It the republican senators imagine that
they can cheat tbe incomloK adrr.lnistra
ion out of its just rights in the matter of
appointments to office they will most
ikely find themselves mistaken. They
m the last people in the world who
ought to complain if the democratic sena
tors should refuse to confirm the noralna
ions mado by Governor Beaver on the
Y of his retirement from cilice. Have
they forgotten that in Jannary, 1887,
when Governor I'aUison was about to
jive way to Governor Beaver, tbe repub
lican senators refused to confirm Govern
.lr.Pattison's appointments mado durirg
he recess of the senate ? Are their mem
ories so short that notwithstanding the
appeal mado by fcenator Watres ( now
lieutenant governor-elect) to his fellow
republican senators to confirm Govornor
Pattiaon's nomination of Lemuel Ammcr
man as supreme court reporter, the re
publican senators rejected the nomina
tion on partisan ground, pure and sim
ple t Tho office to which Mr. Ammer
man had been nominated is of a non-political
character and no personal objection
could be raised against the nomination,
nevertheless it fell, a sacrifice to the par
tisanship of tbe republican senators. Oth
er appointments made by Governor Patli
MMa daring tbe recess of the senate were
summarily rejected by the republicans of
49 senate.
A senator who is nothing if not a re
publican partisan has characterized the
course of tbe democratic senators in ask
ing that the nominations sent in by Gov
ernor Beayer be laid over at "peanut
politics." Fray, what tort of politics,
Mr. Benator, was that which the repre
sentatives of your party indulged in when
ilk 1887 they rejected Governor Pattiaon's
races appointments ? If it be "peanut
politic!" on the part of the democratic
senators to use their power to prevent .the
outgoing administraiion from handicap
. ping Governor Pattison with appoint
aaants not in accord with his policy and
inimical to bis ideas of good government,
was it not precisely the same th'ng on
the part of the republican senators in 1887
when they prevented tbe confirmation of
Governor Pattiaon's nominations for a
similar purpose and like, reasons? But
the protection by tbe senate of an incom
iag administration from tbe intrusion of
a large number of hostile office holders
upon it by an outgoing administration, is
not "peanut politics," the opinion of the
sapient senator to tbe contrary notwltb
standing. It is politics of the wisest and
highest sort. The incoming governor
will be responsible to the people for the
execution of tho laws and the constitu
lion never intended that he should be
hampered and obstructed in his adminis
tration of the affairs ot state by subordi
nate officials hostile to bis views and pur
poses. On tbe contrary, the spirit and
Intent of the fundamental law plainly
favor tbe selection by the governor of bis
subordinate officer, subject only to tbe
approval of thttr fitness by the senate.
Tbe democratic senators will do well
to maintain their position. They have
not only right ami justice and common
sense ou their side, but tbey can rei
their case upon the precedent set by tin
republican senators la January, 18S7.

Gentlemen ot the senate and house of rep
resentatives and fellow-citizens:
Chosen by the people to undertake, for a
second time, the duties of the chief exec
utive of tbe commonwealth, I make use ol
this occasion which custom has established
to declare to what end I "shall take care
that the laws be faithfully executed." A
deep sense of responsibility attends the
assumption of this obligation. At such
an hour it is meet to look to him from
whom comelh every Rood and perfect gift,
and, with devout thanksgiving for the
blessings bestowed, to seek for a continu
ance of bis favor.
Four especially important problems con
front us: First, constitutional enforce
ment; second, the purification of elections,
involving ballot reform, personal registra
tion and the prevention of the misuse of
money In politics; third, taxation; fourth,
municipal government.
Constitutional Knfnrretnent.
The present executive will eealottsly
strive to maintain the constitution and
the laws. Our constitution as approved
by the people is In many respects a model
of organic law. It breathes the essential
spirit of popular government through all
its members, lly It the general welfare Is
sought to be promoted. In it there is no
hostility to any interest, individual or cor
porate. It was drafted by a convention
controlled by as noble ami choice charac
ters as ever adorned our state. Many oi
its important provisions are, however, un
enforced, notably article 17. That article
commands nothing but what is right and
forbids nothing but what is wrong. It
simply provides that corporations shall
treat all persons fairly, impartially and
justly. It prohibits unfair discrimination
against persons or places. It forbids ex
tortion. It seeks to prevent monopolies
and to compel the creatures of the law,
who owe their life to the people, to be law
obodieut. It commands that they shall
not use their granted powers to harass
and oppress. It also specifically directs
the legislature to enforce its provisions by
appropriate legislation. Surely nn ear
nest effort should be made to give adequate
effect to so wise and just a part of the
fundamental law. hvery power of the ex
ecutive shall be exercised to enforce the
constitution ot tbe stale in every article
and section.
