statute
was pas.<ied before the date of the enactment of the present
law, excepting Minneapolis from the operation of^ the former
system. I am unable to see why the citizens of the city of
Winona should be taxed to support the schools of St. Charles,
for the reason that there may be in that county some pour
and sparsely populated districts outside of both these towns
which encounter difficulties in paying for their own schools.
It must W considered that the rate of taxation in the cities
for municipal and other purposes is much higher than in the
countrj' towns, and thii) fact see?us to be a valid answer to
the argument that the pre.fent law tends to exempt the
wealthier communities from helping the poorer communities
in the education of their children.
It is declared by the constitution of Minnesota, that the
income arising from the lease ur sale of school lands shall he
distributed to the different townships throughout the state
in proportion to the number of scholars in each township
between the ages of five and twenty-one years, and shall be
faithfully applied to the specific objects of the original grants
or appropriations. By the same article of the constitution, it
is made the duty of the legislature to establish a general nnd
auiform system of public schools.
The statutes require the superintendent of public instruc-
tion to apportion semi-annually, the available school funtis
in the state treasury among the several counties in propor-
tion to the number of persons between the ages of five and
twenty-one years. In other words, the constitution requires
the money to be distributed in proportion to the number of
scholars, while the statute makes the number of persons tlie
baeis.
The important question arises whether the basis upon
which this money has heretofore been distributed is not in
contravention of the constitutional provision? The super-
intendent thinks that it is, and in this I ^ree with him.
JigiLizedbyGoOglc
16 oovernob's message.
The word "scholars" has a definite meaniiig, more limited
than the word "persons," and was doubtless used by the
iramers of the constitution with a view to precision. The
primary definition of the word "scholar" is "one who learns
of a teacher." It is perfectly obvious that there must be in
every community many persona who are not described by
any definition of which the word "scholar" is susceptible.
The answer to this question concerning the validity of the
statute is found in a mere statement of the proposition, and
seems to be conclusive.
The subordinate question then arises, does the word
"scholars" as used in the constitution mean pupils in all
schools or only pupils in the public schools !
I have come to the conclusion with the superintendent that
the townships are entitled to this money upon the basis of
scholars in the public schools. Without stopping to support
this conclusion by any elaborate exposition of the constitution
upon this subject, it must suffice for present purposes to ob-
serve that the provisions of that instrument pertain solely to
- a.system of public schools, and require the legislature toestab-
lish them generally and uniformly. It cannot be supposed
that, while imposing this duty, it was intended to attack and
weaken the system by a basis of apportionment which should
be unafi'ected by tjie number of pupils attending the public
schools. It is found that under the present law the
number of scholars enrolled in the city of St. Paul in 1874 in
the public schools was 2,760, white it reported 15,114 persons
between the ages offive and twenty-one years. The citythus
secured a basis of apportionment over five times the number
of scholars enrolled. The same advantages resulted in other
large towns in the state, who have thus obtained an undue
proportion of the school monej's at the expense of the rural
districts.
These subjects, with others presented by this report, are
commended to your attention.
THK 8TATB UKIVERSITT,
The university of Minnesota has made substantial pro-
gress during the year. There are now two hundred and
thirty-seven students in attendance. By the construction

uovernor'6 message. 17
of new buildings and the important acquisition of laboratoiy,
geological cabinet, and otber instroments of infitruction,
the bcilities of the university have been very much in-
creased.
The r^ents report that about thirty-one sections of salt
spring lands are due to this state from the United States
imder the act by which Minnesota was admitted into the
union, and they request the legislature memorialize con-
gress for leave to make selections of this quantity of land.
[ hare had occasion to examine the facts upon which this
claiin is based. They are too complicated to admit of ade-
quate statement in this i)aper, but I have no doubt of the
entire justice of the claim. You will find a full exposition
of the fiicts in the special report of Prof. Winchell which ac-
companies the report of the board of regents, which will en-
able yon to fiilly apprise our senators and representatives in
congress of the grounds upon which this demand is
founded.
From the financial statement, the following facts ajJiwar in
relation to the permanent university fund.
Whole number of acres granted by Congress, ^02,000
.\cres sold to pay debts, 14,000
Acres sold for permanent fund, :)8,626
Acres unsold. 149,374
The total productive permanent fiind is now $246,648 78
The board concludes its report with an upiieal to the
friends of education in all sections of the State to aid our
youth in their efforts to attain this free higher education
which the university of Minnesota now offers, by making
the town and city schools conform their courses as far as
|i08sible, so as to prepare students for the university, and in
this way make our school system complete, and a collegiate
education accessible to all.
In every annual message which I have written, I have urged
the legislature to make this idea a working element in our
sj'stem of education, and I regret that the present adminis-
tration must close with that result unaccomplished.

These institutions have graduated since their foundation.
415 pupils, and it is the concurrent testimony of all who are
■ connected with the administration of our system of education,
that the influence of these graduates is now felt most benefi-
cially throughout the state. The superintendent of public in-
struction, acting under the authority conferred upon him by a
resolution of the state normal board, has called upon the
principals and teachers of these schools for services in the
institutes. He has thereby secured an extensive application
of the methods of teaching which form the chief excellence
of the normal system.
The state normal board report that in addition to the

required to de&a; expeuseB:

A special allowance of $1,100 for books and apparatus is
asked for the three schools, and also |1,000 to grade and
fence the grounds at Winona, The building at Mankato is
in a precarious condition by reason of imperfect construction.
and it will be both economical and wise to have it thor-
oughly repaired before it shall become irreparably injured.
STATE KEPORH SCHOOL.
The transactions of the state reform school are disclosed
in the report of the board of managers. It has been conduct-
ed with economy, and its beneficent effects become more
Hpptirent every year. Sufficient time since its foundation
has now elapsed to enable its practical results to be cited to
attest its usefulness. It has discharged 171 pupils, and of
them only three or four have relapsed into vicious habits.
The others are useful members of society, sustaining tl\eni'
selren by trades taught them in the institution.
The. managers are decided in their riews of the impolicy
of the present laws by which each county is compelled to
pay for the support of inmates sent from it to Uie school.
They are persuaded that the usefulness of the institution
and the end of its establishment are thereby thwarted in
many instances, and they recommend that such expense be
borne by the state, as in the case of the prison, the institute
for the deaf and dumb and the insane asylum.
A permanent supply of pure water is needed, to procure
which an appropriation of $3,000 is asked.
The amount asked for ordinary expenses is the same as
last year, yiz. :
For officers' salaries, wages and expenses, $10,000
For general current expenses, 17,000

DKAF, DUMB, AND BLIND.
The report of the directors of the institute for the deuf
and dumb and the blind accompanies the message.
An appropriation was made last winter of |I5,000, for the
erection of the main building, connecting the wings, which
ure lUready constructed. The basement has been built for
about $9,000, leaving an unexpended balance of about
$6,000. The estimate of the sum necessary to complete the
building is $44.000 ; deducting said balance, $6,000, leaves
$3ti,000, for which an appropriation is asked.
The Dumber of pupils in attendance during the year is 110
in the deaf and dumb department, and 21 in the blind de-
partment.
SOLDtKRS' ORPHANS' HOME.
Soon after the close of the war, the state took charge of
the children orphaned by that strife, and established a home
for them at Winona, in which they are prepared to act an
honorable and usefol part in life. The present number of
these children is 74, showing a diminution of 11 during the
year. The duration of this institution is limited in the
nature of things, and the trustees state that they hare acted
upon the theory that the tax>payers expect its work to be
finished at as early a day as may be found consistent with the
object of its establishment. They have accordingly made
the tests for admission more stringent on each year. They
ask an appropriation, to meet the expenditures of the ensuing
year, of $16,000 — a reduction of $2,000 from what was
granted in 1875, and of $4,000 &om the grant of 1874.
HOBtTTAL FOB THE INSANB.
The trustees of the hospital for the insane have submitted
their aunnal report. They announce the completion of the
asylum, and express tiieir belief that it will compare favorably
with any similar institution in tiie country.
During the year, M9 patients received treatment; 135 have
been discha]^^, leaving 434 inmates on Dec. 1st, 1875. It
is estimated that tiie average daily attendance for the ensuing
JigiLizedbyGoOglc
OOTBRMOB's HE8BAQE. 21
year will be 461 patients. Estdmating the coat of their
nuantenance at $3.75 per week each, makes the total cost
$89,895. This includes extraordinary expenses, salaries of
officers, wages of attendants, repairs, fuel, rations, clothing,
medicines, replacing bedding and furniture. Deducting from
this snm the surplus of the appropriation of last year, leaves
$83,500 requested for the expenses of the year 1876. Yon
are referred to the very able and interesting report of the
SQperintendent for a detailed history of the institution dur-
ing the past year.
THE STATE PRISON.
The report of the inspectors of the state's prison contains a
detailed statement of the operations of that institution during
the past year.
The present number of convicts ia 146. The average num-
ber during the year is 138. The expenses of the prison have
been $39,999.07. Deducting ti-om this the earnings of the
prison and the value of supplies on hand. $20,678.88, leaves
the balance, $19,320.18, the actual cost. This is $139.16 for
«ach inmate, and is $19. 1 1 per capita less than last year.
The appropriations made at the lost eession for improve'
menta have been economically administered, leaving an un-
expended balance of $1,510.60. The prison building has been
enlai^;ed by the addition of fifty-two cells. Iron corridors
liave taken the place of wooden ones, and a stone floor has
been placed in the cell building. By the condemnation of
an adjacent tract of land, the state has secured some never-
fiuling springs of water and ground for a resen'oir.
This reservoir, which has a capacity of 5,000 barrels, bus
been constructed at an elevation of about one hundred and
fifty feet above the prison grounds, connected with tlie build-
i^S by pipes with hydrants at convenient points, so that
water can be thrown to any part of the buildings. It ia
grati^ing to remark that the improvements contemplated by
the appropriations of the last legislature have in no case
exceeded the amounts appropriated, and in several instances
have been made for less.
During last summer the roof and upper story of the boiler
and engine building were destroyed by fire, rendering imme-

diate repairs necessary. These were made at an expense of
(3,807.70, for wliicli an appropriation is asked.
When the reservior was completed it was fonnd that about
1,000 feet of hose was needed in order to make the water sup-
ply available in case of fire, to which institutions ofthischar*
acter are peculiarly liable. There being no appropriation for
this purpose, I authorized the inspectors to procure the same
on credit, which they did at a cost of |1,124.40.
The board requests the following appropriations, viz. : —
$15,000 to complete the wall around the prison grounds,
$12,000 to build a laundry and a bath house.
The inspectors call attention to the fact that while the law
requires the deputy warden to reside at tiie prison, the state
has provided for him no accommodations in the place where
it requires him to live. Either the law should be changed or
provision made to enable the deputy warden to comply with
it.
For the details of the management you are referred to the
reports of the warden, and the subordinate officers. The in-
stitution in all its departments has been conducted so unex-
ceptionably, that I have no criticisms to offer or improve-
ments to suggest.'
STATB HIETOKICAL SOCIETY.
The executive council, in presenttug the report of the
State Historical society, call attention to the inadequacy and
unsafeness of the rooms now occupied by the library and
collections. The library now contains over 16,000 volumes,
and IB especially rich in records, written and printed, per-
taining to the historj' of the state, and of that region which
was known as the Northwest Territory, long before civiliza-
tion appeared in any permanent form between the great
lakes and the Mississippi river. Such a collection should
not be subjected to risk of destruction, and the request of
the council for more commodious and secure rooms is ap-
proved for your favorable action.
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.
I have been furnished with an abstract of the report of the
.DigiLizedbyGoOglc
OOTKBKOB'S H£S8AQE. 2;^
Stut^ Board of Health, irom which it appears that the geu-
tlenien of the medical profeEBion of whom it is composed,
have been diligent in the performance of their very important
diiiiep. They have inspected the state institutions, and re-
imrt them to be in a satisfactory sanitary condition, except,
in H iew minor jtarticulars.
The board expresses its sense of the importance of an ine-
briate asylum, stating that within the last twenty years
many of these institutions have been established, and
that thirty-five per cent, of the inmates have been per-
manently restored to habits of sobriety, and have resumed
their places as useful members of society.
Attention is called to the fact that our laws make no suit-
able provision for the education and care of feeble-minded
children, and an inexpensive plan is proposed in this report.
The report contains suggeationa in regard to additions and
iniiirovementa to existing institutions, and recommends the
erection of another prison and asylum, for the insane. While
I apt>reciate the force of these recommendations, I feci bound
to state that I do not think that the state is in condition t»
engage immediately in the construction of new jiublic insti-
tutions involving direct appropriations fromithe treasury.
The board expresses its approval of the act of 1B75,
which provides for the appointment of inspectors of illumi-
natuig oil, and disapproves any reduction of the present
standard by whi^h it is tested. The law is of great
public importance, and should be rigidly enforced. The
inspectors are appointed by the judges of the district courts,
but no officer is empowered to remove them for inefficiency or
malfeasance in the perfonnance of their duties. It should bo
amended in this respect so that the governor, upon cause-
shown, may have the power to depose unworthy appointees.
THE CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION.
The legislature at its last session appointed a boanl of cen-
tennial commissioners, and made a small provisional appro-
priation to enable them to enter upon their work. It appears
from their report that they have taken steps to collect a cabi-
net of ores, minerals, fossils, soils, and building stones of the

state, aud apeciruens of our forest trees and [ilnutH. Tliey
liave aiicceeded by personal efl'orts in awakening a lively
intereMt among our manufacturers. They express very
emphatically their conviction that the occasion is one which
should be met by the state h» a stat«, and they recommend an
appropriation of $3i,O00 for that purpose. They recommeud
(IB to follow the example oi other western states, and to erect
a building to be exclusively uaed for the exhibition ot our
contributions.
We are now at the beginning of the hundredtli year of
our national indeijeudence. For one century the idea of self
government us embodied in our constitution hu-s been snb-
jecied to all the tests which try the stability of uations and
it has withstomi them all. Foreign war. territorial aggran-
dizement, the canker of peace, the disintegrating influence
of slavery, civil dissension ending in civil war, have by turns
attacked our institutions with all their powers of destruction,
only to leave those institutions firmer and more glorious than
before.
At Philadelphia, in 1776, it was pronounced that all men
are created equal and that all governments derive their just
power from the consent of the governed, and it is now pro-
posed that at that city in the year 1876, the nations of the
earth shall meet iu comiuemoration of that event and vie in
exposition of the products of art and industry.
This occiwion is one which appeals for rec<^nitif)n to
everj' patriotic heart. This commemorative act is to Ix"
pertbrmed at a time when our country is at peace with all
nations; when the animosities of fraternal strife are nearly
effaced by the sweet oblivion of restored love for our country:
.when statesmen from every state are laboring together to
make the assurance of our future doubly sure; when no wont
is heard, no argument spoken for dismemberment of the
onion, when every thought is for its iwrpetuity: when the
influence of education has suffused the very being of every
citizen of the republic ; when art and science, keeping pace
with the advance of <nir country in prosperity, exhibit their
results on every hand, not only in the luxurious appliances
of eiviliz.ntion, but also in the satisfaction of the daily wants
of life.

You will find upon enquiry that other states hare made
liberal appropriations with which to enable them to take
their part in this historic pageant with dignity and propri-
ety, and I trust that Minnesota will appear among her sister-
hood in such guise that no comparison will put her to shame.
FISH COMUlSSIOy.
The report of the fish commissioners presents an interest-
ing account of their labors during the year.
They have placed in the waters of the state about 30,000
California salmon; 19,000 Atlantic salmon; 4,900 land-locked
salmon, dividing; them among the lakes and rivers of twenty-
two counties. In October last 400,000 eggs of the California
salmon were placed in hatching houses at Stillwater and Red
Wing. These eggs hatched with a very small percentage of
fidliire, and during the coming year the fry will be deposited
in our waters. The commissioners have also oi-dered 100,000
whitefish frj-.
The history of the cultivation of fish extends over very few
years. Within this short period it has been demonstrated
that results of startling economic value can be produced
where until recentlj' no influence was felt except the sponta-
neous and unregulated operations of natural causes. All civ-
iHzed nations have made the subject one of state policy and
control, and science has, in few instances, more conclusivelj-
proved its intimate relations and creative power in regard to
those questions which affect the well-being of the people in
their most primary and material aspects.
As a matter of economy, the whole subject deserves, and
will doubtless receive your careful attention. The commis-
sioners request an appropriation of $5,000 for the necessary
expenses of this year-, and in doing so they call attention to
the fact that when the work of planting the fish is finally
thoroughlj- done throughout the state, the necessity for ap-
propnations of this character will cease.
THE STATISTICAL BUREAU.

fimctiona, though they have been enlarged every year, are
yet-felt by that officer to be inadequate in many respects, to
present a complete exhibition of the resources and progress
of the state. The ecmimisaibner therefore recommends
aeveral amendments to the statutes, which are commended to
your consideration.
The report of the present year, comprehending as it does
the results of the census, is a document of universal im-
portance, and a statement of the leading results to which
the statistician has arrived may not be deemed uninterest-
ing.
It exhibits the progress of agriculture for twenty-five
years. When the territory of Minnesota was organized in
1849, its population was 4,057. In 1850 there were only 157
farms, comprising about 3,000 acres, from which were pro-
duced 1,400 bushels of wheat, 6,000 bushels of com, and
le.flOO bushels of oats. A quarter of a century has worked
wonderful changes. Our population is now 597,279; the
number of tilled acres is 2,816,413. From these the pro-
duction in 1875 was 31,475,000 bushels of wheat, 15,775,000
bnshels of oats and 9,500,000 busheb of com. In ten years
the population has increased 138 per cent., while the number
of tilled acres has increased 302 per cent.
The following comparative tables demonstrate our progress
since 1860.

iug less than five and a half per cent, of the lands comprised
within the boundaries^of thej state, or a product of about
t)ixty-oue dollars to each man, woman and child in the state.
I regret that the limitatious to which the occasion re-
stricts this paper preclude a more detailed exp<fflition of
these marvelous demonstrations of our prosperity. The;

of God, by an industrious people, upon a scene of action,
which, when they entered upon their labors only twenty-
five years ago, was an uninhabited region, merely to visit
which was then esteemed an act of hardihood.
TH8 FIVE PES CENT. FUND.
By the act of congress admitting Minnesota into the union
the United States stipulated to pay the state £ve per cent,
apon the sales of public lands situate therein. Large bodies
of these lands were afterwards disposed of by the federal gov-
ernment for land warrants or set apart for permanent Indian
reaervatioDB or for other purposes, for which the United
States has hitherto declined to pay tbefiveper centum. Min-
nesota, in common with several other western states, deeming
this position an erroneous one, has endeavored to secure a
recognition of this claim by the general goverrunent.
By joint resolution of the legislature, approved March 9,
IS74. the governor was authorized to appoint an agent or
attorney to co-operate with the agents or attorneys of other
states in presenting and prosecuting this claim, and to stipulate
with said agent or attorney for a reasonable compensation,
payable only in case of a successfiil issue of said prose«utioa
and only out of the moneys realized.
I ascertained by correspondence with the govemore
of the states similarly situated that Wisconsin had agreed to
give the agent five per cent, of the moneys collected without
dispute by the United States, and fifteen per cent, of all dis-
puted amounts collected.
zedbyGoOgle
28 ootbbnob's messaob.
The governor of Michigan made a contract which em-
braced only matters not deemed to be in real controrersj-, and
agreed to pay the agent of that state ten per cent, on the
first tS.OOO collected; five per cent, on the second f5,000. and
two and one-half per cent, upon the remainder.
The state of Iowa agreed to pay the agent thirty-three and
one-third per cent, of all Hums realized on account of lands
which had been taken by warrants, and twenty-five per cent,
on account of lands disposed of as reservations.
The state of Nebraska agreed to give the i^nt one-third
of all that ahould be realized.
I accordingly, on the 5th day of November, 1874. signed
a contract with Gen. John B. Sanborn, of St. Paul, obligat-
ing the state to pay him fifteen per cent, of the amount actu-
ally realized and collected aa the result of his services, to
be paid only in the contingencies expressed in the resolution.
Upon further reflection I became dissatisfied with the con-
tract, and requested of Gen. Sanborn a modification to the
advantage of the state, with which request he readily com-
plied. The contract was accordingly modified on the 9th
day of November, 1875. and by its terms as it now stands the
state agrees to pay Gen, Sanborn fifteen percent, of the sum
actually realized and collected as the result of bis services in
all cases which are disputed or contested by the United
States, and five per cent, only of the amounts actually real-
ized and collected as the result of hie services in all cases not
disputed of contested. This contract also contains astipula-
tion that the rate of compensation may be modified by the
present legislature.
HOW TO SECURE OlMlOaATION.
Minnesota is now in the eighteenth year of her existence
as a state. Within that period she has grown from a mere
outpost of civilization to be a populous, powerful and wealthy
commonwealth. She possesses two thousand miles of rail-
road. She holds as tributaries two great water systems, the
one bearing her products to the gulf, the other carr^'ing
them over the great lakes to the sea. Her school system is
admirable both ui conception and operation. Under the

infiueuce of a salubrious climate tlie people are wholly exempt
from many diaeuses which in other reg^iona form a part of the
daily ills of life. More wheat is raised in Minnesota than in
uny other state. The universal failures of crops which make
the occupation of agriculture a hazardous one elsewhere have
never occurred here. Such visitations here are local, compara-
tively insignificant and affect very little the grand and cer-
tain u^regate of annual prosperity. Hitherto no adequate
effort has been made to bring these facts to the attention of
those who both in the old world and the new are anxious to
improve their material condition. We have suffered the tide
of immigration to pass us without any serious effort to
deflect it.
While we have thus been inactive, other states have not
beeu idle. They have been wisely liberal in setting forth
their advantages by pamphlets and advertisements judiciously
distributed, and by personal representation and solicitation
by their public agents.
Michigan employs one agent ataaalary of f2,50O per year
to reside in Germany, and the governor is authorized to ex-
))end ^,000 per annmn to pay his expenses in traveling and
printing and distributing circulars. The state has also a
local agent resident in this country, at a salar}' of |1,500 a
year, to act in concert with the foreign commissioner.
The State of Kansas has always displayed exceeding energy
m this matter and with most fruitful results. The governor,
with two commissioners appointed by him, constitute a board
of immigration, whose expenses are provided for by an an-
iiutil appropriation of $5,000.
A similar policy has been adopted in Nebraska, by the con-
Htitntion of a bureau of immigration consieting of three com-
missioners, one of whom is the president of the board and its
executive officer. He receives for his services fl,200 a year
and $800 for incidental expenses. The other members of the
board receive only their traveling expenses. An agent is
appointed in each organized county, who co-operates with the
board and reports once in three months the letters received
and such other information as the board may require. These
i^ents receive each $50 per annum for services and expenses.
zedbyGoOgle
30 qovbrnok's message.
The expenses of the bureau are met by an annual appropri-
ution of *5.000.
The atate of California has manifested great liberality in
inducing immigration with reaults which are too well known
to make necessary their recital. The southern states hure
also made strenuous efforts in the SEune direction.
The agents of these states meet the immigrant when he
lands at New York, and in many instances before he leaves
his native land. He ia cared for. His desire for information
is satisfied by statements printed in his own language and
expounded to him by his own countrymen, setting forth the
advantages of the states competing. for his preference. We
have no such representatives, and we have lost thousands
who by proper efforts could easily have been induced to cast
their lot with us.
The unsettled condition of industry and the financial strin-
gency,which for the past two years have been felt so severely
in the eastern states, havecausedmany of their people to turn
their foces westward. The emigration from those states has
been very large, and it is growing in volume. We have taken
no measures to secure our share of this most valuable incre-
ment to our prosperity. The subject is earnestly commended
to your consideration.
WI8CON8IN VS. DULDTH.
In my last message I called the attention of the legislature
' to the suit instituted in the Supreme Court of the United
States by the state of Wisconsin against the city of Duluth.
by which it is sought to obtain a decree of that tribunal
enjoining the defendant from keeping open and requiring
it to fill up the ship canal across Minnesota Point.
A demurrer to the complaint was interposed by the city
and was overruled by the court without prejudice to
the right of the city to insist in its answer or upon the final
hearing upon the questions raised by the demurrer. It will be
observed that the order by which the demurrer was overruled
was merely formal, and that no substantial right of the de-
fendant is prejudiced by it. An answer has therefore been iu>
terposed which seems to present all the matters of defence.
zedbyGoOt^le
aoTEBNOB'S HESSAOe. 31
The Supreme Court has ordered testimony to be taken in the
case.
I am advised by counsel, and such is my own opinion after
a careful examination of the questiouB of fact and law
involved, that the grounds of defence by the city of Duluth
are ample and perfect.
It is certainly to be regrett«d that two .states which have
hitherto been so friendly in all their relations, and v/hoae
general, interests are so nearly identical, should be involved
in any litigation. Concerning the particular subject involved,
there is no fact or circumstance, either of natural or acquired
advantages, which makes the prosperity of either community
whose interests are especially the subject of the controversy
dependent upon the injury of the other. The federal govern-
ment has hitherto appropriated money for the improve-
ment of both harbors. The suit may cause the suspension
of appropriations until a judicial determination is
reached. If the litigation can be amicably determined, the
joint claims of the states for liberal expenditures upon the
great harbor so providentially formed at the head of Lake Su-
perior will doubtless be productive of most liberal action. It
is suggested that a committee be appointed to conter M'ith
the authorities of Wisconsin to the end that our interests and
those of that state may be made harmonious.
THE NEW LBSI8LATIVB APP08TIONMENT.
It is provided by section 23 of article 4 of the constitution
that the legislature shall provide by law for the enumeration
of the inhabitants in the middle year of each decade, and
that at the first session after each enumeration the legisla-
ture shall have the power to prescribe the bounds of con-
gressional, senatorial and representative districts, and to
apportion anew the senators and representatives among
the several districts according to the provisions of section
two of said article.
The census wag taken during the year 1875, giving 597,-
278 as the population of the state.
The object of the constitutional provision by which a census
is required is to provide equality of representation throughout
zedbyGoOgle
32 QOVBRHOR'S dtESSAOE.
the state on the basis of population, imd to meet that require-
ment every five years, during the lapse of which regions here-
tofore unsettled have become populous. It has been thought
that the power of the legislature is a discretionary one, and
reading section 23 of this article alone there is some warrant
for this construction. I suggest, however, that this view is
not correct. It is a principle of legal construction that all
parts of an instrument are to be construed together and effect
giTen, if possible, to every provision which it contains.
Keeping this rule in view, it will be found that section 23
provides that the legislature shall have the power to
make the apportionment according to the provisions
of the second section of article VIII of the constitutibn.
Now the second section of article VIII prescribes that the
number of members of the legislature shall be prescribed by
law, but the representation of the senate shall never exceed
one member for every five thousand inhabitants, and in the
house one member for every two thousand inhabitants, and
that the representation in both houses shall be apportioned
equally throughout the different portions of the state in pro-
portion to the population thereof. It will be perceived that
the language of this section is imperative. It is prescribed
in section 33 in what years the legislature shall have the
power to make operative the right conferred by section 2 of
equal representation. It must be done at the first session
after the census is taken. If not done at that session it
cannot be done until after the next enumeration in 1880'.
The census is taken at great expense for this purpose solely,
and the legislature cannot decline to make the apportionment
except by denying to the new counties the rights which sec-
tion 2 was intended to give them.
RBUEP OP DESTITUTE SETTLERS.
By act of the legislature approved March 5, 1875, the sum
of f75,000 was appropriated for the purchase of seed grain
to be donated to the destitute settlers of several of the fron-
tier counties which were devastated by grasshoppers in 1874,
and the governor was authorized to appoint three commis-
sioners, who, by the terms of the statute, were invested with
tlie full care, management and disbursement of the fund.
zedbyGoOglC
tiOTERI^OR'a MESSAGE. 33
I appointed as coimmssioiieis Oen. R. W. Jotmson, Dr.
Darid Da; and Wm. Lindeke, Esq., of St. Paul, who at once
addressed themselves with great industry to the performance
of their duties by sending circular letters to many persons,
and by personal inspection of most of the counties needing
relief involving over one thousand miles of travel. It was
fomtd that the object of the statute could be effectually ac-
complished with $50,000, and accordingly the commissioners,
with the concurrence of the state auditor, the state treasurer
and the governor, were placed in possession of that sum only,
thus effecting at the outset a saving of $25,000 to the state.
They expended $49,981.44, and purchased at most favora-
ble prices, obtaining in many instances liberal concessions,
48 bushels of beans, 556 bushels of potatoes, 31 bushels of
peas, 2,030 bushels of oats, and 46,764 1-3 bushels of wheat,
all of which was distributed so equitably that no complaint
has been made.
Their report, which exhibits their transactions more fully,
is herewith submitted, and they are entitled to thanks for
the ability with which they have performed their duties.
OBABSHOPPEB INTEBTIGATION.
I was so impressed with the necessity of obtaining exact
information upon the subject which has made such large ap-
propriations necessary, that immediately after the last har-
vest I appointed Messrs. John C. Wise, of Mankato; Warren
Smith, of Graham Lake; and Allen Whitman, of St. Paul,
to investigate and report upon the following topics:
1. A history of grasshopper incursions into Minnesota at
varions times.
2. Their origin. *
3. The time of their arrival and departure.
4. The time when they deposit their eggs, and the timt
of hatching.
5. Manner of deposit.
6. The character of land where eggs are deposited.
7. The best practicable means for their destruction.
8. What, if any, grains or vegetables are exempt from
their ravages.
DigiLizedbyGoOgle

9. Acreage ravaged by them lq 1875, and money amount
of damage done.
10. To what extent and (spec'Scally) where, they have
deposited their eggs this year.
11. Such other useful information as may be brought to
their knowledge.
These gentlemen, after yisiting quite thoroughly the fron-
tier counties and examining all the pertinent historical aiad
scientific writings to which they had access, made the ac-
companying report, which will be found a most important
contribution to the subject of their labors.
Any attempt to summarize the report would do it injustice,
and it is submitted with the recommendation that it be so
widely distributed among the people that the remedial meas-
ures which it suggests may receive a. fair trial in case any
portion of our state shall again be subject to ravage.
The last legislature placed at the disposal of the Qoyernor
the sum of twenty thousand dollars, for the relief of suffering
settlers upon the frontier, to be expended in providing for
them necessary food and clothing. It was found not neces-
sary to expend the whole of this sum, and there accordingly
remains in the treasury $11,445.09, the unexpended balance
of the appropriation.
CAPrrAl PUmSHMBNT.
I took occasion in my last message to animadvert upon the
defects of the statute relating to the pimishment for the
crime of murder, and I deem it my duty to bring the subject
again to the attention of the legislature. By the act of
March 5, 1868, capital punishment was abolished except in
those cases where the jury, in addition to a verdict of guilty,
also <^termine and direct that the culprit shall suffer death.
The objections to this law, both in theory and practice,
are manifold, irrespective of the main question whether capi-
tal punishment ought to be inflicted under any circumstances.
The arguments against it which present themselves to my
mind are as follows: The penalty i^ an uncertain one, and
wUl vary with the various dispositions of the juries. It
affords a pretext for disagreement of juries in capital cases.
A juror may be willing to give a verdict of guilty, and yet
zedbyGoOglC
oovbrnor's hessaob. 35
be unwilling to agree with his fellow jurors that the greater
penalty shall be inflicted. He will thus agree upon the fact,
bat will dissent as to the law of the case. It enables a crim-
inal to elect that he will suffer the penalty of imprisonment
with a chance of a pardon, rather than undergo tiie risks of
a defence with the risk of being hanged. It results &om
this that the murderer who is certainly and provably guilty
will not take this risk, but will pronounce the milder sen-
tence upon himself by admitting his guilt.
In my last message I illustrated the defects of this statute
t^ supposititious cases. Since that document was written lacts
have rendered unnecessary any effort of the imagination.
Daring tiie year 1875 three persons, Lautenschlager, Rapp
and Rapp's wife, were tried in Ramsey county for a murder
which they were accused of having committed jointly. The
facts were such that if they were guilty there was no shade
of difference in their criminality. Equally guilty, they
deserved equal punishment. Separate trials were had, and
Lautenschlager was tried first. The public were clamorous
that justice should exert upon him her fidlest powers of retri-
bution. An intelligent jury summoned Irom the body of
that public gave to that desire the sanction of a verdict that
the accused should undergo the penalty of death. In course
of the same term the man Rapp was tried in the same court.
But by this time the desire of which I have spoken had
become partially satiated by the verdict of the jury in the
first case, and the result was that the second jury found a
verdict upon which he was sentenced to imprisonment for
life. Mrs. Rapp was also tried at the same term, upon
the same evidence, and the jury disagreed. She was after-
wards tried in another county atfd received the same sentence
that her husband had received.
The results of these cases reduce themselves to this, that if

These illoBtrations, drawn &om the judicial records

tions of this atatute, and of its capacity for injustice, that I

MINNESOTA STATE OAILROAD BODDB.
1 should feel self reproach from the consciousness of hav-
ing left an important duty unperformed should I suffer this
occusioQ to pass without expressing my views upon a subject
which has been a topic of reproach by our creditors, and re-
crimination, excuse and defence by many of our citizens for
more than fifteen years. I allude to the obligations, moral
and legal, to which the state is subject by the evidences of
- its indebtedness commonly known as the Minnesota state
railroad bonds.
They were executed so long ago, that of uur present popu-
lation, over lour hundred thousand hare become inhabitants
since the date of these securities; so many popular ideas
upon the question have been the creation of hasty, angiy or
insufficient assertion, that it does not seem improper to pre-
sent here a concise historical statement showing precisely
what was done by the state in the premises. I give it in the
hope that it may be infiuential in clearing away some of the
distorting and erroneous assumptions of fact which have
obscured the subject, and,a8 I^hink, darkened the conscience
of this people.
By the constitution of Minnesota, as it was framed by the
convention, it was prescribed that the credit of the state
shall never be given or loaned in aid of any individual, as-
sociation or corporation. It was also prescribed that the
public debt of the state shall never in the a^regate exceed
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. When these pro-
visions were framed ir£ 1857, the territory had been invested
by the United States with grants of land in trust to bnild
zedbyGoOglC
QOTBBNOB's MBSaiOE. 87
certain specified railroads, which landa had been granted
to fonr companiea; the whole country was apparently bo
prosperotis that capital sought employment without invitation
and with unprecedented eagerness in the construction of
great public works. In this deluaJTe prosperity, Minnesota
had an ample share.
While the question of- the admission of the state into the
Union under the constitution was pending, the memorable
crisis of 1857 supervened, and the result was an overthrow of
private fortune and public credit, complete, disastrous, and
sudden. It bore with peculiar severity upon Minnesota, for
our people were heavily indebted, and the process of payment
involved the extinction of individual credit and the sacrifice
of many estates.
The result was that capital took &ight, and would not en-
gage in enterprises for which it had lately competed. Immi-
gration ceased and industry came to a stand still. The
future was ao precarious that the grants of land, munificent
as they were, could not induce the investment of a dollar in
the construction of the roads for which they were made.
These lands were given to aid in the construction of about
thirteen hundred miles of railroad, and the statute which
conferred them contained a clause working a reversion to the
United States of a large portion of the lands unless the roads
were completed within ten years. The desire of our people
for the construction of the roads was so intense that projects
to remove the difficulties of which I have spoken occupied
the public mind to the exclusion of nearly every
otiier topic, and this desire found its expression
in an amendment to the constitutional provisions to
which reference has been made. This amendment was
adopted April 15th, 1858, by a' popular vote of 25,023 in its
&Yor against 6,733 votes against it. It provided in substance
that the credit of the state shall never be given or loaned in
aid of any individual, association, or coTx>oration, except for
the purpose of expediting the construction of the railroads
for which these lands had been granted. In other words,
this amendment authorized the state to loan or give its credit
in aid of these particular enterprises, and it limited the
unoont for which the state was authorized to become re-
JigiLizedbyGoOgle
38 OOVEBNOE'S MK88AGE.
sponsible to $5,000,000. The amendment also provided irith
great precision of direction when and how the aid
or loan was to be given, which provision was, that
whenever either of the companiea produced to the gov-
ernor satisfactory evidence by affidavit of the chief engineer,
treasurer and two directors of the company, that any ten
miles of the road were actually completed and ready for plac-
ing the superstructure thereon, then the governor should
cause to be issued and delivered to the company the special
bonds of the state bearing interest at seven per cent, per an-
num, payable in New York, as a loan of public credit to the
amount of one hundred thousand dollars. Issues in the same
amount were also required to be made upon furnishing
like evidence that any ten miles had been actually com-
pleted and cars running thereon. By this amendment the
faith and credit of this state were expressly pledged for the
payment of the interest and the redemption of the principal
of the bonds.
As this was merely a loan of the credit of the State, the
amendment providently prescribed by what security the State
should be indemnified in case the companies should default in
payment. It was therefore provided that each company
should make provision for the punctual payment and redemp-
tion of these bonds, and for the punctual payment of the in-
terest which should accrue thereon, in such manner as to ex-
onerate the state from any advances of money for that pur-
pose, and t|S security therefor the Governor was required to
demand and receive from each of the companies, before issu-
ing any of the bonds, a mortgage of the net profits of the road
and a conveyance of the first two hundred and forty sections
of land, free from prior incumbrances, in trust, to secure the
state from loss on the bonds, and as further security, the
Governor was directed to exact of the companies an
amount of first mortgage bonds on their roads,
' lands, and franchises, corresponding to the state
bonds issued, to be transferred to the treasurer of the state
at the time of the issue of the atnte bonds. It was also
provided that in cuse the companies made default in pay-
ment of interest or principal due on the bonds issued to
zedbyGoOglC
GOrBKNOft's HBS8AOB. 39
them, DO mure state bonds should be issced, aod the gov-
ernor was required to sell the bonds of the delaaltiDg com-
panies, or to sell the swd two hundred and forty sections of
land, or to require at foreclosure of the mortgage which
covered all the roads, lands aud irancbises.
The companies accepted these provisions, and work upon
the roads was commenced immediately. Governor Sibley
iu his reqnisition upon t^e compsuies for the first mort-
gage bonds upon the roads, lands Hud tranchises, demand-
ed that these bonds should specify a priority of lien, but
fais coustraction of the amendment was overruled by the
Supreme Court of the state, which held that the bonds
need only be the ordinary first mortgage bonds in common
with other bonds of that character.
After the companies bad commenced work and had
earned a large amount of these securities, a warfare was
made upon them, which was so far successful that distrast
was excited; the companies were unable to negotiate them
and obtain funds to carry on construction, and they ceased
to be marketable. Work was thereby stopped and the
companies made default in the payment of interest. They
had l^ome insolvent. The state then proceeded to fore-
close its becnrities. By these foreclosure proceedings
it acquired about two hundred and fifty miles of graded
road, the franchises of the compauies, the lands of the
companies — in tact it acquired the title to all the securities
which it had taken lor its indemnity, including nearly five
million acres of land, as security for its liability npon
$2,275,000 of bonds with interest. Hero then we see the
state— a surety — become the owner of assets enough to
satisfy all this claim over and over again.
In the meantime another constitutional ameadment had
been adopted, by which it was provided that no law levy-
ing a tax or making {other provision for the payment of
the principal ur interest of these securities shonid take af-
fect until submitted to a vote of the people of the State
and adopted by them.

