man similar to the one 1 made had not been made by any of my predecessors, and aa a proceeding against these officers by mandate could ot In all likelihood w pcoBoisirted to a coneroaknt before the present meeting Of tbe Legislatare, I decided to abstain from legal proceedings, and to nKt the matter to yon for such action asyow might deem appropriate. The safe and vaults are, without doubt, Inssoure. Their known inseountyhas for many years furnished the excuse to Treasurers for depositing the State's mossy in banks, and for loaning then. It is behoved, to Individuals. No matter what political party has been in pn. the rrablio moneys nave been thns disposed of. Bepeatedly, when the LeirftUture has been in session, tbe fact of suttn nUs-

appropnsuon nas oeen puouciy m mbataa in tbe two hoosea. mt such a usage

aboant be allowed is vnjnat to the taxpayers and not crodttabto to tbeStatc. That, it it Is long tolerated, groat loss of the State's money writ some time occur cannot be doubted, vct, that the public moneys, so long aa they are deposited by prudent Treasurers tn banks, or loaned to private individuals, ate not less seccre than they would be if kspt in tbe sate and vault now provided (of them, is undeniable. The Treasury law, as it now is, furnishes no protection to the Treasury! except in so far as It requires the Treason to eive a bond with sureties for the safe keeping of the State's moneys. 1'et though at certain seasons of each yot he has nearly two millions ot money in His hands.

Tqe legal prevision tor an examination, under dtxeeUaa of the Oovernor, of the books, etc. of tbe Tfensury, is predicated upon the suppouiUon that a suitable vault and safe hard been proTided for the custody of tfta Bute's moneys. The means afforded for ah examination, under tbe Oovei Ban's direction, are absurdly insufaeieat. Tha statute provides that it shall be bis dhty. whenever the law, or, tn his opinhnh the public interest requires ft, to appoint some competent and trustworthy aocountant "of the highest ability and skill" to make an ex

Thefauhreof the General Appropriatfcni M1K at the test eeseioftt the Legislature, wai not followed by the, tnronveniencen whioh were by moat persons anticipated ; and the propriety of

r aerertaination not to oau an extra session, ich would have oat enon tbe State an ex-

peate. at lexst, of trai seventy to eighty thouaand dollars, has bean fully vindicated. It was toon . that laws wre in force nnder which the State Government and all Its machinery could bo eoodaqtM, notwithstanding the failure of that bill. The General Appropriation bill ft it bad beaftme a law, would, indeed, have 1 united the expense for each object fbrwHch it made rjreffision. to the amonat exmincallr aimro-

I also invite yonr attention to the Mpef ieneo ot the Indiana Hospital during the last year in relation to the use of jUcbholio Honors as a remedial agent auvong the insane It is stated that spirituous hquors have been found detrimental to Insane patients, except in cases of low vitality, and that, even in such cases, other remedies have been found to bopW'Teiable." At a time when facts are being diligently colleo'od, in an impartial and s'cte itilio sidrit, with reforenes fit the effect of alcoholic stimulants in eti'en oi mental disease, this contribution will be deemed ot interest. T lie recommendation of the Trttste&i concerning the necessity of purchasing a small strip of ground adjecentto the northern line of ihe hostel ah til 'prevent houses in a village near the hospital from being built Inconveniently near to the department for women, la commended to your earnest consideration. The extensive Slew building constituting a part of the bospiUl, designed exclusively for Women, was completed on the second day of June, is. At that time some claims for Vork

In conformity to what I believed to be the requirement St the hot by which, it was created. , Insanity among women is known to be largely owing to diseases peculiar to their sex. The aeUoacy whioh recoils from the neocaMtirtohdltlons of treatment is often heightened by tbe fact that reason is not at tne helm to control emotion. Upon obvious grounds, therefore, I urged tipon the Legislature at its list session the appointment in the women's department of at least one woman physician. The Legislature neglected to consider the re.ommenjlAtjoni but the good sense ot the tf ustees.rjas rriiidb up for the negleot. A Mdr "df excellent attainments in the medicAl ierofessidn has been appointed a phyMrhvn la that department, and the trustees and superintendent unite in acknowledging the value ot her services.

