    BOYB'S INAUGURAL.
-Gentlerapn of the senate and house of
representatives ;
Assembled here by the direction of the
( people of this great and growing commonwealth -
< monwealth of Nebraska , to promote
their interests , and under obediance to
their expressed will , I hope , that In all
things concerning the dignity of citizen
ship and public weal , we may go hand In
Jiand toward the faithful fulfillment of
our accepted trust ; guided by our best
'wisdom ambitious In the „ performance
of our labors' and at all times true to the
honor and escutcheon of the state. We
oneethere Instructed by the public voice ,
you in your spere and I in mine , dlSerent
'in action , yet the same in end. As public
servants , with express commands , we
shall be held to strict account by
those who sent us here. Subterfuges
-and strategies and weak expedients will
all be swept away when we are called
upon to explain the record made within
these walls. Our principles abandoned
< and our pledges unperformed , the people
ple disregarded and the state betrayed ,
means tomorrow , as it meant yesterday ,
awift and complete poltlical death. In
all that pertains to blooming fields and
-prosperous homes ; in all that brings the
people of the prairies In close alliance
wuu tne people 01 tne towns ; in the
promotion of their welfare ; In the pro
tection of their rights ; the redress of
their wrongs ; in lifting-their burdens and
the speedy granting ot their appeals , and
finally in strict and evenkanded justice
to all , I herewith extend you my hearty
-approval in advance.
I have the honor , therefore , gentle
men , to present briefly for your con
sideration , a few suggestions of what has
appeared to be essential to the welfare
and contentment of the people of this
state.
ECONOMY H- PUBLIC AFFAIRS.
The public business should be con
ducted on the same business principles
that characterize the prudent man in the
'management of his own private affairs.
Unnecessary expense should not be in
dulged. The public servlco should not
fbe a neat for useless appointees. As dls-
ijursers of the public funds , your duty
and your official trust should be considered -
ered too sacred to be thus prostituted and
abused. No official , high or low , should
be generous at the expense of the pee
ple. The administration of every state
institution should be conducted with
strict fidelity to Its object and purpose
and on a basis of exact economy ;
-and in every Instance , if such
be found , all supernumeraries
should ba promptly dismissed. In
the management of that branch of pub-
dic affairs confided to my charge , all
those clothed with power by me shall be
'held to the line of impartial duty ; their
'fitness made paramount , and full and
complete service exacted and required.
As trustees of an express trust , let us get
together on all matters of state , to the
end that our people may bs made pros
perous , and the commonwealth exalted
co a proud position in the history of the
( land. From the length and breadth of
the state comes the cry of oppressive tax
ation. Living is high and the markets
are low ; while back in the stricken sec-
'tions we hear the plaint of suffering and
distress. It is our duty to lessen
these hardships and soften these pains.
Every dollar paid out to a useless em
ploye Is a theft from the pockets of the
poor. In my judgment , ir would be well
that you designate a committee to ex-
-amlne and inquire Into the executive
offices of the government and all institu
tions of the state , with a view to learning
their condition , the number of attaches ,
the character of their respective labors
and the cost of their maintenance and
support I believe that as a result
thereof many sinecures would be abolished
ished and idle officers discharged. This
would be one step towards the peoples'
relief.
USURY LAV.'S ,
Nebraska is comparitaveiy a new state.
Its grand resources are yet in process of
-developement. Immigrants are flocking
rte its public lands , and strength , energy
and enterprise are making Its fields
blossom arid its factories hum with toll.
' .Borrowed capital , therefore , must enter
largely Into the work of such develope-
- ment : Interest rates ar * higher and rank
usury more of tan demanded and enforced
"in new communitief than in the old. Two
and three p r cent per month are too
often exacted in this state from the lowly
and the poor. Our present interest law
* flx-sseven per cent per annum as the
'
legal rate , but permits' ten per cent per
9annum by special contract , If more
'than the latter amount is reserved or con-
' traded for , the penalty is for-
/elture of all interest , and the len-
'der can only recover the amount
actually loaned. Whether legisla
tion reducing interest below its present
rate would ba wise is a serious question
at this time. It Is an argument of much
.force and consistency , that any material
induction from the present legal rates
would tend to divert capital from our
state and thus produce a stringency in
our money circulation. The re-
'sult would be to cripple our
commerce , and work injury to every
line of industrial aid. Tnat the many
wrongs Inflicted by the usurer should be
checked Is a crying demand. It rests
with you to do RO. I suggest and recom-
'inend the enactment of a law
with severe penalties , ample to reach
and destroy that class of extortion and
jaunish those who practice it.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
* state Is to be congratulated on the
-tiilclency of its public teachers and the
high educational standard to which our
youth has attained. In public education ,
-as in every line of progress , the state has
.made a proud record. In the past
'twenty years our school districts have increased -
creased from 797 to G.243 , and our school
children from 32,789 to 332,243. State
interference , or state supervision over
/private , parochial or denominational
schools ought not to be encouraged.
