rra vorssponsiblii ties I hay* assumed, I am
fully aware of the manifold and arduoui
duties attaching to the office to which I have
Just been inducted. Were I called upon to
encounter at one time all the perplexing
difficulties to be met, well might I be ap
palled at the magnitude of the undertaking,
but, encouraged by an earnest desire to
faithfully administer the duties of the
office, I am hopeful of being able to master
these difficulties singly as they arise with
a reasonble degree of satisfaction to the
people of the state, of whom I am but an
humble servant.
It shall bo my disinterested and unselfish
purpose to direct my entire efforts to the
faithful and impartial observance of the
constitutional provision which declares
“that the supreme executive power shall be
vested in the governor, who shall take care
that the laws are faithfully executed," to
the end that good government may prevail
and the rights of each and every citizen be
zealously guarded and protected.
In assuming the onerous duties of this
office, I am able to content myself with the
thought that there is a right way and a
wrong way to decide each perplexing ques
tion, and, with a firm determination to as
certain the right and then adhere to it, I
hope the burdens may be lessened, the work
simplified and the duties fully discharged.
Although imssessing various political be
liefs we as legislators and executive should
have but one great object In view—to dis
charge the duties incumbent upon us in a
business-like manner for the common good
of all. Each of you as a legislator has been
elected as the advocate of the principles of
some political party, but today you repre
sent all the people of your district. In my
capacity I shall earnestly endeavor to be the
governor of all the people. Ae the represen
tatives of political ideas you will probably
have but one duty to perform—the election
of a United States senator; in your capacity
as representatives of the people of your dis
tricts you will doubtloss have many matters
of great importance to consider.
The pronounced majority of one political
party in both branches of the legislature
will doubtless insure the election of a repre
sentative of the state in the senate of the
nation without unnecessary delay.
In disposing of the business of my fellow
citizens in the capacity of governor, I so
licit your counsel and hearty co-operation.
I apprehend that our relations will be mutu
ally cordial and agreeable and redound to
the good of the entire people, whom we alike
Possessing no knowledge of tbe condition
of the various departments of the state gov
ernment,other than that enjoyed in common
by all our citizens, it is not my intention, nor
do I deem it to be my duty, to enter into a
detailed discussion of the management and
requirements of these departments. In his
message, my distinguished predecessor,
Governor Crounse, has given you much
vaiuablo information and advice to aid you
in the discharge of your duties. Its com
prehensiveness and completeness in detail
commend it to you as legislators and to me
as his successor for our careful considera
tion,
Un trammeled Suffrage.
The preservation of the sanctity of the
ballot Is necessary to the perpetuation of
self-government. It is by the ballot that
the voice of the people is heard and their
will registered touching all matters connect
ed with the affairs or state. A failure to
give to each elector the privilege of casting
his ballot without fear or prejudice, accord
ing to the dictates of his conscience, is to
that extent a failure of popular government.
Each citizen possessing the right of franchise
should have untrammeled freedom in ex
pressing by his vote his individual
sentiments agreeable to his own
conception of duty as a citi
cen, without regard to his station in life, his
education, his occupation or the degree of
intelligence with which he has been endowed
by his Crentor. It is your duty to
sacredly guard this right to your fellow
electors and to reduce to the absolute min
imum any infringement of it. Especially
does it seem to me that the employes of the
larger c wporations should, by wise legisla
tion, have such protecting care thrown
about them that they may in the exercise of
the right of suffrage act without any fear
whatsoever from the displeasure of their
employers, whose political convictions may
be different from their own.
It is undented that the Australian ballot
law was a needed reform and has done much
towards purifying elections in Nebraska,
but I am confident it would grant a privi
lege without mischief if the law should bo
amended by you so that the elector can des
ignate, where it is possible, his choice of can
didates and at the same time express by his
ballot his political convictions.
I would respectfully suggest that each po
litical party having a fair percentage of the
vote in any district should have representa
tion on the election board, and that not more
than two judges should be selected from any
one political party.
There can be no more important subject
for the careful consideration of lawmakers
than the protection of the purity of the
ballot, and I would most. respectfully call
your attention to our existing election laws
and invite a comparison with those of other
states, to the end that amendments may be
made rendering bribery and undue influence
of tho voter more nearly impossible and
facilitating the more rapid and accurate
counting of votes.
