ILLINOIS. ANNUAL MESSAGE OF GOV. CULLOM. The annusl repert of the railroad and warshonss commissioners will be found to contain & comprehensive statement of the condition and opera- tions of the railroads in this state more than ever before. This vast interest, whose anoual gross earnings are near 1y £50,000,000 and which employs over 30,000 persons in our state, and in which every citizen is interested, either a3 tax-payer, stockholder or patron, which enters into and concerus every business interest, necaesarily demands the carefal study and attention of the law-maker. The pest year bas beeu an unusually prosperous one for railrosds. Their business has been immensely enlarged end their earnings increased. Very many have come out of a condition of insclvency or serious financisl embat- rassment, and have bees reorganized cader hopeful auspices. The present favorablo condition of these corpora- tions ia the result of great busivess activity and general prosperity. The power of the state to enforce proper regulations upon common car- riers to prevent extortion and unjust discrimination, and provide for public asfoty, is now established and adm ted. ” I: has been recognized and firmed by the highest courts in the nnd. Tatho exercise of this power. in the light of the experlence of old: commuaitize as well as our own, t necessity of a tribunal like the ra warchouss commission is Through ns between the the railwsys are becoming better understood, and many evils have been reformed. I hope that, uader the influence of public opinion, eulightened by the decisions of the courts, the railrosds wiil adopt such a policy a8 mil! make their relatiors with the public entirely harmonious. OHIO ANNUAL MESSAGE OF GOVERNOR oS TER. The report of the commissioner of raiiroads and telegraph shows s large increase in the business of the rail- roads, a decided improvement in their condition, with a large increase of equipment, and a general degree of prosperity never before equaled. With but a few exceptions they bave promptly responded to the re- quirements of the law in furnishing railrosd politics during tve past few statistics thos required, and they have, with a commendable splrit, complied respects with the provisions of the statutes. Present freight rates aro not burden- some, yet, in some localities, discrimi- { nations in rates are complained of. The consolidation of, and controi thus secured by, the great trunk lines, cauees some alarm, especially among the agricultural classes, and tions are made for the legislative ac- tion to prevent exorbitant rates and unjust discriminations. "The office of cor roads and telegraphs, in view of the enormous Interests involved, wud the possibilities that legislation. may be- come necessary to protect the people from the payment of exorbitant freight rates, and from unfair and unjust dis- criminations, is indeed an office of great {mporiance, and it should have better support. The ealary of the commissioner shouid be increased, and be should bave the meaus {o em- ploy an efficient engineer to aid him in the proper discharge of his duties. CALIFORNIA, ANNUAL WESSAGE OF GOVERNOR PER KINS, OF CALIFORNIA, Steam transportation, both by railroad and ocean carriage, acquires year by year argumented importance. Increased facilities of transportation by rail has developed a vast inland commerce, supplementing and in- creasing the commereial intercourse of nations. _Transportation has be- come the leading economic science of the age, and_is fast solving many of the most Gificult problems in the acience of political economy. Through the improved facilities for transporta- tion the products of all portions of tho earth are being brought into more immediate exchange, and thus the wealth producing resources of al! countries are becoming the common inheri of mankind, This new aad constantly argumenting force is bringing into close competitive rela- tion the industrial soils aud climates.
