THE NEW GOVERNOR.
From the Philadelphia Times.

We can recall no inaugural address de-
livered by a governor of this state during
the last fifty years that was more
straightforward, manly and unpreten-
tious than that given by Governor
Stone. He tells the plain truth in a
homely and incisive way as to the finan-
cial condition of the state, and proposes
the remedy that would be suggested by
any intelligent and honest citizen of the
state The address from the first to ,he
last sentence is highly creditable state
paper, and all the more so because no at
tempt is made to ombellish it with the
frills of political disputation. Governor
Stone has fairly fulfilled the pledges he
made to the people to arrest the legisla-
tive profligacy that has been so much
complained of for some years past and
what he says he says in the most manly
way. Every sentence relating to proper
economy in the administration of state
affairs has the true ring of honest and
earnest purpose, and the people of the
state will be highly gratifed with this
deliVerance,

Senator German, of Maryland chair
man of the Democratic national commit
tee when the Democratic party won its
first national victory in more than a
generation; the man under whose man
agement in 1854 Cleveland was elected TO
the presidency; who has been for twenty
four years a senator and who stands
higher in Democratic councils today
than almost any other man, says: "If
a Democrat can be elected at Harris

OPINIONS ON QURY.

The heated differences Of opinion in
Pennsylvania as to the character and
public value of Senator Quay lend inter-
est to some estimates of the senator COL
lccted recently by the Philadelphia In
qutrcr among his colleagues at Wash
ington. Senator Allison, of Iowa, the
recognized leader of the senate. says:
I'm any state and at any time. it Is de-
plorable to see party organizations dts
rupted, and party purposes delayed or
deferred, or destroyed by minorties. In
our Republic there never can come Il
time when minority rule can prevail; ana
present and future political parties will
always be obliged to stand together II
they would attain and nfainaln strength
and success. While l would not take
any part in the Pennsylvania situation,
because 1t would be manifestly improper
for any senator to do so, ! do not hesi-
tate to say that ] know, esteem admire
and respect Senator Quay as one of the
most honorable men have ever known,
in public life or in private life. Such
has been my opinion of him for many
years, and nothing has occurred or can
occur to change the feelings Of regard,
confidence and esteem for him which /
sincerely entertain"

OCratic leader of the senate on the ap-
preparation committee, says: II am first

ture. But, If a Democrat cannot pe

Quay on the committee on appropriations
for a number of years. He has never
missed 81 committee Meeting, and has
always worked with great diligence on
the appropriation bills. He is an econo-
mist and has been a faithful guardian of
the interests of the treasury. He has
never advocated an appropriation which
did not seem Immediately necessary for
the public interest: and he has opposed
and defeated many an item which did not
have merit for its object. As a personal
friend l esteem him most highly. He is
certainly a frank honest, reliable man in
whom all senators have complete conf
dence,"

The Speech Making.

Gen. J. H. Baker once more demon
strated his remarkable ability as a
toast master by the able manner in
which he presided last evening. He
spoke eloquently, congratulating the
Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother on
having selected as a location for one of
their hospitals city so well situated
as a railroad center and having such a
splendid corps of physicians as Manka
to. When the Sisters have expended
so much money, the people are con-
strained by every moral sentiment to
give them most cordial and loyal sup
port. One of the brightest jewels that
encircles the brow of the Catholic
, church is this noble Sisterhood estab-
lished all over the world to alleviate
suffering. Gen. Baker said that during
the war he had charge of dozen hos
pitals, where the Sisters of Mercy
fitted up and down the aisles. The
people of the North owe a debt of
gratitude to this class of women which
they can never repay. The people owe
debt of honor to those who have
borne the weight of the struggle in the
cause of this new hospital, to the
Sisters who have come from neigh
boring state and put their money into
it, to the building committee that has
discharged faithfully its duty in the
face of great obstacles, and to John
Klein for his Supreme personal efforts,
leaying his own business to work for
the hospital.
Mayor Currier was introduced as the
first speaker and said that he felt
highly honored to address such an audi
ence He spoke of the spirit of frater.
nifty here exhibited, and said that the
hospital was an evidence of prac-
tical Christianity; being designed to
make life easier for poor, suffering
humanity. This institution is a bless

ing to the city from every point of
view. 1t is worth two street fairs. OBJ
served the mayor, with a merry
twinkle in his eye. 1t is an institution
to which every citizen can give hearty
and loyal support. The mayor pro-
missed that the city officials would ex-
tend any assistance compatible with
their delegated authority. He read a
statement signed by John Klein as
chairman of the building committee,
giving statement of the origin and
inception of the project, and he also
paid tribute to Mr.. Klein for his per-
sonal labor in behalf of the hospital
which he said would be the fittest
monument to preserve his memory
after he shall have passed away.
Bisnop Cotter, of Winona. compll-
mented the toastmaster, who, he said,
had always worked in the interest of
his country and, in the best sense, of
Gen. Baker. He had seldom seen so
hearty and public spirited gathering
as was here assembled. He paid a
compliment to the physicians as being
intensely loyal to everything that
makes for the upbuilding of humanity.
The result of this stands here, and he
hoped would stand for generations to
come. 1t is monument of the large
hearted charity of the people of Man
kato. 1t is one of the best works of
Christ Before His day such monu-
ment was impossible even of concep'
tion. The bishop congratulated the
citizens upon the completion of the
building. It's work has just begun, he
said. 1t is in the beginning of all the
good it has before it. 1t will stand as
teacher in the midst of the COM
munity from this day on, imparting
lessons of charity and eternal love. The
bishop was confident that the seeds of
this gospel would fall on good soil and
produce fruit hundred fold. He
thanked the citizens for the kind and
generous CO operation which they had
given the good Sisters in this work. He
said that he had no words sufficiently
warm and eloquent to express this
feeling.
Rev. Lee W. Beattie brought the
greeting of the churches of Mankato
to the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother
for what they have done in seeking to
fulfill the teaching of Christ. He gave
hearty greeting that they have built
an Institution so we'll equipped to ale
viate the sufferings of those brought
there. He spoke of the devoted work
of the Sisters and urged that the peo-
pie do not forget them, but hold them
in sweetest thought and devoutest
prayer. He congratulated the city on
this .fruitage of the teachings of the
blessed Master.
