in a message vetoing the bill making appro
priation for expenses of the various charitable,

tains approp riations, some of which are obiec
tiOnable, Others not, and are but. a continue
ton OF what he says is q vicious practice o
uniting in one bill for different appropria
tions for entirely diverse objects. He quotes
this method as applied to Congressional appro
priatIons, where it is great bar to satisfactor,
legislation. The most Of the appropriation
in the bill he says are for payment of salaries
expenses and cost OF the supervision of Stat
almshouse, work house, primary schools anC
reform schools, and he estimates the appropr
alton for salaries at 80 per cent of the amount
to be expended for the maintenance of thes
institutions. He is convinced that the Com
mOnwealth employs more officers and agent
than necessary 10 do its business, and that TIN
State institutions are managed with uEneces
sary extravaganza. .
