Delivered by ov. CVouimc to the Nc
bruha Los:i.lnt:ire.
The following is the text of Govern
or Crounse'a inaugural message to the
Nebraska legislature:
Fellow Citizens or Tin: Senate
and House ok Kli'KEskmativl: Tno
"will of the people, expressed in the
mode prescribed by the constitution,
has summoned me to assume the du
ties and responsibilities of iho chief
magistracy of Nebraska, and in your
presence I have taken upon myself the
solemn obligation of an oath to per
form thcii faithfully.
uat the demands of the office may
call upon me to do I cannot al this
time foretell; but wbiie mindful ihat
'he that pirdeth on his armor should
not boast himself as he that taicetn it
off, " I may say it shail be my constant
endeavor to promote the highest in
terest of the state and, as far as pos
sible, to justify the confidence of the
people, as expressed by my election.
The conditions which attend, your
assembly at this time are much better
than thoso which prevailed when the
, "" ""fc ,'luni m X wo J'eur8 aE
the meeting of the legislature followed
J a. Season of severe dromh. which
i brought distress to a portion of the
j iiaie, ana ior tne relief of wnicn pn
j vate anu iegislative aid irai invoiced.
it succceueu also tin election wherein
tno vote among tno several parties
was so close as to furnish the occasion
for a somewnat bitter contest over tne
count and over tae eligibility of one
I of tne candidates. Its settlement con
J sumed vaiuaole time and created a
feeling unfavorable to uispassionate
I legislation, besides giving tne state an
auvertisemeni it could better have done
witnout
! Your meeting today finds the state
enjoying a prosperity rarely equalled
i' in its history. Uusiness in general is
good. Tne labors of tno farmcl have
been rewarded with bounuiui har
! vests, for wnicn the prices received, in
the main, have been fairly satisfactory.
Even the once urouth-strictfen districts
have been especially faVoreu and from
tneir overflowing granaries they in
turn havo generously contributed to
alleviate the distress of other lands.
The result of me recent election was
so decisive and emphatic in the choice
i siaio ouicers as to invite no aisuute.
j Your respective bodies have been or
ganized with a fair degree of harmony
ana all the conditions attending the
opening of this session conspire to
favor gooa woric. Incidentally. I
may remark that I enould be better
pleased if tno legislature had been
organized in political harmony vith
the executive branch of the state gov
ernment, not for partisan favor, how
ever, but I think it more advisable to
havo a united rather than a divided
responsibility. One party, feeling the
full responsibility for its action, and
being creaited or conaemned in the
judgment of the people for what it
does or fails to do. acts under a re
straint calculated to insure better leg-
i isiation. As it is, however, tne oarty
tnat has secured the advantage of or
ganization should feel the responsi
bility which attaches to it.
Beyond the election of a senator
who shail represent the state in the
senate of the United States for the)
coming six years, there is little,
if anything, involving political dif
ference lilrely to arise It is to
those matters which immediately con
cern the welfare of the state that you
are expected to address yourselves and
it should be done in a Dromut busi-
I nesslme way and governed by that
I spirit of economy which has a prouer
j regard for the condition of the peop.o
j you represent.
ebrasirans in the main are a plain
people. Yltn most of them life is a
perpetual struggle. Hard woru. fru
gality and economy are their constant
companions. Tney indulge in little
extravagance themselves and they may
rcasonaoly expect their representatives
to govern themselves in Iiko manner.
The tendency of the day is towards
extravagance, and it nowhere mani-
I fests itseif more than in the conduct of
l public affairs. Extravagance begets
' extravagance. An unwarranted or too
I liberal appropriation of to-day forms
the precedent for tomorrow, and I
submit to you whether your predeces
sors have not already passed the high
J a - er mark. Such is my opinion, and.
in my judgment, the aggregate of ap
propriations made by the last legisla
ture snould be cut down f uiiy $7o0, 000,
notwitnstanding the growth of the
state in tne meantime. To this amount
your own bodies might contrioute some
$50,000 by giving no piace on your
i pay roil to unnecessary employes, and
by the exerciso of tnat economy which
would naturally govern your own
affairs rather than those of the state
Such an exhibition on your part would
, furnish a wholesome ODJect lesson to
to those who expend money you .id-
propnate. and would be appreciated
by tnose who, through the lax gather-
' er, supply tne money appropriated.
( Tne state has generously provided
itself with cnaritable and educational
institutions. Tneso should neitner be
multiplied nor enlarged unless the de
mand for the same De clearly shown.
All estimates for their maintenance
should be rigidly scrutinized and cut
down to the minimum. A close ap
propriation enjoins the practice of
economy. A too liberai one invites
' extravagance and permits fraud
and dishonesty. Kecent developments
have raised the question whether
irregularities and fraud have not
already found their way into the con
duct of affairs of some of the institu
tions. A nether further investigation
shall estabiisn their existence or not
the fact that the charge is made should
serve as an additional warning that a
too rigid scrutiny cannot be exercised
over the management of tnese institu
tions. Through its committees and by the
aid of experts, if necessary, the legis
lature shouid thoroughly examine into
their management and if wrongs aro
found, let the guilty be exposed and
, brought to justice. Corrupt men may
be found in any party, but the party
may not be responsiblef for them unies?
it undertakes to shield them.

