GOVERNORS MESSAGE.


6g1ltieaasn or ne Senate and Assembly:
The people of the state of Wisconsin, having called
rae TO tue service their chief executive, appear
before You in accordance with custom that has
prevailed since the formation OF our state Govern
ment.
The constitution imposes upon the Governor the
iuty II communicating to the Legislature the con-
dlt.un Of the state, and recommending such egsia-
ton as 30 him may cxpedcnt and called for by
the public welfare.
In proceeding to discharge that duty, am deeply
impressed with the responsibilities OF my position
With gratitude the most profound and sincere to-
wards the people Of the state for the confidence
posed in me- and determination to devote my best
efforts 10 their service approach the duties that
belong 10 me with feelings Of distruHt ana eTnbarraS

the same good opinions 90 with me.
While peslience and famine have desoated 9th
or nstiona the year ju-t ended has been one of
general health in our state and marked with a de-
gree Of prosperity equal to any that has preceded
Ii and saving only one great calamity that has
belsllen one section of IL, the people have great
cause OF thankfulness to the Author Of every good
and perfect gift.
The abundant returns OF agriculture have not
only been equal to all the wants of our people,
but have furnished large surplus with which TO
supply others and less favored peoples
Our manufacturing Industries have steadily in
creased, and our commerce has suffered no ahate-
meut, While many portions OF the state, heretofore
quite inaccessible, have been opened Up by rail-
road, 10 easy access and Development,
The laws have been faithfully executed, and the
rights OF all p e-eryed aud maintained.
The cause Of education has been constantly
progressive, and our noble institutions of public
charity have brought relief and ministered TO the
eomfOr> al many who in the inscrUtable proy-
deuce of God, have been deprived of their reason,
or the faculties OF hearing andsight,
But without further retrospect, ! proceed to a
mere detailed exposition OF the condition of the
state.
From the reports Of the Secretary OF Stale and
site Treasurer, it appears that the balance In the
Treasury belonging to the various funds, at the
close Of the last fiscal year, was 1928, 1882.
The receipts aud disbursements of the general

UNCLEAN TH1NGs.-When q fool,
whose ignorance amounts to crimi-
:..nality, can advance no argument in
favor of himself, or in his defence.
The generally resorts to blackguard-
ism. It is in such character that
the idiot who scribbles for The Dunn
Leader, appears. A moral coward,
q living idiot, and blackguard Of
huge proportions, is he. So that in

our reasons for treating this insane
clown with the contempt he deserves,
we dismiss the subject, wishing to
have no more controversies with

Dunn LEADER, an article entitled "In.
formation Wanted" stating that L
as Treasurer of the Public School
Fund, had received the sum of Sew
enteen Thousand Dollars, and could
only account for Ten Thousand Dol
lars. The author Of the said article
l pronounce to be an infamous lar,
and his assertions only made to in
jure me politically. My books, as
we'll as my public actions, are always
open to inspection, and any gentle
man can satisfy himself, or the Pub
lie, by calling upon me at any time.

thought was working in their. inter-
est. The Democrats had never in
tended to vote for Greeley. They put
him up as great beacon light SO
that republicans would not see the
Democratic host behind it. But in
this they had failed.
He concluded by saying that near
" all of the Republicans, who early
in the campaign, has advocated Mr.:
!! Greeley, were returning to the Re-
publican party. He mentioned among
others the Messrs. Bently, of the At,
takapas Register, and Donaldsonville
CAief.
At the conclusion of Lieut.. Gov.
Pinchback's speech, cheers upon
cheers were given for him. A. P.
Fields, then spoke about an hour,
but his speech was not listened to.
e. L. Weber then offered set of
Resolutions endorsing Grant'.& Will

self, which were declared adopted by
a vote Of two yeas, to three nays

it would lead to prescription. This
was an erroneous impression. He
pointed to the conduct of the Irish
OF New York, who at every election
cast their votes solidly for the Dem
ocrats. They did it because they
think Democracy means liberal
government where all will be respect
ed. But the Republican Party is
really the Democratic party of the
country, as its cardinal principles
show. Some white people think that
the colored man wants to force him
self on the society of white men
Had more of that than they wanted ;;
it was all they could do to keep white
men away from their women. All
colored men asked for was equal and
exact justice-rights to travel as 9TH

in such places that were public for
other men. Colored people were not
hostile to the whites. Why not say !
that the Irish who form a class apart,
are hostile to white people. With JUS

What the Lightning Did to a
- r.. Calf. ..ai ..

One of the barns of Henry S. Wells
at Wells Hollow, Huntington, Mass,
was struck, and with its contents en-
tirely consumed. The barn contained
about twenty tons of his best hay and
some farming utensils. Under his COW
house adjoining were seven cows and a
horse, which were saved uninjured.
There came well nigh being roast pig,
but by extra exertion on the part of Mr..
Wells the hogs were saved. In the sta
BILE directly under where the lightning
struck was calf. In some way the calf
got out before Mr.. Wells got there, but
Wednesday morning it presented a Gu
rious appearance. The end of its nose
is skinned, and several small pieces of
skin are off around its face and head,
and it is considerably swollen around
the eyes. The neck and shoulders are
not touched, but from near the latter
along its back to the tail there are large
number of small blisters, and in several
places the skin is off. Yet, notwith-
standing its injuries, the young animal
is about as lively as ever, and bids fair
to recover,

Be Happy Now.

How old are you? Twenty-Five ?
Thirty? Are you happy to-lays Were
you happys If so, you have reason to
judge that you will be happy by and by.
Are you so busy that you have no time
to be happy, and are you going to be
happy when you are old, and you have
not much to do to-day? No; you will
not. You now have specimen of what
you will be when you are old. Look in
the face of to-day. That is about the
average. They will tell what they are
going to be; what you are carrying
along with you is what you will have by
and by. Ifyou are so conducting your
self that you have peace with God and
your fellowmen, and with your facul-
ties; if every day you insist that duty
shall make you happy, and you take as
much time as is needful for the culture
of your social faculties, you will not be
life, and it will be continu-
ally replenished. But if you are saving
up till you get to be an old man, habit
will stand like tyrant, and say, "You
would not enjoy yourself before, and
you shall not now." How many men
there are who have ground to make
that they might be happy by
and by, and who, when they have got
to be fifty or sixty years old have used
up all the enjoyable nerve that was in
them. During their early life they car
ried toll and economy and frugality to
the excess of stinginess and when the
time came that they expected joy, there
was no ioy for them.

A Runaway Locomotive.

The Frankfort, KY, Yeoman of the
10th instant says: On Thursday, as a
locomotive without any ears was COM
ing backward down the grade on the
Frankfort and Lexington railroad, the
cylinder heads were blown out at the
point where the Versailles pike crosses
the railroad, about four miles from town.
The steam all escaping, and there being
no brakes, the engineer lost all control
of his steed, and it came tearing down
the sixty-foot grade at break-neek
speed, some saying it went at the rate
of fifty miles per hour. 1t weathered
all the dangers safely, however, includ-
ing the sharp curve above town, and
the tunnel, and came laundering
through the streets as never locomo-
tive passed through the streets before.
Striking an ascending grade as it neared
the bridge, 1T slackened its pace and
came to stand-still just before it goes
across the river. Four or five. hands and
three or four boys were on board, and
were congratulated on their miraculous
escape by the large crowd which were
to the spot. Eddie Grant, a
venturous twelve.year old, was on the
and gives lively account
of it. He places the rate at three miles
per minute. 1t doubtless seemed that to
all of them.
