GOV. CLEAvEs' SPECIAL MESSAGE.
To the Honorable Senate and House Of Rep
rpSeDtatiyeS.

To the Honorable Senate and House Of Rep
resentatives:
In compliance with the constitutional
requirement applicable to the executive,
you will permit me to submit, for your
consideration, some suggestions relating
to the financial condition of the state; and
/ also submit herewith a communication
from the state treasurer, a statement of
appropriations already made at this ses
sion, amounting to the sum of 81, ,lS4, ,5l4.so
also an estimate from the state treasurer
of the additional regular expenditures re
quired for the year 1893, amounting to the
sum of $4,000 "A; also statement of pro
posed appropriations for 1898, reported by
committees and now pending before the
legislature, amounting to the sum of
$lG9, 425, So; and also a statement of the es
timated additional appropriations asked
for and now pending before committees
that have not been finally adjudicated upon,
amounting to the sum of $50, 500, making
an aggregate of 81 $50, ,461. 40.
also have the honor to submit here
with an estimate from the state treasurer
of the receipts for the year 1893. 1t is
based on general laws as they existed on
the first day of January last
An additional revenue of some thirty
five or forty thousand dollars will be re-
ceived from the railroads by reason Of in
creased taxation upon these corporations,
but 60 per cent Of the additional revenue
received from the Maine Central railroad
must be refunded to the various cities and
towns, and also quite a per cent of the
additional revenue received from the Bos-
ton and Maine railroad, and a very large
portion of this increased revenue comes
from these two corporations.
One-half of whatever additional amount
of revenue may be received from the saw
ings banks will be distributed to various
towns for school purposes. These two
items constitute the principle portion OF
the additional revenue secured by recent
legislation. 1t will therefore be observed
that while all of this increased revenue, in
4he first instance. is paid into the state
treasury, it is not entirely available to
meet appropriations made by the legisla-
ture, for existing laws provide that very
large portion of the same shall be used for
other specific purposes.
The appropriations for the year 1891
amounted to the sum Of 81 ,657 ,936.H. Two
hundred thousand dollars, on account Of
the temporary loan, was included In such
appropriations.
The first appropriation bill passed
at this session Of the legislature
also included $2O0, 900 ON account OF
such temporary loan, but if excessive ap-
preparations are to follow, the treasurer
will be required to renew this entire loan,
and use the money appropriated for this
specific object for other purposes.
Our existing temporary loan Of $4,000
reaches the constitutional limit. We are
precluded by the constitution from creating
''any debt, or debts, liza bility or liabilities,
on behalf Of the state, which shall singly
or in the aggregate, with previous debts or
liabilities hegaaftAl iaeuyya6 at Any one

Lovers of music in Dedham and vicin-
ity spent an evening of rare enjoyment at
the Dedham Congregational church, Thurs
day evening, March End, listening to the
concert by the following talent of Bangor:
The celebrated Apollo male quartette; Mrs.
Nelson, the favorite contralto; +. G.
Adams and Mr. Tuck, talented cornetists;
Master Harold Sawyer, the boy violinist,
accompanied by Mrs. F. L. Tuck, the organ
ist. We expected great pleasure from the
entertainment as we do not often have the
privilege of hearing any but home talent,
and We were not disappointed. The ladies'
circle furnished supper at G. A. r. Hall.
The proceeds of the concert will aid in
paving for the new furnace which has
been purchased for the church this winter.

For the Ellsworth American
The Index of Life.

II Is not the thing you do, dear,
Or what you think or say,
That shall define your reward
At the final judgment day;
It's the purpose Of your life,
It's your motive that will betray,
When God shall garner the wheat,
And scatter the chat away.
The record Of your life, dear.
May fair and perfect be,
And in the worlds esteem
You may stand In high degree;
Or your life may be counted failure.
Your story may never be told.
But II only your motive Is pure,
Twill be written In letters of gold.
No box Of costly ointment
Your hand may ever break,
But God will regard your wish,
And the will for the deed will take.
It's the spirit and not the form, dear,
That is the hearts true creed.
Its the meaning and not the act,
That shall answer for your deed.
wrong cannot be holly wrong,
Unless by hate desired,
And kindly deeds not truly kind,
II not by love inspired.
II you from worldly policy
Your generous deeds perform,
They Will be as wood and hay and stubble
In the coming judgment morn.
1t was not the widows mite
That made her gift so great.
1t Is not the longest life, dear,
That shall reach TO heavens estate.
The briefest spans the longest life
II lived with right intent,
The mills OF God turn slow. dear,
Be patient and content.
Then learn the lesson well. dear,
A truth for you and me.
Ii Is not what We do. but are,
Whate'er our lot may be.
And It's not the thing We do.
But our motive God will weigh.
And that shall define our reward,
At the crowning Judgment day.
