nAmong the important questions
whichimpcratively require yourearly
consideration and judicious action is
that relating revision and amend
ment OF the existing constitution Of
this State,
"In anticipation Of the possible
failure Of said election Of 1891, the
General Assembly which passed the
act (by two-thirds vote ofeach branch
thereof proposing an amendment to
article TX Of the constitution, and
thereby providing for the taking a
vote Of the people in respect to call
ing a convention at the general cleo
tion. The object Of this proposed
constitutional amendment is to give
the people an opportunity, under the
most favorable circumstances consis-
tent with the public welfare, again to
express their will at the ballot-box
in regard to the calling ofa constitu-
tional convention. This proposed
amendment, before it can become a
part Of the constitution, must first
have been approved by the COVER
nor, and subsequently published for
the consideration Of the people, and
finally ratified by three-fourths vote
OF each branch Of the General As
sembly at its present session.
As my approval of said amend
ment was condition precedent to
your ratification of it, it becomes my
duty to consider not only the general
necessity Of any such action, but also
the suitableness of this particular
measure. Upon reflection l was
favorably convinced in respect &c
both and accordingly gave it my OF
fetal approval; whereuponit was duly
published for the consideration O.
the people, and now awaits your ae
tion in regard to its ratification.
Although the reasons both for and
against its approval we're gravely
considered, yet those in favor Of the
proposed amendment seemed greatly
to outweigh the objections to it. II
view Of the fruitless expense Of the
two recent special elections, and o.
the fact that the result at that o.
1891 came within a few hundred votes
only of the majority required tC
authorize the calling ofa convention
it seems not only judicious but just
to afford to the people, in a safe and
reasonable way (as this amendment
does) favorable opportunity to ex
press their will in respect to con
vention under circumstances which
will be most likely to cause the leasi
inconvenience to the voter and the
least expense to the the taxpayer

vote at a general election, in con

THE JUDICIARY.

The requirements of this occasion
constrain me to direct your earnest
attention to another subject of very
urgent importance.

bill was introduced providing a re-
tirement salary for members Of the
state Judiciary, who, having reached
the age Of seventy years and having
held their commission for ten years

State Hospital at Farnhurst, here
with submitted, sets forth the fact
that 1T is the first Of its kind in the
Unions model home for all the in
sane within the borders ofthe State, 4"
and shows that some gratifying re-
suits have been accomplished since
it was established. An additional
appropriation is requested by the
trustees of the Hospital for the pnr-
pose of erecting separate buildings
for the violent, and purchase gilmore
land to be utilized in the treatment
Of the inmates. This should receive
your serious consideration, as the
needs Of the Institution have the first
claims upon the State for the means
to furnish the proper care and treat
ment of the unfortunate OF our citi
zens, who are deprived of their rea
son, and dependent upon the State
not only for care and support, but
also for protection from themselves

the plan of taking such sense of the
people at a general instead of a
special election, especially if such
plan be sufficiently guarded against
hasty constitutional changes under
the influence of sudden popular ex.

But, upon the present occasion, it
is necessary to determine whether
the proposed amendment to Article
TX should hereafter be permanent

ntion which shall be called to re-
e and amend that entire instru-

COLLEGE FOR coLoRED STUDENTS.

A college for the education of
colored students has been estab-
lished uuder the act of the last Gen
eral Assembly, which in its equip
ment, compares favorably with insti-
tutions of this kind in any State.
The trustees have displayed great
wisdom in their selection Of a site
for the institution and in providing
comfortable and commodious build
ings, with all the necessary equip
ments. The attendance, or number
of students. however, has been a
great disappointment so far, and
the expected benefit to the persons
for whom it was established u CON-
narrative failure. This matter should
receive your careful attention and
earnest endeavors, to secure to those
entitled to enter This institution all

