Explanatory.

Mr. Grothe writes us as follows:  “I hear that some remarks I made at the 
meeting for voting the special school tax on the 4th inst., were understood by 
some to throw doubt on the integrity of the school trustees.  Nothing could be 
further from my mind than to say anything of the kind against men who have for 
several years given their services to the public without any reward; who have 
honestly and conscientiously discharged the duties of the office to which they 
were elected, and who deserve the full confidence of the public. The fact is, 
an unwarranted remark had been made in my hearing, outside of the meeting, 
which attacked the honor of a former member of the school board, and this made 
me think that such slanderous attacks might be avoided, or could easily be 
refuted if all persons having public funds to administer, would supply the 
fullest information in their power as to the way in which such funds had been 
handled by them.  I still think so, and if, as I have since been informed, the 
machinery of our present laws makes it almost  impossible for the trustees to 
publish full accounts, it is time for the people to insist upon the legislature 
taking this matter up.”
