Gentlemen of the Senate aud House Of
Representatives: The two years that have
elapsed since the legislature was in session
have been marked by large increase in the
population of our state, and corresponding
accession to the aggregate wealth of our ne %
Pa The national census of 1850 gave Min
nesota population of 7S0, sos. A compar-
ison of the vote cast at the presidential cleo
ton of that year with the poll in November
last assures us beyond question Of present
population of over one million, an increase
OF so per cent, much the larger part of
which has been realized within the past two
years The increase IN the assessed valua-
ton of real and personal property has been
about % per cent within two years. and so
per cent since 1880, as appears from the fol-
lowing statement of property valuation as
fixed by the state board of equalization;

the total enrollniert D72 are in the normal
department proper, 800 in the preparatory
and 4O3 in the model. The number of
teachers graduated to date in all the schools
is ,O53. The growth of these schools in
evitably involves an increase in their current
expenses, mostly required fer the pay of the
additional teaching force employed The
board asks for an increase at Winona Of
H3, 900, Mankato 81 900 and St. Cloud Of
50 900 in their permanent annual appropri-
alton for current expenses. With this in
crease the appropriations would be: Winona,
$4,000; Mankato, $4,000; St Cloud,
$4,000 The local directors also estimate
that future appropriations are needed as
follows:
Winona, for Ladies' home. 1875. 900

This showing will be accepted as evidence
that our state is making substantial progress
toward the realization of those possibilities
OF empire and independence which great
natural resources and an intelligent and Wig
orous people promise for her future
The information furnished by the various
department reports that are before you show
that, as rule, the varied interests of our
people have kept pace in their development
with our growth in population and wealth
During the year just closed Minnesota has
been blessed with harvests of SURPRISING
abundance. In no period of her history has
her soil yielded more beautifully of all its
products, Under the conditions ordinarily
prevailing this would assure to our people
great prosperity, but the experience of all
gram growing countries of the world has
been so like our own in this respect that, as
consequence, the great distributing mar
kets, unable to absorb the rapid accumula-
uens, have now such plethora of all cereal
products that values have declined till they
barely return to the grower the cost of pro-
ductlon. In the older sections of the state,
where our agricultural industry has demon
strated the adaptibility of our soil and eli
mate to the employment of the most adj
vanced methods of husbandry, there have
terests In stock raising and extensive estab-
Gshments for the manufacture of dairy
products from which the farmer realizes
handsomely upon his investment and labor.
As a result those localities are eminently
prosperous and are accommodating wealth.
The fluctuations and contingencies of the
grain markets lose much of their signih-
canoe to the farmer who has other resources
than his crop of wheat I think we may
safely assume that the people will profit by
the teachings of our own experience, and
that we shall continue to note in the future
the tendency of agriculturists in all sections
of the state, to more diversified methods in
their industry.
THE FINANCES.
The auditors and treasurer's reports give
in detail the transactions of the treasury and
the present status of the public funds To
conform to the changes in the fiscal year
made by the last legislature the reports OF
the current period cover eight months, end
ing July 81. 1888, and the year ending July
81, 1884. The more important summaries
Of these reports, somewhat condensed, are as
follows:

St Peter cost aboup 500, 900, and will ac-
commodate comfortably 125 patients. The
erection of two of these wards at St. Peter in
1885, and one at St Peter and two at Roch-
ester In 1856, as recommended by the
trustees, would provide for $50 additional
patients at q cost of 1925 900, and would
probably meet the requirements Of the next
three years. Desiring to obtain the benefit
of the best Judgment in the state upon this
subject. recently convened joint confer
ence of the trustees and sdperiqtendents Of
the hospitals, the state board of corrdctioIls

construction of the third hospital, yet it is
likely, think, to prove wise foresight to
take this initial step in that direction. The
trustees alsi, Recommend the reconstruction
of the center building at Rochester, at an
estimated cost of $40, 900 The part of the
structure referred to is the old inebriate
asylum, which has proven lily adapted to its
present USE While the force OF the presen-
tation the trustees make in this matter must
perhaps be admitted, and the desIrability Of
replacing the old asylum with more sub
stantial and convenient structure conceded,
yet the evident inability of the finances Of
the state to meet the expenditure at this
time, offers a substantial reason adverse to
its present undertaking.
The expenditures for account of the insane
the past two years have been as follows:

A CIVILIZED BABOON.

Henry, the large Chacma baboon in the
Philadelphia Zoo" has been taught to
dine in civilized fashion. AT first he OPP
posed dining at table very vigorously, but
he soon grasped the idea that if he did as
his keeper wanted him he would be reward
ed with lump of sugar, and after that he
became very apt scholar. He has recently
been fitted out with blue canvas coat,
trimmed with red and white bands and but
tons as large as trade dollars. He now
takes his meals in public, special table
having baen built for him. At sign from
the keeper he seats himself upon the stoo
and dem,rely waits to be helped. The bill
of fare varies, consisting of rice, sweet pc
tatoes, bread and butter, milk, ETC., givei
at different times. As the keeper slicet
the potatoes, the baboon leisurely and de
murely picked up the pieces and place
them in his mouth, taking from the cur
which he held in both hands, draught G
tea occasionally. The young femal
baboon win be put through a simili
course Of training, SO that she can tax
the place at the table now occupied by til
keeper.