ttss Treasurer of state, togemrr who sates, vault a, and other proper and necessary means for the security and safe keeping of the jublic aaonev, shoald constitute the Treasury of the State; and that tba Treascrer of State should be lenuiied to use the Treasury so constituted as the sols pUeefartim deposit and safe Keeping of the State's moneys: and the Auditor and Treasurer were leeolred. under the direction of the Oovernor, to provide such additional locks, safes, and vaults as might render the public finds absolately secure against fire and burglars, and an "appropriation " thereupon made "of each money as maybe nouses ary to obtain the

fn the pabtte prew. charging that the Treasurer did not keep public funds m the safe or vaults of the Treasury, and axalcg that tf, as was alleged, the safe or vaults were insecure, the Governor should require the Anditor and Treasurer to provide such addition-' locks, safes and vaults as were oontemplatt d in the act above eWed. If the aptropnation to which I have leftiied wear a ooatmaia? one, available whenever the safe or vaults were Insecure, the duty ef the Governor to require the Anditor and Treasurer to provide the tddltlonal locks, safes end vaults was dear. It hid, however, for many years been notorious that the safe and vaults were insecure, yet bo requirement of this sort had been made by any of my predecessors. It ot appearing obvious, therefore, irom the statute that tbe appropriation was a permanent ear, 1 infe.-red that it-bad not Been regarded as being eo by my predeeeasors, and might not be so regarded by the courts. I decided, however, when tbe question was urged, to take the opinion of tbe Attorney 3enaral. After a careful examination he advised me that the appropriati. a was still available. 1 then appointed two hiaulv competent experts, belonging to different political parties, to era mine the safes and vaults, and to report whether the? were secure. After a careful examination they reported that they were not secure, either against Are or bar:-lars. I thereupon addressed a letter to the Auditor and Treasurer, informing hem of tbe result of the examination, and reauirisg tham to piovfaie snch locks, safes, and nu'is aa would render the treasury secure in bo.l, these reepette. They, however, decided HOt to coaptr with tke reqnjrexnent. Aa the

Once the last meeting of the General Assembly, a serious calamity has befallen the State University, by the destruction by fire of the newer of the two college buildings, and tha val

uable geological ana icntnyoiogicai collections, museum and laboratory. The lose has been partially repaired by a payment made on an insurance policy, and by a very generous contribution by the citizens of Monroe County. But a large sum more would bo required to replace the loss. The Trustees of the University have done themselves much credit, and greatly increased the opportunity of the University for usefulness, by electing from within the State for Its head, Prof. David 8. Jordan, a young man ot fine natural abilities, whos? attainments is. thenatnral sciences have made his name favorably known to scientists of eminence in the United States and in Europe. The report of the Trustees is commended to your serious and earnest attention." PURDUE ujavttfcsrrv. I invite your attention, also, with pleasure, to tbe very able and interesting report of the Trustees and Faculty of Purdue Univ rsity. It presents, with a conciseness and perspiouity deserving special commendation, the condition, tbe work, and the needs ot the several departments of that institution. Its new President

has entered upon nts worn: witn great xeai ana

energy, and with a wise comprehension ot tbe sphere ot this Untversity in the State's system of education. 1 hope that it will be your pleasure promptly to provide for the payment of the debt necessarily incurred by the Trustees on account of a want ot means occasioned by the failure, two years since, of the general arpropriattoabtll. STATX KOSSCAXi SCHOOL. Tho State formal School, under its efficient Superintendent and able corps ot instructors, continues to increase in usefulness. The intraction is notable for it-i thoroughness, and the number of students steadily increases. STATU LIBBABT. The subject of the State Library is one that should be of special interest to the Legislature. The books are provided with peculiar reference to the wants of tbe members and officers of that body, and ot the State officers. The selection of new books should not be confided to a stogie person, but to a competent numbsr of persons, whose occupations indicate a possession of the knowledge which would enable them to make a Judicious selection. A member of the Legishv ure needing information during the seseton, to enlighten him with respect to hlaauties, or a State officer needing like information, should have tbe assistance, when practicable, ot a librarian who can instantly refer to whatever has been written upon the subject which he desires to read or investigate. Librarians, in all the great libraries, are trained persons, chosen for the var ely and freshness of their knowledge, and a faculty of finding, with faiatantananna furilitv. whatever Is contained in