The dnt; of the State at thia stage was an otrviona one.
It waa to make proviaion for an adJDBtmeDt of the quee-
tion by meana of the aecuritiea which it held for that pur-
pose. But this duty was wholly 'neglected. The lauds
and road bed and franchisea which it held for its indemnity
were granted by it to existing companies free and clear,
Hnd the roault has been the development of our railway
system to its present proportions. '
One legal objection has been raised to this amendment.
It is said that the constitution waa adopted Oct. 13, 1857,
while the amendment was adopted April 15, 1858. Min-
nesota was admitted into the Union, May 11, 1858, by an
act which, while it recognized in terms the constitution
as originally framed, did not mention the amendment.
This objection is specious, yet aophistical. The originet
constitQtion provided tor its amendment It was amended
aa therein provided, and it will not he presumed that con-
greaa, while it accepted the constitution, practically de-
prived it of one of its most vital fanctiona. namely, its
capacity to be thus amended.
It this consideration is not a sufficient answer to tiie ob-
jection, it is sufficient that the state acted nDoer this
amendment, contracted under it, received securities nuder
it, foreclosed iinderit,ianowenjoyiDgbenefitBunderit,aQd
should be estopped from denying obligations under it,
except upon terms of rendering satisfaction from what it
received.
It is asserted by aome persons who have embittered our
people by the infliction of unqualified censure upon them,
that we have planted ourselves upon an explicit denial that
there is anything due upon these securities. Such is not
the sentiment of our people. But many of them
do think that the transaction is affected by cir-
cnmstances which ought to abate materially
from the obligation to pay these aecuritiea at their face in
the case of those who hold the bonds with notice of the
tacts. This is a defence that any debtor has the right to
make. But in making it he ought not to bar every avenue
DigiLizedbyGoOglc
qotbanob's HBSBAGE. 41
to adjadication> and make hie defence as to part n pre-
tence for not paying anything. As to the portion which
we do wTonghilly refnse to pay the world will hold tliat
we repudiate as long as we deny jnrisdictioit to any tribn-
Dal tt> entertain the qneation involved. I etippose that
when the claims of this government against Qreat Britain
were first advanced on acconnt of the damages done by
coniederat« crnisere, the English people were as firmly
persuaded that they owed nothing, and were as firmly re-
solved to pay nothing, as any of oar people to-day are.
Bat DO man and no nation onght to be the jodgeiu its
own canee, and accordingly these great governments con-
Btitoted 8 court at Geneva, snbmitted to its jarisdiction
and abided by the judgment of that nnimpassioned fomm.
It is an example worthy of our imitation. If a board oi
commisffioners composed of men of or not of this state, em-
inent for integrity and judicial wisdom, conid be invested
with jarisdiction to bear and determine the qnestions involv-
ed by a consideration of every equity, legal or moral, exist-
ing on either side of the controversy it cannot be presumed
that oar people would hesitate to perform the award. It
these bonds were void in their inception for any reason,
or if they were procured by fraudulent representations
or nnfaitbfnl performance of conditions precedent or if
there is a class of nnfortnnate persons who invested in good
faith, for value, witbont notice, so that the last named de-
feoce ie not applicable to tbem, or if they are wholly due,
let na meet each roBponeibility as becomes a great state,
holding its honor dearer than anything else.
1 am Bware that kn over prudent calculating judgment
might not prompt a public man to whom the immediate
commendations of those who have honored him are very
gratifying, to speak such words. ButI kuowthat there i« a
higher rale of action which requires that states no less
than men chall do justice, no matter how onerous may he
the performance. This rule bears upon our people now.
It cootaiDS forces of self-assertion against which no oppo-

oeDcy. We have disregarded it too long.
Having now performed this final official act, I cloNinj

INAUGURAL MESSAGE
OF
OOVEMOR JOHN S. PILLSBUHT.
Gentlemen of the Seriate and House of Rqtresentatives :
Id making, for the firat time, tbat communtcatioii to ;ou
toQching the condition of the State, which both the conatitu-
tion and invariable caetom enjoin upon the Executive, I de-
iire to ezpreas my deep sense of the respODsibility I have as-
sumed, and to invoke your aid and co-operation in the faithful
performance of the duties which the people have devolved
alike apon na.
The perioj] we have reached in the development of Otir State
affords an occasion both for congratulation and for warning.
We cannot bnt indulge feelinga of pride and gratitude when
we reflect that where, a quarter of a century ago, there was
«D a Dbrokeo wildemesa, inhabited only by wild beasta and sav*
age men, there exists to-day a vigorous young commonweHlth
of 600,000 people, blest with all the appliances and comforts
of civilized life ; that solitary wastes have been supplanted by
illimitable grain fields ; that idle rivers have been bound to ti>e
myriad naes of productive industry; tbat the young State,
which, upon her admission to the Union, imported breadstuSs
to feed the speculators in her unproductive lands, is, in her
eighteenth year, the first wheat State of the Sisterhood ; tbat
where fourteen years ago there was not one mile of completed

railroad, 3,000 milfls are now taxed to their utmost to carry off~
the snrpluB products; and that everywhere tbrooghont the State,
church and Bchool-hooae, thriving cities and basy indastrieSr
mark the abode of a prosperous, energetic and happy people.
Forprogress so unexampled, and prosperity so bountifnl, our
grateful thanks are due to Almighty God, who has wonderfully
upheld us in adversity, and brought us to the verge of great op-
portunities ; bat, while thankful for such blessings, we should
not be nnmiodfnl of those opportunities, nor of the responsi-
bilities which they impose.
RESDNDAHT CURBEMCT.
For an active people, released from the strain of the great
civil war that closed ten years ago, the pursuits of peace natu-
rally possessed new attractions. Recovering from the prostration^
of that dire conflict, the country under the stimulas of a redun-
dant currency, embarked in productive enterprises with an
enei'gy and snccess wholly unparalleled. With an aagmented vol-
ume of currency advancing the cost of all commodities, and aa
abnormal activity in all branches of industry resulting in uni-
vertul overproduction, the final result was inevitable. A spirit
of wild speculation, the lust for sudden wealth, and a reckless
extravagance and disregard for tbe adaptation of means to ends,
seized the hearts of the people and shaped the aims of all classes
and conditions of men. Patient toil, with its modest rewards,
was second in the race for quick results, and an nosubatantial
prosperity with a fair semblance lured its victims to a false'
gauge of their resources and liabilities. The culmination was-
reached, as we all know, in the financial collapse of two years
ago, from the eSects of which the industries of the country hav&
since langaisbed; and although in our favored State, owing
to the primary connection of tbe people with the soil and its
bonntifnl products, we have been measurably exempt from' the
extreme depression elsewhere prevalent ; yet the people of
Minnesota, especially in the chief centres of population, share
the inevitable suffering resulting from an anwarrauted expan-
sion of credit and a continued extravagance in business and

It is against haLifs aod tuilueDces that thus concur io leading
to inflvitable dieaater, that vise communities will promptly take
warning. Io keeping with, and growing out of this state of
Ihiogs, the readiness of the people to burden themselves with
mnnicipal, county and township debt, is perhaps the strongest
tendency threatening the public good. Of the total taxation
for all purpoaea, but a small fraction in any community is con-
tributed to the support of the State Government, the principal
bnrden being for purely local objects in moat instances, while it
is not unfreqnently augmented by the extravagant and corrapt
jnaoagement of local affairs. A fiitl statement of sach indebt-
edness woald doubtless afford a startling exhibit. With a few
«xceptioD8, it would probably be fouud, that in the face of
recent and multiplied warnings, there has been a steady accn-
mulatinn of debt since the crisis of 1873, coupled with con-
stantly increasing taxes throughout our State, especially in the
larger municipal corporations.
From official reports it appears that the aggregate bonded
debt of four of the leading cities of the State amounts to
$3,374,720, which ia an increase of more than fifty per cent,
during the past five years, while the combined tax levy of these
•cities, for municipal purposes, exceeds $800,000 tor 1875, being
an increase of about eighty-five per ceut. for the same period.
There would be less discouragement in this exhibit, if either
■by reason of the heavy tax levy the debt was being decreased,
■or if because of an increase of debt the present burdens were
Jigbtened by the funding of fioating debts; but the simultane-
ons increase of both debt and taxation affords little ground for
couBolatory reflection. It is doubtless true that much of this
burden was assumed for the prosecution of local improvements
of a durable cbaructer incident to legitimate growth, and es-
pecially for the erection of those imposing educational atruct-
ares, for which the people delight to tax themselves. But it is
JigiLizedbyGoOglc

obvions that ench an expaDsion of credit for whatever caase i»
too great for healthful progress, and ia full of public danger.
There are few sources of mischief id an eDterprising commu-
nity more specious or seductive thau the facility with which
the people avert a present burden by the issue of bonds to be
paid by their deacendaots. There would certainly be far less
prosecution of premature onterprisae, if present rather than fu-
ture payment were required for them. In view of the mani-
fest evils thus arising, I feel warranted in suggesting a proposal
for ft constitntional limitntion of the total accumulation of local
debt for any and all purposes, similar to that which now res-
tricts debt in aid of railroads ouly.
RETRBtrCHUEMT.
Whatever may be the merits of the various measures proposed
for a restoration of the common prosperity, there can be no doubt
that the first essential to that end is the practice of a close, me-
thodical and persistent economy, alike in all public and private
aSairs. lu my judgment the conditions requisite for the pro-
motion of the public welfare are precisely those essential to suc-
cess in private affairs. Neither can permanently prosper unless
outlays are resolutely restricted to legitimate income.
The obvious inference, both from these considerations and
from the demands of the times, is thnt the subject of retrench-
ment of public expenses should occupy a prominent place in
your deliberations. I am well aware that so far as relates to
the salaries of State officers and those of their employes, a rigid
economy has always been practiced. In all the ordinary run-
ning expenses of the government, and especially in the employ-
ment of alimited force for the performance of the onerous labor re-
quired in the several State departments, Minnesota may well chal-
lenge comparison for eSicient and economical management with
any State in the Union ; yet in the more general conduct of af-
fairs, I believe there Is room for retrenchment without impair-
ing the efficiency of the public service.
LEHQTH OP SESBIOM.
The firat practical step in that direction is obviously to abbre-
JigiLizedbyGoOglc
IHAUOUKAL HBeSAOE. 7
▼nto the length of the legiBlative Mssioii. The cbnstitatio&al
)imit«tioD is sixty days ; yet I know of do proTisioo in that
iDBtmment or elsewhere rendering it obligatory upon the Leg-
iristore to oonaome the entire period to which they are tfans
limited. Such, however, has been the invariable custom, with-
out reference to the urgency or laxity of public bosinesa. I
respectfully ask yon to consider whether all the basioess yoa
will be called apon to transact may not as well be completed in
a much shorter time than that constitntionally allotted yon.
If ^he session ooald be contracted to forty days, it would result
in a direct saving of about $23,000 in legishitive expenses. I
am well aware that the plea usually urged for much apparent
idleness during the early part of the Heasion, is that business is
being matured by the several committeeB. This plea has not
the force nsnally claimed for it, while it is notorious that the
tardy consideration and frequent postponement of impor-
tant measures not merely wasteB valuable time, but, by
crowding imperative buaineas into the last few days of the
session, subjects it to the serions risks incident to harity
legislation. Perhaps the legislative session most charac-
terized by efScient and laborious conduct was the extra
session of 1862, the duration of which was but twenty days.
Some of the best considered and most important legislation
pertaining to that gloomy and trying period in our history
was enacted during that short session. It is true that at the
preceding regular sesBJon the two houses bad been organized,
thus saving the time usually consumed in that process, never-
theless I am constrained to believe that the masterly and speedy
legislation of that brief session was chiefly the result of resolute
industry springing from a deep sense of grave and imperative
duty. I trust that motives no less commendable may impel you
to a like dispatch of basinese. In this connection, if you should
prepare for submission to the people an amendment to the coo-
stitntion providing for a specific annual salary for members in
lieu of the present legislative per diem, or should resubmit to
tbem the amendment for biennial sessions, either would meet
my concurrence. The first baa been found to work well in other
States, Should the proposed salary be fully equal to the total

p«r diem uow paid for a sixty days' seasion, the State would nev>
erthelesa gain by a redaction of printing and iDcidental expenses
of the shorter sessions that might be expeote(i With respect
to the second proposition, our State having now passed tbftt
stage of development when the neoessities of coastractive and
experimental legislation require frequent seaaions, I cannot
escape the convictioD, notwithstanding a recent contrary ver-
dict of the people, that a resort to biennial sessions would be a
wise step, both on the score of economy and the avoidance of
mnch needlesii and confased legislation inevitable from the too
freqaeot amendment of notried laws.
PDBLIO PRIMTDia.
A.nother large item of expenditare which in my jndgment
will admit of cnrtailment, is that for the public printing, which
has DOW reached an anoaal sum approximating t^l^'l^OO. This
has increased for some years past ont of all proportion to the
advance in other disbursements. The cost of the public print-
iog proper of the several required classes, has swollen from $i,-
^43.89, iu 1868, to |21,937.35, in 1S75, or, including cost of pa-
per, from a total of $8,191.7^, in 1868, to t27,380.88, the past
7ear, while the mass of printing for the several departments anit-
ed in the volume known as"Elxecutive Documents," has grown in
the same period from a single volume of 598 pages to two pon-
derous coUectious of 1,000 pages each. Much of this, it ia
tnie, is a legitimate increase, resulting from the creation of new
departments) made necessary by the growth of the State, but it
is for you to consider whether there is not room hero for a ju-
dicious curtailment of expense. The public printing has always
been done at comparatively low rates, and these have moreover
steadily declined for many years past, but inconsequence of
the enormous increase in its bulk, the total cost, notwithstand-
ing reduced rates, has rapidly increased as before shown. So
far as my knowledge extends, the amount of printing done in
(his State for public purposes, considerably exceeds the aggre-
gate in other States of similar size and wealth.
If the tabulated and minute details which swell the bulk and
JigiLizedbyGoOglc
IHAUOURAL MBSUQB. 9
iocreaae the cost of most of ths roporta, could properly be con -
deased or abridged, it would cauae a not ioconsiderable redac-
tioD of the total coat of prioting, while, if the Dumeroiia local,
monicipat aod private purposes which aonnally absorb so large
aahare of your deliberations, and swell the bulk of printing,
could receive coneideration in some other manner, or be mnde
to defray at least the increased expense they entail, the reeult
would be a decided gain to the State treasury, on both the
printing and Legislative accounts. The steadily inoreaaiug
amount of this special legislation has long been felt to be a se-
rions and unwarranted burden upon the public, and any meas-
ure promising its arrest and curtailment is not unworthy of
your attention. The repeated amendment of laws before they
have been long enough in operation to test their practical
workings, is an evil before referred to as one of growing mag-
nitude.
GROnPTNO OF OFFICES.
To what extent, if any, expenses may be further curtailed
by a consolidation of existing offices, is commended to your in-
quiry. The comparatively nominal duties now required of the
Adjutant General in a military capacity warrants, I suggest, a
considerable reduction of his salary and the maintenance of
his office chiefly as a State claim agency, by which the State
renders effective assistance to deserving recipients of the na-
tional bounty.
The merging of the office of Railroad and Insurance Com-
missioner has been suggested, bat I am satisfied tbht the intri-
cate and technical nature of the duties required of an officer
charged with the supervision of insurance interests, demand-
ing, as their proper performance does, the knowledge and skill
of an expert, aod the time necessary for proficiency in either
office, renders the combiuation of the two offices impracticable.
The usefulness of the Insurance Department as a protection
against the inroads of irresponsible companies and the losses
they inflict has already been exemplified, while at the same time
it is a source of revenue to the State rather than a burden up-
on its treasury. The office of the Railroad Commissioner, as at
2
DigiLizedbyGoOgle
10 INAUGURAL HEBSAOE.
present constituted, is not of Bufficient benefit or importance to
justify its cost. Under the amended law of the last session it con-
templates little more than the collection of railroad stAtistice, to
which end the expense is disproportionately large. If confined to
this, the duty might as advantageously be performed by the Com-
missioner of Statisticsjwhose powers could be enlarged for the pur-
pose, with a considerable annual saving to the treasury. Bat in
my judgment both the duties and the powers of the Railroad Com-
missioner qhonld be materially enlarged. In addition to his exist-
ing power to inspect the financial condition of railroad compa-
nies, he should be invested with summary authority to condemn
bridges and other insecure structures, as well as to correct such
abuses as, from the public emergency, cannot await remedy by
the slower process of the courts. It should be made his duty
to maintain a constant surveillance over the condition of the
several tracks, connections, highway crossings, and other works
and appurtenances, with a view to securing the public safety
and convenience, and he should be clothed with power for these
purposes to summon competent engineers and other experts to
his aid when necessary. The disastrous wreck of the railroad
bridge at Brainerd last summer, strikingly exhibits the necessi-
ty for supervision and prompt exercise of corrective power.
Moreover, with lapse of time, unless seasonable precaution be
taken, it may not be unreasonable to expect a repetition of ac-
cidents of this kind, as much of the railroad work in this State
was constructed, perhaps necessarily, with less regard to its dur-
ability than to the exigencies of speedy completion. With
such objects, the Commissioner, clothed with adequate power
for their enforcement, could ronder timely and efficient service,
and I trust that the law will receive amendment to that end.
Unless the ofiice be so changed in its scope and enlarged in its
powers as to subserve a more obvious public use, I recommend
that it be abolished as a needless expense.
LEGISLATIVE APPOBTIONUENT.
Under the constitution a new apportionment of the members
of jour two houses, based upon the recent State census, will
devolve upon you. The proper performance of this important
duty will involve patient and dispassionate consideration. The

tiieory which, in imitation of the Btrnctnre of the federal gov-
ernmeDt, devolves all practical legislation upon two representa-
tive bodies, doabtlesa reete npoD the assamption that they act
as a check npoo each other, and especially that by reason of the
dignity and experience resulting from the longer dnration of ser-
vice in the smaller body, that wing of the Legislature shoald
act as a conservative restraint upon the more popular impulses
of the larger branch- Whether or not snob theory receives
support in practice, I am unable to see why consistency should
not be lent to it so far as to make a greater numerical difference
between the two houses. But without reference to auy such
difference, the relative policy of large or small representative
bodies may be deemed as yet an open question. At least, the
advantages of the one over the other are not so pronounced ns to
justify the commendation of either for unquestioned adoption.
Under these circumstances, the question of economy assumes a
promineut attitude. In the New England States, as is well
known, very large representative assemblies are employed, and
it 18 believed with generally excellent results. Upon the as-
samption that large bodies are less subject to corrupting iuflu-
encee than smaller ones, loth of your houses were considerably
increased in numbers by the apportionment of five years ago.
I am not aware that any marked improvement resulted from
the change. In this problematical state of the question the ne-
cessity for retrenchment would warrant a numerical reduction
of both houses. At all events, I am decidedly of the convic-
tion that neither should be enlarged.
If, pursuant to the original theory of your representative
structure, the House should be retained at about its present
size, and the Senate be somewhat reduced numerically, both
policies alluded to would receive countenance, wLile the ques-
tion of economy would not be wholly ignored. The present
annual cost of the legislative session is about (70,000, conati-
tntiug the largest item in the ordinary running expenses of the
State. The subject is commended to your careful consideration.
BEDDCED BECBIPTS.
I have given prominence to the necessity for retrenchment, both

ID the iDterest of simple prudence, and upon the broader con-
sideratioD that coaples duty with opportunity. I believe that a
Bobler appreciation of the exceptioual bleesings we enjoy, ia
shown by judicious care of what we possess, than by lavish
ezpeuditares that draw upon the future. -
A. coDBidoration of still more practical urgency, is the fact
which I teara from the State Auditor, that the receipts from
railroad earnings the past year, fell about |23,000 short of those
of the preceding year, and that the total tax collections] owing
chiefly to the smaller levy and decreased amount derived from
delinquent taxes, are about $114,000 less than those of the pre-
ceding year. In view of these facts, and impresoed aa I am
with the importance of keeping your appropriations strictly
within your resources, I recognize the practice of persistent
retrenchment as a duty connected with a due regard to thtt
preservation of the public credit, with the maintenance of those
educational, charitable and reformatory institutions which attest
the highest claim to Christian civilization, and with the share
which every wqrthy motive impels os to take in the proper
celebration of the approaching one-hundredth Anniversary of
our National birthday. Disbursements for these several objects
will be necessary, hut it is difficult to see how they can be made
consistently with adherence to restricted appropriations, unless
the needed amounts can be saved by curtailment of the ordinary
azpenses' heretofore incurred.
CBNTEHNIAL BXPOSITION.
It is difficult, in my judgment, to exaggerate the importance
to Minnesota of a full presentation at the Centennial Exposi-
tion, to commenc^ in Hay next, of her varied and ample pro-
ducts. Of the eve\it itself, it is no exaggeration to say that it
will, and ought to prove to Americans, at least, the most signifi-
cant occurrence of the century Other nations have had in-
dustrial expositions evidencing the achievements of the arts and
sciences, and attesting the progress of the age. Ours will com-
memorate a nation created, and a nation saved. It will exhibit
Dot merely the progress of the original members of the Union,
bat the matured industries of new States. It will not only vin-

dicate the cliAractsr of popular inBtitntioos, bnt army the ^eo"
ciea by which the laboring man of to-day possesBes more com-
fortflthan did the monarchB of past ages. Except for the use of
steam, the most potent agency in material acbievementB, it 'is
safe to aay that the entire Northwest would yet have remaioed
a wilderoeeB. Ib it not fitting that Minnesota ebonld pay a
tribnte to tbo agency to which she owes her existence, and add
to thediaplay of a nation cf which she is so prosperoDS a mem-
ber? She should esteem it a privilege to bear part and lot in
snch an exposition.
But from a more practical view, the opportunity afforded
to encourage immigration, by an exhibition of agricultural
and industrial products, and of other evideuces of the resources
and attractions of our State, will be so extraordinary, that to
neglect it will be, in my opinion, a grave mistake. Host of the
neighboring' States which compete with us for immigration are
erecting separate bnild'nga upon the Centennial grounds for the
exclusive display of their own products. Would it not be a
matter of policy for MinnOBota to follow that example? As it
is an event not likely to occur again within the lifetime of any
person now in existence, so it is not likely that the century will
furnish another occasion justifying so clearly an adequate
expenditure for the realization of its highest' purpose. The
matter is commended to your consideration with a recommend-
ation for such pfompt and just action as will secure the end
desired.
lUinGBATION.
In this connection, I invite you to inquire whether the time
has not arrived for the renewal of a systematic annual effort for
the encouragement of immigration. In a young frontier State,
recognizing labor as its prime oecesaity, there can be few more
legitimate objects of legislation than those which contemplate
the early peopling of its unoccupied territory and the culture of
itsidle soil. While I deem a creditable display of our products
at the Centennial Exposition the best possible effort toward that
ob)ect, I suggest that in connection therewith, a revision of the
State Immigration ,pamph)et, so as to embrace the latest statis-
tics pertwoing to population, crops, schools, lands, railroads,

&c., with adeqn&te means for its wide dietribution, wonld pro-
vide an effective aid toward the desired purpose. The circala-
tion of that modest volnme has accomplished excelleot results
in the past It is a concise and forcible exhibit of our resonrces,
progress aod ttdvaDtages, and its accurate statistics and dispas-
sionate statements, afford information most desired by intelligent
and industrious settlors, without lending encouragenaent to that
restless and undesirable class who are attracted by overwrought
statements, and become, through subsequent discoDtent, rather
a hindrance than a help to the State. We should not forget
that the location of our State above the central current of travel
through which immigrants move, renders a double effort on our
part necessary to obtain our just share of immigration. Besides,
the persistent and systematic efforts of other States, and of paid
agents in the interest of powerful railroad combinations, have
resulted in the diversion of much immigration destined for Min-
nesota, to more central and southerly latitudes. From this
cause, Kansas, upon a smaller basis, shows an actual gain of
population greater than that of our State during the pnat five
years. It should be your aim, by a counteraction of these ad-
verse influences, to secure to Minnesota the immigration to
which she is justly entitled, both by great advantages and supe-
rior prosperity.
TREB CDLTUBS.
As closely connected with the question of immigration, I in-
vite your attention to the subject of tree-culture as one of vital
importance. It may well be doubted whether any question so
lar^ly experimental is fraught with the promising solntioo of
so many and important problems pertaining to successful agri-
culture. The promotion of a feasible and easy general growth
of forest trees would remove the greatest obstacle to the settle-
ment of the broad, fertile prairies that form so large a part of
our territory and constitute the great wheat areas of the North-
west. That the cultivation of young groves of natural origin,
as well as those of planted trees, has already been followed by
most salutary results elsewhere, is sufficiently demonstrated by
the fact that the prairie States of Iowa and Illinois, after largely
furnishing fuel for their rapidly increasing populations, are poa-
zedbyGoOglC
INADOHKAI, HESSAdB. 15
SMBed to-day of more timber than when the first pioneers set-
tled within their limits. Id oar own State the results of a com-
paratively brief trial are so favorable as to justify saDgiiinQ
liopes for the futore.
The enterprise of the First DlvisioD St. Paul & Pacific Rail-
road Company and the intelligent zeal of Hon. Leonard B. Hod-
gas, its capable Superintend ent, as sbown in their practical
achievements in tree culture, are worthy of all commeodatioD. I
deem thii subject of so much importance that I invite you to in-
qnire what further action you may judiciously take in further-
ance of the practical results aimed at.
Owiug to a recent decieion of the Gommiseiouer of the Gen-
eral Land Office, the Coogressional act to " encourage the
growth of timber on western prairies," approved March 3d,
1873, and favorably amended the following year, is threatened
with the defeat of all practical use. By what seems to me an ar-
bitrary and unwarranted construction of the provisions of that
act, the actual growth of timber, by what experience may prove
to be the best and most practicable means, is not deemed a com-
pliance with the law unless the trees be actually transplanted,
which, with some of the most valuable bard woods, is known to
be impossible. It is difficult to comprehend how a ruling so at
variance, no less with the intent of the law than with the dic-
tates of common sense, could be seriously made.
I need not repeat that the matter is of great importance to
oor State. A considerable amount of lands have been taken up
under the act iu question, and both because of the general wel-
fare involved, and in justice to the settlors, who have acted in
good faith in the expenditure of their labor and care, I recom-
mend that you promptly memorialize Congress to so amend the
law as to insure a practical result to its plainly beneficent inten-
tion.
CAPITAL PDNKHMBHT.
I direct your attention to that provision of the present law
relating to trials for murder which gives to juries discretionary
power to determine the character of the pooiahment to be in-
flicted, as well as the guilt of the accused. In my judgment the
operation of that law has not proved salutary. Considering
JigiLizedbyGoOt^lc
16 INAUGUBAL MESSAGE.
the grave asd complicated nature of the duties of jnrore in such
cases, 1 think the aimple finding of the facta in the case is as
mncli as ought to be expected of them, leaving a determinate
result to follow in all cases. Whatever may be thought of that
treatment of prisooers for minor offenses which contemplntes the
good of offenders as well as of the society against which they
offend, I am satisfied that a capital crime deserves a capital
punishment, and I believe that justice and expediency alike de-
mand SDch an amendment of the existing law as will secure
that end.
Uj attention has been called to one feature of the present ef-
fective but rigorous tax law, that is liable to work great hard-
ship. In caee of absence, sickness, or other cause preventing
payment of taxes when due, the owner is liable to loss of his
property by accident or inadvertency, there being no definite and
uniform date fixed terminating the- allotted period of redemp-
tion, which is dependent upon the action of the authorities in
the several conuties. I suggest that the law be so amended as
to require timelyand conspionous notice to be given to owners
before final forfeiture of their delinquent property, similar to
the requirement in other States in like cases.
IKSINE AND INEBBIATE ASYLUMS.
The report of the State Board of Health abonnds in valuable
information and advice. I especially invite your attention to
their recommendation for the early establishment of an Inebri-
ato Asylum, and to the necessity, forcibly dwelt upon, for en-
larged accommodations for the insane, the greatest capacity of
the present Hospital having already nearly reached its limita-
tion.
OFFICIAL EZAHUTATION.
The accomnlating evidences of public embezElement and mis-
conduct in office, throughout the country, illustrate the necessity

of holding pabtio offioers to the strictest acconntabitity. Noth-
ing, perhaps, ao much ensurea correctDess aod care on the part
of officials, as frequent and exhaustive examinations of their
Bcconnts.* Without the aid of experts, however, the Legislative
committeee nsnally appointed for this purpose cannot give
practical tborongbn^u to their labors, and hence the result is
nsnally a report of a general anil caenal character of little utility.
i suggest that the employment of a persevering and compe-
tent accountant, to examine the accounts of all public officers,
and those in charge of our public institutions, whose visits
thereto should be at irregular periods, would be followed by a
measure of the excellent results produced by the unexpected
visits of the financial examiner of the general government to
the banking institutions of the country. For the present, dif-
ferent experts might be employed for this purpose, at different
times, to be compensated only when in actual service.
IMDIIN TfiOUBLBS.
Host of the offenses committed by Indians and the trouble
growing out of tHem, result from the non-rmpousibility of that
barbarous race to any law whatever. Though residing within
the borders of an organized Territory or State they are not
* amenable to its laws and are equally without any controlling
law exercised by the General Government which has always, by
a fatal policy, dignified them as a separate nationality, posses-
sed of full treaty powers. The evils of this system justify ao
effort for their correction. I suggest that you memorialize
Congrss either to provide a government of law for the Indi-
ans or bring them under the operation of the lews of the State
or Territory which includes their reservations or within which
the offense may have been committed.
xnrassoTA btatb bailboad bohds.
I come now to a subject, the speedy and proper disposal of
which I believe to be demanded by every consideration alike of
policy, justice and honor. I allude to the adjustment of the ob-
JigiLizedbyGoOgle

ligations of the State reprwented bj the long-BtBiidiag "Min
tiesota State Railroad Bonds." No daty surely can be more ob-
ligatory upon those entrusted with the highest public interests
than the vigilant maintenance of a sensitive pablic credit.
Without that, indeed, little is left worthy of pnblio preservation.
The fact that the holders of these obligations are debarred the
ordinary remedy provided by courts of justice, asd are forced to
rely wholly upon the honor of tlie State, ehoald deepen rather
than weaken the sense of such obligation in the minds of hon-
orable men.
I will not insult yoar understanding or sense of justice so far
as to attempt a serious argument in support either of the valid -
ity or equity of this claim upon the State. The parpoee to
evade a just obligation is never, indeed, without a pretext,
whether in public or private affairs. In this case it will suffice
to say that there is, if possible, less than the customary excuse
for a resort to sabterfuge. The measure providing for the is-
sue of these bonds underwent an unusually protracted and
aearchiug diBCuesion dnring the longest legislative session ever
held in the Territory or State. Its various provisions were sub-
jected to close inspection and criticism by the people convened
in public meetings and by a jealous and watchful public press,
and finally, followiag the maturity of the scheme, ample time
was given for its further discussion prior to its submission to
the people, whereupon it received the popular approval by an
affirmative vote of nearly four to one, and thus became, not by
hasty and inconsiderate action, but by succesi^ive, deliberate
steps, a part of the Constitution, entrenched within the impreg-
nable sanction of organic law. Moreover, the bonils thus pro-
vided for were finally issued only apon the moat rigid compli-
ance by the obligees with every legal pro-requisite, insisted up-
on by a faithful and vigilant Executive.
It is not, of course, pretended that the passage of the measure
was wholly uninfluenced in the Legislature or before the people,
by those undue and illegitimate means which unhappily too
often impair the purity of legislative and popular action ; but
it is certain that its success was not more due to the influence
of those who were supposed to be directly interested in its pas-
sage, than to that widespread zeal in ita behalf, which was
founded upon an honest faith in its benefit to the people at
zedbyGoOglC
ZNAUOTIRAL UKSBAQB. 19
luge. That the BchemB itself wsa, at the time] premature and
unwise, the people quiokl; discovered, to their coat, bat the at-
tempt to charge upon the other party to a bad bargain, the
reanltB of an act of folly deliberately committed by themselves,
evinces a cbildisb and ignoble disposition, which I should be
sorry to think coald fairly characterize the people of this State.
The bonds thns deliberately issned are held by persona in all
parts of the country. They express an unmistakable obligation
attested by the great seal of the State, but they convey no hint
of qualiSed payment nor intimation that conld, by any possibility,
serve as a warning to innocent purchasers. Every day they thus
remain dishonored, threatens the lasting dishonor of our State.
Bnt the cooclnsive estoppel of the last plea for non-payment,
whether upon legal or equitable grounds, is the fact that the State
long ago obtained by foreclosure, the property which was the con-
rideration for ber assumption of the debt to secure which such
property was pledged. Except for her obligation to pay such
debt, she had no right to the property securing it. And moreover,
this property thus obtained, consisting of lands, road-beds and
franchises, by a re-grant from the State, served to forward the
canatmctioo cf the existing railroads, whose benefits we have
since enjoyed. Can there remain a possible plea for the non-
payment of a debt thus honestly contracted, and where the
object for which it was contracted has beeo attained aud en-
joyed?
However the plea of poverty may have heretofore justified
the non-payment of the interest upon these bonds by a people
barrassed with the various hindrances and hardships incident
to frontier life, it no longer excuses refusal, by the producers of
agricultural products worth 150,000,000 annually, and the pos-
eessors of taxable property approximating (220,000,000. If a
succession of disasters covering many years of our early exist-
ence— the exigencies of a great civil war, and of a devastating
Indian outbreak, the shortening of oropa by a two years' drouth,
and the repeated ravages of grasshoppers, have heretofore
caused rather an inability, titan an indisposition, to meet our
iust obligations, their prompt recognition and liquidation
ie note demanded, both by a proper sense of long delayed
laatice, and a due appreciation of the prosperity we enjoy.
And, now that our edaoational, charitable and reformatory
JigiLizedbyGoOgle

institatioDB, whose claims coald not well be deferred, hare been
provided for, there onght to be no fnrtfaer poetponemeat of a
simple act of justice whoee performance is demanded b; the im-
perative voice of expediency and honor.
Moreover, the 600,000 acres of so-called internal improve-
ment lands, which fortnnately — may I not say providentially —
came into our poasesBion a few years since, if judicionsly need
will render easily practicable the course to which honor plainly
points. Fortunately these lands have been placed by constitn-
tional protection beyond danger from the various schemes
threatening their absorption and waste, and wisely subjected
to the same supervision which has proved so successful with the
school lands. Under such management the sale of these lands
has already commenced, and a fund accumulated of about
$100,000. With such proceeds, a reliable sinking fund is created
with which, and the practice of that retrenchment in general and
local affairs which I have recommended, and which prudence
demands, these old obligations can easily be provided for by an
issne of new bonds ranning a long period at low int«rest, with
tittle or no addition to temporary burdens. I am profoundly
impressed with the conviction, that the longer postponement
of action looking to the honest and full adjustment of this long
deferred indebtedness, must inflict upon the fair name of our
State, the inelfaceable stain of repudiation : and I venture
with the beginning of my official duties, to commend this sub-
ject to your serious and favorable action
BAILROADS.
The grave qnestions growing out of the various relations of
the producing to the transportation interests of the country,
are necessarily of commanding importance. The constant ten-
dency of indastrial development toward the growth of special-
ties, and that division of labor producing the best results,
necessitates a constantly increasing interchange of commodi-
ties, and multiplies the pnblic dependence upon those means for
quick intercourse and active trade, that are famished by oorpo-
rations which are rapidly absorbing all other modes for carri^e
zedbyGoOglC

b; land and water. With sach tnterdepeodeDt interests, it might
be supposed that a commoa instioct would iaduce that consider-
ate action which recognizes " the highest right as the highest
expediency," bat unfortanatelj through the imperfections of oar
common natare, such relations are anbjeot to the same necessity
for the intervention of law and regulation of commercial nsage
that is everywhere acknowledged as requisite for the common
good.
For railroad corporations which are purely the creatures of
law and the recipienta of the public bounty, and yet are public
corporatioDB, to claim the title and control of the property they
bold npon precisely the same tenure as that upon which pri-
■ Tate property is held, involves not merely an absurdity, but a
menace of the public weal. It cannot for a moment be sup-
posed that grants of land were blindly lavished upon these
corporations for the mere pleasure of enriching them> with-
out reference to the public good or the necessities of com-
merce. Creatures of law, nourished by law, they are subject to
regulation by law, for the promotion of that common welfare
contemplated in their creation and endowment.
As trustee, the State stands between the grantors and grant-
ees of the munificent endowments which are the basis of our
railroad construction, and she cannot, without proving false to
her trust, avoid exacting full compliance with the conditions,
both expressed and implied, in such grauts. Duty alike to the
people at large, and to the corporate recipients of these grants,
demands the exercise of those sovereign functions, of which the
State has no power to divest herself, which contemplate such
eqnitable adjustment of powers, obligations and privileges, as
will ensure the largest measure of public good. Not to exercise
such powers, is not merely to fail in the performance of a duty
clearly obligatory npon the State, but to expose its most vital
interests to the liability of irresponsible and rapacious ex-
actions.
Xrsnaportation is the first consideration in the production
and moving, especially of gross, weighty commodities. Its
cost is what chiefly constitutes the difierence between the value
of land near and remote from markets. With a wide aepara-
JigiLizedbyGoOt^lc

tion of prodactioD from conaamptioD, and a growing depen-
dence of the pFodacing interests npon common carriers, both
the value of real property and the prices of its annual pro-
dncts become thas, in the absence of lawfal regnlation, less
controlled by their private owners than by the combined power of
those who determine freights at their pieasnre. There are cer-
tainly few functions pertaining to valid authority, the exercise
of which is at once more legitimate and obligatory than that
which concerns the just determination of the respective rights
of producers and carriers.
While the enforcement of impartial jnstice between these in-
terests in all the practical details embraced in tariff rates, is
attended with formidable difficnlties, I esteem it a cause for
public congratalation that the fundamental principal, vesting
tite power of sncb regulation in the legislature, has been asser-
ted in such unmistakable terms by the highest judicial authori-
ties of the State. If this decision shall be affirmed by the Su-
preme Gonrt of the United States the people at large may well
rest content. The victory will have been substaDtially theirs.
The corrective power being thus placed clearly within their reach
they can, well afford to accord considerate treatment to corpor-
ations to which the public prosperity is so much indebted. The
assertion of the State sovereignty in their control was required
indeed less because of actual abuses than as a precaution against
the inevitable evils resulting from the exercise of irresponsible
power. The simple assertion of such sovereignty will probably
have had every effect iutendod or desired. With that mutual
forbearance which will be the dictate of wise policy on either
side, it is not probable thai its re-assertion or the detailed re-
strictions resulting from it, will soon be required. Danger from
that source being thus averted, it becomes a generous and grate-
ful people to pursue a policy of liberal forbearance toward or-
ganizations through whose agency the public welfare has been
so unquestionably and continuously subserved. Through their
enterprising and liberal policy of anticipating the development
of the conntry, they have hastened the settlement and cultiva-
tion of wide frontier areas which would otherwise have
remained indefinitely an unproductive wilderness. In the
JigiLizedbyGoOglc
INAUGUKAI, KESUOS. S3
pnrniit of this policy, tbej have beoome inToWed in embar-
rasBinents which call for the same coneiderate action that often
BQccessfally marks the wise management of private affairs.
We ahonld not forget that Uinnesota ia the prosperous off-
spring of that enlightened system of land grants in aid of rail-
roads, which seems to admit of no loeing party to its beneficent
operation, but beoefita alike donors and recipients, the State as
dispensing trustee, and the people at large as ultimate benefi-
ciaries. From the happy results of a system affording the foun.
dation for the construction of our railroads, may we not obtain
a bint for their wise, practical management '?
The actual identity of interests, apparently conflicting, it ia
believed, can be no where more susceptible of practical exem-
plification than in the reciprocal advantages of a wise adjust-
ment of the claims and obligations of producers and carriers.
Hotives of simple policy not less than those inspired by love of
fair dealing, require snch just treatment of railroad interests as
will reassure the alarmed capital embarked in them, and induce
its re-entraoce into our State for the completion and extension
of the comprehensive railroad system so essential to its welfare.
KOBTHBRM PACIFIC BAHJtOAD.
The importance of the subject induces me to direct attention
to the condition and prospects of the Northern Pacific railroad.
No State, with the possible exception of Oregon, has so much
at stake as Minnesota, in the early completion of that great
work i and it affords me pleasure to be able to congratulate oar
people npon the improved prospects of the company charged with
its prosecution. Instead of resorting to a tedious and expensive
adjustment of their interests through a receiver, or wasting their
substance in litigation, the various parties concerned quietly came
together in a spirit of conciliation, and effected a speedy and eooQ-
omical settlement, the result of which is that the reorganized com-
pany is in poraession of650 miles of completed road and the large
landed domain appertaining thereto, wholly free fromdebt. The
road in its structure and appointments is unsurpassed by any in
the country. It traverses a region from Duluth to Bismarck nn-

equalled od the coatiDent io wheat growing capacity, which is
hordered oq the North by the rapidly settliflg Caoadiao Prov-
ince of Manitoba. An extension of 5O0 miles weutward will
carry the road into the heart of the rich mining Territory of
Montana, and thus furnish an additional market for the agricnl-
tnral products of the State, and greatly aid the general govern-
ment in the difficult transportatioa of Indian and army supplies
to that inaccessible region. On all accounts the construction
of at least the additional section of 600 miles should be pushed
with the least practicable delay. The portious of the road already
completed, although bat fragmentary, are paying their expenses,
aud give an earnest of what the greater work will do for the
country. *
The land grant of the company will expire in 1877, and in view
of the sacrifices made by the men of faith and enterprise who
have liberally contributed to the work, in view of the com-
mendable dispostion they have shown to help themselves in sur-
monnting difficnlties; considering the vast scope of the enter-
prise; the muniScent aid already extended to the Union and Cen-
tral Pacific Koads, and the concerted effort beins made for the
extreme Soathern line, we have a right to expect kindly treatment
at the hands of the general government from whom there should
at least be no difficulty in securing a renewal of the grant I
commend the matter to such favorable action by resolntion or
memorial as you may deem advisable in furtherance of the ob-
ject desired.
NAVIQATIOH.
1 desire to call your attention to the iiiteredtd of the people
in regard to perfecting the navigation of the Mississippi river
and its tributaries, now in progress under the auspices of the
general government. In common with all other States lying
between the Alleghenies and the Rocky Mountains, our leading
productions are bulky in their nature and to be made remuner-
ative must have cheap and easy access to the markets of the
world.
A generation has passed since the work of improving these
rivers was commenced, but the progress has been slow owing
JigiLizedbyGoOglc
INAUOUKAI. MES8AOE. 25
to the meageroeaB of appropriations. The time has arrived
when the people demand tbat the Nation's great free highways
should be improved to their mazimam of utility in order that
freights may be carried at the lowest possible rates.
I nuderstand the jettie work at the month of the Mississippi,
is being pushed with commendable vigor by the bold and enter-
prising contractor. The obstructions at the Des Uoines and
Bock Island rapids will soon be overcome, and if these works
are supplemented by wing dams and reservoirs at the points
indicated in the able reports made heretofore by Gen. Warren
and Col. FarquHur, of the U. S. Engineer Department, the main
river will at all times, during seasons of navigation, give to the
people a cheap and common highway to the ocean.
We, in Minnesota, feel a deep interest in the thorough devel-
opment of all the tributaries of this great river, but are more
efipecially interested in the continuous navigation of the parent
stream, in the improvement of the Minnesota river within our own
borders, and in the perfection of the water-path to the great
lakes via the Fox and Wisconsin Rivers in Wiaconain. I deem
it an agreeable dntv to commend the action of our delegation
in Congress, for their efforts in the furtherance of the several
projects for cheapening the heavy and bulky transportation in
which our people are so vitally interested.
In this same connection I would commend to your oareral
attention, the project of connecting the waters of the Misais-
nppi with those of the great lakes by canal, a survey for which

'Agriculture is the primary source of wealth. Through all
the ranificationa of indnstrial development and the combina-
tions of art and science, runs that underlying necessity for food
which renders the cultivation of the soil the first essential of
any real prosperity. Where that great interest languishes,
there can be no durable basis for any other form of industry.
It should therefore he your first duty to foster the great pur-
suit which is thus the wide foundation of our welfare, and I

sfaall be happ7 to co-operate with you in all reasonable measnreit
lookiDg to that end. Wliile the wonderful capacity of oar soil
and climate for wheat-growing, and the recently improved pro-
cess for floor manufacture, have strongly tended to render that
branch too much a specialty, I am glad to welcome vanoas evi-
dences of that diversiflcation of products which I think essen-
tial to wise and safe husbandry.
The rich grasses, pnre water, and stimalating climate of onr
State, combine advantc^ea for stock-raising which I am glad to
observe are being more generally recognized. Oar improved
facilities for transportation promise remunerative retarns from
the shipment of fat cattle to the markets of the South and East.
I learn with gratification of a single dealer who forwarded
3,600 head to Chicago within the past year ; while the extent
to which the commendable efforts in behalf of improved breeds
of cattle and horses are raising the grade of stock throughout
the State, is welcomed by all who desire the best results of agri-
culture. The unquestionable advants^s we possess for sheep
and wool prodaction, deserve more thorough and persevering
efforts for their profitable development. The experiments in
the culture of hops, flax seed, and the various products hereto-
fore deemed among the minor results of agriculture, serve a
valuable purpose in exhibiting the favorable conditions enjoyed
in Minnesota for a diversified husbandry.
The improvements in the manufacture of flour by the millers
of this State, although comparatively little known as yet, have
already given us an enviable reputation. Wherever the flour is
known it leads all other brands in price and consumption, while
the enhanced price of oar spring wheat resulting therefrom has
added millions to the value of this crop. Five years ago our Min-
nesota wheat sold much lower than the winter wheat grown sonth
of us, but the growing reputation of our flour as the finest in the
world, has greatly appreciated oar wheat, while the vastly in-
creased mannfacture of flour within the State has given an ad-
ditional profit to our people.
WABBH0D8BIIBH.
I would suggest, whether in view of the magnitude of tba
" DigiLizedbyGoOglc

grain interests of the State, more legislation is not reqaired to
protect owners of wheat and other kinds of j^rain who are com-
pelled to entrnst their property to the haods of warebonsemen.
The farmers and dealers in grain shoald have al) the protection
that the most stringent laws can give them against irresponsi-
ble, nnfortnoate, careless or dishonest warebonsemen. In the
absence of law regnlating the etori^e and grading of grain it has
been decided by the United States Courts that the title of the
property passes from the farmer to the warebonsemen when the
grain is delivered for storage and is liable for any outside debts
of the warehoDsemen. This should be prevented by wise legis-
lation, BO that no title or claim to snch property aboald pass nn-
til actually sold. I ask yonr oarefnl attention to the matter.
SALBS OP PUBLIC LANDS.
The absorption of the public lands is an interesting subject
as affecting onr agricaltural development. From the several
United States Land Offices in the State I learn that the total dis-
posal of the public lands under the several modes provided by
lawduring the past year comprises an aggregate of 734,325 acres,
of which 427,666 acres were taken under the Homestead Act and
62^6 acres nnder the Tree-Culture law, both indicating whole-
some tendencies in the absorption of onr unoccupied lands.
OOMOLOBIOM.
The coodiUon of the State finances and of onr various pub-
lic institutions has been fully and ably presented in detail by
the Executive, whose creditable administration closes to-day.
It only remains for me to congratulate you and the people at
large upon the favorable auspices under which our State goes
forward to a promising future. If thus early in her career,
Minnesota is the largest producer of breadstufis in the Union ;
if her facilities for transportation have bo soon beon re-inforced
bya railroad construction grasping her utmost boundaries ; if her
common-school system has reached the best condition of prac-
tical development, endowed by a fund ranking the fourth in the

coontry, while her higher edacatioD&I interests are on a footiog
of the most promieing nBefalness, and if those charitable iosti-
tations whose tender care constitutes the crowning honor of
onr civilization, already attest the wide sphere of their bene-
ficence', it ahuald fill onr hearts with the deepest gratitude and
inspire them with the highest hope.
If we shall press forward in this coarse — foster the potent
and kindly agencies which conserve the bigheat pablic good —
attain and guard with jealous care a spotless public credit, and
above all reverently follow the guiding hand of God as the be-
ginning and end of the highest wisdom, it will be difficult
to limit the prosperous career of our young commonwealth in
the boDodleas pathway of the fatare.

