Governor Bradley's Message.

Frankfort, Ky, Jan. Ex-Governor Bradleys message was received at il 30 o'clock and was read in the house. It recommends a new state capitol building and a new governors mansion. It con- demns mob law and asks for the passage of laws imposing rigid penalties upon mob or mobs. It also recommends new judicial legislative appointment laws and the abolishment of the bureau of agri- culture, register of lands and common wealths attorney It asks for the pas- sage of laws imposing severe penaltiesfor violation of election laws and that for eign corporations be compelled to organ ize under the laws of this state before be- ing allowed to do business here. It es- inmates an increased deficit In the state treasury next June and indicates that it will be impossible to reduce the rate of state taxation. It proposes cut in the salaries of state officials and an increase of license fees in order to replenish the state treasury.

Hepburn would result in pandemonium being let loose on the floor of the house. There was no other policy in any legisla tive body in the civilized world than that the selection of the member to speak shall be lodged in the speaker or pre- siding officer
 Mr. Bell, populist, of Colorado, was glad that attention had been called to this matter. For five weeks, he said, not populist member had been permitted to open his mouth. He had gone to the speaker in the course of the period dur ing which the house was doing nothing whatever and asked to be recognized to present a request for unanimous consid- eration of a resolution directing the com- mittee on coinage, weights and measures to investigate and report what effect upon the interests of the country had been exercised by the divergence be- tween the values of gold and silver. The speaker kindly but firmly told him that he would not like to extend recognition for that purpose, and he did not
 Dfverting from the question proper, MT. Bell discussed the manner in which the populists had been treated in the com position of the committees. Not a sin gle respectable assignment had been giv- en the populstS,' he said. 'The house had descended from it's former high es- tate to be the body of bosses, the body of tyranny. where individualism was swal- lowed up by few old wheel horses who came down here to run the American congress-"
 MT. Bell spoke in this strain for about half an hour, and when he concluded half dozen members sprang to their feet clamoring for recognition. Among them was Mr Hepburn, who was given the floor. With significant emphasis, he said:
 MT Speaker, desire to withdraw the amendment"
 This apparent effect of the working of the amendment was received with shouts joined.
 The adoption of the proposition of the Forty-seventh congress to regulate the entertainment of a quorum was advo- cated by MT. Henderson, republican, of Iowa, because it would be efficacious, and under present conditions it could not be said that it's adoption was desired for partisan purposes merely.
 The argument upon the amendment was largely conducted on legal lines. MT. Bailey discussed the difference between a quorum and the 'quorum," and as to the effect of the distinction upon legsla- tion. He maintained that a bill must re- ceive the affirmative votes of a majority of quorum of the house.
 Speaker Reed took brief part in the discussion, antagonizing the view taken by Mir Bailey of the decision. of the su- preme court of the United States upon the rule of the Fifty-first congress regu- lating the question. If Mr. Bailey's posi- tion were correct, the speaker said, he must hold that no bill could pass the house receiving less than 80 affirmative votes.
 The discussion was continued by MT. Grow, republican, of Pennsylvania, MT. Catchings and MT. McMillin, and at 4:55 o'clock the house adjourned.
