"SATURDAY, JANUARY 8, 1887.
wl en the judge came in with request for a few books, the "few" numbering juat twenty, which were returned the next morning, having been consulted after midnight. Judge Niblack, it explained, was ao long and so prominent in political life, that it waa feared by some that his addition to the bench would not prove successful, but by very hard work ha had won an eaviable reputation. Judge Mitchell, it stated,.boards at a first-class hotel and works so hard that he in rarely seen by the public. Coming from the Sentinel, thejabove may be regarded as unprejudiced, honest gospel truth, although it appeared prior to the decision if the Smith-Kobertson case. The result of their judgement in this instance, proves that the Sentinel was right, and the public will admit that il does tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, once in" a while. It concurs fully in the opinion that each and every one of the honorable gentlemen is an inccssant and tireless worker. Tt oven heartily agrees that Judge Zollers "is the owl of the bench," and is delighted to recognize in solid facts, proofs that Judge Niblack to the bench has proved successful, and that he has in deed won an enviable reputation. It has also been demonstrated that his long prominence in political life has not dia qualified him for the important position which he holds at present. And in view of all this, it seems astonishing, if not mysterious, that same Sentinel should now discover that it was mistaken and preface a wholesale onslaught with "Damn their cowardly souls."-

The Toboggan,
Hamilton Hppnblicnn. A Republican reporter, desiring to follow the custom of the nineteenth cen tury, takes his gripsack and starts lor a Christmas "outing," which includes a dinner of no small magnitude, and visit to a toboggan chute. He makes the city his objective point, and goes through the informal ceremonies of the day, which are enjoyed to his fullest capacity then came the question of the hour, have you "tobogged?" Not being able to answer in the affirmative, we accepted a twofold invitation and sallied forth. The evening was as clear as crystal, msde so by the electric lights, and intensified by the atmosphere saeming to originate in the vicinity of the north pule. The reporter, who never had any toboggan experience, was an interested spectator, and stood at the bottom of the chute and took in as much as h'8 reportorisl capacity would allow. There is nothing like the first sight at a toboggan chuto to take the nerve out of a person, and there is nothing like slidT iug down the chute to put the nerve into him. The tir«it sensation, as described by a fellow-sufferer, is a distinct lightness about your whole body, and a feeling that you are going to "get there" or somewhere and speedily too. While ve ga^ed in blank amazement, several inviteti guests took their initiative ride on their swift implements of sportative genius, and without our expected harvest of a full crop of broken heads, another convert to tobogganing was made.

THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE
[CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE
The common schools are shown, by the report of the superintendent of publie instruction, to enjoy increased prosperity and efficiency. The figures of the deaf and dumb, blind, insane asylums, contained in the annual reports heretofore printed are given. The insane hospital consumes abont one fourth of ihe entire revenue of the state. The governor earnestly recommends that the law governing the institution be so amended that patients who have estates sufficient to support them should be compelled to pay for their maintenance,
The action of tne board of the Soldiers' Orphans' home and tho Institution for Feeble-minded Children in promptly providing for rebuilding the hou»e burned last July is commended, and the legislature i« asked to endorse the name. Of the 25,000 insurance on the old buildiog, $5,000 is in litigation. The new building contracted for will cost $54,000. "I recommend that the Feebleminded institution be separated from that of the Soldiers' Orphans' home, and suggest that the feeble-minded inmates be removed to one of the new hospitals now in course of construction.
MINES AND MINING.
The report of the mine inspector shows that the number of mines operated in the slate is 208 the total amount of capital inveetedinmining,$1,975,000 the number of miners, 6,406 the number of fatal accidents among miners during the year, 7 the number of non-fatal accidents, 9 total number of accidents, 16 which was sixteen leas than last year, bat the inspector is of the opinion that all the accidents that occur in mining are not reportad to him, and recommends an amendment to the law requiring owners and operators to report accidents to the inspector. The output of coal the last year was 3,000,000 tons, being 25,000 more than was reported last year.
