Among the bills introduced was one by Mr. Allison relating to the tees of pension claim i attorneys. He said he did not wish to be responsible for all its provisions, but they i were the identical provisions found in the! pension bill recently passed by the House. After some discussion the bill was referred to the pensions committee. Mr. Lapham then addressed the Senate on the subject of commercial treaties. He con-I troverted the argument advanced by Mr Morrill and others that such treaties were unconstitutional. What we wanted now was a market for our agricultural, mechanical and manufacturing products. No law of Congress could secure such a market. It could only be done bv proper treaties.

A SAD CASE Of a Young Japanese Who Come to this Country to study Textile Machin ery iu Mills. Boston, Jan. 8. The Journal says The facts have just be come known about the terrible experience of a Japanese student, named Masuda. in Sep tember last, while on his way to Massachu setts, to study the textile machinery in mills of this State. He was provided with letters from the Emperor and prominent functiona ries. and carried about his body &150in gold. On his trip across the continent on cars, this side of lloosac Tunnel, several young men among the passengers, made him believe he had put on the tram for Canada instead of for Boston, and that he was to be made a slave in the dominion. The young Japaneze became desperate in his alarm and jumped from the platform of the Hying train when near Concord Junction lie lost conscious-1 ness on striking the ground. Some tramps found him by the track ami took him to their den. They stripped him of his gold watch ond other jewelry and of his money belt. Then they beat him horribly until they supposed there was no life left in him and threw his body, dead, as they sup posed, into the thicket. How long he laid laid there he does not know. When he re gained his senses he dragged himself out and succeeded in reaching a house. The letters which he had recovered from the hut over came the fears of the farmer’s family and he was cared for. The next day he was sent to Boston and was taken in by a gentleman liv ing at Forest Hills. That night he was prostrated by severe illness. His suflerings afleeted his mind, and he has not tullv recov ered. A few days ago he went to Mr. Moody's school at Northfleld, where he will study English for a time, in the hope that he may recover his health sufficiently to be able to pursue his original investigations.

The Railroad a Costly Enterprise—The Prohibition of Alcoholic Trade Opposed. Berlin. Jan. 8. Dr. Busch, under foreign secretary of Germany, presided at the meeting of the Congo conference at Berlin, yesterday. The decision of the committee on the slavery ques j tion was unanimouslv adopted. The conference will meet again on Friday. It was stated that the cost of a railway from Stanley Pool to Lower Congo would be j 81,250,000 and that it would require a carry* >ng of 100 tons ot freight daily to pay 4 per cent on its cost. The scheme is regarded as I outside the scope of the conference. J Favorable repons in relation to the ne gotiation between France and the African In ternational Association continues to be made. The sixth conference protocol which has been published, shows that l)r. Busch stated that Germany was unable to support any i project that would be hurtful to the future interests of commerce. The proposed prohi bition of the traffic in alcohol would render j the decisions of the conference in regard to j the freedom of commerce illusory, if certain powers were allowed to exercise control over the trade of others. The proposal of Count Kapnist, the Rus »ian delegate, to establish a meteorological station on the Congo was approved. In a debate on Mr. Kasson's neutrality scheme, Count de Launcv, the Italian embas sador, proposed that the powers should re nounce the idea of extending any military ac tion to the Congo basin, and cause the ittser tion of a clause proposing resource to the mediation of friendly powers before appeal ing to arms. Mr. Kasson stated that the ob ject proposed was a practical, not a theoreti cal one, and was intended to assure the se curity of commercial enterprise. Henry M Stanley has arrived at Cologne on his way to Berlin. Numerous fetes and receptions were given in his honor at the as semblage of the merchants of the Rhine province and Westphalia. Herr Jureliner and Dr. Fabri warmly spoke of the services of Stanley and Livingston for science -Mr. Stanley thanked the merchants for their kind reception, and made a long address on Afri can matters. A banquet followed, which was participated in by the civic, provincial anil military officials. Six hundred guests were present. Mr. Stanley made a humor ous speech, in which he spoke of his African experiences and narrated a number of African fables, illustrative of the richness of the land watered hy the Congo. No political allusions were made in his address,and he was heartily cheered. King Leopold, of Belgium, is using his in fluence with Emperor William to recommend Albert II, the son of the Count of Flanders, for the position of viceroy of the Congo State which shall be under Belgian regancy until Albert reaches his majority. A VAST DIFFERENCE. The Hafes of Mill Operatives in Kng> land Compared to Those in This Country—The Situation at Fall River. Fall River, Jan. 8. Under the heading “A further reduction in wages means starvation," Secretary Howard tonight issued an address to the spinners of Fall River ami neighborhood, announcing a special meeting for Saturday night. In his address Secretary Howard asserts that wages have been reduced 60 per cent, since 1874; that tlie price paid for spinning warp on a pair of mules of 1200 spindles will be 30 cents per 1000 skeins, against 33 cents paid for the same work in Oldham, England, and that 66 hours of labor per week only are re quired of spinners in England, against 66 hours in this country. Labor, he says, is strong enough to make itself respected, hut organizations are essential. The secretary calls on every spinner to be present, and an exciting meeting is expected. More About Dynamiters. Greensboro, l’a. Jan. 8. The story that the English detectives ob tained evidence that a powerful secret so I ciety of dynamiters,is in existence at Irwin's station, who are directly responsible for the recent explosions in England, is received with little credence. It is stated that the story is a political scheme to bring about an tagonism between English and Irish residents in this country and at present the future co alitions. such as were victorious in the late election.

