By wise provision of the constitution, It Is the duty of the executive to furnish to the legislature et the opening of each fession, au account of hit stewardship , and a state ment of the condition of the state's affairs, with such recommendation as will, In hi judgment, bent promote the welfare of thf Ktate and the public oci Wwto i'lna&cea. That which, in my judgment, is at this period of most concern to the state, is the ron- V . : m . '. X 1.'..- Un 4t time in a long period of years the state treas ury is depleted to the extent that the cur rent obligations of the state cannot be met; and tho state warrants are thus bearing in - terest and causing greatly increased running expenses through interest diarees, necessita ting an increase in taxation. The lost legis ture trreaUv increased the appropriations for the eonduotof the affairs of state,buttiiadeno 'Drovision for an Increased levy to meet toe additional expense. The general fund in the state treasury Dec., 192, shows a balance of $ia,ft33.0.r; against which sum outstanding registered warrants have been called for . payment.

The ato tionsoyerwii: child, i'oieomplctinfr the roll, Of tho years. He u. tisborne wus the chairman. pute ana U itutLZ-Jiejvcnt on, have he long ministration, I am constrained to lay special emphasis for tho necessity or a tuorougn re form in the management of the public insti tutions of the state. Particularly is this true with regard to the extravagant, and, in some instances, dishonest expenditure of the funds provided for the maintenance of those institutions. While the most flagrant in stance of this has been revealed la Uie con duct of the hospital for the insane at Lin coln, and for which the former superinten dent, m-ss asd should be heid liable, I am en tirely satisfied that a like condition has here tofore existed in connection with other insti tutions. I mav recall to yon the circumstances which led to the investigation and exposure of tho unsatisfactory condition of affairs which had prevailed at tho Lincoln institute. With a view to an honest and economic adminis tration of the affairs of that institution, 1 in stituted a system of comparative statements between a given numler ,of months under the present administration aud a like period under nreooodinz managements, and found such an enormous difference as could not be ascrilied to parsimony. Ho pronounced was this difference in the matter of supplie consumed, (being about Ai Tier cent loss. that 1 became convinced that thoro had been dishonesty connected with the transactions o( tlw former management; and ou the 2!tb day of September. 1SJ!1 I called upon the board of public lands and buildings to make a thorough investigation 01 ciiarges w&tcn had been mado at a public ineetiug by E. 0. ltewick, esq. The investigation which followed developed such a state of affairs as warranted an in vestigation by tho grand jury, with the re sult that a number of criminal indictments were found, with which tho courts have yet to deal. Corroborative of my opinion that the state institutions may he conducted more econom ically than hus been tho custom, I cite you tho following showing from the official re port of the superintendent of the hospital lor Insauo at Liucoln, a comparative state ment of expenditures from March 'Jl, lo'.H, to November 30, lh'J2: Comparative Statement. ! 1851.

I may nl-;o add that tho report of tho, superintendent of the asylum for chronic insane, at Hastings, with au average increase of twenty patients, makes a comparative showing for a period of ten months of a sav ing of S7.O71.O0; and a comparative state ment for six mouths shows ft saving of $:J, 770.00 at tho hospital for insane, at Norfolk. For a period of ci;;ht months, with an in creased number of inmates of twenty-five per cent, there is a saving shown at the soldiers' aud sailors' home, at Grand Island, of 5,(XlO. From tho facts and figures thus brought to my attention by tho officials in charge of those institutions, whom 1 have lieen per mitted to appoint, lam convinced that tho said institutions can lx conducted in their running expenses, exclusive of salaries, for about sixty-six per cent of tho amount here tofore consumed.

The report of the Commissioner of public lands and btuMicgs, w far as it relate to educational lands aud funds, presents some matters w hW-h should be a source of pride and satisfaction to every citizen of the state. Tabulated statements show that Ne braska has had granted to it for educational purposes a total of 2,iW,415 acres of land of which amount 7.'t4.!04 are common school lands. Of the total amount title is yet vested in the state to 2,42,704 acres; of this amount 573,39 acres are nnder stale contract: 1.4'i2,07 aro under leased con tract, and 445,007 acres are neither leased nor sold. The report further shows that there is now invested in tho United States, bonds, state securities and registered county bonds belonging to tho permanent school fund, the sum of SJ,525,872.:i5, and cash in the state treasury amounting to KJ0,iJ'.lS.39; making a total of $3,016,270.(4. An increase in the permanent school fund during tho last two years of i270,'J03.53. Tho common school lands now under leaso produce an annual rental of iX710.08. This, with the nnnw.l interest and unpaid principal on said contracts amounts to $230, 170. 11. which with tho added interest amounting to So,542.dl makes a lunu or fcCS5, 428.50 to lie annually apportioned to the rchool districts of the stato in addition to the revenue derived from the investment of the permanent school fund on the state treasury. This is a magnificent showing for the educational advantages of our state, and reflects great credit upon those founders of our statu who in tho early days -conserved its ?ehool interests. Tho honorable commissioner also calls attention to tho imperfect and ambiguous laws regulating tho procuring of right of way over state lands by irrigation com panies, which I consider especially worthy of your attention. The state superintendent of public in struction iu his report, also deals with some subejets relative to public education which 1 consider worthy of your consideration. 1. The equalization so far as possible, of school taxation iu tho various districts of the state. 2. Legislation requiring a uniform course of study for district schools. 3. Legislation making the boundaries of government townships the school district line with a board of trustees for each with the power to make necessary provision for the educational needs of tho youth of the district, and tho bringing of such boards into closer relations with tno county aud btate superintendents. Stnto University. The report of tho board of regents of tho state university makes a particularly grati fying showing. The growth of the univer sity during the last biennial period h:is been phenomenal. The attendance has more than doubled; tho present enrollment being nine hundred and Ui'ty-seveti (i)57). This regis tration represents twenty states basides Ne braska, aud sixty-four Nebraska counties. Tho close connection of tho university with the public school system is shown by the fact that three hundred and eighty-seven (W7) pupils come from public high schools and three hundred and fifteen (315) froin public schools. Tho advanced standing of the university and its strong hold upon all who are seeking the best facilities for higher education is niuuu'csted by the fact that one hundred and twenty-flvo (125) of the students com? from other colleges and universities, largely within this state.
