Revision of the Lava.

The report of the Senate Committee on Re-
vision, created two years ago by resolution
of that body. is in your hands. Bills cover
ing the several subjects considered are like
wise submitted. The report having been
very wisely given to the public some time
ago through the press, no extended reference
thereto seems necessary here 1t is, how
ever, due to say that the committee has
larored indu>trously in the discharge of the
task imposed upon it, and the results of its
deliberations as reported are entitled to
your most earnest consideration. The
measures submitted are all designed to pro.
mote economy and efficiency in the transac-
tion of the business of the State, particularly
in tie Management of its various Institutions

comprehensive character of the report is in

Prohibition.

During the past year the cause OF prohibit
tiOn has been assaulted from a new direc-
tion. The so-called "original package" de-
cision of the supreme Court of the United
states, promulgated in April, 1890, was a
severe and unexpected blow at our prOhib
itury legislation, denying, as it did, the power
Of the State to prevent the importation of in
tUXicatiDg liquors from sister State and the
sale thereof in unbrokcn original packages
The sudden invasion of the State by liquor
dealers from abroad, and the setting up of
"Original package" houses: the profound
feeling produced among our people, and the
litigation that ensued-all this, together with
the final relief which came from Congress
sional action, is very fully rected in the re-
port of Attorney General Kellogg, who mer-
its special commendation for the fidelity and
ability with he performed the duties and
extra labors imposed upon him in this emer
gency.
On the sth of August, 1890, the Wilson bill
passed Congress and became "A law. In brief,
it subjects intoxicating Liquors transported
into a State for sale TO the operation of
the laws of such State, when in origins
packages or otherwise. This act was hailed
and regarded at first as a fortunate and
final settlement of the veNed question. But
the Wilson law was soon to be challenged.
One Rahrer. agent for Il Missouri liquor
house, having been arrested after the
passage of the act in Congress in question,
and charged with selling liquor in original
packages in Topeka in violation of the Con-
stitGtion and laws of Kansas made applica-
ton to the United States Court for u writ of
hIbeas corpus. On the hearing before
Hon. c. &. Foster. Judge of the United
States District Court for the di. rrict of Kan
sas, Attorney General kellogg and Il. Il.
Welch ESQ. county attorney for shawnee
County, appeared for the State. And after
very full argument the prisoner was dis
charged, the court holding that our prohibit
tory law must be re enacted to make it cover
sales in original packages. An appeal from
this decision on behalf of the State has been
perfected, and the case is now pending in
the Supreme Court of the United Stales.
The "orginal package" business, at best
odious and repugnant to our Constitution
and laws, rapidly degenerated into Il revolt
ing exhibition of the dehumaniZng charac-
ter of the liquor traffic in whatever form:
and the radical temperance sentiment of the
State was undoubtedly materially strength
ened and solidified by the whisky invasion
and the violent and prolonged agitation of
the people which followed.
The statements of the county attorneys of
the state, as published in the report of the
Attorney General, show that temperance
legislation Is being generally enforced; and
It may be added that despite the desperate as
sault upon prohibition during the past year,
it still stands firmly entrenched as the policy
of :be State, and sustained by the Judgment
OF a large majority of the people.

The NORMAL SCHOOL.
EIeemosynary Institutions.


1t is gratifying to state that the manage
mrnt of our ght benevolent institutions
has been frugal, efficient and iudiciOus.
Their condition, both as regards the care of
the inmates and the financial affairs pertain
ing to their maintenance, is set forth in the
very comprehensive report of the Board of
trustees in charge, covering the past two
years. careful study of this report, to-
gether with such visitation as it is your duty
to exercise during the session, is absolutely
essential to an accurate understanding of
the present conditions and future needs of
these great charities.
1t is noteworthy and characteristic of the
wise financial policy of the board of trustees
that of the S7sl, ,sS6.u II appropriated two years
ago for the support of these charities, an un
expended balance of S5O,-i9.SS has been re-
turned to the State treasury. The average
number cared for annually in the eight insti-
tutions during the two wears WAS 1888 at a
net total cost of s672 Os5.6l the per capita cost
being sI1S.s0 The average number of in
mates cared for during the preceding two
years was l,60', at a cost per capita of 1854
a marked increase in one direction, and a
gratifying decrease in the other.
Including officers and employees there are
nearly $500 inhabitants in our eight eleemo-
synary institutions.
THE INSANE AsYLUMs.
The order, discipline and general condition
of these asylums is reported as excellent.
The average number cared for during the BIZ
ennial period at Topeka was 123, and at Osa-
watomie SOFA total of l,227; somewhat in
excess of the maximum capacity, stated to
be ZOO During the two years, as stated by
superintendent Eastman, l95 applications
for admission have been either rejected for
want of room, accepted upon removal of
other patients, or suspended. Hundreds of
insane are being kept in the county jails and
poor houses for lack of room in rhe asylums.
Though the demands were tnen urgent, the
last Legislature made no provision for ad"i-
tional buildings for the insane. The needs
in this direction have grown with time, and
there should be no further delay N the dis
charge of our manifest duty to these unfor-
tunate people.
DEAF AND DUMB INSTITUTE.
This school is prosperous, under the su-
perintendence of Mr.. Walker, whose very in
teresting report must be read to properly
understand the important work being done.
The average number of pupils during the
two years reported was 2ls, representing
seventy counties of the State. The central
building, for which the Legislature of 1887 ap-
propriated s5I 900, has been completed, and
$500 appropriated by the last Legislature has
been iudiciously invested in a well selected
library. While the school seems to be full,

THE STATE SOLDIERS HOME.
The State Penitentiary.