We give this morning the admirable inaugural Address of the Governor in full. It is one that will repay careful perusal, and is much praised by those who heard it. After alluding in fitting terms to the three ex-Govemors who have passed away since the Legislature last assembled, the Governor calls attention to the finances of the State. The actual net indebtedness of the State was reduced in the past two years by the amount of $375 610.99. The reduction of tne bonded debt in the same time was $736,915. Savings banks in the State are in a flourishing condition, reports showing an increase in deposits of nearly three and a half millions in two years. Attention is 1 urited to the needs of the State College amt the Industrial School, with tli; other public institutions. The excellent condi tion of all these is specially remarked upon. Establishment of an agricultural experiment station in connection with the State College is advocated, as such action would be very advantageous to the agri cultural interests of our State. Maine has steadily progressed in the lines of manufacturing, and education, and commerce. As regards the last, we have been favored by national legislation, though it is too evident that there is need ot some action which shall arrest the de cline of the country as a whole in the industry of ship building. The Governor recommends that the matter ot pensions be attended to, and that sufficient appropriation be made for deserving cases. In regard to the Indians, a marked improvement is noted in their condition. It is advised that authority be given to the Governor and Council to ap point a reliable Indian as a special consta ble to enforce the usual police regulations among the tribes The sale and use of intoxicating liquors are theeause of much mischief among these children of the forest. The majority of votes in favor of the constitutional amendment at the last elec tion, indicates the strong feeling of the people in favor of prohibition of the liquor traffic. There has been a total of 961 prosecutions during the past year, and this increased number has had a good in fluence on other classes ot crime. The law on this subject, a growth of over thirty years, is now sufficient to cover all violations of its provisions. Its only weak ness seems to lie in eases of non-enforce ment. And although special provisions have been made to remedy this neglect, the good results of appointing special consta bles have not been so evident as might have been expected. The reason assigned lor this is, that the rebuke to the existing offi cers, implied in such appointments, is so offensive in most cases that both munici pal officers ami citizens are apt to remain idle, and leave the State constable to exe cute the law alone. The Governor con siders that strict enforcement of the law by the proper officers, aided by active pub lic sentiment, would be much the most ef ficient means of dealing with the ques tion. There still appears to be an inequality in the amount of taxation resting upon the citizens of this State. Some relief in the matter was given by legislation in 1874, by the taxation ol corporations not before subject to such demands. This policy should be regulated so as to give an in creased revenne, and other means devised for defraying the State expenses without imposing so heavy a burden on the towns and eities. The present very loose laws relating to corporations demand attention. Such corporations are increasing at the rate of about two hundred a year. It is not re quired by law that their capital stock be paid up, nor that they have intention of doing business in the State, and thus op portunities are given for the formation of fraudulent corporations. There is a matter that appeals to us most strongly as citizens of the Uni"n,and increases our responsibility as a self gov erned people. This is the great amount of vice arising from illiteracy and igno rance. In this country are seven and a half million of children outside the schools; one-tenth of our population above the age of ten cannot read or write; thirty-two per cent of the voters in the former slave holding States cannot read the simplest English. The demoralizing effects of such ignorance cannot be too strongly stated. It is too evident in the corrup tion and disgraceful scenes attending our elections. The attention of the legisla ture is called to these matters, and the great need of some civil service reform in this State, as well as in the Nation. The Governor speaks at considerable length and in an encouraging manner of agriculture. The State institutions are all in excellent condition. In regard to the Reform School a change to the cottage sys tem is suggested. The Address as a whole is one of the best ever issued in the State. It takes up nearly every suhject connected with State affairs, and presents in a few words a comprehensive review of the public con dition. It is a document of the greatest value and importance. It will help the State at home and abroad: making our young men more contented to remain in the State of their birth, and elevating the commonwealth in the estimation of all communities in the Union.

Gentlemen of the Senate and House of IteprcsentaUees: In obedience to the voice of the sovereign people, vou have been summoned to this cap u the law-making power of the £tate of Maine, and it becomes your duty to enact such laws as will best promote its moral, in tellectual and material interests. Your presence here is the fulfilment of the popular and 1 welcome you to the' honorable and responsible duties of the hour. My re-election to the position of Chief Ex ecutive of the State, is a source of great satisfaction to me, for it is an indication of the continued confidence of my fellow-citizens, j for which I take this opportunity to express my gratitude, although I am conscious that no acknowledgement of mine can measure the honor thus co ferred. I recognize the need at all times of a humble dependence up on the strong arm of a wise Providence; and in the performance of responsible executive duties, I shall also require that assistance which the experience and patriotism of the j co-ordinate departments of the State govern- ment are able to render, that the people mav enjoy ail the benefits of a faithful and iuipar-, tial administration. The biennial period which has intervened since the assembling of the last legislature of this State, has furuished facts and data for our thoughtful consideration. Our people have been highly favored; the fearful epidem ics of other lands have not visited our bor ders; while other portions of our country! have been devastated by the fury of the ele-1 ments, our State has been comparatively unharmed. We have had an abundant har vest, and there has been a reciprocal confi dence and friendship throughout the nation in all the departments of trade, commerce and social life. For these and all kindred blessings, let*us, as a State, render a grateful acknowledgement to the Source of All Good; being ever ready t> extend sym pathy to the suffering and unfortunate everywhere, and, when necessary, the private j and public aid of a gen-rous people. In Mkmoriam. It is proper at this time that we should pause, and render a deserved tribute to the memory of three of the most distinguished ex Governors that ever presided over the affairs of our State. The late Hon. Lot M. Morrill passed away soon after the convening of our last Legislature, and the event was properly noticed bv that body. It would seem un necessary to enumerate the virtues of a man so well known and so universally respected and beloved throughout our State. His private and public character is a noble ex ample of power and excellence. Near the pulpit of the Frist Universalist church of Portland a very appropriate me morial tablet has been set up, which beaTs the following inscription In Mkmohiam ISRAEL WASHBURN, JR Born June fi. 1818—Died May 12, 1888. Representative to the United States Con gross, Governor of Maine. Collector of the Port of Portland. An honored and useful life. The people of the State of Maine hear willing testimony to his eminent public ser vices ami high devotion to principle, tor he was always found faithful. Ilis loyal and generous acts are associated with one of the most eventful periods in the history of our State, and the memory of our late War Gov ernor and his scholarly and patriotic words