ity in selecting me as their Chief
Magistrate. In obedience to law I
have appeared before you to pledge
my fidelity to the _constitution. Its
obligations and the responsibilities
it imposes are, I hope, fully realized.
In the administration of public af
fairs it is. my earnest prayer that I
may be guided - by divine wisdom,
and that all my actions may reflect
the people's
Mypredecessor presented, in his
annual message; his recommenda
tions and much valuable information
so fully and so well that it appears
unnecessary to enter into details.
My views are - in accord with the gen
eral policy of the State administra
tion for the past few years, although
I believe, some changes might be fur
the public good, and to these I shall
briefly allude. Having been closely
connected with . the fiLIIIICeS of .the
State since 1866, I spe . aii knowingly
when I bay that the revenues hey°
been faithfully collected ; extrava
gant appropriations have been avoid
ed ; taxation has been equalized by
the repeal of the most burdensome
taxes ; and by strict economy and
good management the public debt
has been largely reduced. The poli
cy of paying off the entire indebted
ness of the State is, I believe, fully
endorsed by the taxpayers, and it
shall be my aim to adhere to that
policy. The public debt, however,
decreasing while the revenues are-in
creasing, it occurs to me that a
further reduction of the latter should
be made during the current session of
the Legislature. The increase in the
value of our real estate, and the pro
ducts of our mannfactories, the
steady development of , our resources
and the expansion of our railway
system, are rapidly enriching our
people. If we measure the aggre
gate of our wealth and its`, growth
upon the basis of the late census, we
can readily understand how's light
er tax imposed upon the present
taxed property will meet all oar ne
cessities an the future, provide an
ample fund for the liquidation of our
debt, and give a decided impulse to
the useful enterpriies thus relieved.
I sincerely trust; however, that in
any attempt to lessen the burdens of
taxation the Legislature will exer
cise a wise discretion andl properly
discriminate in favor of our indus
trial interests.
In every part of this Cothmon
wealth are found rich deposits Of
minerals. To make them available
and productive shenld be our earnest
aim, and, shall , receive a large - share
of my attention. It can alone be
done by the intelligent employment
of labor and This is an ob
ject of Immense, interest,,, and can
best be subserved by first providing
the hthest possible knowledge of
the es-erecter and location of the
most valuable minerals.. tabor can
be made inviting, by making it re
munerative.. Its profits - must- de
pend largely upon - the measure of
protection accorded .by Congress to
our honie industries, a question
which may safely be committed to
our Representatives in the National
.Legislature.
Capital is the water for the wheel
and should be abundant, and the
rates of interest should be easy for
active and , wholesome enterprise,and
whatever legislation will best serve
this end should receive general sup
port. Money will always seek the
highest rates, the security being the
same, and for that reason it now
gravitates to neighboring States,
where the legal rates are higher than
our own. If we cannot remove our
restrictions and make money as free
as any other community, at least, let
UR permit the same rate as allowed
by other States and thereby retain it
within oar borders.
It. will be my pleasure, as it is my
duty, to have a watchinl care over
the school system of our State. No
part of our governmental policy
should command 'the' employment of
more wisdom than that which is to
promote the instruction of our youth.
It is a source of pride and satisfac
tion that our people contribute so
freely Co an objf-ct so worthy as our
schoola, and the report of the Super
intendent of Common Schools must
convince every reader of the happy
results accruing from the judicious.
management of our educational sys
tern. But while the doors of our
schools are opened wide to every
one, it is sad - to think that there are
75,000 children in the State, who do
not, whether prevented by the ne
cessities_of their parents, or other
wise, attend and receive tho blessed
privileges of-these schools. This is
a matter of grave import, and exacts
of us all, people and Legislature
alike,- earnest and thoughtful consid
eration. -
In this connection, let me say a
word in regard to a subject that has
often engaged my ;thoughts, and to
which r invoke the attention of our
law makers. No part of our system
of education has secured so universal
commendation as that which is em
braced in the circle, of instruction of
those who were made orphans by the
casnalities of war. The helpless con
dition of these little ones touchingly
appealed to the hearts of our people,'
and the response was the establish
ment of the orphans' schools that are
now the pride of our State. But in
rescuing these children from destitu
tion, and providing for their educa
tion until they have attained the age
of sixteen years, have we filled the
measure of our duty to them?
Thrown out into the world to do
battle with life's trials at an age pe
culiarly dangerous to youth, does not
common humanity require that the
State should maintain its guardian
ship of these children until their
habits are somewhat- settled, and
they have acquired the ability to
earn the own livelihood ? The es-_

