been powerful enongh to. overbear
tbe force of modern industrial and

bag learned too much in one direc

given to professional and classical
education over industrial and ecien
tine training.
A thorough system of industrial
training moat mbroce tbe children,
tbe wirf-kingmeo and tbe people. Tbe

public schools, on we wincr uuu,
with offensive poverty or low associ
ations. In addition to tbe theory, it
may be necessary for the State to af
ford practical training in tbe mechan
ical arts. It is not probable that tbe
old system of apprenticeship, which
bas gradually fallen into d inline, cao
' be s-cnerallv restored. Two
,..,itLa 1one would seem to be suffi
cient to prevent It. In the ettensive
modern workshops, tbe proprietor, or
mauler mechanic or foreman can nev
er find time to devote to the instruc
tion of apprentice, who are conse
quently lft to pick up, in a desulto
rv manner. bat little they learn, and
n minr indu t'ies the necessity of
producing articles at tbe least labor
and expense, to compute with others
in the tnarkots, requires toe nigneai
skilled laborers, fur which they most
depend upon the overstocked labor
markets of the eld jountrie. as tbey
caaoot afford to educate new bands.
Believing that, under these circum
stances, no remedy can be found ex
cept through tha direct agency of the
State. I renew my recommendation.,
contained is tbe message of 1875, for
tbe establishment of workshops in
connection with industrial schools,
and beg leave to refer you to the cur
rent report of the Superintendent of
Public Instruction tor the proofs he
bas collected of tbe feasibility and
advantages of tbe plan.
It will, perhaps, be a slow and dif
ficult task to secure tbe cooperation
of the present generation of work
ingmen. But, in all the large cities
and towns, where that class is princi
pally congregated, lecture and
draughting-rooms could be added to
tbe night schools aod such instruc
tion given as would interest and bene
fit adults. Every thing that will tend
to recognize the importance and dig
nity of labor ; that will excite tbe
pride and emulation of the artisan in
Lis work : convince bim of tbe inter
est of the Bute ia bis welfare and
tbe welfare of bis children, and Be
cure tbe fruits of bis industry and
thrift, should be done ; and I am
convinced that nothing will contrib
ute ao much to these results aa tbe
establishment of industrial and scien
tiCe schools and workshops by the
aide of our present high schools and
academies. Finally the appreciation
and demand of works of art and
tkill must keep pace wiife the capaci
tv to create ibem. llnseums, art gal
lerics, and other public collections.
are also important factors in mdustri
al education. Accordingly, I took
occasion tast year to recommend the
arrangement, for public exhibition, of
tbe specimens collected by tbe Geo
logical Survey: and to suggest that
you consider the advisability of ex
tender State aid to tbe Philadelphia
Museum aod bchool of Industrial
Art Tbe latter institution bas, dur
ing the year, opened free schools of
drawing and design, and as the State,
if it decides to add industrial educa
tion to the public school system, will
need competent ' teachers in these
branches, this fact gives it additional
claims to tbe recognition of tbe au
thorities 1 venture to hope that thi
subject will early engage your labsrs,
anp that tbe public school system
will receive a symmetrical develop
ment corresponding wub tbe condi
tioas of a highly industrial age and
tbe large and varied resources of
Pennsylvania.
ARBITRATION.
If it is to the interest of tbe Re
public that litigation ebould cease.
is still more to tbe interest of tbe
peopla that the conflict between dif
ferent classes should be brought to a
close. Aa It ia becoming tbe public
opinion oi toe avuaea world, that
tbe nations cannot afford to submit
tbeir differences to tbe costly arbitra
ment of tli sword, so it ia becoming
tbe settled conviction that nothing
can be gained by a war ot classes, to
compensate for the loss caused by
tbe disturbances ot all Industrial re
lations, and tbe dangers threatened
to individual independence and free
instiiii iona. And in many places tbe
same idea is gaining ground among
tbe trading classes for adjusting tbe
conflicting claima of individuals.
Since, therefore, arbitration bas been
successfully used to settle internation
al questions and even tbe petty dis
putes of icdividuals, wby cannot tbe
same peaceful agency be mvoked to
adjust tbe relations of capital and
labor?
inesurijecT, inocra important, is
not new, but baa floated in public
atscusstou tor some time, and no
apoligy is needed for tilling your at
tention to the suggestions made 10
tbe meseag or lb6. "Docs it not
seem practicable to appoint a court
of arbitratioa, composed of three or
more of tbe judgca of our courts, as
many operator, and a lice number
of tbe representauvea of tbe working
men, to wnom could be referred the
disputes ariaiog betwe?n employers
and employes, so trat, at least, a
full, fair, and impartial discussion
cooU be had, and the public en
lightened npoa the merits of tbe con
troversy; and, if there was oo legal
remedy, tbe force of public opinion
would eoofltraiB tbe parties whose
dates were arbitrated, to do justice
to tboae who were wroaged " Any
plan ia nuTTouuded with difficulties
from the constantly changing rela
tions of tbe great interests involved