ami example will endure longer than brass or marble. dust as we were leaving our homes we were again reminded that Death is ever busy at his appointed work. Another man upon whom the people have wisely conferred tiieir highest honors, has passed away. lion. Ab ner Coburn.the representative man of the best characteristics of New England simplicity, integrity and economy, is no more. Cradled in the adversities of earlier times, he has left a record of bright examples which the young men of our State may well follow.' ilis life is a monument of great usefulness, of high public spirit and patriotism. To his financial ability, his indomitable courage and high executive attainments, more than to those of any other one man. Maine owes her central system of railroads. To his liberal endow ments many of our educational and charitable institutions owe their developed power of enlarged usefulness. Called to the office of Governor during the most trying period of the late war—in 1863— he displayed firm ness. sagacity and patriotism of the highest order Ilis life, character and achievements are an honor to Maine, and proud is the State that can claim the birth and citizenship of such a man The State from time to time has made ap propriations for portraits of our great men, whose public achievements and virtues en title their memories to be thus perpetuated, and it would be well to ('insider what public recognition shall be accorded to these men. Appropriate and lasting memorial honors are but a just recognition of the valuable «er viees of our distinguished statesmen, and add to the dignity and reputation of the State. Legislation. Experience justifies the suggestion that all public questions submitted for your consider ation should receive thoughtful and careful examination, and that the more important matters of legislation should command the attention of the early days of the session. 1 am aware that the salary which the members of the Legislature receive is inadequate for the time and money spent in the careful con sideration of legislative subjects, which often times seriously aflect vast public interests. The pay which members receive in many in stances does not meet the necessary expenses of the session. Biennial sessions in our State necessarily lengthen the term of active service of the members of the Legislature, and so far without additional compensation The public labor incident to the present ses sion will probably approximate that of two I ordinary annual sessions, and the just com j pensation of members is among the subjects which now might well be considered. We should not, however, wish to invite an in I crease of legislation by more liberal salaries, for change of the public laws is not always 1 beneficial. That conservatism is to be de sired w hich refuses to set aside the old. until j something better can be substituted. Legis lation is a sacred trust and should be careful ly and faithfully executed; certainty and stability should be the essential elements of all the laws of a popular government. We sometimes find in recent public enactments serious errors of expression, ill advised and crude amendments, omissions, neglect to re peal conflicting laws, inharmonious sections and careless engrossment. These are among the deplorable results of hasty legislation. The care and time which have heretofore been exercised in our State have practically remedied these evils, but nothing should be left udone that will promote efficient legisla tion. In the interest of economy, I would recommend the practicability of the Legisla ture employing the services of a special draftsman tii set in correct form bills to be passed. The New Revision of tiie St*ti:tes. The fourth revision of the General and Ihiblic Laws of the State commenced in 1881. was completed bv the Commissioner, the Honorable Charles W. Goddard, under the supervision of a legislative committee, and went into effect on the first day of Janua rv, 1884. By a wise incorporation of the legislation of 1883, the Revised Statutes now embraces the entire body of our public laws. It is but justice to the commissioner and to the commission, to remark that this re sponsible duty has been faithfully performed, and thst the work commands, as is be'.ieveJ. universal approval. The stvle of the text is concise, clear and modern, the arrangement orderly and lucid, and the mechanical execu tion is entirely satisfactory. After so ex haustive and careful revision of our public laws, which now embrace the legislative wi-dom and experience of over sixtv years, it i* to bn hoped that ail unnecessary changes will be avoided by the conservatism- of thoughtful legislation. PcsisHME.vr of Capital Crimes. It bee mes my painful duty to call vour attention to the f at that luring the past two years an unusual number of coil-bl inded murders have been committed in this State The change in our laws in regard to capital offences has not art >rded that protecti >n to human life that was anticipated. Tnrough the vigilance of the officers ol the law, in all but one instance, the criminal has been appre hended. Five murderers have been tried, con victed and sentenced to be hung, two sen tenced for life in State prison, aad others are awaiting trial. There is a sentiment among our people that executive clemency should m >dify the extreme penalty of the law in each case. It cannot escape the ob servation and judgment of the people of our State, that the constitution sets forth that each branch of the government has special i and separate duties to perform in regard to our laws; one to make, one to judge and one to execute. The will of the popular legisla tive branch of the State cannot be held too sacred and its delibcrtte enactments require prompt and certain execution. In the revision of the law fixing thepenaltv for capital of fences, the day of execution of a person con dented to death is now fixed and made cer tain by judicial authority, leaving no dis cretion in the chief magistrate, but to issue the warrant for execution. It will, therefore, be my purpose, however painful, to execute this law unless extraordinary circumstances should demand an interference as an act of justice and rnerev. tor thirty years previous to 18«o. the death p malty was on the statute book «>f our State, but its execution was disregarded, except in one instance. The legislature of 1875 made it certain whose duty it became to fix the dav of executi >n. This change of the law was f dlowed by warrants from the Governor for two executions for the crime of murder. We have to-dav similar jurisdiction and responsibility. The law, however, providing for the death penalty, was repealed immed iately following its certain execution in 1876, and imprisonment at hard labor for life was substituted. With these suggestions. I leave the matter for your serious consideration. Matters Submitted to the Executive Council by the Legislature. The question of making an abatement of the State tax of several towns, and adjusting the claims of a number of private citizens, as set forth in petitio ,s referred to the Execu tive Council by the action of the legislature, has been dulv consi lered. Each of the par ties was notified that there would be a hear ing. Tne evidence and the facts offered were not in either case considered sufficiently con elusive to warrant the recommendation of any change in the State valuation or the recogni tion of any just claim for abatement. The matter of inquiry into the practicabili ty of building a new insane hospital, has received the attention of the Executive Coun cil, and the report will show that nothing has been elicited favorable for such an un lertak ing. lhe resolve f.,r building an addition to the State House c mtemidated such an examina tion an I exhibit as would show the plan, specifications and cost of such an enlarge ment. The report of the Executive Depart ment of 1SS4. with accompanying plans and an estimate of proh ibit cost, h is been made, and will he transmitted to you in the early part of the session 1 trust the importance and necessity of better and safer accommoda tions for the most valuable property of the State will be duly considered by this legisla ture State Finances. The adoption of the biennial system of legislation seems to make a review of the finances of the State for the past two years, desirable in this message, and it is accord ingly given in brief.

