Goben, Democratic county auditor, promised him the delinquent taxlist, and as a consequence extra work has been done in preparing for the same and extra printers engaged to help set np the matter. At noon to-day it was ascertained that the list bad been given to toe Mar, and they had bad extra men working on it for two da vs. Then there was a mad Dem ocratic editor, and it was foui.d that the auditor had gone to Indianapolis. Last year the Review succeeded in getting toe list, but two years ago the star secured it.

Lawyer Bnttner, the manager of the infamous divorce mill recently exposed in New York city, consoles himself on the prospect of a term at Sing Sing with the thought that he will havo a excellent chance to "study law." "I intend to speud all the time I'm in prison studying law," says Buttner. 1 never have had tbe proper study or training, but I will get it if 1 goto Sing Sing." Wo hope that the warden of that famous hoseltry will see to it that he does not turn Buttner loose a more finished rascal than he is to-day. It Seems to Be in Control Now. Detroit Tribune. We shall probably know this week whether the minority of the Senate is bigger than the majority. When Roger Q. Mills said a year ao last October that the Democratic minority in Congress would control legislation the same as if it were the majority, he made a prediction which may yet be veriiied, so far as the Senate (but not the House) is concerned.

MESSAGES OF GOVERNORS

Hill, of New York, Announces He Will KotBe aCandidale for Another Term, . And Asks the Legislature to Den on nee ttieElec tionsBill Recommendations ot Campbell, of Ohio Dead-Lock in Minnesota. . Albany, Jan. 6 The Assembly was called to order at 11 o'clock this morning and immediately elected its officers. For the first time in many years the Democrats controlled the body. Wm. F. Sheehan was elected Speaker, receiving sixty-six votes, against fifty-six for Milo Acker, the Republican candidate. The Governor's message was then received and read. Governor Hill says: "In entering upon tho seventh and last year of my service as chief executive of the Stats. I will not affect to conceal my gratification at the fact that for the first time during the past 6even years the popular branch of the Legislature is in political accord with the executive. I congratulate you and the people of the Stat? that, notwithstanding tbe existence of an unfair and unjust apportionment, the popular voice has at last found expression in the selection of one bouse of the Legislature which is in harmony with the sentiments of a majority of tho people." The first paragraph of the above is accented aH an official announcement that he will not be a candidate for a third term. The Governor calls upon the Legislature to provide for the enumeration of the people of tho State in order that "fair and just apportionment may follow in duo time." lie advises a general revision of the excise laws, to the end that they may be more easily understood and enforced, but expresses the opinion that the present license charges are high enough. In that portion of his message devoted to ' "the interests of labor ' the Governor advocates compulsory arbitration of disputes between corporations and their employes. He calls the attention of tbe Legislature to tho fact that there is at present no law regulating the employmens of "Pinkerton detectives7' during labor strikes, and suggests the advisability of framing a statute either to prohibit the employment or to define tbe functions, regulate the duties and restrict the powers of such detective organizations. s ' Tbe Governor denounces the elections bill, and says that the United. States Senate is ignoring pressing legislative business in order to push through this "revolutionary measure." He urges the Legislature, by resolution or otherwise, as may seem best, to express emphatically its condemnation of tbe proposed legislation that the nnited voioe of New York's Representatives in Congress may be secured to avert from the State and county the evil effects of so unwise a law." Immediately upon the reading of themessage in the House, Speaker Sheehan appointed the committee on privileges and elections. This conimitte was empowered by resolutions to sit where it pleases and send for persons and papers in order to investigate the claims of the contestants to tho seats of seven Republicans. This committee will be the hard est-worked committee in the House, and if it endeavors td unseat the Republicans before a decisive vote is reached on the United States senatorship, it will have no time to waste. It is not believed, however, ''that the committee will reach any definite conclusion till the middle of the session. Governor Campbell's Recommendations. . Columbus, O., Jan. 6. The Ohio Legislature convened in adjourned session at 4 P.M. and listened. to