murkyness of the polluted atmosphere of
the past, to thotrue dignity or manhood
and exalted patriotism, and purify the
election of Treasurer an well as that of

ever may be his position or pretensions.
-And then every one who shall have per
formed his whole duty to sustain the

EARLY APPROPRIATIONS.
For many years the general nppropria

the adjournment of the Legislature. and
I here repeat my suggestions oiliest year
on this subject. "The Governor has
been Ibroed either to alga the bills with•
out proper Investigation, notwithatand
log any obiections he may have t suspend
the means to defray the operstlonsof the
government for the ensuing year;; or.
call In extra session of the Legislature.
It is therefore earnestly desired that
the appropriation bill be taken up, die

period during the session to enable the
Governor to give it that tbojough exam;

There le, probably, no State in the
American Union that has contributed

more liberally toward the support of
'charitable and benevolent Institutions
than that of Pennsylvania. The appro

there Is ono other lostitntlon needed,
and the claims for which are more
strongly urged by every principle of ha•
inanity and patriotism than any other
now In existence, which has not yet re
ceived the attention its Importance
Imperatively demands. This Is
a home for the soldiers who have •'borne
the battle" in defence of the honor. in•

Union. No men living have as powerful
claims upon the geneTosity anti nurtur

field, iboght to protect it against threat
ened devastation and destruction, and
who in this patriotic service, endangered
their lives. sacrificed their health, lost
their limbs, and became enfeebled and
disabled for life. And yet we daily see
these men, (and who does not blush to
see them?) to whom we owe the preser
vation of our government, the homes we
enjoy and almost everything we possess,
hobbling about our streets on crutches,
with missing limbs, and otherwise so
enfeebled as to be entirely unfitted for
any remunerative employment, begging
their bread from door to door, or sitting
upon the corners of the streets turning
an organ for the few pennies the charita
ble passersby may feel disposed to be
stow.
Every one of these helpless men,
whose patriotic devotion to his, country ,I
has brought him to this deplorable con
dition, is a burning reproach to the
State for whose welfare he has met the
most serious and lamentable of all mis
fortunes. All of them appeal, by their
wounds and destitution, to the people of
the Commonwealth for that care which,
in such contingencies, was promised the
soldier of the Union, his widow, and his
orphan children. Ultima that all such
.promises shduid be redetmad. The I
wounded and helpless soldiers have a
claim upon the State which should not
and cannot be ignored. And Ido earn ;
estly recommend In their name, and in
their behalf, that measures be taken by
your honorable body, to establish for
them a bomh where they shall be amply

protection by law which their valuable
services,, at hest laborious and danger
one, unquestionably deserves, renders
our mining system worse than that of
any other country, whilst our mining
Intereits are unequalled by those of any
other part of the world.
The most appalling accidents on record
have been traced to unsafe methods of
ventilation, and more especially to the
employment of furnaces at or near the
bottom of the shafts. Where the funiace
Is need, and the smoke is carried through
a wooden chimney, it seems almost cer
tain that, sooner or later, by the inevita.
ble accumulation of soot or carbon upon
the frame work, it must Ignite from the
ascending sparks or from the beat of the
furnace, and a conflagration ensue. To
guard against this, it should be made ob
ligatory, If the ventilating furnace be
still allowed., to build the chimes's!, the
sides of the shaft, and the building. stir
rounding it at the top, with incombusti.
ble materials. But even this precaution
is not' a sure safeguard, for the fire is Its
hie, at env moment, to communicate'';
with the onto damp" or other gaseous
vapors, that, despite of all known means I
of prevention, will generate In the best I
regulated mines. The propriety of dila
perusing entirely, therefore, with the fur
mum, has received the serious considers-'
tion of scientiflo miners and eugineers,
and the fan, In many Instances, his been
substituted, which being worked by ma
chinery at the surface, produces a more I
constant current of air, dispenses It more I
freely through the gangways and cham
bers; and, in all respects, accomplishes
the object desired with better effect; and
when the shafts and surface buildings
are fireproof, without the possibility of
danger. This system of ventilation, with
advantages so palpably obviaus, will, no
doubt, be universally adopted.- Bat the
very nature of mining operations sue-
Jects them to other dangers. The walls
and rooting of the mines, from the effects
of blasting and other causes, frequently '
give way and all up the gangways so as
to render them Impassible, as in the more
recent' calamity at Stockton, which re
sulted in the death of ten persons. Bence
it is absolutely necessary, and should be
imperatively demanded, that every mine
should have more than a single avenue
of ingress and egress. Whether as re
gards fire, er any other source of danger
to which the. miner is exposed, this teas
surest promise of safety. Whatever aye.
tem of ventilation may be approved, or
safety lamp adopted, the Millis of escape
from the mines, when danger occurs,
will depend very materially upon .the
provision made for the silt of the miner.
The teat method otrairistructing, ven
tilating and working the mines, should
be onhesnatingly adopted; and the sys
tem adopted rigid/3 , enforced. The in
quiry. therefore, into the causes which
produced this shocking catastrophe—the
various theories that bays been promul
gated concerning it. the remedies for the
prevention of similar occurrences here
after, the construction and ventilation of
collieries, and the modes of conducting
, their operations no that th e operatives
I I may prosecute their labor without im
perilling their lives, are proper subjects
for legislative consideration.
' Such laws as you may enact can most
certainly be enforced by competent in
spectors in the mining districts, who
'timid be chosen with strict regard to
character, integrity, capability and act
entities knowledge; and whose duties
should be so specifically defined 'that
they cannot be mbundsi stood.
I, therefore, most respectfully and
earnestly recommend that this whole
*object receive the attention its-impor
tance demands, and that a law be passed,
so general in its enarocter and so strin
gent in its provisions, that the people of
this Commonwealth will never again be
appalled by a 'eternity, within her Limits,
so sad an that of Avondale.

