Fhawktobt. Ky., Jaa la Got. Bredler'smessage was given to the legist ture
messsgo entire would occupy over elevencolumns of nowspaper space. The followinggives the gist of the subjects treated: Themessage nhows very oareful preparation, tak-ing Into CvnsWeratloa the disadvantages ollimited time and other hind ranees underwhlchthe governor worked.
Finances Is the first subject tackled. Thegovernor a handicapped by not getting thepromised report of Auditor Norman, but wasfurnished with suQciont material by that ofa-ela- L
By reason of the decision of the appellateourt In the haute tax caaes, tha state has
been materially relieved. In other words,the payment ef 7 nstead of 43K cantson tha $100 Into the state treasuryhas largely auemented the revouue. This.howover, will add te the burden of manyoountles end elt.es which will now be com-
pelled to lzcreate their rats of taxation Inorder to supplement the losios they have sus-tained by reason of the fact that the bnoVi
have. In a large xneaiure, been relieved ofcounty and municipal taxes.
Bat notwithstanding this relief to the state.It will be seen that Its financial condition Isnot at all satltfactory.
Auditor Norman Informs me that nt the endof the flsral year. June SO, I89V there was adeficit In ths treasury of MI.90 I7rnnd
77 to the credit of the school fund. On the31st of December. 1MV thU deficit Is said tohove been Jl?3s. There was at that datsJ1.S.C-8T.9- In the rleklng fund, set pprt, how-
ever. o pay military bonds and interest thendue. 'Ihe sheriff had paid in all tuxe-- duetrie state except tS.Wi owing by the sheriff ofBrackea aounty.
There will bo due the common school teach-ers during this month tie remaining ona-flf- th
of wages, about tiOO.coi The amount of un-
paid warrants la :M.StS 1 The amount ofclaims filed and allowed Is etlmated at P,-(XX- X
There Is also due the charitable Institu-tions for the 1 quarter I1IS.O00. and thefarther sum of !K WJ on appropriations to en-
large their buildings.Warrants have been Issued to the state of-
ficials for salaries, but the amount unpaid lanot stated. Thsse, however, are embraced Inthe unpaid warrants mentioned. Besidesthese there" Is a considerable amonnt due onclaims allowed, but not yet presented to theauditor.
The Indebtedness above named is in addi-tion to ths bonded Indebtedness of the state,as follows, as shown by the auditor's report atthe end of the fiscal year 1831. page.Ufl:Military bonds .7 000 00

tion t,Slr,!B8 18
Total Indebtedness ,9.9e0 16
The resources cf the sinking fund in said re-
port are estimated at t70t.6es.91.Semi-annu- al interest Is payable upon the
school bonds held by the board of education,but the state will not be called upon to pay theprincipal The certificates of Indebtednessdraw Interest, but the principal does not talldue until 8C4.
As already stated, the amount In the sinkingfund will be paid on the military bonds.
It Is manifest that steps must be taken toliquidate debts now due. for the credit of thestate mutt be maintained at all hazards. Asto what the estimated expenses and revenuesof the present fiscal year may be I do cotknow I fear, however that the present taxrato will not prove sufficient to meet currentexpenses but as I h&vo not its necessary databefore me, 1 oan no. speak with any degreeof certainty. I shall recommend certainreforms, which. If adopted, will. In my judg-ment curtail expenses and increase the reve-nue. Some of these, however, can not bemade effective for some time to come, oth-ers may prove beneficial during the presentyear.
I submit to yomr wisdom on full Information,after Inspection of auditor's report (whlcnshould be obtained at as early n date as pos-sible) and a elose scrutiny of all the surround-ings, whether or not the rate of taxationshould be lnareasad, or what ahould be done toprovide payment of accrued lndebtednesa
As stated, some ef the remedies recom-mended mar not be put Into spaedy operationbeoauae of the fast that they can not becomeavailable until the present terms of those Inoffice have expired, but that turnUhes no rea-son why they should not be adopted so thatthey may prove of benefit in the future
The message calls att-ntl- to the enormousexpense to the stats of criminal prosecutions,and reoommends that Jurisdiction of prosecu-tions, when the maximum of flee is under toOO.ormaximum of Imprisonment Is under one year,be transferred to the Judgss of quarterlycourts and the concurrent jurisdiction vtjustices and police judges with said court totry misdemeanors as now fixed by lav.-- (thetrials to be had under warrants).
