Your views nre Neught te be rolleotod In the following general princi ples t Yeu oxpectolllolonoy In the public servlcn. Ne liisu should lie appointed Ui ilace unless speclally iiunlllleil ler the duties el that place. Qualification la the first consideration, and. te this all ether cotislderatlena should yield. Yeu oxpeot oeonnmy In the appropriation and expenditure of public moneys ; and yet, you bolleNO that economy of admlnstratlen does net consist uocessirlly In a minimum of expenditure. A revenue ueiivculeiilly col lected which bears equally tiffin nil, nud hardly upon none, should be se expended that the commonwealth shall receive ene hundred cents worth of value for every dot larel expenditure. Our educational sy.tem aud our charitable nnd penal Institutions are te be Kotiereualy sustained. Our Industrial development Is te be aided by the Judicious expenditure et money. That Is wise econ omy which expend It with a view te the fit. ture as well as the present. The state nover dies; the state should never grew old , and, therefore, our foundations should be broadly and strongly laid, nnd our building upon them, no far as we progress, should hu solid aud enduring. Yeu exjuct ordinary honesty and ordinary prudence te In) cxorcied In the conduct of your business. That which la dishonest in the confidential agent et an individual, or Imprudent lu the carelul business man, Is dishonest aud Imprudent 111 a public elllclal In a word, the sunn rules as te Integrity and prudenui which apply In the ordinary bust iiess intercourse ut man with man, apply tn the relation which public elllctala I war te you. Yeu aspect that the las will be Impar tially administered. The weakest are te be carefully guarded lu the enjoy tuenta et their rights, btcsuse they are weak, and the strongest are te be preserved from prejudlae because they are strong. Persons, nstural and artificial, are te be held alike nmonable te law, and neither class I. te ha favored or prejudiced at the expense of tbe ethor. A CHK)rallen sheul I nvolve Justus much con sideration as would be accorded tells hum blest stockholder, and the peer eat cllizeu of the commonwealth should receive the satne protection as thu most imwerful corporation. Yeu win extct the administration tn be ene of ttie poepln, nnd net of a pirty. Kach citizen el tlie common wealth has a right te demand, at the hands of the administration, the a im consideration as is accorded te every ether. Kmpbasls Is, therefore, laid uen the fact, that although elected by a party, tbe executive Is the servant of the people, and every citizen of thecommenwoaltli, no matter wlist his views as te questions of public xiliny have been and am, hsseqml right te his time, attention nud nor vice. Hi KSTIO.MH TO UT. MKt. Questions of popular lutercst nnd public trnportance have been passed upon by the people, through their sutlrages nt the elec tion, which tesulted in the choleo of the present executive etlleera et tbe common wealth. Thore Is no dt9Ksltlen te ovade the responsibility winch has thus beeu entalled. The majority or the poeplo of the common cemmon commen wtalth demand tin) right te pass upon the q K'stlen of the prohibition of the niauufao niauufae niauufao tere and .ale et intoxicating drinks, within IU limit, by constitutional enactment. This Is neither a question of morals, solely, nor of partisan politics i nor is It believed that the peeple div Ide U)ion it by the ordi nary llns of (Mimical thought aud notion. It Is, therefore, due te thorn that the question should be submitted lalrly, fully, Irnnkly, and In such a way, and at such" a line, as win ouauie lliem te vem ineir indi vidual seutlmenta upon IL In the ordinary course of events, such submission cannot take ptai) umil three months from and alter the passage et a Joint resolution ceveilngthe subject, by the legislature which shall axsom axsem axsom bie lu January, I svi It Is believed that the pledge nud premise en this subject, which undoubtedly secured tbe votes et uianycill zsua, will be most lalrly met, and most fully carried out by the submlsaleu of such an auienilnuiit te the ivinutltutleii, at n special election, when no ether question will on en gross publn thought, and when each citizen may v ite bis huulliueuts upon that psrtleulsr Kut.ieet Itheut refereuce te or Interference from any ethor. Tim general Interests of labor have a large place lu punlie thought, nud are receiving inin.li of public attention. The term "labor," thus used, is restricted te the employed ela-sps which labor with their hands. It may be that all of the demands of labor, se called, are net wise. It may be that aemu of Its de mands should net be cenceded. It must be true, however, that, with discontent se wide spread nnd demand se general, thore nre wrongs tn be righted and romedlea te be a p p plleil which shall, or ought te, llghten the lead nnd ease the burdens which labor has te carry. The labor market is overstocked. The supply Is greater than the deiuaud. T be Inovitabie censequence is want of