Ell coming in but preserving these III
Stitulions from harm by rctainga part o f
the appointecS. Long tenure Of office
has invariably produced carelessneS:.,
and the growth ri ";j;Se> and Hcw-
Hrooms sometimes sweep too clean. I
advise that the General Assembly take
steps 10 remedy these defects i'll existing
laws.
THE pENIrENTARY.
Next in magnitude and Importance to
; The asylum, of our public institutions is
! the pcnitentiary. The number of con-
Vi + in the latter is nearly the same as
the ;ticnts in the former and | am OF
the ion that the pcnitcntiary ought,
at leas 90 support the ASYLUM. The re-
suits oi aimed at the Institution have not
been satisfactory to the people. AID the
bane Of its =. =. cement is politics. The
General A>semp.. Wi:cn c;i!cd on to fill
positions Of honor 81 profit, finds itself
bcscigca by class Of men who are hunt
ing 4 soft place. and who have or mako
claims OF individual members for votes

past. or promise of sIch support in the
future. Offices requiring high order Of
business talent are given to men who can
speak well or who have rendered poiiti-
cal services, while they arc wholly lack
ing in administrative ability. This be-
ing the case, it is small wonder that we
80 often find miSmanagement in govern
ment business and incompetent men IN
high offices. This is Il vice that Is irne-
rent in republican government, aid in

Eut the present administration and
the present General Assembly will be
watched by the people as no other in our
history has been watched, and we must
bear always III mind that reform can
not come from any such line OF action.
