Governor Robinson Inagurated.-Feat-
 urss of His First Message.
 BOSTON, Jan. 3.-Governor Butler, attend ed by his military staff, was in executive chamber during the morning hours. At H. 80 8. m. Adjutant General Dalton and Surgeon General Cilley waited upon George D. Rob inson, who was at the Fremont house. and informed him that the inauguration csremon- ies were about to be commenced. MT. Rob- inson accompanied these gentlemen to the executive chamber where he was welcomed by the retiring governor, who congratulated him on his accession to office. MT. Robinson was also warmly greeted by many of those whom he had invited to be pres ent and who in accordance with custom had asse mbled in the governors room. In the meantime Charles Robinson, ST., and his wi fe of Lexington, the parents of Gov. Robinson Charles Robinson, jr., and his wife of New ton, Governor Robinson's brother and sister, in-law, Governor Robinson's wife, son and daughter and other members of his family had taken seats in the members galleries. At 1915 D. m. the oath of office was admins tered and Governor Robinson proceeded to read his inaugural address. The message is a rather long document and is confined en- tirely to affairs of the State. He shows that the deficiency in the Hoosac Tunnel loan sinking fund is S4, 5S4, 596, and says: "It must be apparent that no probable increase of net earnings will meet this deficiency, and therefore I submit to you wheth- CT it is not wise to enter upon the of kha cynb fun i-, some other practicable way to provide to meet the whole debt at its maturity, avoid ing, however, 8 sacrifice of the State's prop erty, and holding secure all benefits to the Commonwealth and it's inhabitants guaranteed by the great investments already made. The present fund with it's aeeumulations will be sufficient to pay the installments of debt maturing up to and including April l, 1891, and there will be $827, sos 47 toward the in stallment due July l, 1891. If an annual appropriation be made till the average due date I891), it will require each year $66S,- 691 AS above the present sinking fund and it's accumulations." He favors a consti
 tutional amendment providing for biennial elections and biennial sessions of the legisla- ture. He discusses briefly the needs of the State civil service, and says: "The time had come when the patronage of the State ans the cities and the expenditure of the public money shall not be employed to accomplish
 
 ness. not favor, shall determine appointment
 to and continuance in the service of the State
 or the city. The question is well understood.
 Public sentiment is intelligent and pro- nounced. You have only to agree upon
 practicable and efficient act to remedy these evils, and my approval will speedily come D He favors weekly payments of la6orers in private or corporate employ, instead of pay ments at longer intervals. He alludes to the attention called to the State charitable institutions last year and says the report of the investigating committee can be awaited before any definite recommendation is made, but he suggests that there may be tendency to an unnecessarily large forcs of clerks, agents, assistants, superintsndents and em- ployes appointed by the board under statute authority.
