HOOD'S ON TOP. r A Mammoth Edition of Beautiful Calendars - endars for 1895. [ From the Lowell , Mass. , Morning Mall. ] flood's calendar for 1895 may now be obtained at the drug stores and every one who gets one secures "a thing of beauty. " Indeed , in the novelty of the design and the exquisiteness of the Coloring , the calendar surpasses all previous issues , just as flood's calendars - dars have for many years surpassed all others. The calendar is formed in J the shape of a heart and is ornamented with two beautiful child faces \vllicll have always been charming lea- tures of Hood's calendars. On the right is a representation I of "Winter , " the sweet little face H with light brown eyes peeping out from a dainty cap , while the snow flakes are falling all about The face tt S on the left is a picture of "Summer , " I and is lighted with blue eyes and the I head covered with bright flowers. The shades are perfectly blended , and the I whole picture is surrounded by a tasty I border. The design was made by Miss Maud Humphrey , one of the most gifted and celebrated water colot' 1 I artists in the country. The calendar I gives the usual information concern- I ing the lunar changes , and upon the I back is printed a table of astronomical I . events especially calculated for C. I. t Hood & Co. I The calendar is issued to advertise ' flood's Sarsaparilla , Hood's Pills andthe other preparations of the firmand , is regarded - garded as most difficult to manufacture - ture , its novel shape being such as no other concern has ever undertaken to \ produce in large quantities. It was ( 'I 'r ' ' necessary to purchase several addi- tional mai'hines especially for this job , & I Ii so that there wasa very large amount r of machinery and a whole regiment of , ponle employed in this branch of the ' 1 extensive business a the big ( laboratory in Low.L During ! t the five months when the calendars - dars were being made there were actually employed every day in ! tliispart of the work at the laboratory I [ Li six printing presses , one bronzing ma- chine , four eye letting machines , seven wire stitchers , eight I ! i large paper cutters and 132 persons. II I At the beginning of the work this L I large force was able to produce about { I 100,000 calendars a day and for several I ii weeks toward the close the daily . fl production amounted to 140,000 calen- : . . dars. The edition of Hood's calendars I. ¶ for 1895 was lO,3OJOOO , or about 2,500- I 000 more than last year. I This , of course , is an immense num- her , but the general readerhas only a , 1 faint conception of its magnitude until he is reminded that the little 500,000 I t t ' ad1ed to the ten millions is considered I an enormous edition by many of the . largest advetisers in the world. If t the calendars were laid down in a 1 single line , they would reach almost 'I one thousand miles , and if the differ- : cut pieces in the calendar pads were I . ti laid in this way they Vould extend ' almost three thousand miles , or from t ( l I i New York to Liverpool.

I am fully aware of the manifold and arduous duties attaching to the officoto which I have just been inducted. Were I called upon to encounter at one time all the perpoxing difficulties to be met , well might I be ap- pahled 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 be my disinterested and unselfish pu rpoe to direct my entire efforts to the faithful and impartial observance of the constitutional provision which declares Sthat tim 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 ho 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 zerplexing question - tion , and , with a firm determination to ascertain - certain the right and then adhere to lt I hope the burdens may be lessened , the work impiflcd ] and the duties fully discharged. . Although possessing various political be- hofs we as legislators and executive should have but one great object in view-to discharge - 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 represent - sent all the people of your district. In my capacity I shall earnestly endeavor to be the governor of all the people. As the representatives - 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 districts - tricts you will doubtless have many matters of great importance to considor. The pronounced majority of one political party in both branches of the legislature will doubtless insure the election of a repro- seutativo 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 solicit - licit your counsel and hearty co-operation. I apprehend that our relations will be mutually - ally cordial and areeablo and redound to the good of the entire people , whom we alike servo. Possessing no knowledge of the condition of the various departments of the state gov- ernmentothorthan thatenjoyed in common byali our citizens , it is notmyfutention , 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 valuable information and advice to aid you in the discharge of your duties. Its coni- prehensiveness and completeness In detail commend it to you as legislators and to me as his successor for our careful considora- tion. Untrammeled 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 connected - ed with the affairs of state. A failure to give to each elector the privBege of casting his ballot without fear or prejudice , according - 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 cx- pressing by his vote his individual sentiments agreeable to his own conception of duty as a citizen - zen , without regard to his station in life , his education , his occupation or the degree of intelligence with which ho has been endowed by his Creator. It is your duty to sacredly guard this right to your fellow electors and to reduce