surplus of produce for transportation
that will excel any other portion of this
great state. 4 glance at the map reveals

GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

The Governors message. read be-
fore the legislature on Wednesday
afternoon, Is n document that will
commend itself In whole to the PEG.
pie of Minnesota. The brief space
at our disposal after the receipt Of
the document precludes any extended
review of the measures brought to
the attention Of our lawmakers.
hence only a few general points will
be touched upon. In speaking Of the
insufficient appropriation for the
completion of the State Capitol build.
ing. the Governor finds that 1t will be
necessary. in order to carry the work
to a satisfactory terminus. to have q
further appropriation OF $40. 900. AS
we have previously stated in these
columns, the citizens of st. Paul
guaranteed the sum Of 1000, but
the Governor feels it would he an In.
justice to ask these people TO pay that
sum. and any one who will candidly
consider the matter can hardly fail to
come to the same conclusion.
A careful and ineligible review Of
the financial condition Of the State Is
given; the condition Of the State
institutions Is reviewed and needed
improvements recommended. In
giving the enrolment Of the different
Normal Schools that Of Mankato az.
fords much the best showing. The
enrolment at the Winona Normal In
1881 was AS and in 1882, 439, fal
ling off Of six. The Mankato Nor
NAL had an enrolment of 237 in 1881
and in 1882 the number of pupils at
tending was 800. an increase Of l02
The st. Cloud Normal showed an at
tendance in 1881 of 257 and 1882 OF
254, a decrease Of 3. Thus while the
winona and st. Cloud schools have
not held their own, Mankato Normal
has increased to u most highly graft
flying extent. The Governor especial
ly recommends enlargement Of the
Normal building at this place, and t.
meet the growing demands. this mus,
certainly be done.
The matter of State control Over
railroads is couched IN unmistakablt
terms by the executive, and the posi-
ton which he takes Is that of reason
and sound judgment. TO common
upon this feature Of the message
would require moro space thar
we have to devote ut thi
time. But the pungent point o
the problem Is simply this
"That the State has power to exeI
else control. within reasonable limits
over these corporations. is u princl
pie long since established, and that
J has not exercised such control to
greater degree Is due to the patienc
J ana TO rbearance of the public. Will
the authority Of the State should b
exercised with the utmost care an
prudence, and all the rights Of thes
corporations respected and given tn
amplest protection, yet they shoul
be placed under such restraint an
accountability rs will guarantee til
, people equal protection Of their right
and secure prompt redress Of ever
just cause of complaint"
