GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

We lay before our readers to-day
the Governors Message, which was
delivered in Des Moines. yesterday
afternoon.
1t is a plain, straightforward docu.
ment. and makes an excellent show.
ing for the State. There are many
excellent suggestions for improve
ment in the laws. Among them. We
note those suggested by the State
Auditor and approved by the Govern
or. One of which we especially
commend, as it effects us here. and
that is giving power to the State
Board of Equalization to equalizt
property as between a city and thu
balance of the county in which it il
situated, in addition to the power tt
equalize between counties. The Gov
ernor takes strong grounds for III,
settlers OH Dcs Moines river lands
the title of which has became defec
tive, and wherein The settlers are no
ut fault. The existence of this wrons
so many years, and the failure to OBJ
tain redress from tho general govern
ment, has long been burning shame
and the Governors emphatic Ian
guage characterizing this wrong il
none too strong. The Governor takeI
broad. comprehensive and unbiased
views upon the question of regulating
railroad tariffs. We have not space
to comment at length upon the mes
sage. II speaks for itself, and every
citizen of the State should give it /.
careful perusal.

ID by The Davenport Gazette.

The Chicago Times wants to know
what Republicans are bowling about
since the Democracy in the Lower
House is about TO report an appropri.
aiion of S30,OO0,OO0 to pay pensions,
is ii to be considered virtue in De.
mocracy TO appropriate money to pay
manned and crippled soldiers and The
widows OF deceased soldiers? Because
that they do not choose TO not make
an appropriation for such purpose,
have we no cause of complaint for
other wrong deeds of theirs? Is it a
boon the Democracy comforting up
on soldiers drawing pensions, by vot.
ing to pay lawful pension claims
The fact is, The Democracy dare moi
refuse TO make such an appropriation
and the fact that they Ito vote an APP
preparation is no evidence of theil
love for the soldier. but il is mucl
more the progeny OF their fears thar
their LOYALTY. at least, of very many o
them.

This aggregate, it will be observed
far exceeds twice the amount of sur.
plus estimated by the Auditor of State
TO be available for these objects
Doubtless additional appropriations
for purposes not enumerated above
will be deemed advisable by the Gen.
eral Assembly. Great care will there.
fore be required TO keep the appro.
priations within the estimated receipts
OF the treasury, or else to provide ad.
ditional means Whcrewith to meet
them. Here / would suggest that II
would be well to authorize larger
levy for the year Of the Legislative
session. The expenses Of the session
with the numerous miscellaneous ap.
preparations made Mt each, naturally
naturally cause the outlay ofthat veal
to exceed very largely that of the re-
mainder Of the fiscal term. The first
year Of the biennial period, immedi.
atcly preceding the one now under
review, witnessed an expenditure OF
$23S, 7O9.43 in excess Of that of the
other year, Notwithstanding that du.
ring the latter the General Assembly
held an adjourned session, and the
code adopted at that session. was print
ed, necessarily entailing unusual out
lay. During the term just ended, the
excess the first year was $l53,7O5. 40
much less than in the preceding pc.
riod, but still too large. This reduc-
ton was mainly due to the fact that
in several special appropriation bills
the General Assembly limited the
amount which could be drawn the
first year; and l would recommend
that the principle be still further ap-
piled by permitting only one-third OF
the special appropriations for public
improvements to be drawn within the
present calendar year. This would
enable the treasury better to meet the
demands upon it fhc first year, and
allow time for the realization Of such
additional means as the General AS
sembly may provide.
The STATE LIBRARy.-The Librari-
an submits report which will fur
nish yon all the data necessary TO n
full knowledge Of its condition. She
has prepared in connection with her
report an interesting and valuable
history Of its establishment ana
growth. / invite attention to this re-
port, and also TO the single suggestion
relating to legislation made therein.
which fully approve.
TIE STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
FOR many years the agricultural
society has laborcd to promote the
Interests of the State. II has illus
trated the resources ofIowa, has stim-
illatcd q wholesome emulation among
the people, and has through its fairs
and published. proceedings aided to
improve the methods Offarming. In
view Of these facts, il seems to me 1t

by the devices known to professional
gamblers. In one state this crime
has been made felony, and punish
ell as such. In another, railroad Off
Gals have been clothed with summary
powers for the suppression of this
evil. Through our state passes the
great tide of California travel, and It
bchOOves our law-makers to see thai
the fair fame of our state suffers no
detriment because of this modern
variety of highway robbery.
CrIne.-The consideration of n
large number of applications for par
don during the past four wears. in
which time have had the pleasure of
opening prison-doors for the release
OF men Of whose innocence / had be-
come entirely convinced, confirms me
In the belief that every accused per-
SON who desires it should be permit
ted to testify under oath in his own
Dehaif. l am aware of the objection
with which this suggestion will be
met, viz: that failure to testify will
be construed unfayorably for the ac-
cused. Whatever force there may be
in this objection is, am satisfied,
more than met by the consideration
that to deny man who is willing to
subject himself to examination and
cross-examination under oath the
right to do so in fact establishes to
some extent presumption of guilt
against him. | earnestly commend
this subject to the consideration Of the
General Assembly.
While upon this subject, / recon-
mend the repeal of the provision in
PRODUCED into the code, allowing
changes of venue i'm preliminary ex-
aminations. Its presence in the stat
utcs, am convinced, increases ey-
pcnsc, intcr(ercs with justice, and So
cures no substantial rights.
The Jury Systcm.-Entertaining as
l do the prOfoundest generation for
this legacy of our ancestors, 1 vet do
not think 1t beyond the reach of i'm
provcment, The requirement OF
unanimity in jury in order to YER
dict | cannot but look upon as an an
tique absnrlity, which has too long
fettercd the administration of justice.
l therefore recommend that steps be
taken to do away with the require
ment, and thus to conform our Jury
system more nearly to modern ideas.
and practical common sense.
The Public HealM.-The imports
ance ofthc subject Of public health
has impressed itself so UPON the pub
lie mind throughout the country thai
in several Of our sister common
wealths state boards have been estab-
lished having cognizancc thereof with
moro or less powers. l submit 10 the
General Assembly the propriety of
adopting this or some other measure
0f q comprehensive character for the
safety Of the public health, believing
20 subject to be more deserving the
