““State Finances, Lducational and - - Other Institutions, New

What Our Governor Thinks of the | ‘The message of Governor Hendricks was delivered to the Legislature last Friday forenoon, and was attentively listened to and heartily commended.. ‘With a single exception, it is strictly a business document, dealing with the interests of the State i:‘:‘fm, mat-‘ter-of-fact style. - It contaills the pith of some twenty-five reports, from va--rious departments and from the man--agers of different public institutions. ' REVENUE AND TAXATION. - - 'On the subject of the tax l'pvy;tixe Go or’s philosophy is very simple. Th?&esaod value of property in the State is $055,000,000 and there are 265,1000 persons liable to a poll-tax of fifty cents each. By making an allowance of twenty per cent. for delinquencies;” it is easy to set a per centage which will raise any given amount of revenue. But his excellency remarks very. pithily: “A low levy must be preceded by ¢conomy in the appropriations.”- He says: sl e

it 1o Saßie, obat A see-ob cient_ to enable each - ent | the State Government to exercise its functions without hinderance or delay.. Thus far there is no guestion or discretion.. . So, also, the common: schools, the benevolent institutions, and the publi¢ safety must be sufficiently proyided for. Bat the expenditures for these purposes should be. made with rigid economy. and with a view to substantial and permanent benefits.” Will you allow me to suggest that it would be appreciated by the people should your reforms com_mence with a reduction of legislative -expenditures. It would be an assurance to them which would promote public confidence, and give to your proceedings additional moral weight. At the “session of 1871 the miscellaneous expenditures exceeded the pay of the members; and at the last.special and regular sessions, that class of expenditures was still greater, being about $960 per day, though it did not exceed the pay of the members, which "had been increased for the _regular ‘session. I suggest the propriety of a revision of the act of December 23d, 1872, -which prescribes the number and classification of your employes, with a view to a furtherreduction. . - . With the same clearness and directness the Governor expresses his conviction that a reform in the civil service of the State should be carried out 80 as to adjust fees and salaries on a more’equal and moderate basis’ than now exists. “As far as practicable,” ‘he says, “fixed salaries should.be es.tablished, and all other compensation prohibited.” <

EDUCATONAL AFFAIRS

- In his review of the conditions of the educational ' institutions of the State, Governor Hendricks evinces a warm interest in their welfare, and expresses himself satisfied with their management. They are all, apparently, prosperous, and accomplishing good work. But in regard to the common schools our chief magistrate speaks with unusual force and enthusiasm: Thete has been received and distributed during the year, for the support of the schools, the sum of $2,211,328,13. The enumeration of last year shows that there were in the State 654,364 children of school age. “Of these 489, 044 were enrolled in the schools, and the average attendance was 311,272, There were 12,655 teachers employed. Everything connected with the. system has, in the opinion of his excellency, Improved in a remarkable degree. The people of ‘the State will endorse most heartily the following declaration of the Governor: i

. As representatives of the people, we ‘have occasion to be proud of the high ~character which our- educational sys- ' tem maintains, and the people will: approve the sentiment if you give 1t _-expression in législation that, in respect to the esu%e of common school education, we will take no step back- - CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS, With the condition of the charitable institutions of the State, the Governor is not less satisfied, and without mak- .-~ ing any analysis of his statement in r:ﬁrd to each of them, the BANNER - will merely call the attention of its ‘readers to the recommendation ap‘pended to the review of the state of ~ the hospital for theinsane. Of the 365 patients discharged from the institu- ~ tion during the past year, 194 were - eonsidered cured; 45 were described ~ as improved in health, and 92 were deemed unimproved and incurable. ' It is in regard to the disposition to be - made of the last class, which may be - deseribed as the chronic insane, that " the Governor appeals to the Legislature. The statement of the case can .. be best made 'by quoting his own ear-

But a large '»gorﬁon ‘of this class remain unprovided for. They cannot be properly taken care of in the county poor-houses. 'ln hundreds of instances they are a terrible burthen upon families—the objects of ceaseless anxiety. It seems there is no place for them in private life. They become homeless objeets of commiseration and sometimes of disgust. Without the capacity in many instances to preserve decency, they bring shame and humiliation to friends and neigh- : bors. They cannot speak to you. They | ' do not know you, nor do they know that you, the people’s representatives, ' are their guardian. They cannot read the constitutional provision in their - behalf; but you and I can. The honor of th‘e s",ﬁ" &:td :ﬁe hlgx!mnity of the people will n ow these poor unfortunates to be longer neglected. . I believe Indiana is to-day the most prosperois State of the Union.” Her ‘people are liberal and generous in a . eause like that for which I plead. Everybody -else has a home. g’he-e, poor, starless, hopeless wrecks of hug g et e * Nothing need be added to impress for this class of the insane, now left

building of an asylum into which the chronic spano may bo gathete from ‘all quarters, and be sedulously attended and skillfully cared for. Sho'd such a plan be adopted it is obvious that the recommendation of the Governor with respect to the cheapest -and most appropriate site should be o " STATE PRISONS. The penal and reformatory institutions of the State are described as | prosperous, and the only criticism miade is that expressing disapproval of the contract system of the State Pris- { on South, which as now in operation, brings convict laber, hired out to con- { tractors at'a cheap rate, into ruinous | competition with the mechanics of Jeffersonville,. =~ :

