On the subject OF sectaran appropriations
the governor says there exists strong and

classes OF its citizens who might otherwise
become charge upon the public To with
draw the states aid from such as these,
would cause some of them great embarTass-
ment and impair their usefulness. At the
same time care should be taken before re-
Iewing these appropriations TO ascertain
that the institutions asking aid from the
treasury are deserving of the states bounty,
and the tendency should be to curtail rather
than Increase these gratuIties, and TO pre-