Total for the two years, 8738,915. Public Indebtedness. The net reduction of indebtedness of all the counties of the State for the year ending December 31. 1882. apnears to have been $61,436.91; for the year ending December 31. 188;!. $34,918.97; total for the two years. 896.357 88; which is an average of $48,178 94 per annum, or nearly one-fourth of the en tire indebtedness of all the counties. The net reduction of indebtedness of the cities, towns and plantations of the State for the year ending March. 1883, appears to have h*-e $396,655.81; for the rear ending March, 1884, $428.368.05; total for the two years $824,025.86. which is an average of $412. 011.93 per annum, or about one-twenty third ot the entire municipal indebtedness of the State. Tne State indebtedness was reduced during the two years, 1882 and 1883, $574, 812.41, which is an average of $287,406.20 per annum, or about one-twelfth of the en tire State indebtedness. These statements show that the people of Maine have been reducing State, county and municipal indebtedness at the rate of $747, 597.07 per annum, which is about ooe eighteenth of the entire public debt, and at the same time have been increasing the taxa ble valuation of their estates at the rate ot $2.453,668 per annum, while the population has been increasing at the rate of 7,093 per annum. This statement indicates thrift and substantial progress and i3 very encouraging. Savings Banks. The full and accurate report of our efficient Bank Examiner, gives a very flattering exhibit of the condition of our savings banks There is, perhaps, no better evidence of the prosperity of our State, than the constant growth of deposits made therein for the past twentv-five years In 1869 the deposits were $1.466,457.56. In 1879 the deposits amount ed t $23,052,633, while at the close of the year 1884, the aggregate was 832,913,835.10. I which shows in twenty-five years a gain in in deposit# of $31,000 000; in five year# an increa-- of nearly $10,01)0.000. and further comparison show's an increase of $3,409 945 45 over the t >t tl d posits of two years agv). The number of banks is fifty-four. The present number of depositors having openac i counts is 105,080, or about one-sixth of our entire population. The average amount to each depositor is $311.*14. which is conclu sive evidence that this vast loan fund is the accumulation of the increasing earnings of our industrial classes of m vlerate means. The laws have wisely provided that all in vestments should be made insecurities of the highest character, and although this direction may not secure the highest rate of ioterest, it is necessary for safety. The banks, however, are able to pay to the depositors four per centum, and hold a reserve fund, for the pro tection of depositors against possible losses, of $1,100,000. The careful management and sound condition of the affairs of the savings banks are assured by the value ot their as sets, representing more thin $4,000,000 in excess of their actual liabilities; this is an accumulated profit of 12 per centum, and be longs to the depositors, when divided. Tne aggregate dividends paid to the depositors the past year was $1,284,444.80; and the State has received, f »r tax up >n d p »*its as a part ot our school fand, $191.817.63—a larg er revenue than it ever before received in a single vear from that source. The savings hanks ot Maine were never more worthy of the confidence of the public than at the pres ent time. A system whi.-h shows such results i* a great success, and measures the thrift and economy of our people The legislature, which, in a measure, is the guar liau of the property of the people, should continue to exercise great care that these institutions are protected bv wise and careful legislali >n, hut for the present there seems to be no necessity for any change of law. Military. The experience of the past year in several States of thi■* Union, demonstrates that large populations are subject to internal disorders and riots, beyond the control of civil authori ty. The action of the general government in prohibiting the assistance of national troops in the several States, as a posse com it at us. to suppress riots and secure obedience to local law, renders it imperative upon the State to provide effectual means to protect the lives and property of its citizens fr >m internal vio lence Two regiments of the State militia, of eight companies each, one unattached company, and one four-gun battery of light artillery of two platoons, located at Lewiston and Brunswick, numbering in all 1072 offi cers and men as against 963 in 1833. are fully armed and equipped, and constitute a brigade under the command of (ien. John Marshall Brown, an officer of great merit. There are also five uniformed companies of reserve militia, well-organized and equipped, num bering 247 officers and men, The last enrollment of our State militia num bered 94,832 men. The entire militia of the State constitutes a division and is under the command of Maj. Gen. Joshua L. Cham berlain. to whom the State is greatly indebt ed for its efficient military organization. The two yearly encampments at Augusta, since our last session, were well attended, and the several reports of experienced array officers who were present, speak favorably of the military discipline and efficiency in the school of the soldier, displayed by the sever al companies The expense of providing for the military arm of the State, may appear large, but by close comparison, we find it fall-* short of that of other States, of less population and valua tion, and in no case sire we excessive in ex penditure. Our militarv expenditure for 1883 was $15.974.46 for 963 officers and nun; cost per man $16.59. For the same year the Stateof New Hampshire expended $25,000 for 1,194 officers and men; cost per man, $31.80. Massachusetts, $141,836 19 for 3892 officers and men; cost per man. $36.44. Rhode Island $24,000 for 1191 officers and men; cost per man $20.90 In our country the sentiment of the people is opposed to a large standing army; it is therefore more important for our permanent security that there should always he a nu.de us of defence in a volunteer organization The citizen soldier of our volunteer militia should he so efficient in military science, that in the hour of danger he may be able to impart to raw recruits that essential knowl edge which proved so valuable in the recent war. Military education and discipline should be encouraged by every patriotic citi zen of the Stat«*. The day of wars is not over, history will sooner or later repeat itself, and there is no immunity from foreign or internal foes. Maine State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. The claim* of this College for continued public support may well rest upon it* merits, and what it ha* done for the State. It ha* graduated 208 students. Of this number who are in active business. 11 per centum only are engaged in the so-called professional pursuits, while 89 per centum are engiged in varied industries, in which agriculture and mechanical pursuits are well repre sented. Quite a number of students have been, heretofore, connected with the College whose means, unfortunately, were not adequate to complete a full course of study. The generosity of the State has lessened the burdens of such, and of many graduates from industrial homes, who have been ambitious, but could not otherwise acquire the necessary knowledge to become skillful in the practical pursuits of life. The whole number of stu dents who have enjoyed the advantages of this Institution is 532,which does not include 92 students now catalogued in the College. The Institution has received from the State $200,318, and there ha* been expended on ground*, building*, apparatus, stock, etc., $150,000. The appropriations from the State for current expenses have been less than $3,500 per annum. The State of Michigan, like our own State, has taken a deep interest in its Agricultural College, and has appropriated during the past twenty eight years for it $909,833, in cash, or $21, 780 per annum Of this sum about $11,000 ha* been required annually for current ex penses. This comparison might be extended; but if would simply show what other States are doing, and perhaps should be a stimulus, a* far a* our own means will permit, f >r our State to do likewise. The receipt* from the endowment fund and tuition are not sufficient to meet the exj»enses of instruction and the many and necessary current expenses of the Institution. The State will he obliged to take care of thi* deficiency in order to pre serve this valuable Institution for the ad vanced education of voung men and women of the industrial classes. Tne trustees will a*k the legislature for ad litional appropria tions to enlarge and increase the facilities for imparting instruction in the essential de partment* of the College. This is a College for the people, and should receive a popular support, and I would urge that the State give the Institution a liberal appropriation. It is gaining in public confidence, represents an important place in our system of popular education, and should be strong and progres sive in all its points. I commend to your careful attention the several reports of the College. Industrial School For Girls. The Industrial School for Girls at Hallo well is no longer an experiment. It* practical efficiency as the mean* of rescuing from evil and placing in the way of improvement a class of helpless individuals, thereby sub serving the interest of the State, has been so conclusively demonstrated, that to neglect to care for it by necessary financial aid would be unwise and improvident. Among all our reformatory and humane institutions, there is none which shows more substantial results or is supported by more economic and common sense re as >ns. By a series of tests and experience in various States of the Union and in other countries, the good influence of I these industrial homes on the young girls who enjoy their advantages, is conceded by thoughtful legi*lators and humane citizens, i For some time the single building of the Maine school has been over-crowded bv in mates. and new demands for admission have had to be refused. This mikes necesssrv another edifice. The State bv its laws, pro vides for sending to this scho >1 a specific class of persons. The law, in this respect, i cannot be obeyed unless the Institution ha* the requisite accommodations to receive them. The claims that the unfortunate girls of our State have upon public charity is cer tainly equal to that of the boys of the same char acter. who have been so liberally provided for by the State. Private benevolence from time to time has been enlisted for this insti tution. and not for the other, and during the past year an earnest appeal for aid has been made by its trustee* and friends, and thereby about $7,000 have been secured. This is in addition to the $13,500 contributed from pri vate sources, and expended on buildings now in use. The now private subscription has been used, under the direction of the trus tees, to build the foundations, walls and roof, and to finish the exterior of a substantial ed ifice of granite and brick. When the new home shall have been completed and organ ized. Maine will have a humane an 1 educa tional institution for the present and future generations, of which the State may be just ly proud. The first building was erected ten years since by private aid and the grant of an equal amount of financial assistance by the State. I would therefore, recommend that the legislature give the subject due con sideration, and that the necessary sum to complete and furnish the new edifice be ap propriated, which can he hut little larger than the amount private individuals have already contributed for the purpose. Rekokm School. The affairs ot the Reform School are un der efficient management, and are adminis tered with commendable discretion and fidel ity. The teaching appears to be thorough and practical, both in the school-room and work-shop. The health of the bovs for the past two years has been remarkably good. Th average number in the school has'been about UK). N o obligation imposed upon the State is more sacred, and no one should be more cheertulv performed, than the care, education and reformation of tlie youth who have taken their first steps in crime, almost entirely by the force of circumstances or inherited ten dencies. It is earnestly hoped that the finances of the State will allow all necessary means and appropriations for the full and complete developemont of our reformatory system and institutions, so essential to the inmates and to the welfare of the State. The law of the last legislature, providing for the establishment and maintenance of a mechan ical department at the Reform School, in which hoys can he instructed, has been com plied with, under the direction ot a committee of the executive council. Instruction in this department commenced Dec. 21, 1888, under the charge of a competent mechanic, in a building erected for the purp >*e judiciously equipped with benches, tools and machinery, undcapihlc of accommodating twenty-four boys. The results, and the proficiency made by tin* boys, in this department, seems fullv to vindicate the wisdom of the law establish ing it. An exhibit of the articles manufac tured by the bovs was made at tiie State Fair at Lewiston, in September last, anil was highly complimented by those who ex amined them. The same have been forward ed to the New Orleans Exposition for exhibi tion. With competent management and suitable support from the State, it is believec the new department will he a success, al though it may still he regarded as an experi ment. Its cost has been within the appro priation for its establishment and mainte nance for the first two years. The law providing for the appointment of a visiting committee to this school, and defining the duties and powers of its mem hers, is found to he conducive to the efficient management and discipline of the institution. In order to redeem and save its wayward bovs from ruin, it becomes the State t* adopt the best means to secure their reformation. If a State in its guardianship, fails to render every practical facility to improve the young men entrusted to its care, and sends them out into the world to pursue a course of crime, to a certain extent it is responsible for their offences. It is generally conceded that no other system has been devised which has given such satisfactory results as the family or cottage plan, where the opportunity is afforded to classify the boys so as to insure safetv for the weaker or less hardened. It places the inmates under the constant and im mediate care of the offl rers in charge of a fami ly, and distributes them in such a manner as to enable these overseers to become personally interested in each member, and to adopt moans of reform ad ipted to the peculiar needs and requirements of every individual. It is the only system by which b >ys can be brought directly to the good and kindly influences in cident to a Christian parental home. It is important that this subject should be wisely considered and acted upon. The water supply of the institution is insuffi cient and that fr >m some sources is impure, and in case of fire the quantity would he sadly inadequate. The sources for ob taining a sufficiency of pure water on the premises are seemingly wanting. To supply this important need the most feasible anil economical method is the introduction of the Sebago water. Ventilation, additional facil ities for steam heating, repair of buildings and farm improvements are also much needed. Various subjects relating to the School are carefully considered in the reports of the trustees, visiting committee and Superinten dent for the past two years, to which the careful consideration of the legislature is respectfully invited. The purposes for which special appropria tions are needed, in the order of their impor tance, and the estimated cost of each, are herewith submitted: ftehago water and piping of building, $7,000 Ventilation, 500 Two family houses, furnished corhplete, 10,000 Stearn heating facilities, 2,000 General repairs of buildings and farm improvements, 3,800 $23,300 The regular annual appropriations of $13,QC0 for two years, (1885-5) includ ing $‘2,00o for each year for Mechani cal Department, $30,000 Total. $53,300 Insane Hosi-itai.. This institution has always commanded the generous support of the State. It presents to-day a substantial anil imposing structure of granite and brick, which is complete with all the modern improvements which science and experience have devised, for the cure, or amelioration, of the condition of the in sane. It is a proud monument of the humane benevolence of a great State, and is the ag gregation of the public contributions of forty-four years. We now have provided all that seems necessary for the wants of the insane of the State for many years to come. The trustees have built, during the past two years, two new pavilions, capable of accom modating about one hundred patients, and giving an opportunity for a better classifica tion. The necessity for a lull completion ol the buildings required an expenditure of 913,443 44 in excess of the appropriation of $40/)00. Tbe detailed accounts show the expenditures have been carefully and eco j nominally made, and the present financial condition of the institution is an improve ment over that of 1883. The receipts of the Hospital for the past year have been 9100, 000, and the disbursements 907,000. The present resources are $51,291.84, and the liabilities 930,513.58, leaving the net resour ces 920,778.26. as against 918,116.63 in 1883. The number of patients December 1. 