Dronth Sufferer*.
I regret the necessity demanding a careful
consideration of the actual want of a great
number of our people caused by the drouth
of last year. Nature has bountifully blessed
Nebraska. Her climate is unexcelled and
her soil responds generously to the labor of i
the husbandman. For years prior to 189(1
there was an uninterrupted era of good
crops. Rapidly the domain of the rancher
was encroached upon by the farmer. Front
various states came an energetic class of
good citizens to make their homes in west
ern Nebraska. Generally they were poor
and depended upon the first season’s crop !
to supply themselves and families with all the
immediate necessities of life, and until 1890
they never relied in vain. Then came one
season when the accustomed rains failed to
fall and hot winds swept over the country,
carrying devastation to the fields of growing
grain. Since then there have been alternat
ing good and poor crops, culminating in the
general drouth of 1894.
While this drouth extended practically
over the entire country, it was particularly
disastrous in the western portion of the
state. Distressed by combats with previous
partial crop failures, many farmers with
only moderate means were wholly unpre
pared to meet the drouth. Many had been
unable, on account of the short time of their
residence, to store up grain sufficient to meet
the exigencies of thU extraordinary occasion.
Some removed from the state, but the great
majority, possessing the utmost faith in the
country, remained, determined to hold on to
their possessions in the drouth-stricken dis
trict. If patience and long suffering make
people deserving, the harvest of 1895 should
be bountiful.
Our great state is able to take care of its
own poor and many of the county boards
have, with commendable energy, provided
work with compensation for the able-bodied
needy in their own counties, but there is
still necessity for quick relief to be extended
to many portions of the stat?, so that all her
people may be comfortable during the pres
ent winter and have an opportunity to seed
and work their ground for the coming har
vest. I know some claim that the legislative
body has no right to make the people donate
to the needy and that such work should be
left to individuals who are charitably in
clined, but every government is in "duty ;
bound to provide at public expense the :
necessities to sustain life to its own needy in- j
habitants and especially is this the case i
when the needy are without fault on their !
part. i
The Reiter Commission.
The relief commission created by the law
of 18SH) is still in existence. It was revived
and the vacancies tilled by my predecessor.
Governor Crounse, and has been actively
engaged in tho work of assisting the deserv
ing needy by distributing food and cloth.eg i
furnished by charitably inclined people from !
•wy section of the country.
f Ucie cpmmiagipnpr* hare doubtless ex
Madid considerable money in the work, re
ly1*** on the legislature to make pro
vision to indemnify them for neces
sary expenses iucurred, and their
services will be required until seed is ho«u
in the spring for another crop. In order to
effectively carry on the work of assisting
the deserving drouth sufferers with tho least
possible expense, I would respectfully sug
gest that the laws of 1890 bo remodelled aud
that relief appropriations sufficient to sup
ply the necessities of these people during the
winter be placed in charge of tho commis
sioners for distribution, under such safe
guards as may be doomed wise in order that
only the needy receive aid and that no un
necessary expenses be incurred.
I feel confident that tho groat railways of
the state will assist the distribution with
free transportation,or, at least, witn greatly
reduced rates. I would further suggest that
legislation be had so that each county iu the
more severely afflicted portions of the state
may be able to vote bonds, which may be
made a very proper mode of investment for
a large sum or the now idle permanent school
fund, in order to provide ready means to
secure seed to sow and grain for stock for
the coming crop season.
If on investigation it is deemed wise and
practicable, it will be well to consider whether
special assessments may not be levied on the
land where the seed is furnished, or by some
other means require of the beneficiary to re
pay in installments the value of the grain
furnished, together with interest com
mensurate with the rate the bonds bear.
It is well to bear in mind that the people
thus to be favored are not asking for charity.
They are a hardy set of farmers who have
been struggling against adversities over
which they liad no control and they ask tem
porary assistance merely to tide over the
present difficulty and will gladly make re
payment for all the seed and grain thus fur
nished.