seems to promise the easiest and best
solution of this problem. tMiNtlll
It is highly importlint that in
times of insurrection and riot there
should be at command a good arid
efficient force of militia to - assisithe
civil power, to protect property and
maintain its authority. To create
such til,force it seems absolutely nec
essary that the State must estentits
aid in 1 more substantial Way to
those who enlist in her service. The
fires kir the tOn performance of mi
litia dritv are obnoxious to many. of
our best citizens, and yield at best
but a slender revenue, and thii.t, tee,
on a wrong basis, for property and
not the individual should be •' taxed.
The military should be well distrib
uted throughout the State, and
,the
number of companies limited, aid
within the limit, to make them of

found to be up to the proper stand
and of number, drill and discipline ,
should receive,directly from the pub

The lice and life insuranCts compa

uniform legislation in all the States,
and the States having a large home
interest in insurance, hays been the
first to adept that printiple. To ire
pose heavy fees and taxes upon in-•

nies, by reason of the reciprocal laws
of those States. If it is deemed de
sirable_ to loiter' and• protect the
homy insurance interest, already too
loiig neglected; let uniform laws be.
enacted. To me, it seems this inter
est is of sufficient importance to
warrant the temporary loss of a por
tioq of the revenue now received
from the ibreign companies. The
revenues from our awn companies
will increase by reason of their , en
larged business, and we will thus be
compensated for such temporary. •
The necessity for immediate action
on the.part of our people to inifire
the success of the Centennial exhibi
tion must be realized by every think
ing man. Its ,failure will be to our
lasting shame—its success must re
dound to the honor and permanent
benefit of the Commonwealth. Lo
cated in our metropolis, which is fast
moving to the front of the manufac
turing cities of the world, affording
an opportunity to display the pro
ducts and resources of our State, and
opening to foreigners, new channels
of information as to 'our character
and enterprises, it certainly is the
imperative duty of every citizen who
loves his State to lend Lis counte
nance-and support to this great exhi
bition. The dignity and good name
of the Commonwealth are at stake.
Let us not forfeit these by a lack of
public spirit, or by mistaken econo

ture may see fit to adopt to aid this
National undertaking shall receive
the hearty concurrence of the execu
tive.
The subject of constitutional °re
form is now occupying a large share
of public attention. Opinions are
various as to its propriety or necessi
ty as the views of men are conserva
tive or progressive. There is now,
however, in session in Philadalphia
a convention of respectable and hou
orable gentlemen, fresh from the
people and authorized by thim to
revise' the constitution. To • these
gentlemeir we confidently refer these
questions of constitutional reform in
the belief that out of their combined
integrity -and wisdom will spring
such measures as will best conduce
to our saiety, happiness and prosperi
ty
There fin one paramount and grow
ing evil, to which, by my oath as
your Executive, and my sense of duty
as a citizen, I arnuonstrained to ask
sour serious attention. I allude to
special legislation or the abuse of
legislative po Aer, to further particu
lar local and private ends to the ex
clusion ofpublic business. I cannot
condemn this evil in language too
strong, and it seems but the part of
common sense that some positife
re
striction be put upon legislation that
will confine it to public objects and
make its enactments uniform ftnd
general.
There is another subject to which
I may be'. pqrraitte& td advert, be
cause it concerns one ot my most iii.
portant functions. I refer to the
pardoning power.i, The exercise of
this power rests exclusively, within
the discretion and conscience of the
Exscative; and when we consider the
importunities of the friends of a con
demned man, and their natural -in
clination to .use every influence, to
obtain a paidon, it must be conceded
that this power is a trying and dan
gerous one with which to invest -any
individnaL Any provision that would
relieve the conscience and divide the
responsibility of the, exercise of this
power, must surely commend ; itself
to the good sense of our people.
There is a • popular demand, too,.
that, the Sinking Fund, contaioing
bond; that represent - the proceeds of
ihe'sale of the public works, and
which are applicatle alone to the
payment of the public debt, shall be
kept sacred to the purpose to which
it was dedicated, and that the safe
guards of this fund shall be made so
strong as to protect it from every en
croachment, however ingeniously
planned or powerfully suppurtecl.
To this demand the Constitutional
convention will doubtless respond.
and for myself, I may be permitted
to say, that no legislation impairing
the security of this fund, or changing
its character; can. ever receive my
sanction.
In view of the prospect that the
Legislature will, after this session,
be divested of its power to legislate
for special objects, a popular appre
hension is prevailing that interested
parties will push their schemes' at
this juncture and make extraordina
•ry efforts to control legislation, ' I
deem it my duty to impress upon the

