been department of the state gov
eminent with law unto itself. There
mas never been any careful scrutiny of
It's receipts and disbursements since
the department was instituted, and we
remember no instance where its affairs
have been examined Its reports have

reason why its affairs should not com
mand the attention of the proper COM
mlttee of the next Legislature, and there

moderate tariff and they will have it in
spite of the tariff barons of the East.

publican party, just as it secures good
crops, timely rains and similar bless

Gov. Boutwell.-St. Cloud Times.