Ample constitutional guards exist against
the diversion of school funds to anj- such
institution. Though the state lur-
nlahes education 'free , it should at
'thesame time accord to all the
night tc-receive the benefits of education
'from any source they may select. Any
action taken by you for the advancement
of public education and the dissemina
tion of-knowledge will receive "my most
cordial endorsement. Much : compjaiqt
ta heard regarding the excessive prices'
demanded for moat of the standard backs
used in our public schools. We neet
such legislation as will furnish books to
our schools , if not free , at least at the
publishers' wholesale price. A large
sum of money can be saved to tha pee
pie annually by inaugurating effective
reforms in the method of school book
supply.
SUFFRAGE.
The state of Nebraska should be fully
abreast with the reform movements else
where looking to the better regulation ol
the suffrage. The sacrednesa of the bal
lot should be protected by guarding its
secrecy. Purity in elections should be
enforced by stringent regulations. The
voter should ba removed from all opoor-
tunlty to be corruptly influenced. This
subject is entitled to your earnest and
early attention. I have the honor to
recommend :
First An exclusive official ballot ,
Issued to the voter by election officers ,
after he shall have passed the ordeal of
challenge.
Second A separate booth wherein he
may retire and prepare his ballot , fold
and vote It without the knowledge of any
one as to the character of his vote.
Third Keeping all persons not offerIng -
Ing to vote , except election officers and
challenger a reasonable distance away
from the polls.
Fourth Limiting to each precinct a
certain number of voters , not exceeding
two hundred.
In my judgment It would ue a wise
provision to require all establishments
employing a large number of men to be
closed for at least two hours during the
voting time of each election day , under
severe penalties. The consensus of
opinion , public and private , is that the
operation of laws containing the features
I have referred to , has been most satis
factory in those states where practically
tried , and that their continuance in such
states is an assured fact. Such a balljo
reform movement is no longer an experi
ment. It has been and is a successful
effort toward a free and honest expres
sion by the people in the exercise of the
right of suffrage. Such legislation tends
to give to free men the protected right of
voting a free and secret ballot uninflu
enced and uncoerced by Improper inter
ference. Above all , 15 removes the bar
rier so frequently obstructing the man of
merit and education , yet poor in worldly
goods , from entering the race for honor
and distinction in office against an influen
tial and wealthy rival. When the appor
tunity to use money in elections is cut
off , political assessments for the purchase
of votea will not prevail. The result will
be that no excuse will exist for placing
this or that man upon a ticket solely be
cause he is able to meet such assess
ments , but any citizen will have an equal
chance with his fellows irrespective of
the condition of his means. Every safe
guard should surround the voter. Upon
the exercise of his judgment and free
will , depends the Integrity of our insti
tutions and the purity of our laws. The
Australian ballot system , or any similar
measure tending toward the untrammeled -
meled exercise of this right will receive
my unqualified support. This need
of reform is intensified by the pres
ent aspect of our November re
sult. Public money has been wasted in
a contest directly traceable to the defects
In our present election laws. Frauds are
not only possible but easily made to suc
ceed. The reputation of the state is im
paired by the published testimony of the
reckless and irresponsible. The legisla
ture should prevent its future repetition.
A law to th-.t end is imperative. I
trust you will examine the different elec
tlon systems which now prevail and
frame therefrom a measure ample to de
termine these evils and accomplish these
reforms.
SUMPTUARY LAAVS.
The people of this state have recently
declared themselves on that class of legis
lation known as sumptuary laws. The
question of the manufacture and sale of
liquor , after full investigation , broad
discussion , and cool contemplation was
duly presented to the people at large.