to the absolute mm- imum any infringement of it. Especially does it seem to me that the employes of the larger corporations should , by wise legisla- thou , 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 undenied 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 privilege - lege without mischief if the law should be amended by you so that the elector can des- ignatewhero it is possible , his choice of candidates - didates and at the same time express by his ballot his political convictions. I would respectfully suggest that each po- ] itical party having a fair percentage of the vote in any district should have representation - tion on the electionboard , and thatnot more than two judges should be selected from any one political party. There can be no more important subject foi 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 lind invite a comparison with those of other states , to the end that amendments may be made rendering bribery and undue influence of the voter more nearly impossible and facilitating the more rapid i.nd accurate counting of votes. Iroutli Snfl'ereri. 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 blosed Nebraska. Her climate is unexcohled and her soil responds generously to the labor of the husbandman. For years prior to 1690 there was an uninterrupted era of good crops. Rapidly the domain of the rancher was encroached upon by the farmer. From various states came an energetic class of good citizens to make their homes in west- erri 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 raiiis failed to fall and hot winds swept over the country , carrying devastation to the fields of growing grain. Since thou there have been alternating - ing good and poor crops , culminating in the general drouth of 1891. While this drouth extended practically over the entire country , it was uarticularly disastrous in the western portion of the state. Distressed by combats with previous partial crop failures , ninny farmers with only moderate means were wholly unprepared - pared to meet th drouth. Many had beeti unable , on account of the short time of their residence , to store up grain sufficient to meet the exigencies of this 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 189i 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 stet ? , so that all her people may be comfortable during the pros- cut 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 loft to individuals who are charitably in- dined , but every government is in duty bound to provide at public expense the necessities to sustain life to its own needy inhabitants - habitants and especially is this the case when the needy are without fault on their part. The Reilef Cemmisalon. The relief commission created by the law of 1890 is still in existence. It was revived and the vacancies filled by my predecessor , Governor Crounse , and has been actively engaged in the work of assisting the doserv- jug notdy by distributing food and clothing furnished by charitably inclined people from every section of the country. Tbie iprpmiIoners bave guitfr. . ponded co 1derable mney In the work , relying - lying on the Toghilature to make provision - vision to Indemnify them for necessary - sary expenses incurred , and their services will be required until seed is .owzi In the spring for another crop. In order to effectively carry on the work of assisting tim deserving drouth sufferers with the least possible expense , I would respectfully suggest - gest that the laws of 1890 be remodelled and that relief appropriations sufficient to supply - ply the necessities of these people during the winter be placed in charge of the coinniis- sioners for distribution , under such safeguards - guards as may be deemed wise in order that only the needy receive aid and that no unnecessary - necessary expenses ho incurred. I feel confident that the great railways of the state will assist the distribution with free transportationor , at least , with greatly reduced rates. I would further suggest that legislation be had so that each county in the more severely afflicted portions of the state may ho able to vote bonds , which may be made a very proper mode of investment for a large sumof the now idle permanent school fund , in order to provide ready means to secure seed to sow and gram 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 repay - pay in installments the value of the grain furnished , together with interest corn- monsurato 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 had no control and they ask tern- porary assistance merely to tide over the present difficulty and will gladly make repayment - payment for all the seed am ! graih thus fur- nished. This subject I regard as one of pressing Importance , demanding your first energies in your work as legislators , in or4er that suitable enactinonts may be made as speedily - ily as possible and at the same time with due consideratioii of the work to be doneso , that the result of your labors shall meet the exigencies of thu occasion and also receive that degree of deliberation and care which should characterize all legislation. I trust , gentlemen , that you will at ozice direct your attention to this subject and make such disposition - 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 beoti gradually growing in favor with the people , e3peciaily west of the one hundreth principal meridian. Its merits have been investigated and proven by actual tests and it is now an accepted - cepted fact that very large areas in the western portion of the state , where the small amount of rainfall renders the maturity - rity of crops precarious , can , by a proper system of irrigation and because of the cx- cellence of the soil and the