garding the proper construction OF
Article TX, makes express and pre-
else provision for the specific mode
BY which every stage ofthe proceed
ings for the calling and election Of a
convention shall be conducted.
The amendment, in reality, is a
compromise between the conflicting
views Of those who have sought to
secure a convention and early con-
stitutional changes by hasty methods
and an ultra-liberal construction of
Article TX, and those who have
favored more deliberate methods and
strictly conservative construction
thereof BY It the former may Sc
cure the express authority to have
the vote respecting a convention
taken at a general election whilst
the latter may obtain the specific
and deliberate mode by which the
proceedings for the calling and cleo
ton thereof shall be conducted. If
ratified, it will therefore insure the
cooperation of both sides in behal
of a judicious, deliberate and safe
means OF procuring not only capa-
BILE and conservative convention. but
also the subsequent ratification ofits
work.
Having given this important mea-
sure my official approbrtiOn, because
q due regard for the general welfare
a strict fidelity to public pledges and
a wise support of constitutional re-
forms seemed plainly to require its
adoption, 1 now earnestly commend
it to your early and favorable con
sideration.

for instruction equal to to the best

to Gil the long felt want Of addition

The legislature of the State passed
law at the session of 1891 prOvid
ing for the appointment Of a commits
sion to advise with similar commits
sions that might be appointed in
other States. for the purpose of secur-
ing uniformity Of legislation in the
respective States and a greater unan-
unity of law throughout the country
on these matters in which such unan-
unity is both desirable and possible.
This effort for coordinate legislatlo
in the several states, on the subject
of marriage and divorce, the execu-
ton of wills and deeds, notarial GER
tificates, bills and notes, and COM

ELECTION LAWS.
The enactment ofnew election laws
has been productive of manifest adj
vantage, and the experience of the
LAST election held under the registra-
tion law and the Australian ballot
system have given almost unmivod
satisfaction to lew abiding citizens.
The privacy of the voter. and his
right to absolute secrecy, as to his
ballot has been greatly conserved by
the new law which however may pos
sibly be improved by amendment,and
I trust that careful consideration will
be given by your honorable bodies
to such intelligent representations
as may be laid before you suggestive
Ofincreased protection to the secI ecy
of voting; for it is obvious that the
success of bribery and corruption
and intimidation in interfering with
the free and conscientious exercise
ofthe right of suffrage are all dimin-
ished by the sense ofabsolute secrecy
being preserved in the act of voting
COUNTY GOVERNMENT.
The growth of wealth and popula-
tion in the city of Wilmington and
county of New Castle, made it OBJ
viously necessary that the machinery
of county government, which had
heretofore sufIiced for a comparative.
~ rural community, should be re-
formed sufficiently to adapt itself to
the newer and more complicated
modes of the transaction of the in.
creased volume of public business.
The operation of the new laws, SO
far as they have progressed, have
been exceedingly satisfactory, and it
is believed will result in removal OF
all alleged abuses and a reformation
thoroughly consistent with honesty
and economy IN the collection oi
taxes and the general administration
the affairs of New Castle county
The collection of taxes has been eff
ciently accomplished, with economy
in gratifying contrast with former
years, and the checks, established by
law, upon the action of indepedent
officials. must necessarily tend to ac
curacy, honesty and economy in the
transaction of affairs.
MILITARY.
No state should be without well
regulated militia and one upon which
it can depend in any emergency re
quiring military interference. Un
der our system of revenue the taxes
derived from our railroads alon,
more than defray the expenses o
the state government, in. luding tn,
Judiciary, the executive and the leg
! islative departments, which is an ad
ditional reason why the State should
be in position to suppress riots ant
disorder, and thus protect our great
est source of revenue. 1 respectful

panying report Of the adjntant-gen
eral, and submit this matter to you

TAXATION.

That much interest has been taken
bv the citizens of this State in the
subject is evidenced by the fact that
they had bill prepared and intro
duced in the House Of Representa-
tives during the last session Of the
General Assembly, which provided
for a change of the general basis of
taxation in the several counties of
the State by including therein all
productive investments. In view of
the Importance of such a measure,
and the diversity of opinion as to its
advisability, it was deemed best to
appoint commission, with author
ity to investigate and consider the
entire subjeet,and report to the next
General Assembly. Accordingly a
commission was formed whose report
will be submitted to your honorable
bodies.
In making revision Of the tax
laws, however, so as to subject in
vestments to their operation, you
should consider we'll whether il
would be expedient to make them q
part Of the common basis Of taxa
ton. You should ever keep in mind
