HtMCYLICA is known as a oommon-
sense remedy, because it strikes disectly at the
cause of Kheumatism. Uout and Neuralgia,
while so many so-caiieu siieeincs ana supposeu
panaceas only treat locally the effects.
it has been conceded by eminent scientists
that outward applications, such as rubbing
with oils, ointments, liniments, and soothing
lotions will not eradicate these diseases which
are the result of the poisoning of the blood
with Uric Acid.
8ALICYLICA works with marvelous ef
fect on this aeid and so removes the disorder.
It Is now exclusively used by all celebrated
physicians of America and Lurope. Highest

I'hvsleluns.
The f...l.wini opportune document;
signed ty three hunditd of the leading
physicians of London, appeared in the
papers of that city j Jsl before Christ
mas:
As it is believed that the iiicmisid-
ate piesoitption of large quantities of
alcoholic liquid by Miediwal men for
their patients lias given liso, in many
instances, to the formation of intein
perate habits, the tindi rsigiied, while
unable to abandon the use of alcohol
in the treatnn lit f certain diseases,
are yet of opinion that no medical
practioner should prt scribe it without
a grave sense of 1 1 sensibility. They
believe that alcohol in whatever form,
should be pies. Tibed with as much
care as any powet ful dt ug, and that
the directions for its use should be so
framed as not to be interpreted as a
sancti'Jii for ixcess or necessarily for
the continuance of its use when the
occasion is p.tst. They are also of
opinion that many people immensely
exaggerate the vaiue of alcohol as an
article of diet, and since no class of
men see so much of its effects, and
possess such power to restrain its
abuse, as membeis of their own pro
fession, they hold that every medical
practitioner is is bound to exert his
utmost iiillunce to inculcate habits of
great moderation in the use of alco
holic liquids.
Being n!s lirmly convinced that the
great amount of drinking of alcoholic
liquors among the working classes of
this country is one of the greatest evils
of the day, destroying, more than
anything else, the health, happiness
aud welfare of those class, and neut
ralizing to a large extent the great in
dustrial prosperity which Providence
has placed within the reach of this
nation, the undersigned would gladly
support any wise legislatioa which
would tend to n strict, within proper
limits, the use of alcoholic beverages
and gradually introduce habits of tem
perance.

A Glass Now and Then.
"Here is something for boys to make
a note of,' says the Sunday School
Times. "The medi'.al xaminer of on
or the great life-insurance companies.
who is not an abstainer, in talking
about the use of liquor the other day
said substantially this: 'Young nun
frequently make application for insur
ance who testify, in ai swtr to the in
quiry on the olank which they are
required to till, that they '-take a glass
now and then," or words to that effect.
No such applicant ever gets insured
by me. 1 throw hi hi out in a minute.
He who takes a gl: .33 nw' and then
when he is young is pretty sore to
take it oftener as he grows old r, and
the effect upon his health is almost
cert ai u to be injurious in the extreme.
Speaking simply as a physiologist, and
not as a moralist at all, I say that no
person . can afford to touch liquor ba"
fore ho is twenty-five years old. The
young man who "takes a social glass
now and then" is a bad risk for any
life-insurance compauy."
Association
"A man is known by the company
he keaps:" yes, and by his company
you may know what he is coming to
be. We unconsciously fall into the
habits of thought and feeling of those
with whom we are associated. We
grow better or w orse, nobler or mean
er, by the influence of our companions.
Our ideas are moulded by our ideals;
our conduct by our examples. To
choose refining, purifying society is
the grandest step up and on; to keep
the company of the vicious and the
vile is as sure a step towards ruin.

Mike GilJigan who in noted as a ter
rible fighter when intoxicated, andean
usually whip three or four men, be
came wild last night under the influ
ence of R. G. whisky and began tiring
off a huge navy revolver on Tenth
street.
The police undertook te arrest him,
and one Nolan, a companion of Gilli
gan, lurntd in th help the eflicers, for
Gilligan was making a determined re
sistance. Gilligan turned the revolver
upon Nolan, who avoided being shot
by knocking the weapon up and strik
ing Mike a blow which cut his head
pen. Mike was then secured.
After they had arrived at the jail,
and Gilligan was being taken througl.
the corridor, he saw his revolver in
Officer Buckley's pocket, snatched it
out, aud thrusting it in Buckley's face,
pulled the trigger. The hammer
struck on a chamber that had been
discharged, which was all that saved
Buckley's head, and Buckley and two
other policemen sprang upon Gilligan,
threw him down and wrested the re