'Resolved, That in order to obtain

be authorized to discharge employes

tecs on rules made a partial report as
follows: That the rules governing the !
twenty-second session be changed ,
in regard to admitting pconle upon tno 1
floor of the house. Second All ques- ,
tions may be reconsidered by fifty-one
votes instead of by two-thirds of the '
members. Third No bill or concur
i ent resolutions once rejected shail be
again printed except by a two-thirds
vote. Upon the question of adoption '
McKesson objected to the rule govern-
ing the admission of visitors to tho
floor for tho reason that it was a very
common thing for constituents to wish
to consult with their representatives
in regard to certain legislation in
wnich they were interested. Messrs.
Casper and Porter defended the rule
whilo Mr. Lowe opposed it. He said
it was the ruio in everv legislative
bodv that ex-mem oers were entitled to
seats. Without taking a vote upon
the adoption of the rules tho speaker
apnointed five janitors and two "watch-
men for legislature hail. The house
then adjourned until Tuesday.

taken up and discussed at length.
Stewart of Sioux, who fathered the

that it did not cOnfliet with th9 tire-
rbgativ'es bf the secretary of State.
Neither did it clash with the resolu
tion adoptqd yesterday directing thb
secr'etkry bf 3tate to furnish supplies

the senate. Tho resolution, after dis
cussion, was defeated. The next
! thing taken up was the report from
the committee appointed to report
rules for the joint session of the two
houses. The question recurred on tho
motion to adopt the following amend-
I ment: Whenever there shall be a
joint convention of the two houses the
proceedings at length shall be entered
upon the journals of both houses. The
speaker shall preside and the chief
r clerk of the house shall keeD the re
cords, assisted by the secretary of

sol ed, That the joint rules of the ses
ion of 1891 bo the joint rules of this

Consider matters of the Nebraska Co
lumbian commission with reference to

the world's fair committee. Sonators
Lobeck, Babcock and McCarty

also adopted: That the secretary of
state is hereby directed to make out
an estimate and list of supplies not
already contracted for, and which will
be necessary for the use ot the senate
during this session, definitely specify
ing the quality required, and to adver
tise for bids for the furnishing of the

to let contract to lowest responsible
bidder. The senate then adjourned.
IlorsE. The house on the 12tb,
immediately after assembling, ad
journed until 2 p. m. At the afternoon
session Horst introduced the following
memorial:
To tho Honorable, the Senate and
House ot Representatives of the
United States of America:
Whereas, The election of United
States senator seriously interferes
with the progress of legislation and
has a tendency to antagonize its mem
bers oy dividing them on party lines;
and whereas, a large majority of
the people demand it, therefore
your memorialists, the houso of
representatives of the state of Ne
braska, respectfully petition your hon
orable booy to submit an amendment
to the constitution of the United States
providing for the election of United
States senators by a direct vote of tho
people. The memorial was ruled out
of ordr as it was regular business and
as such could not be considered until
after the canvass of tho returns. A
preamble and resolutions on the death
of Gen. Butler were voted out of order
on tho same grounds as tho memorial,
but an amendment by Howe, provid
ing for adjournment until 10 o'clock
tomorrow out of respect to the mem
ory of Gen. Butler was adopted and
the house thereupon adjourned.
SENATOR BABCOCK CENbUUED.

