From the Hon. James Ross, Grand Lecturer OF O. G.
I. of Wisconsin.
From a feeling of gratitude, take
great pleasure in giving testimony to the eff
cacy Of Hales Cough Cordial in easily curing
a persistent cough. For a month while en-
gagged rightly in public speaking, had suffer-
ed with an annoying coug Oh which stubbornly
resisted the various cough remedies that Ihad
,nnately gave Hale's Cough Cordial l' trial,
when my coughing ceased at once, aud the
following day it had done it's work complete
and felt all right The first dose went d.
rectly so the cold spot in my lungs, and in
the midst of a general warmth and perspira-
ton the stubborn cough seemed to dissolve.
In gratitude and esteem, l am
Yours truly, JAMES Ross.

TAX JUDGEMENT SALES.

respectfully reviews suggestion offered in
my last messag sc for such an amendment OF
the present tax law as will irequire the annual
tax judgement sale for delinquent taxes, to be
out the State, and that timely and conspieu-
GUS notice be required to be published Of any
approaching termination of the period allowed
for redemption from such tax sale. This is
due to a large class Of property holders who,
rom non residence, sickness or other cause
beyond their control fail to realize the risk
they incur of the forfeiture Of their property.

forfeiture of the excess facilitated, the effect
would probably be to defeat the lending of
money altogether to the distressed borrowers,
and drive the lenders to other localities,

DIsHoyoRED BoyDs
In my first message communicated to your
honorable body one year ago took occasion
to urge the performance Of long neglected
duty on the part Of the State in respect to the
adjustment Of our dishonored railroad bonds.
Time, reflection and further knowledge Of
the evil OF practical reputation, have served
to deepen my conviction OF the solemn obi
CATION resting upon us In this mater: and
feel it to be my duty to reiterate the recon-
Emendation then made and to emphasize the
reasons given for the prompt performance Of
Indeed regard Il as the first duty Of an Ex.
ecutive to guard with jealous care the good
name of the commonwealth whose sacred in
terests are committed to his charge; and l an
therefore suffer no suitable occasion to pass
without renewing an earnest injunction for
the performance OF duty the neglect oil
which constantly prejudices our standing
among the reputable States Of the Union.
The reiterated verdict upon this subject
conveying in its conclusions both the highest
adiudicatiOns and the deepest moral and re-
ligious convictions, seems TO me to BE- so con-
elusive as to leave little or no room for an
dispel any possible doubt respecting the legal
aspect OF the question present q summary OF
the legal recognition Of the validity of the
bonds, by implication, precedent and express
decisions OF the highest judicial tribunals.
However it may have been with individual
and party action respecting recognition Of
this Indebtedness, 1T may be safely affirmed
that the State herself, actin in her strictly
sovereign capacity and through her legally
constituted authorities, has at least, by strong
implication, uniformly affirmed the VALIDITY
OF these bonds without deduction for fancifnl
or imaginary equities. Her action in o.
structing the actual liquidation of the bonds
IS itself confession OF their validity, since il
they We're invalid, that fact alone would be
conclusive against their payment. She again
affirmed the validity when, instead Of relying
upon the forfeiture clause Of the constitution
al amendment for remedy, she elected to fore

BIENNIAL SESSIONS.
l recommended to the last legislative ses-
sion the submission to the people OF a propo-
sal for constitutional amendment providing
tor biennial sessions of the legislature. : In.
formation of the practical workings OF such
alternate assemblages in other States, as well
as further reflection upon the subject, have
50 tar confirmed my conviction Of the wisdom
OF such change that feel impelled to renew
the recommendation. The plan seems to me
to possess every advantage in Joint of econ
omy and in the avoidance of hurtful tamper-
ing with laws before they have been long
enough in operation to test their character.
Biennial sessions are held in about fifteen
States OF the Union. The fact that sew
eral of these States are younger than
Minnesota, impairs the practical force
on the ground Of the constructive and expert
mental necessities Of new States. l again
commend the subject to your candid consid-

JURY POWERS.
briefly adverted in my former message. to
the unsatisfactory operation of the existing
law relative to the power OF juries in the pun
ishment OF capital crimes, The Objectionable
features Of the law were fully and ,forcibly
messages. The evils of the law thus repeat
eddy set forth, were empnatically illustraed
by a recent event, with the particulars Of
which You are all familiar. The audacious
attempt at bank robbery at Mortified, result
ing tn TIE death of two citizens and the
wOunding ola third, under circumstances OF
peculiar atr0city, failed to receive the ruuishs
ment which both the legal and the popular
verdict w.uld have demanded, owing to the
peculiar detects Of this law. BY the simple
plea OF guilty, the perpetrators OF double
crime, richly deserving death, escape that
penalty by preventing the case from reaching
the jury, who alone, can intiict it. No cogen-
~ Of reasoning founded upon theory Of law.
can prove so f0rcible as such an experience
Of its practice; and cannot believe You will
longer hesitate to act in the matter SO plainly
requiring your intervention. Aside from the
question as to the rightfulness Of the death
penalty, . law which is so liable to abuse,
and which adds to the ordinary uncertainties
OF the administration of. justice demands
prompt abolition or amendment. It offers 4
constant temptation to the worst criminals to
cheat justice OF its due, by making choice Of
their punishment upon their own plea: and
Unless the evil be corrected, We may REASONS
bly, expect in future, an increased resort by
culprits, to the easy expedient Of avoiding ali
risk Of death by choosing the certainty Of an