TOWERS AND RESP iXSIBILXTTES OF
IX AL CIVIL AlTnoBITIES.
I Uvo repeateily represented to
tie people tbe reluctance with which
ttc Executive resorts to military
power, ank urged upon the Legtaia
tnr the oeeessitT of devising Borne
means f fixing be responsibility of
suppressing loctl ouioreaaa upoa iue
local civil authorities. At present,
any sheriff or mayor can escape un
der tbe ambiguous provisions of tbe
law, wiibout baving made a single
honest eff rt to preserve the pesce.
As a cooseqaence, there is a growing
,.Aaw,rw in relv onon the State It
has even been curiously argued that
tbe arrival of tie State troops super
sedes ibe local civil authorities, and
thereby suspends tbeir functions as
peace officer., and relieves them of all
responsibility. Tbe military is called
in to aid, not to supercede, the civil
authority. It would be a strange
construction of the law bv which tbe
desertion of their sw-rn dotiesbythe
neaco officers of the municipalities
would make the State authorities,
who answer their call for aid, respon
aible for the outrages committed by a
in a Dolicdess city.
The office of sheriff was formerly
m nt diirnitv and power: it bas de
generated, standing without change
in new conditions, until its mam au
ties are those of a jailor and auction
Rome means ought certainly to
he taken to clothe tbe office
with its original importance and re
sponsibilities. If, upon the written
request of a ceruin number of com
nerent freeholders of any city or
p.uotv havinir tbe ooali&cations to
assure tbeir standing and respecta
bility, it was made obligatory upon
the mayor or sheriff, under penalty
of forfeiture of office, and boo or im-
nris'ment. or both to summon a
sufficient number of citizens to lay
aside all business, and serve uoder
like Densities. I am satisfied that
manr disturbances which now re
quire the interference of the military
could be settled without its use. Any
citizen of tbe Common weal tb tan
now be compelled to leave b!s busi
ness and trarel its length and bredth
in tbe interests of justice; surely, tbe
preservation of order aod tbe protoc
tion of life aod property, will justify
tbe same service of a citizen witbio
bis own county. Such a law woul I
alno serve to fix the statu
of tbe inhabit ants of tbe county. All
who were loyal to the laws would at
once respoua; tnose woo reiuseu
would thereby indicate their sympa
thies for tbe rioters. If snch aa at
tempt should fail, the sheriff or
mayor, or in fault of these o (Beers, tbe
citizens themselves could, with
reason, can upon toe executive, sua
no question, so tar as tbe state was
concerned, could erer be raised as to
tbe necessity for tbe use of troops.
Tbe people have, happily, been so
unaccustomed to the use of tbe troops
to enforce tbe laws, that much mis
conception e lists regarding the real
position of tbe military power in tbe
Dolitr of the government, aod the
relative dunes oi citizens and soldiers.
- "... . ...
A simple statement ot theBe relations
may enable tbe line between tbe
friends and tbe enemies of law and
order to be drawn hereafter with
precision and advantage. For tbe
presence and use of troops, tbe Ex
ecutive ia responsible: of tbeir neces
sity be sth'julge. Tie awclotfa
him with that power, and tbe discre
tion to nse it; for its use or abuse he
is responsible alone to the representa
tive of tbe people, the presence ue
facto of troops at tbe Bccne of a
disturbance wprihia Jacte evidence
oi tbeir presence de jure. Whether
tbey are there by authority or not,
whether their presence is necessary
or unnecessary, is no affair of the
rioters or tbeir sympathizers. Tbe
tribunal to decide that question is
not the mob, or tbem; but the Legi
latore ot tbe courts, and afterwards.
For tbe time being it is the duty of
authorities and all law abiding citi
zens to cooperate with tbem in re
storing order or suppressing violence
To resist them by force, noon any
pretext, is insurrection or rebellion,
and can result only in the final vindi
cation of the law, in anarchy or tbe