The Indiscriminate summoning of witnessesand the expense of examining courts aro alsocriticised. The message oontlnues:
The chief source of expense, however, isfound In hung juries and repeated trtalt. Innearly every lnstan'ce this results from ty
In determining the extent of punish-ment. In the federal and many state court ofthe union It has proven quite efficacious,while having the jury to pass on guilt and Itsdegree, to ciothe the Judge with power to fixthe punishment Doubtless the adoption ofthis rulo In Kentucky would save the statethousands of dollars, and at the same time re-
sult In more speedy punishment of criminals.The abolition of the office of commonwealth's
attorney was unquestionably coniempKted bythe f rimers of the constitution. In my Judg-ment this o ffice should be abollshd. In manyof the states of th? union the office does cotexist, and the laws In such states nre equallywell administered as those where it does exist.By placing in the hands of the county attorneyall prosecutions, and giving him a fair percent-age on fines and forfeitures. In addition toallewanees made by the counties, the officewould be more desirable and be sought by agood olass of aompetent lawyers. I do cotmean by this to Insinuate that sueh offices arenot now filled by competent gentlemen, butthat men of larger experience, who. In manyInstances, cu not now afford to take the place,would readily accept It on account of tha in-
creased salary.The office of the register of the land office
has for years been & source of expense, with-out corresponding benefit to the state. Theconstitution clearly contemplated Its boll-tio- n.
and 1 trust you mar see fit to abolish Itat this session, placing the bookb and papersof the office in the hands of tha auditor or sec-retary of state, after the expiration of thapresent term, and providing one clerk to lookafter the discharge of Its du'les And inthis connection your attention Is calledto the fact that patents are being con-stantly Issued for the land already ap-propriated. The effect of this is to cloudtitles and lessen the value of real estate. It issuggested that you may require every prsonasking for a surrey and warrant to notify theccunty procession? rs. and have them give no-tice to all persons who have lands adjoiningthe land sought to be appropriated, and allothers who are known to them to hsvo anyclaim upon the adjoining lands, or that soughtto b patented, at the time of a -- king the sur-rey.
The commissioner of agriculture and theagricultural bureau cost the state annually alargo sum of monev The benoflt. If any,derived fa very slight As to the grain in-
spector and weigher. If necessary the power toappoint might bo lodged with some st.te office An amendment should be proposed to theconstitution for the abolishment of this unnec-essary state appendage
The board of equalization, tn my Judgment,has proven an affliction. The selection of menin distant portioi.8 of the state to pasa uponthe value of property already swore to br theparty assessed, rrrtlfled by the assessor andrevised by the county supervisors of the lo-cality where It is nltJated.enn not be other-wise than uncertain and unjust. It is sug-gested that the revenue or auditor's egent,whose duties and compensation have recentlybeen regulated by law tn such way as tomake them an advantage to the lte, be re-quired to look carefully lata the list of as-sessed property after the meeting of the su-pervisors and take sueh steps as they deemnecessary, by action or prosecution, to dis-cover anr property not listed, and where prop-erty has been assessed at less than its valueat a fair voluntary sale, to Institute such pro-ceeding as may be necessary to recover thetaxes properly comltg to the rtato, togetherwith a certain per cent by way of compensa-tion to the tcent
The auditor's sgent ahould be an attorney atlaw. or. if not, should be compelled to employan attorney and compensate hln out of his percent, for his services.
Ho recommends that the circuit courts belG;:ind and expenses lessened by Jurisdictionin prosecutions whore the maximum fine isunder 400 or imprisonment under one year,being transferred to the judges of quarterlycourts and the concurrent jurisdiction of Jus-- "tlces and police Judges, with said court to trymisdemeanor as cow fixed br law The en--

It is true lh it salaries cannot bo reducedexcept to take effect tltpr the etpir tlon fthe terms of the present incumbents, but thUfurnishes no Just reason whr they shou'd notbe reduced to take effect ottor that time. Pub-lic offlclals should be reasonably recompensed,but the tuxpa er ahould not be overburdenedor oppressed -
The passage cf a well regulated law increasing the license fees of wholesale and retailliquor dealers, druggists and distillers would I
produce considerable revenue. The tame mufbe said of Increased license Jees on pool andbilliard tables and other similar devices, andof special tnxes for the sale of tob-cc- o. cig-ars, etc
The license fees forelrcuses and other enter-tainments might well be Increased and regula-ted aceordlng to population of the variouscounties In whloh the7 exhibit. License feesm'ght be required of all persons selling pistolcartridges and ail newspapers and others offer-ing to furnish firearms as premiums.
