In sharp contrast TO the terse treat
ment Of public questions by Governor
Rich Is the laudatory defense II demo-
cratic measures and the references in
detail to each public institution by ex-
Governor winsns. Not to say that the
lstter's message 10 mediocre in ito treat
ment Of the several topics, but his sep
arate and distinct references TO each of
them could better be condensed into
one comprehensive paragraph. With
out credlting the true sources for econ
omy IN the management Of Jackson
prison. Governor WInans boasts that
for the past two years. for the first
time IN its history, that institution has
been self-sustairing. For many years
the necessities Of that institution have
demanded repeated repairs, additions
and internal improvements. These
have been q continuing source of
expense. When the democrat war
den entered the prison he found
It in perfect condition. An
expensive system of modern sewer
age was finished. The new cell block
was ready for occupancy. The system
for purchasing supplies had been re-
duced to an exact science, by which he
has since profited. The discipline was
admirable. The wholesome infu-
ences of well-kept library and oppor-
tunity for education were exerting
themselves to their fullest potency.
In short the republican management
OF the prison had brought it to the
threshold of self-maintenance when
the democrats took possession. They
have reaped the fruit of others intelli-
gence and business ssgaclty. Conditions
being tho same the wardenship of Mr..
Davis in comparison with that of his
immediate predecessor is . compare
tive failure. He has saved few dol.
lars by pursuing the policy established
by Warden Hatch in the purchase OF
supplies But the discipline has deter
iorated and the escapes have been
numerous. The awful killing OF
Cuddy and other brutal attacks by
convicts show the lack of discipline.
Governor Winans overlooked these
things to compliment himself and the
warden. There are no other features of
the message worthy of special note ex.
cept it be his somewhat impatient refer
ence to long sessions of the legislature.
Governor Winans thinks, or at least he
says he thinks, that the free railroad
pass is largely responsible for long
sessions. He intimates that if tine
Legislators were compelled to pay
their fares to and from home the Fri.
day adjournment would be abolished
1t is probable that until the per diem
rate of compensation 10 increased. the
free pass evil will continue to flourish
Mr.. Winans' message is we'll written.
We're his conclusions less partisan, no,
to say self-laudstory, it would com.
pare favorably with his preceding com.
positions.
