The governor made another appeal for the
settlement of the so-called Minnesota state
railroad bonds. The fact that the PRINCIPAL OF
these bonds will become due so soon after the
next regular session that too little time there
after will be left to provide for meeting them,

renders the prompt a1lde-f final adjustment OF

the whole claim rests, it would be well as a

MINNESOTA: AFFAIRS.
synopsis OF Gov. Pillsbury's Message to
the Legislature.

Inc governor welcomed the members to the
hrst OF the biennial sessions which have been
prescribed by the constitution, and expressed
me nope that the longer period now afforded
1or testing the wisdom of legislative enactments
ana the better knowledge Of their character
their practical operation will insure more in,
telligent apprehension, both of their merits
and defects, and induce at once more thorough
correctlves and more cautious changes in all
measures looking to the public welfare.
AGRICULTURE.
After touching upon the accelerated revival
OF industrial prosperity, undated progress in
me construction OF railroads and their facilities
for transportation, the constant accession of
population and steady absorption and
cultivation of the public domain since
the last session, the governor declared that
the crying need of agriculture in the state was
olversi1lcatlon OF products. For three years in
succession, whne all other crops have been
produced i'll lavish abundance, the single cereal
to which two-thirds of the cultivated area is de-
Voted, has alone suffered such diminished
vleids IN the greater part of the state as scarce
lyto have covered the cost of production. This
error corrected, there is little to impede Min
nesota's healthful progress.
FINANCES,
Noting the present sound condition of the
finances OF the country, which he stated was
wisely assured, the governor deprecated the
tendency to lavish habits and personal indul-
sence, which have so often ended in general
ruin. He called attention to the comprehen-
ssive exhibit Of the financial situation Afforded
by the report of the state auditor, from which

Unborn Babe.
She Lays it at the Door of Sam
uel Otis, the Well
known Piasterer.

The county authorities have decided To-
send Mrs. Julia Fisher, whose interesting
and INDECENT condition was spoken Of in
the BAzOO of Thursday, to the county poor
farm. Until few days ago, Julia refused
to tell who was the father of her unborn
babe, in the hope, as she said, Of getting
her seducer to help her ont vi her trouble.
On hearing that he had deserted her and
failed to lend her any assistance, she
gave him away to all the officers and
physicians who had been attending her.
She stated that the name Of her letraver
was Sam Otis, young man who II moi
unknown in Sedalia. having re-
sided here for the past four wears.
Julia has a mother residing in the city,
who is able To take care of her during her
but who, on learning oi her c"ndi-
ton. positively refused To have anything
To do with her. and would not let her en-
ter her house. Otis, however. denies the
parentage Of the kid, and SAYS that the
soon-to-be mother has long b.~n looked
upon as Il woman Of easy virtue.
The Bazoo hopes Sans statement isthe
correct one. During his residence in Soda
liza he has conducted himself rs becomes
Il gentleman, and by attending strictly {"
his own business, has made innumcrable
friends, who are 10th to believe the story
related bv the unfortunate woman.