When the modern state, in the exercise
of its sovereign power, created that ex
traordinary reality called, in the irony of
tho law, an artificial person, it produced a
being almost omnipotent for good and lor
evil. To deny the great benefits conferred
upon society by corporate capital would
be as futile us it would be foolish, lint
these should not blind us to the perils con
nected therewith in a democratic com
munity. Many a modern charter enables
inglo man to wield powers greater than
were ever wielded by a metliipval king,
and these powers, exercised under tho
broad seal of the state, may bo and have
been wielded notoriously to the injury ot
the state and Of her people. The state,
therefore, having created these -tillcial
persons and clothed them with enormous
powers, should protect herself and her
natural children against their abuse and
misuse. Before the state sanctions, cither
by judicial decision or legislative act, any
extension of these powers into others still
tnore colossal, it Is to be hoped that some
means may be found to place them under
and to prevent their becoming superior to
the commonwealth, the law aud the people.
Usllnt lleforin.
The constitution requires that all elec
tions shall be tree and equal, but such
elections are not secured by existing laws.
or Is our ballot secret. Fierce political
conflict between parties have given birth
here as elsewhere to many phasos ot cor
ruption, to the lavish use of money by rich
candidates, to fraudulent registration, to
Intimidation by corporation and by large
employers of labor, to false counting, and
to marked, altered and suppressed ballots.
These political contests have revealed the
existence of a purchasable element in our
midst evolving all forms of ballot debauch
ery.
1 he sovereignty of the people depends
for its efficiency upon the co-operate intel
ligence aud the incorrnptible integrity of
the sovereign. To make sure of tbe former
we have established our public schools; to
make sure of the latter we have adopted
the ballot box and have thrown around it
tbe protection ot peculiar laws. But the
abolition ot the viva voce vote and tbe
adoption of the ballot have proved to be
only a step toward pure elections. Now,
at the ballot box tbe equality ot all the
citizens must be sacredly protected; the
freeman's franchise must be preserved.
But when law abiding voters are confront
ed at the polls with tbe corrupt hirelings
of leaders who scorn the law tbey are de
graded to an equality lusultintf and dan
gerous. For the purchaser ot votes is a
repeater by proxy; to him the commercial
and Industrial interests ot millions are ol
far less moment than his bold ot cower.
Hence bis gangs of organized ignorance
and purchased vice; hence his sneers at the
decalogue in politics, his defiance of the
Iuw, his bold attempt to thwart the popu
lar intelligence and to defeat the popular
will. He is the most insidious foe to our
institutions, for he aims at the overthrow
of virtue, liberty and independence. Every
dollar used to dufeat the unbought will ol
the people is an attack not only upon free
institutions, but upon every vested inter
est. When money shall be king at the
American polls, money will be kiutf ut
American capitols.
Not a Mere Local Agitation.
It is not mere local agitation that under
lies the present demand for a thorough re
vision of electoral methods. A great pop
ular movement for ha Hot reform bus set
in, and fifteen states of the Union huvo al
ready responded to it. All political partiei
in Pennsylvania have made opeu profes
sion in favor ot securing the most perfect
attainable expression ot the public will,
and the only questiou that we now deal
with concerns the most expeditious and
efficient method of its accomplishment.
The Australian ballot system is the best
agency yet devised for purifying elections.
It is neither an untested experiment nor a
questionableexpedient. Upward of eighty
five millions ot people conduct their eleo
tions by its machinery. It is not the
method of any one country or people, but
finds a borne wherever a free and accuraU
expression of conviction is desired.
Its caidinal features aret
First Compulsory secrecy of voting.
Second Uniform official ballot contain
ing the names ot all candidates printed
under state or municipal authority.