otherwise favorable - ble climatic conditions , bo made to yield most bountifully and with unvarying cur- tainty. The subject is a live one. Too much care cannot bo 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 summer - mer they have joined with the waters of the Mississiupi and Ohio and manyseasons 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 construction - struction and maintenance of great levees to protect the property and lives of the people - plo residing along the rivers in the south. % 'Jould 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- lug 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 Nebraska - braska and similar states produce an inexhaustible - haustiblo 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- hors and make them the kings of corn and cotton countries. I am not familiar with the practical workings - ings of irrigation , but your body contains seine members who have given considerable time to the investigation of the subject and a few who have had years of practical cx- penance in irrigation. They will doubtles3 render valuable service in advising and framing practical legislation. From the investigation - vestigation I have been able to give to thui 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 protect - tect the rights of those directly interested in irrigation will substantially encourage the work , and tirouths 811(1 consequent suffering will no longer menace the welfare of the people. Railroad Logilatlon. 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 tinio establishing a reasonable maxununi rate of charges for the transportation of passengers and freight. It also declares that the legislature shall enact laws to correct - rect abuses and prevent unjust discriinina- tion and extortion in charges ly 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 Utmost - most importance to all citizens of Nebraska that this great interest be snstaintd and en- couraged. To the construction of the present extensive system of railways in Nebraska may be ascribed in a great measure the ma- tonal prosperity of tlio state. It is an erroneously conceived idea , and quite prevalent , that the interests of the railways - ways and time people of the stateare 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 able to do , amid the people in turn must look to the railways for the transportatien both of their surplus coni- modities to market and of the articles of con- sumptien they must obtain from others. Between the two there should naturally cx- ist the utmost degree of reciprocity. Notwithstanding the feeling known to ox- hat among the people that they have been burdened by oppressive rates on transporta- tioii , i : am certain that there is no demand on their part for any unjust action that would tend to cripple the great highways of comnierce. The people are willing to deal justly by the railway corporations and in turn demand only fair treatmbnt in the matter - I tor t charges for freight and passenger transportation. The subject has been ono of constant fric- I tion and annoyance between the people and I the railroads for several years past. in van- ous ways and at different times attempts have been made at legislation for the pur- Dose of settling this question , but so far they have been without complete success. Recommends Railroad Commissioners T1i ' nrd of transportation as it now cists undef the law is entirely unsatisfactory - tory and is generally regarded as of little value to the people. Railroad commissioners elected by the pcoplowith power to regulate all charges of this character , would , in my judgment , nearest approach a proper solution - tion of this difficult problem. This , how- ever. cannot be done without amending the ' , - Ii titution. There has been one subinis- jtO. of the question to the peopleatd it - - ' - - - failed to receie the requisite vote , yet I am persuaded it was more the result of the ax- citemnent 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. i : am of the opinion that ifa constituitioni amendment creating a board of railroad commissioners , with ample power in the prenhises , could be subrnlttedto the people it would receive their approval by an overwhelming - whelming majority , and I believe this vexed question could be nearer settled satisfactorily - torily in that than in any other manner. The Maximnumn Rate 11111. Different attempts have hoen made to enact - act into law a maximum freight rate bill , culminating in the passage of the house roll No. 33 during the session of the preceding legislature. This bill was approved by the governor and but for the process of injunction - 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 the recent - cent decision handed down by Judge Brewer of the United States' circuit court. The question now naturally arising is whether the decision shall be accepted as final or provisions - visions be made for appealing the case and thereby obtaining final decision on this very important matter in a court of last resort. 