"THE BREVITY 01 LIFE.'
To the ioting it- does not seem
short; it seems very long. To the
boy of fourteen the man of forty
seems a long way off; and he of sixty
removed by an age almost illimitable.
But as time passes on, the aspect of
life changes. The man of forty thinks
forty not nearly as old as he thought
it when he was fourteen ; fifty years
appears to him but the prime of life;
sixty, far from aged.' When at length,
increasing years adnionisli him that
his life-work is ended, and that he
can enter no new undertakings, and
when he looks back to reflect upon
what he has accomplished, he won
ders to see it No little,, and is amazed
to find the road se short in traveling
which appeared so long in prospect.
He then understands, as be never
did before; the meaning of the Scrip
ture simile. "Yes," he says to him
self, "it is indeed true, Life is as a
tale that is told, and as a dream
when one awaketh." 'A moment's
careful reflection will suffice hoWever,
to convince tLe thoughtful that the
old man's estimate is right, and the
young man's wrong. The time is
short, very short, 'in which to achieve
anything for God,, for humanity, or
for ourselves. The average length
of human life is stated' to be thirty
three years. This average, however,
includes an estimate of alt those who
die in infancy. The statement of the
average life pf a healthy man may be
- enlarged somewhat. But it is per
lectly safe to say that it is not over
fifty;years. Some' live on to three-
Score yeari or : even to ' three-score
- and ten, but more never reach the
half century. Of this fifty years, the
first twenty are taken in learning
how"to live. Something the young
can -accomplish ; ,but youth' is the
time for receiving, not imparting—
for preparing to achieve, not for
achievement. Thirty years may be
fairly accepted as the average limit
of the working life. But no man
works the full twenty-four hours.
Rest, recreation, food, sleep, Sabbath
and the enforced idlenesit which oc
casional illness compels, 'reduce the
period two-thirds. Eight hours a
day are as many as the brainor mus
cle can ordinarily Stand. Some work
more, but few to the best advantage.
Year in and year out, eight hours
may be taken to represent i the work
ing dap The working life,__then, is
not thirty years, it is but ten. And
of these ten years, bow muela is neces
sarily absorbed by the drudgery - of
toil, by the gathering of grain that
_dies in the harvesting; and, is never
*entered into store honses? Hovi

on and worn out, in getting food to
be consumed in use, in building
houseslo crumble-and fall into decay
almost as soon as their:. owners ?
How much too, of this time is lost in
plans that come to naughtlii sowing
that never ripens, in fighting battles
that are defeats ? When we have ta
ken from our life What timis neces

is absorbed in failure and in transient
success, the fragment that is left is
very small—, , two; three or, five years

THE WORE OF DESTRUCTION.
Woman, theta, are some things .
that you cap do, and this is one :
you can make 'drinking unpopular
and disgraceful among. the young.
You can utterly discountenance, all
drinking in your own house, and you
can hold in suspicion every young
man-. who touches the cup. , You
know that' no yoting man who:drinks
can safely be trusted with the bappi, .
itiSs of any woman, and thattlie is as
unfit as a' youno. t' man can be kir wo
man's society. Have this understood:
that every young man _who; drinks is '
socially 'proscribed. Bring up your
children to regard drinking as not
only dangerOnS I but disg,raceful.
Place temptation in no man's way.
If men will make beasts of them;
selveSi, let them do it in other society
:than yours. If your mercenary hus
banfis treat. their customers from pri- 4
vate stores kept in their countingg
rooms, shame them into decency by
.your regard for the honor of your
home. lienognizo the living, terri-
ble fact that winb has always been,
and is to-day, the curse of your se ;
that it stadia the hearts of men away
from you, that it dries np your pros
perity.that it endangers your safety,
thiit it only-can bring,_ you evil. If
social custom compels youto present
wine at your feast, rebel against it;
and make a social custom in the itc
tenet of v*ttie and purity. The
matter is very much in your own
hands. The women Of the cqrntry,
