SALE OF LANDS.

1t is my earnest hope that be
fore another year at least some
revenue may be derived from the pro-
Ceeds of sale and lease of lands, but
to accomplish such result it will be i'm
perative that selections Of land be
made, and the approval Of the secretary
of the interior procured with all posi-
bic promptness and dispatch.
SEASONABLE ADVICE.
1 recommend to your consideration
the propriety of increasing the reve-
nues to some extent by legislation
which will authorize the following:
A moderate annual license on for
eign insurance and other companies
doing business within the state.
4 moderate inheritance tax to
paid by wealthy estates in probace
A fee Of not to exceed so cents per
thousand on the capital stock of each
corporation hereafter Incorporated
within this state.
All of these suggestions are actual
realities in various other states. and
yield liz. some instances revenues that
are Of great advantage
FOR THE PARTY's SAKE.
In conclusion. / cannot forbear TO
urge upon you the necessity of keep
iilS the expenses safely WlInln the rev.
enues. No work or new undertaking,
involving expenditure of money. not
an absolute necessity, should be coun-
tenaneed at this session Neither
should unnecessary Offices be created.
We were elected upon platform
pledged TO economy Let us live up
to our pledges The party charged
with the responsibility of legislation
has had committed TO it a great trust,
for the faithful execution of which the
people will hold it to the strictest ac-
eountability If it shall succeed in
performing its responsible duties hon
estly. faithfully and. economically. and
use its power for the general good, it's
fitness for public trust will be demon
strated anew, and the people will know
where TO repose their confidence again.

tons of the season. The middle-aged
forget their sordid cares-forget, al
most their struggle to keep the wolf
from the dool-and join in the holiday
gladness.
The blessing of the holidays is seen
abroad in the cheerfulness and self
sacrifice with which home people bur-
den themselves down with bundles, all
to give pleasure to loved ones. Men
who superblv order all their packages
sent home, take pleasure in carrying
home their Christmas bundles, all for
the pleasure of introducing them Sc
cretly, TO hide them away until the day
arrives.