A fee of two dollars might be charged foreach commission lsued to an officer. The taron deeds and mortgages should be regulatedaceordlng to the value cf the property mort-gaged or conveyed, not less than 25 cents andcot more than two dollars. Thero Is no reasonwhy a mortgtge or deed for $100 worth of prop-erty should be tuxed as much as one for Jl U00
worth of property.It Is believed that a carefully considered
bill, along the line indicated, woul preducetho needful amount ef tevenuo. These addi-tional taxes may be readily repealed In tuo
vent that the reforms suggested, togetherwith those that may occur to you, should ma-terially lessen expenses.
It Is suggested that the SOI Idle convicts Inthe penitentiary might be employed in build-ing new capital buildings, and that a new man-sion should alo be erected.
Tor many years mere ohlldren have beeneontlned in the penitentiary, and a number nrenow confined there, despite tho fact that manyhave been pardoned by tho various rovernoraon account of their extreme youthfulness- -
These children have been, and are now beingassociated with old and hardened malefacturs,and doubtless many who might have been re-
formed have become the most accomplishedcriminals by reason of superior advantagesand training In the penitentiary.
It, is respectfully recommended that theFeeble-minde- d Institute be abolished and theinmates returned as lunatics, or returned un-der the present statutes to thctj friends or tothe counties from which they catno and thstthe bulldlccs be turned Into a house of re-
form, and such changes, together with regula-tions enacted for Its management as you mayconsider best
The prevalence of mob violence in Kentuckyis deplorable. I suggest that a statute be en-
acted providing severe penalties against allpersons who, directly or Indirectly, by word oract, enoourage such atrocities.D Freedom ot speech and of the press docs cotImply unbridled license. The right to endorseviolations of law and encourage crime does notexist nnywhere in good government. Thepress cf the United States is denouncing inunmeasured terms the late crimes committedIn Marion county, and we can not hope to at-
tract peace-lovin- g and people tothe state if such Inhuman practlcos go unpun-ished.
Thst tho present law in the United Statesconcerning Immigration should be carefullyremodeled, and the tide of worthless and dan-gerous people Hooding our shores bo stayed.Is admitted by all sober-thinki- men.
It might be of benefit if your honorablebody would request our senators and repres-entatives in congress to take some steps toremedy this evil
Section 4 artiole 3. chapter 103 ot thegeneral statutes, provides that "a commit-tee composed ot members ot bothhouses Bhall be appointed within tendays nlttr the organization of the gen-
eral assembly at every regu ar sessionthereof, whose duty it shall he personally toexamine into the treasury examine all papersor vouchers upon which money has teen paidfor each ot tho preceding two years, ascertainthe amount ot money paid into and paid out otthe treasury, and the amount of public moneyon hand," etc. The same section requires teeauditor s offloe to be investignted.
Ihtfc seems to have been omitted from theKentucky statutes, but is yet in force, asthose !t.itutes have not been adopted as con-taining all the law of the state
Gov. Buckncr called attention- - to the fact..hit thlsstauto had beeu oterooked and re-
quested that all the stale offices should becarefully inspectod.ind reported upon. I like-
wise rail rour attention tc this statute, and re-
peat his recommendation.I am Informed tnat in September. 1895 J A.

formed that su- - h killing wss not done whileTompkins was in the discharge of his duty asa member of the posse.
I recommend that you immediatolv enact aIf w such as will cover this and all simillareases that have arisen or rray arise, enabling- -
the commonwealth to protect her citizensthrough her cwn courts.
There is a remarkably larger percentage, oflunatics from some localities in thestate than from others, so much so as toawake the suspicion that there are pos.iblymany confined ho are not lunatic, but whounder the statutesare idiots and are not dan-gerous or uncontrollable.

It is said that Kentucky pays twice as mucnfor school books as States north ot us If thisbe true such laws should be enacted as willremedy It It uniformity In text bcoks shouldbe required the prices should bj necessarilyreduced.