the reading of the Governor's message. It says there will be1 an income for the next year of $3,500,000, and an estimated expenditure of over $4,000,000, consequently there will be necessity for care in making appropriations during the session. He recommends the federal plan of government for cities based upon the State organization, with the privilege of changing every twenty years, and that an amendment to the Constitution permitting this form of government be submitted to the people in advance of a constitutional convention: recommends the Australian system of ballot, also a primary election law: recommends that an investigation be made of the workings of the State Board of .Publio Works and the Canal Commission, and that the boards of all State institutions be increased in number and made non-partisan; recommends that the inoperative school-book Jaw of last winter be so adjnsted as to be practical and that provision be made for county superintendency of the schools: recommends the depository system for city and county funds, so that money will not accumulate in the treasury, and that there bo revision of the law relative to tbe compensation of county officers. He recommends that Ohio erect a monument to her soldiers at Chickaraauga, similar to that erected at Gettysburg, Both branches adopted resolutions of respect to the memory of three members who have died since the last session, and a number of bills were introduced, tbe most important being for the abolishment of the State Board of Pardons, against which there has been a sentiment developed in the belief that tho penitentiary is being too rapidly depopulated. Bills were also offered for the changing of the insane districts of the State in the interest of the cities. Joint resolutions were offered in the lower branch for a non-partisan commission of tonr members to inquire iuto the fee-and-salary system of the State, and report to the Governor or the next General Assembly, by bill, for a remedy. The object is to abolish the fie system and establish a uniform salary for county and city officers, and thus get rid of the comElaints against the enormous sums realized y these officials at present. A resolution was offered for a resubmission of the tax amendment, which was once defeated before the people, giving the Legislature the power ox levying taxes for general purposes. Dead-Lock In Minnesota. St. Paul, Jan. 6. The caucuses of the morning could effect nothing through their conference committee, and no result is probable from tho balloting for officers of tbe Stato House of Representatives to-day. A dead-lock of several days is among the probabilities. The House stands: Democrats, 43; Republicans, 40: Alliance, 31. One ballot was cast for Speaker, resulting: F. E. Searles, Rep., 41; 11. C. Stivers, Dem., 40; E. T. Chamberlain, Alliance. 31. The Houso then adjourned. The Senate consists of twenty-seven Republicans, fifteen Democrats and twelve Alliance men. When tbe Senate reassembled at 3 o'clock; it was to elect officers who had already been decided on by the conference committee of the Alliance and Democrats. i N. Van Dusee. the- Alliance candidate for Secretary, headed the list, and the Democrat and Alliance candidates alternated on through the list. By a vote of 27 to 25 for L. P. Hunt, Rep.. Van Dusee was elected, and a similar vote was cast for assistant secretary, enrolling clerk, engrossing clerk and Serjeant-at-arms. Then came a hot parliamentary battle over tbe rules, in which Ignatius 'Donnelly was sole spokesman for the Alliance and Democrats, and John Day Smith chief speaker for the Republicans. Senator Donnelly insisted that inasmuch as the AllianceDemocratic combine was in the majority. the majority of the committees on rail roads, gram and warehouses and banking should be farmers, and when Senator Smith moved to have the last session rules con tinue, and a committee be appointed to de cide on permanent rules, be objected vigor ously. After an unsuccessful attempt to adjourn Mr. Smith chauged his resolution tc make it agree with tbe idea of the Alliance-Democratic combine, but they defeated it. anyway, and then, after an hour and a half of wrangling over what would be done, Mr. Donnelly offered the identical resolution previously presented by Mr. Smith, and it was adopted. This, however, left the Senate with tho rules of the last session, with two exceptions, which would leave the way clear for making the changes desired by tbe Alliance. 'What GoTernor Fifer Will Recommend. Springfield, HI., Jan. C The Governor's message will be submitted to the General Assembly immediately after' the organization of the two houses to-morrow at noon. It will be tbe longest yet issued by Governor Fifer, but will not cover a great variety of subjects. The world's fair and the legislation necessary to make a magnifi