‘REORGANIZATION OF THE MILITIA. . During the year the Governor has had to make use of the militia of thé | State in suppressing disorder, and has consequently been “made painfully aware of the fact that it needs a thorough reorgan{zgtion. AT © NEW STATE HOUSE. . , . No subject has occupied more of theattention of the State press for some time past than the proposed erection of a new State House. The Governor ‘expresses himself strongly in favor of building a capitol which shall in ‘somedegree represent the wealth and greatness of the Stateas well as afford suitable accommodations for the State officers and the Legislature. On such ’ a theme no great argument is needed. It is about time to cease carrying on the business of the commonwealth of Indiana in an old rookery whﬁch looks like a yillage court house and is destitute of accommodations for 4 meeting of village trustees. = -~ | APPRAISEMENT OF REAL if'm'ml 'The Governor coneurs in the recommendation of the Auditor| of State that the revemue law of ‘December, 1872, be so amended as to provide for the appraisement of the real estate wvery. fifth :;?ﬂnstead of every secondylar, /oo 7 'LOGAL TAXATION. - =

The Governor calls special attention to the suggestions of the Auditor of State in relation to the necessity of a limit to be imposed upon the power of taxation’' by counties’ and townships, and by cities, in special cases. He also submits for consideration whether the difficulties and probable losses in the collection of the taxes, occasioned by the -postponement of the collection of one-half thereof for six months, is compensated by any adequate advantage of the people. Experience, he says, shows that the provision which allows the postponement oceasions both inconvenience and loss.

APPORTIONMENT.

On two other matters connected with State politics the Governor is equally outspoken. Thefirstis the infamous apportionment of the State made by the Legislature, for partisan purposes and without regard to justice or the rights of the'people of the various districts. “The inequality among many counties,” says-the Governor, “is obvious and gross.” The nature of the fraud he detailed fully in one of his speeches during the last campaign, and nohonest man can hesitate to adopt his recommendation to repeal the law if itsrepeal be possible under the constitation.. . - - o .. " LIQUOR LAW. 5

' 'The second ‘important subject, of State politics on which a reform'is suggested is the temperance legislation of two years ago. The system then inaugurated the Governor pronounces ineflicient’ on account of its want of harmony with public sentiment, and he therefore urges the revision and reformation of the legislation then adopted. His sentiments are in accord with those of Gov. Dix of New York, Gov. Bagley of Michigan and all leading statesmen who have considered the subject. He says: -In the discharge of that duty, you will assume that there are evils to society and to. individuals connected with the traffic in intoxicating liquors which it is the province of law to restrain and prevent. Sales should not ‘be made to boys, and drunkenness should be punished as well as sellmg ‘to.the intoxicated ; and the minor who misreprepresents or conceals his age to obtain liquor should be punished as well as the person who knowingly ‘sells to him. Sales should be forbidden when the public peace or safety requires it. Like other pursuits, it should be suspended after a reasonable ‘hour in the night, so as to avoid: the disturbances incident to the traffic : at that time. It should be made unlawful to buy whenever it is made unlawful to sell, and the punishment shouldb::nﬂmed upon the purchaser as well as the seller. I recommend ‘that a reasonable tax, or license fee, be imposed. It should behigher than heretofore and subject to. forfeiture of the license for disregard of thelaw. ‘That policy will bring alarge revenue _into: the school fund, if so directed, ~and at the same time identify the interests of the party selling with that of society in preserving order and ‘conduct at his place of busine I suggest, for your consideration, wheth:t it is &dtf .pmticabli; to makte a difference of regulation in respect o the ‘sale of vinous or malt liquors mﬁ“tha; stronger and more intoxicating drinks. ‘ ﬂe: ere is *qtgt;eat‘ difference in the egjls that result from their use. -

<THE LOUISIANA USURPATION |- I had infended to restrict this communication to subjects that are of special interest to the State of Indiana, and had writtenell I intended to say when it -became known te the country that free representative government had been broken down in the State of Lonisiana by military violence. It is a fundamental right and essential to free institutions that a legislative bodr shall be the jugge of the qnal}ﬂ ions, elections and returns of its own members. Itis so declared fn our constitution and in ,the constitution of the United States ‘and in the constitution of Louisjana.. 1t is ex?‘.:mive and no power, ‘not -even the judiciary, can interfere with ~or question it.