THE PRISONS AND REFORMATORIES. The state prisen south is not quite self-supporting, the deficit being for last je&r 12,665.33. Numerous repairs and improvements are said to be necessary by the directors, including grounds for cemetery purposes. The directors advise that upon the completion of the new insane hospital, the hopelessly insane convicts he removed thereto, as the prison is unprovided for their care and humane treatment. On October 31 the prison had 525 convict inmates since it was opened 8,743 have been received.
For the same year the northern prison netted to the state $J,55i'.52. It has 097 convicts, and has had 5,427.
The reformatory for women aud girls earned during the year $758 81 the expenses were $30,000. It had 177 inmates October 31, last. In the prison depart ment proper, a4dit|onal hospital room is recommended.
The reform school for boys at Plainfield had 516 inmates at the cioce of the fiscal year. There was not a single death. The trustees recommend that legislative provision be made for the appointment of a "visitor" to visit the bos on ticket-of-lcavo for the purpose of asc«rl&ining the character of their iioraes the influences that surround them and their general conduct, that the manage ment of tho institution may have relia ble information in rslalion to the same, and also to procure suitable homes for homeless boys whose condrcct in the institution entitles them to lici'Jt Cl-leave. I regard the reform school a? one of the most important institutions of the stale, and believe that the results, in the way of reformation, are BO great as to commend" it to the fostering care of the state. I have commuted the sentence of twenty-four boys, sentenced by the courts to the state prisons, to the care and custody of the institution. I recommend that the law governing the institution be amended so as to prevent the committal of boys to the institution that havp been Kuilt7 of no crime, unless it is clearly shown to the conrt that they are beyond parental oontrol, This amendment I deem imimportant for the purpose of preventing step-mothers, whose children have committed no crime, and are really not be yond parental control, frqm procuring their admission to the refor.n school, simply for the purpose of bringing about agreeable relations, and so to prevent parents from procuring their children to be sent to the institution for the purpose cf relieving themselves of par ental responsibility.
fiUSON REFORM.
The constitution of the state provides that "the penal code shall be founded on the principles of reformation and not of vindictive justice that cruel and unusual punishments shall not be inflicted that all penaltiea shall be prGnortioned to the nature of the offense," yet our penal system and penal code, and especially the manner in which the latter is administered, could hardly be further from a compliance with those wise and humane provisions of our constitution. Nearly every day our courts are sentencing to the penitentiary young men under 21 years of age, in many instances their first ofiense, and in many cases the of fense a technical one, and hundreds are sent to the penitentiary by courts and juries, thereby blasting their characters forever, merely for the purpose of saving the county from the expense of a jail sentence, which would havo been suf ficient punishment for the crime committed, and not only increasing the the number of the criminal class, but in Aiding a punishment in violation of the above provision of our constitution, which says "all punishment shall be proportioned to the nature of the offense." Two-thirds ct the prisoners in our slate prisons are under thirty yeari of age. To expect to reform this class of risoners by the forced association with ardened snd confirmed criminals, murderers, thieves and counterfeiters would be to reason that evil associations do not contaminate or corrupt. Those who have had experience in the management of ptisons, and also those who have given careful attention to the impress made upon the character of the young and comparatively innocent convict, by the aggregate prison system, testify to its hurtful influences, and the almost impossibility of effecting reiormation under such a system.
The sending of young men to the penitentiary for slight offenses is objectionable, foj* the further reason that however good his conduct may have been while a prisoner, yet, when discharged, he finds jhat the world does not look kindly on an ex-penitentiary convict, notwithstanding the offesse for which he was convicted was not a grove en?. It is with great difficulty he obtsi «s honorable employment, and finds still .^aaUr difficulty in gaining admission to good society. The ignonrciuy oi the ex-peni-lentiiry convict follows him like a destroying angel, wherever he may j. It is cruel to visit sach a terrible punishment for a slight offense. A punishment that ends only with death and a punishment that deprives the young and first offender from obtaining honorable employment and the association of reputable persons, is a disgrace to christian civilir.ition, a mockery of the administration of justice, and a sad commentary of statesmanship. If the state was not st this time so burdened with the expense of construcof so many new buildings. I would earnestly recommend the establishment joi an institution to be called by some such name as an "Industrial school" for the
.•* .^2
confinement of young convicts, and of those guilty of their first offense, whose former character had been good, in order that they might have at least one chance to return to the path of rectitude and to the favorable recognition of their fellowmen.