Third Ofliclul equality of nomlnatloui
when made either by a party couvention
or by a paper signed by a given number ol
voters.
Under this system all qualified votert
have equal facilities for voting, and all
candidates have equal facilities for re
ceiving votes.
Wherever tried, tb Australian ballot sys
tem has completely changed tbe aspect ol
.the elections. It secures the tranquillity,
purity and freedom of choice, and there Is
abnndant testimony that It Is the best, the
most rapid and facile mode of obtaining
the uublnsed wish and mind of the Voters.
The Australian system has produced
effects far wider than the mere achieve
ment of a single reform. When oppor
tunity is given to put honest and capable
men in public office and keep them there,
then is the standard of public service
elevated and made worthy the honorable
ambition of our best men. Ballot reform
offers not. only free and pure elections, but
free nominations. It offers a method of
nomination that is open to all, and frees
us unmistakably from the rule of political
bosses. I will heartily favor any well
considered legislation which will secure
these or any portion of these results.
A Constitutional Convention.
But it is manifest that the deep reaching
and effective ballot reform for which the
popular mind in Pennsylvania has been
fully prepared by recent discussion must
go beyond the present restrictions of the
constitution. The complete advantages
of what has so widely approved itself as
the Australian system cuunot be realised
while the ballot numbering provision re
mains In the constitution. That provision
requires each ballot to bo numbered for
identification. It is expressly designed for
an exposure, In certain contingencies, of
the contents of the ballot, while the Aus
tralian system is expressly designed to
prevent such exposure In any contingency.
The dependent voter will never feel the
security to which he is entitled, and which
the general welfare requires he should
have, while the danger of exposure, even
by judicial inquiry, hangs over his head.
Hut the numbering produces other and
far greater evils. It is dime by the election
officer, who therefore must handle tho
ballots aud drop them into the box. When,
again, tbe ballots are counted a reference
to corresponding numbers ou the list of
voters reveals to the election officer bow
any and every citizen has voted. The oath
of secrecy lias been found of littlu avail.
It is systematically violated. The indus
trial and political boss almost invariably
secures the information ho desires concern
ing the ballot of bis victim. It is for this
reason, because of their long nnd disas
trous experience under the numbering
system, that, the people demand its aboli
tion and the restoration to them of their
lost right to a free and unintimiduted vote.
The reiLsou for the existing constitutional
provision has in great measure censed.
Corruption and brutal coercion have taken
the place of ballot box stuffing in our
elections. To reform the abuses In ques
tion a constitutional convention is neces
sary. There is no reason why such a con
vention should not be assembled lit an
early day, its deliberations completed aud
the results submitted to the people and
approved or rejected within tho preseut
year.
Pernnnnl Heglstratlnn.
Additional warrant and necessity for
this are to be found in the demand for a
system of compulsory personal registra
tion. Such a system cannot be secured
without an elimination from the constitu
tion of the provision that "No elector shall
be deprived of the privilege of voting by
reason of bis name not being registered."
Like the numbered ballot clause, this pro
vision was inserted to avoid an abuse
which no longer exists, while this pro
vision remains an obstruction to a reform
now urgently needed aud popularly de
manded. An act of assembly may estab
lish in Pennsylvania the official ballot,
the booth secluding the voter, aud the open
count, all ot which are important reforms;
but we caonot establish compulsory regis
tration or give to the people the one thing
which tbey most want aud are determined
to have a secret ballot save by a consti
tutional convention.
Taxation.
Of scarcely leas importance Is the equal
ization ot the burdens of taxation. For
many years there has been a well grounded
complaint against the Insufficiency, the
Inequality, the ineffectiveness and the par
tiality of the tax laws of the state.
Tbe burdens of the government should
be equally shared, or at least aa nearly so
as human laws can contrive, binee our '
legislative policy Is to tax property rather
than persous, there can be no possible ex
cuse for selecting the houses and farms ot
tbe people to bear ten times as much of
tbe public burdens as personal property.
If things and not parsons are to be taxed,
common equity would dictate that the ag
gregate ot a man's possessions, Irrespec
tive ot their kind, and simply according to
.their value, should beur the infliction.