Executive Department, January 7, 1875. *_fHattie Cone, in the South Bend Tribume.| - 1t is a painful and 'disgusting spec‘tacle, in many families, where the mother is the household drudge, to see the daughters, elegantly. dressed, veclining at their ease, poring over the last novel, or dreamily thumping on a piano,beguiling themselves of the lapse of hpurs, ‘.day_s, weeks and months of | precious time, never dreaming of their own responsibilities; but, as a necessary consequence of neglect of duty, growing weary of their aimless, useless lives, laying hold of every newly invented cosmetic and stimulant, in order to retain their fast-fading beauty, and souse their drooping energies, | and blaming destiny, when they dare not blame their God. for having placed them where they are. These dear, delicate individuals will often tell you with an air of affected ‘sympathy and compassion, (for who can believe it not,) that poor, dear mamma, is working herself to death; yet no sooner do _you propose that they should assist her, in the daily routine of household duties, than they declare she is quité in her element; in short, that she would be perfectly miserable if she had only half so much todo. = . 1 We sometimes listen to these young ladies of whom we speak, and hear ‘them not only acknowledging, but ac1| tually boasting 'of their ignorance of all household duties, as if nothing | would so lower them in the estimation of their friends, as the confession of an ability to bake bread and pies, or | cook a piece of meat, or a disposition to engage in any useful employment. | How many of the young ladies whom | we meet with daily, are to perform | the part of housekeepers, when the ‘| young men who now eye them so admirably, have persuaded them to be- | come their wives? Not many,we fear, for the young men, most eligible for marriage, and who would make the | best and truest husbands, are obliged . | to resort to a life of celibacy, because | their salary will not admit of their | supporting a wife in exiravagance, ' | and keep a servant besides. Industry .| and economy are indispensable in every well regulated household, without which, there is no prosperity or true ‘| happiness. e

Speaking from our own youthful recollections, we are.free to say that taper fingers and lily hands are pretty to look at, with a young man’s eyes, and sometimes we have known the -artless innocence of practical knowledge displayed by a young miss, to appear rather interesting than otherwise. But we have lived long enough to learn that life is full of rugged experience and stern reality, and that the most loving, romantic and:delicate people must live on cooked or otherwise prepared food, and in homes swept clean and tidy by industrious hands. And for all the practieal purposes of married life, it is generally found that for a husband to sit and gaze at wife's taper fingers and lily hands, or for a wife to sit and be looked at and admired, does not make the pot boil, or put the smallest piece of food therein. The married woman is the husband’s domestic faith; in her hand he must be able to entrust the key of his heart, as well as his pantry. +His home, and hopes of future success are in her keeping—his well being in her hand. Girls think of this! Many a marriage begins like a rosy ‘morning, and then falls away like a snow wreath. And why? Because the wife over-estimated the capacity of her husband’s purse to support her in ease and_luxury; hence, her inability to love him with true, wifely devotion, Girls, do not marry for money, or to escape labor, whieh is both honorable and respectable. Remember the old adage, “When poverty comes in at the door, love goes out at the window.”

. “Business is Dull.” {From the Stenben Republican.]

The general complaint is that busi-' ness is dull. There is work enough—more than can be done as would be | desired by almost every farmer, mechanic or laborer. Hard work and plenty of it is just as much a fact as ever, but somehow we hear it on all gsides that business is dull. You see a man from Fremont or Orland e Pleasant Lake and ask him how busi‘ness 1s and he will say, “Well, it is rather dull” Soitisin Metz, Flint, Jamestown, Hamilton and other points in the county where we are wont to enquire about business prospects: and expect the answers to give a general as well as a special reflex of affairs.— There is no lack in the ordinary work of the farming country, no relaxation of the duties which call upon the people. for performance, no lessening of the responsibilities which rest upon each individual member of the community, but times are dull. There seems to be a heaviness about matters generally—nobody pretends to know why but everybody says ‘to his neighbor that such is the case—and neighbors are despondent with each other just because it has become to be the way they talk and feel. : Now it seems as though this state of affairs—more the effect of imagination‘and a misanthropic state of the mind than of actual fact if we could but so realize it—can be materially ‘bettered and positively improved by a little effort on the part of the people todo so. A little healthful effort and determination to step up, out of the despondency which you can’t aceount | for yourself but which you know isto 3_; cﬁ;side}able iext:dnt the fault of inividual feeling-and a disposition to be«h& esied, would a % ‘mn : ‘to the pljosm(iw A'mle‘moref‘of.i‘i determination to bury the past and step right on with lightness and hopefulness would make matters look brighter - and ourselves feel better.— There is every ehance we ever had to have hvely times. There is now a - good opportunity for all' to turn their attention to makifig a much better of things out of what is not by any means the worst condition of affairs, as there év::&w;m ini tthe'n‘lwoﬂ‘d., It gs ‘a postive f t it only needs the ViR, spunk ‘and episit: of & deiw nbars. ago to cmi up t:{lo thgd;omhé‘mi@ us and make us blue.
