This State has in recent years expend-

Works, under the act of 1888; and in 1898
passed law providing for the expendi-
ture by a Debris Commissioner of a quar-
ter of a million of dollars for the pro-
lection of the sources of our rivers, while
upon the navigable portion of those rivers
themselves they have not expended for
years past one dollar. Our rivers are the

The State Printer.
In his report of 1896 the State Printer
said the Legislature of 1887 could easily
save $50 900 in its printing bills The same
Legislatures experts pointed out how
from $l5 900 TO 500 900 more, also, might be
saved. Neither suggestion was acted on.
The Legislature appropriated for the
State Printing Office.

school book fund. This was not
needed. The revolving fund was sufficient

troller had stricken this item from his es-
Inmates as unnecessary, and this year
omits a recommendation in its favor. My
veto of this item was a saving of $40 600
which added to the above admitted posi-
bic savings would aggregate nearly $50 900
had there been any desire to economize
Second-The Legislature also included
an item of $275.000 for the printing office

office until the session of the present Leg

Among the praiseworthy acts of your
administration We are confident that you
will look back with more satisfaction to
none than the effort you have made TO
remove the prisons of this State from
politics. At the outset you advised the
wish that no official that was performing
his duties acceptabiy should be disturbed
in his position. This rule it has been our
pleasure to enforce. AS a result we can
report that the efficiency of the service
at both prisons has never before reached
so high a point, and that this is due TO
the fact that subordinateS understand
that their tenure of office depends en-
tirely on their own trustworthiness, there
can be no manner of doubt. Having some
personal knowledge on the subject we I'M
hesitatingly assert that the prisons are
the last institutions in which the official
lists should be held out as prizes for
dealing with the complex problems of
convict life are rare, and when found