opportu nity te work, for men w he nre able aud will ing te work, luadpiiuate compensation te these who de the work ; nnd uudue compe tition among tlioee who nre socking for employment. In the present con dition of the Industrial development of our country, the remedy ler this state of ntlalra Is te be found largely in the dlvoraitl dlveraitl dlvoraitl citlenofour Industries. This, under our form of government, Is n quostieu with which the general government, through Its legislative and executive brancbe, must al most oxcluslvely deal.,Thls la net the tltne nor Is this the place, for n general discussion et this question se far as it relates te the jiellcy t te pursued by the general goverumeut. Iiut thore are seme questions coming exclu sively within state control which demand attention, and te which scarcely mere thm au allusion can at present be made. Although the diversification of our Industries depends largely upon national legislation relating te the duties upon Imporled articles manufactured nbreal, aud tliu establishment nnd mainten ance of a . mimtirchl marine, oemethlug may, doubtless, Im done by us in this direc tion which will net only open up new avo ave avo nues el employment, but which will elovate the whole toue aud staudard of lnber. We have passed tbe point nt which our industries ure contlued te tiieir rudimeut.try forms. We net only minister te the absolute wants et our pcople by our Industries, but we also contribute te their oujeymout nud te the cul tivation of thelr taste thereby. It becuiiies us, ttiereiere, te provide iiberany tortlinedii tertlinedii tortlinedii eiliou id (tir industrial classes lu all the branches et Industrial art, and of art us tip piled te ludustry which tends te multiply the a emus el employment and te lucrea.u the rev. arils et labor. I.V1IOU ami wnri ai tev Laber is entitled toeducitien, totherlghltu organize for mutual Improvement and prolec tleu, te an equal voice in llx'ng the wae rate, nnd the settlement of ether questinns In which it has a vital Interest, te Impartial ar bitration when Irreconcilable dltlerences be. tween it nud ita employer arise, nud te such legislation as will euible it te secure, If eco nomical nud frugal, a homestead which shall be preserved te It lnvlolable. Onnjrtuntiv ler h morn extonded discussion of these rights et labor may ener lu the future, In a communication te the legislature, touching the Importance nnd necessity of legislation In regard te a mie of them, aud remark upon them is thcrerore limited te thelr mere enu enu enu inoratieii, The question of the rolerin and enlarge enlarge ment nl oureducatlenal system is one which should be brought te the nttontlen of the people of the entire common wealth, with u vlew of securing oxtendod dUcusslen aud in telligent criticism. It Is here Introduced, be cause of Ita Importance, nt groater length than would be, otherwise, desirable or proper The time was when n system of popular edu cation, under the direction of the common wealth, was oppesod and bitterly assailed, aud its introduction Impeded bv the masses of our people. The tlme is new when tbe de mand of the peeple Is In favor of an enlarged educational system, Improved educational methods and inore thoroughly competent In struction. Within BBbert.tlme, en thestreolset our principal city, a great precession of Its In telligent laboring population, numbering SO, 000 or mere, bere upon hundreds of transpar encies u demand among ethor things for "ed ucation;" and this in a city which leads nil ether localities in the oauiuieuwoalth In the i uVlouey of Us school system, lu the liber silly with which that system is nmiataleed, and lu the variety which Is introduced Inte IL The main fatiltet our present system 1 that It lends directly and Inevltably te that which Is abstract nnd away from that which Ii practical. It deals In words and signs, and net with facts slid IhliiRS. The graduate of our average high school, as nil oxperlenco prtiTes. Is educausl away from what are called industrial pursuits, and Inte a Illness for theso employments which Involve only a mental training, lu short, the head Is de voleped at the expense of the hand, and we are oempollnd te rely upon the skilled labor of ether countries In till the most lucrative nnd Important )nltlens which our Industrial establishments eiler. The value of mero In In In tolleetual training Is net underestimated nor la Its ltitorlnrien overlooked. Hut years of Rito Rite Rito cessful experiment In Amer lea have demon strated beyond question that mind and hand can be developed together us quickly, as fully, and with much better re suits than can the mind alene. Thore Is no reavin why. Industrial manual training cannot be engrafted upon our present reboot system with llttle of expense, with little If any change In the machinery et school management, with mi change lu our general system of laws rotating thoreto, and with Infinite advstitnge te our Industrial dovelop develop dovelep mont and te our common went. Hmall beginnings have already