1884, was 460, the same number as m 1883, but the whole number under treatment during the year was 667, of which number 207 have been discharged. The several reports of the officer* show that the condition and dis cipline of tbe institution are of a high order and that the superintendent has faithfully discharged his anerous and responsible I duties. The Hospital is considered to be one of the best in the country. The several carefully written reports of its officers will give the members of the legislature full and accurate information, which should guide you in your action. Home eor Soldiers' Orpiiars. The appropriation for the Bath Military and Naval Orphan Asylum for the past tw* years, amounting to 914,000. has been fully expended for the orphan children of the sol diers and sailors of the State. There are *2 children under its care, and as th nnmh.-r of orphans coming under the provisions and requirement# of the present lew as competent for admission, is constantly diminishing, it becomes apparent that a broader jurisdiction as a basis for membership is necessary in order to fill the institution up to a proper and economic standard. The school has been well managed, and ia deserving of the continued assistance of the State. Statk Prison. The State Prison at Thomaston appears to he in a better condition, so far as cost to the State is concerned, than for many years. It is not expected that it will soon become a self-supporting Institution, but considerable progress has been made in that direction since the present Warden has been m charge. From 1858 to 1880 the average annual cost of the Prison to the State was upwards of #22.000. In 1880 it was $24,551; in 1881. $16,754; in 1882. $14,742; in 1888, $10.51#; in 1884. $9,200. The earning* of the con victs in 1884 would pay the salaries. p*>-roll and all the incidental expenses of the IVisoa amounting to $17,850. leaving a balance of only #9,200 for the State to pay. which is a decrease of $15,851 as compared with 188#. During these years of financial improve ment. the health and general condition of the prisoner* have been steadily maintained so that a case of sickness among them is exceptional. The total loss bv sickness in the hospital during *he entire year has not taken from the aggregate of labor the service of one convict for three hundred days. At the present time there are but two de partment* of work carried on within the walls of the Prison, and those are harness and carriage making. Thd work done bv the convicts iti both of these departments is of excellent quality, and find* a ready sale, and the Warden manages to soil much of it out side of the State The amount of work done by the prisoner* is not so great as would be done by the same number of free men, but suitable manufacturing serves the double purp me of keeping the men employed and of reducing the expense of the Institution to the State. In 1888, the profit upon the harness department w as $1,702 71, and in 1884, 890 During the same yean the profits ol the carriage department w ere $18.1)08.57 and $18,800, making a total profit of both de partment* in 1888 of $14 706.28, and in 1884 of $17,190. From these figure* it appears that the convicts earned in 1888 an average of $98.70 ea h, and in 1884 an average of $111 68, while the expense of subsistence of each convict was $44 24 in 1888, and $48.89 in 1881. The average amount earned by thg^ pri*oncr* actually employed in these two de partment* was considerably above the figures 1 have mention* ear it will he nece**ary to provide for the erection of one or two new building* tor shop purposes, a* those now oc cupied an* untenantable and annually require repairs which, no matter how thoroughly they may be made, are of but temporary benefit, on account of the condition of the rest of the building*. A statement of the Prison's needs in this direction will be found in the annual report of its officers, which will be laid be fore you. The number of new convicts received at the prison in 1888, was 70; number dis charged, 44: making the total number in the prison at the end of the year, 160. The number received in 1884 was 52; number discharged. 49; making the total number \m the prison at the present time, 168. Hkhoukcks of tiik Statk. 'Phe natural resources of a State are im portant subject* for consideration, a correct knowledge of w hich is necessary that proper legislation may he secured. Agriculture furnishes limited encouragement for a liveli hood when unaided by other industries, but a* a result of enterprise and provident care we find the three important elements of gen eral prosperity, agriculture, manufactures and commerce well represented and prose cuted in our State, and grouped together,they are fit monuments of power and wealth. Agricultukk It would seem unneeessarv to occupy vour time hy a lengthy dissertation on the import ance and value of agriculture as the leading industry of our State. The claims and in terests of nearly eighty two thousand farmers and the diversified interests of sixty-four thousand farms, on which are living nearly one-half of our population, practical I v de pending on their labor, and the product* of the orchard, field and forest,for a livelihood, are worthy of your highest consideration and thoughtful care. President Lincoln, in his first message to Congress, uses these words “Agriculture is confessedly the largest in terest of the Nation,” and it is certainly the largest of our State. While this is true there should be no assumption of superiority,which seeks the injury of other interests. All of the great industries of the State are depen dent upon each other; and in its progressive j development, th^y are under an equal yoke, moving on. mutually upholding supplement ing and stimulating eaeli other. Agriculture, however,sets in motion the sails of commerce 1 and the wheels of the manufacturer, and is primarily the source of general prosperity, j hut we find there is a mutual compensation in a friendly relationship. And how shall this great industry he advanced K»>cent railroad facilities, and the introduction of many ww anil profitable industries offer en larged inducements to the immigrant to speedily occupy the great agricultural regioa ol north-eastern Maine. In our extensive sea coast, broad domain and rushing rivers we have all the resources for sustaining a vast population, and there should be no lack of proper legislation to stimulate and protect individual effort by the dissemination of ac curate information and statistics. What ad ditional legislation is necessary to promote general agriculture and to facilitate the set tlement of the wilderness portion of our State, ia wholly within your power to de termine. Statistics show that our State is especially adapted to the three leading branches of farming, stock raising, dairying, and fruit growing and the active prosecution of these branches should be stimulated by the favor ble conditions bv which we are surrounded. Associated capital by our farmers in several industries, as dairying, manufacture of potato starch, canning of vegetables and other pro ductions of the farm, has wonderfully in creased the aggregate of cash receipts from our agricultural resources. It appears in the last census, that we received a credit for making over 14,000.000 lbs. of butter, the production of which is estimated to have in creased the present year to over 20,000,00# lbs, worth at least $5,000,000 and equal to the value of our shipping in 1870. Special kinds of farming should receive special attention in order to secure larger profits and suitable en couragement, and it should be the aim of all who have the welfare of the State in view, ta encourage and stimulate these interests in every legitimate way, and if need be, to the extent of the enactment of laws and the ap propriation of public money. Manufacturing ami trade have been specially protected by the laws of the nation, and the great public