In accordance with a law approved
April 18, 1887, Mahlon H. Dickinson
Esq., of Philadelphia, was appointed
"to visit, for philanthropic purposes, the
prisons and almahouses in the various
counties of the Commonwealth." His
second report, which is herewith Dm
rented, embosses a vast amormtof useful
Information, and will be found highly
interesting., and worthy of mature con
sideration. It will be seen that while
some of our county miaow have been
constructed and are being conducted
with strict regard to the proper objects
of punishment, others are utterly unfit
for any such purposes, and are a tilsgrace
and reproach to a civilised age and a
Christian people. Tho Commissioner, in
regard to some of these, describes them
.as being nnsaferwhere prisonem could
not be held unless loaded with chains,
where the sexes were not separated,
where there was no discipline, or any
effort made towards the moral or relig
ions Improvement of the Inmates; the
buildings totally unlit for the purposes
of a prison; and where the prisoners be
come schooled in vice, and eventually
graduated prepared fora life of lawless
ness." In some of the prisons the cells
are represented as contracted dungeons,
Into which not a ray of stnishine or a
draft of pure air can enter, and in which
a human being could not possibly live
through a lengthy term of sentence.
And in still others, In consequence of
the want of proper accommodations, all
classes of criminals, from the moat bar;
dened and aged to the youth of tender
years, are permitted to.ciongregate, and
Indulge In card playing, profanity, and
almost every species of Immorality and
crime. Under such circumstances, re•
formation which Is the grand object of
divine, and should be of all human laws
and punishments, Is rendered impend

are. or In such a manner as to endanger
j the health and life of the criminal, to
j deaden him to all tho better sensibilities
of his nature, and to absolutely harden
him to the commission of crime.
The commisakmers appointed "to in
quire into the various systems of
prison discipline, as practiced in
other States and countries, as compared
with what hi known -as: the Penruryl
yenta syntem, , will submit you their ree•
port at an early day, from which you will
learn that the capacity of our peniten•
Series is at present competent for the
safe keeping and proper punishment of
all offenders of the higher grades, and
that work houses and houses of correction
are needed for those whose crimes are
of s trivial character, and whose refor:
mation and future usefulness may be
accomplished by a humans system of
discipline, such as will bd recommended.

Having laid before you a general sur

State. which relate to the common wet.