The financial affairs and general condition
of the penitentiary are faithfully set forth
in the accompanying reports of the board of
directors, warden and other officers, and the
showing is eminently satisfactory. The
biennial period covered by the report en-
braces the last ten months of Captain John
ii. Smiths wardenship, and fourteen months
of the term of Colonel George Ii. Case, the
present warden, who, with the valuable aid
of Deputy Warden John Higgins and other
faithful subordinates, has iully maintained
the deseryedly high standing of the institu-
tion as a model prison.
During the first year of the biennial period
there was received in cash and paid into the
State treasury from contract labor, boarding
United States prisoners, sales of coal, and
from other sources, the sum of Sl03 So ~.
During the second year of the period, the
amount received in cash and paid into the
State treasury, from the same sources, was
slt5. .25S 10.
The expenses of the institution for the first
of these years exceed the cash sceipts as
above given by S6O,976.i2, and the expenses of
the last year exceed the cash receipts by
s,S29 36
The total number of prisoners from the
various counties of the State in custody June
80, 1888. was Ss7 The number received during
the ensuing two years was SO; number dis
charged during the two years was 102 The
number in custody June ~, 1880. was so. On
the lst of January, 1887, there were s75 State
prisoners confined in the penitentiary; on
the lst of January, 1885, there were S9s on the
30th of June OF that year, there were ss7; on
January /, 1883, there We're S6l; and June 30,
1899 the number, as before stated. was SEQ.
These figures indicate slight falling off
tendency in our State prison population since
1887. The board Of directors report the health
of the inmates, and every thing pertaining
to the institution, as in excellent condition.

State at the Court House-Throngs of
People Take a Last Look-BuriedsFrom

The Remains of Richard Johnston Lie in
State at the Court House-Throngs of
People Take Last -BuriedeFrom
st. p ter's Church.
The remains of District Attorney Richard
II. Johnston were buried yesterday from
st. Peters Episcopal Church. As 1l:30
o'clock the remains were placed on the
first landing in the great rotunda at the
Court House. As soon as the casket was
opened an immense throng gathered and
commenced to file past for a last look at the
most brilliant and best-liked District At
torney this county has ever had. All classes
and conditions came, from stern judges and
proud men of wealth down to the poor and
ragged. In the countenances of all were
visible sorrow and regret that the great
heart and brilliant intellect of "Dick"
Johnston were stilled forever
The casket remained in the rotunda until
1:50, a constant stream of people passing. At
that hour the members of the bar gathered
and filed across the street into st. Peters
Episcopal Church. where the family and
friends had already arrived. Following the
members of the bar came the Criminal
Court officers in uniform. Behind them
came the pallbearers carrying the remains.
They were taken into the churc h, which was
crowded to the doors, and the beautiful and
impressive Episcopal funeral services were
held.
The services were conducted by Rev. Mr.,
Mackey, rector of the church. At the con-
place. in Allegheny Cemetery. The inter
ment was private
A committee of five were there to repre-
sent the bar of Armstrong county, among
them Ross Reynolds and Mr.. Burlington.

traffic, Mr.. McKenna said there was no con-
troversy, but there arises nice question as
to whether the new law does not override
the interstate commerce law and thus con-
flict with general government regulations.
A Pincher on the Traffic.
Mr.. McKenna agrees with many other peo-
pie that the law is a pincher on the liquor
trade. 1t supposed that the proposed en-
actment was nothing serious and rested
easy, but in the last days of the Legislature,
when liquor dealers had neglected to pro-
pitiate certain people, a law was thrust for
ward and passed to punish them for neglect
to come to the center and now the question
as to whether people with good records shall
be allowed to go on with their business or be
subjected to heavy loss is left to the discre-
tion of the Judge, who, If he. be of proh1bl-
tion proclivities, may destroy the business
altogether in any given locality. Mr. Nc
kenna agrees with Messrs. Fetterman and
Robb that the law is already operative, ex-
cept as to the amount to be paid for license.
Andrew Bryce, the temperance worker,
simply observes that "the way of the trans
gressor is hard" and he doesn't seem IN
clined to shed tears over the tribulation OF
the men in the business he fights.
1t is said the next License Court will be
held by a Judge of Common Pleas No. as

makes break in the old arrangement of
holding the Quarter Sessions Mr.. Robb said
he thought likely that either Judge Collier
or Judge Slagle would preside at next term.

AvACATIoN FOR CAMERAS.

The Week Following the Commencements
Gives Photographers Rest.
"If the camera survives the graduation
period it is good for the rest of the year."
jocosely remarked a Pittsburg photographer
yesterday. The June siege is always very
severe on that important factor in our bust
ness, though 1 am happy to say we came
through the month nicely, in spite of the
fact that pretty girls in pretty gowns taxed
greatly our powers of Photographic endur-
ance. Graduating classes, though, make
fine pictures, and there's considerable money
in them, for each one of the class wants
several pictures. The negatives of brides,
bridal parties, sweet graduates or gradual
ing classes are always valuable.
"a negative never reaches the acme of
value, though, until the original has passed
to the other shore. Then if the deceased is
or very popular in social life, the negative
becomes priceless, both to the friends of the
dead and the late photographer. The late
District Attorney Johnston must have been
one of the most popular men in the city,
Judging from the enormous demand for his
picture. Fortunately an excellent likeness
was obtained of him at the time of his cleo
tion. Pictures of Detective Gilkfnson, too,
have been largely III demand and it seems
sadly happy coincident that he should have
had a sitting just previous to his sudden