thi books in their charge. The State Library should, tn my opinion, be placed in charge of

the state Board of Education, ana uim ooaxu should select the Librarian, Tbe Board was established in 1875, and is composed of the Governor, the Superintendent of Publio Inecrnctlon, the President ot the State University, the President of Purdue University, the President of the State Normal School, and the Superintendents of Common Schools of the three 1 rgent cities In the State. Its fitness fez an Intelligent performance of the duties proposed will, I believe, be recognized by you and by the people of the State generally. THE INSANE. Tbe Tins tots of the Indiana Hospital for the Insane report tbe cost per capita for maintenance of its Insane during the last fiscal year aa 1177.02 a patient, as against tlti a patient during the years 18i and 188i. and as against !185 a patient during the years 1881 and 1883. Most of this redaction is ascribed to the reduced price of provisions during tho year 1884. At the last session of the Legislature I urged upon that body the importance of defining the elements that shall be regarded as making ur tile per capita expense of tbe inmates of our benevolent and penal institutions. Sometimes all repairs of a merely temporary character have been treated as part of the per capita expenses: at other times they have not been so regarded; and no uniform role ot estimation has ever existed. In the asylum for Feeble Minded Children tbe salaries of officers and teach rs, school books, medical stores, and fuel and light, which are obviously a rart of such expenses, are omitted, as well as repairs of every kind. Until a fixed and intellig.ble rnle shall havo been prescribed by the Legislature, the relative expense per capita of maintaining the Inmates of the several institutions can never be ascertained and tbe reports will in mott cases bs misleading. I advise, on account of the difficulty of distinguishing between temporary and permanent repairs, that repairs shall not be taken into the account. I invite your particular attention to the gratifying statement that the experiment of the disuse of mechanical restraints in the treatmeu lot the insane, begun a little more than a year since, has proved satisfactory, and that it is deemed to have been demonstrated that a hospital for tbe iogane can be managed without confining tho

plan of building was adopted for the hospital near EvansvlUe. The foundations of the several buildings have been completed. A large amount of materials has also been collected and exten si ve fireparationa have been made for the prosecution of tbe work on these buildings during the next season. I .cannot too highly oommend the Interest taken by the Commissioners in all that has been thns far done. But I deem it proper to. add that the neoessarv cost of conBtractrh.fi: hos

pitals of the capacity proposed, proved to be so much larg r then the Cbmmtstioners had anticipated, tha for the purpose of diminishing the cost, I personally advocated a very considerable decrease of capacity. It seemed to me that if proper designs were adopted, the capacity of hospitals m ght be Increased aa exigencies might hereafter req ire. In this opinion a ma jority of the Board did not agree with me, and the hospitals are being constructed on tbe

larger scale at nrst propose'!. This communication would be too much pro

longed by a reference to further matters of inraraat connected with these asvlnms. I. there

fore, refer yon to the very clear and intelligent report of the oommlssioners, whioh has been printed, and will be promptly placed before

you. THE BUSS AND THE DEAP AND DUMB. The ranorta of the Directors and Superintend'

MXKDED CHOLDBEN. Tli mm two Institutions, inconsruouslv under

one roof, and the appropriations for which being made separately, render it nearly impracticable to keep correctly tbe accounts, should enamrn vnnr anxlona attention. I recommend the

appointment of a committee, at an early period in the session, to Investigate their affairs, and also to report what additional legislation is necessary to simplify and improve the man gement. There are important recommendations in the report of the Trustees and Superintendent whioh I commend

to yonr consideration. THE S?ATE PRISONS.