struggle. Ex.
INAUGURAL ADDRESS,
To the Legislature, Eighteenth Session
January, A. D. ISSf.
Gentlemen of the ucuato aud house of
representatives:
Having been railed by tho people
of Nebraska to serve them iu the ca
pscity of their chief executive, It is in
obedience to time-honored custom
that I appear before you todav.
In euteriug upon the dischargo of
the duties pertaiuiug to the position,
I am deeply impressed with its rc
tipiiiiKibilities, ami the magnitude of
the trust placed iu my keeping.
It is my determination to devote
my bc-t (-florin to the service of tho
people, and I shall serve them with
all honesty of purpose and earnest en
dcavor.
Iu obedience to tho requirement
of il.e constitution tho officers of tho
executive department aud ot all pub
lic institutions of the statu hare sev
erally reported to the governor.
An examination of the various re
ports will satisfy the most critical
that the 11 Hairs of the fctate a 10 in a
satislnctory condition; and they furn
ish ample evidence of tho fact that tho
interests ot ihe alate have been in
able and trustworthy hand-. For a
detailed statt mcnt of the condition of
affairs, vii lire referred to the mes
sage i my predecessor that Las just
been read to you, and to the reports
above mentioned, which are full of
valuable iuforiuotioii concerning pul
lie affair. I would ask for them all a
careful evaucnatinn at your hands,
and that the various suggestions aud
recommendations therein contained
may receive the consideration to
which their merit entitles them. This
examination should be early and care
ful and y ou will tind that economy
has chaiaclerizi'd public cxptniliturjc,
and cllIcieiK-y and faithfulness has
been manilest in all the state depart
ments and institutions
I submit the following suggest ii..us
and recommendation:
IMMIGRATION.
The M'e ior atl vantages and attrac
tious of soil and climate possessed in
so high a degree by Nebraska, have
been, :nl will enntinun to be, the
leading intlt.e n-t s operating to pro
mote the tealy growth and develop
incut ol our state
It should be our pclicy to Eupplc-
mcut these natural advantages iu ev
ery pt ssible way by whe and l;beral
legislation, to the end that imnii
gran's from other laud-', and all who
may be looking for homes in the
west, may b" attracttd towards and
influenced to find homes within our
li in 1 ts. The question of such legisla
tion as may be advisable or necessary
to enable us to realize this policv and
reap its certain benefits is iefcrred to
you for solution.
AGKICULTLKE.
The agricultural interests of Ne
braska were never more prosperous
than at the present time. Among the
most serviceable agents in the adver
tisement ot our state have been ur
agricultural and horticultural socie
ties. All reasonable aid that you
may see lit to extend them will bring
a certain satisfactory return.
Reports from the various county
and fit ttc associations thioughout the
country a (lord evidence of progress
and growth iu agriculture that is in
deed mast gratifviug. Tiic exhibi
tions at our own state 'and couuty
fairs during the past year were the
best ever had iu the state. A steady
adherence to grain raising alone tends
to impoverish the soil. That the far
mers of our state will find it to their
advantage to diversify there can be
but little if any doubt, aud we have
reason for congratulation in the fact
that our larmers are devoting more
aud more attention to the growth
and brrcdiug of stock, and less to the
growth of grain, that must at much
expense be transported to a distant
market. Agriculture is at the present
time, aud will be for years to come, if
not always, I he leading interest of
our state, aud as such it will no doubt
receive at your hands such considera
tion aud care as the great importance
of the subject demands.
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
The subject o.'"a thorough feeelogic
1 Mirvey of the state is commended
to y our most caref ul consideration. It
is believed by competent judges that
we have within our borders coal in
abundance; aud the importance of the
fuel question aloue would seem to
warrant a reasonable expenditure
looking to the development of our
hidden resources Such surveys
awaken an interest among the people
to seek ai d examine for themselves,
and by Mich surveys other states have
added largely to their rctource.
Under the uiauagemcut of a scien
tific and thoroughly practical man it
would, I feel assured, productive
of great gcod bo:h to the cause of
science aud the material progress of
the state.
If the work should be entered upon
it is highly important that it be pro6-
ecutad with the greatest economy
possible consistent with the result de
sired.
FDUCATIOX.
Our educational Institutions, public
and private, aie making commenda
ble progress. It is entirely unneces-
ary for me to urge upon you consid
erations m the support of the propo
sition that our common school system
should be carefullv aud steadily de-
vclned to the end that it shall most
fully meet the high purpose fer which
st was estabpshed; and we can de
vote our time, or our strength to no
higher purpose than that of devising
measures calculated to strengthen
and iuiuroue ihis sacred interest. We
all agree that upon le wideipraad
and thorough diffusion of knowledge
depends in a great measure the happi
ness of ouraifjie, ana saiety ui wu.
tritcmy bment. Recognizing
(his fact, tho nation has inado provis
Ion for (he most geuerotis aid from
the public property, aud this trust
will receive conscientious guardian
hip at your bauds, that in the end
the results rightfully to be expected
from a proper u so of onr educational
resources may be fully attained. For
no pother purpose will Die people
more willingly aud cheerfully give
than in support of (he cause of educa
tlou if they rau but hare reasonable
assurauco that their means so contrib
uted will be economically aud wisely
used
Your special attcutiou it called to
the question of text books for our
common schools. Tho frequent change
of books is attended with au expense