cent State exhibit comes in for a goodsharo

of tho recommendations and is discussed at length by his Excellency. Alluding to the fact that Chicago, by municipal enactment, has raised another $5,000,000, making an aggregate of $10,000,000 for that city, be reminds the legislators that the people of Illinois cannot anord to be less generous in a matter where the fair fame of tbe Commonwealth is concerned. The subject of ballot reform receives con siderable attention from the Governor, and h ) warmly urges the Legislature to take st me action this session to protect the puri ty of public elections, 'ice Governor spe cially urges upon the General Assembly the necessity of prompt legislation for tbe employment of the vast number of inmates of ti e Joliet and Chester penitentiaries, who will be idle after the expiration of the piesent State contract. 1 be recent amend ment of the Constitution provided that hereafter tbe contract labor system shall be atolished in the State of Illinois, and no convicts hired out to corporations or private individuals, which will result in the idleness of several hundred employes with in a short time. The State has thus far neglected to provide shops and material for employment by the State at tbe expiration of the present contract, and this problem xnnst be promptly solved. I he Railroad Commissioners, in their report to tbe Governor, say that they feel constrained to emphasize the great neces sity of hastening as much as possible the universal introduction of two appliances which have particular relation to the safety of trainmen, the practicability of which has been fully demonstrated, namely, continuous train brakes and automatic couplers for freight trains and cars. They also com plain that the law, as it stands, confers no adequate power upon the committee to compel the interlocking of crossings. A majority of the commission are of opinion that it does not even autbonzo them to compel tbe puttingm of interlocking planks at new crossings. They urge tbe necessity of the passing of a law by the General Assembly requiring that all crossings in this Stato be equipped with interlocking devices such as may be approved by the committee. . . . , Situation in Connecticut. Hartford, Conn., Jan. 6. The General Assembly of Connecticut meets to-morrow. Under the Constitution a majority of the popular vote is necessary to the election of Governor and other'State officers, and failing that the choice falls upon the General Assembly. This year tho Senate has ten Democratie majority and the House sixteen Republican majority. The official canvass of the returns at the Secretary of State's office shows a majority of 23 for L. B. Monis, of New Haven. Democratio candidate for Governor. The election was the first for State officers nnder tbe new secret ballot law.and in theconnt through the State several hundred Prohibition votes were rejected by moderators for having the word "for" before the office named, while several thousand such were counted. Other votes of each party were rejected for - various causes. The Republicans insist that tbe matter should be inquired into and errors, if found, be corrected. The Democrats claim there is no going back of tbe returns, and the session will open With the prospect of a dead-lock between tbe two bouses, the Senate declaring Morris elected and the House refusing aud insisting on an investigation, to be followed by tbe declaration that no election was effected, m which case the Republicans would elect their candidate. The situation is liable to assume different phases at any time, but-this is the present condition. Neither party professes any inclination to recede, apd while Democrats threaten to embarrass the re-election of Mr. Piatt to the United States Senate the Republicans express every confidence that such efforts cannot succeed. - California Prosperity. : Sacramento. Cal., Jan. 6. The biennial message of Governor Waterman, the retiring executive, was delivered to the Legislature to-day. The Governor devotes considerable space to the financial condition of the State, which, he says, is unexcelled by that of any State in the Union. The working classes have now over $104,000,000 to their credit in tbe savings banks of the State,. : Tho total indebtedness of the State L .... is $2,(2,00a The limitation of taxes to 50 cents on the $100 is recommended. Regarding7 tbe preservation' of the Yosemite valley; the Governor states that carefnl consideration of the facts in the case leads him to the conclusion that charges of vandalism are wholly unfounded, and that the general management of the valley has been consistent with its preservation and improvement as a publio park. A number of changes in the State Constitution, either by amendment or calling of a convention to frame a new Constitution, are recommended. , XebraakaLegialatare in the flands of Farmers. .- Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 6. The Legislature organized at noon to-day, the Farmers' Alliance having a clear majority and electing temporary officers without trouble. C. H. Pirtle, secretary of the State central committee of the Independent party, was elected Secretary pro tcm. of the Senate by a majority of one. S. M. Elder was elected temporary Speaker of the House and Eric Johnson Secretary. The temporary Speaker is without education or experience, and a turbulent session is confidently expected. The work of the day is significant in showing the perfect unity of the Alliance men and their determination to divide as much State patronage among their political followers as did those of their predecessors in the Legislatures heretofore. During the campaign much was said about economy, but it is not felt that there will be much displayed in the management of business. To-morrow the voting on State officers is to bo canvassed, and the contest will begin in earnest. - Complications In South Dakota. Pierre, 8. D Jan. 6. The Legislature organized to-day. The Senate elected Republican subordinate' officers by one majority. The House elected Seward, of Coddington county. Independent. Speaker by one majority. The Democrats and Independents are nnited in both houses, with tbe exception of one Independent and one Democrat, who voted with the Republicans in the House on the choice of Speaker. The opposition victory in tbe House does not disconrage Republicans on the senatorial contest, but somewhat complicates matters. There are understood to be sixteen contests in the House, which may result in increasing the fusion majority twelve or fifteen. It is believed by Republicans that they will draw Independents and Democrats enough to elect a Senator, though Moody's chances are endangered. Montana's Needs. Helena, Mont., Jan. C There was no change in the legislative situation to-day. The Senate and Democratic House met in joint session, and the Governor read his message. This document is quite lengthy and deals principally with local affairs. The Republican House was in session only a little while, but attempted to do no business. The Governor calls attention to the dangers that may result from a failure of legislation this session. There is no provision for canvassing the State election in lbl. In regard to the choosing of presidential electors, also, some provision must be made, or the State will lose its vote in the electoral congress. The New Hampshire Tangle. Concord, N. II., Jan. 6. Tho closing arguments in the proceding against House Clerk Jewett were made to-day. and the court deoided to dismiss the cases against him on the ground of want of jurisdiction. This decision leaves the matter of making up the roll of members of the House in Clerk Jewett's hands, and the admission of the "if entitled'' members will result in tbe election of Tuttle (K'ep.) for Governor and a Republican United States Senator. w aH . Governor Bearer's Message. IlARRisnuno, Jan. C Governor Beaver, in his anmal message to the Legislature. which convened to-day, advocates the passage of such laws in regard to the ballot as will secure to every voter freedom from dictation in casting his vote and absolute certainty as to us being counted as cast, nnit exnrftA&ea the oninion that thnm in be no danger of going too far in either of tnese directions.