What delinquency has real estate been
guilty ot that it should be thus unfairly
discriminated against? It is the most pro
ductive, the most needful and tbe most
stable form of property. It adda most to
our wealth, remains always with us, shel
ters and sustains our people and at ouce
attracts, and it justly treated, retains and
multiplies population. There is a baloful
vice in the form of government that in
flicts a penalty upon lunds and houses aud
makes their ownership difficult and bur
densome. The farmer and householder
has no right to any exemption from bis
fair share of tbe public expeuse, but be
has a right to just and impartial treat
ment that cannot be ignored except at a
cost ot social tranquillity. The Inequality
referred to is patent to every eye. There
is not a citizen in the commonwealth pay
ing a tax upon hie home or farm who cuu
not point to some neighbor owning many
times as much in personal goods and idle
capital who yet pay an immeasurably less
amouut ot tax. It is useless to answer
such undeniable faots by any intricate the
ory us to the ultimnte distribution of all
taxation. Such unjust discrimination is
working untold evil to our people; is op
pressing the poor; is exempting the rich;
is day by day establishing unfortunate so
cial distinctions that ure foreign to our
principles ot government, destructive of
the happiness and energies of men and
blasting the hopes that we have all prayer
fully entertained of our country becoming
the home of a contented and happy people.
The state tax on corporations fills all
tbe requirement ot a subject for taxation
for the support ot tho state government
that can be uniformly assessed upon estab
lished standards of valuation, and which
can be cheaply collected. The machinery
for its Assessment is simple and the cost
ot its collection is nominal. Corporate
wealth is purely a creation of tbe state,
and fitly bears the burden of its expenses;
but since this and the collateral inherit
ance tax together produce ample revenues
for the state expenses, I suggest that the
revenue law be so changed that tbe state
remit to the oouoties all other taxes and
. license charges now levied by it. Kvery
nictate ot public policy suggests that tax
; ation be reduced to the bare need ot the
government. By enforced economy tbe
taxpayer is protected, bis burdens are
lessened and thrift is promoted. A revenue
in excess ot the actual needs of the state
puts a premium on extravagance and
wastefulness In legislation.
Tli Hoveuua Commission.
With these present source of revenue.
now wholly or In part at the service of the
state, remitted to the counties, the problem
will still remain of so ascertaining and ad
justing the different subjects of taxation
that all classes of property will hear their
equal share. To this end a revenue com
mission, which has prosecuted it work
laboriously during the past year, has pre
sented diverse reports for the considera
tion of the people and their representa
tives. I will not anticipate the discus
sion which must attend an examiutinn
of the several bill and plans offered,
except to Invoke for the whole subject
thorough consideration nnd deliberate ac
tion, and to Indulge the hope that the out
come will be a measure which will ma
terially relieve landed property In the
commonwealth from the burdons which
have too long lain upon It.
The authority of the state in regulating
local taxation should not, however, ex
tend further than the constitutional re
quirement for the enactment of general
luws to secure uniformity upon the same
class of subject within the territorial
limit of the authority levying the tax.
A multiplicity of taxing officers is also
vexatious and wasteful. Tbe people de
mand the abolition of the office of mercan
tile appraiser. All mercantile taxes are
levied upon subjects purely ot local con
cern, aud ought to be applied, if applied
at all, for the benefit of the counties from
which they are derived. In advertising
mercantile taxes and In collecting delin
quent mercantile taxe the state ueudlossly
expend thousands of dollars.
The Government of Municipalities.
No corporations in the world are, aa a
rule, so helpless aa the municipal corpora
tions ot America. In Pennsylvania these
bodies have a few right guaranteed to
them in tbe fundamental law which the
legislature 1 bound to respect. Nearly
one-half of the people of Pennsylvania
live in cities. The tendency of our time
lias been toward the enlargement of the
power of municipalities In the manage
ment of such affairs ns are intrusted to
their administration. An effort ha been
made to regulate them by general laws to
the end that well defined principles of
government might pervade all our mu
nicipal charters. Ono great aim in thl
direction has been to ctiicentrate official
responsibility to the electors by vesting all
power in the chief executive of the muni
cipality. But in perfecting this theory
have we not measurably lost sight of the
accountability which the municipality
owes to tbe state? All powers vested in
the cities nud in municipal officers are
theoretically, nt least, delegations from
the whole people, and the stnto should
preserve its supervisory power by regular
methods to prevent possi ble abuses t hrotigh
undue concentration of power, patronage
and the mentis of corrupt influence.