The average number of prisoners at the State

ITUon Nortn. during tne last nscai year wai U7. At the State Prison South the average num

ber was 870. The receipts of the Northern

Prison, from the labor of prisoners, have exceeded bv 37.302.71 the outlay tor current expen

ses. The receipts from tho labor of prisoners at the Southern Prison have not equaled the outlay for these expenses. The deficiency in

the reoalDts of the latter prison Is

cribed to the inferior quality of the

buildings used for mannfa- turing purposes, the want of land for raising garden products, and other dlsadvi ntages which do not apply to the more favored Northern Prison. In the State . Prison South the use of the lash for tbe correction of prisoners has ceased. The enlightened and humano sentiment whioh requires that it shall cease In all our prisons should be expressed in laws command

ing its discontinuance. The reports of both prisons urge that a hotter provision shall be made for insane convicts. A suitable building should be erected at one of the prisons at which all these should be collected and should receive the care and treatment required by their condition. To rcmovo insane prisoner a to the present hospitals for tbe Insane would be injudicious on two accounts that tiie friends of the reputable insane would not ' o willing to send their insane kindred to an institution used for the confinement of criminals, and that the proving prisoners to be insane, in order to remove them to places whore the opportunities for escape would bo enhanced, would soon grow into a business. 'Ihe report of the Southern Irison shows that 61 per cent t f the convicts arc thirty years of age and under, and that 15 per cent of tho crimes ot violence for which prisoners are there corJined were committed by persons not past the age of tweoty-ftve. These grave facta should stimulate to even greater and more constant endeavors the efforts of the humane to reclaim orring children and you b, and to invade, with all good influences, the nurseries in whioh children are brought up in vice. THE PABPONlNfl I'OWEB. In the exerr.is-- of ihe pardoning power I have taken great care to avoid turning loose upon society dangerous malefactors. 1 have endeav

ored, also, to abstain from such frequency In exercising the power as would make the punishment of crime appear to be uncertain. With whatever care the power may be exercised, it is almost certain to be used, in many cases, with an unjust, ahough unintended, partiality. The Executive can seldom be familiar with all tbe merits of the case. He must j oly, tbtretore, upon appearances; and pardons are too apt, in spite ot all the vigilance that can be exercised, to be unconscious concessions to the energy which has secured influential names to petitions, rather than to tho actual merits of tbe applicant. To intioduce a more just and impartial practice toward prisoners, I recommended to tbe Legislature, at its last session, the allowance p a much linger credit, for

He connectei. therewith, anu

that the Governof should pky t'J the slt.v, to id I in the extension of Its said srwor, f.n amount equal to the cost of the construction of the reformatory sewer, had the latter been constructed for an equal distance on ashlngtou street.

Pursuant to tne provisions ui wm v. a mvw-.-ed a competent cavil ngineorto supeHnMBd the work, and advertised for bids for itscdni struction. An award was made to the lowest

bidders, who proceeded wnn uiugenea i construct the sewer froa the point of beginning, at tho reformatory, along the route prescribed by law. to Noble street, to which street, during the progress ot the work, the city's sewer on Washington strest had been extend. d.

Section ten ot the mining law enaots that no owner of amine shall placo in charge of any engine used for conveying em.loyes into or out of a mine any but experler ced, competent, and sober engineers. Compl tints are sometimes made bv miners that their lives are ieonarded

by the employment of eni'lneere of a different character. The law dons not define wno shall be a judge ot the fitness of the engineer when such objections are charge! to exist. It is evident that ttie State Inspector should be made the judge in every suoh int tance. A requirement that mine "bosses" shall visit

the inlpers at their seven! places of wcvk at

least every two oays is urgeu uy very lurciuie reasons. Other recommendations, not less impressive, are made, which I have not time here to repeat. I commend all suggestions of the Inspector, who is a practical miner of long experience, to

der it obvious that you should at, tho present session mate a prober appropriation to enable

A due regard for brevity vdll" prevent mv re

ferring, with as much particularity as I should

desire, to the subject ot the State militia. For its efficiency and its Incicas In numi.ers during my administration, I am greatly indebted to Adjutant General Carnahan, and to the members ur my military stJ. I lefer you to the Adjutant General s report, with an earnest hope that you will give great welttht to its valuable

suggestions. The lnliltia now consists of

thirty-six com antes or infantry, eiht companies of artillery, one 1 lato in of Uatlins suns.