Th« contract for furnialiiDg the stfttioaery for use of the LegiaU-
tare anci the varions departmeats, waa dnly let to T. S. White &
Co., of St. Panl, irhose proposals were the lowest of four receiTod.
Two proposals only were receiTcd for fhmiBhing the paper nocei-
ear; for printing, IJie lowest, quality of samples considered, being
that of ATerill, Bossell & Carpenter, of St. FanI, with whom a
contract was completed. The deuils of all the bids will be found
in the appendix.
The appropriations estimated to be necessary for the ensuing year
are, for paper for printing, $8,000, for stationery, (2,000.
The stationery return of this department for the year ending
NoTember SO, 1875, is exhibited in the appendix. The issues to
the different departments of the goTemment are separately giTOn,
for which issues Touchers are on file in this office for examination
of the proper committee.
PUBLIO PSIHTIMO.
The very liberal maximum rates for printing and binding under
the act of March 8, 1875, easily secured contracts for each class of
the public printing, and at rery fsir discounts in cases where com-
petition had not been banished. David Ramaley, of St. Panl, Is
the contractor for the prisling of the flrst and second classes ; Nor-
man Wright, of St. Paul, for the third class ; J. J. Lemon, of St.
Paul, for the fourth class, and J. K. Moore, of St. Peter, for the
fifth class. The year covered by these contracts commenced Nov.
iBl, 1675.
The printing and bindiug of the Gieneral and Special Laws of
1875 was done Jby Norman Wright, whose proposed discount of
12^ per cent, was the highest offered.
zedbyGoOglC
SBORSTART OF STATE. 9
A propoauion was raceived from a responsible source to purchase
the entire edition of special laws of 187fi, except such as might be
Jadged necessary to retain for official use; but neither the Treas-
urer, who under the present law sells the Special Laws, nor the
Secretary, who furnishes those to be sold, believed that such a sale,
wtUi ita evident consequences, was the policy of the law. This fact
is here mentioned, in order that, If a similar proposition shall be
made hereafter, the precedent which exists for its rejection majr not
then be ODpubtished and unknown.
The method adopted last year through necessity, of numbering
the various docoments which go into the bound volumes of the Ex-
ecutive Documents, instead of repaging each document so that the
volumes may be " conaecntlvely p^ed," has many advantages. It
is more conveDient in making up the book, and no leas so in using
them. It saves time and money. Tbennmberingof the documents '
will enable the printer also to make up the volumes in such a man-
ner that the same reports will be habitnally found in the same vol-
ume and in the same order. For these and other reasons, and
becaose the numbering of the documents answers every end aimed
at in the consecutive pagiof;, it has been held to be a snbstantial
compliance with the purpose of the law, and the contractor has been
authorized to number the documenu and to omit the delay and save
the coat of consecutive paging.
The Increase in the number of towns and counties, and the growth
of the population, makes necessary the publication of 8,000 copies
of the General Laws. A law should be passed requiring the prlnt-
ine of that number.
The Superintendent of printing disclaims responsibility for the
publication in the Transactions of the State Horticultural Society
of a catalogue of the plants of Minnesota, made in 1805 by a Wis-
consin naturalist. The right lo cut down, mutilate or trim a report
hiu never been claimed by this department for itself, but its right
to reject and prevent the printing of that which Is known to be no
report nor any part of transactions authorized to be printed is in-
disputable. The publication of the matter referred to was nnaa-
thorised, a trick npon this office as well as a fraud upon the state.
It was a fraud upon the state because the catalogue never was in
the possession of the Horticultural Society, was never made part of
its transactiotas, and never directed by it Lo be published. The
reasons assigned in the exculpatory preface to the publication that
the work is of great value, that it properly belonged in another re-
port, and that the author is lately deceased, are all Immaterial.

The publication waa a trick upon this departmentniecause the
matter had been rejected by it, bat was taken surreptitiously to the
printer after the copy fortheentirebook,ae waaauppoBed.hadbeeii
transmitted to him. If it bad been possible to infer a knowl-
edge on the part of the contractor that the catalogne was not a part
of the transactions, and not authorized to be included, the bill for
printing should never have been paid by the state.
THS CENSUS,
Forms of schedules tor the enumeration of the inhabitants of tbe
state were prepared by this department and duly distributed. The
blanks were designed to show every thing required by the statnte
to be ascertained, and nothing more ; and they were prepared also
t with a view to secure the greatest particularity and completeness in
regard to such matters. The law was printed upon one cover page
of each schedule, and instructions for using the blanks, explaining
every possible point in the plainest of language, was printed on the
other. But a large number of assessors disregarded tbe instrnctions
to a wonderflil extent. So that there is less deflniteness than was
designed, and less reliance to be placed on the completeness and
accuracy of the whole. For Instance one column was prepared in
which assessors were directed to indinate the insane, idiotic, deaf
and dumb and the blind, by designated words and abbreviations. This
column was headed by the word " condition," in order that it might
be referred to and its use explained in the " Instructions." Quite a
number of assessors, who did not read the instructions, used that
column to mention that sncb and such persons are " healthy," " In-
firra," " twins," " triplets," "guests," or " drunk," Whether sncb
assessors, without knowing what the column was for, have after all
accidentally put all the insane, idiotic, deaf and dumb, &c., in their
several towns, into their proper place, is a matter for conjecture.
But it is after all likely that the data are as accurate as are ob-
tained at any enumeration in a frontier state.
Seventy-four counties have made and returned enumerations,
showing tbe totals following :

The discrepancy between the sum of the known nnmber of males
and the known ntimber of females and the total population, is ac-
counted for b; the omission to give age or sex of some 146 persons,
CDomerated. To the proportionate extent of that nnmber, 145, the
nnmber of males over 21 years of age, and the number of persons
of school age are to be increased.
Tbe rate of increase of the population of the state appears from
the following comparison according to the official enumerations

The cooditioQ of the State Treasary at the close of the last fiscal
year as shown by the firat statement in this report in comparison
with the same statement for the preceding year, should be carefully
considered in connection with the estimated receipts and disbnrse-
ments for this year, and the appropriations of this Bession kept
within the probable ability of the treasury to meet them.
The special appropriations of the last legislature were $100,000 in
excess of the estimated receipts orer current expenses, and if there
had Dot been a large amount of these appropriations saved, the credit
of the State would have been seriously impaired. The reckless leg-
islation of last year, in this respect, cannot be repeated without dis-
astrous results.
It should be borne in mind that there is a limit to the resonroea
of the State treasnry, and that all expenditures must be restricted
accordingly. The present financial policy of the State, initiated
with the enactment of the new tax law has for its object a redaction
as well as an equitable adjustment of the burdens of taxation, but it
cannot be sustained and accomplished without the assistance and
co-operation of the Legislature.
The assessed valuation of taxable property for the year 1871 was
1217,427,211. From this amount, however, should be deducted
over $2,SO0,O00 of fictitious assessment of personal property re-
turned from Ramsey county and afterwards canceled', really re-
ducing the assessed valuation of 1874 to about 1215,000,000.
The assessment of new lands and improvements with the annual
aaaessment of personal property for 1875, increases the taxable
property of the State to $21 8,855,743, an apparent increase over the
preceding year of $1,428,432, but an actual increase of nearly
$4,000,000, which consists almost entirely of additions made to the
real estate assessment. The actual value of the taxable property of
the State, making allowance for all exemptions if properly assessed,
woald amount to at least $800,000,000.
With an actual increase of nearly $4,000,000 in the taxable prop-

erty over lut year, there hu been a redaotion of more than-
1200,000 in the aggregate taxation, the State tax haviag been-
rednced $50,000, and a slight reduction of local taxes haviiig been
accomplisbed in some localities, while the average rate per cent, or
taxatiOD stands at less than one and tbree-foarths per cent, against
about one and nine-tenths per cent, for 1874, and orer three and
one-third per cent, for 1878.
The abstract of tax lists, Appendix "£," shows the taxes raised
in each county for different purposes, and the total taxation of the
Slate for all purposes aggregating 93,892,482, against 14,102,835
for 1874. The largest item for any purpose is the city and town-
ship taxes, including taxes for all general manictpal purposes,
amonnting to tli249,553.
The next largest item is for educational purposes, whfch, inclad-
ing the ono-raill general school tax, and the special school district
taxes, amounts to 11,108,259. - To this amount of direct taxation,
for educational purposes may be addq^ the expenses of the County^
Snpfirintendents and State Saperintendent of Public Instruction^
the Normal Schools, State UniverBity, Training Schools and Insti-
tutes, and the income of the public school fund, making the annual
expenditure in the State for educational purposes about $1,400,000.
The total taxes for all county purposes are $1,046,606, and for
SUte purposes, $459,606.55.
However onerous taxation may be in various localities in thtt
State, it cannot be attributed to an excessive State tax, the aggre-
gate amount of which has been reduced $50,000 per year fur two
years past, and the rate per cent, reduced from five mills in 1873»
to two and thirty-three hundredths mills in 1874, and two and one-^
tenth mills in 1875. No public expenditure should be authorized
that will ever again require a rate exceeding two mills on the dol-
lar valuation. Larger amounts of State tax may be necessary, but
the increasing taxable basis of the State will raise the amount
needed at this limited rate.
If school district, town, city, and county taxes were as low com-
paratively as the State tax for 1875, the average rate of taxation in
the State would not exceed one and one-half per cent., however, the
preaent rate of about one and three-foanhs per cent, is very low
when compared with former years. There is very little, and with
equitable assessments there would be no oppressive taxation outside
of our lai^e towns, and wherever there is exhorbitant taxation as-
above shown, it is for inunioipal and educational purposes. These
taxes should be limited to a maximum rate the same as county taxefr

THK STATE TAX OF 1875.
The State constitution requires the legislature " to provide for so
annual tax sofflcient to deft-ay the estimated ordinary expenses of
the State each year."
Pursuant to this requirement the last legislature imposed a tax of
4^0,000 for the year 1875, this being the estimated amount neces-
sary to raise by taxation to meet the probable demands upon the
State treasocy during the year 1876. Subsequent to the passage of
the act providing for this amount and in consequence of the extra-
ordinary appropriations made for the benefit of grasshopper suf*
ferera, a supplemental act wse passed impoasing an additional
tax of one-half mill, equivalent to an increase of the aggregate
amount $109,427, nbich it was assumed would be necessary to meet
other special appropriations tbat could not be paid from the re-
-ceipts of the treasury during the current year and consequently
WO^ld have to go over and be paid from the colleci-ions of 1876.
Of the $112,000 appropriated for the relief ot grasshopper euffer-
«r8 $86,000 was unexpended and canceled. This amount thus
saved to the State with sundry other unexpended appropriations,
and 120,000 realized fh)m the balance of the State l>onds authorized
by the loan of 1873 for the erection of public buildings which it
became necessary to issue on the first of July, made a difference in
the receipts and disbursements of the treasury during the year of
455,000 in favor of the State, and in my opinion rendered the extra
half mill tax unnecessary ; consequently I assumed the responsibil-
ity of ignoring it, and only certified to county auditors two and one-
tenth mills State tax for 1875, being the approximate rate required
to raise $460,000, which with collections of delinquent taxes, of taxes
firom railroad, insurance and telegraph companies and miscellaneous
receipts, will be amply sufBcient to meet all deferred appropriations,
the ordinary expenses of the State government, and all other neces-
sary public expenditures for the ensuing year.
THK STATK DBST.
The regular bonded indebtedness of the State has been Increased
$20,000 during the year by the issue of the balance of the l>onds
«Dthorized under the loan of 1873, which brings the amonnt of the
bonded debt up to the constitutional limit of $500,000.

To meet these boods sb they mature there ts dot $92,088.96 in
the sinkiug ftind, which will be increased by the probable receipts
daring the year to 1120,000. This amount will meet the bonds
maturing January 1, 1877, and leave a balance of $20,000, which,
with the receipts fh>m delinquent taxes, and the usual annual levy,
will be sufficient to cancel the entire debt as it matures ; perhaps,
however, it may be necessary to increase the amount levied for 1876,
in order to meet the $100,000 maturing January, 187S.
TAXBS AND TAX LAWS.
An experience of two years in the administration of the amended
tex law baa demonstrated its efficiency aud superiority over the
old law, especislly in its provisions relating to tax sales, which are
regarded by eminent Jurists as sufficient to ensure a perfect tax
title.
Unlike nearly if not quite all of thb other States in the Uuion,
wo can secure collection of real estate taxes only by sale of the
property, hence the absolute necessity for a law that cannot be
evaded or set aside. In consequence of this peculiarity of our
revenue system, and of the general inefficiency of the old law, tax
payers have become more and more negligent, and the amount of
delinquent taxes has increased from year to year, necessitating the
levying of taxes each succeeding year lai^ly in excess of the
amounts actaally needed for current expenses, tn order to cover
deficiencies caused by delinquent taxes, burdening the tax-payers
with excessive taxes, in consequence of the failure of the non-iax-
pagtn to meet their public obligations.
Ttie delinquent State taxes, as shown by Appendix "B," amounted
at the close of the last fiscal year to $460,902,68. The Sute tax
being ftom one-sixth to one-eight of the aggr^ate taxes of eaoh
year, this amount shows a total delinquency of State, county and
other local taxes of about $8,500,000, and this amount of delln-
^ent taxes, almost equal to the total amount of taxes for all
purposes levied in tiie State for 1875, represents the excessive
taxes levied daring past years to carry delinquencies. Had these

dellnqaent taxes never accnied, the t^gregsta tszation of ttie State
daring the time they have been accumulating woald have beeo this
amoant leas, and our State would have been saved fVom mach of
the odium justly incnrred by exorbitant taxation. A tax svstem
that admits of snch laxity is alike detrimental to private and pub-
lic interest, cauaing high taxation and entailing nnneceBsary ex-
penses and possible loas of property upon the delinquent tax-payer.
The groat desideratum of low taxation can only be attained
throogtt a system that will secure an equitable assessment of prop-
erty, and by compulsory process or oppressive penalties, secure
payment of taxes before delinquency.
The amended law of 1874 Imposed a penalty of ten per cent, upon
all real estate taxes returned delinquent on the first day of June,
which resulted in securing the payment of $475,000 of State taxes
before the June settlement of 1874. The legislature of 1876 re-
pealed this penalty clause and only $405,000 of State taxes were
collected before the June settlement of 1875, showing a direct fall-
ing off of at least $70,000 in collections, one-half of which may be
attributed to tl^s unwise legislation.
The large amount of unpaid appropriations and the present deple-
ted condition of the State treasury will, without doubt, suggest
to the present legislature the necessity of reviving this penalty in
order to meet the expenditures of the ensuing year, and preserve
the credit of the State which has so long been unimpaired.
1 would al^ recommend the restoration of the five per cent, pen-
alty upon personal property taxes on the first day of February, and
the compulsory collection of all delinquent personal property taxes
before the March settlement. The preseut law allowing these taxes
to remain unpaid until June, imposes unnecessary labor and respon-
sibility upon the county treasurer and results in loss to the public
funds through failures and removals, besides the receipts ^m per-
sonal property taxes are always needed in March to meet legislative
expenses which invariably burden the treasury at this time.
CODMTT ASSESSORS.
The greatest evil, however, of our entire revenue system, is in
the assessment or valuation of property for taxable purposes.
This determination or establishment of the basis of taxation — the
most important pMt of the whole scheme, requiring the greatest
care and the finest discrimination in its adjustment — has been
treated as of the least importance, having been generally entrusted
to the most unskillfhl and incompetent hands, and so long rcf;arded
zedbyGoOglC
AITDITOR OF STATB. 27
SB a trivial matter, that it has broaght about a complete pablic de-
morftlizatioQ in reference to this question. Asseaamente of prop-
erty at its (rue andfiiU value tn money, aa required by law, are the
exceptioD and not the rule.
Under valuationa are made through favoritism or bribery, ezcess-
ive TaluatioDS through spite or revenge, and a syatematic OTer-as-
aesBment of the land of non-reaidenU has been common for year»
in many localities. All of these outrages have been perpetrated
under aemblance of the authority of law, and in flagrant violation
of its plainest provisions.
While these oSenaea are directly chargeable to the assessors,
they are not alone responsible for them ; they have been abetted
by county commiseionere, and sanctioned and encouraged by the
people.
The practice of making incorrect liats of tangible property,
and false statements of intangible assets, and managing to secure,
through evasion, concealment or bravado, a false and fVaudulent
return of property for taxation, Is so common throughout the State
that it hardly excites comment, and those who succeed to the great-
est extent in this nefarious business of bluffing the assessor and
defVaading the public, are oftentimes commended for shrevrdness
and management, while those who meet their public obligations
fairly and honorably, by making correct returns of their property,
in strict compliance with the letter and spirit of the law, are liable
to ridicole and abuse.
The troth of theae statemente is too patent to admit of contradic-
tioD. The questioti ariaea how shall a reform be initiated and a sys-
tem devised that will not allow such abuses to exist ?
The legislation of 1874 and 1875 was designed to do something in
. this direction, but it has become apparent that it never can be ac-
complished through the preaent system of township assessors.
While many of them are competent and well qualified in every re-
spect, performing their duties with a conscientious regard for the
law there are so many more entirely incompetent that it is vain to ex-
pect that any immediate results in this work of reform can be secured
throagb the present system. The question of changing to a system
of county assessors was considered hy the last legislature and was
finally adopted for Ramsey county. Its operation in this county
during the past year has been prodoclire of ao many good results and
promises so much for the future that J am constrained to recom-
mend ita adoption for the entire State, being satisfled that if it is

reosoiuible revtrictiona, it will be ioflnitely preferable to the present
system of townehlp usessors which most be pronounced s faiiars.
THE OKMBBAL SCHOOL TAX.
Early in our territorial existence provision was made for tlie main*
tenance of pablic schools by a general tax of one-fourth of one per
cent. npoD all taxable property, which with fines and proceeda from
licenses constituted a general conaty school fiind to be apportioned
among the diObrent school districts according to the nnmbcr of per-
sons therein between the ages of five and twenty -one years.
Hiis tax and the manner of its apportionment was continued
under the State goyernment antil 1862, when it was rednced to one-
fifth of one per cent. — in view of an income from the public school
Aind which was established that year — the distribution remsining the
same.
In 1867 Mi. Dunnell entered upon the duties of the office of Super-
intendent of Public Instroction, and in his first report, and persist-
ently each year during his term of office, recommended that the law
be amended bo as to provide for the payment of the money realized
fix>m this tax into the State treasury, to be apportioned with the in-
come of tbe public school fbnd, making it a general Stale school
tax, iostead of a general count; school tax. No such amend-
ment was made, however, and the law remained unchanged
until 1875 when it was amended reducing the tax to one-
tenth of one per cent., and providing that each school district should
receive the amount of tax levied upon the property within its terri-
torial limits, making it a general school district tax, instead of a
general county school tax as before.
This reduction was made in consequence of the increased assess-
ment of 1874, which, being nearly double the amount of any pre-
ceding year, increased the amount of the tax in the same ratio,
and made it burdensome in many counties, and the distribution wss
changed in consideration of the question of the injustice of taxing
one locality for the benefit of another, which became more apparent
,than ever before, through the excessive tax conspquent upon the
increased taxable valuation.
Our public school fund is a common property derived fl-om sales
of land donated by the General Government, and it seems eminently
Jast and proper that the annual income realized from its investment
should be distributed throughout the State upon the basts of school-
able children, or more strictly in compliance with the constitutional
requirement, as suggested in my report for last year, upon the basis
zedbyGoOglC
AUDITOB OF BTATB. 29
of Bcholars or pupils altending the public schools ; but to dialribate
In thiu manlier a flind derived from direct tazatioa, seems clearly >
inequitable. While the entire SEate was sparsely settt^, and
before there waslas ^income from the school fund, public schools
could hardly be sustained only through this general system of tax-
ation, and the necessities of the case justified the means ; but since
these conditions no longer exist, a conUnaance of the system can-
not be urged upon [the plea of public necessity, or defended upon
any equitable grounds. Section 84 of the general school law sat«
iafies the reqnirement8|of section 8, article 6 of the State constitu-
tion, wbichlprovides that " The Legislature shall make such pro-
Tiaions, by taxation or otherwise, as, with the income arising from
the school fbnd, will secure a thorough and efficient system of
public schools in each township in the State." While section 34
only requires the tax payers of each school district to levy the neoes-
aary taxes for the maintenance of schools, this amended section 42,
nnder consideration, goes fnrther, and directly Imposes a tax of
one mill npon each dollar of taxable property in the State, the in-
novation npon the old law simply giving the tax thus imposed to
the district in which it is collected, and leaving the amount realized
from unorganized territory to the general fund.
The law should be amended so aa to prevent the formation of any
oonntry school districts with an area of lees than four square miles*
and a taxable basis of a less amount than $26,000.
If it is held that the State is bound to fUrnish equal educational
privileges to all, then the system of compulsory education should
be adopted, ever; public school In the State shonld be in session a
certain length of time, during which the attendance of all schoola-
ble children shonld be enforced, and all taxes raised for the support
of schools should be paid into the State treasury, and apportioned
with the income fh>m the sctiool fund. The right to impose a geo*
eral tax for the support of public schools involves the authority to
compel attendance of Uie schools, and to prescribe the time they
shall continue. This would be a great Innovation upon our present
educational system, which it is notpossible, if it should be consider-
ed desirable, to make at present; yet . no other 'conaideration will
justify a system of yenerai taxation for the maintenance of pablio
schools.

iilatare, aTerring th&t it aabjeots tbem to doable t&xation. A niod-
iScatioD of the law aeeniB oecessary, to preclnde th^ pouibility of
such inrjnstice; and while this matter Ib nnder consideration, 1
would suggest the need of aome provision to enforce payment of
taxes upon pine lands. It has been a common praotice to clear off
the timber from these lands, and let them become forfeited to the
State for taxes. La:^ amounts of taxes are annnally lost in tiiis
way. The taxes npon sach lands should become a lieu upon all
logs taken therefirom, and the logs should be subject to seizure and
Bale wherever found by the county treasurer, to satisfy snch taxes.
If personal property were made liable to seizure and sale for all
taxes, OS it is in all other States, it would remedy this evil, and
prevent many other abuses incident U> our anomalous system of
taxation, which does not recognize personal liability for taxes upon
real property.
TAXATION OT BAILBOAD LAUDS.
The fbllowing extract from my last report, referring to this aab-
fubject, is again submitted for consideration :
'* All rulroad lands are required to be listed for taxation when-
ever they are sold, or cotUracUd to be aold, and yet by special pro-
vision of law the taxes are not a lien upon the land in case of re-
version to tlie company by forfeiture of the contract. Considerable
amounts of taxes are lost to the local and State funds each year in
consequence of such forfeitures and reversion. The railroad com-
panies should be required to provide for the payment of these taxes.
or else the interest of the purchaser in the lands should be assessed
as personal property, the same as improvements npon homestead
lands are now assessed. School, University, Internal Improvement
and Agricultural College Lands purchased of the State arc in the
some situation in case of forfeiture on the part of the purchaser,
the taxes have to be canceled and are consequently lost."
TAXATIOM or TILSOBAPB, EXPaBSS AND TSANBFOKTATION OOMPAKIBS.
Unsuccessful efforts were made the last two sessions of the Leg-
islature to secure the taxation of the gross receipts of telegraph
and express companies, to correspond with the taxation of railroad
and Insaranoe companies. To these should be added sleeping oar
companies, and the various lines of independent transportation
companies which derive la^ incomes from the bosinesa of our State.
These corporations are all taxed in other States, and they should
zedbyGoOglC
AUDITOS OF BTATB. 81
be compelled to coatribute Bomething to oor revenne, in return for
the privileges and benefit s they receive ftom onr protecting lawa.
The tax of forty cents per mile now imposed upon telegraph
companies is absurdly low eoinpared with what tbey ought (o pay,
and would be obliged to pay if taxed two or three per ceot upon
their groea receipts. There is no valid reason for continuing this
nominal tax upon telegraph companies, or allowing the corporations
named entire immunity Arom taxation. I urgently comntend this
matter to your consideration.
OOLLBOnOM OF OOSPOBATIOH TAXXS.
I would respectftally renew the following suggestion in my last
report, which failed to receive consideration. " The manner of pay
ing railroad and other corporation tazea into the State treasury is
not in aocordance with the system that controls moat other trans-
actions of that department, under which the Aaditor's office directs
all payments into, and all disbursements fVom the treasury.
To aooomplish this, reports of all amounts due the State should
be made to this office, and the Treasurer should collect on the An-
ditor's draft for the amount reported or found due."
THE UnCBBUTB ASJVJK LICKK8K TAX.
The recent decison of the Supreme Court declaring the coostltn
lionality of the law under which this tax is imposed will render a
revision and amendment of the law necessary.
Tlie county auditors should be required to report the amount of
all moneys received by the county treasurer under the provisions
of this act to the State Auditor, and payment into the treas'
nry should be made on auditor's draft iu the same manner that oth-
er funds are covered into the State treasury. Provision should
also be made tor compensating all officers upon whom the duty of
ooUecting Utis tax is imposed.

uncanceled on their books. The amount of Uiis difference will rep-
resent illegal abatements, and other items of indebtedness to the
State, that should be provided for by a special State tax for each
eonnty, if not otherwise met, before tbe levying of the next general
SUtetax.
In connection with this matter, provision shoold also be made for
closing ont all lands forfuted to the State under the provisions of
the old tax law at whatever price can be obtained for them, and
clearing up in this way all delinquent taxes.
The accumulated taxes agunst many of these lands largely
exceed their valne, and so long as they remain uncanceled tko sub-
sequent tax can be realised from them. If the extinguishment of
all back taxes can be secured, with proper and legal assessments in
tbe future, and with the ten per cent, penalty restored, there will be
but very little land returned delinquent, and most of that will be sold
at the deliuQuent sales, so tliat tbe entire tax-list may be collected,
and a clean balance sheet shown at the end of each fiscal year. If
this policy is followed, the lowest possible taxation may be secured,
and there will be no excessive sums annually required to cover de-
linqncDcies.
Tht general tax law eboald be amended by re-enacting the pro-
vision of the old law, declaring lands bid in for the State and re-
maining unredeemed for two years, forfeited, and the absolute
property of the State, with the provision before mentioned for sell-
ing them at whatever price can be obtained ; and the fiirtber pro-
vision that all lands becoming the absolute property of the State
shall be stricken ftom the tax-lists, and no longer subject to taxa-
tion until sold to an actual purchaser. If the old law had con-
tained this provision it would have saved Uie old settled counties
no inconsiderable expense in carrying these lands on the tax-lists
and advertising them year after year.

The inveatment of the permanent school and university ftinds
will soon become a question of serious oonoem, such investment

■tate bonds we are authorized to purchase, vliich preclades the pos-
■ibility or making a profitable iDvcslment in them.
Miosoari six per cent, bonds having heretofore been below par,oar
iDTeetments in them liave been profltable, but they are now at par
and will probably ere long be at a premium, and bceidca this con-
sideration it is a qneslion of sound financial policy whether we
shoold increase our iDvestmenta in these bonds, which, including
orders now being filled by our agent in New York, amount to over
1400,000.
If some other investment is not authorized, we shall very soon b»
obliged to invent in United States five-percent, bonds, which at
present rates of premium would rednce the interest to about four
and one-fourth per cent. Sneh an investment would materially re-
dace the annual income from these funds, which will cause pi'onor-
tionate increased taxation for educational purposes. In view of
these facts it is important that this question shonld be considered
by this legislature. The State Trcasnrer of Wisconsin, in bis last
report, referring to these investments, says ; " Tlie high rate of
premium tin the purchase of United Slates bonds, or on the bonds
of Eastern States of nn questionable security, almost precludes the
possibility of making advantageous invesioients in these bonds.
The Commissioners of the School and University Lands have
deemed, therefore to the best interests of the State to confine theit
iDvestments to loans to school districts, to aid them in the erection
of school-houses, and to such counties as by law were authorized
to make loans.
The laws to that efliect are very stringent, aud surrounded with
all the necessary safeguai-ds to amply secure the loan, at the same
time, also, providing for annual redemption in installments. In case
of a failure to pay either Interest or principal, the amount unpaid
is to be assessed as a tax upon such delinquent school district or
county, and to be collected. with the other State taxes."
A constitutional amendment providing for legislation that will
onthorize aacb investments of our funds will be of immense benefit
to our State. There are hundreds of thousands of dollars of city,
county and school district bonds, many of which would not be ex-
changed for United States bonds, issued within our own State,
now onlst&mllng, at rates of tntercst varying from seven to twelve
per ci-nt., and many, if not most of them, have been sold to eastern
capitalists, at rates considerably below par. The discount, and ib-
tereat exceeding seven per cent., on all of these bonds now existiag;
Id this State, must amount to an exceedingly large sum, all of

which might have been saved to the tax-payera of the State, and a
seven per cent, loan secared to our State Ainds, if the moDey had
been invested in local bonds, instead of being sent oat of the State
for HisBonri six per cent, bonds, which aSbrd no better secoritj
than OUT local bonds would under proper legal restrictions.

Under the act of Coogresa approved Febniary 19, 1851, there
were located for the use of the Uaiversity 46,468.33 acres of land,
of which amount 23,861. 71 acresara pine lands, and 23,106.64 acres of
agricoltaral lands. Of the latter, 1,193,26 acres were sold to pay
indebtedness, b; the Board of Regents, in 1862.
By act of the L^islature, approved March 5, 1863, the State Aa-
ditor, as ex-officio Commissioner of the State Land Offloe, was re-
qaired to take charge of the University lands. By the act of March
4, 1864, a new Board of Regents was appointed, and ievested with
special powers, for the parpose of Hqnidating the indebtedness of
the Institution, and authorized to dispose of 12,000 acres of the
aniversity lands, which was subsequently increased to 14,000 acres.
Their reports show that a total of 14,734.76 acres have been sold,
of which amount descriptions for 12,541.67 acres have been obtained
by this office.
The lands remaining unsold in Meeker oonnty, 3,812.76 acres,
were appraised under the direction of this office, in 1872, and 80

The original grant covered 46,080 acres. Of this the State was
unable to avail itself of 11,Q20 acres, that amonnt being situated
ontaide the area surveyed by the general government. This fact re-
daced the origlaal available grant to 84,560 acrea.
As the United States government was tardy in certifying the se-
lected lands to the State, settlers were allowed to occupy and receive
patents Tor 6,762 acres. About 1,600 acres were also previously
covered by the terms of the act granting swamp lands to the State.
The remainder, 26,435 acres, have been certified to the State. Of
this amoant the Belle Plaine Salt Company were granted 7,648 aores,
«n complying with the acts of the Legislature. The rest of the cer-
tifled lands, amounting to 18,771 acres, are now available. Of the
nncertifled portion of the original grant, ag^pregatlng 19,872 acrea,
tiie various sums lost to the State were as follows :

I would respectrully saggest that the lawa relating to the sale of
University and Salt Spring lands be amended, placing them directly
ander control of this department.
UrrUtMAL IMFBOVEUUTT LANDS,
AH of the Internal Improvement land in the counties of Pope
and Sibley were appraised during the past year, amounting to 85,-
518.27 acres. The annual sales were 2,S89.17 acres, at an aferage
price of $5.45 per acre.
The request from the Department of the Interior for a relinquish-
ment of a portion of the lands alleged to be included in the grant
of the S^nt Paul and PociQc Railroad Company, to which referenos
was mode in ray lost report, boa not been complied with. The
lands included in this grant are of good quality and probably most
of them will be sold within the next five years.
The proceeds of these lands constitute a TuaA that cannot be dis-
posed of except by legislative enaetment approved by a vole of the
people. It may nltimately be used in settlement of the so-called
Sute Railroad Bonds.
STATE BWAKF LAUDS.
The estimated area of the state is 53,459,840 acres, of which ten
per cent, has been estimated to be " swamp or over^flowed lands,"
within the meaning of the act of Congress approved Sept. 28, 1850,
the provisions of which were extended to the state of Minnesota
by act of Congress, approved March 12, 1860, The surveyed area
of the State, according to the report of the U. S. Surveyor General
to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Aug. 26, 1875, is
87JS95,S91.65 acres, exclusive of water surfooe.
In 1 860 the surveyed area was about 18,400,000 acres, and owing
to loss trora prior grants, pre-emptions and entries, it is estimated
that the state will realize only about 3,000,000 acres.
There have been paUntetl to the Sute 1,142,458.18 acres,
and probably about 500,000 acres more will be received from the
lands at present surveyed, complete lists of which have been trans-
mitted by the U. S. Surveyor G-cneral to tlio Commissioner of the
General Land Office, and they now await the action of the Depart-
ment of the Interior.
The tabular statement shows that 835,989.83 acres have been

deeded to the seTersl railroad companies to whom grants have been
made, and 4,563.71 acres deeded to the assignee of the commUsion-
ere of the Uadelia State road.
By act of the Legislature approved Harcb 12, 1861, all thesvamp
lands in McLeod county were donated to the Agricultural College
of the State of Minnesota, subject to the control and disposal of
the Governor, president and executive committee of the State Ag-
ricultural Society, for the erection of bnildings oc endowments of
professorships oaly. None of these lands have been sold.
By act of the Legislatnro approved February 13, 1865, the even
nnmbered sections of swamp lands to the amount of 100,000 acres
each, for the Hospital for the Insane, the Deaf, Damb and Blind
Institute, and the State Prison, and 75,000 acres for each of the
three Normal Schools, were required to be set apart for the benefit
of these Institutions. The tabular statement of these lands shoirs
104,178.21 acres thus set apart, and 165,653.16 acres now. subject
to formal transfer, making 269,831.37 acres that have already in-
ured to the institutions mentioned under this grant.
By act of the Legislature approved March 9, 1875, these lands
were made subject to sale under the general provisions for the sale
of public lands, but no disposition can be made of them until the
snit of the St. Paul and Chicago railroad company against the Trus-
teea of the Hospital for the Insane, referred to in my last report,
has been decided.
I am informed that it will be at^ed before the Supreme Court In
April. For further information in reference to this suit, I would
respectfully refer to the reports of this office for the last two yeare.
By act of the Legislature approved March 2, 1865, 300,000 acres
wore granted to the Cannon river improvement company, to aid in
eecuring slack water navigation on the Cannon river. No lands
have been conveyed to this company.
Ad act of the Legislature approved March 3, 1865, provided that
the title to the remaining swamp lands, after the prior grants had
been satisfied, shoidd be vested in the Board of Directors of the S(A-
diers' Orphan Asylum.
By act of the Legislature approved Harcb 3, 1875, aid to the Da-
luth and Iron Range railroad company was granted to the amount
of ten sections per mile, from the swamp lands in the counties of
St. LoQJs, Lake and Cook. The estimated amount of the grant is
422,400 acres.

them Pacific railroad, large amounts of swatnp laods, inuring to the
State ander the act of March 12, 1860, lying within both the granted
and indemnity limits of the road'a, have been selected and certified
to the respective companies.
(Complete lists of all the surveyed swamp lands are being pre-
pared and will be transmitted to the Department of the Interior
when completed for the purpose of obtaining a patent for all lands
to which the state is entitled, and to ultimately secare an adjust-
ment of all existing grant«.
PUBLIC BUIUtDIQ LAMDS.
The aet anthorizing the formation of a state government granted
ten sections of land to the state for the erection of public buililings.
Under this grant 6,S95.12 acres were selected in Kandiyohi county,
and the selections have been certified to the Stale by the general
government. I would eoggest the passage of a law authorizing the
sale of these lands upon the same conditions as school lands are
now sold, and providing for the investment of the proceeds as a
-Capitol building fUnd. The present value of these lands at com-
pound interest will produce a much larger fund than can be realized
from their sale years hence, when the proceeds will be used in the
erection of a new capitol, besides the State, and the county of Kan-
diyohi will be beuefited through the settlement and cultiration of
these lands. I would t^rther suggest the setting apart of all re-
maining swamp lands after existing grants are satisfied for the bene-
lit of this proposed Hind, at the same time, providing against the
extension of any existing grant.
aT«TE LAKD BTUHPAOB AND COIXEOTIOH OF STDUPAGE AOCOUHTS.
No new cuttings of pine timber have been authorized during the
past year, and all cutting nnder old permits is nearly at au end,
the policy being to protect and preserve the timber on state lands
until increased prices can be obtained. Collections of stumpage
acconnts have been secured as fast as the circumstances of the par-
ties would allow. All unpaid accounts are secured and will be
covered into the treasury during the coming year. For reccom-
mendations in reference to this matter, I would respectfully refer to
my remarks nnder this head, on page b3 of my lost report. The
interest of the State in pine land atump^e is under the direct su-
pervision of the Surveyors General of Logs aad Lumber subject to

the direction of this office. Id addition to the inspection of th»
aorveyors and their depuLies ; specisl agents are employed e&ch sea-
son in connection with the TJ. S. Surveyor General's office for the
fnrther prevention of trespass apon these lands.
In condnding this last report of my first official term, and in view
of my incumbency anotlier term, I am impelled to ask an increase
of compensation for services rendered in tbis office, as it is now en-
tirely inadequate and unjust, as compared with other State offices,
especially the Treasurer's office, the salaries of which amount to
five thousand dollars per year, against five tbousind two hundred
dollars, and one thousand dollam for extra clerk hire, in tlie Audit-
or's office, which inclndes the increasing business of the State Land
Office. The labor performed in the two will not bear comparison ;
the correspondence alone in the Auditor's office being at least equal
to the entire clerical work of the Treasurer's office ; while the re-
BpoDsibiliLics Imposed upon the Auditor and Land Commissioner
equal if Ibey do not exceed those of the State Treasorer.
I snbmit this question, trusting tbat it may receive the considera-
tion it deserves, and that simple justice demands.
In its determination, it may be well to consider the propriety of
an entire readjustment of the salaries of State officers.
The salary of the State Treasurer is fixed at three thousand flvfr
hundred per year, while the salary of the Governor is limited to
three thousand dollars. The insufficiency of this salary bos been
recogniied by the Legislatnre, for years past, by an annual contri-
bution of eight hundred dollars for house rent, placing the Gover-
nor in Uie apparent position of a recipient of Legislative favorr
which is humiliating and unworthy the dignity of a great State.
The salary of the Governor, and of all other titate officers, should

FBOHTIES RELIXF LOAK.
By Joint resolntion of the last Legislatare, the State Treasurer
waa authorized to borrow temporarily for the use of the revenue
i^nd, a enm of money not to exceed eeventy-flve thousand dollars
(175,000.) A loan of fifty thousand dollars, for the purchase of
seed wheat was n^otiated with the First, Second, and Merchants'
National Banks of St. Fanl, the State paying interest at the rate of
seven per cent, per annum. July Srst the revenue rund was enabled
to repay this loan. The interest on the loan was nine huudred and
r<Hliy-8even dollars and ninety-four oenta (947.94-100,) which sum
was paid from the interest received on daily balances of State fhnds
deposited in National Banks.
UmtEWTA STATE BAILROAD BONDS.
1 would respectfully call the attention of the Legislature to these
bonds. Believing that States, equally with individuals should hon*
estly and Justly redeem their solemn pledges when made, as a citi-
zen of Hinnesota and member of the State administration, I
would respectfully recommend that this Legislature take some
action looking to their eventual payments in a just and equitable
manner. The people by their votes and the Legislatare by their
acts deliberately entered into a. contract by which the State of
Minnesota guaranteed the payment of these bonds. There was no
fk'aud or illegal aet in their issue and delivery by Governor Sibley.
Now, as representative men and law makers of the iitate, is it not
your duty to show by your acts that you believe in honesty, and
desire that justice be done, and thus remove the foul stain of repu-
diation which now blights the fair fame of the State of Minnesota.