'rho points in controversy are of vital interest - est to the people of Nebraska. It would doubtless be better if an early and fiuial decision - cision by the highest judicial tribunal of the land could be obtained , iii order that there might be a full , fair and accurate understanding - standing as to the respective rights of the people and the railroad companies touching the questions involved. I liavo no intimate knowledge of the history - tory of the case , of the issues raised therein or of the evidence adduced on the hearing of the cause. From reading the opinion of the learned judge deciding the case , I understand - stand that every disputed question is found in favor of the state save the one of the alleged - leged unreasonableness of maximum charges as fixed by the bill. With all due respect to the distinguished judge and thoroughly appreciating - preciating the dilliculties as expressed by him surrounding a question of this kind , I am inclined to the belief that time conclusion reached is hazed on an erroneous conception as to the proper basisforestirnating the costs and earnings of the roads. in the lirst place it occurs to nb that justice amid equity would indicate that the properbasisfor the purpose of fixing fair and just rates would be a present - ont rcsouable value of the roads rather than what may have been expended in their construction - struction by useless extravagance , had man- agernent or the increased expenditures at such time as compared with the present. Another element in this case which seems to be worthy of consideration amid which I fail to find any notice of in the decision of the honorable judge is that of the reasonableness - ableness of the expnditures 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 demands of the bondholders and stockholders. It would seem that if the stockholders come into court alleging that the rates fixed by the bill are too low , they should be required to make a full and complete show- iiig , not only as to the net earnings of the roads , but also the income front all sources and all expenditures and for what purpose male. .L'iee transportation , rebates , if any , and other like sources of expenditure or failure - uro to collect revenue rightfully belonging to the road are all elements to be considered - ered in order to arrive at a wise and just decision In a case of that kind. With the information you have already received and after consultation with those who have had charge of this case , if you. in your wisdom , deeni it expedient to acquiesce in the decision 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 railroads - roads and at the same tinie violate no constitutional - stitutional rights of either. Interest on State WnrrnntB. There Is now and has been for some time past a large floating indebtedness existing against the state , evidenced by registered warrants on the state treasury. These warrants - rants are of undoubted security , thereby making them much sought for as an investment - ment by those engaged in that business. Under the law they draw interest at the rate of 7 per cent , causing them to command in the market as soon as registered a premium of from 1 to 2 per cent. It occurs to me a great saving might be made to the tate and an injury done to no one if the interest on state warrants be reduced 1 to lx per cent. I am led to believe that state warrants drawing interest at the rate of 53 or 6 per centwill always be worth their face value as an investment. Necessity of Ecomiomy. It is needless for me to attempt to irnpres on you the necessity for the greatest possible - ble economy in the publiebusiness consistent with the proper administration of the affairs of statt. By economy is not meant such parsimony as will curtail the usefulness of state institutions or render less efficient any branch of the state business , but such watchful - ful care In the expenditures as will reduce to the minimum the burdens of the taxpayers - payers , which have been rendered especially oppressive by the present depressed condi- tiwis in all branches of busines3. ColloluMlon. The press of other business ha preventoc me from giving more attention to subjects you will probably have to consider during your session. Ii : occasion requires I shall corn- nunicato further by special message. I am desirous of extending to you as legislators - islators all means within my power which may in any way assist you in enacting wise and just legislation. And I trust whoii the work of this session Is done it may redound to the good of all die people of tIme entire state. I trust that your work during the mhiort time your labors will be required will fully demonstrate the wisdom of the people in selectimig you as their representatives in the legislative department. Relying 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.

" The angler , who in this case was a clever salmon fisherman , sat in a boat with a salmon rod in hand , and dropped his bait in the water. The hook was taken by an expert swimmer , who attached himself to the line by means of a belt. Then followed an exciting contest. The fisherman played his fish and had a difficult task to accomplish. The line was stout and the swimmer could not break it , although - though lie got foul of several obsta- des ; at length lie was brought close to the boat and was landed. This contest was said to have been perfectly genuine , as both fish and fisherman - erman did their best to win. ext summer try how such sport goes. It has time merit of novelty at all events.

Australia's Burning Moutitairm. One of time most remarkable sights in Australia is a burning mountain at Wingen , New South Wales , 204 miles from Sydney. It is 1,820 feet high and is supposed to be a large coal sea in which has in some unaccountable way become ignited , and has been burn imig for years. 'Chic course of time fire cami be traced a considerable distance by the numerous depressions or chasms caused by the falling iii of time ground from beneath - neath which tIme coal has been con- sumed. Smoke is continually issuing from the sides of the mountain , and iii the vicinity of these openings time stir- face is hot , and has a dry , parched up- pearanee , while sticks thrust into these openings arc ignited almost him- mediately. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ In a. recent article on coffee and cocoa - coa , time eminent German chemist.