INDIANA T.EGION.
The report of the adjutant general shows the military force of the state to consist of three regiments of infantry and one regiment of artillery. The First regiment of infantry consists of 11 companies, aggregating 571 men the Second regiment of 12 companies, aggregating i)09 men, and the Third regiment of 11 companies,aggregating 557 men making the strength of infantry force 1,737 men. The First regiment of artillery is composed of 9 batteries, aggregating 17 guns and 250 men, making the military force of tho state, mustered into service, 2,020 men of all arms. Indiana has never made an appropriation for the support of her militia, and in that respect stands alone among her sister stales. Illinois appropriates annually $150,000 for {he supp«it of her militia, and Ohio appropriates $100,000. In consequence of the non-support by the state, old companies are constantly disbanding and new compares being organized. The result is that the state has but a very small force of trained and disciplined troops. The regiments in several instances have attempted to raise means for their support by holding encampments and charging an admission fee, which has rarely proved a financial success, and in several cases has brought financial disaster upon the regiment. In my opinion, the holding of military encampments for the purpose of charging admission fees, thus making a show of the militia of the state for the purpose of raising means for support, is humiliating alike to the militia and the state. The state ought not to expect her citizens to orgs niza militia companies and bear all the expenses incident to theii organization and drill, and be subject to services at the call of the Btate. I recommend a reasonable appropriation for the support of the Legion, and that the number of troops be limited by law, so that the state may have, though it be small in numbers, a well trained and disciplined military force.
SPECIAI, TAXATION.
The decrease of nearly $54,000,000 in the last appraisement of property, notwithstanding the stale is constantly increasing in wealth and population, shows conclusively that a very large class of property is escaping taxation, and a law should be enacted providing for a system of the most ri^id examination, in order to prevent the escape from taxation of various kinds of personal property, including money, promissory notes, stocks, mortgages and the property of telephone, sleeping car, parlor car and trust companies.
LABORING CLASSES,
The aggregation of individual wealth of various combinatiors of power, the combination of manufacturing monopolies and the organization of coal mine and other syndicates with railroad companies, are subjects that should receive your careful consideration. All there combinations of capital and corporate power aro organised for the purpose of forcing up prices of commodities and the necessaries of life, and of con, trolling the wages oi labor, to tho serious detriment of the people and oppression of the laboring mass??. To such ail extent has become the desire 10 riDidlv n.r..":m.nU^
wfre
it possible, the very air we bvr.^'.qg the water we drink would be controlled and doled out to the people at such prices as monopolists might see proper to fix. The laboring clats constitute large portion of our population they compriee, in a g»eat measure, the honest, intelligent, thinking citizens, who seek good government, and ate entitled to as full protection at the hands of the law as capital or any other interest, and inasmuch as their capital comprises nothing but honest toil, the enactment of ench laws as will protect their just rights against the combination of capital and corporate power, secure to them the prompt and full payment of their wages, and give relief from competition
with
convict contract labor, should receive your consideration. "WVN8II! TKUSTEHS.
The recent fraudulent action of townehip trustees and their exposure, during the summer of 1885, are well known to each of you. Such fraudulent transactions seem to have been confined ex cltisively to the township trustees of Indiana, and raises the question whether our present township system does not explain why Indiana w«s made the flold for such fraudulent operations. The duties of township trustee, township treasurer and township clerk being confined in one of'.icer, and thereby placing the entire management of township business in his hands without any check upon the transaction of his business, the accomplishment of fraud is made more easy and less liable to detection. The fact that such fraudulent transactions did not occur in those states that have adhered to the old system of three trustees, treasurer and a clerk, will be accepted as a better system than the combining of their duties in a single officer. T'nder our laws the common council of our cities, with a single exception, appoints three school trustees for the management of the city schools, and for stronger reasons it would seem that the management of the schools in the townships outside of the cities, as well as the management of other township business, is sufficient to authorize the election of three township trustees, a treasurer and a clerk, uuld recommend a return to that system.