to parents that iu many cases is bur
densome in tho extreme, and it is
hoped that you may devise some plan
looking to tha reduction of tho cx
pense to which parents arc subjected
011 this uccouut.
MILITIA.
If it is policy of the state to main
tain its military force, there should be
ample appropriation made for equi-
ping it in a thorough nnd efliclent
manner.
WftilcitUlo be sincerely hopeti
that the day may never ugaiu come
when the civil authorities of Nebrat-
kajwill bo under tho extreme necessity
of culling for military assistance, yet
should that lime come tho tnoit seri
ous consequences might result if there
were not a well disciplined aud prop
crly armed militia to answer such tie
maud.
Wc cau scarcely hope to always cs.
. 11
cape tumults aim oisoruers such as
have arisen iu other stales, tumults
or outbreaks that are as a rule, or at
least in the majority of cases, incited
encouraged uud led by u lawless and
disreputable class ol persons, Ihosa
who, lacking habits of thrif t and in
dustry themselves, seek, by foment
ing public disorder uud a spirit of dis
conteut among those of steady habits,
to reap the bcuelils that under sue!
circumstances inure to them -done,
for in the end, almost invariably, hon
est labor meets the expense uud is tho
loser. Our militia is for the protec
tion of honest industry and honest la
bor whether of high or low degree.
It is therefore of interest to nil, as
well as the part of prudence and econ
omy, to make suoh preparation as cx
pcrience has shown to be needed for
the suppression of such outbreaks as
may be too formidable to be control
led by the civil authorities, aud liable
to arise at auv time. You will n
doubt fake such actiou in the preni
ises as in your judgment is deemed
best, for the iuterest and welfare of
the state.
PROTECTIVE LEGISLATION.
There is an evil of considerable mag.
nitude which of late years has pre
vailed iu many localities of our state
to the great injury of large numbers
of our people. 1 refer particularly to
tli sale of fraudulent patent rights
and of stock in ficticious or pretend d
corporations, by which unsuspecting
persons, through various devices,
have been induced to make worthless
purchases, and give iu payment their
negotable promissory note, which, by
a transfer to innoceut holders, they
were finally compelled to pay
There seems to be a well fouuded
djubl in the minds of many whether,
iu the present condition of our critn
inal law, such fraudulent practices
can be reached and punished, which
probably accounts fer the fact that
such sales are made so frequently, ami
with seeming immuuity from punish
ment. I would, therefore, respectfully
suggest the propriety of incorporat
ing into the law, by amendment or
otherwise, a suitable provisiou rm
etiying this defect.
RAILROAD PASSEK.
The custom on the part of railroad
corporations of granting passes to
state ollicials and members of the leg
islature is one of long standing, and I
might say ot almost universal practice.
While I do not beliore that passes
have beu given or intended in th
nature ot a bribe, or for the purpos or
with the expectation ot improperly
influencing the action of individuals,
or that they have been considered by
those who may have taken und used
theiu as placing them under auy obli
gatious, direct or indirect, the fact
yet remains that a p is represents
value aud its acceptance is for that
reason of donbtful propriety. To the
end that representatives of the people
may be enabled to avoid even th
bare suspicion of hat jug been improp
erly influenced iu their action or in
the faithful discharge of their public
duties, it is recommended that a law
be enacted prohibiting the granting
of passes to officers of the exocutivo
department of the state, members of
the legislature, aud to any of the class
of officials who, by reason of their
public position, may have it within
their power cither to confer or with
hold favors or benefits to railroad
corporations.
RAILROAD CORPORATIONS
In this connection I will quote from
Article eleven (A I) entitled corpora
110ns, 01 tnc constitution of the state
of Nebraska, sections a umbered four
(4) aud seven (7)
Section 4. Railroads heretofore
constructed or that may hereafter be
constructed in this state are hereby
declared public highways, aid shall
be free to all persons for the transpor
tation of their persons and property
thereon, under such regulations as
may be prescribed by law. t
And the legislature may froif time
to time pass laws establishing leason-
able maximum rates of charjbs for
the transportation of passengers and
freights cu the different railroads in
this state.
The liability of railroad corpora
tions as common carriers shai'vievcr
be limited.
"Section 7. The leriIf ur' fchall

HASTY LEGISLATION.
By the terms of our constitution
is provided that members of the leg.
lature shall not receive pay for 1110
than forty days at any one session.
The compensation is small at be.
and but few can afford to remain
teeir own expense. It is therefre ii
portaut that your work bo done wit
iu the constitutional limit, as to liu
for which you will receive pay, ai
for the further reasou that an umb
prolonging of the session is uddii
unnecessarily to the expense mcide
tnereto, and placing additional bi
dens upon the treasury.
The iuterest and excitement atten
ing the election of a United Stat
senator haft resulted in times p,it
the ueglect ot other important bu
ness, and to undue haste and dispat
of business in the closing day of 1
session.

poorly considered legislation, y
should, it seems to mc, apply yoi
selves promptly and vigorously tot
work before you, and iu this w
mature and perfect the more imp'
taut subjects of legislation at the c
licst practicable day. You will by
doing make it possible for all win
dutv it is to do so, to examine a
understand measures they are all
upon to support before acting up
them, and you will thus be tuabl
to best meet Ihe wislie- of those y
represent. To you, coming dired
from tho people, their immediate r4
resentatives, this is a considcrati
of grave moment.