subversion of tbe government.
THE MILITIA.
The primary function of tbe State
is to preserve tbe peace and gaaran
tee, uoder the laws, tbe rights of per
sons aod property. Your attention
bas already been called to tbe neces
sity of increasing aod de&ning tbe
powers of sheriff:, and yuu will also
consider the means of improving the
instrument confined to the Execu
tive. It has been tbe constant poll
cy oi tbe present administration to
use tbe military power of tbe State
only io the last resort. Unfortunate
ly the weakness ot tbe local civil
machinery bas made tbe necessity,
of late years, freqaent. Five times
within seven years the militia bi
been called into one or another part
ot the Mate, and oa all former occa
sions, its preseoce alooe has been
sufficient to restore order. During
the late troubles it also, in tbe end,
succeeded in removing tbe embargo
upon tbe trac of the State and pro
tecting its citizens in the the right to
walk, but during its abort campaign.
certain deficiencies and faults in the
syoiem were made apparent.
There are three inherent defects m
a militia system, which although
they may be reduced to a minimum,
nint-t alaraya exist. In the first
place, devoted chiefly to civil pur
suits, a citizen soldiery most always
be more or leos alloc ted by tbe syui
pat b tea of tbe community in which
tbey live. No laws or codes :an
prevent the common soldiers from
itnoioiug ue principles and preju
dices of tbe men tbey coostauily
socute with in tte daily walks. ' In
toe second place, with comparatively
little time aod opportunity for bat-
tallion and regimental drill, tber
cannot be expected to bare tbe stead
iness of trained professional Boldier.
I many, ia a volunteer organization,
without pay, the inclinations of tbe
men must alwaya be considered io
the selection of officers: there is nev
er tbe same rtluve difference be
tween tbem as in a regular army,
ana, on mat accoun , vutrfC can nev
er be tbe ame absolute eoiiicrit
orer the rank ' and , file. Tbe ' only
alternative which will entirely' obvi
ate these defects is a trgular staod-
iur army, disassociated from tbe
people and trained to arms alone.
Eeo u it were aot nnconstituuooai.
ucb a force would be annecessarv
for tb Bute, and m moat, there-
lure, exert ourseirea to brinf our
preaeat Audiiiaajstea to the greatest
possible eficienej. .:
I bava wea uas solieiUMia to pre-
MDt tbe conditiooa of a aaUitia cam
paign, becaaee tne condect of car
troops during the ate crisis bag elici
ted every variety oi criticism, irom
mild censure to ab olate condemna
tion, and because there bas grown up
in Pennsylvania a spirit of caviling
at its militia, in marked contrast with
tbo kindly feelinrs and pride mani
fested by other S ates toward tbeir
citizen soldiery. Sf, "that a tem
perate review of ibe facts may be
made, I believe it will not be consid
ered a partial judgmeot to say, that
the cooduct of tbe State troops dur
ing tbe late 6trike was, upon the
whole, commendable and credit
able. In Pittsburg, before a final de
cissioo. manr considerations must
modify our judgment. The condi
tions were not purely military. It
was not merely a question of preserv
ing a body of soldiery intact, of bold-
i J If K pUBIHOU VI Utitwuug u vuvmjj.
Expecting to march into a frieodly
community, whose moral support
would be cheerfully given them, tbey
entered a practically hostile city,
were denounced and threatend by
press and people, aod attacked by
men larked in tbe security oi a
sympathetic crowd, and used women
and children as shields and instru
ments. If, under such circumstances,
their action lacked the energy and
severity tbat purely military cannons
would have iustiGed, it cannot be a
matter of surprise, that baving been
so long accustomed to peace, tbey
were unable at once to com
prehend tbe sudden conditions
of war. As it was, though not exe
cuted with the skill and precision of
regular troops, tbe movement accom
plikbed its purpose, and tbe failure to
more tbe freight trains out of the
tity, to which more than any fact tbe