The result is known. What was then a
matter of vital import to the state's on
ward march to prosperity and renown
would seem to be wrapped in that sleep
of death which has neither resurection
nor remorse. So pronounced a speech
by the people should not by you be ig
nored. The line of duty would seem to
be to accept the people's declaration and
lay all tnoughts of such enactments
aside.
JUDICIARY.
On this question I beg leave to say
that something should be done to relieve
the supreme judiciary. The need of at
least two more judges is best empha
sized by the crowded docket of the court ,
and the powerlessness of the present
able and worthy bench to dispose of bus
iness as rapidly as it accumulates. This
matter is of positive importance and
direct interest to the people in every sec
tion of the state. Causes entitled to im
mediate hearing , rights demanding the
fullest legal research , and wrongs that
should receive speedy remedies go on
from day to day , month after month
without decision or decree , to the serious
inconvenience of these unable to bear
the delays and costs of litigation and to
the great grievance of the people at
large. A constitutional amendment to
meet this emergency was rejected at the
las' ; election. Without any special ad
vocacy it was left to its merits. These
were not well understood. The people
looked upon it as one more burden and
eo voted it down. It is , however , not
a burden , but a measure for the
speedy relief of one. My examination
of this subject induces me to submit to
you the advisability of calling a consti
tutional convention for the purpose of
making such changes in the charter of
the state as will best affect the end de
sired. Whether It would be well so to
do I leave entirely with you to decide.
Our judiciary holds so important a rela
tion to the business affairs of our people ,
jn the adjustment of controversies at all
times arising , affecting the rights of per
sons and property , that anything that can
be done to place it on a high plane must
be to the Interest , advantage and satit-
faction of the whole people. An ad
vance in the salaries of the judges will
undoubtedly secure the services on the
bench of those best qualified to judge
the law and administer justice. In a
state of strength and sterling Intelligence
of Nebraska , it would seem to be reason
enough to blush with shame that the
clerks and subordinates of our courts re
ceive more than double and treble th
pay of : the judges whose whole time Is
In upholding and - enforcing the
'
RAILROADS.
The platforms of the political parties
represented in this legislature , all favor
revision of our law relating to the sub
ject of transportation by rail. Our pres
ent system permits the practice of unjust
discrimination and extortion. It Is
claimed to be carried on to such extent
as to rob the farmer of prosperity and
impede the advancement of the state.
To provide such relief as the condition
requires is one of your most serious
tasks. Your discretion will be taxed to
remedy one grievance without imposing
another. Remembering the. important
rights at stake on all sides , your actions
should be well studied , deliberate and
free from prejudice or personal pride.
Study for yourselves the cause of pub-
He complaint and grant -the due relief ;
but do not unjustly burden and oppress
the heavy vested rights in these lines of
transportation which have done much
and promise more for the full develop
ment of this state. Of all substitutes
offered for our present mode of controll
ing such transportation , examine each
and every one. select the most salutary
features and embody them into a just and
dispassionate law. The object to be at
tained is the union of the interests of the
corporations with those of our people.
If these companies were mad-j to share
the vicissitudes of the public ; to suffer
by its depression ab well as to profit by
It3 prosperity , complaints of discrimina
tion and extortion would not be heard.