fare, It affords me also the highest
gratification to add that the amicable In-
terronnse and pleasant ridations which
have so long existed between the gOV.
ernment of Penrusylvanla and the gov
ernments of all the other States and of
the Union, continue unimpaired; and
consequently our resolution, ""to pre.
terve, protect and defend" these funda
mental principles of humanity. equal
r i g hts and equal notice to all, universal
freedom and • united country, la greatly
strengthened.
The general relations of the National
Government, as sot forth in the recent
annual montage of the President, con
tinue to be .‘ peaCe at home and without
entangling alliances abroad ;" the recon
struction of the States lately in rebellion
la being ispldly accomplished—the rave.
flee are being faithfully collected—the
National debt is being liquidated at the
rate of about one hundred, million dollars
per annum, and repudiation has been
emphatically repudiated. A strict and
uneompromising adherence tothis policy
by a prudent and economical adminis
tration has already restored the Na•
onal character to the fullest confidence
In the minda, note only of our country
men but of .foreigners, and has allayed
all spirit of discontent that might have
been dangerous to the stability of our
institutions. '
Theta is another subject also of Na
tional Importance claiming our attention,
because It directly affects the ihdostrial
operations In which Pennsylvania in so
largely interested. Movements,' char
acterized with the greatest energy, are
now being made by those interested in
free trade, to Induce Congress to take
such action as wilt nermit the free intro
duction of steel, iron and Iron materials
for 'ship building. and many other mod!.
fictitious of the tariff laws. Should such
efforts be successful, the result must
prove disastrous to the great coal, Iron
and other interests et our State, dimin-
,
!shins the production of Iron and other
manufactured articles, and consequently
the consumption of coal, and be aestruo
live to oar valuable home markets. It
would also prove disastrous to many of
our capitalists and working people—de
priving them of all reasonable prospects
of • future activity and remunerating
wages—and brirg our producers into a
ruinous competition with pauper labor
from abroad. So far as the present sys
tem affords protection to the merman.
tures, labor and products of Pennsylva
nia, it is obligatory upon us to use all
favorable means to prevent any r o deo- I
don of existing duties. Our miners,s• 1 '

While acknowledging the rightful coo. 1
atitutional authority of the General Gov
ernment to dispose of all questions
relative to national affairs, and while in
• no manner leaking to interfere with the
exercise of that authority, I cannot re-
train from alluding to the fact, that for
more than a year a brave people in Cuba
have been struggling for their indepen•
donee against great odds, In the face of
barbarities and atrocities which will
forever be a foul blot upon the history'of Spain. We should indeed be unmind- I
nal of humanity and of the greatness of
our natiobality, it we omitted to notice
this patriotic effort by the Cubans to
throw off the Spaniah yoke, and like our
own ancestors, "to assume among the
powers of the earth the separate and
equal station to which nature and na
ture's God entitle them." The new or
ganization has abolished slavery, and
attested its right not only to our *yams;
thy, but to recognition, by the vigor and
determination of its resistance to the op-
Drentions of the mother country: Almost
from the beginning of our National Gov
ernment, Oangreeshu furnlitied numer
ous precedents for the action here Judi,
cited, even when the reophirldroggling
for liberty were not upon the • Aneridart
continent. They recognized Greece in
her efforts to establish • her nationality
against Turkish oppression. The same
spirit prevailed not only towards Poland,
Italy and Hungary, bat to Ireland in all
her movements to regain her long lost
nationality. These - countries had the
I unmistakable sympathy of the people of
the United States, and our public men,
In every branch of the goverument, nev
er hesitated to speak in their defence.
In the case of the French revolution, the
statesmen of America gave every encour
agement to the people of that country to
establish a republican form of govern
ment. Upon this continent there are'
numerous instances of active sympathies'
with the struggles of the people Iler.-11b
erty In various nations. /xi the. CM of,
Texas, during her conflict with Mexico,
she not only had our undisguised Wend

independent nationality, and' soon after

It is in singular contrast with these
Idstorio precedent*, that the people of
Cuba have u yet received no national
encouragement ,or reoognition, while
they " are imltating the 'example
of our lathers, who, ' -am colonists,
struck - down the hand which op.
pressed them, and . established
for themselves a free and independent
government. There is no question but
that the patriots of Cuba have the warm
and emphatic sympathy of • great ma

Iludcnibled Security.
Many persons, haying at this time more
or less surplus funds, are seeking informs
tion as to the hut investment. Railroad
bonds, if well secured, are generally
considered the best form of security now
in the market. The Chicago, Danville
b Vincennes Railroad, whose First
Mortgage bonds are advertised In another
column, seems to be the one which in
vites the closest examinsUon, and grows
in favor upon intimate acquaintance. In
the • that place, the name of the General
Agents for negotiating the Bonds is a
strong recommendation. For forty years
in Boston and twenty years in New
York, W. Bailey Lang & Co., have been
the agents of a number of the moat ex
tensive and noted railroad Iron makers in
the world. In that eepacity they 'hive
acqnired en Intimate and practical' so
qnaintance with every part of railroad
building and requirements, which is I n
in enabling them to judge beyond •
question of the character and market
value of any railroad work. They have;
diming all these years of successful trade,
been honorably distinguished as a house
of sagacity, energy and integrity, and
their unqualified endorsement of a rail
road enterprise means that there Is no
sham in , it from top to bottom. • •