DEFALCATION OF rCBLH- OFFICERS. 'i'hfi frrquenr defalcations of persons in positions of public triut demand your earnest consideration, to the end that more stringent mea*nres miy be devised for the protection of public fund«, and I recommend the enactment of a law requiring the official bornh of all state and
county treasurers to bs signed by at leaBt fifty freehold sureties, whose aggregate worth, over and above all their indebtedness and exemptions allowed by law, is double the amount of such bond and that the severest penalties be attached to the Timsof eir.beiiieuioni.
MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS. The enactment of a Jaw creating the office of a boiler inspector, defining his duties and jurisdiction js reconimendcd
James K. Carnahpn, commissioner for Indiana at the world's industrial and cotton centennial exposition at New Orleans, expended S'3.559.34, an excess of $59 34 over the amount appropriated.
Under the act of 1885 appropriating money for suitable monuments to mark the positions of Indiana regiments on the Geld of Gettysburg, the tablets wero erected, with appropriate ceremonies, October 2S, 1885. It is recommended that an appropriation be made to the Battlefield association for the care of the monuments.
Pleuro pneumonia in Indiana is now believed to be under control, and no new cases have been reported. The governor respectfully recommend? the enactment of a l*w authorizing quarantine regulation in regard to the importation of cattle into this state, and providing for its enforcement, in order that the cattlegrowers of Indiana may have that protection which so great and gr^.nnk an interest is entitled.
The state board of health recom-
ent law to increase its efficiency, to extend its jurisdiction over diseases of domestic animals, and to create office of state veterinarian. The board states that as the people become more familiar with the operations of the various health organizations, and the objects to be obtained, the more popular the law becomer, and the more readily the rnles and regulations of the boara are obseived.
The coventor agrees with Miss Callis, that the term of office of the state librarian should be lengthened, in order that the incumbent may have suitable opportunity to become acquainted with her duties. It was organized in 1841 snd now has 23,444 volumes on its shelves.
Complimentary mention is made of the work of Mr. Jacob B. Maynard, clerk of the printing bureau. It was dne to his active and earnest efforts in devising for the existing contract specifications, which enabled the state, for the first time, to determine with certainty who was the lowest and best bidder for the work to be dene, and the materials to be furnished.
In making the appropriation for public printing, binding and stationery, the governor commends to the legislature the propriety of appropriating a specific amount for each offieer or department named, for the reason that the present law appropriates a fixed sum without limiting the amount that any officer may order.

Farmlnjj by Electric Light. Electricity hsis been brought into play in Russia in a peculiar manner, according to a writer in the Journal d'Agricultnre Pratique. Owing to the severe competition of America and India in respect to wheat, Russian farmers and proprietors have lately sustained very heavy losses, which threaten to increase 'to at) extent which will mean ruin to them. ^Realizing this grave and very real danger, the editor of the Russian
Sticky Khosiane has been making experiments with the electric light. One great, if not the greatest, disadvantage of the Russian farmer's experience is the shortness of daylight, in consequence of which they cannot get sufficient wheat threshed. To remedy this, the gentle,man named hag recently introduced on his iarni the efeciric light, by which the work has been carried on later than was previously possible, and very satisfactory results have ensued.

Even if it has not diminished drinking or drunkenness, it has dosed the saloons in Atlanta. The anti-saloon movement has many supporters who are not by any means prohibitionists, but who recognize the political and social mischief that is done by the organized liqnor-dealers. To take the liquor bnsiness out of politics is not necessarily to promote temperance, but it is nevertheless well worth doing, without reference to its effect upon the drinking habits of the community.