In solving this important but much vexed
problem , it should be your duty
: o weld together the rights and inter
ests of the owners of and the patrons
of these numerous lines. Situated mid
way between the two seaboards , our people
ple are vitally interested in the question
jf cheap transportation. Legislative at
tempts hitherto to establish low rates of
; ransportation for the product of our
farms have not been satisfactory to the
producers. These corporations are crea-
; ures of and under control of the law ,
and you should so legislate between
; hem and the people as to protect all and
njure none. Having full control of the
nland carrying trade of the country ,
these corporations are in position to exact
unjust tribute from the people , and that
; hey will do so , unless carefully guarded
jy tne legislature , needs. no proof
lere. It is the duty of the state
jovernment to studiously watch over and
jrotect the rights of the people in the
natter of railroad tariffs , to the end that
they may enjoy the benefit of the lowest
rates consistent with honesty and fair
dealing. Let me announce here my
'avor to any measure operating In the in-
; erests of the people. Let us , however ,
> e just to all , , unjust to none. Do not
enter upon the passage of laws whose
nevitable result will be to retard the
growth of our railroad system , and ren-
ler such properties unproductive and
heir investments undeslred. The peo-
> le appear to regard the present board of
ransportation as having accomplished
ittle or nothing in their behalf. Their
nterests might , and doubtless would be
better subserved by the creation of such
i commission as exists in the neigh-
) oring state of Iowa. Tour right
o establish maximum tariffs
ales Is not denied. Such legislation ,
however , is deemed to rest on delicate
ground , because of the vast diversity of
nmmodities and the many peculiar and
istlngulshing features which enter Into
he carrying trade. The present board of
ransportation has the right to establish
easonable maximum rates , though it
has never exercised its authority. If
rour honorable body , however , should
decide to take this matter in hand , I
would respectfully suggest that your
work in that direction be confined to a
limited number of commodities in car
load lots , such as coal , grain , live stock ,
lumber and others. My individual judg
ment is that it would be more advisable
so to amend our constitution as to permit
the election by the people of a nonpartisan -
partisan commission , whose exclusive
business should be to regulate and ad
just tariff rates , and at all times stand
between the railroads and the people of
the state.
PUBLIC WAREHOUSES.
The state of Nebraska is known the
world over as a vast agricultural state.
All measures tending to protect and ad
vance this great interest are of prime ne
cessity. I have long observed the value
of a law whose effect is to regulate the
handling and storage of grain in elevators
and warehouses. The- system now in
vogue in the state of Nebraska is wholly
In the hands of p7lvate parties and cor
porations uncontrolled by and not re
sponsible to any statute of this state. To
afford that protection which is due to the
agriculturalist , I would earnestly recom
mend that the legislature formulate a
measure somewhat similar to the law of
Illinois , which seems to have given satis
faction to all parties interested.
COLTOIBIAX EXPOSITION.
I deem it of prime importance that the
natural resources and productions of our
state ba fully made known , and indus
tries of our people be adequately rep
resented at me lonncoimng coiumoian
expoeitlon.
The several states of the union will be
represented at this exposition , and they
are making liberal appropriations in that
behalf. It behooves Nebraska to main
tain her proud standing in the front
rank.
I would racommend that the funds de
rived from such an appropriation be
placed under the supervision of a board
composed of three members , to be ap
pointed by the governor ; and to the end
that such board be non-partisan , I sug
gest that one member is selected from
of each of the three principal political
parties of the state.
3IILITIA ,
A great public emergency , exceptional
in Its character , required the calling out
* bf the Nebraska National guard. They
were sent forward at once and took a po
sition in the field which covered the set
tlements on the northern border , which
enabled them to act as a reserve for c e
United States forces at the Pine Ridge
agency only a few miles away. I have
not as yet a report of the campaign from
Brigadier-General Colby , who command
ed the forces in the field , but despatches
from Major-General Nelson A. Mile ? , U.
S , A. , confirm the efficiency of our officers
and men , and bear testimony to the
material and moral aid to the forces
under his command.
I congratulate the people of Nebraska
over the fact that peace lasting , it is
hoped , has been restored without the loss
of a man killed in battle.
I will , at an early date , as soon as I
have xeceiTed all of the reports , forward
to your honorable body a complete sta'e
ment of all expenditures , to enable you
to make the necessary appropriation for
the expenses incurred. It goes without
saying that this will be only a temporary
expenditure on the part of the state , as
the United States government will duly
reimburse to the state ail the money thus
expended. '
I take this opportunity to congratulate
the Nebraska youth who have taken
part in this , the first campaign in which
the Nebraska national guards have been
engaged ; they left their homes at a mo
ment's notice , taking their lives in their
own hands , and hurrying to the front
in the midst of winter , subjecting them
selves to the hardships consequent there
to ; and I dare hop that you will duly
recognize the services of the Nebraska
national guards.
DROUTII SUFFERERS.
Owing to the extreme drouth of the
last season In the western part of the
state , many of the settlers are In needy
condition and will require aid from some
source until the crops of next season will
afford them sustenance. Some doubt
may exist as to toe power of the legislat
ure to make an appropriation in this be
half , but if aid can be lawfully given , I
will readily sanction a generous appro
priation for the relief ot our suffering
citizens.
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS.
