The inaugural message Of Gov
lngersoll Of Connecticut, to the Legis
lature Of that State, now in session, is
a somewhat lengthy document. but
comprehensive, vigorous and interest
ing. Coming to the service of a new
year from his two past consecutive
and successful terms, his counsels are
tempered by thorough knowledge Of
the States condition, and his sugges,
tons are all the more valuable on that
account With the various local in,
terests Incidental to every common,
wealth, and existing in large number
in Connecticut, that State is especially
concerned but Gov Ingersoll's views
of those wider interests which the
States Of the whole country share in
common, possess significance that
may be referred to the consideration
of every section and individual in the
nation. He deplores the interference
Of the General Government in the af.
fairs of some of the Southern States,
and ascribes to that invidious policy
much of the depression that has of late
afflicted the North as well as the
South. Unless our system of govern
ment is failure, he knows of no snrer
means to encourage the Southern peo-
pie than to leave them to the guidance
Of their own selt-lnterests under the
Constitution of the United States.
with Intelligence and ignorance, NOR
ality and vice, to take the same chan
ces that have to be taken in all other
States of our Union. On other issues
like currency and kindred interests,
Gov. 1ngersoll reiterates the sound
views that he has so long and stead
tasty held and so frequently expressed.
The message is wise, temperate and
practical in its recommendations,
more valuable even than Its predeces-
a'rs, because coming from man

THE TERRIBLE NEWS CONFIRMED.
LONDON, May s, 1890 p. NJ
Additional particulars thus far re-
ceived of the wreck of the steamship
Schiller show that the disaster is fully
as terrible as first reported. The acct
dent occurred at 10 o'clock last night,
at which hour the steamship struck on
the dangerous Rettarriere lodges near
Bishops Rock. A fog prevailed at
the time. A boat belonging to st.
Agnes, the southermost of the Sicily
Isles, has landed some of the surviv-
ors of the wreck at St. Mary's Island,
another of the Scillys. These suryiv
ors were picked up while swimming
with the tide. They had several mar
row escapes from drowning and were
number of times washed off a rock.
They declare that the number Of lives
lost by the disaster is two hundred.

The Chicago Journal in an intelli-
gent article on '.thc postal service as
index of popular intelligence pays
the following compliment to the read
ing and thinking population of Iowa /;
THE young State of Iowa, with its
Eastern derived population, its free
schools. churches and newspapers

century old-reccives at and sends
forth from its postofiiccs more mail
matter than those Of the entire State
Pennsylvania, although the latter was
one OF the original States of the Union
and has about three times more in
habitants than the former. The rea-
son is that Pennsylvania did not wake
up1o the importance of free schools,
popular education and material pro-
gress until years after Iowa became a
State. Iowa has always given special
attention to free schools. and there is
no State in the Union that has as
many schools and churches. that is i'm
every respect so progressive, or that
has so few people who cannot read
and write. in proportion to its entire
population, as that glorious Young
commonwealth"

The Michigan Giqu0r law.

Michigan, whose organic law for
bids license, having discarded pr0hi.
hitinn, now regulates hy taxation.
The consii,ufionslitr Of the new law
has ins' been affirmed. and il ia said
To hc working admirably. Under
prohibiiian the inicrnai Hevannc
officers repofica GAIA places selling
liqnor in violation OF law, the traffic
amounting 10 S3S,0O0,0A0 annually.
The new law has largely reduced the
number of saloons. Ii imposes a tax
Of $500 on dealcra Of distilled liquors
selling at wholesale. and $l50on retail
dealers; while dealers in malt or
brewed beverages pay. Wholesale 800
rctsil $40. Distillers Of spiriinons
liquors also pay $500 while brewers
OF malt liquors pay from $50 to 5000,
depending on the amount of their
product. No tax is imposed on the
sale of wine or cider made from the
frnits Of the State. Tho assessor of
each township. ward. &C., makes the
roll of those who shall pay tho license,
and turns this over to the County
Treasurer. This plan Is found better
th.n that Of intrusting the matter to
the township officers, who were some
times, it is believed, tho proprietors Of
rnm.holes. Dealers are required TO
give bonds in $1,000, which is found
to be one Of the most effective means
of contracting the traffic.
This is something now, and it OBJ
viates, in part, the objection urged
against license, of sanctioning the
traffic. Let us have candid discus
sion of the merits of this and other
propositions, and let dispntants on all
aides bear in mind that it is possible
for people who are honest and intel
ligent to differ from them in opinion.

GOV. ALLEN did very graceful
act when he appointed Gov. Hayes,
of Ohio. to represent that State in the
Centennial Commission. Now. that
he will be Governor. iet him decline.
and appoint Allen in his stead. That
would be handsome. Will Gov. HAYES
do it :-Bur1ington Gazette.
We do dot know. save by what the
Gdsette says. that Gov. Allen appoint
ed Hayes, bn. taking il for granted
that he did. we do not think that
common deccncy and justice would
be snbserred by the appointment of
Alien to such position. Our reason
Is, thai so long as there are so MANY
good men in Ohio who gave aid to
the Government dnring the rebellion,
II is not fitting that man should be
appointed who. not only refused to
aid the Government in the hour of its
extremity. but who actually did ex-
tend sympathy to our enemies, and
who has never to this day given evil
dencc that he has ever repented of his
course during the rebellion. Had
10y. Allen had his way during the
rebellion, our whole country would
not have had q centennial.