hare willingly contributed, through the rev enue department, vagr gun.* of money for their direct protection. Agriculture, the prime source of wealth, hag struggled com paratively alone, and has been content in making humble demands, while it has supe rior claims. I would recommend the contin uation of all the usual appropriations for the advancement of agriculture. Agricultural Experimental Station. The development of progressive agricul ture is ha-tened by experimental work. It cannot be conducted successfully by the vol untary efforts of our farmers, for they do not possess the ordinary means and appliances for experimental investigation. The pecuni ary burden which becomes necessary to cover the field and the requirements of agricultural experiments, is too large for any one industry. The best and most economical way to feed and clothe the public, interests every citizen, and is worthy of your careful consideration. The claim of the public, rather than that of the personal farmer, as an economic question, is involved in the result. Experimental work performed at public expense, and made the csmniun property of all, is reasonable and vastly more economical. The State, as well as the farmers, need an experimental station, which the people asked for two years ago. I hope it may be found practicable to unite it with what is being accomplished on the farm •f the State College. \Ve need at Orono a model farm, where may be represented the best breeds of milch and beef cattle and the best varieties and kinds of sheep and swine. There should be, in a reason able way, every kind of machinery and farm tools fo[ preparing the soil and doing all that is necessary, in a profitable manner, to bring the largest crops into the harvest home. The relative value of different foods for cattle, and how prepared, is an interesting question There are experimental stations in New York, North Carolina. New Jersey,and other States, hut the soil anil the productions of every State are not the same. We desire the analysis of our own soil; we need experiments on the planting, culture anil harvesting of the pro duct! onn of this northern latitude, and a care ful tabulation of the results for public distri bute in. Such a farm should be ari agricul tural blackboard, whereon may be written, and exemplified by practice, the requirements and results of scientific farming. The final result of experimental agriculture, when gen erally understood, iH valuable and profitable knowledge for every farmer' in the State and al-o when practiced and utilized on the farm becomes one of the sources of public wealth. The adulteration of the commercial fertiliz ers. now so largely used, demands a most rigid inspection. The farmer needs the pro tection of law to escape the fraud ami impo sition which has been successfully practiced, and the ready means to detect these nefarious practices is one of the purpost s of the ex perimental station. The cash paid annually by our farmers for fertilizers has alreadv reached the sum of 8250.000. A suitable revenue should he collected by the State from manufacturers and di alers in fertilizers to defray a part at least of the cost of inspec tion. I would call your attention to the many petitions of our farmers for an experimental station, and trust the matter will receive your special consideration and favorable ac ti«. I would also call your attention to the vast stock interests of the State which are in creasing very rapidly, and ask your careful Consideration of our laws in order that every protection shall be given against the serious consequences that would follow the introduc tion of contagious cattle diseases which have been so distructive in other States. The ap pointment of a State veterinary surgeon, and a revision of the laws prescribing the du ties of cattle commissioners, and enlarging their powers, is worthy of your considera tion. Associated efforts in dairying ami in the growing of fruit have been productive of great advantages to our farmers. The State Dairyman’s Association and the State Homo logical Society an* valuable means for the dissemination of knowledge. Active work often ceases for the lack of encouragement. The magnitude of these interests demands that there should he a sufficient appropriation to pay the necessary expenses of such valu able organizations. Industrial and Manufacturing Dkvklop mknt. During the past two years investigations have been made to ascertain the relative pos ition of Maine as a manufacturing and agricul tural State These inquiries show that Maine during the last twenty years compares more favorably w ith other States as to manufactur ing than in respect to population, tor. while she has fallen during tins pnod from the twenty-second t*» the twenty-seventh position among the Stat* s in reap *et to population, .she has only fallen from the thirteenth to the fifteenth in respect to h« r manufactured pro ducts. The great \Vt st has been calling for the better classes of people from the eastern States to develop her boundless resources, and Maine has responded liberally. Hut when we consider that the vast tide of for eign immigration has been the chief source of increase of population of the States that have gone ahead of Maine, and thereby created the greai Western Empire, we have r2,205 $11,62.1/0* Value materials, $49,179,75? $51,120,708 Value products, $79,497,521 $79,829,791 Population, 626,915 648,9.16 These figures show the following increase in manufactures ami population during the past twenty years: Number of establish ments, 13 per cent, increase; capital invest ed, 127 percent; average number of hands employed, 53 per cent, in wages paid, 63 per sent: value of materials used, 137 per cent; value of products, 109 per cent; population, 3.3 per cent. In view of these figures I would recommend that any legislation, hav ing for its object the development of the natural resources of the State, he as favorab ly considered ns justice to all persons inter ested may allow The more manufactures can be developed in any locality, the more valuable all the property in the neighborhood becomes. Manufacturing and agriculture go hand in band, and wherever a new establish ment is located, the better becomes the mark et for the farmers residing thereabout. This fact is easily proved by comparing the value of the farms in the manufacturing counties with those in the other parts of the State. The principal manufacturing counties are Androscoggin, Cumberland, Kennebec, Pe nobscot and York. In the first named, farms average $2,053 in value, while in Aroostook •ounty they average only $888 in value. So in Kennebec county farms average $2,031 in value, while in Oxford thev only average $1,500. The value per acre of farms in all the manufacturing counties is $22 12, and in the other counties, $12.11. The above com parison by counties lias been chosen at ran dom from the several counties of the State, but will serve to show how intimately farm ing and manufacturing are connected. From returns received bv the Secretary of State, for bis annual volume of statistics, I derive the following information There was an increase ot spindles in the cotton mills in the State in 1883, as compared with 1880, of 90,261, and of employes, 3,039. During the put year 6,852 spindles have been added. At the commencement of the present year, woolen manufacture generally. wa projtrinfions 1. Current expenses for com mon schools, $952,349 $1,020,082 Gain, $67,733. 2. Total expenses, including supervision of new schotH houses, 1,081,834 1,134,05' Gain, $52,216. 3.

