THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

The last message of the out
coming Governor was followed
almost Immediately by the in
augural address of his successor.
Mr.. Kinkead's farewell to the
people over whom he has pre-.
sided as an Executive is a
scholarly and able document
and squarely reviews the four
ears Of his administration, 1t
is quite voluminous and takes a
cheerful view of the future.
The address of Governor Adams
is very brief and fails to cover
good deal of ground that peo-
pie expect to be covered, yet do
not particularly feel aggrieved
if it is not mentioned. Two
important matters are touched
upon, the mines and the rail-
roads. Mr.. Adams states that
he will favar any legislation
tending to relieve the mining
industry of its burdens, which
means that modification of the
Bullisn Tax law will meet his
approval. Under ordinary cir
cumstances the taxpayers would
object to this proposition, but as
the majority imagine that inn
portant developments will be
made after the repeal of the
Bullion Tax law, no special OBJ
lection will be made by the
general mass of taxpayers.
On the subject of railroads he
is non-commlttal and evasive,
agreeing to sign any fair or just
bill, but as to his opinion regard
ing what is fair to the roads or
just to the people, we are left
wholly in the dark.
The idea Of changing the
boundaries of the State 50 as to
include the counties Of California
east of the Sierra Nevada range
is a sensible one and should be
acted on.
The proposition to compel the
Supreme Court to inform the
Executive as to the constltu-
tionality of bills within five days
after their passage is mixing
ND of the duties of Judges and
Legislators in a most perplex-
ing degree. The Governor Of a
State is not supposed to lean
upon the Supreme Court for
support, and it would be waste
of time to pass such a bill unless
to ascertain how quickly the
Supreme Court would squelch it.
The suggestions regarding a
state Board of Equalization meets
with general approval. The
allusion to the "unlimited i'm
portation of Monaghan herdes"
and accompanying rot, is only
hackneyed political buncombe
and its absence from the mes
sage would not have been
missed. Democratic agitation
on the subject comes rather

Germany Wants Her Citizens.

WASHINGTON, Jan 1.-THE Cabinet

clusiou) the demand of the German
government for military service from
it's subjects in the United States. The
German government has instructed all

liable to military duty, to report.
Among the persons notified are

the sons OF such Germans VINO
have not reached their majority, and
consequently cannot yet elect their na-
tionaIisy. These Germans do not know
what to do, and many have been writing
| to the State Department for luforma-
| ton. The Department has replied that
! it had heard nothing from our Minister
at Berlin in regard to any such demand
| for military service, but as sooE as it
| gets any information it would give the
Germans in this country the benefit OF
it.
The German government wishes to
abrogate Baucrofs's treaty, OF tie
ground that il is too favorable to
America, while many GermanAmeri-
cans demand its abrogation On the
ground that it is not favorable enough
to them. Half dozen Germans, who
have long resided in Anerlcs, have

further, and insists tnat Germans

60 home and render military service.
These persons, it is evident, cannot be

but if they should decliue this 'fficisI
invitation to return 70 the fatherland, it
would be iniudicious for them to return

THE MANAGEMENT. OF THE
HOME.

Many Of the newspapers of
the State are urging the cause
of the present incumbents of the
Orphans Home, claiming that
they possess special fitness for
the place. There are some tf-
teen applicants, all good Re-
publicans, who are now seeking
the same position, and the APP
PEAL believes that the Board
is competent to decide the mat
ter without the Interference of
newspapers which favor any
special candidates. AS far as
the present incumbents are
concerned, they are in danger OF
being too much assisted by
their friends, as some of the
same papers which, now urge
them for the place, little over
two years ago were denouncine
them as unfit to have the care
of children. The APPEAL said
all it cared to say upon the sub
ject at the time, and what the
other papers said on the same
subject can be found in the
April files of 1880 at the State
Library.

4 Horrible Confession.

AioUNT EERSoN, Jan. 5.-The ter
rible confession of Mrs. Emma Stillwell
that she murdered her first hush nd,
BENZ. Swigars; also an innocent
stranger and her fourteen months-old
child-is now supplemented by another
confession in which she admits having
killed her own mother, and tells how
her father met his death in tragic
manner. Waterford is a small hamlet
of 10 more than dozen houses, located
fourteen miles from here in the north.
west corner of Knox county, and seven
miles from the nearest telegraph station
Her last confession was revealed to DIR.
w. E. Edwards, a respectable physician
aud local preacher, who visited the
Ssillwell house professionally as med
ical or spiritual adviser. DR.. Edwards
spent day with Mrs. Stillwell in the
Jail, and gaining her confidence she
reiterated her tale OF crimes and pro-
fessed sincere peui.ence. Her spiritual
adviser iniormed her that there was DO
nope fo- forgiveness unless she fully
and freely confessed Ter sins, and asked
her il any other wicked oEense was
pressing upon her mind. The dis
tressed woman buried her face beneath
her clothes and seemed convulsed with
anguish. Looking up penitentiy, her
face assumed calm expression, and she
replied:
YES, there are two more dark
crimes. but nobody will ever know
them"
She finally yielded to his persuasive
powers and admitted that she murdered
her own mother and probably her
father. Her mother. Mrs. Susan Sny-
der, while on her way TO visit her
daughter at O5:umwa,' Iowa, was
injured in railroad accident. She was
taken to her dang hter's home. where
four months later she died, as vas sup
posed, from her Injuries. Mrs. Still
well now declares that her mother was
terribly dishsured and Kept upbraiding
her for their former crimes, and even
threatened to make confession before
hei death. Mrs. Ssillweli's repugnance
for the unsightly appearance Of the Old
woman, together with fears Of exposure,
led her to commit the murder; and one
night, while her husband was absent.
she strangled and sn,othered her mother
to death. Ia regard 10 ner fathers fate
she would give no detail. other than
that he met his death By having his
throat cut. BIZ. II what manner and by
whom she refused to tell. The local
chronicles OF Maryviile, Mo, say he
was supposed to have gone 20 California.
and was lost sight OF by his family, On'
it is now believed tina: he was murdered
by Mrs Snyder, who was then i Mrs.
Howard, in the manner indicated above
by Mrs. Siilwell. DR.. Ei~a-ds-who
is physician in good standing si'er
making careful examination as 20 Mrs.
StillwelIs mental condition, says that
there was DO evidence or trace of
insanity in her case, and he believes her
confession was made in view OF her rea,