and one company ot cavalry. In case of a sudden outbreak or war they would be valuable, not only in active service, out in training raw troops for duties in the Held. It is not oreditabie to tne State, and is In great contrast to the course of States wliioli mirround us, tnat the State docs not contr bute properly toward the expenses of these orguilzntl n. whose help w uld be so useful in militaiy emergencies. Tho constitution of tt.is S:nto pi ovules that "the militia shall consist ot all ablo-bodlod white male jiersons botvoi n tbe ages of eighteen and forty-five years, oxoept suoh as mav be exempted bv the laws of 1 10 I' nlted States or of this State." Section mm of t le Itcvisnd Statutes of 1881 also provides that "tin militia shall consist of able-bodied whits trial; persons between the ages of eighteen and fort r-flve years." This retention of tho odious disci iminatlon implied in the term "white" in tho caies above cited, is a reproach upon the character of the State, and the moat energetic means should be adopted by you to remove it from tliese clauses ot tbe constitution and Jas. fiUFFSKEBS PBC'M THS FLOOUS.

The passage, of laws having in view the foregoing objects and. condition!: ot capital and labor and till) abolition of unnecessary taxation which eats up the fruits of Ubor, is in the interests of the many reforms demanded to give us substantial business, prosperity.

veiled (two have now intervened) since this amendment was adopted, but no act has been Iiaiised regulating the compensation ot officers n the manner contemplated. Every oinoer should be adequately paid for his services, but it is due to the people thu.t no greater sum shall be taken from them, in the way of fees and Binaries, than is necessary th pay the officer a fair compensation. OtBo rs lrenuently, however, relinquish regular occupations to obtain these plsees, under an expectation that rate of the fees prevailing when theyweie elected will bo suba.antlally maintained. It might be just, therefore, to postpone ths operation of the regulating act for a reasonable time after its passage. A bill properly regulating fees aud salaries will require much thoughtful coneiiclor&tion, and should engage your attenttoa at a very earljr period ot the session. BETOBK Of DIRECT TAXES. Indiana paid the whole of the direct tax imposed by the Uni.ed States upon the lands of her inhabitants, to assist in dSfraying the expenses ot the war for tho suppression of the rebellion The amount was IW,l.0i). The insurrectionary States yet owe $3,135,101.81 on account of the direct lax levied for the same purpose on the lands of their inhabitants. Non-insurrectionary States and Territories also owo in .the aggregate, on direct taxes, ltW,93.30. It cab hardly be tho policy of the United States, In thai present overflowing condition of its treasury, to coerce pavment of the direct taxes yet owing. Justice, however, to tho States that have laid their quota of t'lese taxes, requires that if payment or the direct taxes thus owing shall not be

enforced, the United States snail roi ay meir quotas to the States which havo paid them. I recomm nd thoreiore ihe passage of A joint re.-olutlon by the two houses of tho General Assembly, requesting our Kepreeeuiativee in Congress, and Instructing our Souators to vote tor a 1 w releasing tho Inhttbltants of tho Btatcs in whioh these taxes have not been paid Irom all liability, and returning to tne States which have paid these taxes, the full amounts paid. the AunrrOB op state. In the administration of the chlet exeouttvo office, the Auditor of State has much more intimate official relations with the Oovernor than any of the other State officers, ard 1 can not allow this occasion to pass without expressing my high estimate of tho capability and integrity of Hon. James 11. Rice, the inon-mbciit of that office, and my thanks to him for numberless courtesies. CONCLUSION. During the period that I ha ve held t he important trust which I am about to lay down, my endeavor has been to administer it for the common good of ait the people, and Inavo been continually cheered and strengthened not only by friends from whom, on account of political relation-, I might naturally have expeoted support, but from many who differ from mo on ones tions of national policy. Tc all! avail myself of this occasion to offer my sincere and gratotul acknowledgments. .... ... And to you, gentlemen, assemblod hero in the responsible capacity in which you havo met, I wish good health, cordial social relations, and ths iu tlsf action which comes trom a careful and faithful vUscharge of 1'ubUor q
