A secret society called the Home
Makers has large membership among
the foreigners in the mining districts
OF Pennsylvania. The purpose Of the
organization is to provide and main
tain pleasant homes for it's members
and those dependent upon them, and
as gossipy, careless wives and mothers
are held by them to be the cause of a
majority of the unhappy, ill-kept homes
and neglected children, the society be-
lieves the members have right to use
every possible means to see that their
homes ar not neglected. A member
who corrects his wife by beating her
must do so only after all other means
to induce her to do her duty have
failed. The society pays for the de-
tense of it's members when arrested for
wife beating, and in case of conviction
pays the fine

able progress during the past ten
years, and which will serve, as nothing
else could, to enlarge the confidence Of
the people in the splendid future Of
the young state.
OF the national guard, the governor
says:
mo state in the Union has more rea-
son to be proud OF her national guard
than has North Dakota. since no regi-
ment in the field Of active operations
more fully met the confidence reposed
in them by the people Of the state.
which thy represented. i congratulate
the entire command, officers and mem
alike, upon their courage and efficiency
which has won the good name univers-
ally conceded them. The report Of
Adjt. Gen. Miller makes a full exhibit
Of the details of the organization, and
merits your careful examination"
The authority of the state to regu-
late and control corporations is now
firmly established by the decision OF
the courts. and should be exercised
with f1rmness, Intelligence and discre-
ton.
The governor calls attention to the
rapid growth in railway construction,
and says:
I'VE have to-daya3,O31 miles of rail-
way in operation in the state; yet our
people will hardly be satisfied until
every county in the state is intersected
with railroads. During the two years
past the>assessed valuation Of railroads
has increased from So, 900, 900 to ST., 000,-
900.
Gov. Devine strongly recommends
the passage of some form of a primary
election law.
The prohibitory law, the, governor
says, has undoubtedly been reasonably
successful. He says:
That the principle of the law is still
dominant must be conceded, and the
people remain firm in the determine
ton that prohibition must continue the
order of the state, as they remain
equally firm in their faith that the
pledges of the Republican party will be
kept. I am aware the law is violated
in very many places, but this argues
nothing for it's repeal. The same may
be said of the law against burglary and
other graver crimes, yet none desire
their modification"
The serious illness of Gov. F'ancher,
during his term of Office, says the
governor, was matter of the deepest
regret to the people Of the entire state.
Recent reports indicate his rapid re-
covery, and he hopes to be able to re-
turn to the state, fully recovered, by
the early spring.
Ir' conclusion, the governor says:
II earnestly hope that your united
efforts may be crowned with success.
That YOU will accomplish much is the
hope of those who have honored you
of those you will honor-if, when your
work is done, the Great Master of All,
the Architect and Builder of that sys-
tenn of divine laws whose chief inter-
prefer is the conscience of man, pro-
nounces it We'll done'"

George Benjamin Clemenceau, now a

scant living with his pen, was ten
years ago one of the foremost figures
in French politics. Clemenceau was
thrown up to the surface of affairs by
the revolution of 1870, and from that
time until 1891 he was as conspicuous
as any character in Paris. Arising
with the storm of the revolution, he

LEGISLATIVE EXPENSES.
The clerk hire and expenses of the
legislative assembly is matter that is
closer to you perhaps than any other.
l desire to call your attention to this
question and compare the expenses of
the different sessions. In the session of
1891 the clerk hire amounted to $Io,7o6;
the usual amount of business was done;
there were clerks enough and to spare.
To my own knowledge in that session
we had clerks who did no work except
sign the payroll. The total expenses
Of that session, including committee
rooms, was $52,o4o. Clerks were then
paid 81 more per day than now. So it
seems to me that the expenses of this
assembly should not exceed $4,000. If
you proceed according to the laws upon
the statutes i'll this matter it will be
considerably less than $4,000. The state
needs every dollar that can be saved and
I commend this to your earnest attention.

presents which were displayed in the upper hallway of the house were hand somer and more numerous than any ever seen in Birmingham. From the beautiful array it would seem that every friend in town and out of town had sweetly re- membered the young couple in this sub stantial way. Not only was the collec- ton an unusually large one, but each and every piece of silver, or china, was a rare specimen of art in itself and the collection of cut glass which was most elaborate and beautiful comprised every thing that could possibly be used in the home. The many handsome pieces of solid silver were unusually rare and beautiful. Among the presents also were most exquisite specimens of bronze vases, sets of plates in cases, berry sets pictures, beautiful beyond any possible description or enumeration. If kind words and hearty congratulations have power to win long life, happiness and prosperity. then indeed will the future Of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jemison be filled to overfowing with all the good things of life. The young couple left at late hour on their wedding journey and will not return for some weeks.