subsexaent burning is attributable,
was tbe result of the want of cooper
ation of an adequate and competent
police, and tbe desertion, at tbe
critical moment, of tbe railroad em
ployes. Tbe behavior of the Pittr
burir troops, io a military sense, is
without excute; but was it any
worse tbao tbe defection of officers
and men in tbe regular army, who,
in 1871, deserted their comrades io
arms to join tbecommunititiBia wbicb
they were born aod bred t ' '
Such things are not military, tbey
are political or social ; and it cannot
De expected ttt tbey ebould be
judged by tbe severest military code.
It was in fact the temporary excite
ment of unthinking men, carried
away by the uoivereal clamor around
tbem. For that reason, when tbe
burst of passion was over, 1 reinsta
ted tbem ; otherwise new troop
would have bad enlisted, while these
might be trusted to have a keener
sense of duty, from a desire to re
trieve their fame. In the case tf
tbe Philadelphia troops, akboQgb
disheartened by being placed ou the
defensive, and a part of the command
demoralized by a too precipitate re
treat; the geueral steadiness and obe
dience to orders uuder comparative
hardbhips aud io real danger, show
tbem to have been composed of tbe
best of soldiery material The fail
are to subdue a city; in insurrection
against tbe lawa is not to be attribu
ted to tbe want of courage, capacity,
or fidelity in the officers aod men ;
but to a natural disioplinauon to
lake life iudiscriminately, cod tbe
uncertainty as to bow far, under tbe
laws, tbey could exercise a purely
military discretion. For myself, I
have every confidence in tbe Guard,
and stall not hesitate, if another oc
casion should unhappily arise, to re
ly upon its fidelity and courage
The after service of the Uuard, wbeo
assembled together prepared lor ac
tive campaigning, was all that could
be desired. Toe fact that as many
answered tbe call for a service likely
to be long and dangerous, as assem
bled in tbe pleasant encampment at
the Centennial, is conclusive proot ol
the general zest and fidelity of tbe
troops.
Recognizing the exact conditions
of the problem we have to solve, 1
invite your cooperatian in making
some desireable changes in tbe law,
to better prepare tbe troops for active
duty. The standing menace, in any
future disturbance, tbat tbe railroads
may be useless for transportation,
either by the absolute refusal of the
engineers and crews to man tbem, or
from tracks being torn up or bridges
burned, makes it necessary to luily
equip the militia for long marches
aud the field. Except in one or two
inatauces, the troops, although in re
ceipt of the regular yearly allowance
of money, were fouud provided only
with uniforms and arms all tbe
equipments for active, continuous
and independent service, blankets,
overcoats, haversacks, canteens, &.O.,
being in part or wholly wanting. A
modi fka.ionof the law is required to
devote the fund to purely military
purposes. Tbe Executive has pow
er by law to recouize and reduce tbe
tbe National Guard, in accordance
with tbe recommendation of tbe Ad
jutant General, but tbe action of tbe
Legislature will be neceasry to re
apportion the annoal appropriation
among the organizations, aud confer
authority upon tbe Adjutant General
to issue tbe allowance in clothing aod
equipment or in money, in his dis
cretion, as tbe service requires.
I earnest'y recommend tbat pen
sions be given to tbe widows aod
families of those of the militia who
fell in tbe service of tbe State. Tbe
public welfare demanded tbe service
in wbicn these men lost tbeir Jives,
aod justice requires tbat I'm State,
wbicn profited by tbe sacrifice,
ebould contribute to tbe support of
those who bare been deprived, for
its sake, of their natural protectors
l trust mat, upon tne broad princi
ple of common justice, this recogni
tion oi devotion to duty will be uni
versally conceded, aod tbat Pennsyl
vania, who bas been so generous to
tbe orphans of her volunteers, will
not be leas than just to tbe widows
and cbilJren ot ber militia.