been made In this direction In some of our larger cities. Huch training should bccouie universal wherever asullleent number or our children nnd youth are gathered in our schools te Insure a proper uradlng for the purposes el Instruction. Pennsylvania, with a school system nocend te that of no ether state in the union, should net bs behind in the Introduction et this sys eom of training tbe hand as well as the mind, whleh Is demanded by lusny oxerlonced educators, and which Is already belug Intro dm. oil by sorne of our sister states with satla satla factery results. Tbe system here referred te, strangn as It may teem, was Qrst Introduced. In Russia, and Us principles brought te the notice or the great mass of our educators In America nt tee eetiteutilal exhibition of lb'tl, It deals with the general training of the eye nud hand, and does net under take te tit theiii for nny specltle trade or vocation. It linpirls n knowledge of the principles of drawing and con struction, but does net undertake te put theso principles Inte active operation for in inodlale practical purposea. The application of these principles te a specltle object is hot ter reached through thu medium of trade schools, which, although Important nnd use ful In themselves, could scarcely be gener ally maintained In connection with our com mon school system , and which, if founded, should be established with roferenco te the wants of particular localities, by locating en terprise, or private charity. This whole question Is one ul bread significance, and of tee utmost Importance te our present wel fare and future dovelepmenL It would be well If It could he ancorded intelligent and extended iIKmissIeii lu the publle press el tbe state. m tuts et iTizEssmr. The training of the citizen, ler the ordinary duties of clt'zenslilp, would seem te be n matter el such supreme mement, In a popu pepu lar government, that It is difficult te account for tbe fact that Instruction, upon this sub Ject, has never yetfeund a place In thncourse of study In our common schools. The snl snl snl once of civics, as it is new called, Is receiv ing earnest and intelligent attention nnd dis cussion at the bands of our educators and In tnlllgenL puiillcsplritel cltlzsns generally. This science, which deals with the duties of the cltiz u tu the state, and with the princi ples of the government w hlch underlie these duties should lie taught, ut least, In Its olo elo ole mentnry prluclples. tn all our schools. The constant! n of the I'nlted States, the consti tution of our comuienwoaltb, and the lawn which Iwar upon the rights and duties of citizens ns constituent parts of the body po litic, can as readily be taught, with as much of success and practical results as arithme tic or any abstract i-ciencc, or the mero prao prae tlcal study of geography. There Is no reason for teaching the physical outlines and fet turns of our country, and leaving the princi ples Umu whu Ii our government Is founded, and In the ex'i.lse of whleh it must lie per petuated, uutaugliL It would seem that the state, In founding n system of education, would provlde, UrsL for the teaching of theso principles upon which the state Is btsed, and which must govern the Invldual cltlzsn In the discharge of his duties as such. The causes, which have led e the development of such an abnormal svstmn el education, are easily found nud understood by these who glve intelligent thought te the subject. We de net deal with the causes. Here nre the facts. Whit shall be dene with them? Theeare practl. al questions which appeal te all our people and i hatlenge the careful thought und b3st efforts of our wisest legis lators. IifSTITfin c HH.DKEt.. Closely allied te the education of our young, ure the earn nnd training of tbe des titute children of the state. Wisely forbid, den it place In our almshouses, no adequate prevision haa been made ler thelr ordinary caroMidfer fitting them for usefulness lu lilts. We cannot aflerd te found In this coun try an nrlstecracy el pauperism. The sUte must, In sell-dofcnse, take the young who are deprlved of natural guanllans and theso of unnatural parents who fall te provide for thelr eir spring, and train thorn for Indepen dent support and usefulness. This Is net a question which nppeals te philanthrephy alene. Prudent forethought and wiae econ omy will expend money and etlert In direct ing the yeiuhlul mtud, and the pliant ener gles of child heed, into proper channels; and the result will be bell-respecting, Intelligent and self supporting mauhoed aud woman hood. Unity be that some legislation en this subject Is needed. Just hew the ques tleu Is te be met, Is net bere dlscussed. The fact Is stated, In order that the thought of the poeplo may be turned toward the subject, nnd Its discussion lead te practical results. In Bueh u discussion, howevor, would it net be well te lead the publle mind away from grest Institutions, with thelr cumtiersome management and labar-siving machinery, te such a simple aud Inexpensive organization ns will approach