I'lillailllila's New Charter.
The now charter of Philadelphia was
granted upon the express stipulation and
provision that the vast power conferred
upon its executive should be absolutely
free from political interference or control,
and that public officers should be trustees
for tbe whole peoplo, for the minority and
for each individual. And yet at the last
election the city employes were repeatedly
assessed, upon official approval, to pro
mote tbe success of the ruling party. Many
ot the powers of tbe municipality, notably
that ot the police, were used with virulence
against the right of the minority, which
the people of the entire state are bound to
protect. Would It not be wise to reserve
to the commonwealth the power to remove
an official whose abuse ot authority trans
gresses the rights ot the minority or of the
individual?
There ha been an utter disregard of en
actment prohibiting tbe removal of pnb
lic servant for political reasons, and tbe
Inaction ot the state, or, rather, it aban
donment of its servant to the personal
authority of party leaders, reduces inde
pendence to a dream, not for tbe public
servant only, but for the communities
which, in their turn, are overridden by
them. While patronage, a recent experi
ence ha shown, does not strengthen par
ties, it does strengthen party leaders of a
certain type; indeed, without patronage
men of that type could not become leaders
at all. The sreat defeat of oar munininul
organization In Pennsylvania, as else
where, Is the want ot permanence ot the
civil service.
Safety of Public. Fonda,
The Doonle demand that tha crmatait
protection D given for the safety of the
public fund. Tha places in which the
treasurer shall deposit the public moneys
should be designated by law. The discre
tion vested in the treasurer to select the
place of deposit is a dangerous one for
him and the state. It subjects him to per
sonal importunity, and admits ot favorit
ism and abuse. The fiuauclal manage
ment of the state should be based uiun
plain business principle, and there is no
reason wny tue pumtc moneys should not
be deposited iu such a manner as to afford
equal security and profit with like capital
oi luuiviuuais.
Apportionment.
The constitution commands that the
general assembly, "immediately afUtr
each United States decennial ceusus, shall
apportion trie state into senatorial and
representative districts."
The decennial census has b een taken
The constitutional period for action is at
hand. There will not be a more important
measure for the consideration ot the as
sembly than that of apportionment. It
touches government in its most vital parts.
Fair and just representation to all section
of the state in the general assembly and in
congress underlies the whole fabric of our
political system. It is the cornerstone ot
our government. Considerations of party,
of factions, of locality or of individuals
have uothiug to do with the subject of ap
portionment. This duty should be per
formed by the legislature upon uniform
end just principles. There should not be
one rule for one part ot the state aud a
differeut rule for another. The constitu
tion commands that the districts shall be
composed of "compact and contiguous ter
ritory." This rule should be observed
throughout the entire state. It 1 palpably
violated by tbe preseut apportionment.
Other Suggestion.
In tbe limited range of discussion which
such au oucasiou as the preseut imposes I
can merely refer to a number of important
matters. Among these I might Include
the necessity for an effective civil service
in the state appointments, the substitu
tion of salaries for fees, the inspection and
regulation of state aud private bunks, and
an extension of the power of the auditor
general so as to Include within his audit
all the state accounts, and tbe rigid en
forcement of the law referring to the in
vestment of the sinking fund money. The
mining codes should be revised iu such
manner as will insure the payment of
damages in case of injury or loss arising
from tbe neglect or par "uiony ot the mine
owner.
The task before us la far reaching, com
prising within it scope the whole field ot
material and political Improvement. In
administering the affair ot the common
wealth we must seek to enlarge the sources
of It strength, to expand its resources, to
increase its comfort aud to promote it
prosperity and greatness, so that the peo
ple, in harmonious progress and fulfilling
a peaceful destiny, may illustrate, In the
grandeur aud wisdom of their self control
aud in their majestic movement toward a
more perfect society, the power ot a pure
Democracy to solve every problem that
taxes the intelligence or strains the virtue
ot civilized humanity.
