The Governors Message.

| We desire 10 thank Governor Dln@ley
for the excellent inaugural Which he has
put forth it is excellent m many re-
spects First, the message is thoroughly
non-parti2an, dealing whit the interests of
the State and the people, and not with
| those of 4 party. Second, it confines If
set 10 State topics, lca1 NC national ques-
tons to those officials whose duty it is to
deal with them Third, t is 4 calm, clear
and candid review OF matters affecting the
welfare OF the people Of Name, expressing
views honestly ENTERTAINERS there can be
no doubt, and bearing the evidence Of a
careful study OF The topics discussed.
While we find reasons to differ from The
positions taken by the Governor in some
matters, especially upon tho prohibitory
method of dealing with the evil Of intem-
perancc, it is gratifying to noice that the
messages recognizes the fact that the
question has more than one silc, and that
prohibition is still an experiment
The finances Of the State IRE reported
to be In an excellent condition, ana would
be still more solf the timely suggestions
made in respect to official economy could
be carried out More than one fourth of
the State debt has been cXtinguished, and
the whole VIII be wiped out IN sixteen
years if tho sinking fund can be safely

always 4 temptation to those having ac-
cess 20 il. and some new measures of Sc
ctrlty should be taken An Elder Peck
and satellites would at this time be un-
welcome custodians of the funds
Not Tie least satisfactory portion Of the
message is that which discusses the pres
cnt statutory provisions for the punish
ment OF the crime Of murder The GOV
ernor reviews the anomalous method OF
dealing with capital crimes, as provided
BY law, and recommends that whatever
punishment the Judgment OF the law max
lng power shall award to that class Of Of
tenders shall be made cleal. and certain:
that no review by the executive council.
or anything save the constitutional prerO-
gative of pardon shall stand between the
criminal and his punishment This view
of the matter, our readers will recall. has
been advocated in these columns.