A great political evil , confined to no
section of the country , and affecting all
political parties the same , is the present
method of selecting your presidential
electors. You should remedy the pres
ent ID justice. You are at liberty to name
these electors in whatsoever manner you
may see fit. Under the constitution of
the United States each state is allowed a
number of such electors equal to the
number of its senators and representa
tives in congress. It is in my judgment
the spirit of that instrument that bucn
electors should be chosen by the people
in the same manner. These electors are
now nominated and voted for at large.
This results in the selection of the nomi
nees of the dominant party of the state ,
though such party in certain congres
sional districts may be in the minor
ity. The injustice of the system
la thus apparent. It is the
people who select the nation's law
makers. Each district , therefore , enoum
have the privilege of manifesting its
presidential choice along with the choice
of its representative in Congress. In a
"
democratic district the "presidential
elector would and should be democratic ;
in a republican district he would and
should be republican. This condition Is
as keenly felt in the south as in the
north ; is as unfair in democratic Texas
as in republican Nebraska. The pres
ent plan really confers the choice of pres
ident upon four states whose political
complexion Is never to be relied on.
Narrowed down to this area we can see
the value and power of corrupt
methods and means. The vast
moneyed and political strength that
centralizes in New York , Indiana , New
Jersey and Connecticut , every four years ,
would find a field too broad for effective
manipulation In every state if the union
would choose such electors as it chooses
its congressmen. This quartette of so-
called pivotal states would no longer mo
nopolize the honor of electing tne chief
magistrate of the entire country. The
power to begin this reform is in your
hands. Under the next congressional
apportionment this state will b entitled
to eight presidential electors. The elec
tion of two at large and one in each con
gressional district would prevent the dls-
Iranchlsemant of minorities and secure
a more equitable expression of the popu
lar will in a vote for the president of the
United States. Start this reform and you
will find in a short time that every state
in the union will imitate your system and
copy your law.
In conclusion , gentlemen of the senate
ard house of representatives , I am
prompted to ask of you that close com
munion which should always pxist be
tween your honorable selves and the ex
ecutive of your state. Let all personal
and political considerations , for the time ,
be laid aside. Let us be distinguished in
our labors for the good of our fellows
and the glory of the state , by that exalted
ambition which arises above party affilia
tions and party strife , and when , at last ,
we part and go out irom the scenes of
our pnblic service , let us bear away with
us that high consideration and respect ,
each for the other-that endearing re-
memberance of our public and sccial
relations and that sterling confidence iu
the sincerity and honor of us all , without
which , offclal life loses its most pleasing
charm.
Immediately thereafter the bouse ad
journed until Tuesday at 10 a. in. and
the senate uutil 2 p. in. today.
JAMES E. BOYD.
by tlie KnJiroatls.
In Illinois there vrere 176 railroad em
ployes killed and 1.030 injured during
1890. If , during the present Indian war ,
the killed and wounded should , equal
these numbers , what a , wail -would go up
all over the country ! Aud yefc these rail
road men were as bravo and faithful as
any soldier in the array , and their livss
were as valuable to the -world and as
dear to their friends and relatives. Tkeso
1,235 were men killed anil wounded in a
single state during a single year. The
agi regate of railroad employes killed
and wounded in the United States each
year reaches into the thousands.
But railroad men fall ono at a time ,
not in battalions. Those who die today
will be forgotten in tlie list that -will fol
low them into eternity to-morrow. Some
faithful helper , Avhose glove is caught
between the "bumpers , " sees a car mov
ing to crush him out of the semblance of
a human being : or some poor mother's
son , who treads the brakeman's plank in
the darkness of tlie nght. slips and falls ,
and Heaven only sees the agony of the
death struggle under the cars. It is a
stead } * stream of unfortunates going to
their account , and the world takes little
note of them or of their awful death.
But the saddest thing about all this
loss of life and limb is that much of it
might be prevented. Safety couplers
and safety braks are no longer experi
ments. They are practicable , and have
been so pronounced by the best railroad
men in the country. Legislatures have
been slow to act , nui railroad corpora
tions have been slower to make the
necessary outlay to equip their cars with
safety appliances. But the time is com
ing when the lives of railroad men will
no longer be jeopardized. It can come
none too soon to relieve anxious wives
and -worrying mothers of the gallant
railroad men. Des Moines Register.