This subject I regard as one of pressing
importance, demanding your first energies
in your work as legislators, in order tnafc
suitable enactments may bo made as speed
ily as possible and at the same time with due
consideration of tho work to be done,so that
the result of your labors shall meet the
exigencies of the occasion and also receive
that degree of deliberation and caro which
should characterize all legislation. I trust,
gentlemen, that you will at once direct your
attention to this subject and make such dis
position of it as in your wisdom you may
deem proper.
irrigation.
One of the most important subjects that
you will have to deal with during this ses
sion, and one far-reaching in its results is
irrigation. The subject has been gradually
growing in favor with the people, especially
west of the one hundreth principal meridian.
Its merits have been investigated and
proven by actual tests and it is now an ac
cepted fact that very large areas in the
western portion of the state, where the
small amount of rainfall renders tlio matu
rity of crops precarious, can, by a projicr
system of irrigation and because of the ex
cellence of the soil and the otherwise favora
ble climatic conditions, be made to yield
most bountifully and with unvarying cer
tainty. The subject is a live one. Too
much care cannot be given to the enactment
of laws to meet every requirement of our
local conditions in this regard.
The great waterways in the state and on
its borders have heretofore in early spring
run bankful of water. In the early sum
mer they have joined with the waters of the
Mississiopi and Ohio and many seasons have
spread devastation over the fertile bottoms
of Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana, while
the vegetation of a portion of Nebraska was
in many places withering and dying for
want of water. The government has seen
fit to expend millions of dollars in the con
struction and maintenance of great levees
to protect the property and lives of the peo
ple residing along the rivers in the south.
Would it not conserve a double purpose and
be productive of inestimable good to both
sections if the government would direct its
efforts toward turning the waters of the
western tributaries of the Mississippi river
into great resei voirs and thence into irrigat
ing ditches for the development of sections
of the country which now produce very
little?
A proper system of irrigation would
doubtless make the fertile plains of Ne
braska and similar states produce an inex
haustible supply of the sweetest vegetables
and best cereals, and thus by spreading the
water in the springtime would reclaim the
great river bottoms of our southern neigh
bors and make them the kings of corn and
cotton countries.
I am not familiar with the practical work
ings of irrigation, but your body contains
some members who have given considerable
time to the investigation of the subject and
a few who have had years of practical ex
perience in irrigation. They will doubtless
render valuable service in advising and
framing practical legislation. From the in
vestigation I have been able to give to this
important subject, I do not hesitate to
recommend a district irrigation law, to be
framed from the good which may be found
in Wyoming laws on the subject, and to be
guarded by a clause enabling the users of
the water to control its distribution and
price so that it may be to them a source of
pecuniary benefit rather than an engine of
oppression in the hands of speculators. A
good law on this subject so framed as to pro
tect the rights of those directly interested in
irrigation will substantially encourage the
work, and drouths and consequent suffering
will no longer menace the welfare of the
rifinnlft
Railroad Leg l elation.
The fundamental law of the state declares
that the railways in Nebraska are public
highways and shall be free to all persons for
the transportation of their property and
persons thereon, under such regulations as
may be prescribed by law. It gives to the
legislature power to pass laws from time to
time establishing a reasonable maximum
rate of charges for the transportation of
passengers and freight. It also declares
that the legislature shall enact law s to cor-'
rect abuses aud preveut unjust discrimina
tion and extortion in charges by express,
telegraph and railroad companies.
The railroads of this state have been one
of the most important factors in bringing
about its rapid development, and it is of ut
most importance to all citizens of Nebraska
that this great interest be sustained and en
couraged. To the construction of the present
extensive system of railways in Nebraska
may be ascribed in a great measure the ma
terial prosperity of the state.
It is an erroneously conceived idea, and
quite prevalent, that the interests of the rail
ways and the people of the state are inimical.
In fact, the success of each lies principally
in the prosperity of the other. The earnings
of the railroads depend on the amount of
business the people are ablo to do, and the
people in turn must look to the railways for
the transportation both of their surplus com
modities to market and of the articles of con
sumption they must obtain from others.
Between the two there should naturally ex
ist the utmost degree of reciprocity.
Notwithstanding the feeling known to ex
ist among the people that they have been
burdened by oppressive rates on transporta
tion, I am certain that there is no demaud
on their part for any unjust action that
would tend to cripple the great highways of
commerce. The people are willing to deal
justly by the railway corporations and in
turn demand only fair treatment in the mat
ter of charges for freight aud passenger
transportation.