the home, aud will exact from the Inmates the ii Ischarge of the ordl erdl narj every-tiay duties which are performed by ttie children In the average homes of our people ; or, better, te hearty oe-operatlon in such organizations as seek out the destitute and provide real hemes In families where they will l) reared ami odue.ited for future list fulness? What or our children and jeuth who, through the neglect or avarice of unnatural parents, or thelr own waywardness, fall te txke advantage et the facilities for educa tional training which are offered them in every school district of the commonwealth? The state cannot atleril te allow her children te crew up In Ignorance or Idleness, or both. Slf preservation again asserts ltsell nud In slsts that every child, born and reared with in the limits et the commonwealth, must be trained ter uselulnes", and for bearing its lull share of the burdens, and discharging Its full share et the duties of citizenship. Hew shall this be dene ? Is compulsory edit catien teaslb'e ' If se, under what ceudl liens unit limitations? riiu question is merely stated. The peeple must deal with It and instruct thelr representatives in regard te It What of the neglected class, already beyond the limits of childhood, which has I illyn into the commission of mUdomeaner nud crlme ? Reformation, net punishment ler the mero eake of punishment, Is the true interest et the state. Our Heuse of Kofuge nnd reform ftchoel provide, tu a moasure, for the very young. Vbat shall we de with that large class, a llttle elder, who are te be saved ler the state nnd the future, nnd ler Useful ness nnd happiness? A reformatory, a place ter training, u place for educating them out of themselves aud Inte something better nnd nobler. Is being prepared. Hew shall It be organized ? Lit publle thought and publle discussion turn te this quostlen, and in the light of what has been accomplished else where, let l'eunsylvatiln take her stand In the front rank of roferta en this suhject. llhVKM'U .WD IAXATI0N, Ne Hiibject mero directly or doeply in in in lorests the poeplo generally than the revenue or rather the uyntem of taxatieu by which and under whiob,eur roventto is raised. That grave Ininualltlia exist ran net ln .IiuiIf.I That revenue commissions and ordinary leg islatleu have hitherto failed te remedy "these Inequalities, Is likewise true. Our Inst rev enue law and the decisions of the courts thereunder seem only te magnify theso In equalities, nud te Increase the burdens of that class of tbe community which has, here, tofero, with some Justice, complntned of the lead which It was requtred te carry. What ever the Intention el the lw, imposing stnte tax upon mortgage, may have been, the practical ollectef it.asat pro-sentaduilulaterod, is te rellev ecorimratlena holding theso mort mert muts from taxation entluly, aaiA te Im- pese whntover of rovenuo Is ralsed from that source, te a great extent at leaal, upon the mortgagers, thus enUUIng additional bur bur dena upon our agricultural Interests and tbe holders of modest homesteads. The burden et local taxation ler county, school, peer and read purKses Jails almost entirely upon roalestato. The farmer with his farm, and the mechanic, with his home, already bear ing as they belhve, mero than thelr lull share of the burdens or taxation, are, If com cem com pelled te borrow money upon mortgage, ro re ro quleod te pay, in addition le the ordinary rate of Interest, the state tax levied thereon. The resull Is that the mero unfortunate our small landholder may be, the nore heavy are the burdens of taxation which oppress lilm. We have endeavored te encourage manufactures by exempting the stock of manufacturing corporations from taxation. In erder te prevent money seeking invest ment In ether states, we have endoaverod te lighten the burden or taxation utien It. lint in boware lest, by unduly taxing the &rcat middle class which Is the pride and east of Pennsylvania, we drive from us a poeplo who are tnnre te us than mauurac lures or money. May 11 net be true that, by an unequal aystem of taxation, and by fall lug te provide, by law, adequate exemption el the homestead, we are driving from us a large class et valuable citizens who soek a home where oxeuiptlon from taxation, and liberal hemestead laws, protect them and provlde for Increased comfort? In cases where the money leude rutys the taxes re quired te be paid undoieur latest revenue law, Is It net true, In jractlce, thatthocor thatthecor thatthocer imratlou lending mono upon mortgage I entirely exempted freir Its payment, and the peer widow and orphan, whose ontlre In coma may be derived lien the Interest oil a modest investment, Is nnile te pay the full amount el tax a prevlied bv the law? If se, this ought net se te be. Uur whele rev rev rov onuo system is built ut of disjointed and fragmentary previsions of law, Under the Impulse or a supposed hequallty In ene di rection, we have rushed e an extreme in the ethor and he croated gmter Ills than theso from which we fled.