New York Special to St Louis Globe-Democrat. Emma Abbott's life was a remarkable il lustration of tbe irresistible power of pluck and luck combined. In the days of her success she often related to her friends how, as a girl of six aud seven years, she bad wandered about barefooted, and in her one gown, made from a coarse sack, with 'liest family Hour' in great indelible letters across the back. She began to win admiration for her voice when only eight years old, and while still a child sang to applauding audiences in small Illinois towns. One day Clara Louise Kellogg heard the little blue-eyed girl singing to herself in the open air. The great singer recognized the possibilities of the untrained voice and hastened to help the embryo songstress to advantages for cultivating it. 2Sbe raised money for her, cave her some, and had her sent to New York for training. This bit of good fortune was typical of almost every critical turn in Miss Abbott's subsequent career. Some time afterward the plain young woman wbobad developed from tbe little Peoria girl was singing 'Home Sweet, Home" to a party of homesick Americans in the dingy parlor of a French mansion. An elderly lady stolo silently into tbe room and listened. "Sing something else," she finally requested. Miss Abbott complied, and the elderly woman, after thanking her, left as si leutly as she had entered. A few days later the American girl received a sum mons to sing before one of the richest women in Europe, and the Baroness de Rothschild gave 18.0U0 francs to Emma Abbott's musical culture on tbe recommendation of the great musical critic who accidentally heard her sing the old song for some strangers in a little boarding-house in Paris. Emma Abbott, however, did not always wait for luck to come to her, but often sought it with persistence and daring. It was during her student life in Pans that she resolved to see Patti, who was stopping at a near-by hotel. "1 do not wish to see her or the secret she says she has in her pocket," declared Patti when plain and unknown Miss Abbott was announced. Tbe girl at the door persisted, and finally Patti relented ungraciously with a "Let her In." "What is the secret!" asked the prima donna at once as tbe girl entered the room. "Only this, madam," the plucky young woman answered, drawing a cheap fan from her pocket; "will you not write your name ouitP Patti scowled, laughed and wrote in delicate Italian letters the words "Adelina Patti." "I can sing a little," volunteered the young woman, as she took back the fan. "Well, sing then," said Patti. leaning back in a listening attitude.. Miss Abbott sang. "Take these." Patti cried at the end of the simple tonr, unfastening some jewels from her ears; "and these." later on she said, handing her some letters to Mapleson. The little 25o fan has a place among Emma Abbott's treasures. Their Hons Is Fragile. 8t PauI Pioneer Press.

Is there any Kepublican party in Indiana outside of a few newspaper otlicesT Men and brethren, it is getting a little tiresome for the editors. Did you ever think that you are uot holding up their hands cv ail, that you are giving them no encouragement whatever? What are yon doing for the party? Is there any Kepublican party organization in Indiana? If there is, where is it, and what is it doing? Are there any liepublican clubs and what are they doing? Are there any county committees, and if there .are, what are they about? Tbe outlook indicates that there is no Republican organization in this State. Do Republican! intend to lie down and be walked over! "Lo Is Reliable In One Ilespect. Helena JournaL An important lesson s taught by the latest of our Indian experiences, which is that the white can always count upon treachery as a snre resort of the red-skin. It is a practice that has characterized him from his earliest dealings with tbe white race, and probably the last one that snrvires the doom of his race will do the supreme act of treachery before taking his leave of the world. It's a Different Matter NowNebraska JournaL The great editors of Gotham have discovered that "tbe Republicans lose on Porter's figures'' and have stopped their demand for a new census couut with wonderful unanimity. Now, if the Republicans lose, why not continue tho agitation for a new enumeration? Justico was what the gentlemen were after with so much eagerness but a few short weeks ago. Hard to Paint the Lily. Cbicajro JournaL , Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, thinks that the passage of tbe elections bill would "still further embitter the Soath." As the South is now so bitter that it is unsafe for a correspondent of a Republican newspaper to go there for the purpose of collecting news regarding a murder, the argument does not count for much.