In closing my official duties as State Treasurer, and my connec-
tion with the State administration, I desire to Uiank my brother
officers and assistants of the former and present administrations,
for the many favors and courtesies received at their hands.
I woald sincerely thank Governor Austin for the honor conferred,
and the confttlence implied in appointing me Treasurer, to r^orm
and restore confidence in the admialBtration of the Treasury de-
partment. It is a matter of congratulation to state tiiat the
reforms then inangnrated are now foUy established. They have
been approved by the people, and confirmed by legislative enact-
ments. His exoellency. Governor Davis, in bis annual message of
1875, has added his official testimony, in saying : " The Treasury
has been conducted with that skill and integrity by which the
administration of the present Treasurer has restored canfldence in
that department of the State government."
Having completed the task required of me, and restored public
confidence in this department, I now deliver up its cares and respon-
sibilities, having the conviction that I have endeavored to do my
duty in caring for and managing the ftinds entrusted to me, in the
interest of the State, and for the sole benefit of the people to whom
they belonged.
All of which, with the tables hereto annexed, are respectniUy
submitted for your consideration.

REPORT.
State of Miknebota,
Attorhet G-ENER\L'a OrriCMf
December 1, 1875.
To Hit Exc^leticy Cuahman K. Davis, Qovemor of Minnttota :
8iB : — I have the boDor lo submit to your Excellency my second
annual report, showing the number, character, and result of the
actions, civil and criminal, pi-osecuted or defended by me in behalf
of the State for the year ending November 30, 187fi. To my
report is appended the customary tabular statement of otfenses
reported to this olQce by the County Attorneys of the several
counties of kbe Slate, purporting to show the number, character
and result of all criminal cases prosecuted by them during the
current year, together with the cost of each of said prosecutioDS
to tlie county or State, and the amount of fines or penalties col-
lected.
The State vs. John Vadnais.
Indictment for assault with intent to commit rape. Found
guilty of simple assault. Judgment of the District Court affirmed,
and sentence pronounced directed to be executed.
The State vs. Thomas New. From Hennepin County.
Indicted for the embezzlement and n-audnlent conversioD of
money under section 23, chapter 95, of the General Statutes, and
judgment of the conrt below affirmed. It was held in this case,
among other things, that such indictment properly accuses tho per-
son indicted of the crime of larceny ; also, that a verdict finding
the value of the property embezzled at a given sum is consistent
and proper. Evidence that the ofibose charged was committed

before the timQ laid m tho inlicttn^at U ojiii>otQat, and is not
excluded by section 23, chapter 103. Where there has been an
actual embezzlement and fVaadnlent appropriation of monej
intmsted to a servant for delivery — a demand and refusal are not
necessary to constitute a conversion of the same.
Hie State vs. Emit Munch. From Ramsey County .
Two indictments for embezzling State funds, while Treasurer of
State. One of the indictments held sufficient and th e other insuffl-
cient. The case remanded to the District Court for farther pro-
ceedings, according to the views given in the opinion of the court.
It was decided in this case, that the number of the Judicial dis-
trict is no part of the title of t^e District Conrt, and if errone-
ously given may be rejected ; that it wa« competent for the Legis-
lature to declare the improper neglect or rofiHal to pay over the
State funds, according to the provisions of law, embezzlement ;
that au indictment ^^{nst a Sute Treasurer for embezzlement of
Stat« tanda need not state the character or amounts of the various
fiinds embezzled, nor that the same i« unknown to the Grand Jnry ;
tiiat by section 13, article 9, of the Cinstitntion, the oonveraion to
his own Qse, or loaning, depositing in banks or exchanging for
other fnnds, of any portiou of the Tanda of tlie State, without
authority of the Legislature, by any ofBcer o r other person charged
with the safe keeping, transfer or disbursement of the same, is the
crime of embezzlement and afelony, without any farther legislation.
The State vs. Henry R. Kent. From Ramsey County.
Indicted for embezzlement. Defendant was collector of pew
rents for a church corporation, and acted as such under a special
and express agreement, by which, as compensation for his services,
he was to have " five per cent, of all pew rents, nn matter who coU
lected them," It was held that the effect of this agreement was
to give defendant an undivided one-twentieth interest in the renta
collected, so that the same b ecame the joint pioperty of the cor-
poration and of the defendant, and th at he was therisfore not properly
indictable under section 23, chapter 95, of the General Statutes,
for an alleged embezzlement and iVaudulent conversion of the
same. The money or property must be the property of another
than the person indicted.
The State vs. Frederick Gummel. From Brown County.
Indicted for an ai^iilt witd intent to do great bodily harm.

ATIOBNBT ORNBBAL. 5
Held, thftt a person charged iritb an assault with intent to do great
bodily harm, being armed with a dangerous weapon, ia charged
with as assault with intent to commit a feloay, within the provis-
ions of section 12, chapter 91, Greneral Statutes.
The State vs. Henry S. Bliss.
Criminal action for assault and battery before a Justice of the
Peace in Wright county, and an appeal taken on questions of law
alone, to the District Court. Judgment of the court below was
affirmed in the District Court, and an appeal taken ftom such
judgment to the Supreme Court, and judgment affirmed^ It was
held In this case that witnesses for the State in a criminal case are
entitled to fees for their attendance, and mileage , and they may be
taxed in the costs. Also held, that it is not necessary that a
Justice of the Peace should sign judgments entered by him.
The State vs. Charles Ehrig.
Indicted for larceny, Hennepin county. Held, that a criminal
case cannot be removed from a District Court to the Supreme
Conrt by an ^peal taken from the verdict of a jury therein.
Appeal dismissed .
The State vs. J. Frederick Swanson. '
Convicted of manslaughter in the second degree . Error trom
District Court, Nicollet county. Orderentered afflrming Judgment
of court below.
'Hie State vs. Richard Gesaert.
Indicted in Washington county, in this Sta te, for the crime of
mnrder. The fatal wound was given in Washington. uonnty, but
death ensued in Pierce county, Wisconsin, which fact was alleged
in the indictment. Held, b/ the court, to charge the commission
of the offense in Washington county. The death, though it went
to characterize the acts committed in Washington county, was not
an act of the defendant committed in Wisconsin, but the conse-
quence of his acts committed in Washington county, against ihc
peace and dignity of this State.
The State vs. Jay Owens-
Indicted in the District Court, Ramsey county, under section 1,
chapter 9, Laws of 1873, for procuring abortion by administering a
drug. Appeal ftono judgment, and Judgment of court below
zedbyGoOgle
ANNUAL KBPOST.
It was held in this case, among other tbiogs, that an
indictment is not insafflcient because it alleges in the alternatiTS
the ase of difTere'ot means in the commission of the crime, lliat
it was not necessary to allege that the drug was swallowed by the
person to whom it was administered. That such person wonld not
be regarded as an accomplice, and that to convict of the offense
specified by section 2, chapter 9, Laws of 1873, it is not necessary
that the Jury find that the drug or medicine administered was likely
to produce abortion — nor the character, nor quality of snch drng
or medicine.
The State vs. Edward Cassiday.
This action was brought in Justice's Court, iu the (dty of Roch-
ester, Olmsted county, under an act of the L egielatnre, approved
March 10, 1873, entitled "An act to establish a fund for the '
loundation and maintainance of an asylum for inebriates. " The
defendant admitted the allegations ia the CDiniilaiut to be true, but
claimed the said act to be uuooastitntional, and moved his dia*
charge upon that ground. He waa convicted, and ordered to pay
a fine of $25.00, and costs of prosecution. An app eai was taken
to the District Court for that county, where the Judgment of the
coort below was atBrined, and an appeal taken to the Soprcice
Court, where Lhc act was sustained as a legitimate exercise of the
police power of the State, and not repugnant as respects its title
to section 27, article 4, of the constitution.
The State vs. Joseph S. Brady.
Appeal from Judgment. District Court, Sherburne county.
Appeal dismissed on motion, at April term of Supreme Court.
The State vs. Nicholas liulladore.
Writ of error fVom Dieti-ict Court for Anoka county. Appeal
dismissed, or withdrawn by counsel for the appellant.
The State vs. D. E. Dwyer.
Appeal ftom Freeborn county. In this case it was lield compe>
tent tor the Legislature, in the absence of constitutional restraint,
to invest the supen'isors of a mnnicipal township, though a quasi
corporation, with the power and authority to grant licenses and to
regulate all 'persons vending or dealing in intoxicating liquors ;
and beld further, that the provision that no license should be
granted for a less term than one year, does not deprive the super-

Ilie State vs. Oscar H. CcHufort.
Indicted la District Conrt for Beaton county, under section 1,
act of March 6, 1871, for prevention of cruelty to animals. Appeal
from Jadfnnent.
Held, when a demurrer to an indictment is allowed, the order or
judgment allowing it is a bar to ftartlier proMcntions, unless the
conrt at the same time allow an amendment of the indictment, or
wder it re-sabmitted to tbe Grand Jury ; such an allowance of
amendment or direction to re-aubmit must be by matter of record,
and ought to be made in the order or judgment allowing the de-
murrer.
The State vs. Frank Sbenton and Mary A. Auhir.
Indicted in the District Court for Dodge county, for aasaolt,
being armed with a aangerous weapon, with intent to do great
bodily harm. Appeal fVom judgment, and judgment of the court
tielow affirmed. Held, that an indictment under section 33, chap-
ter 'J4, of the General Statutes, is sufficient, if it directly charges
the defendant with acts coming fully within the statutory desorip-
tion of the ofleuse, in tbe substantial words of the statute, wiUiout
any (tirther expansion of Ihe matter.

The State vs. D. Morrison.
Thia case arose under the new tax law, in Mille Laos county,
and waa certified up by tbe Judge of the District Court for thai
cooDty. The court held in this case that under the act of Match
9, 1874, entitled an act to provide tor tbe assessment and collec-
tion of taxea — that so detect in tbe affidavit veril^ing tbe liat filed

proof of the publication to be filed. The parties to such proceed-
ings are not entitled to a trial by Jury of any issue except the
issue that the tax has been paid, or that the property is exempt
from taxation.
The State vs. The Winona and St. Peter B. B. Co,
This case was certified up from Waseca county, under the act of
Haroh 9, 1874, providing for the assessment and collection of taxes.
This company became entitled to receive and received lands for
oooBtmcting its road under the act of May 22, 1857, and acts
amendatory thereof and supple at entary thereto. Befwe the lands
were conveyed by the State to the company, it being indebted to
certain parties for moneys advanced to it, and for constructiiig 105
miles of its railroad, made a contract with them in writing whereby
it i^^eed, in part payment of such indebtedoeas, to sell, and as
soon as it should acquire the title from the State, to convey to
them, or agcb persons as they might designate, so many acres of
Uie land to which it was entitled, as it should be entitled to and
receive for constructing the 105 miles, to be selected by commenc-
ing at Winona and proceeding westward, taking all the lands along
the line of the road, till the number of acres should be got. There
was a clause in the contract which in eflect gave to the said par-
ties, so contracting with the company, the option instead of taking
a conveyance, to leave the title in tbe company, and have it dis-
pose of the lands for their benefit. The lands were claimed to be
exempt from taxation onder section 4, chapter 2, of the act of
May 22, 1857.
The Supreme Court held in this case, that as the entire consider-
ation for the lands had been received by the company, tbe entire
equitable and beneficial ownership of the lands was vested by the
contraat in the parties so contracting with the company, and that
the company held the legal title, from the time of the (Xtnveyance
by the State to it, only in trust tor them. That tbe contract was
suoh a sale as section 4, chapter aforesaid, contemplated, and that
the lands were subject to taxation' — afiSrming Uie Judgment of the
court below.
This case was subsequently re-ai^;aed, ob a motion for leave to
JigiLizedbyGoOgle
ATTORNEY GRNERAL. 9
re-argae it, and the motion denied. Thia decision la one of very
great importance to the [leople or the State, as it brings under tax-
ation a vaat body of land, eatimated at 600,000 acres, which has
hitherto escaped taxation.
The case of the State vs. The Southern Minnesota R. R. Com-
pany, ariaing also nnder the tax law of 1874, and certified up from
Olmsted county, was decided adversely to the State. The court
held the lands in question to be exempt from taxation.
The case of the State va. Henry Young and the dureties upon
his official bond as County Treasurer of Sibley county, to lecover
the sum of eight thousand fonr hundred and fifty-three dollars, col-
lected by Young for the State, but not accounted for or paid over,
was tried at the September term, 1875, of the District Court for
Sibley county, and reaulted in a diaagreement of the jary. Thia
case will be tried again at the March term of said court next year.
The suit of the St. Paul & Chicago (Railway Company va. the
Trustees of the Hospital for the Insane and the Governor, to re -
cover certain swamp lands theretofore selected and set apart for the
nae of the Hospital for the Insane, by the Commisaioner of the
State Land Office, was argued and submitted to the court (Diatiict
Court, Ramsey county) several months ago, but has not yet been
decided.
The snit of the State vs. A. Cutter and T. Reardon, to recover
9500, was discontinued by me upon the defendant. Cutter, giving
new notes for tbe amount, with approved sureties, and notes turned
to the State Treasurer, to whose order they were made payable.
Thia course was taken by me in view of the act of 1872, relieving
Mr. Cutter) and for other reasons which it is unnecessary to state.
In the suit va. Munch Bros. & Co., pending in the Common Pleas
Court for Ramsey county, at the date of my last report, judgment
waa recovered in favor of the State for the amount claimed, viz.,
94,634. 22 and costs, against Gnstav Munch and Adolph Stierle.
No judgment waa recovered against Emil Munch, for the reason
that he was not a member of the firm of Munch Bros. & Co. at the
time the obligation was given, upon which the suit was brought.
No property found upon which to levy execution.

Th€ amonnt of the judgment against the Anoka Lamber Com-
pany, viz., $764.65, has been made, aince my last report, npon ex-
ecution in Anoka county.
The Judgments against Brown & Brocknay, Crocker Bros. &
Lamoreauz and Crocker Bros. & Lamoreauz and Mendenhall,
heretorore reported^ still remain uncollected. Executions have
been issued into Hennepin and Anoka counties, but have been re-
turned unaatisfled. I may state in this connection that William
Brockway, of the firm of Brown & Brockway, baa made a proposi-
tion to pay thirty-tbree cents on the dollar in f\ill of the judgment,
by note, with indoraer, payable in six months. I do not feel at
liberty to accept his offer unless directed or authorized so to do by
the Legislature. The amount of the judgment against Brown &
Brockway is tl|443 and interest thereon from July 1, 1874.
The suit of the State against Charles Mcllrath was, by stipula-
tion and order of the court, referred to fireenleaf Clark, Esq., of
St. Paul, April 17, 1875, to take the testimony, hear, determine and
repoi't a judgment. ^
Tliia case has been on trial, at intervals, f)-om the last named
date until the 22 day of November last, when the testimony waa
closed. In the taking of the testimony the referee sat in St. Paul,
Miniieapolis and Stillwater, for the accommodation of witnesses,
and to expedite the trial. A great many witnesses were examined
on behalf of the State. Written arguments have been made on
behalf of the State and defendant, and case finally submitted to
the refeiec for his decision.
The State vs. D. E. Goulding, et al.
This is a suit brought in the District Court for Mille Lacs
county, t^ainst D. E. Goulding, defaulting treasurer of that
county, and his auroties, to recover a small balance due the State.
This suit was begun in May, 1875, and waa noticed for trial at the
September term of that court, but being unavoidably detained in
Sibley county, it was continued, at my request, until the next term.
Suit was also brought in Jackson county, against the ex-trcas-
urer of that county and hia aureties, to recover a small balance
due to the State, but it subsequently appeared that the amount
claimed ({84.60) had been paid over by the treasurer to the county,
zedbyGoOt^le
ATTORNET OENEEAI.. 11
by mistake. The money nas reftinded, aod paid into the State
treunry.
The claim of the State vs. The West Wisconsin Railway Com-
pany, for tax (one per cent.) on the groaB earnings of that road
within this State, for the year 1872, namely, t372, was paid into
the Treasury April 28, 1875.
The L^islature, in 1874, passed an act to provide for obtaining
title to lands by the State of Minnesota, for the use of the State —
see chapter 36, Laws of 1874. Proceedings have been had during
the past year under this act, for the condemnation of certain real
estate adjoining the State University gronnds, and also adjoining
the State Prison grounds, for the use of those institntions respect-
ively. Tbe otScers ot those institntions will doubtless report ftilly
as to what has been done in the premises, and hence it is unneces-
sary for me to say more in my report.
I may say in this connection that in certain proceedings had to
enforce the payment of taxes on real estate remaining delinquent
in and prior to the year 1873, for the connty of Washington, cer-
tain pieces or parcels of land within the inclosure and occapied by
the State Prison, were included. I filed an answer in the District
Court for that county, objecting to the taxes so assessed and lev-
ied, upon tbe ground that the said pieces or parcels of land were
the property of the State at the time of the levy, and therefore
exempt from taxation. A decree of the court was entered dis-
^arging the same from all taxes and penalties.
There have been, during the year, a number of actions brought
under chaptered of the General Statutes, to test the title to local
offices, in which I have appeared, nominally, as attorney for the
State and relators, but with which, as a matter of fact, I have had
but little to do. The cases having been managed chiefly by local
attorneys, and the State having no particular interest at stake, I
do not consider it necessary to include them in my report.
In reporting the civil and criminal cases, I have considered it
proper to give briefly aonte of tbe points which have been decided
in tbe Supreme Court, with the hope that it may be of some ben-
efit to Connty Attorneys and others — into whose possession this
report will come long prior to the publication of the cases in the

THE MlLmA.
The laws of Lhe United States provide lor the oi^^anisation of
the militia of the several States, even prescribing in detail many
points as to their eqalpment, etc., but in order to render these
laws effective they mast be Bnpplemented by State Legislation.
The laws of the United States (Bevised Statates, sections 1,684,
1,685, 1,696), provide fbrthermore, in sabstance, that ** There shall
be an Adjatant Oeneral appointed 'in each State, whose dot; it
shall be to distribnte orders trora the Commander in Chief, of the
State ; ftimish blank forms and explain them ; receive retams ;
report the aotaal sitnation of arms, equipments, etc., and the state
of discipline ; and also to make returns of the militia of the Stats,
with their arms, accoutrements and ammanition, ^reeable to the

thus appear that, independently of Sute legislation, theAtlJQtant
General is the official medium of conununicatioo between the United
States War Department and the Sute. It is little to the credit of
so important a State as Minnesota, that the annual report of her
military sfiitirs, laid before Congress by the President, shows so
little activity and efficiency. But this state of things is due to the
entire lack of efficient military le^slatlon ; to which lack my pre-

TBE HATIOKAL QDABD.
Our' statutes provide for the organization of the militia ander
the name of the National Guard, but as sucb oi^anlzatio'n is wholly
volantary and almost without inducement, not a Bingle regiment,
or even company, has maintained Its discipline, and it is now dii-
banded and -extinct, with no signs of & revival. Three independ-
ent companies which have been supplied with arms by the State,
are anoffloially known to be in exlstenoe. The terrible and costly
lesson learned by the people at the breaking out of the rebellion,
eeema to have been forgotten. Our exposed frontier poution is
ignored. The direct benefits to our mixed population that would
arise fh>m even a partial system of military discipline, are loot.
We sleep in fancied security, and will doubtless continue to sleqi
nntll awakened by ihe shook of another war, unexpected and un-
provided for.
EMBOLLHBNT OF THE HILmA.
The statute requires that tiie militia of the State (conaiating of
all able-bodied male persons between the ages of 18 and 46 years,
with certain exceptions), sliall be enrolled once in two yean, by
the aeseasors of personal property, when returns shall bo oonsoli-
dated by the county auditors and forwarded to the Adjatant Gen-
eral. The Governor is empowered to suspend this enrollment at
his ^discretion. The enrollment having been snspended several -
years since, has not been taken since Uiat time, and the law is
practically inoperative.
ULrrABT SCHOOLS.
In the absence of needed military training of the citizens, it is
gratifying that at many of our private educational institutions, and
even at the better class of oar common schools, as well as at the
Normal Schools and the State University, the rudiments, and in
some cases more than the rudiments of drill and discipline are
taught. Since this is all we have, we should acknowledge and
encourage it, as our only aasu;-ance that after the veterans of our
zedbyGoOglC

Ute ff&r shall h&ve passed away, all knowledge of the drill will
not be lost to the mass of our citizens.
The Report of the Arsenal Keeper, on file in my office, for the
year ending Noreniber 80, 187K, shows the operations of the Ord-
nance Department of the State during that period. Three hundred
" breech-loading " rifles, of the new pattern, have been received,
of which one hundred and twenty have been issued to efflcient in-
dependent companies. Five field gODS ; about 650 maskets of all
kinds ; nearly 2,000 sets of accoutrements, and 40,000 musket
cartridges are among the articles on hand in the arsenal and maga-
zine. A considerable number of breeoh-loading riflea are due us
from the United States, which are promised at an early day.

May 28, 1876, my predecessor convened a Board of Survey,
consisting of Oen. R. W. Johnson, Gren. John B. Sanborn, and
myself, with instructions to inspect and report on certun ordnance
and ordnance stores in tbe arsenal. This board reported June 14,
that the following articles were unserviceable, and recommended
that they be sold, viz. : 82 rifie muskets, (contract) ; 218 Austrian
rifies ; 184 muskets, caliber .69 (smooth bores) ; 71 Prussian mus-
kets, caliber .71 ; 274,000 ball cartridges, caliber .69. They were
accordingly sold at public auction, after due advertisement, and
realized the sum of twelve hundred and twenty-six 05-100 dollars,
which was placed in (h^ State Treasury.
THE CRKTEmnU..
I have received from the Centennial Committee at Philadelphia, a
request for information as to how many of our uniformed military
companies will visit the Exhibition. I have referred the matter to
the commanders of the three companies, and there are expressions
of a desire to attend. If the Legislature makes any appropriation
for ' ' Centennial " purposes, the propriety of encouraging a credita-
ble display of our military may properly be coosid'^red.

Tfae rolls and returns of the several companies and regiments of
Minnesota soldiers daring the war, are on file in this office, and
are of great value to the surviving veterans, and the represenbt-
tives of the deceased. Almost daily requests are received for in-
formation from them, to be used by ex-soldiers of Uinnesota, many
of whom now reside in other States, in establishing claims, or se-
curing homestead and other benefits under the numerous and com-
plicated Uwf which have been enacted in their interest. The im-
portance of preserving these I'ecords will be readily apparent.
The Adjutant General's report of 186t> gave an abstract of the
" Pinal Record " of the Minnesota troops, but from ifae haste with
which it was prepared, and the carelessness of its printing, it is
utterly untrustworthy. Its inaccuracy having become apparent, .
the Legislature several 3'ears since provided for the compilation of
a new record. The work was prosecuted faitbfhlly, and the record
BO far as completed, is, 1 believe, as accurate as it can possibly be
made. But the appropriation was exhausted when about one-
I'ourth remained to be done, and the' work baa been pnspendcd. I
would respectfully recommend the appropriation of a sum suffi-
cient to complete it, and on its completion tbe manuscript volume
may be deposited in one of the fire-proof vaults of the capitol UDtil
such time as the people of the State feel able to print it — and tbaa
the irreparable disaster which would now result fVom the destruc-
tion of the records of this office by fire would be in a measure
averted. Tlie surviving soldiers of the Minnesota regiments cer-
tainly have a right to demand that the records of their bonormble
service, of which they are so justly proud, and which, moreover,
are, and have been, and will continue to be, of great pecuniaiy
value to them, shall not longer be left exposed to the imroineot
risk of destruction. which now^ threatens them.

SOLDIERS' ORPHANS.
Od behalf of the Board of Trustees of Soldiers' Orphans of Hin-
aasota, the following report of its transaotiona daring the year
ending November 30, 1675, is respectAilly submitted.
irOBK or TtfZ BOABD.
Afl haa been explained in previona reports, Uiis Board is charged
with the dnty of disbursing the appropriations of the State for the
maintenance of tbe Soldiers' Orphans tbrongh two channels, that
of the Home at Winona, and that of temporary aid to children living
with widowed mothers who are partially able to anpport them.
Tbeae duties are of late somewhat complicated, and rendered
more laborious to the Board, though at a saving of expenae to the
State, by tbe necessity of partially providing, in individnal cases,
for a limited period, for some of the orphans discharged fVom the
home before arriving at the age of 18, and placed in positions where
they are learning occupations which will very soon render them self-
sapporting. A statement of these is submitted below.
TBE orphans' HOHE.
The Orphans' Home is established at Winona, a local associa-
tion of ladles and gentlemen having charge of the details of its
administration. To this association the State Beard pays on
monthly certified rolls four dollars a week for the maintenance of
each child. This compensation is in full of all expenses, clothing
food, education, books, rent of building, medical attendance, every-
thing. Without disparaging other institutions, we willingly place
the Soldiers' Orplyins' Home in comparison with them as to expend-
itures. And yet through the admirable workings of the system of
enlieting local Interest and aid, this small expenditure is made ample
for all the neceasities of the inmates. Our board maintains a strict
snperviaion of the administration at tlie Home, meeting semi-
zed byCoOglc

annually at iWinona, and vieiting ttie Home occasionally on nnan-
noanced tours of inspection. It is a pleasure to say that we hare
always found occasion to commend almost every detail, and very
little even to suggest by way of improvement. The children are well
sheltered in a new and comfortably furnished building ; their food
is varied, wholesome and abundant ; their clothing is-equal to the
average of that of their associates in school. Their conduct and
discipline is satisfactory, the inevitable frictions of so large a
family being smoothed by the tact and firmness of* the matron, aided
by the general good impulses of the children, and their appreciation
of the benefits they are receiving. They are being well educated in
the difiSerent departments of the First State Normal School, (see
report of Prof. Fbelp0, Principal of that Institution, herewith) near
which the Home is located ; and their religious instruction is given
by the churches and sabbath schools secflected by the mothers or
guardians who placed them in our hands. For fhrther details refer-
ence is made to the reports of Major Goald, Prof. Pbelps and Dr.
HcGaughey, herewith tran emitted.
:.L OF THE HOMB.
As a matter of interest, and for the information of the Legiala-
tnre, we append a muster roll of the inmates of the Home, Sep-
tember 80, 1875 (Ihe close of the year for the institution, and to
which date, it will be noticed, the reports of the local officers are
brought down.) It will be seen that the present number of chil-
dren is seventy-four — a decrease of 11 during the year, and that
the oldest is now seventeen and the youngest 10 years of age.

DtSCHASQES FROU THE HOME.
As was ftDiicipated in last report, the discharges from the Home
duridg the year have so far exceeded the admissiODS as to leave a
net reduction of eleven Id the number or inmates. A portion of
those discharged are acquinng a knonledge of trades or professions
that will render tbeni useful ciiizens, vbile the remainder have bc^n
reclaimed by their mothers, nhoae improved ci reams tun ces enable
them to provide support, and to whose tender care they may safely
be entrusted. When brought to consider this question of dis-
ohai^es, the members of the Board first began fully to realize the
weight of their responsibility. Each individual case mnst be care-
fully considered — the attainments, capacity, disposition, tastea,
inclinations of the child, and its adaptability to the position open.
A mistake would be disastrous, and carelessness would be criminal.
Our closest attention and best Judgment has been given to each
case, and the results have vindicated that Judgment to a gratifying
degree.
PDTDBB ADHISSIOMB.
The Board has acted on the theory that the tax-payers expect its
work to be closed up at aa early a day as is eoosistent with a dae
discharge of the incalculable debt we owe to these children of the
men who died for the Bepublic. Accordingly, since as with each
succeeding year the children who had not sought admiasion-to ^e
Borne were getting nearer an age capable of self-support, while
their introduction therein, with their now firmly fixed habits, was
detrimental to its established discipline, we have been disposed
each year to establish stronger tests of admission, until w* have
now reached the point that we require exceptionally good reasons
for opening our doors. We Still have many applications, but they
seem, on investigation, to oome principally from three classes —
children whose mothers have remarried, and whose step>fatfaera,
though able to support them, would prefer to shift the burden on
the State ; children, often as young as three or JiTV years, whose
fathers have died since the war, from causes more or less directly
traceable to their army service ; and children of such nngovernabls
depravity that their mothers or guardians desire as to take them
for the pucpOBu of reformation. We feel that a due regard for the
administration of our sacred trust prohibits us IVom receiving sucb
as these — and unless required to do so, by some positive expreasion
of the Legislature, we shall consider our policy approved.

IN THE SZFORH SCHOOL.
Poor of our boys wbo before coming to us had formed bad hab-
its, which, after long and patient trial, we fonnd incurable by any
means of discipline at onr command, have been sent to the Reform
School at St. P^ul. We pay for their maintenance out of the fund
at our disposal, and keep informed of their progress, etc. We are
glad to know that under the stronger arm of authority wielded
there, their prospects are improving. It is creditable to the sol-
diers' orphans, that out of probably one hundred and fifty who
have been inmates of the Home, only four have failed to yield to
its mild family discipline.
OtrrSIDE RELIEF.
The relief extended to orphans residing with their mothers in
different parts of the State has been continued under increasingly
strict aarvelliance, and its aggregate amount will be found below, in
no case baa more than $25 for each child during the year been
given, and in all cases we are sure the help has been worthily
bestowed.
EXPENSES OF URIIBEBS.
The members of the Board serve without pay, and thehr traveling
expenses, postage, Ac, paid from the fund as given below, will not,
we think, be deemed excessive.
CERTinOATE OF DJSCHAROB.
The engraved nertificate of discharge anthorized by law in 1874,
has been procured and delivereil to those entitled to it, and it
will hereafter be given to all who shall be honorably discharged
from the Home. Its cost for engraving and printing was ninety

To the Board of Trutleea of Soldier$' OrphanB:
GmTLBMBN : — The " Soldiers' Orphana' Home of Minnesota,"
presents its Fifth Aminal Report, at the same time congratulating
itself, your honorable body, and the good people of the Stats, upon
its prosperity and the physical, mental and moral welfare of its
ehildren.
As predicted in uar last report, the number of inmates has
decreased since that time, and a further reduction during the ensa-
ing year may be reasonably anticipated. With less nnmbera comes
greater efficiency in the control and education of those remaining,
thongh at greater expense per eapita.
We had eighty-flre children last year at this time. Ten have
since been admitted tjizteen have been dischai^ed. One (Albert
Pence) died, and one boy deserted soon after his admission. So
that we now have on the rolls seventy-seven. Of these latter three
are absent with leave and about to be discharged, leaving seventy-
foar actually at the Home, tliirtj-seven of each sex.
No change has occurred in the management of the Institution
during the year, either as to its officers or the manner of conducting
its affairs. These are so fiiUy set forth in our report of two years
^o that it seems unnecessary to state them now.
Mrs. Eemp^n, as Matron, vindicates her peculiar fitness for the
poaition more and more with the lapse of time, and together with
ber assistant, Mrs. Claghom, merits the renewed thanks of the in-
mates and officers of the institution.
The educational and saniUury condition of the Home will be
shown by the accompanying reports of Prof. Phelps and Dr.

EEPOKT OF SUKGEON OF HOME.
To tkt Board of TnuUet of Soldiers' Orphan* ofMinnetota:
Tfa« inmatea of the " Home" during the year ending September
80, 1875, enjoyed good health the greater portion of the time am-
braced in this report.
The epidemic of Opthalmia, which bad prevailed toward the close
of laat jear, completely sabsided within one month ftom date of
last report ; eince which time foor casea have occarted at irregnlar
intervals ; none of these were severe.
In the winter of 1874-5 a few cases of Bronchitis and Pneomo-
nia were produced, bat they were of mild type, and oonTalescenoe
was speedily established.
The only severe illness that appeared in the following spring wag
that of Albert Fence, aged 15 years, who died on the 11 day of
April, 1875, of inflammation of the brain, following abcess of the
ear, disease proving fatal within five days fVom date of attack.
He displayed remarkable natural abilities for one so yonng ; was
noiversally beloved by bla comrades for his many excellent qnal-
ities, and his death was deeply regretted by all who knew him.
On the 24 day of April, John Hennesey, while attending a picnic
on the bluffs near the city, fell from one ledge of rocks to another,
snatainlng a compound fracture of ooter table of frontal bone, and
severe contnsions of face. He was oonveyed home and his wounds
dressed ; a high grade of inflammation followed, after which pieces
of bone became detached and were tlux>wii ofl^. Recovery event-
nally resulted, with slight deformity.
Is the oases last mentioned I bad valuable aid and counsel from
Drs. F. Staples and A. B. Stewart, of this city.
The immunity from intestinal diseases during the snmmer months
was doubtless owing to the good quality of the food furnished, and
the ftvorable hygienic condition of the building and its surround-
ings.

All who have ha^ an opportunity to note the progress of tbese
children ^om their adtnUaion to the Home to the present time, have
abundant cause for gratitude and rejoicing at the results to which
their actual condition now bears witness. Many who came to as
but a few years since as little children, in the previous enjoyment of
the most scanty means for social, moral and intellectual culture, are
to day affording the moat gratifying proofs of the possession of
every manly and womanly virtue, and of a good preparation for a
life of honor and usefiilnesa. Tli&nks to the beneficient influences of
the Home,.and (he school in which, dnrisg their tender years, they
have been carefully traioed and nurtured, the State may look with
■atisfoction upon a noble work thus far conscientiously, fbithflilly
and' worthily performed.
Th4 undersigned has heretofore suggested that in strict Justice to
these ehildrcn, as well as inobedienceto a wise public policy, such of
them as show the proper degree of aptitude for the work, should be
allowed to remain both at the Home and the school until they bhall
graduate as teachers, and he placed in a useful and self-eupporting
position. This policy is especially to be urged as applicable to
the females, who are naturally more dependent than the opposite
sex, while they are conceded to possess a special aptitude for the
duties of the teacher.
Should this plan be pursued, it may be fairly estimated that by
the close of the next year from eight to ten of the orphans will .
have been thus prepared and sent forth to discharge the duties of a
noble and useful calling.
It is a fact worthy of notice, also, that several of the boys who
have been employed during the past year in some of our banking
and commercial establishmentB, have given the highest satis faction.
As a manifest result of their discipline asd training, they are char-
acterized by promptness, obedience, industry and fidelity, as well
as intelligence in the discbarge of their duties. It may be
safely affirmed that the children of the Orphans' Home will com-
pare favorably as to Intelligence, good conduct and character,
with any eqnal number to be found, even among the more highly
favored classes. They affoid as a whole a most instructive illus-
tration of what can be accomplished by good school and home infla-

ances in the fonnatloD of character. That their fhttire lives will
amply joatiiy the wisclom of the proTision which haa been made for
their inatraction and maintenance there is no good reaaon to donbtt
for aa effects are certain to follow their cansea, eo a noble manhood
and womanhood are sore to resalt form the persistent application
of right Inflaencee during the anaoeptible period of childhood and

STATE CLAIM AGENCY.
The Uws, (Gen. Laws 1673, page 234,) make it " the daty of the
Adjntut General of this State, to act as claim agent for all persona
haying olainu i^ainst the government of the United States, for pen-
lioiis, bounty, or back pay, when saoh claims have arisen out of, or
by reaeon of the late war ; and he shall prosecute such claims withont
pay or compensation from the party seeking such pension, bounty
or back pay." This system was originally adopted in this State in
1^65, and has been of incalculable advantage to the ex-soldiers, and
the relatives of the deceased, as will be seen by reference to the
Btatements hereinafter given. These numerous olaims have been
proaeoQted at a small expense to the State — but a Iraction of what
the legitimate and well>e&rned fees of Attorneys would have been,
to say nothing of the extortions t^ unpriucipled agents, and thus
the ftall amount of the pay or pension, which at best is but a pit-
tance, has been placed in the hands of the recipient. The statlstioa
show that the work is by no means finished. Very many old claims
remain yet unadjusted, owing to the slowness of the Departments
at Washington in reaching them, and- the slowness of claimants in
supplying evidence called for. And many new claims are annually
presented, the annual amendments by Congress to existing laws
opening the door to many fVesh esses.
COMTINDUIOB OF '^K PLAH.
I make no argument for the continuance of llie woi^ of tiiis de-
partment of the oflSce. Tlie facts show a necessity of that contin-
uance, if the obligation of the State to her soldiers is still reoognized.
' There are probably over thirty thousand ex-«oldiers living in Hin-
nesota to>day, over one-half of whom served in regiments from other
States, and have been largely drawn hither by the extra induce-
ments offered them as settlers on the public lands. They abure In
the benefits of this work, and it is proper that they should. They

' fought, not for New York, or Ohio, or Illinois, but for the whole
country — Minnesota included, and Hinuesota owea as muoh to them'
aa to her own gallant sons. They are now oitizens and taz-[>ayerB,
but are strHggling with the hardships of frontier life, and, as well
aa the men. who enliBted from Minnesota, moat gratefully appreciate
the favor of the State in this regard. Whenever the number of
claims presented or pending ceasua to be sufflcient to Justify the cost,
the work ahonld stop. Otherwise it must continue, until Uie State
ceaaes to feel its obligation to perform it.
VrOBK OF THB AQBKCT.
By an inspection of the tables below, it will bo seen that the total
colleotions af the i^^ency during the eleven yeara of Ita existence is
$497,016.91. But this gives an inadequate idea of the money value
of the oolleotioDB, since in the oase of penaiona only the amount
ao<»rDed at date of receipt of certificate is counted, while the trae
method is to capitalise the certificate at its income-producing value.
On this basis, Lhe penaion certificates, producing on an average one
hundred dollars a year each as income, are worth to their owners
an average of one thousand dollars each. Hence the money v^ne
of the 981 pension certificates procured during eleven years is nearly
0N< million doHars, while our atatement places tbefa at only a little
over tl50,000. ,
WORK DUBIMQ THE PAKI TXAB.
The tables show a slight decrease in the number of claims filed
during the year 1875, but a very large increase in the number col-
lected, and a considerable increase in the amount collected. Thia
amount, on the old basis of calculation, is 116,221 00, but on the
true basis, above indicated, is 179,052 72. The work done on re-
jected and unfinished claims, old and new, is, of course, greater
than on those collected. In addition to this, hundreds of letters of
inquiry Irom aoldiers concerning penaion and bounty laws have
been answered ; certificates of service have been flirnished ; ad-
dresses of officers have been given to Minnesota soldiers now resi-
ding tn other States ; and written or verbal information has been
givoi upon every conceivable matter relating to our work. All
this has been done without a dollar of expense to individuals inter-
eated. Hie labor of prosecuting claims has been of late greatly
Increased by the increasing strictness of tests applied by the de-
partments at Washington. This is doubtless made necessary by the

Ispee of time ; nd since it l» ao part of the doty of this office to
praMnt fraodnlant cl&ims, we bftve no right to oomplain.
1B» MEW CLAIIU.
Surprise is frequently expressed that bo many new olaims an
being presented at this late day. The experience of this office
shows that very many very clear cases of persons deserving pensions
have I>een withheld ftvm the not very worldly-wise but certainly
patriotic and honorable feeling on the part of the ex-soldier, ^at
being able to earn a enbaietence in spite of his disability, he would
not call on " Uncle Sam" for help until obliged to. But a change
of oiroamstances or an increase of the disability, or the advice of
more " ifrndent" friends constrains bim at length to ^ply. This
motive mastbehonored,and the claimant has certainly not forfeited
bnt has rather increased his rights, by so long reflraining from de-
manding them. There are andonbtedly many names on the pension
roll which have no right there, but on the other hand there are
many Justly entitled to a place who have never sought it, and the
government saves large sums every year by this generous forbear-
anoe of some of her best and bravest sons.
PBOSFXOnVX LZaiBLi.TION.
The bill for the equalization of bounties, which having passed
ttiTongh the last Congress, was only defeated by the veto of the
President, is a measnrex>f Justice which will yet, in some shape less
detrimental to the financial interests of the country than the plans
heretofore proposed, be riealized. An increase of the allowance to
pensioners of certain classes should be made and andonbtedly will
command the early attention of Congress.

To his EMseOencg, C. K. Davia, Governor of Minneaola:
We have the honor to hereirith Bubmit our report of the oonditioD
of the PrUoD for the fiscal year ending Nov. SOth, 1675.
The number of convicts in the Prison at the dale of our laat re-
port was 134.
The whole number received daring the year was 96, and the num-
ber discharged, during the same period, was 84.
The number in prison, Nov. 80th, 1875, 146.
Average number during the year, 188 5-6.