WHAT SIIALt, DC DOSE NEXT SUMMER? All tobacco men knew what a furere was ralsed a few years age regarding the cultiva tion of Havana soed tobacco lu this county. Packers were unanimously favorable te it, and the newspapera boomed It along for all it was worth, if net mere. Farmers planted It largely aud sold It oil at high prices llke het cakes, while thelr feed leaf was neglocted or sold for a song. The farmers, however, were net long In discovering that though the prices received for Havana were high, the weight par acre was se light that the value of the orep tl id net equal what they used te get ler seed leaf. Daalers aud mauulacturers also beured en It; declared It whs full cf white vein, dead leaf aud ethor delect', did net cure well, nud could net b9 handled with advantage. Many psople supposed theso complaints te be ene of the tricks el the trade, lesorted te for the purpoie el keeping down the price of tobacco fce that they could buy It at low figures. However that may be, many mantiraoturera turned their attention te Sumatra tobacco, and the dealers just new are busy buying all the old seed leaf they can and neglecting the new Havana. It behooves the farmer, therefore, whlle walling for customers, le put en his thinking capandconsider what sort of seed he shall put in his seed-bed when spring comes en, and what sort of plants be shall ast out lu the early summer. A very prominent packer ei leaf tobacco ana extensive manufacturer et cigars In a conversation with the writer, gave It as his opinion that the best Amorlean cigar that cau be made Is one having a Pennsylvania seed leaf tiller, a Wisconsin Havana binder and a Pennsylvania seed leaf wrapper. He said the Pennsylvania will net inake se showy n cigar ns the Sumatra, but It will have a llner flavor. He thought Pennsylva nia farmera would tlnd it te thelr advantage te grew eecd leaf tobacco Instead of Havana ; they can grew a much heavler crop per acre, and he believed that no matter hew much was grown the supply would net meet the demand for soverat years te ceme. He said that Wisconsin would be Pennsylvania' greatest competitor ; flrnt, because of her cheaper lands, and second, bociuse of the ad mlrnble quality of her tobacco for binder purposes ; but he reiterated the statement that the best cigar leaf In America is that grown In Pennsylvania. We give hla state ter "what it Is worth," merely adding that many local dealers, who warmly favored the planting of Havana teed a year or two age, new favor tbe planting of seed leaf.

Shortly after eight o'clock the line was formed and the march te the Pennsylvania railroad station was taken up. The line pro pre Rented a rather funny appearance. The men In front looked well, although there were many high hats that had seen hotter days. The rear of the line was curious. Thore were hats of all kinds aud shapes and over coats of overy color. This part el the line reminded ene of the parade made by the " SI Perkins " band. The marchers soetned te be In charge of Captain Stauiler, BUI Beard and EJ. Fral ley. Jack Copland was kept very buy Beclng that every man was furnished with a cane, eveu If be did net have the nec essary make-up. At the station there was quite n number et persons, and hore the dis play of high hats was even funnier than in the parade. Among the number was the Examiner whlte-halred boy, who wa. kept very busy. He wero a bat that closely re Bumbled a donor pet, and be was required te walk very tleady se that It would net be shaken from his head. Besides this trouble, be was obliged te carry a flag and leek alter a little child. The crowd Included mauy well known politicians, who ure candidates for ofllce at tbe next prltnnries.
