The Governor's Message. Governor Ilartianft's fourth armnnl mes snge was submitted to both houses jester d;iy doming. Tlie message is a docu ment of considerable length, and in mere point of literary merit it excels any of tlio former ones that have emanated from the panic source. But what t lie message gains in smoothness and grace of style it loses in force, precision and official sincerity. While tiie governor balances his nicely rounded sentences the representatives of the people vi!l sometimes be at a loss con cerning bis teal purpose. lie seems to be J'ius IX. and the Centennial.

M. C. Kerr from the ing sources of taxation during the vear there is reason to believe that there will be . no diminution in tlio funds unless it bo made by removing a portion of I he taxes. Since theappropi iations cannot be reduced to any considerable extent, and since new taxes are out of the question in this period of business deprcs-ion, the governor iccornmcnds that a portion of the money in the sinking fund be diverted to the or- diiay needs of the state government. He ' "NKgesis mat one-iinro ot; the revenue from tlio tax on corpor.it ion stocks be as signed to the general fund. The revenue from the corporation tax in 1373 amounted to $ l;i"i,57, which would give neatly Ihiee-quaifeis of a million to the general fund, and this revenue is more likely to increase than diminish. According to the estimate of Oiiv. Hartranft the withdrawal of this amount from the sinking fund would relieve the embarrassed condition of the treasury and at the same time leave enough money to liquidate the whole state debt in iiftecn years. Another im portant recommendation of the governor in connection with this subject 7s that a law be enacted authorizing the sinking fund commissioners to invest the unex pended balance in the treasury in the bonds of the state or of the United States. In his recommendation concerning the public schools of the state the governor reiterates the opinions of bis former mes sages.

Though excellent in its way it seems some what out of placo in an executive message, unless tho governor was especially desirom .if im pressing on tho legislature the fact that "rings" have existed in municipal govern ment since the first public c rporation jobs were started in the ancient cities of Tyre and Sidon. IJeginuing with the cities of rineincia tho governor traces the history of municipal corruption down through the commercial towns of the middle ages until tbe defeat of Ilenszey in Philadelphia seems to have afforded the material for the last touches of the executive pen. This historical resume is merely preliminary to the recommendation that ti e legislature authorize the appointment of a commission of experienced pe: sons to examine into the condition of our cities and towns and pre pare such legislation as will meet the abuses in the municipal government. Such an investigation into the management of the municipal affairs .if the cities of the state would nnd inbtedly rip up a fearful amount of official depravity. Unless the legislature bo utteily insensible to the elo quence munici tbe commission will be authorized without. delay. As an additional inducement for raising this commission the governor gives it as bis candid opinion that all the legis lation upon the statute book referring to municipalities should bo repealed. , The governor next turns his attention to the lawless outbreaks in the coal regions I lkl.il.lim H'ltf It rPUII Al.l r 1.

Helpless, they drifted with the wind and current. Gross soon summoned assistance, and they were found two miles In-low. The next thing was to reach them. Gross, with bis as sistants, crawled on the ice as fu- as pos sible, and then threw ropes, which tho sufferers tied to themselves, and were drawn out through water and over ice.

A quarrel ensued, and the crowd which had collected asked the Per sian what the cause of tho trouble was. He determined to get rid of his creditor, and, turning to tho crowd, said, "If this man had merely insulted me I should haTe kept silent, but be has abused our religion and blasphemed the prophets. I cannot, therefore, be silent." The crowd fell upon the Habbi and threatened to kill him. He took re f uce in the neighboring bouse of a rich Persian, to whom he appealed for pro tection. The latter concealed the Jew in an inner room and barred the doors of the house. The ciowd demanded a surrender. Tbe noble Persian refused, and the doors were broken down. Tbe lawless rabble poured in, found tho fugitive, dragged him into tho street and stoned him to death. The dead body was dragged about tho town with jeers and finally brought into tbe maikct place, where tbe mouth was filled with powdei and the head was blown to pieces. A fire was then kindled and the corpse was burned up. Four Jews, who had fallen into the mob, were ill treated and severely wounded.
