We acknowledge the receipt of the

ment and Reform upon \ System of
Public Accounts, proposed by f. $.

the Minnesota Legislature and laid BE-
fore the members.
The committee on Retrenchment and

as follows:
To the joint committee on retrench-
ment and reform:
The sub committee to whom was re-
ferred the system Of accounts presented
by E. S. Mills, beg leave to report,
That we have examined the system
referred to, and we believe the proposed
method to be meritOriOus, practical and
efficient, and that the interest of the
tax payer would be promoted by its be-
ing brought into eneral use.
While we do not hesitate to say that
it could be advantageously used as
uniform system for county accounts,
We would hardly advise any arbitrary
laws for its adoption at tile present
time.
We would recommend that such
measures be adopted so az to leave it.

their convenience.
We would further recommend that
the system referred to together with the
suggestions for improved methods of
keeping accounts, and this report he
printed for distribution to members Of
both houses, all explanation and digest
of tie same.
Your committee are firm in their be-
lief that a correct and uniform system
of public accounts would thus gradual.
ly came into general use, which would

ent variable system. Such laws could
be enacted at i future session in refer

The system proposed Ivy Capt. Mills,
of Bigelow, is gradually working its
way into favor. It, Of course, meets
considerable opposition from county
officers who prefer that each treasurer
and auditor should have a system of his
own, by which irregularities and peccu-
lations can be covered up. A uniform
system is, however, demanded, and will
sooner or later be adopted. Thesystem
of Capt. Mills would greatly simplify
county accounts and no doubt save
thousands of dollars annually.

4 CORRECTION.

EDITOR ADVANCE: 1t is with regret
appear IN the columns of your paper
for the express purpose of denying a
false and malicious charge which has
been made by members of the NJ. E.
Church. In your last issue there was
an article headed ''Getting Through"
am accused Of being the author, but
the charge is as false as my denial is
true. The author of the article in ques-
ton says that one Of the members sat
through preaching with his feet upon
the bench i'll front Of him. If there is
anything in this, we must accuse the
man and not the church.
| suppose God does not look to the
position of the body as much us to the
condition of the mind. If his "Brother
in Christ" was laughing and playing
hush-cat with the girls, lie was only
complying with the laws of his nature
Consequently I cannot see any thing
wrong in the article in question.