Total 91^10 60'
The other fbnds have been ftilly expended for the parpoeea for
which they were respectiTely appropriated.
The priaon boilding haa been enlarged by the erection of fifty-two-
additional cells. Iron corridors have taken the place of.tbe woodeD
ones, and a good stone floor has been placed in the cell building.
The worb has been done under the superintendence of A. M. Rad-
liff, architect, and we are satisfied that it is well done. This com-
pletes the cell building in aocordanoe with the reoommendatioaB
made by us one year ago, and it is not contemplated by ttie BoarA
to ash for anything flirther in this direction.
The amoQDt expended out of the contingent fhnd was for the cap-
ture and return of escaped convicts, and we ask that a like amount
be q>propriatcd as a oontlngent fund for the ensuing year.
Under the act lor condemnation of laud for the use of State in-
stitatious, we have caused to be condemned, laud enough to secure
oertain never-failing springs of water, and ground for a cistern to
hold &,000 barrels, as a water supply and protection against fire.
This enterprise has been completed within the appropriation for
that pnrpoee. The cistern Is located on an elevation about 150 feet
higher than the prison grounds, oonneoted with pipes running into
the yard, with hydrants at convenient points, eo that water can be
thrown to any part of the prison buildings at any time, and is the
most perfect protection against fire yet devised.
The Warden's report gives in detail the expenditures and earnings-
of the prison, to which attention Is invited.
It will be seen that all expenditures have been made strictly in
accordance with the laws appropriating thom, and In no case has
the cost of the improvement exceeded the appropriation, while, in
several of the dififerent funds, there remains a balance unexpended
amounting, in the aggregate, to 11,510.60.
Owing to an accident by Are we have t>een obliged to incur an in-
debtedness, for which an appropriation is asked.
The fire destroyed the roof and upper story of the boiler and en-
gine building, leaving the machinery exposed, but fortunately un-
injured. It was imperatively necessary that repairs be at onoe
made. This we caused to be done nnder the supervision of oar ar-

Tbeie Mils hare not been pud as there was no fkind oat of wbieb
-the Board could pay them. We earnestly ask that an appropriation
be made to cover them.
We have &lso been compelled to prOTtde 1,000 feet of hose for
the nse of the State, the old having become rotten and unreliable in
-ease of Are. We have contracted witb J. J. Bandall, of Winona,
fin- 1,000 feet of the New York Bnbber Co.'s best hose, inclnding
-couplings, noszlea, nipples, and 4^6 inch iiose pipes, to be delir-
-ered at Stillwater for the snm of 11,124.40, on 90 days' time, said
wnonot to l)ear interest after 90 days, llie price is low and terms
favorable, and we ask that an appropriation be nude to cover tbia
•mount, or that anthority be given the Board to apply the moneys
temalning unexpended for this purpose.
Steam pipes have been placed in the cell building, and connected
irith the boilers in the engine building, for ttie purpose of heating
with steam.
Plans and estimates were made and submitted to the Legislature,
last winter, showing the desired Improvementa and extension for
tiie prison. All improvements made during the past year have been
In aooordauce with these plans. No appropriation was made, how-
ever, for completing the wall around the prison grounds. The old
board fence still remains a constant invitation to attempts to eso^w.
We ask that an appropriation, Bofflcient, at least, to build the wall
4m one aide of the ground, be made. The estimates for a wall SO
Ibet high on the north side is 116,000.
We also repeat our request for an appropriation to build a laun-
dry and bath-house. The estimates for this improvement is II 2,000.
We call attention to Che necessity of a change in the law in re-
gard to a bouse for the Deputy Warden, llie law compelle him
to reside at the prison, but the State has no suitable place for him
to live, and this <^Soer is obliged to rent a hoose, as Dear as practi-
cable to the prison, tiie rent of which he pays himself. It would
seem that if the Deputy is required to "reside at the prison," the
State should furnish him a suitable residence.
We cordially endorse the suggestions and recommendations made

by the Wuden, and bear teatimony to the efficient and anocessfal
oondnot of the prison under his management.
We refer you to the accompanying reports of the Physician and
Chaplain for a fall aoooant of (he sanitary and moral condition of
the prisoners.
As the nambers increase it becomes more and more evident that
the services of a permanent chaplain and physician, to reside at the
prison, are desirable.

WARDEN OF STATE PBI80N. 37
The past year baa been one of more than ordinary qnlet anti
bamtoDy at the prieon, with few exciting events.
On the afternoon of July IStL, oonvict Leonard Soper made hi«
escape from the yard, where be had been at work. He dodged be-
hind an angle it the fence, which sheltered him trom tbe view of
the guards, when it waa the work of but a moment to cat bis way
ODt with tools previoasty secreted abont bia person. He has not
been recaptured.
Tbe fence was at once straightened, hut is still a poor enbatiluCe
for a inbetantial stone wall, such as should surround the yard, and
without which absolute immunity f^em escapes can never be at-
tained. It has been only by the exercise of the utmost vigilance,
that more seriooe consequences have not occurred from the failure
of tbe 8tate to bnild this wall. I would recommend that an accv-
rale survey and estimate be made for a wall on the north side of
the prieon yard, and that yon aak the Legislature for an approprift-
tion to build at least that much.
Abont four o'clock on the morning of September 22d, flame»
were discovered issuing trotn the taok-ioom, over the boilers, in-
the workshop. By the prompt action of the prieon ofltcers and em-
ployes, the flre was kept in check until the arrival of the olty Sre
coDpaniee, by whose aid and that of citizens generally, it was con-
lined to the room where it origiirated and the adjoining room used'
B« a paint shop, and was alllmately extinguished without damage
to the workshops. When tbe combustible character of tbe material
with which the shops are necessarily filled and the then existing^
bcilities for eztlDgnishing flre are taken into consideration, this oc-
currenoe eanitot M regarded otherwise than as a most miraculous
escape bom a general conflagration.
The earnings of the prison is a matter over which we have bnt
slight control. The receipts for labor during the past year were
$8,278.04 more than for the preceding year, while the total amount
<a earnlnga is only $272.69 more. This small increase arises prin-
cipally ftvm the fact that the earnings for boarding United States
Distriot Court and military prisoners during the post year amount
to only t8,9fi9. 19, while tbe receipts for tbe previous year fVoi»
that source were 16,499.47. The military prisoners, with the ex-
ception of Ave, have been removed to the military prison at Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas, and it is not probable that any additional
ones will be sent here, thus cutting off that source of revenue.
By tbe exercise of tbe strictest economy, tbe expenses of tbe
prison have been kept within the amount of the approprtatitfu, not-
withstanding on additional guard was employed and tbe salaries of
the Physician and Chaplain were increased upon the recommendo'
tioD of the Legislative Committee, after the estimate of current ex-
pense for the past year bad been made up.
"Die expenses are seemingly large for the population of tbe prison^
bnt by referring to tbe summarized statement of current expense,
elsewhere submitted, it will be seen that nearly one-half of the anm
U expended lot sahu^es of officers, fuel and lights. These items
woold be bnt a trifle larger were the population five hundred instead
zedbyGoOglC

of one hundred and fifty. The increase of twpaUtion must, thure- '
fore, gradually bring the prisoa nearer a Belf-sostaining condition.
Desiring to bring my report i^ithin the smallest possible oompasa,
1 have omitted an itemized statement of disbareements. Vouchers
for every dollar disbursed for current expenses are on file in the of-
fice of the State Aaditor, and also in this c^ce.
Hany valuable and permanent improvements have been made
during the past year : Fifly-two addiUonal cells have been built ;
the old wooden oorridors and stairs have been replaced with iron ;
the cell-room floor has been relaid with fl^s, and steam and gas
have been introduced for heating and lighting ; thus, rendering the
building practically fire-proof and more easily kept clean and whole-
some. Pure spring water has also been introduced luto the oeil-
room and cellar kitchen at a slight expense and proves a very great
The reservoir, holding 4,500 barrels of water, has been oomplrted,
and a six-inch water pipe, with fonr hydrants, has been laid throogfa
the yard, between the work-shops and the prison building, from
which eight streams can be thrown simultaneously over the highest
part of the buildings, thus affording a reliable means of extinguish-
ing fires independently of the steam pomp in the engine room oX
the shops. The facilities for extinguishing fires are now so great
and BO quickly and easily put in operation that it seems impossible
for any extensive conflagration to occur. The bell and hose tower
has also been completed, and is not only an omament to the bnild-
ing, but is a safe and convenient store-room for hoae. A new oven
has been placed in the bake-room, which gives complete satiafaction.
The sanitary condition of the prison has been excelleoL No
deaths have occurred dnring the year, and the sickness, of which
there has been very little, has been confined mostly to chronio casea
of long Btanding. For more complete information upon this mat-
ter I would refer you to the report of the Prison Physician.
BecogniziDg the fact that there can be no healtJi without cleanli-
ness, and no prosperity without health, it is our ponstanb endeavor
to keep the prison and its inmates in as clean condition as posailde.
The building contemplated in the plan of the prison, to be used as
A laundry and bath-house, would be a great help in this regard, and
is an urgent want of the institution.
As to the moral and spiritual condition of the prisoners, I wonld
refer you to the report of Bev, J. H. Macomber, Priaon Chaplain,
who has been earnest and faithful in his endeavors to improve them
in this respects. I have reason to believe that his efforts have been
attended with good results. Father JIurphy has also held freqneat
and acceptable services in the prison during the year.
The conduct of the prisoners has been, in the main, good. No
doubt, there has been a very substantial improvement iu this re-
spect, for while the discipline of the prison has not been relaxed, it
liaa been found necessary during the past year, (with an average
population of 168 5-6, to inflict only 142^ days of puniahmeot;
while during the previous year, with an average population of
112.66, the number of days of punishment inflicted was 207f.

kind and fanman* management. TriSing with and abase of prison-
en is atricUy prohibited. If a prisoner violates a rale of the
prison, he is sent to his cell, and the fact reported to this ofBeo ;
when, after a careful examinatioii of the circumstances attending
the offense, he ia dealt with by us directly as the case seems to
demand. Very often a kind word is more potential thaa Revere
puaishment. The State has made very liberal provlsioa to encour -
age those who are deairoaa of doing right, by enabling them^
through good behftTior, to shorten their terms of confinement. The
State haa also made a generooe provision by which they can earn
a anm of money, while liere, with which to assist their destitute
funilteB or aid them in starting again in the world when disohargedr
without necessarily resorting to crime. Certainly one of the chief
aims of an institution of this kind should be the reformation of
those committed to its keeping. The moral nature of an inmate of
a prison cannot be at a standstill during his incarceration ; in thia
reepeot he must either progress or retrograde. Id other words,
when dischai^ed, he goes into the world either a better or worse —
infinitely worse — man, and in the latter case, especially, becomes
i^in a terror to society, an, expense to the State and curse to him-
self and his fHends. If no higher motive ptevaila, the safety of
the community and the economy of the State demands tliat person»
oonvicte<t of crime and committed to prison for the pnnishment
thereof should be reformed as far as possible before they are again
restored to liberty. When thus withdrawn from the influence of
evil associations and deprived of the power to exercise bad habits-
and impulses, their baser passions can be toned down, and the de-
sire to commit crimes greatly weakened. They are very thoroughly
schooled in self-government and often for the first time find them-
selves under the control of a power that compels their turbulent
spirits to yield to wholesome restraint which can hardly fail to have
a salutary influence on their subsequent career. Many, very many,
are here for the commission of crime while in a state of intoxica-
tion or under the influence of liqaor. Here they have ample oppor-
tunity to practice the virtae of temperance and to leaiii, by experi-
ence, that the use of strong drink is necessary neither to their health
or bsppiness.
It is reasonable to suppose that some will permanently reform and
become useful citizens, upon their return to the world Others are-
here who, fortunately for themselves, were apprehended and broaght
to punishmeat for the first offense ; they find to their satisfaction
that " the way of the tran^ressor is hard," and many, no doubt re-
solve to " go and sin no more." There are, cf course, some upon
whom all efforts at reformaUon are in vain. Some are seemingly
predisposed to commit crime; while others have grown old and
hardened in the violation of law and the endeavor to gain a liveli-
hood without labor, or the pursuit of a legitimate occupation. The
reformation of snch, I believe, requires the exercise of a power
higher than that possessed by man.
While it is undoubtedly true that intemperance is the great pro-
moter of crime, I have been very forcibly struck with the fact that
almost all persona oonunitted to this prison while it has been under

my charge have bad no regular occupation or skilled trade ; this is
'best shown by the figures. Out of prisoners sent here duriax the
past year, only very few claimed to be artisans, or in the possession or
any regular means of support, and many of these latter had but >
«light knoirledge of the calling which theyclaimed to pursue. The
pusaessioD of a regular avocation no doubt oonduoea to the forma-
tion of habits of industry and integrity and also gives to the pos-
«ossor a Armor respect for the rights and property of others. He
«ees that property Is gained only by patient labor, and learns to re-
spect its possession. lam firmly convinced, that if parents would
make it a rule to teach their children to labor, and see that they
■Mn taught some useful trade, crime would rapidly diminish, and
their ofi'spring would leas freqaently bring them to ahame and dis-
grace.
In closing this report, 1 desire to tender my thanks to Deputy
Warden Williams for his ever ready co-operation and aid in the
general management of the prison ; to Hr. Frank Chase for the
^cient and satisfactory manner in which he has discharged the
■duties of bookkeeper and usher; to lir. and Mrs. Hall ^ for tbsir

Preaching services have been regatarty maintained on Sabbaths at
9 o'clock i.. U; and it has been very gratifying to witness the close
and earnest attention on the part of the convicts to the presentation
of God's word. We have earnest alnging, led by a good organ.
We have organized a religiooa society called the Prison Christian
AsBOoiation. All those who are endeaToring to live a Cliristisn
life, and also those who are earnestly desiring so to do, are permitted
to come Into the meeting of this association. These meetings are

be obedient to those wbo are properly in authority over us.

general dispoaitioa od the part of the prisoners to render oheertni
obedience. While they ocknoitledge iVarden Beed to be a strict
disciplinarian, he, at the aame time, has the high esteem of all com-
mitted to his charge, as he gives evidence of a large and hamane
heart in his constant endeavors to promote their well-being, both
physical and moral.
It is a pleasant part of my duty to visit each man at bis cell,
shake hands and pass a fevr words, qnote now and then a passage
of Scripture, and distribute religious papers and tracts, and urge
them to reformation.
It has been my privilege to witness many tears, and to receive
many warm pressures of the hand on the part of those addressed at
such times, as they have freely acknowledged their sin, and in Uirsi
have received a word of exhortation and encouragement.
While there are some men here who are professionals in crime,
for whom we can have but a faint hope of their permanent reform-
ation, there are a great many more who are young and have known
comparatively liitle of the world, bnt have been well raised and
have honorable parents — on going ont from home have fallen into
temptation and are here for th* first crime committed in their lives.
Others are here who have been allowed to grow up in ignonuoe,
and were a very easy prey to the tempter. Still others are here
who, in other years, have been in good ciroumstaDces, but by some
misfortune have lost their property, and in the hour of dejection,
have given way to the tempter, and to the great grief of their aonlt,
have landed in prison. Among these classes we have a hopefhl
field. In the great majority of oases, these men claim thatitis*
(directly or indirectly,) through the influence of the terribly " ntsi
Jlend " thai they are here.
I wish to say that some of the most pleasant momenta of my ex-
perience daring the year have been realized in connection with my
efforts to encourage these unfortunate men to reform and U> become
Cluristians. And I find my love for the work on the increase. I
only regret that I have not more time to devote to it. Having
charge, as I do, of a church in the city, as its preacher and pastor,
my time and strength must of necessity l>e divided.
The importance of the Ciiaplain's work seems to me to be so
great, that it ia my honest conviction thsX he should be grantod a
fair support in the way of salary, so that he might devote all lui
time and energies to it, as they do in other prisons. Then tie ooald
have a general snpervision of the library, hold Bible schools, and
also have charge of a secular school, in which many might obtain
Uie rudimente of au education, and be belter prepared for usenil-
oest when they go out.
I am much pleased with the disposition manifested on the part of
many to learn and to read. Very many are obtaining a great
amount of good information, by reading the books furnished them
ttom the prison library, and many of them read more or less in
their Bibles every day. When we can get men to read, they will
think, and there is hope In their oaae.
In closing my report, I wish to acknowledge my obligations to

PHYSICIAN'S REPORT.
MnmsBorA Statk Pbison, )
Stillwatxb, Nov., 80, 1875. f
To the Hon. Warden and Board of Inapectora :
Gbntleken: — Permit me herewith to hand you my report for the
year ending Nov. 30, 1875.
Tod will, I am certain, find canae for congratulation upon the
marked advance and improvement in the sanitary as well as otber
departmeDts of the prison. In the first place you will percieve that
the prisoners have been singularly exempt from any endemic or
epidemic disease, even such as have occured in private practice out-
side.
So for, the prisoners have shown no indication of Goncamination
or the effects of local or distributed disease of any form.
The fact that men of that character which places them where they
now are, are in a great man}' instances, the victims of various forms ,
of excess, accounts for a large part of the sick list. Constitutional
aud specific diseases require almost constant treatment. So far, it
bsB been my good fortune to cure or repress most serious manifesta-
tions and to supply the duty-list to a degree that seemed impossible
at the start.
To the earnest endorsement of my efforts by the Prison Warden
and his subordinate officers I am indebted beyond all power of cor-
rect expression. Further along these facts explain themselves.
In considering the list of diseases herewith appended, I would
call attention to the fact that for a considerable portion of the time
repairs have been going on in the elevation of a part of the prison
building, which Left the men in that part exposed, in a greater or
less degree, to atmospheric changes. Though considerably more
than necessary ventilation was thus afforded, there has been but lit-
tle increase in sickness ; less, eertatnly, than would have been look-
ed for. None know better than medical men the result of atmos-
pheric changes upon men afflicted with specific disease. The pe-
ouliar variations of temperature marking our previous aommer have

WAXDm or 8TATB FEISOR. 85
■bown tbenuelTfis, to & certain degree, particatarly Id syphilitic
rtieiimatiam. That no worse resnltE have ensded are due to the
anfailing and anremitting zeal aad eaergy displayed by the Warden
and his Depnty and assistants generally. Let me hsre say that
tboogh, as physician, I have heartily endeavored to «lo my duty,
yet, withOQt the cordial and sympathetic aid flimlshed me by the
presiding officers of the prison my endeavors would have been, to a
great measnre, negatived.
Id regard to idiopathic diseases, the list will show that they have
been comparatively few in extent; what there has been, by close
watching and attendance, were kept in bonds. To the Honorable
Board of Inspectors, I desire to acknowledge my indebtedness for
the furtherance of all reasonable requests for assistanoe in the san-
itary reqairements of the prison. Again, to the members of the
State Board of Health, it is no less a duty than a pleasure to ac-
knowledge the benefits due for their kindly and courteous sugges-
tioDB which have in no case failed to prove their value, and to de-
monstrate, in effect, their necessity.
To the Warden is attached, In the highest degree, credit for his
personal and immediate efforts in seconding the application for a
new and perfect supply of the purest and only respectable supply
of drinking water so far ever afforded the oonricts.
Personal cleanliness has been rigidly enforced by tjhe Warden's
orders.
The food furnished has beeo of uniform and excellent quality,
and its preparation by the Steward and his ezoellent wife, (Mr. and
Mrs. Hail,) all that could be wished for, and I desire to return
thanks to both for their uniform courtesy and attention to the wants
of those patients immediately under my care, as well as to myself
individually, as an officer of the prison.
The Chaplain, Mr. Macomber, and the visiting eleigy — Bev. Fa-
Uier Murphy and others, are entitled to great praise for the benefl
cial care and influence exerted on behalf of the unfortunates con-
fined in the prison. Every pfaysician appreciates the value of moral
teaching under such conditions as exist in au institution of this
kind. It is an important adjunct to his own success.
The Board of Health suggest the use of zinc buckets in place of
wooden ones. I concur moat heartily in the suggestion. I here-
with present detailed report of sick, etc.
Finally, let me call your attention to the fact, in lieu of 93 pris*
ooera at the end of last fiscal year the amount has fiuctuated be-
tween that number and 150, since. Ton will percieve that my sick
average, to-day, is little more than one-half of that embraced in the
year previous, over which I had the honor of partial supervision.

To Si» EceceUency, Governor Ouahman K. Davis; and to the Hon-
orable, the Legislalure of the Slate of Minnesota :
The Managers and Superintendent of the Minnesota State Befo^m
School, hereby present this their Niotb AdduhI Report.
We acknowledge with gratitade to God, the great blessing of
«ninterrnpted health of the inmates and employees thronghont the
year. We have hod do sickness.
One boy was committed on a charge of larceny who had been an
Invalid all bis life, afflicted with asthma and heart disease ; he was
flo fflfble that he could not perform any labor, aor come under the
discipline of the school. When. he had been a few weeks in the
institotion, and we saw that he was a subject, fit only for a hospital,
or a mother's core, we wrote to his parents and requested them to
remove him. But they did not think it best. Soon after the boy
died of heart disease. His remains were taken charge of by his
parents and bnried in the cemetery of East Minneapolis.
The work entrusted to onr care hu been pursued as in former
years and with the same encouraging results.
As the years pass the boys who have been inmates of the institu-
tion and honorably discharged, become young men, commanding
the coofldenoe and respect due to a life of honest industry ; we see
more and more the salutary effects of onr care and training, and
are more deeply impressed with the sense of the importance of tbe
peculiar work intrusted to the State Reform School.
DISCIPLIXE.
From the first tbe institntion has l>een under subatantially the

Bftme mftnagement, snd mKiifiged apon the same flmdamental prin-
ciple.
That principle iu that every child, in order to his proper devet-
opement, phyaically, mentally and morally, needs the inflaence and
diaoipltne of a well ordered home ; and this mnst be to him as much
of a home and aa mach like a family as it is possible to make it.
There is no difference. In kind, between the management and
bringing np of ten children or a hundred. The same rules of dis-
cipline vill apply in the one case as in the other ; there are more
dispositions to study ; a greater amount of responsibility, and
Taatly more patience and labor required in the latter case than in
the former ; in all other respects the work ia the same.
KDHBBB or nniATBS.
There baa been bat a slight increase in the number of inmates
since a year ago. The discharges have about kept pace with the
commitments. If this indicates a decrease in the number of delin-
queat youth in the State, it is matter of congratulation. We
cannot, howerer, attribute it wholly to this canae. The impedi-
ments in the way of securing the commitment of " incorrigible
youth" to the Beform School, are so groat, that some, at least, who
are suffering for these privileges, and whose future welfare, as well
as the public good, would be promoted by their temporary confine-
ment here, are kept out.
COUNTI COUICISSIOMEBa.
We beg leave respectfully, to call the attention of your Excel-
lency, and of the Legislature, to the fact, that the County Commie-
aioners of each county, are the ultimate authority for tlie commit-
ment of an incorrigible boy or girl.
This, if it stood alone, and each case had to be decided upon its
intrinsic merits, might not be objectionable, but might serve as a
protection against improper commitmiinta ; but when taken in con-
nection with the further fact that each county ts pecuniarily respon-
sible to the State for the clothing, maintenance and instruction of
the inmates sent from it, the motive to prevent becomes unduly
potent. ,
We cannot see the Justice of taxing each coanty for the support
of its juvenile criminals any more than for the support of its adult
criminals. Those sent to the State prison are supported by the
zedbyGoOgle
BBTOHU eOHOOI,. 5
State; many are sent to the Reform School for ofibDoes that would,
but for their youth, send them to the penitentiary.
The ]aw very properly provides, " That whenever any infant
anderthe age of sixteen years, shall have been convicted in any
of the courts of this State, of any crime punishable by imprison-
ment, except of the crime of murder, it shall be the duty of the
m^istrate, before whom such conviction Is had, to commit the said
infant to the guardianship of the Managers of the Minnesota State
Beform Sobool." Why, then, should the county in which such con-
viction is had, and such humane sentence passed, be made to pa;
the expense of this exercise of hamanity on the part of the State ?
We respectfully submit whether the State Beform School has not
earned a right to be placed upon the same footing as to the source
of its support, as the other State charitable institutions. And hav-
ing been appointed to manage this institution for the State, we
•claim to have given to it more thought and attention than would
naturally be given to it by those who have not this personal respon-
sibility in the matter. Hence, we give it as oar Judffment, that it
would greatly promote the usefulness, and facilitate the management
of the Beform School, to relieve it from the necessity of the inter-
ference of every county that may happen to have inmates in the
institution.
WHAT HAS THE INSnTDTlOH DOME?
Of the 280 youths who have had the benefits of its training, 171
■have gone oat into the world, either to the care of their fi'iends, or
to make their own way in life, and by their conduct to prove to the
-community the fruits of the training they have received, whether
beneficial or otherwise. We are happy to know that their record,
as a whole, is alike honorable to themselves and to the Beform
School.
With but a few exceptions these boys and young men give good
evidence that the training furnished them by the State, in this in-
stitution has not been in vain. We cannot claim that all who have
left the school are conducting themselves as we oonld wish ; we
know of three or four, out of tliis 171, who have been arretted for
disorderly or criminal conduct.
But these exceptions are not of the number of those who have
been cordially diechai^ed upon their own merits. Tbeir dischai^
was procured by the persistent importunities of their friends ;
backed up witii petitions numerously signed, often by prominent
4nd inflnential citizens ; sometimes the complaining witness, the offl*

cerB uid coarts that were instnunental in their comtnitmetit, ue
foand on such petitions for the discharge of snoh inmatei. Thus
an almost irresistible pressare is brought to bear, and boys are
fiirloughed whose best interests would be promoted by their longer
detention in the institntion.
The greatest kindness men can do to a boy whose bad condnob
has brought him to the Reform School, is to let him ramain there
until those who have him in charge and are laboring for his refor-
mation, are satisfied that he is prepared to be discharged.
Not nnfrequently strenaoas efforts are made by county boards to
get boys out of the Reform School, simply to save the expense of
their support. We beg these gentlemen to estimate if they can,
the value in doUara and cents, to the connty and State, of making
a good citizen out of a bad and almost ruined boy 1
DOKS TT PAT TBI COUMTIKS TO OBT HOYS OUT BBFOKB THET ARE RK-
We cite two of the cases above alluded to. One 16 years of age
was sent to the institution. After be had been there four months,
his release was procured in answer to a petition signed by officials
of the city and county from which he came and by officers of the
court. Since his release he has been frequently arrested and Im-
prisoned; recetttly after a protracted confinement in the county
Jail he has been tried by the district court and found gailty of
larceny.
The other, whose discharge was urged to save expense to the
county, went home to his county, where he was arrested for horse*
stealing, awaited his trial in the county Jail for Beveral months,
subjected the county to the expense of a trial in court, and bis
transportation to Stillwater, where he is serving a term in the peni-
tentiary. We believe that these two boys would have been saved,
if they had been left to the regular course of the Reform School.
We have had boys committed for larceny nnd incorrigibility ; Uiey
came to us ragged, filthy, ignorant and vicious. They were washed,
clothed, put to school and to work ; their training careftilly looked
after ; they Improve wonderftilly ; their friends come to see them,
perhaps inside of a year ; and after congratulating them on th«r
improvement, all at once it occurs to them that a great injustice is-
being done in keeping the boy a whole year or more in school, for

We cannot better conrey an idea of the means need to train and
refbrm the jontb committed to our care, than by drawing a word
picture of a single day's work at the Reform School.
At six o'clock In the morning, the risiiig bell rings. Boys rieo
immediately, dress themselves and make their beds ; they then fall
into line and march in military order to the wash-room ; wash and
comb; no conversation is permitted during these duties. They
again fall into line and pass to the school rooms ; here they Join in
singiDg a few verses ; the officer in charge reads a portion of Scrip-
ture, then all rise, and standing repeat, in concert, the Lord's
Prayer. Again they fall into line and pass quietly to the dining hall
where breaki^t is in waiting ; all sit down at the same time, and
eat their breakfast in an orderly and quiet manner, in the presence
of an officer, who sees that each is saitably provided for, and that
proper decorum is observed.
Breakfast over, all pass in the same order to the wash-room,
where they stand in line until the detail for the forenoon is made.
Half of the boys are sent out to their respective school-rooms,
where they are met by their teachers, and proceed at once to the
duties of the school ; the shop boys are sent out, under the care of
the ioremen of the shops, to their respective places of work ; the
rest are detailed to the various branches of domestic and out-door

WATBB I WATER ! !
The State Board of Health, having, a year ago made an exami'
nation of the water in the wells near the buildings, pronounced it
nnflt for drinking, &o. In pursuance of this fact, we respectfully
suggested to the laat legislature the necessity of an appropriation
necessary to provide a supply fVom a deeper source. While the
committee of the legislature to whom tbe subject was referred re-
commended the appropriation, it was thought by the members beet
to delay granting the necessary relief on' account of the low state
of Hinds in the State treasury.
Since then our whole dependence for water has been upon a well
500 feet from the buildings. This well is but 38 feet deep, and in
^ dry time the water in it sinks to some extent. The fountain of
these wells is the chain of small marshes that surround the Reform
School grounds on two sides, and they are gradually drying up
from year to year. This is caused not alone by evaporation, but
also by drainage constantly going on with the progress of improve-
ment in the surrounding territory.
The water is pumped IWim this well by a wi nd-mill , and in order
to store up a sapply, when tbe wind is blowing, sufflcient to last
throogh calm days, we have erected a tank that will hold 400 bar-
rela. This tank is high enough to throw the water into alt the
buildings, and is large enough to serve as a reservoir into which to
pomp water when the State shall have provided us with a deeper
well.
From experiments which have been made in the city of Miuneap-
olis, it is tboQght to be demonstrated that at the depth of not more
than 800 feet, an inexhaustible supply of water for pumping can be
obtained; the cost of a well this deep, with the necessary tubing and
pomp, w« think would not exceed t.1,000. In view of the great ne.
cessity for a sufficient snpply of water, which must be apparent to
every one, we most reapectnilly urge upon the present Legislature
tbe importance of this appropriation.
BOTS IMD OIRLS WHO ABK HOT PBOFKB (
Onr attention has been called by the Secretary of the State Board
zedbyGoOgle
14 ANNUA]^ BEPOBT.
of Healtb, to tbe necessity of calltog attention to the wants of those
weak minded children who are not thought to be fit aubjeots, either
for the Hospital for the Insane or for the Reform School. While
our observation would not warrant ub in recommending, at present,
any separate instltntion for this class of anfortunates, we would b^
leave to suggest that the needs of this class may be sufficiently
met in existing inslitutions without any additional expense to the
£tate.
The best reason we can give for this opinion will appear in the
Bubjoined notice of the cases that have come under our care.
1, A boy who had been subject to fits from a very early age,
was committed to the Reform School. He was an iumate for five
years. No treatment given him by tbe physicians in atteadanoe
afforded any permanent relief. He grew gradually worse, and his
mind perceptibly gave way fVom year to year, until at last he heoame
imbecile, and at times insane. As it was no longer possible to keep
him with tbe other boys ; he was adjudged insane and with the
usual authority, sent to tlie hospital at St. Peter. The aathorities
«f that institution would not receive him, and the officer retonied
him to OS. He was subsequently taken charge of by the oommia-
flioners of the county to which he belonged and placed on the Poor
Farm, where he still remains.
2, For four years past we have bad in tbe school a boy subject
to epileptic fits ; the attacks id this case have nevu- been so tn-
i]uent as in the case of Uie first mentioned, but they are much more
Bcvere. This boy has improved in both mind and body ; Uie attacks
are less n-equ^nt, occurring not more than once in three months
during the past year.
If these two conid have been placed in the Hospital for Inaane,
all the wants of the Reform School in this direction would have
been met.
If such cases can be benefited by medical treatment, it is mani-
festly proper that they should be placed where snch treatment can
be had.
For tbe sake of other children in the Institution, it is important
to exclude from the Reform Schools epileptics. The (error excited
to the minds of some nervous children, at seeing one tail in an
epileptic fit, is painful to witneas, and in some cases almost throws
others into apaams. We hare known some to faint away at the
Bight.
8. We have had three cases of boys only a amall remove fVom
idio<^, two of them had mind enough to learn to read, very imper-

f«ctly ; tbe other, now in the Initttation, cannot learn a single letter
of the alphabet ^ if yon attempt to teaeb him he will at once com-
mence to cry. Bui be has mind enough to comprehend common
labor ; and at most work in the garden and on the farm he does
well. He cannot be subjected to the strict discipline of boys of
sonnd minds, but a smile and a Icind word makes him moat happy
and anxions to please. As a class, lliese boys of weak minds, hnt
healthy bodies, with kind and patient treatment are not very troa-
blesome. They have all greatly improved, and we have been glad
of the privilege of doing for these poor unfortunates, even the little
we have been able to do, to make their lives brighter.
1. The only other case tc which we can call attention, was that
of a boy with a congenital malformation of the chest, who had been
tbe most piUable invalid all his life ; he was not a fit subject for the
Reform School, or any other institation, so long as he had a moth-
er's love to cherish him.
So long as kindness and humanity govern the discipline, we see
no objection to placing weak minded children, who have committed
offenses, and who have healthy bodies, in the care of the Reform
School. But we would be glad of some provision for those subject
to epilepsie.

TRTTSTEEri' REFORT.
Hia ExaeOmcs, C. K. Damia, Governor of JfiuMMta ;
We herewith present oar ninth Annual report as tnistees of the
HinnesotA HoepitiU for loeane.
As the gnwdisDa of this great State charity, it Is with pecaliar
pleamire we report that the Hoapital bnildings, gradually going np
for the past eight years, are so nearly completed that we regard the
laat ^>propriation saffloient to finish them, entire, and secure, also,
all the needed improvemeuts. The State has generoosly provided
for this afflicted class of our citizens and, as a resait, there stands
a noble straotare, capable of accommodating about 600 persons,
beautifhily located, and with appotntmenta all of which, we think, will
diallenge comparison with any similar Institution in the land. We
have sought to erect a solid, substantial, and thorouglily eqaipped
Hospital, with the recent and most approved appliances for com-
fbrt, safety, and 'sanitary purposes. We htive not aimed at expen-
rive architectural display but, rather, at permenancy, fitness, and
the necessities of the insane. The Idkiatlon has been peculiarly fk-
▼orable fbr securing the heavy and most expensive materials of this
itructnre, abundance of pure water and ease of access.
And now with our oompleted bnildings filled with patients almost
aa rq>idly as acoommodations could be provided, we urgently re-
oommend the L^islatnre t6 ioaugurate plans for the future. To
this end we invite the special attention of the Executive and our
public men to the suggestions of Snpt. Dr. C. E. Bartlett, in his re-
port, bearing on this subject and as we heartily endorse them we
need not add thereto.
Daring the year, 669 different patients have been the recipients
of the benefits of this Institntion, and we commence the new year
with 4S4 patients under b«atment.

10 ANNDAL BBPOBT.
For the eusaing year we wk only for the neceuary onrrent ex-
penses. This, estimated at the asnal ratio of increase, gives us an
aTerage daily attendance of 461 , and at 98.75 per week for each pa-
tient, amounts to (89,895.00. This ia twenty-^ve cents less per
week for each than the estimate of last year, and inclndes any ex-
traordinary expenses that may occur, salaries of officers and attend-
ants, all repairs, fuel, clothing, medicines, refiimishing of bedding
' and fhrnitnre, and all table sopplles. By the Treasurer's atatement,
however, we hare a snrplus sufficient to warraut us in reducing this
amount more than $6,000. We, therefore, respectfully ask an ap-
propriation of t83,500.00 far current expenses for the year 1876.
For the main expenditures of the year in building operations, we
refer yon to the report of the bnilding committee.
The Treasnrer in his report presents the condition of the finances.
We are gratified that a sufficient amount is unexpended, of current
funds, to carry us through the expensive winter months.
Our temporary buildings in the city have become in a great njess-
iire uDflt for occupancy, and we propot^e in a short time to abandon
them entirely, unless the State should otherwise order. In that
event, they must be completely overhauled, and at considerable ex-
pense.
Dr. A. Reynolds, Superintendent of the Iowa Uos[iltal for lasans
at Independence, being present at our December meeting, was re*
quested to accompany the Board in their quarterly inspection. We
append hie report, feeling that the impressions of such visitors are
pnhlic property. Besides quarterly, we have also monthly visita-
tions of the inspeotion, the committee being asually acoontpanied by
some citizen of the State invited for this pui^se. Beports of these
vleitations are placed upon record. We cordially invite oar State
officials, public and professionld men, to visit tills Institntion, and
carefully inspect its administration, its appointments, and its neces-
sities, too.
Thankful for the past success of this Institntion, we commend It
to the sympathy of a generous public, and the cordial support of cor
State authoiitlee.

REPORT OF DR. A.REYNOLDS.
Id the compftny of the Bitard of TrnsteeB, Dr. Bartiatt, the bq-
perintendent, Dr. Bowers, assistant physician, and Hr. Dryer,
steward, I visited all the wards of the Hospital, and while finding
everytiiing in uniformly good order, desire to speak particularly of
the absence of excitement and terbnlence on the part of the pa-
tienta and the marked gentleness and attention of the attendants.
Hie patients were all neatly and plainly dressed, very little dis-
airaogemeDt of the clothing, so common in disturbed wards. I was
partlotdariy atmok with seeing so few under mechanical restraint,
two in camisole and two or three with wristers and body-belt, the
simplest and least trrluting of any restraint, not excepting secla-
aion or holding by an attendant. I am sarprised that good female
attendants can be secured for the sum paid, which is mnch less than
ill meet similar institutions In the country. The wards were well
ventilated and warmed. We also visited the store-rooms, kitchen,
bakery and laundry, finding uniform system, neatness and dispatch,
in each of those departments. I was particularly interested in the
apparatus and process of manufacture of gas, which appears to be
the best possible for an instilntion of this character. The location
of the building, comprising those prime necessities — heatthnitness of
situation, facility of access and, last but not least, an abundance of
pore water, shows conclnsiveiy that tliose having the matter in
<Aarge were guided by good judgment, impelled by good motives.
When the character of the material and the manner of constrac-
tion of the building la considered, it is true that no State Hospital
for the Insane has been constructed at so low a cost per capita, as
the Minnesota Hospital for the Insane.

REPORT OF BUILDING COMMITTEE.
ZV the Board of TVuttaw .*
G-KKTi-EMEN : — ^Toat committee on baUding beg leave to submit
the followiDg report ;
The extenaion of the north wing, and the east addition, complet-
ing the permanent hoepital bnilding, according to plans, Iieing ready
for plastering at the dateof onr last report, in December, 1874, the
work of finishing the same and preparing it for oocnpanoy was di-
vided, for convenience, into four separate classes, viz. : Mastering,
carpenter work, painting, and plumbing and heating apparatus —
and proposals for doing the work in this manner were invited from
builders by advertising, according to law. On the 14th day of April,
the bids were opened by the Board, and Mr. R. Roberts, of Uanka-
to, being the lowest bidder for plastering, the contract was given to
him at tweuty-flve cents per yard, the contractor finding all ma-
terials.
The lowest bid for the carpenter work was made by Henry Camehe,
of St. Peter ; but on aocotmt of the terms of payment made neces-
sary by notice trom the State Treasurer, concerning the fhod tar
building purposes, he declined to enter into contract, having made
his estimates on a cash basis. The next lowest bid for the same
work, was ofi'ered by Patow & Borneman, of St. Peter, and they
having given the required bonds, received the contract for $5,725,
finding all materials except the hard fiooring.
The painting was awarded to Mr. W. O. Powell, of St. Peter, for
$599 f he finding all materials.
The contract for plumbing and heating apparatus was given to
Samuel I. Pope & Co., of Chicago, 111., for $4,180, they finding all
materials.
The first and last contracts have been completed, and the second
and third partly, and the work is now going forward. The whole
was to be finished by the first of November, but your committee
did not desire the finishing wood-work to go in too soon after the
JigiLizedbyGoOglc
HOSPITAL FOR DTBIMB. 13
pIuteriDg w&s don«, aad before the wkUs and Joiato were thoroogh-
1; dry, and the time allowed, flrom the fifteenth of September, when
the plastering waa completed, to the flrtt of November, was not
anflScient to complete all the work in good order,
Yoor commiltee feel that the work of the several contracts, nn-
der the constant aupervialon of Mr. B. R. Damren, of St. Peter,
who is familiar with the work required, will compare favorably with
(he rest of the bailding.
Yonr Board, at their meeting in June, aatborized this committee
to bnlld a suitable gaa-houBe ; haying contracted with Mr. A. C.
Band, of Minneapolis, to pnt in the necessary apparatus for mana-
fectaring gaa for lighting purposes, for $3,800, and a sacceastbl
operation gaaranteed before any payment was required. The com-
mittee employed Mr. Harry Downs, with necessary assistants, to
erect the honse, which ia 88x30 feet and 13 feet high above the
water table, with tinned roof. It is located north of the boiler
honse and though Joining is really a distinct building. It is now
completed and the gas apparatus in SQCcessftil operation. For a
fbrther description of which we refer you to the report of the Super-
intendent. The honse is built of stone and lined with brick, with
dead air space, and cost $1,600.
The contract for fhrnisbing the gas fixtures throughout the hos-
pital was given to Mr. James L. Spink, of Minneapolis. The fix-
tares are made by Cornelius A Sons, of Philadelphia, Pa. They
are not yet completed, but the cost will be abont $1,500.
The reservoir at tbe spring for water supply has been enlarged to
double its former capacity, and a second steam force pomp, called
the "Atlas," and manufactured by Smith, Telle & Co., of Dayton,
Ohio, purchased — the cost of these two items being $803.05.
The mtun sewer has been extended north to the new addition,
and the area walb south of the laundry and boiler bouse completed.
These were alt necessary expenses, and could not be longer delayed.
We hope and trust our action will be approved.

BEPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT.
To the Board of Trtat«e»:
G£irn.Eitxi( ; — Again it becomes my duty to report to yon a aant-
mary or the history of this hospital for another year. So far as-
yon are personally concerned this wonid be unnecessary, ae yonr
regnlar meetings and. ^quent investigations have made you fami-
liar with the details of business and general admin strati on, bnt cus-
tom and statute law nnite in this Judicious public requirement,
whether the facts and progress of oar worli are pleasant and satis-
factory cr not. The institution exists as an outgrowth of tbe feel-
ings of the people, and it is right to inform them of its condition
and wants, that they may have such an interest in its welfare as to
cherish and support it in a proper manner. Although we have not
accomplished all we desired or hoped for at the beginning of Uie
year, still the measure of anccesa granted, and the escape from
serious ills vouchaafed, by a kind Providence, challenge our sincere
gratitude. A lai^e addition to our number was anticipated, as the
rapid growth of our State, in the past, led us to eX|>ect, and in this
we have not been mistaken ; but no proper subject has been rejected
for want of room, although the department for males has beeu over-
crowded and will be until the opening of the new portion of the
north wing, now being prepared. When this is completed Minneso-
ta will stand in the front rank of States making ample provision for
the care and treatment of the insane; a worthy record for thi»
young but vigorous State. It is now only ten years since the first
appropriation was made for the support and accommodation of thi>
unfortunate claae of persona within our own boundaries, and the re-
sult is highly creditable to the philanthropic and liberal spirit of the
people. A flrst-ciass building in all its appoint events has been
erected, and mostly paid for ftom the yearly revenaee, and its cur-

rent expenses promptly met without a mnrmar of complaint ftom
any intelligent or humane person. No st«p has been taken back-
ward, and I trust none will ever tie advocated by the most ardent
advisor of retrenchment.
This is a charitable institution, butitia prepared for all, rich or
poor, who may find it necessary to seek its aid. Its base is broad
as the State, and its rotief is freely olTored .
The general statistics of the patients, for the year 1875, are as

Tlie general health of the iDtnatea has been excellent, and most
of the deaths occurred among chronic cases and those who had
been residents of the hospital for some years.
It will be seen by the above statistics that the number has in-
creased, during the past year, fifty-three, or, leaving out the five
committed I^om Dakota Territory, forty-eight ; and this is the aver-
age yearly gain for the last seven years. The growth of the State,
and the cases derived ftom the present population will warrant the
predictioB that the number will not be less in years to come. The
question of fvlure provision is then near at hand, as the hjgienic
capacity of this hospital will be readied the present year, if the
temporary buildings are entirely abandoned, f^ve handred patients,
with the necessary attendants, congregated in one house, and on
one farm, constitute as large a family as desirable for suitable classi-
floation, provision and treatment. Some years ago the Association
of Medical Superintendents of Hospitals for Insane recommended
twa hundred and fifty as the most proper number for a hospital,
and some years later an amendment was made, that the number
might, under some circumstances, be five hundred. But the latter
opinion was probably expressed more in faver of economy than for
the best interest of the patients to be treated.
How, then, must the future necessity be met? The plan of sepa-
rate institutions for the chronic and acute cases, or, as generally ex-
pressed, incuTObte and curable subjects, has been advocated, and in
some instances adopted, under the impression that a saving might
be made in the cost of support, by providing cheap lodgings for
the chronic insane. The scheme, I believe, unwise, impracticable,
and inexpedient, and the final reanlt, wherever tried, a failure; m-
wiM, as we cannot select the cases for each division and consign
them to definite quarters, some to what may seem to them a final
doom, without danger of great injustice, and, perhaps, cruel mis-
takes ; impracticable from the fact that cases of both descriptions
are developed in all parts of the State, and sanding one to a re-
mote section for treatment, away IVom accommodations for a differ-
ent class, to be returned, it may be for final keeping, at great ex-
zed byCoOglc

peoae for traasportation, would seem oDncceasay and impoUlIo;
<nexptdimt, as the cost saved by. a separation in the one class would
be made up by tlie extra paid altendance necessary for a class wholly
Acute, and tUe whole plan a failure from a combination of the above
ditBculLfes, and the gratlusl degeneration of such cheap receptacles
into mere pens for the herding of patients to be supported, perliaps,
eventually by the lowest bidder for the contract. Any movomeuts
in favor of such plans would fully illustrate the anecdote related
by the distinguished expert in insanity, Dr. Pliny Earle, of an or-
der given by a military officer drilling his company, " advance in »
retrograde direction."
It is a well known fact that the friends of patients avail themselves
of hospital treatment in propwtion to their proximity to its doors,
and tliat patients, remote from accommodations, are often retained at
home, hoping for a favorable change, until too late to derive sub-
stantial beneQt fi^m any treatment, and then they become a perma>
sent charge lo their friends or the Sute. A better, and in the end
a more economical plan would be to provide suitable and curative
hospitals for all within reasonable distance of the centres of popu-
lation. For this purpose, in this State, two central paints migitt be
selected as proper locations, and such provision made, from time to
time, as necessity demands. Extensive and costiy buildings need
not be projected and provided at once, but suitable plans adopted,
capable of extension, and completed when needed. The whole or-
ganization and preparation of these several institutions should re-
main under one board of trustees, to secure harmony of action and
aniformity of admlnstration.
Ip this Gonnecliou I have been requested to call your attention
to a class of patients, though not strictly belonging here, yet have
been received because there seemed to be no other place for them,
and the number is increasing. I allude to the idiots and young im-
beciles. They have been regularly committed, not from any expec-
tation of benefit by treatment, as that can be merely custodian, in
most coses. They arc generally children of poor settlers, located
in thinly inhabited counties, where little or no provision has been
made for the helpless poor. They are troublesome at home and at
times dangerous from their violent dispositions and propensities for
mischief, with Are and other agents. They must be cared for, but
the insane hospital is not the best or proper place for them. Un-
der patient teachers, accustomed to such a class of pupils, theh:
oooditioo can be vastly improved, and sometimes the most degra-
ded and revolting specimeos of humanity made comparatively corn-

fortable and happy. What, then, can be dODe for these anfortunate
little ones if you refuse to admit them here? If they oould be col-
lected into a family by themselves, as a school, on a farm, in a
healthy location, and cared for and taught by some competent per-
son, snbjt'Cl to public examination and the control of the State, the
expense need not exceed the estimate now allowed for each inmate
here, and the Bdvantajres to them would be greatly multiplied, and
the hospital, in some degree, relieved. I make these suggestions in
the hope that some action may be taken by tbose in authority that
may result in benefit to these feeble-minded yonth.
Improvements. — ^Tho most important of these is the preparation
for occupancy of the addition to the north wing, occupied by male
patients, which symmetrically completes the hospital building, and
gives us nine distinct wards for eac*J sez.
The introduction of gaslight, in place of candles, and moveable
lamps filled with inflammable oil, is one of the most important im-
provements, adding much 10 oar comfort as well as safety from fire,
and giving a cheerful look to the halls during the long winter even-
ings otherwise not easily obtained. The gas is manufactured from
naphtha, stored in an iron tank of 34,00') gallons capacity, a quan-
tity sufficient for a year's supply, and located outside the building,
mostly under ground, from which it is pumped as required for use.
The process of making this gas is by heated retorts, and is the pa-
tent of A. G. Rand, Esq., of Minneapolis, Minn., who supplies the
apparatus. His process differs from the older methods of manu-
facturing in the fact that the oil is not permitted lo flow directly
npon the inside of the retort, but first enters the vaporizing pan
placed in the front end of the retort, the object of which is to first
vaporize the oil, and then the vapor passing through the retort is
oonverted into a fixed gas. This plan prevents the thick tarry mat-
ter and asphalt from stopping up the various conduits ending in the
gasometer, they being held back in the pan, which can be removed
and cleaned occasionally, thus prevenung stoppages tn the works.
In the older methods, to prevent these difllculties, the retorts are
kept at a low beat, so that considerable condensation may ensue as
the result of said low temperature ; this will wash out of tlie pipes
the thick tarry substance, but it is a great waste of material. An-
other important feature of these works is the water column washer,
which is furnished with a spray, through which the gas passes on
its way to the holder. By the use of this, all particles of dry car-
boa are taken out of the gas. The vaporizer and washer, com-
bined, make the works perfectly safe as no stoppages and the result-
ant explosions can ever occur.

HOSPITAL FOR INSANE. S7
The gasometer will hold 1,900 feet or gas, estimated to eqnat, in
oandle power, 9,500 feet of coal gaa.
The building, S8 x 30 and 13 feet high, vrith tinned roof, covering
the gasometer and other necessaiy apparatus for manufacturing goa,
and storing coke for fuel, is of stone, aimilai- to the other baililinga,
and lined iriih brick, trith dead-air apace, making it nearly frost-
proof; but as the works are not in daily use, two eteam coils, for
healiog, when necessary, have been put in.
I have tbuB described this apparatus and the process of making
gas at some length, as it is comparatively of recent date and, its
■access now assured, is of considerable interest to parties outside
onr own neigliborbood. We have not been using this liglit long
flnongh to state its cost accurately, but estim.ite tlie expense of oil,
ftael and labor not to exceed three dollars per day, throughout the
year, for three hundred burners.
Some other improvements of less cost bnt of great convenience
have been made, perfecting the arrangemcnlsfor water supply, cook-
ing, and store-rooms. For the fli-at, the reservoir, at the spring, has
been enlarged to double its former capacity, and a new steam force
pomp procured, as an extra, to guard against acuidenta. The wa'
ter supply for an inatitulion of this character and number of in-
matea, is too important to risk a fiiilure, even for a single day, if It
can be possibly avoided. The range, for the kitchen, tliat had been
io nse aince the opening of the lioaae, being now too small, it was
removed to the temporary hospital, anil its place supplied with one
of larger aize. For storing supplies, the basement of the west side
of the south wing flrat hall, has been prepared by plastering the
ceilings and walls and flagging the floor with stone laid in cement.
It is convenient of access, directly from the kitchen, aud fiom the
outside, through a door, for lieavy packages.
Grading alHiai. the building has been continned as the farm help
and teams could be spared from other work, and a variety of shade,
firoit and ornamenUl trees set out.
The appropriation for current funds, last year, was based on the
Mtimate of four dollars per week for eac\ paliejit, and this amount
was Intended to meet all expenses for board of patienti and aiten'
danta (this year tlie latter numbering sixty-six,) all clothing nece^-tary
for patients, building and furniture, fuel and light, medical supplies,
«ll necessary repain, and some extraordinary expenses for improve-
ments, oflJcers' salaries and support, and wages of attendants, aud
it has been sufficient and something to spare, as the treasurer's ac-
oonnta will show. If allowence is made for the same increase of

patleoUi this year, the daily average will be 461, and at the rate of
$3.75 per week, a reduction of twenty-five cents per week, for each,
from last year's estimate, t8&,8iJ5 will be required. This amount,
with ^the osubI economy of expenditure, may be sufQcieat; sbould
it, however, prove othorwise, the batanoe or cost at the end of the
fiscal year will be redaced and known in time for relief by tite fol-
lowing legislature.
Farm. — This has been conducted as formerly, and although the
locusts damaged the early vegetables, corn and otber plants to a
considerable extent, still the crops, as a whole, exceed in value
those of any previous year. The care of stock, and the variety of
labor ftirniBhed for the convalescing patients by the cultivation of a
farm, gives opportunity for healthful exercise and recreation for
which a substitute is not easily found — 975 days' labor have been
performed by patients and farm bands In addition to the regular
farm work, in grading, making and repairing roads, and excavaving
trenches for sewers and foundation for gas-house and area walla.
Occupaticn Is also furnished, as far as possible, for the female
patients : assisting in the kitchen, laandry and sewing room, and
general bouse work in the balls. The following is a list of the new
articles made in the sewing rooms. The repairing, the largest item
of needle work, is done mostly in the female wards by patients and
attendants of which no account is kept :

REPORT or THE DIRECTORS.
To Si» SxcelitJUS!/, 0. K. Davit, Qovtmor:
nnder the special appropriation of 115,000.00, made last winter,
we have put in the basemeot of the main center of the bnildings
for the Deaf and Dumb Department, and have secured in all re-
spects a first^laaa Job ; a small portion of the cat stone remains
to b« laid in the spring .
We desire to commend the contractors, O'Neil & Palmer, for their
faithfnl performance of this contract, taken at Tery low fignres, and
M»J. A. B. Sogers, for hie soperintendence of the work.
After defl^ying the expense of this improvement, together with
the aqaednct hereafter explained, there still remains unexpended,
of last winter's appropriation, about six thoasand dollars.
Onr architects, U. Shiere A Bro., of St. Paul, after a carefhl es-
timate, report : That it will cost to enclose the main center, ia-
oluding slate roof, irith cupola complete, sash set and glazed, ver-
andaha and steps complete, joists and lining floors laid, all neces-
sary partitions set for the support of Joists, and all outside painting
done, the sum of forty-two thousand five hundred dollars. Add
fifteen hundred dollars for cost of suuerintendence, and for changes
in the wings to adapt them to the center, we have forty-four thou-
sand dollars. Deduct six thousand dollars undrawn and unex-
pended, we shall need an appropriatjon of thirty-eight thousand
dollara the enauiug session of the Legislature, and we may add
that it is probably the last large appropriation for building pur-
poses that we shall ever ask at their bands. We shall, of coarse,
need a considerable sum next year to finish, fhmieh and heat the
building, bnt the entire sum will fall far short of the one hundred
thousand dollars originally estimated as the cost of the main cen-
ter, with its flltings.
Onr experience has taught us ttiat in any institution which be-
JigiLizedbyGoOt^lc

comes the home of & coDai<)erable namber of children and youth,
one easenti&l condition of safety, health and culture, in an ample
supply of pnre water. For years a fine Bpring, Sowing by gravita-
tion through the bnildings for the Deaf and Dumb, has, in our
opinion, largely contributed to the remarkable immunity fVom
sickness and death which has been a prominent feature in the his-
tory of the Institution. The Blind Department, until lately, has
been supplied flrom an Imperfect cistern and feeble well. Dnrinfif
the sumxer it was ascertained that 0. F. Brand, one of our citi-
zens living upon and owning the old farm of Judge Berry, for the
mere nominal sum of one hundred dollars, would deed us the per-
petual flow of a fine spring upon the farm, and right of way bctdm
his premises, on condition that we would improve the same. The
altitude of the spring was found to be twenty-three fbet and eight
inches above the third floor of the Institution building. The water
problem, which had puzzled ns, was solved. We immediately
proceeded with the work. We have built a reservoic, with water-
tight wing dams — carried the water, four feet under ground,
in prepared wooden pipes of two-inch bore, a distance of 3,400
feet, — provided conyenient stock water, and for a fonntain in
the yard, and distributed the water through the building, at a
cost of about eighteen hundred dollars (the plumbing bills are
not all in yet.) The cost was charged to the special appro*
priation of last winter. The water is clear, pure, sweet, abundant,
and nearly soft.
You may remember that we found in a previous report that
1260.00 per pupil was somewhat below the average cost of main-
taining the D. db D. & B. Instttutions of this country. Upon this
basis we have done the work of over $dO,000.00 for »26,000.00 dur-
ing the last year. With the constant apprehension of our first defi-
ciency at the close of this financial year, the Directors have pud
the strictest personal attention to the items of expenditure and
are able again to return the uniform report : "A small balance in
in the Treasury." But we feel that this extreme economy ought
soon to be modified. The bare walls of our buildings shonld bear
a few good pictures. More rooms and especially the hospital should
be carpeted. Apparatus is needed for both classes, and some t^-
pliances for amusement, and a special need is a good library for the
blind, who are voracious hearera of general literature.
We hesitate to mention these wants, for we know fVill well the
pressure applied to the lean Treasury of onr new state. We only
suggest, that should some rich bonanza be discovered this winter

among oar virgia rasoarcee, that great joy can b« broogbt to the
e}'eleu and earless papils of this institation by an extra gift to be
expended fbr their comfort, amasement and art education.
We are oonstantly surprised at the amonnt of work performed
and the general improTement of the pupils in the several shops, bat
the intelleotoal, indastrial, domeaUc and financial oondition of the
Institution is fhlly set forth in the accompanying documents, which
we herewith reBpectfhUy sabmit on behalf of the Board.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
fb the Sonordble Board of Direetort :
GxHTLKMKH : — llie Thirteenth Annokl Report of this Inatitotioii
is now dne. Ib it onlj a very brief notice will be attempterl, in
speaking of the variotia departmenta of labor and learning.
The whole nnmber of pnpila in attendance during the year has
been 110 in the Deaf and Dnmb, and 21 in the Blind Department —
total, 131. Of the former, 70 are males, and 40 are females; of
the latter, 18 are moles, and $ females.
As the pnplls of tbe Blind Department have been cared for and
taught in departmente and by officers specially selected for tbe
work, they will be brought before you in another part of this Report.
Good health has prerailed, in tbe main, throughout the year.
I^ast spring, the measles broke out among the pupils, and for a
short time made lively work In onr hospitals ; but with faithful,
watcbftil care, and skillful medical treatment, ali in dne time wera
perfectly restored to health. One of the older pnpils had a severe
ran of rheumatic fever, from which, however, he recovered. Provi-
dence has so graciously blessed our care and treatment of the side
hitherto, that we fondly hoped death woald not iavade our family
circle. For nearly thirteen years in saccession — a period covering
the entire history of this Institution, fh>m its opening to the 29th
of last May, not a death occurred among onr pupils. But the pe-
culiar charm of that thought is gone, for the family circle has been
invaded, and, within the past six months, two of our pupils have
died — one while here at school, the other at home.
ADA AMD SUSAN.
Tbe former, Ada Jenks, of Lake City, died Hay 29th, 1875. Tbe
zedbyGoOgle
THI DKAF AXm DUMB, AKJ> TBM BLDID. 18
olrcDnutaiioes of her death are these : From infancy the hod beea
troabled more or less with a tumor npon the back of her head lear
the base of the brain. It hadigrown to snch dimensiona that it wa»
difBcnl t to conceal it with her hair. Two days previoas to her death,
she was npon the lawn gathering flowers with some of her play-
mates, and by some mishap fell and braised this tumor. At first,
nothing serions was apprehended, — prompt atteation was given —
bat she grew worse and despite the best of care and medical treat-
ment, in forty-eight hours from the time of the All, she calmly passed
away. In her last moments she had the affiectlonate care of her
mother. Ada was a gentle, affectionate, obedient child, and al-
though her attainments were humble, yet her brief sojourn in the
institution was not in vain.
t>u8an J. Dallas, of Clearwater, Wright Co., who had been at school
one term died of diphtheria at her home, and was buried Sept. 8th,
the very day her mother had set apart for her return to schooK
She was a bright, amiable child, with a sweet disposition that had
won the respect of all. Her widowed mother has the sympathy of
hearts made sad through her loss.
Ada and Susan are the severed links in the chain hitherto nnbrO'
ken, and in years M come their smiling faces and gentle mannera
will often be remembered by their schoolmates and teachers.
OBADUATBS.
By referring to the report of 1868, it will be seen that at the
commencement of the term, after entering the north wing, the a^
tendance of pupils was almost doubled. Of the twenty-six who
entered the Deaf-Uate D^artment at that time, thirteen graduated
the 16th of last June, This is the largest number that ever re-
ceived the honors of Uie Institution at any one time.
The majority of these have obtained sufficient knowledge of the
English language to enable them to converse with ease, and to
transact the ordinary business of life under standingly. The boys
also have a good knowledge of one of the trades taught, and the
girls are well acquainted with plain sewing, fancy work and ordi-
nary housework. They are already giving evidence by their labor
and efflciency, that they are no longer dependent on friends, hut
are able to care for themselves and provide for their own wants.
The institution has done mnch for them. They are conscious of
it, and an increasing sense of their obligation to the Instttntion
and to the State that has educated them, will ever abide with them.

BesideB theae gradaates, twelve others have not aa jet returned for
varioDB reasons. Three were not proper EQbJects ; two have died ;
two are in feeble health ; one has left the state and the rest are re-
tained at home for Uieit services, or for want of means to fit tbem
ont properly for school. It is to be regretted that any shoald leave
aohool before completing a AiU coarse, or obtaining sofflcient knowl-
edge of the English language to enable them to express thdr ideas
ciearly and uoderstandingly. Bat in this respect an institntion for
the deaf and dnmb is snbject to laws and experiences very similar to
ordinary schools. Stadents become tired of study and seek freedom
ttom reetraint, and some desire to try their hand at making a for-
tane before thetime. A year's experienoe in the world sometimes
teaches them a good lesson, and they return to school with renewed
energy and devotion.
From the United States censas of 1870, and by private corres-
pondence, the names, ages and residence of seventy-one auedacated
deaf-mutea within the state have been determined, and the same
wore published in the report of last year. Of theae only one has en-
tered school, while eleven, concemisg most of whom nothing what-
ever had been heard, have appeared and are now members of the
various ctaases.
There are others who have made application and are expected in
dae time.
Notwithstanding there have been present during the year three

proper sabjeots and they are all doing well.

join an advanced class. Thirteen and one-half is the average age
of the beginners.

and seeking Tor Improvements in manner, matter, and methods of
teaching the deaf and dumb, as time and experience direct. The
number of persons possessing the requisite qnaliflcations of body,
mind and heart for teaching th<se children, is comparatively small ;
and when once they have obtained the necessary experience, tbeir
services become valuable. A goodly proportion of those engaged
in teaching oar classes are well fitted for their work, and they are
making their labors and influence felt among the deaf-mutos of the
state. It is very important that all such should make it their life
work, and institntions will do well to encourage them in such a
course. The only addition to osr corps of teachers which I would
respectfhily suggest, is that of a teacher of il rawing.
Speciid attention is given to this department of study in our best
public schools, and it is even more important to the deaf and dumb
than to children possessing all their faculties. It appeals directly
to the eye, the queen of the seoaes to a deaf-mute.
cuas wouK.
The studies taught in the seven classes- of the deaf-mnte depart-
ment embrace those of an ordinary common school course.
Beginning with simple object teaching, by which the letters of tha
alphabet are first taught ; then qualities ; the construction of sim-
ple sentences ; the addition of simple numbers ; we pass to the uaa
of text books on Geography, Arithmetic, History, and Grammar,
as fast as the attainments of the various classes will admit of it.
A single class of semi-mutes is also taught articulate speech.
In this class text books are employed, and the pupils are required
to use their knowledge of spoken language In recitations and in
tbelr commnnioation with their teachers, and the oBScers of the
Institution.
Usually about ten per cent, of the pupils are semi-mutes, but
twenty-five percent, of those admitted this fall belong to this class.
Generally these are the best scholars, for the reason thay have had
hearing long enough to get some idea of the construction of lan-
guage, and have obtained some little dieoiptlne of mind before en-
tering the Institution.
The classes are under instruction four and a half hours during
the day, with an hoar's study in the evening, under the superriaion
of one of the teachers. Some idea of the studies pnrsned by the
dassaa may be obtained by examining tha following liat of text
books and exwoisaa uqw in use in the variooB oIhms.

nniDBTBIAL CLABSBS.
For the purposes of intellectual work and discipline, the pupils
lue divided into seven classes taught by as many teachers, bot in
the industrial work they are divided into four, and taught by three
gentlemen and one lady. Four hours and a half each day, Sunday
excepted, the papils are employed at one of the trades taught, or
the girls at plain sewing, dress-making, fancy-work, or ordinary
housework. It should be borne in mind that the shops are not, nor
«ver will be, a source of income \o the institution. We hope iu time
to make them self-supporting. The object of them is to teach every
boy and every girl irhile in school some kind of work, or handicraft,
by which each may, if circnmstances require it, earn an honest liv-
ing and not depend on others. Some idea of what has been done
during the year, may be seen by the following statement ;

siBts in the knowledge of a trade imparted, and the skill acquired
in the practice of the same, together with the formation of habits-
of indastr;, punctuality, system and good order. The graduates
begin to understand this, and some of them would gladly oonUnne
this work longer, in order to obtain more skill at their trade.
In the management of the shops, and teaching these four indna-
triat classes, much credit is due to the patience and perseverance of
those who have been in charge of them. Undoubtedly even more-
and better work will be tamed ofi daring the next twelve monUu.
THE BLIND DEPARTMENT.
Good health has prevailed among the pupils of the Blind Depart-
ment during the entire year. A few exceptional cases of sickneBS-
are all that have occurred.
They have been made both comforti^ie and happy in the eq}oy-
ment of their acoommodatioos, separated ftom the deaf and dumb.
At the end of the school year, in June last. Prof. A. N. Ffattr

Actiog Principal, and two of his assistuita, John J. Tncker and
UCaria £. Crandall, declined a re-appointment. Mr. Pratt accepted
the position for only a year, and notwithstanding the delays, inoon-
Teniencea and positive annoyances incident to the change, and
•tarting in the new quarters, he latfored cheerfully and faithfully tO
the end, and with regret hia resignation was accepted. Mr. Tucker
and Sfiss Crandall, who were graduates of this department, desired
rest and a change. The latter for the benefit of her health, and the
former to make the necessary preparation for an operation to re-
move the cataract from hia eyes. The best wishes of all their as-
sociates here attend them.
These Taoancies have been well filled. Prof. James J. Dow, in
the short space of three mouths, as principal, has gathered up the
reins let fall by his predecessor, has classified the pupils, and sys-
tematized his work in a manner that gives great promise for the
future. His aBsistants, Imth in the school and household work, are
efiScient and faithful. For further particulars concerning this de-
partment, I commend to your careful consideration the following

The re^lar work of the school naturally falls into the two dt-
-visions : Literary and Musical. In the first of these are included
all the pupils in attendance ; in the second all those who show any
aptitnde for mosio.
The literary division is nnder my immediate supervision with
the very efficient aid of my assistant. Miss. M. Mott. Seata and
desks of the most approved style have been placed in one of the
school rooms in sufl^cient numljer to accommodate all of the pupils.
. Here, each pupil has his or her seat assigned, and, from this room,
classes pass to the recitation-room of the assistant and to the mu-
sic rooms for lessons and practice. The pupils have thus far shown
a very commendable spirit in pursuit of their btudice, taking up
difflcuit branches with an almost incredible ease and intelligibility.

The classes in the above branches compare very favorably with
those of similar grades in public schools ; and, as with them, differ-
ent individuals manifest varying degrees of diligence and intelli-
gence.
Special attention has been given this term to writing, and some
of the pnpils have improved quite rapidly, for instance : two pupils
have in two months from the time they made their first letter, ac-
quired a clear and legible hand. The apparatus is very simple : A
lead pencil and a " writing board," consisting of a stiff pasteboard
somewhat larger than the ordinary letter sheet, with grooved chan-
nels aljout one elgbth of an inch deep and one-half an inch apart.
This is inserted between tbe leaves of tbe sheet of paper, which is
preased into the grooves of which the upper and lower edges serve
as guides to the height of the letter. The characters employed ar«
flimilar to the ordinary printed letter, with various modiBcatlons,
according to the ability or taste of the writer. In a few oases, where
there is especial aouteness of touch or where the pnpil has learned
to write before losing the sight, the ordinary script is employed.
The value of this means of communication with the seeing world
can hardly be estimated, and warrants us in giving time, care and
attention to it.
For purposes of communication with each other and for taking
notes, keeping memoranda, etc., different systems of tangible point

Braille, which is andentood by most of our popiU, and the more
recent and far more popular system of Snpt. Wait, of the N. T.
Institute for the Blind, known as the " N, T. point system." The
latter is being adopted quite generally in the U. S., and is in some
important particnlars, superior to the former. Onrpapils are grad-
Q&lly learning it, and its adoption has been materially advanced by
the nse of several interesting works in this character published by
the American Frinting House for the Blind.

Work.
It is to be regretted that, as yet, no regular provision has been
made for instmction in the different occnpationa practicable for the
blind, nowever beneficial to the mental and moral nature of the
blind a purely literary education may be, it will leave its possessor
bot poorly equipped for tbe struggle of life unless sapplemented by
a practical knowledge of some handicraft. It has been thoroughly
demonstrated in the older institutions of our land that tbe blind
can be trained todo different work in a variety of trades, such as
broom-making, working In cane, basket, brush and mattress making*,
and, with the more expert, in much more dilficult and complicated
trades. Nearly all can do aometbiug at these trades, and many can
support themselves by the labor of their hands, thus relieving
Mends or perchance the oonnty of the lifelong burden of their
m^ntenanoe. Music will, to a few, f^iruish au adequate means of
support, and, for a thorough training in this, the Institution provides
ample means, but some have no natural aptitude for music and
many can never attain snch proficiency in it as to assure them of
support.
Another reason for the introduction of aome trade of the kind
indicated, and one of no email weight, is that tbe amount of unoc-
cupied time cannot fail to foster & habit of indolence whleh is ex-
ceedingly injurious in its influence upon tbe prpsent and future
welfare of the blind pupil. We seek to guard i^ainst thia by en-
couraging outKloor Bports and exercise, and auch in-door employ,
ment as bead-work and pl^n sewing, in which some of tbe pupils
have become qaite proficient, and some simple bousebold work ;
but nothing can fiilly meet the case except regular employment io

The year 1875 will be memorable in the history of this Institution
AS the one in which two important improvements were inaugurated.
The first is the laying of the foundation of the main center build-
ing and erecting thereon the basement story to the water table, a
piece of work that has been done in a thorough manner and at
very low figures. The other is the introduction of a never-failing
supply of pura spring water into the building occupied by the blind
pupils. This will not only promote cleanliness and health but
facilitate housework and household comforts. Both of these im-
provements are of prime importance, and together, mark the year
as one of special importance in the mat«rial growth and reaoorces of
the institution. It ia earnestly hoped that the building so well b^nn
and so much needed, will be carried forward to completion with as
little delay as possible.
In the work contemplated the coming season, I most respectfully
urge npob your attention the importance of the following points in
the erection and finishing of the
HAW CBNTBB BDILDIKS.
Health, comfort, convenience, durability and safety should never
be lost sight of in a building to be occupied by so many persona
for generations to come.
To facilitate health and comfort, the Tery best modes of heating
&nd ventilation should be introduced into all the apartments. Due
preparation for epidemics should be made. And Just here it would
be well to adopt the plan carried out in the State University, of
providing open fire-places on every floor, to be used as ventJlators,
or for Srea in times of sickness.
Ample provision for the inflow and outflow of fresh and foul air
is indispenaible In every room. Special prominence and great ca-
pacity should be given to this in the basement rooms, to be occa-
pied as kitchen and servants' dining-room. Also in the conatruc-
tioD of the dumb waiter, to avoid fllling the house with steam,
smoke, and fumes from the kitchen and basement.
zedbyGoOgle
THB DBAF AMD DmiB, AND THE BLIND. S9
Considering tb« size and nature of the rooms to be provided
here, health and comfort irill call for unasaal painstaking to let Id
snnllght and troah air in saffloient qnantities. Better make one
large room with plenty of light and air, than two with do direct ean*
light, and fresh air in one of Ibem. A living room, to be healthy,
ebonld receive the direct light of the bud at least a portion of the
time daily.
For convenience and comfort also it wbnld be well to provide
ample closet room in all the living rooms and the school-rooms.
Books, maps, cards, and class findings generally are often prema-
tarely worn oot, wasted or lost, for want of some snch provisioa.
In a family, where its members are reckoned by scores and
handreds, many articles of wearing apparel, bedding, household
fiztares, et cetera, are to l>e kept, not in balls, to be run over and
broken, bat in some safe place and preserved for futurie nse.
Durability will naturally suggest that all the school-rooms, halls,
dining-rooms and kitchen fioors be made of hard wood — ash or
maple. Oak stains badly, and does not wear so well.
The school-rooms, dining-room, chapel, pl%y-room and halls
should be waiDBCoted. In the case of the halls it should be at least
Ave or six feet high.
A proper regard to both health and safety will require great eare
and extraordinary pains in protecting the house from the odors and
gases arising'from the sewer running the entire length of the main
building. Just beside and above Uiis are located the cold air ducts
and stacks of steam pipes for heating the building ; hence the great
importance of making the sewer tight beyond a doubt. Let no
nook, comer, or crevice be neglected, through which foul gases can
escape, to carry poisonous and pestilential air to the lungs of the
household.
Thus far in building this Institotion you have mad^ no great mis-
take, and cra^tainly yon would not make one in the erection of the
main center building, which completes the plan bo long held in
contemplation. Let it be the best of all — best in its design,
arrangements, conveniences and general appearance, giving sym-
metry, finish and completeness to the whole. Il Is to this end these
few suggestions are made, as the result of oonsiderable experience
and observation.

OOKOLDSIOM.
In this brief review of the institution and its work for the year
■many things «f interea'.. have been omitted.
The diligence and dntifulness of pupils, both in the schoolroom
and the shop ; their good deportment, tbeir cheerful obedience and
willing submission, have contributed much towards making the year
both a pleasant and a profitable one.
All the officers and teachers in both departments have labored
diligently and con sole ntionsly to make the institution successflil in
all its work and influenee. For their hearty co-operation they have
my gratefbl acknowledgments, and I doubt not, your commendation.

ranembered not only with fresh interest, bat also with an abiding
oonvictioa of the real service it has been to me in my work. The
oordial manntr in which I was received and the facilities for ob-
MTvation afforded me in all the institutions visited have awakened
new and ^troDger desires to make this institution ali it ought to be
for the deaf-mutes of the state.
The number of pupils in attendance is not as large as it ought
to be considering the number of deaf-mutes and the blind in the
state. Some undoubtedly are waiting for the completion of the
main building and will be here in due time. Special effort ought to
be made to spread reliable information concerning this school in
every county of the state, showing the people the terms of admia-
sion, manner of operation, and how important an education is to
these children.
An increased current fund will be needed at do distant day , as
■at forth in the last report. The effort to maintain and educate one
hundred and thirty pupils with what should be expended on one hun-
dred oogfat not to be carried to such an extent as to embarrass the
benevolent design of the Inetitation.
One of our teachers brought with him, trom the East, a small
printing press, with which he has been experimenting, practically
Ulastrating how usefhl a press can be made to the pupils and the
Institution. As soon as funds can be spared for that pmrpose a
small printing office, well fhrnished, would be a valuable addition
to oar indnstrial department.
The year has been one of great activity and success in all that
pertains to the best Interests of the school. The high standing for
intelligence andintegrityof most of the recent graduates; the eitent
of tiie improvements already inaognrated ; the hearty commendation
by parents of the work done for their children ; the continued favM
and sympathy of the people ; the mercy of God even in death, give
evidence of success, and also inspire one with courage and hope for
the future.
Belying upon you for wisdom and oounsel in all matters of doubt
and difficalty ; upon my associates for their efficient and hearty co-
operation, with a willingness to spend and be spent -in the good
work to which, by the grace of God, I have given my life, I would
enter upon the duties of another year in hope.
Respectfully submitted,
J. L. NOYES, Sapt.

PHYSICIAN'S REPORT.
Z\> lAe JSoard of Diractora of the MinneKda Itutautionfor the Bdu-
ectlion of the Deaf and Dumb, and the BIfnd.-
GniTLKiaR : — It becomes my duty at the end of another ye«r to re-
port to yon tiie sanitKry conditioo of the InBtitutioa under your
oare.
There have been daring the year two epidemics of an infectiooi
type — one of searlet fever, and the other of measles. There hare
been, also, a few cases of diphtheria, and two of erysipelas, and one
severe case of rhenmatic fever, besides several oases of pharyn^tis.
Altogether, there has been no year since my connection with this
Institntion in which I have made so many calls and prescriptions,
as during the past year ; yet there lias been no death from disease
or its seqnel. ijtill, I cannot say, as I have said for the last twelve
yean, " No death has occnrred." The death of one of the pnpils
last spring, was purely accidental. No blame can possibly rest on
aoy officer or employee of the Institution. The Matrons and Su-
perintendent have been watohfhl and energetic in their efforts to
provide for the health, comfort and general welfare of the pupils.
Respectfhlly sabmitted.

rKKDINO THB PIGBOHt— (A FICTUBB.)
I see a picture of a pretty little girl standing by a window. Her
name is Lucy. She is feeding her little pigeons. She is very liind
to them every day, and never forgets to feed them. She feeds them
every morning, noon, and night. She is very fond of her pigeons.
See how tame they are ! One of them spreads its wiugs out and
looks as if it would fly on Lucy's shoulder. They do not seem to
be afraid ; they love her very much ; they perch on the window sill
every morning, when she comes to feed them. I see Lucy has
golden hair, tied back with blue ribbon. She has a pretty smile on
ber face. I see an ivy climbing over the window. Lucy has a bas-
ket in her hand out of which she feeds the pigeons. I love pigeons
very much. I think it is a pretty picture.

A OOLD sroKH.
A few years ago, it was very cold. A farmer told my brother
that he most go to Worthington early in tbe morning. He had two
email oxen. He had a small sled. He put on a yoke on the oxen's
necks. He went to Ihe city with faia oxen and aled. It was some
warm. He tied his oxen to a sled. He went into tbe store. He
bought some flour, coflee and sugar. By-and-by it was very
windy. The wind blew tbe snow about ao the people could
not ste the houses. He wished to go home. The merchant sud
that he must stay till next morning. He would not stay there.
The merchant thought that he would be ftozen. He did not think
80. Ho went to his oxen. He got in his sted, but he could not see
the road. He could not see his home. He rode sway. He could
not find his hpme. He took the oxen out of the aled and let tbem
go. The sled stayed there. He walked away. He waa very cold.
By-and-by he waa frozen on the small lake. In three days the wind
did not blow. • Hy brother saw something black in tbe road one or
two miles away. My brother thought that it waa a man's sled. My
brother wished to see the things. My brother went to the things
and found tbe sled. The man was out of the sled. Uy brother
looked for him and found the oxen on the ice. They were ftozen.
Again my brother looked for him, bnt he could not find him. An-
other man found him on the ice.

phera, and they MI sat down in the green, aweet grass, lliey snng,
and flew to the high, tall treaa, where they made nests Tor their
yoaog onee. I sometimes saw the birds fly from the trees to tha
ground and pick up hairs and straws and oatry them ap on the
trees. Iliere the old birds built a nest on the great tall tree, where
I could only see a little of it, because they made it so high that ttie
bad boys could not see it, for the birds are sometimes afraid of the
boys. They often thought what they should do with their nests to
save them from the robbers. Last year I found a lark's nest on
the ground. It was very little, but it was beautiful. I saw lour
speckled eggs in it. When the lark came flying in the air she saw
me, but I did not take the eggs from the nest, and I walked easy
troia it. When she was in her neat I walked back and looked la
it. The lark saw me and she flew out, but she did not fly away.
She flew over her nest and looked at me. I walked away from it|
and the lark flew back to her nest. When I came home I told my
brotlier about the nest. He said it was a pretty neat and he would
go and get it. Itoldhin: if he found the nest he must not take the eggs
from it. He promised and walked away. Canary birds are very
nice and beautiful. We often keep them in cages in our rooms.
Miss T. had some pretty canary birds which she kept in a small
cage. She gave the little birds crackers and sometimes the deaf
dumb boys looked at the pretty birds, but Miss T. did not like it,
and she was sometimes cross to them.

Once a man thongbt how to catch a lion. He got a good horse
that could run fast. He rode on hla horse, to go into the woods,
to look for a lion. By and by, be saw two young cubs. He
got down and went near them. Before be took ttiem he looked to
see if a llOnesB was not coming. Then he took them. He got upon
bis horse with them In his arms. He rode very faat. While he was
riding away the lioness came to the same place and saw them gone.
Bbe chased the man who stole them, by smelling on the gronad on
which he rode on his horse, and she ran toward him. By and by he
turned bis head to look at her rnnning toward him. He was afraid
that she would catch him and tear him in pieces. He was obliged to
drop one of the cubs. She came to carry it to the same place with
ber month. She put it down ; but she did not chase him again.
He thought that she would come again. He rode very fast. He
escaped to reach home. When be kept the cub after it was full
grown, he put him in a strong iron cage so that he could not get
away. Every day he liked to feed him some raw meat that he loved
to eat. Often some people came to look at him. They knew that
the lion was stronger than any otber animal. He is sometimes called
the *' King of Beasts," Iwcause be can tear a large bnll in pieces.

TBE SHEPBRRD AND HIS DOO.
Some years ago a shepherd had a great flock of sheep. He was a
good shepherd. He had a pretty large dog. 'X'he shepherd loved
bim very much. The shepherd had a little sweet child. His name
was Charlie. The dog loved the child very mnch. The dog played
with the child. One morning it was a beautiful day. The child
said, " Oh 1 papa, may I go with you tp take care of the sheep?"
Tlie shepherd eaid, '' Yes, my child, yon may go with me." His
wife put a red frock and a hood on the child. The child was two
years old, snd it was proud. The shepherd look the child on his
arm. The child said, " Good bye, my dear mamma." The (Aild
kissed its mamma, and the shepherd went away and drove his sheep.
The dog followed the sheep. The child was very glad when they
were on the hill. The child played with the dog. The shepherd
sang. The child liked to hear its father sing. The child was
pleased on the hill. It began to be dark. The shepherd counted

ANOIZMT XSa HODERM TIUBS.
How surprised would our forefathers be if they could know what
simple things we regard their mechanics and farm implements. It
was only a few hundred years ago when the only plows possessed
by men were crooked trees cut up in some shape fit to turn over
sods. That was - a very poor contrivance indeed. There is a
vast difierence l)etween ancients and moderns. Now-a-days every
farmer finds machines convenient to hie use on a farm in every city
in the Union, and can obtain them, if able to purchase them. Bat
in olden times a farmer could go through a large city and find not
one farm implement fur sale lit for his use in tilling the soil. Now-
a-days a man can readily obtain things convenient to the enjoy-
ment of life, while in ancient times a man's scanty hoard would be
sufficient to obtain his daily necissaries. Farmiiig was known
among the ancients, but they only lacked the skill to invent such
useful things as we have, or they regarded farming as an inferior
business, and had littleor no interest in it. A few hundred years
ago women used to sit up half the night by a wick candle, plying
their needle to and fio, sewing, and it seemed an awful big Job for
them to do. But now-a-days a woman can sew as easy as she can
rock a cradle. Our forefathers used to travel by means of stages,
and never thought of a more convenient method of traveling. But
now it is far different. A man can go as far now-a-days in on*

ABODT m LIFE.
Well, I am going to tell you about my life. When I was a child,
I did not know many things. I remember I lived with my parents
and sister, at home. I did not know bow many people lived on the
nice of the earth. I was a deaf and dumb girl, bo I did not know
how to talk, and could not speak to my sisters ; but I did not un-
derstand it or get trouble from it. Uy mother sometimes felt bad,
or cried for me. I looked at her and wondered what she said, for I
was deaf and dumb. I told her that I did not feel badly, but I had
a good time because I loved my sister, when, sometime, I would be
happy to play with her. I thought that I was the only deaf and
dumb girt in the world, because there was nobody deaf and dumb
among our neighbors. I never looked at one of the mate boys or
girls before I came here to school. I did not know my name, or
what were the different names of the animals, and persons, and
things in the world, because I never learned anything at school be-
fore; I tliought that the sun seemed to be red fire. I supposed
that another new sun was going above the earth every day. I
thought that the moon bad no body, but only its face was shown to
the people. It was alive because it could move in the sky. The
night was so dark on the earth when the full moon was in the
heaven. I was surprised to look at it. going very slowly, as if it
was looking at me. I was frightened that it chased me, and it al-
ways followed me in going every way. Often I hid behind one of
the bushes, or the house, but they could not help me. I thought
that it could follow somebody everywhere. Many sparkling stars
were in the heavens, shining with great beauty. They seemed to be
fire, because many red sparks were like them. I was surprised to
look at the sparks which often flew faster and faster everywhere.
I did not know wbat to make of them. I thought that the earth
seemed to be a great plain ; but I did not think who made it. I
loved my mother because she always took care of me and my sister.
When she had been very sick, I was mad at somebody becaose I
thought he would kill her ; but I wished her always to live, many
long years. My sister warned me not to be mad at him. I did not
know about God. I knew before, that persons must die. When I
was a little girl, I never torgot about this. I remember because she
said that they must die. I did not know about tite Sabbatb day. It
seemed to me that it was the same as other days ; but my sister told
me not to work on that day. I often went to church ; then the priest

Btndy things. TeacLera taaght me the names of aaimala, etc. I
mingled with the papils, who told nte many new things by signs.
1 had never studied before ; but now the world seems to be better
than ten years ago, because I know the difference better between
right and wrong, and I can read and know about what happens in
tiie world. Also I have learned to know God and love Him. We
thank God so much for helping us to improve our minds and hearts.
We wonder that He can make everything so pleasant for us, and
provide so mueh for our happiness. We mnst try to show our grati-
tude to God by being kind to others and helping them all we can.
Fifteen papils are going to graduate to-day. We all feel sorry to
separate from each other. We cannot hope that we will meetf^ain
on the earth, but sometime we hope that we shall meet HBaia in
heaven.