The subject has been one of constant fric
tion and annoyance between the people and
the railroads for several years past. In vari
ous ways and at different times attempts
have been made at legislation for the pur
pose of settling this question, but so far they
have been without complete success.
Recommends Railroad Comm (anionera
The board of transportation as it now
exists under the law is entirely unsatisfac
tory and is generally regarded as of little
value to the people. Railroad commissioners
elected by the people, with pow’er to regulate
all charges of this character, would, in my
judgment, nearest approach a proper solu
tion of this difficult problem. This, how
ever. cannot be done without amending the
constitution. There has been one submis
sion of the question to the people and it
failed to receive tlie requisite vote, vet I am
persuaded it was more toe result of the ex
citement attending a political campaign,
causing the people to overlook this important
question, than It was of disapproval or want
of real interest in the matter on the part of
the people.
1 am of the opinion that if a constituitionl
amendment creatiug a board of railroad
commissioners, with ample poo er in the
j premises, could lie submitted to tho people it
would receive their approval by an over
whelming majority, and 1 believe this vexed
question could lie nearor settled satisfac
torily in that than in any other manner.
The Maximum Rato Hill.
Different attempts have been made to en
I act into law a maximum freight rate bill,
culrninatiug in the passage of the house roll
No. 83 duriug the session of the preceding
legislature. This bill was approved by the
governor and but for tho process of injunc
tion issued out of the federal court would
now be in operation. You are each
doubtless somewhat familiar with the
history of the case and tho re
cent decision handed down by Judge Brewer
of the United Btates' circuit court. The
question now naturally arising is whether
the decision shall Iks accepted as Anal or pro
visions he made for appealing tho case and
thereby obtaining final decision on tbie very
important matter in a court of last resort.
Tlie points in controversy are of vital inter
est to the people of Nebraska. It would
doubtless 1h) better if an early and final de
cision by tho highest judicial tribunal of the
land could lie obtained, in order that there
might bo a full, fair and accurate under
standing as to the respective rights of tho
people and tho railroad companies touching
the questions involved.
I have no intimate knowledge of the his
tory of the case, of the issues raised therein
or of tho evidence adduced on tho hearing of
the cause. From reading the opinion of tho
learned judge deciding tho caso, I under
stand that every disputed question is found
in favor of the state save tho one of the al
leged unreasonableness of maximum charges
as fixed by the bill. With all duo respect to
the distinguished judge nud thoroughly ap
preciating the didlculties as expressed by
him surrounding a question of this kind, I
am inclined to the belief that the conclusion
reached is based on an orronoous conception
ns to tho proper basis forjesiimuting the costs
slid earnings of tile roads. In the first place
it occurs to me that justice and equity would
indicate that the proper liasiHfor the purpose
of fixing fair and just rates would lie a pres
ent rcsonahle value of the roads ralbor than
what may have been expended in their con
struction by useless extravagance, liad man
agement or tho increased expenditures at
such time os compared with tho present.
Another element in this caso which seems
to be worthy of consideration and which I
fail to find any notice of in tho decision of
the honorable judge is that of the reason
ableness of the expenditures for operating
the roads, and which are taken out of the
gross earnings, thereby reducing the net
earnings. If these operating expenses are
unreasonable it reduces the amount which
goes to meet the demauds of tho bondholders
and stockholders.
it would Room that If tho stockholders
come into court alleging that tho rate*
fixed by the bill are too low, they should be
required to make a full and complete show
ing, not only as to the net earnings of the
roads, but also the income from all sources
and all expenditures and for what purpose
made. Free transportation, rebates, if any,
and other like sources of expenditure or fail
ure to collect revenue rightfully belonging
to the road are all elements to be consid
ered in order to nrrive at a wise and just
decision in a case of that kind. With tho
information you have already received and
after consultation with those who have had
charge of this case, if you, in your wisdom,
deem it expedient to acquiesce in the de
cision rendered by Judge Brewer, I have no
doubt of your ability to enact a law which
will be fair to the people, just to the rail
roads and at the same time violate no con
stitutional rights of either.
Interest on State Warrants.