ing'of the Jaksonian club was held

cratic senators in joining tho republi
can members in the election of a
president pro tem of the senate. The
meeting was called to order by J. B.
Shehan. the president of the club, who
announced tne object of the gathering.
R. T. Montague moved thatacommittee
of three be appointed to draw up prop
er resolutions, but a majority of tne
members wanted to do a little talking
first and the resolution was deferred.
After considerable discussion, partici
pated in by members of the club, the
motion to appoint a committee on res
olutions of censure was adopted. The
chair appointed the following mem
bers of the committee: C. J. Smyth, J.
D. Murphy. R. V. Montague, S. R.
Rush and W. F. Wappich.
The committee retired and after a
short consultation the following reso
lutions were submitted:

republicans in the state senate are
about to combine upon certain matters;
and,
Whereas. Wo deem such a combina
tion improper and unjust to the dem
ocratic party of tho state of Nebraska;
and.
Whereas, We have learned with de
light of the notion of tho democratic
members of the house of representa
tives in uniting with the members of
the people's independent party; there
fore, be it
Resolved, That the Jacksonian club,
composed of representative democrats

las county and Omaha, record its cor
dial and hearty approval of the course
of the democratic members of tho
house of representatives of Nebraska,

the people's independent party, in
effecting the organization of that body.
Especially do we commend tho action

state legislature, owes'to himself, his
constituents and his party associates .

means the welfare of tne democratic
party, to the end that its time-honored
principles may be enforced in behalf
of the people.
Resolved, Tnat we view with alarm
the action of the democratic members
of the senate in uniting with the re
publicans to elect a republican presi
dent pro tem.
Resolved. That any democratic
member in the senate or house, who
by his act. directiv or indirectly, aids
the election of a republican United
States senator, should be branded a
traitor to h:a party and its 'principles.
Resolved, Tnat 'any combination of
the democrats with the republicans,
either In the senate or house, looking
toward the defeat of just legislation)
touching the well-known demands ot
tHe people l entirely unnatural and ft
violation of the pledges Ot the demd
cratic party.
Resolved, That in our opinion it is
the duty of the democrats of the stato

upon their reresentatives the necessity
of standing true to their party princi

fed .without further discussion.

OUR ST. LOUIS LBTTRR.
The Growth of m Tear Tho New Wate
Iforks Conduit Completed A
Musleal Success.
St. Lotris; Ma, Jan. 5, 1S93. Be
tween1 feafS tff censuytakinfr, one who
wants aede'raie mforrrtatlon about the
population of a cKy" can get it much
better from the reports d the water
tax collectors than from thd toting
lists. People cannot dodge the psy
ment of a water tax as they can the
taxes on real and personal property.
If the water tax Is not paid the water
is shut of! promptly. Water is used
In every nou5? and the receipts in
crease iri a Steady ratio with the
population. The water collections of
St. Louis went over those of the year
preceding in io9$ by more than a
quarter of a million d'oilir; nnd this
is interpreted by the statisticians to
mean that the nity has gained in the
last year about d hundred thousand
people, who live in dwellings and pay
their taxes. These figures, tod,- are
borne out by the reports for last j-caf
from other departments whose work
increases with the population. Tho
building of new houses last year pat
twenty-three million dollars in the
pockets of mechanics, and demanded
the lighting of many more miles of
streets by electricity. On the last day
of the year the city paid bills for the
lighting of 443 miles of streets and
alleys.
Water Commissioner Holman mada
the city a New Year's gift by complet
ing the milliori dollar conduit which
is to conduct the water from the river
to the pumping engines of the tew
water-works. This conduit was the
most difficult and important part of
the whole system. It was begun two
yearn ago, and work on it has been
going od, night and day, ever since. It
will easily carry the one hundred and
fifty million gallons of water a day
which the new engines are to pump.
The building of the conduit was the
engineering feat of the work, and its
completion relieves the Commissioner
of all anxiety. By next fall, when tho
sight-s.ers begin to arrive for the fes
tivities here, a drive over the Broad
way Boul evard to the Chain of Rocks,
where the new works are, will be a
part of every tourist's plan.
Nobody can tell whether or not tho
stories are true about the attempt of
an eastern syndicate to buy all the
street railways in St. Louis, but the
dealers In the bonds of the roads, who
know their financial condition, say
that the company that gets the lines
will have to pay at least fifty million
dollars to acquire the control. The
four systems of street railways in this
city cover 600 miles of streets, and
most of the lines are run by electricity;
moreover, everyone of them is paying
good dividends. The rapidity and
cheapness of the service is not equalled
by the roads of any city in the coun
try, and the people feel no grievance
that might interest them in clamoring
for a change. So, the consolidating
movement is looked on generally with
indifference. So far as anyone can see
now, the patrons of the roads would
be largely the gainers by the change,
as there would be established, almost
necessarily, a thorough system of
transfer tickets all over the city, by
which a passenger might ride twenty
or thirty miles for a nickel.