It is respectfully recommended tint thoFeeble lnded Institute be abolished, and theinmates returned as lunatics are returned un-der the present statutes to their friends or tothe counties from which they cr.rne. and thatthe buildings bo turned into a house of
Of late numerous untruthful stories con-cerning the commission of crime in Kentuckyhave been given currency by unprincipled cor-respondents, ell to the great detriment of thestate. I recommend, in order to restrain thseIrresponsible persons, that a liw should bapassed providing severe punishment of allpersons who willfully state, delis er or trans-mit to any manager, editor, publlher report-er or other employe of any periodical or serial,any falsehood concerning any perion, corpora-tion or community.
The message refers to the 'iniquitouspractices" of gerrymandering, and aft.erquoting the provisions of the com tltutlon. con-tinues:
The ru'es prescribed are plain. Was thepresent apportionment made within theserules, er as nearly so as practicable? If so,tho constitution has been complijd with, andno other apportionment can lie had forten years after these were made.If. on the other hand, ths coni tltutlon hasbeen disregarded, no apportionment has beenmade, for thrt which Is unconstitutional is ofno effect. The authority, it is true, was givento bo exercised at tho ttmo mentioned, but notprohibited from being exerciser thereafter.It lot any reason It was nqt then exercised, orif exercised, so done In violation c f the organiolaw, the renernl assembly now htis the right,and it is Its duty to exercise it in 11 proper way.
To make n row apportionment fippllcable topersons now holding office ould produce con-tusion and injury, nnd therofore any new ap-portionment bill should not take effect untilafter the expiration of the terms nf those nowin office. I'oubtless If this 1; not done the courtswill be called upon to pass on tie question,and far more trouble and confuslo a result thanIt the natter be now properly adjtstcd. It maybe xnld that If the apportionment is void, thepresent general assembly la not legal body.This argument can cot be sustained bee 4Use Itwould produce anarchy. governmenthas the inherent right to maintain its ex-istence, otherwise there could be no govern-ment. The general assembly, upen whom wasdevolved this important trust, h.ts ceased toexist and can cot be called Into life. Thepresent general assembly, therefore if an un-
constitutional apportionment hat been made,should correot the ovll in the Interest of goodgovernment.
First, as to the appellate dlstnqts. it will beseen that, according to tho census of 1890 un-der whlrh they were created, their populationand area is ns follows:.
, AreaDistrict. Population. Sq. milesFirst. 293,087 6.3S7Second. :77.026 6.805Third K0 9H 7.987Fourth-- 180.IM 175
fiztn...... ........ ...... ... 50 cod 6.033Sixth , .161,083 4354Seventh .... 227.330 7.6E3
The more statement of populatif n and areaplainly shows that In apportioning; these dis-tricts the constitutional regulatlot "that dueregard should be had to territory, businessand population" was not obeyed. '
But Improper as this apportionment Is sho nto be. there is anotner fact connea ted with cir-cuit apportionment Infinitely morl to.
Section 138. constitution, declares, "eachcounty having a city of --0 000 inhabitants, nnd& population, including said cltj, cf 40,000 ormoro, may constitute a district, etc Thsmanifest meaning of the section its. that thecounty must have a population ot j ht least 40000. or it can not be made a district: and noteven then, unless tho county contains a city cf10.000 population. j
Tho Unltfd Mates census of 189( shows thatFayette couctyhad a population if yetIn tho face of this, the district was! established.In order to carry out the intent of j the organiolaw, when tho legislature regulated salaries.In districts contemplated by (Motion I S,'supn, they placed tho limit of tbacompensation ot sheriffs slid circuitcourt clerks at not excjiedlng fl-C-
annually, eftr payment of dep-uties, assistants and ex)nses oloffice. Subiequbnt to the ennotnientof thisstatute a rule was issued by tile common,wealth against the sheriff and county clerk otJ Jtyotte county to show cause!) why theyVaould not name their deputirsjio that thaJudsre might fix their salaries purj ban t to thastatnte (tec tlon 1778) They rtjlpondcd bystating that Fayette county had 3 Jver had asSuch, as ).000 population.

cumbents. There could be no moro fitting andproper time to do this than the present whioeach party has a majority in one branch of thageneral assembly, and may s act as jcheck In the other If not udju.led new. thetime may come when both ho ies maybe under the control of a different pirty tothat whleh made the present apportionment,and when party spirit may cause a pi-tls-
apportionment to bo attempted and possibi7effected, though I promise now. if I am fienthe chief executh e of this ststs, it shall not bedone with my consent or sppiovsL
And now. in conclusion, allow me tc In-