There is now and has been for some timt
past a large floating Indebtedness existing
against the state, evidenced by registered
warrants on the state treasury. These war
rants are of undoubted security, thereby
making them much sought for as an invest
ment by those engaged in that business.
Under the law they draw interest at tho
rate of 7 per cent, causing them to command
in the market as soon as registered a
premium of from 1 to Si per cent. It occurs
to me a great saving might bo made to the
state and an injury done to no one if the
interest on state warrants be reduced 1 to
1per cent. I am led to believe that state
warrants drawing interest at the rate of
or 0 per cent will always be worth their face
value as an investment.
Necessity of Economy.
It is needless for me to attempt to impress
on you the necessity for the greatest possi
ble economy in the public business consistent
with the proper administration of the affairs
of state. By economy iB not meant such
parsimony as will curtail the usefulness of
state institutions or render less efficient any
branch of the state business, but such watch
ful care in the expenditures os will reduce
to the minimum the burdeus of the tax
payers, which have beon rendered especially
oppressive by the present depressed condi
tions in all branches of bu sincss.
Conclusion.
The press of other business has prevented
me from giving more attention to subjects you
will probably have to cousider during your
session. If occasion requires I shall com
municate further by special message.
I am desirous of extending to you as leg
islators all means within my power which
may in any way assist you in enacting wise
and just legislation. And I trust when the
work of this session is done it may redound
to the good of all the people of the entire
state. I trust that your work during the
short time your labors will be required will
fully demonstrate the wisdom of the people
in selecting you as their representatives in
the legislative department.
Helving for guidance upon the All Wise
Ruler of the destinies of nations, let us take
up the work to which we have been called
by our fellow citizens and discharge our
duties honestly, fearlessly and faithfully.

Makes His Dog linn tlio Press.
Thomas Meredith, a Chicago lad,
owns a printing press and a Newfound
land dog. At first glance there doesn't
seem to be much connection between
them, but Thomus lias made one. He
lias rigged up a power treadmill, in
which ho fastens the dog. In this way
lie gains sutiieient power to run ltia
printing press, which is of course not a
very large one.

People overlooked tho importance of
permanently beneficial effects and were
satisfied with transient, action; but now
that it is generally known that Syrup

An Unclean Trade.
I One of the dirtiest of trades is that of
the weaver of rush chair bottoms. A
well made rush bottom will last a long
time, and the demand is not great,
though their use is reviving. The
rushes come to the weaver still soiled
with some of their native ooze, dry and
dirty. The preparation for the work
requires the wetting and twisting of
the rushes, and in this process muddy
streams arc wrung out. and make dirty
puddles on the floor. It is just possible
hat malaria germs lurk in the rushes.

In a recent article on coiToo and co

fessor Stutzor, speaking of tho Dutch
process of preparing cocoa by the addi
tion of potash, and of tho process com
mon in llermuny in which ummonia is
added, says: "The only rosult of these
processes is to make tho liquid appear
turbid to the eye of the consumor, with
out effecting u real solution of tho co
coa substances. This artificial manip
ulation for the purpose of so-called sol
ubility in, therefore, more or less in
spired by deception, and always takes
place at the cost of purity, pleasant
taste, useful action, and aromatic
flavor. The treatmeut of cocoa by such
chemical mouns is entirely objection- “
able. . . . Cocoa treated with pot
ash or ummonia would lie entirely un
saleable but for tlic supplementary ad
dition of artificial flavors by which a
poor substitute for tho aroma driven
out into tho air is ottered to ilie con

Golden Medical
DISCOVERY
Cures Ninety-eight per cent, of alt
cases of Consumption, in all Ita
Earlier Stages.
Although by many believed to be incura
ble. there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that, ill all its
earlier stages, consumption is a curable
disease. Not every case, but a large per. f:
ventage of vases, and we believe, fully *fS
per vent, are cured by I Jr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ
ing tubercular matterj, great loss of flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
I>o you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported tons as cured by “Golden Med
ical Discovery ” were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease ? Ypu need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experit need home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis
representing them, ami who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of “Golden Medical Discovery.”
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power* over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy “emulsions” and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene
fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for '
a short time. Uxtract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos
pliites had also oeeu faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of a large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 160
pages which will be mailed to you. on re
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.