Friendship is the attachment or affection of one person for an-
other. Friendship is the attribute of a noble mind.
What a great blessing it is to have many friends and no enemies.
Wlien in affliction we have sympathy, in trouble wc are comforted,
in danger we are defended and saved, and in sickness we are oaie-
fViUy nursed, and all oar wants attended to.
The rich have more friends than the poor, for the rich have wealth.
When a man is wealthy he is sure to be surrounded by many pro-
fessed friends, who will stand by him as long as his money lasts.
When the money disappears and. be becomes iioor, they also dioap-
pear, and do not remember their wealthy friends of former days.
They are false friends.
Every one of us needs iViends, for it is a )i;reat comfort to be en-
circled by friends, in whom we' can trust fearlessly and without hes-
itation. What a paradise this would be, if there was no enmity.
Without friends we would be wretched.
How sad is the lot of a young man who comes a stranger to a
large city to engage in some business. He has no one to take him
by the hand and be his friend . In his leisure hours he seeks ftieiids
and pleasure in doubtful places of amusement. Here he is wel-
comed by those servants of ^atan, who profess to be his friends, hut
who lead him on from one sin to another, till he is mined body and
soul. How thankful we should be that we have kind and loving
friends in whom we can trust.
I once read a story of a man who had no friends ; be committed
some crime ; be was cost into a dork dismal cell into which the sun
never shown. He was alone and very sad. One day he saw a rat
in the corner of his cell eating some of his food ; the man got up
and tried to eatch il, but it escaped into its hole. After a few days
the rat became bolder and found out that the man did not waut to
barm it ; they became fast friends, and ate together out of the same
dish. One day the man found his tViend lying sick in the corner

preached to the people a,botit God, bat I did not anderstuid what
he said, because' I could not hear. But I came here and began to
where be dret eaw it He took it up and nursed it as carefully as if
it was bifl child, but the rat died and the criminal wept over it, and
aeked permission to bury his heat friend. This story shows that
even wicked and depraved people possess some affection.
Most animals possess some d^ree of affection. We have all seea
how carefully a hen watches over her chickens ; how she gathers
them under her winga when she thinks there is any danger.
We should endeavor to make as many friends as we can and as
few enemies — we should never exchange the old, faithful and well
tried ftiend for a new one.

Culture of land is necessary in order to make it produce grain
and vegetables for our food. It would be folly and nastefulness to
BOW grain on ground that has not been plowed and dr^ged. And
OS much as land needs culture, so does the body, mind and heart of
man, A good, sound body is conducive to happiness and prosper-
ity, as it enables a man to labor to supply hia wants. In order to
have it, he should cultivate regular habits and right principles,
which contribute to perfect health. And to become wise and nsenil
members of society, the mind must be cultivated. Tiiia, in a great
measure, devolves upon tbe parents and teachers of children and
youth ; for, while young, tbe mind is active, and learning is mnch
easier than at a more advanced age. For this purpose schools have
been established throughout all civilized lands. How vastly dif-
ferent is the condition of civilized people fVom that of savages, who
have no kind of cultivation. They can scarcely supply themselves
with food to keep from starvation ; but when missionaries are sent
among them, they (the missionaries) open schools and commence
the cultivation of mind and heart, aud teach them the art of cutti*
vating their land, and the benefit it will be to them to labor. Grad-
ually they become an intelligent, prosperous people, if they are so
disposed.
Most important of all is the culture of the heart. Seeds of evil,
-sown by Satan are constantly springing up, and we should maintain
a constant warfare to keep them down, and in their stead cultivate
virtues. This also should be commenced at an early age, foi' then
tbe heart is so tender that impressions for either good or evil nre
easily made and are more effectual than those made in later life ; also
faith is stronger. What Is more perfect than the faith of a little
child?
During tbe post seven years we have been here for the purpose of
cultivating our minds and hearts, for which our officers and teach-
ers have labored arduously. "Time which waits for no man," has
brought these years to a close, and our oppoitunities here are ended.
For the last time we will express our thanks to those who have
labored for us, and bid them farewell.

Dear Schoolmatet :
We hope that you who are to return will improve your opportu-
nities to the best of your abilities, and prepare yourselves to fight
the battles of life when your turn cornea. The sad event which so
recently deprived us of one of our number should warn us all to

Hon, Cuthman K. Davit, Oovemor •
YouB ExCKLLENCT : — I have the honor to transmit herewith, in
Mcordance vith law, my report as Commissioner of Statistics for
the year 1875. Its main parts are the agricultural and vital statis-
tics, the balance of the report being lessened by the necessity for
its early conclnsios owing to the change of administration at New
Tear, when my term of office will expire.
During my Commissionership of not quite four years, commen-
cing March 6, 1872, five of the seven annual reports of the present
fleries have been compiled and published, my first duty upon taking
charge of the bureau In 1672 being to make the third annual report,
embracing the agricultural statistics for the year 1870. The pro-
gress since that time made in one of the principal classes of im-
provementB — in securing early statlstica, — is partly indicated by
the date and contents of the present report, which, while made be-
fore the close of the year 1875, gives the final statements regard-
ing ^riculture in 1874 and complete returns of acreages in each
crop in the current year 1875. More accurately, the progress in
this direction ia shon n by the fact that a comparative table, giving
ftall returns by counties of the acreages under each of the main
crops in 1875, together with final statements of acreages and yields
in 1874, was published in the newspapers of the state and tele-
graphed abroad already on August 25th, 1875.
While in charge of the office it has been my constant endeavor to
interest local officers in the important part of the statistical duties
assigned to them, and with good results as regards the character
of the returns no leas than as to the time of making them to this
ofBcB. In addition to a large correspondence with the county audi-
tors, I have communicated direct with the assessors (over 800 Id

nnmber), have received letters flrom perhaps t msjoritfof them
concerning Uie year's work and been gratified to find a yearly in.
creasing number of officers impressed with a sense of Uie utility or
correct statistics. The retams sre now comparatively fall and ac-
curate, every town is returned, and with ftw exceptions a state-
ment taken for every farm in the town.
In reference to a third class of improvements, the extension or
statistical inqairy to new and special subjects, only a beginning ha»
been made, but with proper management the burean will in this re-
spect be capable of rendering valuable future service to the state.
The subject of tree-planting on our prairies having for some time
claimed the attention of the Legislature and the press, statistics show-
ing the extent and location of plantings already made were collected
and published In the report for 1874. The ravages of graashoppers
continuing to affect the agricultural interest in the western counties,
separate statements on the area affected and the amount of loss bus-
tuned were this year called for and will he found in the present re-
port. The list of other subjects annually treated of has gradually
increased, and the registered births and deaths for the years 1871,
1872, 187S and 1874 have been careAilly compiled and shown under
the various subdivisions of nativity, parent-nativity, sex, ages and
death-caases, the first such showing under state authority in Uin-
nesota being the vital statistics published in my first report.
In addition to the Above, quite an amount of work has been done
in the way of answers to iudividaal calls for statistica on specified
subjects, the tendency being to regard the office as a sort of bureau
of reference, with the duty to possess or to collect and give infor-
mation on the past history or present condition of any branch of
Minnesota afliiicB, in which inquiring parties at home or abroad may
be interested.
When this report is called the seventh of the present series, ref-
erence is bad to the earlier attempts by the state to collect and
publish statistical information. A bureau of statistics was first
created and as a sepwate department, by a law ol February, 1860,
and under it two reports, embracing statistics for the years 1859,
1860 and 1861, were published by Hon. Joseph A. Wheelook, now
editor of the St. Paul Pioneer-Press, who had been appointed Com-
missioner. The statistical details collected at that early day were
necessarily very incomplete and inaccurate, not excepting . the re-
turns of the United States Census which was taken at the time,
and only a statistieian can appreciate the difficulty then of collect-
ing materials and of making a creditable exhibit of the state's re-
JigiLizedbyGoOgle

I, condition and progress with the materials collected. Bat
-owing partly to the absence of any previooa compilation of aacb data
and still more to the author's ability and personal knowledge on the
eabject-matters, these reports proved very valuable. Political com-
plications caused the repeal of the law after the publication of the
•econd report, and the civil and Indian wars subsequently eagrossing
the attention of the people, Mr. Wheelock's reports long remained
the only sources of information of a wider range on the condition
-of oar main interests. The demand for such information caused
the offhring, in 1861, by act of the Legislature, of prizes for es-
says "setting forth the advantages which this state offers to im-
-"migrants and giving usefnl information with r^aid to the state."
The pablished essays drew largely upon Mr. W.'s work and could
give no later statistics on the cultivated areas and yields than those
published by him in 1861. In 1666 a clause was inserted in the
revision of the statutes of that year providing for the annual ool-
lectioh of agricaltural etatistics (Sec. 71, Ch. 11, Rev. Stat.) The
county auditors were to furnish blanks to the assessors and, when
returns were made to them, make oat and forward the same to the
Auditor of State. Under this law, returns of acreages and products
were made for the years 1865, 1866 and 1867, and a tabulated sum-
mary published in the State Auditor's reports. Bat that state of-
iicer not having the anthority or duties of a chief of a bareaa of sta-
tistics, and the assessors' duties not being clearly defined, this at-
tempt proved a complete failure. The Auditor's comments on the first
retnrns pablished by him, were that " as it was nowhere made the
" duty of the assessors to collect such information, they very gen-
-"erally neglected it or made very imperfect returns. Stateusent
*^ G. diowB the returns made, but owing to their imperfectness it is
. '* worthless as a state document. It Is very essential that the true
" productions of the soil should be known, and for that purpose
'* the law ought to be very definite and exacting, and a strict com-
** pliaoce of all officers required".
The improvement thus recommended was finally made in the
form of a new law, passed March 4, 1869, reviving the statistical
commission, with the Assistant Secretary of State as ez-offlclo Com-
missioner, the Hon. Pennock Pnsey, a gentleman of literary ability
And familiar with statistics, being then Assistant Secretary of
State. The assessors under the supervision of the county auditors
were made the principal collectors of facts ; the registry and retnrn
of births and deaths by the town clerks and county clerks of courts
were provided for ; and in addition thereto the Commissioner was
zedbyGoOt^lc

empowered " to address general or Hpeoi&I inquires, with printed
" instnictious and blanks for answers, or otherwise at his discretioor
" to any state, district, coanty, city or town ofQcer," and it WM made
" the daty of such offioer to answer fhlly and promptly such general
"or special qaestions as ma/ be addressed to them by said Com-
*' missioner on all matters of information which can be gathered
" fVom docnments or records in their official keeping." Mr. Pnsey
made two interesting reports, embracing agricultural statistics fi>r
the years 1668 and 1809, and statiatica of manufactures aad popn-
lation compiled from the U. S. Census of 1870, a summary of wbicb
was also embodied in a pamphlet on the state compiled by him for
the State Board of Immigration. For the immediate success of the
new system it would perhaps have been as well if the three prece-
ding years' worthless returns had not been mode, the assessors hav-
ing gradually to unlearn the habit once acquired of regarding their
statistical work with indifference, and the people gradually to rid
themselves of a consequent distrust of the returns. However, the
attractive and skillful treatment of subjects in Mr. Posey's two re-
ports at once won a reputation for the bureau which at least the ef-
forts to secure accurate information have since done nothing to dis-
credit. With this glance at the past history and transactions of
the statistical office, such action on the part of the Legislatare and
the Executive is respectfully recommended as will best serve the
purpose of the law.
The defects of the law now mostly felt, are :
1.) In regard to the tiraefor making agriettlturai retuma to tki»
office. Early in the season to give information on the past year's
results and the current year's agriculture is the means to make the
agricultural statistics of practical value to our owa farmers and basi-
nesp men. This has thus far been accomplished by personal appeals
of the Commissioner to the county auditors and by construing sec*
tlon 2 of the act of 1870 so as to permit the Commissiimer nnder it to
request the assessors to send him advanced copies of their town re-
turns, for which extra blanks and stamped envelopes with printed
address were furnished the assessors. The law does not reqnin
agricultural returns to be made to the Commissioner before Decem-
ber 1st, and should be amended to authorize the Commissioner to
fix the time for the return of statements.
i.) Jtespectivg the collection of Manufacturing and ComtMnial
Statistiet. Information showing the condition and progress of thase
rapidly growing interests cannot be collected without a more of-
JigiLizedbyGoOglc
AmniAL BEPOBT. T
fBcUve proviaion of law than the one now in force, nnder which it.
haa been found Impossible to obtain the facte required by the law.
8.) With regard to the Eegittrs of Birlha and Deaths. There is no-
nfficient reason why the regiatry should not become complete and
accnrate. Instead of depending for this purpose mainly upon th»
Incentive of profit to the clerks in theformof fees, the law should be
so unended as to secure a general compliance on the part of parents-
and householders with the requirement to give notices to the clerks.
It shonld be made the duty of physloians, midwives, ministers of the
gospel and trustees and managers of cemetries to give like notices.
To (tartber secure completeness and accoracy, the returns of the town
olerka should not be accepted by the clerks of courts or their fees
pud nntil the following conditions bad been complied with : a.) the
returns should be carefblly and legibly written, so that names and
figures might be easily read and correctly copied ; b.) the town clerks-
should make sworu afSdavita to the effect that they had conscien-
tionsly performed their duties ander the law to the best of their
knowledge and ability, that original r^ietries existed in their offices.
as required by law, and had been carefully kept, and that their re-
turns had been oarofnUy compared with and were full and true coples-
of ancb originals. Similar affidavits should accompany the returns-
of the olerks of courts to the Commissioner of Statistics, and this
officer's acceptance in proper form of the returns be required by the
count; auditing officer before allowing the clerk's fees. In the
titles of St. Fanl, SClnneapolla, and perhaps other places, a reduction
of the cost of recording and returning deaths (not births) might be
made by consolidating the two systems for obtaining the facts aa
already suggested in a former report. A full record of deaths is
kept in these cities by the health officer, who is paid by the city, and
a similar record by the city clerk, who is paid by the county. In
1871 the ooonty of Ramsey thus paid $165.00, and the county of
Hennepin $150.00 for records of which duplicates at the same time
were kept and paid for by the cities. The purpose of the law evi-
dently does not require the expense of two public registries In
the same place, and a satisfactory amendment reducing the cost-
to taxpayers may easily be framed. Indeed, the whole system
of registry may be simplified. It requires now a town, a county,
and a state record of the same facts.
4. The Legislature should provide a small contingent for the dis-
tribution of about one thonsand copies of the Commissioner's re-
port by m^ to newspapers, societies and individaids m other

the percentage in wheat was relatively small, and the producUon
of breadstuffs still insufflcieat for home consumption. The great

The valuation of crops in 1875 i8 based upon the average prices
in the interior of the state after the close of navigation, and the
valnation for 1860 upon ilr. Wheetoclc's report for that year. The
fact that the census years 1860, 1870 and 1875 were all good agri-
oultural years renders them particularly suitable for comparisons.
It should, however, be observed how different the percentages of
ftcreage in wheat, oats and corn in 1860 are from the percentages
In same crops in 1875, wheat, yielding a smaller number of ba-
shels per acre but a lai^er money value, occupying a roach larger
percentage of the area in 1875 than in the former year. Propor-
tioned as in 18G0 the acreages in these three cropa alone would in
1875 have produced more than 64,000,000 bushels of grain, bat
nevertheless of smaller valae in our market towns than the 91}
millions bushels of wheat and 25J millions bushels of oats and
<orn that were produced. The statement of value of crops com-
pletes the comparison.

tbe main portions of it being fertile prairies and timber openings
with belts of hard wood timber of no larger extent tiian required
for fnel and building purposes and here and there drainable over-
flowed lands of good quality. The surveyed part west of tbe Uis-
oissippi extending north to the Northern Pacific Railroad and inclu-
ding the counties of Becker and Clay embraces over 24 millions of
acres or nearly one half of the state. This ^is one uninterrupted
mass of excellent prairies, openings and belts of bard wood tim-
ber, watered^by numorous smaller water courses and interspersed
with thousandB of beanti(\il lakes. Of this vast extent of country
only one-half is as yet included in the acreage in private bands
and less than one-third in the acreage in farms. Even at Uie pres-
ent ratio of farms to lands in private hands there is here room
for 45,000 new farms of the present average size on the acreage not
yet in private hands or in any way occupied. Add to this number
tbe increase resulting from the yearly increasing occupancy of wild
lands in private bands as farms, from the settlement of that lai^
percentage of good agricultoral lands lying north of Clay uid
Becker and of the smaller percentage of arable lands in the northeast-
em part of the state, and tbe number of additional farms of present

The retnrns to the Commissioner of Statistics concerning the
year 1875 were made too early to include fbll statements of grass-
hopper ravages during the current year ; and a commission having
been appointed by the Governor to examine more fully into the
wbole subject of grasshopper incursions into Minnesota, ng at-
tempt hss been made by the Commissioner of Statistics to gather
Inforqiatlon unofficially as to the area visited or loss sustained in
1875. A report made by the State Grasshopper Commissioners indi-
cates that of the 28 counties reporting losses in 1874, the crops in 11
were not disturbed by grasshoppers in 1875, viz. : Clay, Faribault,
Grant, Lac qui Parle, Polk, Otter Tail, Rock, Stevens, SwiR, Wil-

Weather Statement. The season of 1674 was unfavorable to the
proJuetion of good crops. The winter of 1873-4, while quite
moderate in temperature, extended far into the spring season, the
month of March being unusually cold, with a mean temperature
lower than any March but four in sixteen years, and the only great
snow storm of the winter occurring in that month. April was the
coldest since 1859, and the ice slow to leave the ground. At St.

«ighteen years. No snow fell and but a small amoaat of rain,
resalting in a spring drought continued to the middle of May, and
-especially damaging to grain on spring plowing. The latter month
vas more favorable dnring the last half, bnt preceded a summer of
greater warmth than any in sixteen years, with a greater amount
of rain in June than in any mouth during the past seventeen years,
And a degree of heat and drought in July that in most places
greatly rednced the yield of all crops. Complaints of ntst on the
wheat were freqnent, especially affecting the Odessa, Oran and
Osakls varieties, of which in some localities, as for instance Blae
Garth county, a larger area had been sown, measurably reducing
the yield in the latter connty. Por corn, the year was compara-
tively good until August, when a drought in the most critical period
of the growth of this cereal, when Uie kernels were filling, serionsly
impaired the yield on a large portion of the area. In the course
of the summer damaging hail-storms occurred in Donglaa, (destroy-
ing one-half of the crops in the town of Drness), in Goudhne, Le-
Sueur, McLeod, Meeker, Otter Tail, Pope, Winona, Wright and other
«oiuitiea.

Taking each of tbe gr&sahopper counties separately, the actual
jield and estimated loM added togetJier would equal the following
average jtelds per acre, omitting fractions of average yield: 11
bushels per acre in Stevens ; 12 in Lyon, MoLeod ; 18 In Martin ;
14 in Chippewa, Lincoln, Otter Tail, Sibley; -16 in Blue Earth, Fan-
banit, Jackson, Mnrra;, RenviUe, Swift, Watonwan, Yellow Medi-
dna; 16 in Cottonwood, Lac qui Farlo, Wilkiu; 17 in Browiy
Noblea, Redwood; 18 In Becker, Bock; 19 in Nicollet. These
avwages exceed the true amount of yield and loss In Bedwood and
Benville and perhaps slightly in Brown, Nicollet and Noblee.
In some cases farmers failed to consider tbe effects of drought and
hail-storms but attributed all of the reduction below a normal erop-
to grasshoppers, the resolt being over-estimates of loss fi:x)iii graas-
boppers. For Brown and Nicollet tbe amount of over-estimate ts
trifling, judging from yields in districts not visited by grasehoppera,
while for Nobles tbe losses are returned as over-estimates in some oases
and nnder-estimates in others. For Bedwood and ReuvUlc togeth-
«r the over-estimates ma; aggregate flrom 60,000 to 80,000 bushels.

24 STATISTICS OF HINHB80TA.

retams a jiifltd of 460,189 bushels on 28,S3S acres or 1G.21 bnahela
p«r acre for nine towns not visited by grassbopperB ; while for 15
towns thns Tisited, return is made of 480,458 bnshels harvested and
182,400 bushels lost on 44,B97 aorea, which, adding loss to harvest-
ed product, woold equal only 14.76 bnshels per acre for the 15 towns,
rather indicating an nnder-eBtimate of loss in that county. Taking
the returns as a whole, the amonnt of over-estimate may be
assumed to be comparatively insigniflcant, when allowance is made
for omissions of loss-estimates from the statements. Aside
ttom grasshoppers crops were heavier in the counties west of the
Uinnesota tiian farther east and the low lands of the sonth-
west better able to wiUistand the effects of the drought than Uw
fields on the ridge-farms near the Missiasippi, hence the averi^,
adding loss to harvested yield, was possibly qnite as good in the

The returns of grasshopper injury to barley are the totals of
smaller and leaa determinable quantities than the sUttemenla of tiie
■ame class concerning wheat, oats and com, and for this reason
naturally less accurate than the latter. The same remark will iqtply
to like returns for other products of minor importance. A oareM
examination of the town reports shows the returned loss of bariaj
to be greatly overestimated, and the figures substituted in tbe fbl-
lowing table are believed to be a nearer approach to the qoanttty
really lost on the damped acreage :

hoppers, fourteen raised a crop of rye, the yield being
4,490 bushels rye on 824 acres, a greater averi^e yield
than In the remainder of the state; while twelve of these four-

The culture of flax as a product occupying any considerable po^
Uon of the tilled area, is of recent date in Uinnesota, and this plant
is as yet raised mainly for the seed, the fibre being generally burned
in the fields. The establishment some years ago of linseed oil
worlts of considerable capacity in Blue Earth county, indaced the
assignment of a relatively large acreage to flax in the sonUiweitem
counties, and more than 54 per cent, of the flax acreage of the state
in 1874 were in these counties. The southwest being the favorite
•camping gronnd of the grasshopper, flax Qelds suffered in propor-
tion. Adding the more northern grasshopper counties, 61 per cent,
■of the breadth assigned to flax were in the districts visited by these
insect-pests. The returns of grasshopper injory to flax are incom-
"plete, owing to the fact that no separate flax statements of this
«lass were called for. Hence six counties return 2,445 acres with a
total yield of only 1,957 bushels, and no estimate of loss. Estima-
ting the loss on this acreage at an average of eight bushels per acre,
■or 17,608 bushels, minus the stated yield of 1,957 bushels and ad-
■ding the same to the injured acreage and loss returned, the state-
taent for the grassbopper counties is as follows :

Wben late in the sixties tbo raising of hops saddenly grew to kd

breadth of 457 acres in bops, and a proiiuct of 264,789 pound*'
The hop excitement, however, soon subsided, neither tiie acreage nor
the j'ield of auy aubaequent year reached tlie above figures, and the
crop of 1874 is the amailest of all recorded. The retarns, at least
of acreage, are necessarily inaccurate, hop-patches being too fre-

Of the connties reporting agricnltoral products, only Carlton and
Lake make no return of growing apple trees, hence it may be said
that virtually every agricultural county in the state hoe made a
beginning in apple culture.
Of the counties reporting apple trees growing, all return also
trees in bearing except Big Stone, Kanabec, Lac qui Parle, Lin-
coln, LyOD, Rock, Stevens, Swift and Wadena. Kanabec is not an
agricultural county, and the remaining seven yet too new to have
trees in bearing to report.
Of those reporting apple trees in bearing, only elglit of the newer

Returns concerning grape-culture have been made only for the
two last years. The totals for 1874, 86,146 vines in bearing and
114,922 pounds grapes of cultivated varieties gathered, show a good
increase since the preceding year.
The strawberry crop of 1874 was greatly reduced by droogbl
throagboul the state, and by grasshoppers in the west. The re-
return of only 177,185 quarts ts, however, owing partly to incom-

RETURNS FOB lB7fi.
Ttie eDUmeratiOD by the tovDship aaseseors, upon vhich the agri'
caltar&l report is based, is made in the moDtha of May and JuDe,
while the crops of the current year arc yet grovring, and for thi»
reason embraces no returns of crops of the currant year, except a»
below stated, bnt only the acreages under each of snch crops, while
for the preceding year both yields and acreages of prodncts are
taken. Maple sugar and syrup being spring products, are returned
for the current year, as are also the number of apple trees growing
and in bearing, grape vines in bearing, the number of sheep and
amount of wool shorn, and the naraber of milch cows on fanns.
Aside from the items just named, all yields of produoia for the cur-
rent year 1873, as given in this report, are estimates made by the
Commissioner of Statistics on the baaie of the returned crop-acrea'
ges, private crop-reports, and estimates of grasshopper-injury tn
1875, the latter nirnished by the state grasihopper commiasloners.
The average as well as the aggregate production of most crops
was good in 1875, notwithstanding continued grasshopper inj'iries
in the west and a visitation during the wheat and oats harvest of ,»
aeries of those violent rain storms which throughout the country
canght the same crops in the harvcsUaeoaon, causing even greater
damage in a number of other states than in Minnesota. On the
main portion of the breadths assigned to wheat and oats, the yield
per acre was greater in 1875 than in any preceding year
since 1860, and the aggregate quantities harvested of these
grains were larger than ever before raised in the state.
Also of corn the product exceeded that of any former jear,
but in the case of this cereal owing entirely to an unusual en-
largement of acrea^. A bacltward spring, late frosts and grass-
hoi^pers made the season just passed one ol the poorest on record
for corn, the state-average per acre being the lowest in nine years.
But every county in the state largely increased its corn-acreage in
1875, and most of all the 28 western counties which had been vis-
ited by grasshoppers in 1874, so that while the cultivated area of
the whole state was increased not quite 11 per cent., the corn-acre-
age of the 28 counties grew 63.53 per cent, in 1875, and the corn-
acreage of the balance of the slate 33.85 per cent. The same move-
ment was observable to a lesser degree in some of the minor crops
zedbyGoOgle
60 STATI8TICB OF KINMBSOTA.
And generally wiUi better resuItB as to yields. The ordinary ratio
of increase in the wheat breadth was consequently leasened, the
acreage being 62.68 per cent, of the whole cnltivated area of Uie state
In 1875, against 66.25 per cent. In 1874. Judging from past expe-
rience) however, this change will not be permanent, the money raloe
per acre of wheat being ordinarily greater than that of other pro-
ducts thus far BuccessloUy raised, notwithstaDding the fact that the
valae to our farmers of wheat is reduced by the necessity for iU
export to distant markets, while the value of other grains is enluu-
ced by a constant home demand that even requires the importatioB
annually of large quantities fVom other states.
The acreage under each crop in 1875, and estimate of ytddi
thereon, will be found in the table on pages 10-11 of this reporb
Other summary statements of the returns of 1875 are iucladed En
the comparative summaries on pages 65 to 69. Compared with 1874
the cultivated area of the state in 1875 shows an increase of ST7,906
acres, or 10.94 per cent. It will be observed that a little more thu
one-flfth of this augmentation, or 55,733 acres, is in the 28 conntiei
returning losses from grasshoppers in 1874. Fully aware of tbi
earpaSBiog excellence of their lauds, and hoping for a speedy deliv-
erance Trom the Insect- plague, the severely -tried farmery of the 'lan-
ded setttements have shown the pluck and endurance of true west-
ern pioneers, and no farms have been abandoned except in a com-
paratively few cases, whore removals, temporary or permanent,
were compelled by extreme poverty. Indeed, the past year has wit-
nessed quite a considerable influx of new settlers into the very heart
of the infested regions, and there is no good reason to doubt that
ere long these districts will be among the largely grain prodacing
and prosperous portions of the state. The effects of the insect in-
vasion on the dimensions of the acreage under cultivation has thos
far been simply to diminish the ratio of annual increase, the increase
for 1875 in the whole state being 10.94 per cent., and in the coun-
ties not ravaged 11.80 per cent., while in the twenty-eight counties
invaded in 1874 the increase is 8.60 per cent. The increase, posi-
tive and comparative, in 1875 of cultivated acreages in these coon-
ties, is shown more fully in the subjoined comparative acreage taUe
for 1875 and 1874 :

three grains aggregatiDg 587,882 basheis, anii a loss per acre of
3.85 bushels leu of oats and 6.64 boBhels leas of corn, while the
loss in wheat is 0.51 bushels more per acre ia 1875 than in 1874.
As already showa, the field of grasshopper operations was con-
•iderably lessened, and also to a certain degree charged, in 1875,
the inaeota having disappeared in eleven of tbe twenty-eight coun-
tiea of 1874, and committed depredations in 1875 in three new cosn-
tieSt where late in the preceding year they bod appeared, depositing
ciggs but not materially damaging crops.

OlaMM^kation of Birtlu and D«cUht.—Tbtt births of 1870, the
deaths of 1670, and the births or deaths of an; sabaeqaent yfiar,
as spoken of in thia report, are births and deaths that occurred in
1870 or the sabseqnent year named. Births and deaths are regis-
tered in the year of their occurrence, and a year's returns comprise
the registered number of the birtiis and deattu ocourring in the
twelve months beginning January Ist and ending December 8l8t.
Tbe numbers of returned births and deaths for 1870, the first year
of registration, were published in the second annual report of the
barean by conaties without further dassiDcation. The returns for
1671, published in the third annaal report, were classified under
rarions heads, the births by connty, sex, twins, illegitimate and
principal parent nativities ; the deaths l^m nineteen of the prin-
lApai death-causes, by county, deathn^ause, sex, age and birth-place
as bom in the United States and bom in foreign and unknown coun-
tries. Tbe whole number of deaths was also classified by county,
sex and age. For the tabulation of the returns for 1872 new classi-
flcatiODs were adopted, showing in better form the parent nativities
(rf persons born, and including, aa to deaths, a very oontplete nos-
ol<^ similar to the arrangement of death-caasea in ose in Hassa-
oboMtls. Tbe tabulation of the retams for 1878 and 1874 Is
anif<mn with that for 1872.

BTATE CKM8U8 OF 1875.
Pursuant to sec. 28, art. IV of the constitution, ordaining that
the L^lslatnre efaall provide by law for the enumeration of the in-
habitants of the state in the year 1865 and every tenth year there-
after, an act approved March 9, 1875, provided for the enameration
of all peraons residing in the state on Hay 1, 1876. May 1st is Ibe
date of the annaal sssessment of taxable pr(q>erty bythe township
and city assessors, who, for the sake of economy, were made enn-
merators under the law. The law required the census to be taken
by sex, nativity, foreign parenb-nativity, namber of miUe inhabi-
tants over twenty-one years of age, number of families, namber of
blind, deaf and dumb, insane and persons of color. The schedules
as returned to the Secretary of State and compiled under his direc-
tion, show the following population :

The above figures do not, of coarse, represent the whole number
of persons who either by immigratioD or by birth became residents
of the state at any time during the four years and eleven months
oonatituting the Interval between the U. S. cenaaa of Jnne 1, 1870,
and the state census of May 1, 1875, but only such of those classes
who remjdaed and survived at the end of that period. The num-
ber of immigrants and of births exceed the above by tho number of
deaths in and removals from the state in the same. No sep-
arate immigration or emigration statistics exist, and the registra-
tion of bii'tbs ssd partly of deaths under the state law of 1870 ap-
pears by comparison with the census statements to be as yet rather
Incomplete. The whole number of births registered in the five
years 1870-75 was only 73,429, which, dedacting 12,708 regis-
tered deaths under five years, gives oaly 60,721 surviving births.
On the other baud, the fncrease shown by the state census In the
number of native Minnesotians (Vom June 1, 1870, to May 1, 1875,
is 79,468, which, sssumiiig the census to be correct, will represent-
the Mi number of births occurring in the intervening 4 years
11 months when there is added to it the number of those resident
native Mitmesotians of all ages, who In the same interval died
or removed from the state. As already observed, the number of
removals there is no means of ascertaining ; the deaths, however,
may be approximated tiom the number registered and fh)m the
rates of survivorship of children. The following tables show Che
number of native Mioneeotisiie hi the several census years, their
proportion to the whole population of the same ages and to deaths :

No published statlatics show the native MiaDeaotians by ages*
except as indicated in the foregoing table, neither the United Statea
nor the state cenana giving the natives of states by ages, though
the soheda lea of the state cen bob of 1875 contain the informalion
trom which sach age tables may be compiled. The native Minne-
Botiang of the following table are thoee of the column " Living in
Hinnesota," of the foregoing table. The basis of their separation
by age in periode of five years is the approximate ratio of increase
of births, one-third of the growth in a decade aince 1850 being as-
Higned to the first five years of the decade and two-thirds to the
second five. The death-colnmn shows the whole number of registered
deaths in Minnesota in five years since 1870 of persons of all classes
that at date of death were between five and thirty years of age. In the
table they are so connected with the population of 1870, that deaths
in 1870-1875 of persons at the age of 25-80 years, are charged u>
tbe population in 1870 between 20 and 25 ; deaths at 20-25 to pop-
ulation between 15 and 20 ; deaths at 15-20 to population between
10 and 15 ; deaths at 10-15 to population between 5 and 10 ; and
deatbs at 5-10 to population under 5.

Assuming tbe death rate among all classes of the same age to be
the same. It appears from the foregoing table that about 2,400 of
the deaths since 1670 between 5 and 80, must have occurred among
natives of Minnesota boru before 1870. Adding these to the in-
crease shown by the state census, the number of surviving births is
61,856. It is tbe experience of European countries that in order to
a son ivorship of 1 Oo at tUe end of a year, there should have been
born 109 to 113. Our ovn sute returns for three years, 1872-74,
give 5,326 deaths under 1 year to a total of 60,021 births, or 44,696
flurriving births, being 112 born to each 100 survivors. They also
show that to 100 deaths under 1 year, there are 55 24 deaths of tbe
age 1 to 5 years. On this ba^is the num'ier of births, as inferred
^m the state census, was as follows :

Tke foregoing table accounts for all deaths under five years of
age, and on the bosia of established rates of deaths to snrvivon.
The namber of roistered deaths in the four years 1871-74, were
22,697, of which 10,350 nnder 5. Adding the returns of the mid-
tile year, 1872, to represent the tl months Jane l-December
SL, 1870, and January 1-Uay 1, 187fi, the whole number of
registered deatiu for the i years 11 months will be 27,826, of
which 12,706 nnder 5. The latter numl>er is 2,287 lees than the
namber under 5 deduced ftom tbe rates of survivorship in the above
birtli table. The deficiency in the death-returns concerning older
persbns may be assumed to be comparatively less, from the fact that
the smaller deatb-rate, and the attention attracted by deaths of
older persons, enable the town clerks to obtain a fuller registry.
In ventres of popniation, as St. Paul and Minneapolis, the record-
ing of deaUis is a pro-requisite to burial, contributing materially to
s complete r^stration. Accepting, therefore, the returns of reg-
istered deaths at five years and over as measurably correct, and
distributing deaths of unknown nativity proportionally among the
native and foreign, the showing is as follows :

INSURANCE COMMISSIONER'S
REPORT.
P^RT I .
FIRE AND MARINE INSURANCE.
In presenting the Fourth Annnal Report of thiB department, it is
gratifyiDg to be able to note the general prosperity of the fire insur-
ance interests, not only of the State of Minnesota, but of the country
at large. It ia perhaps not too much to say that the insurance bnai-
oess and the ineumnce interests of the United States were never
better in hand or tmder better management, than at the present
time. Although great and fVequent fires, during the last four years,
have swept the country, destroying Tillages, towns and cities — pro-
perty valued at millions upon millions of dollars — the immense dam-
age thus inflicted npon the country la loss of property and derange-
ment of business, has not been without a salutary effect upon the
insurance companies. As a science, insurance is probably better
understood than ever before, and as a business it is better defined
and conducted on more clearly understood business principles. In-
surance companies have been taught by the experience of recent
years the necessity of preparii^ in time of prosperity for adversity —
of laying by for emergencies, good, strong reserves, to be called
upon when the ordinary resources — those, for instance, which bring
companies within the usual standard of legal safety, as regulated by
the laws of the several States — have been completely exhausted.
Stockholders have learned, and are learning, what is manifestly true,
ttkat it is their interest, as well as the safely of the assured, that
heavy reserves be muntained, even at the expense of large divi-
dends during the period required to accumulate them, for with strong
reserves comes a confidence which begets business and wins at once
tiie favor and patronage of the public.

6 ASVVAL BEFORT.
That 1874 wm not withoat ita destrnctive Area, ample evidence Ik
borne b; Chicago, Oshkoah, Cleveland, Richmond and other citiea
Md towns ; ^et the year, all in all, has been one of anuBnal proe-
perity to insurance oompaniea. The ontlook at the beginning of the
year was not at all fovor&ble. nndervriters had. learned by experi-
ence that during times of general business depression, the propor-
tionate losses to insurance companies were much greater than when
more favorable conditions existed — in other words, that more of the
iniured property of the country, as a rule, bmmed daring periods of
" hard times " than when general prosperity prevailed — and were
therefore deeply concerned. The unfavorable conditions which ex-
isted at the banning of the year continued throughout, but tJie
result of the year's business, instead of fhlfilling the predictions of
those who founded their hflh on experience, was exceedingly favor-
able, showing a large decrease of tosses, and a consequent increase
In the aaaeta held by the companies, and in dividends paid by them
to their stockholders.
" In considering the business of 1874," says President Oakley, in
his recent address to the National Board of Fire Underwriters, " we
are met at the outset with a result so difibrent from that of former
years, that we are called upon to instigate close and careful scrutiny
into the causes which have proddced it. The year, as is well known
to all, has not been one of success or encouragement to either mer-
cfaants or manufacturers, those two great representative classes from
whom we derive so large a share of our patronage, while the agricul-
turist has been barely compensated for bis outlay ; for although the
crops have been abundant, & lack of market and low prices have
resulted in but moderate profits ; then, again, we had to contend
wiUi a large shrinkage in the value of real property as compared
with former years. Under similar circumstances heretofore we have
had to look for diminished profits to the capital employed in fire
insurance."
But the question which most interests the people is not so much
whether this or that insurance company makes or loses money,
whether it prospers or faUs, but whether at least a partial preventive
cannot be found to the constantly recurring fires which, year by year,
are sweeping away and annihilating so much of the accumolated
wealth of the country. This is a question worthy the earnest atten-
tion of the political economist and the statesman.
In the last report of this department it was stated on the authority
of the Insurance Commissioner of New Hampshire that " the amount
of wealtii absolutely annihilated by fire tbrouf^at Hit United States,
JigiLizedbyGoOgle
INSUBAKOB OOSOUBSIONXB. 7
^ce Janiuiy, 1671, mast approximate, if it doea sot exceed, four
hnndred millions of dollars — an amount of vaste unequalled by any
coantry on the face of the globe in a quarter of a centary." Mr.
Oakley, in his recent address, speaking on the same sabject, says :
" In no other country is the waste of the Industrial force of its
people so great as in the United States, where the annihilation of
property by fire is almost beyond oalcnlation. These fires are a drain
npoD the resources of our people j the mere fact that most of the
property is covered by insurance does not relieve the whole country
of its loss. I apprehend that if our political economists would look
at this wholesale yearly destiuction of property, they would find in
it one of the primatj causes of embarrassmenta In trade and un-
settled money markets. Every great fire ie a toaa to tKe notion of to
much of iU real wnaUh, and thia cannot take place untAout ita ^fftet
heingfeU in time by the whole bodypolUic."
With this condition of things it is idle to hope for a material re-
duction of rates. Incendiarism and carelessness — fit companions —
do the mischief, and honest insurers pay the bills, in high rates.
Could these two causes of flre be entirely avoided, insurance compa-
nies conld insure at one>half their present rates, and make more
money than they do now. America has been stigmatized as " the
country of incendiary fires," and it is due to her that some steps be
taken to reform the evils which have justly won for her so vile an
epithet. Kr. Medill, of Chicago, is authority for the statement that
'* such a thing as a man setting his own premises on fire, or a tenant
firing his stock of goods, for the sake of obtaining the insurance, is
unknown in Berlin, and is seldom heard of in Europe, except in
Great Britain, where the American reckless system of insurance and
temptation prevails to a smalt extent." The law of France deprives
the person of indemnity on whose premises a fire originates. A law
appFOzimatii:^ this in severity, and also requiring insurance oompSr-
nies, under heavy penalties, to keep within three-fourths of the value
of the property insured, in all their insnrance contracts, would un-
doubtedly remedy, in great degree, the deplorable conditions above
referred to.