The reports of the Commis sioners, however, assure us that tbere^ has been an adequate recompense to the State. From informa tion received from responsible parties, I feel sure that our fish and game laws have been serviceable in prop gating fish in our lakes and rivers, also in in creasing the amount of game in our forests, which in former times was so abundant. The police regulations have been well enforced, and the market men of the great business centres have had no opportunity, and it is noticeable they do not, at unseasonable times, ventnre to transport or offer our wild game to their customers. It is to be hoped that this increase of fish and game, so well established, may in future time be a source ol suste nunc- for our people, and of revenue to our State in a variety of ways. There is much complaint about the cio«e time aud the improper taking of lobsters for markets out of the State, which may need additional legislation. I call your attention to the full and valuable reports of the Commissioners for the past two years. A Indian Tribes. The annual appropriation for trust fund, schools, agriculture, bounty on crops aud annuities, which has been paid by the State, forms a part of our treaty obligations and otherwise constitutes a worthy char ity. The Legislature oi »882 appropriated annually to' the Passamaquoddy tribe of Indians #5,690.01; to the Penobscot tribe, $8,709.70. The Governor aud a committee of the Council have made an annual visit to these tribes for exami nation, information and advice; and these inter views have appeared to be mutually satisfactory. The funds appear to have been judiciously applied. There has been a wonderful change iu the moral and intellectual condition of the Indians of our State, and many who are advancing to manhood wou'd make intelligent voters. This is more obvious among the population located at Oldtown, where the scholars show as much proficiency and as good man ners as the average scholars in any school of equal size in the State. The faithful services of the Sisters of Charitv, who have assiduously devoted their time and energies to the education and moral training of the young Indian with such signal suc cess, are deserving of public recognition. The Right Reverend Bishop Healy of Portland, aud the Catholic priests of Eastport and Calais have been assiduous in tlitir labors for the moral and material advancement of this community, with gratifying results, and I would recommend an increase of pay of the priests, which now does not meet their traveling expenses. The sale and use of intoxicating liquors are the I cause of much mischief among these children EPARTM BUT. I have the lionor to submit the valu ible report of the Attorney General of the State, who e dis I anguished services for the past tivi* years, requiring avastainouut of labor, have contributed much to the welfare of the State and to his own honor; an i I would particularly eill your at ention to that part of his report which relates to the seemingly unjust enlorcemeut of the law relating to apothecaries and treasurers of business corporations. Maine General Hospital. This Institution by private benevolence has very much enlarged its facilities for curing and ameliorat ing human suffering, and its advantages are now sought after by people from every portion of the state. It is one of the best institutions ol the kind in the couutry, and 1 would recommend that the appropriation of last year be continued, if uot in creased, so that its advantages may be enjoyed by every class of people. Female Suffrage. I would call your attention to the necessity of some change of our laws which would and should give woman increased opportunities to di*churge the duties of citizenship. By innumerable deeds of noble conflict ou every field of moral, intellectual und social effort, woman has wou equal honors with the other sex, and established by work* her right to a just recognition and equality which selfish rule has heretofore prevented. Intelligence of the citizen is the ouly true basis of suffrage, and it equality is assured, let us not ignore its logical consequences, but give to woman ail the rights of citizenship To this end, as a step in the right direction, I would ask the passage of a general law recognizing the eligi bility of woman to hold any office not prohibited by the constitution. Support of Paupers in Unincorporated Places. The appropriation for “Support of paupers in un incorporated places” should be increased from $6,000, the amount of the usual appropriation, to $7,000, or possibly $7,50CT, to meet the prospective demands which must arise from the creation, by the laws passed by the last Legislature, of an entirely new class of State pauper claims. Foot and Mouth Disease. This dreaded malady was introduced into the State by a herd o! cattle imported f om abroad. It first made its appearance in the towns of Westbrook and Falmouth, last February. By prompt and well directed efforts on the part of the State and town officials, the disease was satisfactorily controlled and exterminated without great pecuniary loss. The expense and damage has b en adjusted at a cost of $5,545.74 The State is liable for $4,66st..‘tl, as it* proportion of this amount. I would ask for an early appropriation to adju*t this detnaad against the State. Department of Insurance. Insurance of life and property is now so general that the Mate should protect the people against im position. At the present time the companies per mitted to do business in the State are believed to be sound. Life assurance by mutual benefit asso ciation* may be encouraged, if organized within the State, but those organized or conducted in other State*, unless connected with some recognized charitable order, should be prohibited under heavy penalties from operating in this State. Corporations. Since Maine became a State four thousand com panies riof by mail n'» Circuiaio tree. 1. 8. JOHNSON CO., lk*U;n, oot(M& w; v English sentence or write a ballot. This kind of iguorance exists, though in a tar less degree, how ever, in every State in this Union, and begets per sonal dependence upon others for the most trivial information.

Let as continue to keep step to tha music of the Union which has always inspired the loyal heart of the Nation. Freedom and equality of the citizen are the first element- of a popular government; they are the na'ural attributes ol the human heart and the teachings of enlightened wisdom. It i- one of the results of the recent war, supplemented bv the voice of the American peop'e, that our constitutional obligations to protect the rights and equality of the citizens has been proclaimed and made sacred- The weigh? of prejudice, aud a legal and social recogni tion of inferiority of race, duriug many scores of years, have made the color line the cause of great injustice, and there seems to be reasons in some quarters for national interference, in order that many of our citiz' ns, both educated and lowly, mav be better protected in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Human government fails to discharge its highest duty when it neglects to protect the rights of its most humble citizen. Ihe right- of the citizen will not be secured until he has a tree ballot, and an honest return and count thereof. The intimidation of voters in the South, and the frauds and bribery practiced in other sections of the country, menace the perpetuity of the Republic. 1 would call the attention of the legislature to the alarming evils which result from the large expendi ture'of money in our national State, and not un frequently iu our municipal elections. The civil service rules as applied to Federal office holders have practically broken up a corrupt and oppressive practice of assessing candidates .or office by party managers, a id the means of corrupting the pur chasable voter has been lessened. I would recoin mend that the principles of civil service be adopted by our own State, bv the enactment of such laws as will hereafter prohibit the collection of political as sessments from any officer or employe in our State, county or municipal governments, similar to the law widen wa- enacted by the Legislature of New York. The shameful practices of bribery and intimidation in our elec tions are not confined to a single State or to one party. It mav become so general, unless speedily checked, tha? the elections will no longer be the ex pressiou of free public sentiment, but simply the recotded result of ihe highest bribe for the vo e*. England, and many of the States of the Union, have taken alvance’d action on this subject, and I recommend tlint our election laws b- carefully considered by an appropriate committee of the Legislature tor the pur] one if practicable, of more effectually preventing Intimidation, bribery and corruption in our elections when and where they may exist.