an appropriation to relieve tbe over
loaded condition of the he stern

NAVIGATION Of THE OHIO RIVER.
The necessity of finding a market
for tbe produce of tbe West led, some
years ago, to tbe appiniment oi a
Commission from several States, in
cludiug Pennsylvania, for tbe im
provement ol tbe navigation of the
Ohio river. As the work is one of
very great interest to the western
section of tbe State, and indirectly to
tbe entire Commonwealth, the Com
mission have asked tbe assistance of
tbe Legislature, so far as to Demor
alize Congreso upon tbe subject, and
request tbe appropriation of sufficient
raouey to carry out the project, aod
an appropriation from the State to
py the necessary expenses of the
Commissioners appointed on behalf
of Pennsylvania. Tbe r.dvantages
and importance of tbe contemplated
improvements, will fully justify such
action on yoor part, and I, therefore,
recommend tbat the request of the
Commissioners be complied with.
MVMIC1PAL COMMISSION.
Tbe muuicipal Commission, ap
pointed iu 13 76, bas completed its
labors, and tbe result will be laid
before you in a well-digesied act for
tbe government of tbe cities of this
Commonwealth. . A copy, as finally
reviced by the Committee, was for
warded ta tbe Executive Department,
too late for a p artful analysis. The
scope bearing and design of its gen
eral provisions aod do-.ails will, no
doubt, be fully set forth in tbo report
of the Commission. Pending tba:,
any discussion would be supei fjaous.
Whatever may be tbe fiual judgment
upon their work, there can be but
one opinion of the painstaking aud
conscientious manner io which they
have investigated the subject.
BOARD OP r-CBLTC CHARITIES.
Although crippeled by the failure
of its annual appropriation at its last
session, tbe Board of Public Charities
has jealously prosecuted ita impor
tant work. Tbe State and county
institutions wbicb have been visited
bave generally presented a steady
progress toward a higher, standard,
which is very satisfactory, and cred
itable to tbe intelligent and system
atic supervision wbicb tbe Board
nas kept over tbe public charities of
the State. Tbe detailed work of tbe
Board for tbe past year, and recom
mendations io reference to State aid
to public institutions, aod other sub
jects requiring legislative considera
tion, will be touod iu its annual re
port.
MlSC'ELLAREOm.
I desire to call your attention to
several subjects, wbicb, if of less im
portance than those just discusaed,
are yet of sufficient moment to de
mand consideration. Ibe present
act fixing the fees of county officers,
passed in ISCS, has been so often
modified by special provisions tbat
there is no longer any uniformity in
its application, and a general revision
of tbe bill is advised. 1 think, in
deed, that tbe salary provision migbi
advantageously be extended to all
tbe counties of the State whose pop
ulation falls below tbe constitutional
limitation of one hundred and fifty
thousand. Tbe bonds' of Recorders
of Deeds of tbe several counties, fix
ed by the act of March, 14, 1777, is
now wholly disproportionate to tbe
business of the office, and I therefore,
recommend tbat tbe security for tbe
faithful performance of the duties of
tbeir office and preservation and de
livery of the ' records be readjusted
and lucreased. In conoectiou uh
tbe Geological purvey, it would be
well to make arraugemeoi for a to
pographical survey ot the Slate, and
preparation of accurate maps by Jbe
Lulled stales Coast Survey, Corps
It is said there is a great doubt of tbe
correctness of tbe preneut location ot
tbe boundaries and ' points of tbe
Stale, and, as tbe expense would be
slight, aod the result trustworthy aud
valuable, and probably reimbursed to
the State by tbe Bale of general and
local minutely detailed mapi of tba

be well to authorize tbe work In
the year 13G7, the price of the pam
phlet laws wa-i raised from Glty cents
to one dollar per volume. Siuce the
adoption of tbe new Conetitution,
tbe volume bas decreased in t-jze.and
much complaint - is raised at tbe
charge I recommend the passa eof

ume does uoi exceed one hundred

it exceeds . ouc. hundred and fifty
pagea aid does not exceed tbro hun