The flrat and fourth named have failed and passed out of extetonce.
The c&uae of the fRilore of the former, and the immediate circom-
stanoea which brought it about, were sufficiently alluded to in a poat-
script to the last report issued fh>m this office, dated in Jaly, 1874.
The GermsD of Erie was dissolTed by decree of court in September,
IS'ii, and placed in the hands of a receiver. Its death was quiet and
peaceful. There wa« no struggle, no unnecessary resistance to the
decree of Fate, but gently and quietly it expired. In death, aa in
life, it showed no pluck, no ambition, no sign of a desire to coni-
mence anew and try to correct past errors, but with that patience
which borders on serenity, it quietly" gave up the ghost." And thus
ended the German of Erie. In looking over its life, the wondor ia
that it lived so long. Its man^ement was utterly atnpid — in short,
there could| not have been much management to it. It lacked Just
the element which is most needed in the insurance business, to-wit,
a knowledge of insurance. Possessed of this, and a reasonable de-
gree of good business qualifications, it might to-day be a thriving
company. The Insurance commissioner of Pennsylvania says this
about it :
" It was incorporated in 1867 ; its capital paid in mortgages and
local stocks ; it spread itself all over the country and did a laige
bnsiness. An efTort, apparently saccessf\il, was mode to repair its
capital, but the downward course could not be arrested. The foun-
dations were rotten, like thoae of all companies with capital paid in
mortgages and stocks 'just as good as money.'"
Luckily, the company had not acquired a bnsiness footing in Min-
nesota, and but little, if anything, is lost by its failure to any citizen
of this State.
The Clay Fire and Marine, of Newport, and the Mechanics' and
Traders', of Hew York, voluntarily withdrew IVom the State at the
close of the year, and the Franklin, of Wheeling, shortly after the
Chicago Fire, having reduced its capital below the minimum amount
fixed by our laws.

The increase in the aamber of companies operating here this year
over last, ia sixteen, with a correepondiDg increase of capital
of over four million dollars. The total asseta show an increase of
abont seventeen million dollars. It will be observed that the " ag-
gregate liabilities of all the companies, exclusive of capital and re-
insurance reserve," is but $5,413,260.80, as against $8,638,289.66
last year, a decrease of $3,224,978.66. In view of the increase ia
the number of companies, this large decrease of liabilities makes a
very favorable showing for the companies.
The minimum amount of paid-up capital required by the laws of
this State of fire and fire-marine insurance companies, to entitle them
to do business here, is two hundred thousand dollars. A bill was
introduced in the legislature of Inst winter, providing that compa-
nies of one hundred thousand dollars paid-up capital, might be ad-
mitted to the State, providing they would keep on deposit, in the
insurance department, for the protection of policy holders, an
amount equal to a full re-Insurance reserve, computed under the law,
which deposit should never be less than ten thousand dollars. While
this bill was carefully drawn and well guarded in all its provisions
relating to the rights and safety of policy holders, yet it was deemed
unwise by the legislature to change the standard of safety as estab*
lished by the existing law, and so the bill failed of passage. By the
law of 1872, the minimum capital was fixed at three hundred thou-
sand dollars, and in 1878 the law was amended, changing the stand-
ard to two hundred thousand dollars, at which it still remains. It
has been proposed several times by some of the more consen-atire
insurance men, to petition the legislature for a restoration of the
minimum amount established by the law of 1872, but no definite ac-
tion has ever been taken in the premises. It is the opinion of tiie
writer that any change of the capital standard at present, would be
unwise. To increase it would be to exclude from the State a num-
ber of safe and trustworthy companies of but two btindred thousand
dollars paid-up capital, which are already well established in busi-
ness here, and which are entitled, from every consideration, to the
confidence of the public. To decrease it would be to invite into the

State a lot ofnnBafe companiea, and to diacredit and nnpopnlarize
the whole bnainess of ln«arance.
" A. healthy competition " in the inBurance bosiness, or a compe-
tiUon amoi^ good companies occnpylng the same field, is mnch to
be desired, bat when this competition is carried on between a lot of
small, irresponsible companies, which, for the sake of adding to the
volume of their bnainess, write unsafe risks at inadequate rates, it
were better that all such companies were excluded from the State ;
in oUier words, it is better to maintain the capital standard so high
that this class of companies cannot gain admittance.
The actual paid up capital of the sixty-six American stock com-
panies operating in this State, as per the liat published herewith, is
128,461,680— an increase of ti,i6i,lSQ over the amount returned
last year. Bat three of these companies show impairment of capital,
to-wit, the Hudson of New Jersey, (1,606.12, the Mercantile of Chi-
cago, $29,168.38, and the Sew Orleans Ina. Co. of New Orleans,
f44,6L7.L8. The average percentage of impairment of the three com-
panies a bat 8.0fi, and all of them are a good ways on the safe side
of the 20 per cent, limit established by law.
Bat few changes have occurred daring the year in the piud ap
capital of companies. None show a decrease, and bat three have
increased, as follows : The Brewers of Milwaukee, fh>m 1200,000 to
1292,800 ; the Insurance Company of North America, FhUadelphia,
ih>m (S00,000 to 11,000,000; the Northwestern National of Milwau-
kee, flrom 1800,000 to 1600,000.

their bnaineM, to keep their assets invested Id such secnritiea u an
re&dily convertible into cash. At the same time it is desirable that
the investments be in such securities as pay a reasonably Urge rate
of int«re8t. The temptation to secure a large rate of interest in-
duces many companies to loan their money principally apon retJ
estate seoority. This is undoubtedly as safe a method as there is of
making investments, in the sense of affording ample security for the
money loaned, bnt it is not safe, as a policy, to invest too lai^ a
proportion of the assets of a company in this way. The calls upon
insurance companies come without warning, and the disastors of a
single day may tax tiieir utmost resonrces. Loans on real estate are
Bot, as a rule, readily convertible. It is often a tedious process to
recover money thus invested. Unconvertible assets, however good,
are of but little avail in the prompt payment of losses. The Super-
intendent of Insurance of the Stete of New York, in his late report,
with evident, but excusable pride, calls attention to the investments
of New York companies, as compared with those of other States.
It appears that of the one liundred and two New York joint-
stock fire and flre-marine insurance companies, their total loanb on
real estate amount to but $14,779,088.14, while their investments in
United States bonds reach a total of 128,526,105 51. The eighty-
two companies of other States have 115,578,883.15 in real estate
secnritiee, and but $5,599,241.11 in United States bonds. The reason
of this is apparent. A United Stetes bond, which pays but six per
cent, interest and can only be purchased at a premium considerably
in advance of its par valne, has few attractions for a western com-
pany, for instance, that can readily invest in safe real estete securi-
ties, or stocks and bonds other than U. S. securities, all its assets,
and receive all the way fh3m eight to twelve per cent, interest. In
New York city, the flnancial centre of the United States, money is
more abundant in proportion to the demand for it, and consequently
commands a less rate of interest, and aa the charters of the New York
ooupanies prohibit them tVom loaning their money in other States,
they natarslly enough seek United Stetes bonds as the beet available
securities within their reach. Hence it is, that while the eighty-two
companies of other Slates own $21,781,050.61 of "other stocks and
bonds," the New York companies have but $5,337,627.10 of like
■ecurities. However, there is no denying the fact that nothing looks
so well in items composing the assets of an insurance company aa
"United Stetes bonds." They impart a sense of confidence and
security that is unquestionable. The danger with some companies
is to ran too much to real estete investmente. by reason of the high
rate of interest obtainable on this class of loans, and thus tie np too

great & porportion of their asaeta. It will be observed, that of tiie
eighty-flve million dollars or more of assets of the companies oper-
ating in this State, over twenty-fonr millions are invested in real
estate and real estate loans. This ia perhaps not too targe a proportion
to the whole amount, to be thas invested, bat in the o&ae of many Indi-
Tidaal companies the proportion wonld seem to mn mnch too high.
The onifonn laws, on matters pertaining to inauranoe, in the principal
northern and some of the southern States, are tending to a uniform-
ly of investments by the inanranoe companies, and to a nniflcation
of the entire business, which cannot fail to reanlt to the advantage
of both the companies and the insured.
UHADIOTTED nSHB.
In conformity to a rule adopted by the National Insaranoe Con-
vention, at Detroit, in September, 1874, and to the law of this State,

It is rather gratifying to note tiiat, with each sncceeding year,
these items are gradually dimioishing both iii number and amount.
PES CENT. HASGIN ON COIXATEBAL LOADS.
The law regolating loana on collateral securities provides that
" the cnirent market value of such pledged securities shall be at alt
times, during the continoance of such loans, at least twenty per cent,
more than the snm loaned on them." In many instances this mar-
gin has been disregarded, and in some oases loans have been made,
not only in ezceas of the twenty per cent., bnt to the full market
value of the securities pledged. This is a plain violation of the Uw.
The Commissioner will deem it bis duty hereafter to reduce and ex-
clude from the admitted assets all loans in excess of the twenty per
cent. maig:in prescribed by the law. It is to be hoped that officen
of offending companies will profit by this admonition, and that here-
after the law, in this reffard, will be strictly observed.

The above ^bows the total Itabtltties of the 8eventy-iiiD« compa-
nies doiog business in the State on Ma^ Ist, 1875. The aggregate
assets ofthese same compaDieB,as heretofore ahoirn, is t8fi,0S0,17€'36,
leaving an aggregate surplus as to policy-holders, of 948,729,828.19
— a little over fifty-seven per cent, of the entire assets. In other
words, the total liabiliUes on the thirty-first of December last, in-
cluding a total re-insurance reserve, amounting to nearly thirty-one
millions of dollars, were but forty-three per cent, of the total assets.
Elxcladiog the large aoHinnt held as a reserve, and the liabilities
proper amoant to but 15,413,260.80, or about six per cent, of the
total assets. A better test of the solvency and unquestionable fln-
ftncial staniling of the companies, as a whole, conld hardly be de-
sired. Last year the item of unpaid losses of the sixty-four compa-
nies then reporting, was 18,632,478.46, while this year the same
item amounts to $3,885,666.88, This is an increase of $253,092.92,
with an increase of fifteen in the nnmber of companies. Notwith-
standing this increase of companies, the items of "All other liabili-
ties," shows a decrease of $3,478,071 .78. The total amount held aa
a re-insurance reserve is greater this year than last by something
over six million dollars.
The following shows the total income for 1874, and the several
sonrces &om whence it was derived :
From premlnms #68,879,744 20
From Interest sod dividends 8,711,604 68
From rents and other aonrces 6S4,403 S3
Totallncome tfi7,e]6,esi 10
The total income shows an increase of a little over four million
dollars, as compared with the amount reported the previoas year —
an increase not more than fairly proportionate to the Increase in the
nnmber of companies. The total re-insnranoe reserve held by the
companies this year is fifty-three per cent, of the total income;
whereas, last year it was but forty-eight per cent., and the year
before foi^-five, Ac. Under the law, the re-insnrance reserve in the
case of each individual company nnst not be allowed to fall below
for^ per cent, of the premium receipts. In the aggregate it bears
this test, with thirteen per cent to spare.

The amoant paid for losses by the seventy-nine companies whoee
business operations for 1874 are herein considered, ip less by nearly
six millions of dollars than was paid in 1878 by the sixty-eight com-
panies operating in the State last year. Thia comparatively lif^t
mn of losses enabled the payment of larger dividends — the excess
thus distributed to stockholders in 1874 over 1873, being over one
and one-half millions of dollars. The ratio of losses incurred to pre-
miums received was, in 1872, 83.45 ; ui 1873, 59.61 ; in 1874, 43.06.
So that if 1873 was considered a favorable year to the companies —
and it was so estimated, considering the business in the aggregate ■
— 1874 was not only favorable, bot highly profitable. Thirty-two
per cent, of the premium receipts ought to cover all tbe management
expenses, inclnding taxes. Adding this to the percentage of losses,
we have 75.00 per cent, disposed of in losses and expenses, leaving
a generous margin of twenty-flve per cent., or one-fourth of the entire
premium receipts.
All but ten of the American companies reporting, paid dividends,
the amount thus distributed reaching the sum of $8,673,948.83, or a
little atiove eight per cent, of tbe premium receipts. The percentage
of oommissione and brokerage to premium receipts is 16.62, showing
a considerable increase over the percentage of similar expenditures
in 1873. Fifteen per cent, of the premium receipts has generally, here-
tofore, been considered a liberal allowance for commissions and bro-
kerage. The increase fVom 14.44 per cent, in 1873, to 16.62 per cenL
in 1874, without any material increase of business, is an advanue in
the wrong direotioii. Bnt Ute struggle for business among coi^panies
by their agentc, during the past year as been a spirited one , and while
the resnlts of tbe year's business do not show much increase, owing
to tbe depressed conditions of business throughout ibe oonntry, and
other good causes, the efforts to obtain insurance business have been

greater and more expensive. In the management of a general agency
boBiness the ezpenses are necoesarily la^e, and yet the question
uggests itself with considerable force, whether there is not a grand
opportunity for '■ reform," or oartailment of expenditurea in Uiii
braooh of th^ businesa F

ments, show the business and financial standing of the oompanies at

BUSINESS IN MINNESOTA.
The fire and iuUnd insurance basiness of Minnesota, In 1874, was
anoBually prosperous. Tables I and 2, which hereinafter appear,
relate exclusively to this business, and show the riaka written, pre-
miums received, loeses paid, losaes incurred, ratio of losses incurred
to preDoinms received, average premium rate, &c., of the seventy-two
companies then operating in the State.
The following affords a general comparative view of the basiness
for the years 1873 and 1874 :

The fire business shows an increase in risks written of $8,778,185,
and in preminms received of 1140,985.61. The inland basiness, on
the other hand, shows a decrease in risks written of $4,752,548, and
in pretninms received of $47,591,58. This lai^e falling off in the
ivlaud business is a matter of considerable surprise. Jose what
causes have led to it are uncertain. The baeineBs occasioned by the
movement of Uie crops was, owing to low prices, somewhat less in

1874 than the previous year, and especially tras this true during the
lattet part of 1674. Busioess on the MiseisBippi river was ham-
pered a good deal by low water and fell off considerable in conse-
quence. And then i^ain railroads reduced their tariSk sufficiently
to secure a large proportion of the freight which previously had been
transported by water routes. All of these influences had their effect,
but would not, probably, account fur so lai^ a decrease.
To facilitate comparison the inland business of Uinnesota, for the
two years named, is given below, side by side ; '

The premium receipts, it will be noticed, were considerably more
than twice as great in 1878 as in 1874. These figures hare been
taken fhim the annual statements made by the companies to tikis
department, and are presumed to be oorroot. If mistakes have been
made, they are subject to correction. If no mistakes, then there has
been a wonderfully lai^e falling off in the inland business of the
State, argneiog a very sadden and strong tendency on the part of
transporters in favor of railroad over water routes. 1878 showed an
increase in the inland business of the State, over the previous year,
of #3,182,072 in risks written, and $31,092.96 in premiums received.
The companies received in premiums on the fire and inland busi-
ness of the State #940,137.67. This is the amount reported, but
does not include the receipts of the Minnesota Farmer's Mntnal, nor
of the four companies which have failed to re-enter the State this
zedbyGoOgle
IN81TRANOB COMHI8SIONBIU 49
yeu-. It is probable thst one million dollars does not exceed the
Amount paid by citizens of the State for fire and inland insarance in
1874.
It will be obserred by Table No. 1, that sixteen companies report
no losses iscnrred, and that bat one company inonrred losaee in ex-
cess of its preminm receipts.
I>educting the premium receipts of the " St. Paul Fire and Ma-
rine" from the total amount reported, there remains a balance of
$815,672.88, which represents the amoant paid to other State and
Foreign companies. The amoant returned by tiie other State and
Foreign companies, in losses paid, was $202,693.52 ; by the St. Paul
Pire and Marine, 148,664.25; total, $251,357.77. Excess of pre-
miums received over losses incarred, $688,779.90.
The ratio of losses incurred to premiums received is but 26.84 per
cent, i^^nst 44.78 in 1873. Thirty per cent., the ordinary allow-
ance for mani^ement expenses, added to this, and two per cent, ad-
ditional to cover taxes, gives a total outlay of 55.85 per cent, of the
premium receipta, leaving the generous mai^n of 41.66.
The excess of total premium receipts In 1874 over 1878 is
$98,394.08. The following shows the premium receipts flrom the fire
and inland business tn the State, covering a period of seven consec-
utive years, commencing with 1868, as officially reported :

Here will be noticed a gradual increase tima year to year, keep-
ing pace with the development of the State. In tiie life busiuesa, on
the contrary, the total premium receipts have diminished each year
since 1871, excepting the last year, which shows a slight increase.
The total insurable property in the State was estimated a year
^o, by competent antliority, at something over $177,000,000. Ac-
cording to this there is still over one hundred million doUara worth
of property in the State uninsured, but insurable. The outstanding
inenrance, including that carried by the Farmer's Mutual, of Hinne-
i^Mlia, does not exceed $75,000,000.

BOWt OOHPAHIBS.
Notwithstaadins the inviting field which Minoesota offers to insa-
rance capital, there are still bat two inanraDCe companies in the
state, of home organization, to-wit, the St. Paul Fire and Marine
Insurance Company, of St. Paul, and the Uinnesota Farmers' Mutual
Fire Insurance Aasociatlon, of Minneapolis.
Of the St. Paul Fire and Marine it is hardly necessary to speak in
words of cocamendation. It already enjoys the confidence of die
pnblic to .the fullest degree — a confidence fairly won by judicious
and honorable management. Its available assets, at tlie close of
1874, amounted to 1816,295.42 ; and its surplus over liabilities, in-
cluding capital, was increased during 1874, flrom 854,014.77 at l£e
beginning of the year, to 113^,686.76 at the close. Its total income
in 1874 was 9600,594.64, and its total expenditures |502,463.M,
leaving the handsome margin in the company's favor of (98,182.10.
So long as the company remains under its present efficient control
and -management, the public will not withdraw fW>m it the confidence
it has so justly earned.
The Minnesota Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance AasociatJon of
Minneapolis, being a mutual or co-operative society, without either
capital or a re-insurance reserve, is not susceptible of comparison at
classification with the other companies operating in the State.
When the general insurance law of the State was passed, a section
was embodied (Sec. 13, Title IV.) for the benefit of this company,
providing that " Any fire insurance company already organized under
the laws of this State and doing a farm business only, may continoe
to do such business by possessing twenty-five thousand dollars in-
vested by deposits in national banks, or as provided by section 4, title
^8, of this act, and comply with the other provisions of this act, so
far as applicable, but shall be exempt tiom complying with section
28, title 3, and section 3, title 2."
[Section 28, title H, relates to and re$;ulates the amount of taxes
insurance companies shall pay. Section 3, title 2, requires the main-
tenance of a re-insurance reserve, ^.]
Section 13, title IV, as amended by the legislature last winter,
reads as follows :
" Any fire insurance company already organized under the laws of
this state and doing a farm business, may continue to do such busi-
ness by investing the accumulations of such company to the amount
of thirty thousand dollars, which shall be held as a reserve fund for
the security of the assured, as provided by section four, title three.
JigiLizedbyGoOgle
nraUKAlfOB OOHUKBIONXB. 67
of this aot, bat BQoh company may be exempt ftom complying witti
section tir^nty-eight of title tliree of this act."
There are a namber of points of diSbrence between the original
and amended sections. Id the origiDal section the exemptions which
it confers extended to companies " already organized under the laws
of this State, and doing & farm business only." In the amended sec-
tion the word " only" is omitted, and the scope and meaning of the
law is thereby so far extended as to apply to all companies which
were already organized at the date of the passage of the general law
and doing a farm business, even thongh their operations were not
confined to the insurance of farm property. This clearly ioclndee
the St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Co., as well as the Minne-
sota Mutual Fire Ins. Associatfon, and just as specifically exempts
it ttom the operation of section twenty-eight, title three — that part
of the law requiring the payment of taxes. The omission of tli«
word " only" was probably the result of a mistake or accident. It
is not probable that the legislature intended to extend to the St.
Paul Fire and Marine any exemptions trom the operations of the
general law. It is due to this company to aay that it disclaims hav-
ing hod anything to do with procnrlng the amendment, and does not
propose to take advantage of it. The President of the company has
informed the Commissioner that the company will continue to act
nnder the general law, as heretofore, and claim no privileges or ex-
enptions under this amended section. The law, however, shonld be
restored in this particular, at the next session of the legislature.
Formerly the financial basis upon which the association could do -
bnsineas under the law, was ■' by possessing twenty-five thousand
dollars inve^fed by deposits in national banks." The amended seo-
tiOD increases the amount to $30,000, and requires it to be invested
In approved bonds, mortgages and stocks, as provided by section
foor of title three. This is a good improvement. The words " and
comply with the other provisions of this, act, so far as applicable,"
and the specific exemption from the operations of section three of
title two, are omitted in the amended section. By reason of the
withdrawal of all specific and general exemptions, it was claimed,
and with some reason, that the company should be held to a oom-
pliance with all the provisions of the general law, excepting those
portions relating to taxes and paid-up capital. On the other hand,'
it was claimed that by the amended section the association would be
entitled to do business by simply investing 130.000, as tiiereia re-
quired, and that the commissioner was powerless under the law to
impose other or further conditions.

In order the more clearly to define the relations of ttie assocution
to the Insurance department, a communication waa addreased by the
Commissioner, under dat« of May 13, 1875, to the Attorney General,
. soliciting his opinion aa to whether the commissioner had any author*
ity, under a fair construction of the law, to levy agaioat the aasoct-
aiion a reinsurance reserve. After due coneideratiou, the Attorney
General replied to this inquiry as follows :
State of Mikkesota, \
Attorney General's Office, >
St. Paul, Hay 24, 1875. )
Hon. A. B. McOiU, Insurance Commistioner :
DxAB Sib : — I have examined the qnestion submitted by yon in
your favor of the IStb instant, as to whether you would be jostifled
in computing and charging up against the Minnesota Mutual Fire
Insurance Aaoootatiou of Minneapolis, a reinanrance reaerve, as pro-
vided for stock companies by subdivision 9 of section 3, title 2, at
the general insurance law, and am of the opinion that yon would
not. It being conceded, that, at the date of Uie passage of the inso-
rance law in 1872, the said company was already an oi^anized com-
pany under the laws of this State, and doing a farm bnaineaa only,
it came clearly under the provisions of section 13, title 4, of said
act, and hence excepted from the operation of subdivision 9 afofs-
said. While said section 13, as amended, does not, in terms declare
that anch companies as are therein described shall be exempt ^m
complying with subdivision 9, section 3, title 2, of the insurance
law, yet I think that such exemption ia as clearly implied as thoogh
it were expressed If said company has complied with the provisions
of section 13, as amended, it is f ntitled to do an insaranca boainesa
in this State.

The association is not, therefore, under the supervision of the in-
surance department. TraSr tt is the dnty of the Insurance Commis-
sioner to see that it makes and maintains ite investment of $30,000,
as specified by the law, and be may have authority to look In upon
and examine the association from time to time, but beyond this he
can do nothing. Whatever its financial standing might be, so long
as it maintained the tSO,000 investment, the Insurance Commis-
sioner could not question it. Under the opinion of the Attorney
General the association is ftee flrom the supervisioa of the insurance
department, — ia IVee from all the essential provisions of the general
insnrance law. The present commissioner does not propose to at-
tempt the exercise of a power which the law does not confer npon

him, Mid will not, therefore, under the lair sa it atanda, attempt an
facial BDpervision of this association.
The CommisBioner does not wish to be nnderstood as reflecting
•gainst the assootstion or its management. It has had tea years
of experience and has paid ap its losses with commendable prompt-
ness. It paid over $38,000 losses in 1874. There is no doubt of
its ability to pay a moderate ran of losses, and by careful, judicions
man^^ment it may goon and grow and thrive, and become a strong
company. No one wonld be more rejoiced than the writer to see it
do BO. Bnt at present it enjoys nnuaual exemptions. It is not re-
quired to have a paid-up capital, or to maintain a re-insurance re-
serve, and its assets may consist of bills receivable, as they do
largely, while sach items are rigidly ezclnded tcoat the assets of other
companies. Whether the law shall be extended in its operations to
inclnde tiiis association, is a qaestion for the legislatare to deter-
TBE mw TORE SCRPLU8 LAW.
How fire insurance companies may become a betur security to the
holders of their policies is one of the most important questions now
occupying the attention of Insnrance Departments. '
While cities continue to be built as they are now built, the expect-
ation of the companies ought to include a repetition of their experi-
ence at Chicago and Boston, at irregular, but not very distant inter-
vals. This Just expectation ought to influence their charges for
Insuring, but this, while important as an incident to their ability to
grow stronger, Ib not the feature in which the public has the greatest
iuterest. The snfi^ring by great fires is not to Insurance atockbold-
era alone ; nor is theirs the misfortune to be guarded against. Their
investments are made with regard to profit, and they should include
in the risks they take by their investments that of their possible loss
by great Ares.
TbB Bufl'erers needing protection are the losers in a fire of such
magnitnde as to cause losses exceeding the ability of the companies
to pay them in full, and the holders, at such a time, of their poli-
cies on property not burned.
The losers have always been recognized as sufiTerers, and eflbrts
have been made to mitigate tbeir hardships. Among the measures
employed for this purpose are, the limitation of the amounts the com-
panies may insure upoi single riBks to a given proportion of their
Teapective capitals, and the compulsory Betting apart by the compa-
zedbyGoOglC

sief, as a liability before dirideDCls can be pud, of an amount equal
to the unearned premiums upon exiating policies.
This State is in advance of nearly all others in having limited the
amount to be insured upon single risks, to Ave per cent, upon the
amount of capital, the common rule being to fix this limitation at
ten per cent.
Either of these limitations is safe when applied to risks so de-
tached as to be free from liability to be burned by the burning of
other buildings, but that which is most restrictive is too high when
applied to the compact risks of a city or large town. While it is
not to be supposed that any company can obtain the insurance of
all the risks in any town, or that any well managed company would
take them if they could be obtained, it would seem to be unwise that
by legal enactment a company should be authorized to place all of
its capital upon ten adjoining buildings, as is now permitted under
the prevailing State laws, or upon twenty such buildings, as ia per-
mitted by the laws of our own more restrictive statute. The laws
should tend to conservatism and not to rashness.
The requirements of this State, as to the mode of ascertaining the
unearned premiums of the companies, are highly conservative, and
are, in that respect, equal to those of the more advanced States.
These legal provisions are important and tend to secure superior so-
lidity in the companies, but they do not meet all the necessities of
the case. Notwithstanding all the restraints that the best interests
of the public will permit, there will still remain the probability that
the companies will lose, in some great fire, amounts beyond their
ability to pay them in full. The misfortunes to the losers in such
fires by the burning of their property, have been materially aggra-
vated by the costs, and wastes and delays which no receiver in
bankruptcy, however well intentioned and capable, has been able to
prevent. The losers, in the midst of wide-spread ruin, have a peca-
liar and pressing and immediate need for the money the company
may be able to pay them, but relief has seemed impossible. It is
not extravagant to state that such losers are less benefited by getting
the whole sum that receivers pay to them, with the delays of months
and years inseparable from bankruptcy, than they would be by ob-
taining an amount not so great by one-third, if paid within the usual
time of payment by solvent companies.
The holders of policies on property not burned are, at the same
time, put to serious inconvenience and loss. These policy holders
are numbered by hundreds of thousands, and while the individual
amounts are not great, the aggregate is very large. The unearned
premiums of what are known as the Agency Companies are not less
JigiLizedbyGoOgle
INSURANOK COMHISBIONKB. 61
than IS6,000,000, and, great as this sum is, it does not represent the
amount of derangement, trouble and loaa that this great number of
policy holders suffer under such ctrcamatanoes. Thej hare to search
for other insurance, where and at what price they can find it ; many
of them have to travel far and to lay aside important ocoopatioas to
do this. All of them have to wait, almost interminably, before thvy
receive any part of the amount due to them ftom the failed compa-
ny, and their new and unexpected payments of preminms are often a
material inconvenience. Some of them only learn of the inability of
the companies whose policies they hold, when, their property having
been bomed, their expectations of prompt restitution are met by the
promise of insufficient payment after indefinite delay. Thia is the
history of claimants against over 100 companies which became bank-
rapt in Chicago and Boston. The evils resulting are great to amer-
canUle community, and are still greater to one engaged in farming
by reason of remoteness flrom the centres to which insurance capital
tends.
To mitigate these evils, so tar as is possible, seems to be tjie
purpose of the law enacted in the State of Vew York, in 1874, after
a year's consideratiou of the subject, and in Wisconain at the last
session of the legislature of that State.
This Kew York law provides that eobmission to its restrictions by
the companies is optional with them, but If submitted to, their cash
dividends to stockholders must not exceed seven per cent, per an-
num upon the amount of their respective capitals and of the surpltu
fliods to be formed under the law. The entire profits, of the busi-
ness of insurance proper, go to form these fbnds ; one-half of these
profits constitute what is called a Guarantee Surplus Fund, which,
with the capital, is to be liable for tosses in any fire ; the other half is
assamed to be divided to the stockholders and to be, in their behalf,
deposited with the State Insurance Department for the perpetuation
of the company, in a case of a loss exceeding the Capital and Gaar-
snty Surplus, and for the protection of the unbamed property In-
sured by outstandii^ policies. This, of course, releases the amount
applicable towards payment of the great losses, from any later losses
on uncanceled policies, and as tliese policies do not need to be can-
celed, all of the delay consequent thereon is saved ; and the adjust-
ment of the losses by the great fire may remain in the hands of ths
officers, who are familiar with their baBlneBS, and who are interest«d
by their desire for fature patronage to deal justly and promptly with
the losers. The advantage of such a law to the property holdera
whose property is not burned, will be everywhere conceded, and it
will require little knowledge as to the results that have taken place
zedbyGoOglC "^^

in past great fires, as regards the losers in them, to make any one
realize that Uiese losere will not only obtain their money with the
usual promptness of companies in active basiness, but that they will
get more money ftom a company acting under this law Uuu) they
would realize fh>m the same company if l>y acting independent of
each a law, it had gone into the hands of a receirer.
There are other provisions of this law that are very commendable.
One of these is, that in case of any impairment of capital by ordin-
ary fires, the directors may apply the whole or an> part of the spe*
clal reserve to make good the impairment, instead of calling apon
the stockholders to pay in their respective quotas. AooUier is, that
the amount that may be insured upon risks is not to be increased on
account of any increase of the Guaranty Surplus, but that the oaab-
paid capital is to be the basis upon which the greatest percentage of
risk is to be taken. Sy this provision any increase of surplus be-
oomes a real increase of security, which is a valuable feature of the
law, and one which places it in strong contrast with other laws of
the State of New York, and also of Massachusetts, by which all sur-
plus profit may be traDstormed into capital, and used to extend iha
limits to be insured upon risks and so broaden xhe basis upon whidi
ten per cent, dividends may be paid.
It may be that this law can still be improved. If so, it is desira-
ble that this be done, but as it now stands, while it Is quite new in
its purpose, the ends it seeks to secure are of admitted value, and
must be classed among the most important laws in reference to
the Important subject of insurance that have yet been enacted.
If this law shall commend itself to the l^slature of this State,
it would be wise to allow a greater rate of dividend than seven per
cent. ; perhaps nine or ten per cent, would not be too large. Evi-
dently, stockholders look upon submission to the law as a self-
denial — aud if the action is to be optional with them, it is to the
interest of their policy-holders that they find such just preeoib
reward as will, with the advantage of permanency which it secnrea
to them, lead stockholders to consent to submission to it.
SKBTICE OF PBOOX8S.
The general insurance law of the State, as originally enacted,
contained a provision that required all other State and foreign insu-
rance companies, before doing business in this State, to file with the
insurance commissioner a stipulation i^eeing upon the part of the
company that any legal process affecting the company, served on the
JigiLizedbyGoOgle
DTSn^ASOS OOUHI88IONBR. 63
iniunuioe commisBiooer, should tuLve the uuae eStet u if served
personally on the company within this State, and permitting the
company to name, in the same stipalation, an agent of the oompany
in the State upon whom service might also be made. In 167S the
legislature so amended and modified this law, in its application to
American companies of other States, as to omit entirely the reqnire-
ment of personal service upon the insurance aommissioner. What
motive actuated the legislature, in thus modifying the law, is not
plain. As it now stands, in case the attorney appointed by the
oompany removes from the State, or dies, there is no method by
which service upon another State company can be secured within
this State. Such cases have already arisen in this and other States,
and the insurance commissioners of both New York and Connecticnt,
in their late reports, have recommended the enaotment by their
respective State legislatures of laws containing jnst the features
which wero repealed in our law. If there should be any valid
objection on the part of companies to service upon the insurance
oommissioner in all cases, the law might be so conditioned that in
case of the death, or removal, or absence ftx>m the State of the party
qipointed by the company to accept servioCi it could be made with
equal effect and validity upon the insurance commissioner. While
an amendment of this character could work no possible injury or
embarrassment to the companies, it would secure to litiganta a right
of which they should never be deprived, viz. : an easy and simple
method of securing service of process.
TOWKSHIF HtmiALS.
Tlie Legislature, at its last session, yielded to the persistent ap-
peals of certain petitioners, and passed a law authorizing the for-
mation of Township Mutual Insurance Companies in the counties of
Goodhue, Dakota, Fillmore, Steele, Le Sueur, If^eebom, Wright,
Chisago, Pine, Kanabec, Meeker, Dodge, and part of Winona.
It is, perhaps, not worth while to discuss the merits of the law at
this time. The opinion of the writer was tireely expressed on tiie
snbject in hia last annual report. There is hardly a probability that
these companies will prove suoceesi^l in this State ; but now that
the law has been enacted, those who desire so to do should be al-
lowed to twte of its fruits — to leam, as people in other States have
learned, that this class of companies must, from the very nature of
tbinga, prove failures. It is impossible for an insurance company
to thrive in such circumscribed limits, whether life or Are, whether
stock or mutual. Just in the proportion that a company of this
zedbyGoOgle

character ia limited, both as respects the area of territory in which
it operates and the number of members composing it, is the value
of the insurance it oBen impaired. This proposition needs no am-
plification. It will be admitted by all. The principle upon wl^^ch
it is founded, holds good of all insurance companies, and has been
ao thoroughly verified by experience as to be indisputable. Coanty
mutuals would be better than town^ip mntoals, but even they would
probably fail here as they have elsewhere. All insurance obtained
below a fair price is of doubtflil value. That which costs nothing
is worth nothii^, as a rule. Adequate protection; to the aaanred
comes of adequate rates and, conversely, inadeqnatejprotection of
inadequate rates.
Under &t> township mutual law, the premiums are payable in
notes, and losses by assessments on said notes. A company com-
posed entirely of wealthy men — men having property beyond tbe
amount exempt from ezeoution — would afford some protection to its
members, bat the probabilities are that many of the members would
not be so favorably circamstanced, and that assessments could not
be collected against them, if resisted. But speculation on this sub-
ject is useless. The law is now a statute of tiie State, and is tm-
titled to a fair trial.

INSURANCE COMMISSIONER'S
REPORT.
F^RT II.
LIFE INSURANCE.
The lif« inrarsnce companieB transacting boslness in Minnesota
an, as a nile, strong, reliable and well managed oompanies. Their
financial statements herewith published are clear exhibits of their
businesa transactions daring 1874, and of the financial status of
each company at the close of the year. It appears that notwith-
standing the general depression and large falling off in the life in-
sorance bosiness, the companies have not fallen behind as respects
their financial standing, bat on the contrary, as a whole, show a
decided increase of total assets, greater, relati?ely, than the increase
of liabilities.
Thpre is perhaps no bnainesa which so readily yields to the in-
finences of hard times as the life iasiiraace business. But comparV
tively few persons carry life insurance at the cost of any personal
comforts, or even of luxuries to which they have been accustomed.
And hence It ia that any condition of things which produces a strin-
gency in the money markets or money circulation of the country, baa
its immediate influence npon the business of life insurance.
The year 1874 was somewhat noted for the depression which
prevailed in buaiiiesa circles all over the country, and in nearly all
branches of industry. This had a m&rtced effect upon life insuraace,
and accounts for the decline in the business as shown by the rarious
tables and records hereinafter appearing.

The total number of new policies issued during the year was
8,588, oovering iasorance to the amount of $6,053,259. This is an
excess over 1873 of 939 In the number of policies issued, and of
$1,751,687 in the amount insured.
The premium receipU increased ^m $441,128.81 in 1873, to
1497,704.26 in 1874, an excess of $56,675.45 in favor of the latter

its highest point in this State in 1871, when the total amount of
premiums collected was returned at $503,170.35. The two succeed,
ing years showed a large falling off. The following statement of the

The amonnt of losses paid in the State in 1874 was only $743.26
greater than the amonnt thoe distributed the previona year. The

STANDABO OF KK8KBTB.
The American Experience Table of Mortality aad blx p«r cmt.
interest per anntim, is the basis, nnder the law or this St«te, opon
which calculations of the net value of life insurance policies are
made. In the last annual report of this department it was reoom-
mended that the law establiabiBg the standard of reserre be changed
from six per cent, to four and one-half per cent, interest, the same
as In mosL of the other States. No action was taken in the premises,
however, by the legislature, and the law therefore remains un-
changed. The recommendation is again respectfully urged.
There really ahould be but one standard of reserve in the Cnited
States, if for no other reason than the very good one of simplirying
comparisons and saving unneoessary expense. With but one stand-
ard and a liberal interchange of certificates of valuation between the
commissioners of the several States, much would be saved In labor
and expense which serve no other purpose than to increase the oost
of insurance to policy-holders. The general sentiment among life
insurance ofHcers and insurance superintendents and commissioners,
would seem to be in favor of a uniform standard for the several
States. There are many reasons to be urged in favor of, and none
against, such legislation as will bring about the aniformity desired.
But the first step to be taken in Minnesota is to get on the four and
one-half per cent, basis, and this ahould be done at the next session
of the legislature.
The Minnesota Mutnal Life Insurance Company has recently re-
insured its policies in the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
Company of Milwaukee, and withdrawn from further business.
The Minnesota Mutual was incorporated in November, 1869, but
did not commence busineea until January 12, 1870. Its bnainess
operations were confined entirely to this State, and after five years
of honest effort at home to build up a permanent company, during
which period assets to the amount of from sixty to seventy thoosand
JigiLizedbyGoOgle

dollara hare bMn aconmnlated, the company lias been re-inBored, aft
above Btated.
That the directors of the company acted wisely Id eflbcting a re-
insurance of its policies, onder all the circnmstancee, cannot be
doabted. Uinneaota oflbrds too small a field in which to boild op a
life insurance company. The necessary average of bnsinees is not
obtainable In a popnlation so limited.
The accnmntations of the company had not been sofflciently lai^
to enable it to enter neighboring States whose laws require the re-
insarance reserves of life companies to be calcnlatcd on the four
and one-half per cent, basis, Instead of the six per cent., as in thi»
State : and so after fbll consideration of the matter, and, as the
writer beheves, having due regard to the best interests of its policy
holders, the contract of re-insnrance was entered into.
The following are the reasons given by the directors of the com-
pany, in a published circular, for the step taken. The force of them
will not be questioned :
The stringency of the times for the past two years, has hitecteS
detrimentally the bnsineas of all lifo insnrance companies, our owa
inolnded, so that with every effort that conld be made, accompanied
Ity a reduction of expenses to tiie lowest practicable limit, our com-
pany, while financially sound, has not been able to maintain a re-
serve beyond a 6 per cent, basis. Meantime, during all these years^
the directors have labored f<hfalty to build up a permanent and
creditable institution, but have found it to be impossible longer to
devote their time and attention to this object. They are all aclive
business men, but some of them with health impaired by ezoessive
work. They feel that to change the officers and directory now,,
would be disastrous, as the public could not well be informed of the
reasons compelling a retirement from positions so long held ; and ihbi
present directors very well know, that a series of death losses, wbieb
might occur, would so seriously impair the standing of the company,,
as to render it difficult, if not wholly impracticable, to effect a re-
insurance of their risks in any responsible company ; while a con-
tinuance in business would not be permitted under the law, nnlesa
the reserve, on a 6 per cent, basis, was made good by a voluntary
advance of firnds on the part of the policy holders.
The writer has examined with some care the contract of re-insiK
ranee, and is ftally satisfied that the rights and interests of th»
policy holders of the re-insured company have been careflilly se-
cured therein. The Northwestern Mutual is a company of unques-
tioned solvency. It has a reputation for strength, safety an$
reliability all over the coantiy, to which it is justly entitled. Ifc

already had a very large baainese in MinneBota, and bung located
in an adjoiniag State, with laige baBinesB interests previoiuly ae-
onred here, there was probably no company in all respects so well
circamatanced as it to take the business of the Minnesota Uatnal,
or that would prove more satisfactory to its policy holders.
By the terma of the contract the Northwestern Mataal asenmes
all the liabilities of the Minnesota Mutoal, of whatever kind, and
agreea to enter the names of all its policy holders apon its own
books, and to credit each policy with the same dividend last paid by
the re-insared company, with one per cent, addition thereto each
yetut thereafter until the assets of the re-inanred company ahall have
reached a four per cent, basis, when they will be placed on a par, in
all respects, with the policy holders of the Korthwestem. It thni
agrees, snbatantially, to do what the Minnesota Mutual could not have
hoped to do for years, even under the most favorable circomstan-
cee. And that it will be able to fulDU its contract, tiiere can be no
doubt. The writer congratulates the policy holders of the Minnesota
Mutual on their transfer to so soand and responsible a company,
and the directora on their sncceas in effecting a matter of so much
moment to their policy holders, on a baais so eminently Jnst and
satisfactory to them. There has been so much fl-aud and deception
in re-insurancee of life companies, so much swindling, and such an
utter disr^ard of the rights of policy holders, that re-inanrances of
this character have come to be looked upon with much disfavor
throughout the country. Bat in the re-inaorance of the Minnesota
Mutual we have an example of a perfectly npright and honest trans-
action, without any of^ the restraining influences of law, where the
chief aim has been to satisfy and protect the policy holders, without
the hope or expectation of pecuniary reward on the part of any one
connected with the matter.
The record made by the Minnesota Mutual ia one of which its
officers and directora need not be ashamed. Although the company
did not grow to be a great company daring the five years of its ex-
istence, its affairs were always in excelleut shape and it waa never
found wanting in the discharge of any obligation which fell npon it.
It had a good list of well selected policy holders, and its financial
status was at least sufficiently attractive to indnce ^e Northwestern
Mutual to take its assets and in consideration therefor to assume
all its liabilities, present and prospective.
But the public confidence so freely bestowed upon the Minnesota
Mutual was not won so much by any merit of the company as mess-
need by the tests of solvency and strength usually applied to life
zedbyGoOgle

comp&nies, as by the high standiDg aod known integri^ of the men
who had ite aflkirs in charge. Its oGQoere and directors were leading
citizens of the State, whose association with the company was always
an aBsnrance of good faith. They proved trae to the trust confided
them, and are entitled to the gratitnde of those whose interests
tbey 80 sucoessfhlly gnarded to the last.
