5 The protest, so lately and so decisively
uttered by the people against extravagance
in . national expenditures, deserves to be
heeded by us. A comparison of the past with
the present state expenditures will convince
you that they are increasing in a far greater
ratio than our business or population, and
can but impress upon you the necessity of
favoring their reduction in every possible
and proper way.
HUMANS AND 0mm: msrl'ru'rrous.
. The largest-item in the list of expenditures
is, as'it should be, for charitable, humane
and reformatory purposes. It amounts to
ever $276000. 11; includes the cost for the
care of 380 boys in the reform school; 183
girls in the Industrsi School, 1,079 insane
persons in the hospital at Middlclewn, 28 in,
the retreat at Hartford, 24 in hospitals out-
side the state, 57 imbeciles in the school
{at ‘ 'Lakeviile, 146 sick and wounded
soldiers in hospitals, 100 soldiers’ children
in different towns; 10 blind persons at
Boston; 51 deaf and dumb at Hartford,
and 241 paupers at Tariflville. The people
are able and willing to continue their gener-
ous support to the Slate institutions to which
these beneficiaries belong, but rightfully re-
quire that watchfulness be continually ’exer-
cised over their internal management, and
care taken to avoid other than necessary and
specific appropriations in {their favor. Mon-
eys given to support such institutions should
be treated as a sacred fund, and religiously
guarded against the growing evil of extrava-

be asked for any of these institutions, except
$30,000 for the construction of two cottages
at the reform school, required for the exten-
sion of a new system of care and reformation
already entered upon, and esteemed by oili-
cers and trustees of great advantage to the
school as a reformetory.

taining itemized statements of their condi-
tion and explanations of their Wants, are

Assembly. I do not deem it necessary to refer

While the board of charities deserves the
.most grateful recognition for its benevolent
‘services, it cannot be expected to exercise
.the efficient supervision over our charitable,
reformitory and penal institutions that other
states secure by the employment of a super-
intcndant, whose whole attention is given,
under the direction of a competent board, to
thedischnrge-of the same duties "as the law
imposes upon our board of charities. It is
estimated by the commission appointed to
ascertain the number of neglected, misused
‘and dependent children in the State and to
report some plan to properly care for them,
that 5,000 come within the scope of their —in-
.‘quiry. It is to be hoped that by your legis-
. :lation something will bedone to save these
unfortunates from the associations of the
poor houses and the temptations to which
Qwerty and neglect now expose them.

form school, upon attaininacreditable posi-
tions by goodconduct in the institution, have
no homes or means to support themselves
and the same is true to some extent of girls
discharged from the industrial school at
Middletown.
In other States, boards of charities, aided
as I’ have said, by competent superinten-
dents,‘ are able to provide, in many cases,
homes for neglected children in private fam-
ilies and employment llor inmatesvof their

selves worthy of recommendation. thereby
saving the State the expense of their con-
tinued support and administering charity in
the most practical way by helping its sub-
jects to provide for themselves. , ,

large and the cost of their care so great,
that it may _be well for you to consider the
States wise and economical.

The judicial expenditures for the year
ifie $283,207.79, being $31,402 more than
been of the previous year. A large propor-
tion of these expenses arises from a class of
A,
' criminal cases appealed from justices of the

of a sound discretion, are nailed before trial.
If the law were so changed as to compel
towns and dities to pay the costs accrued be-
fore appeal, to be reimbursed in case the
state received the same, it is believed that
withcutinjury to justice the number of such
cases '.would be greatly reduced, the public
envedjlfrom a large expense and the people
protected from 7a multitude of unnecessary
, 5:: 4'39. petty prosecutions.
ARRANGEMENT or TERMS .
Whilcithe state obtains in judicial services
at asjmrjall an expense as is consistent with
the subilbtence of the judges and the dignity
of their office, the terms of court are so in-
conveniently arranged that a considerable
portion of their time, so valuable to the
state, is absolutely wasted, expense to the
state and to suitors increased and the settle-
ment of litigation unnecessarily postponed.
I recommend the passage of a. law providing
that the Superior Court, likc‘Courts of Ad-
mirslt , shall be always open, that complaints
-Iehali' returnable on a certain day in each
month .and that the judge shall anuslly fix
the times of the sessions of court in each
county for the trial of cases. This subject of
judicial expenditure will undoubtedly receive
the attention ef the able commission on crim-
inal procedure appointed by my distinguish-
ch predecessor and their report on this, as
well‘as on other matters, will deserve your
attention. ' . ‘

" - It has cost for the education of the 121,185
children in the public schools for the last
year, $1,563,065.16; of this sum the State
paid $222,773. 1 have no suggestidn looking
towards the reduction of this expenditure to
submit. I apprehend, however, that there
is no labor of legislation, if well done, that
will'bemore useful than that which is given
to this ’very subject. Fortunately the com-
mission charged with the duty of recom-
mending such fnrthsr or different legislation,
as they may think best for the educational
interests of the State, have given the matter
their careful attention and you will have the
nid'oftheir valuable report in, relation, to it.
=I'hesitate to make specific suggestions as to
changes in our- system of public education.
It is a subject about which our. best educators
unhappily disagree, but I feel safe in saying
that the State Board of Education should
consist of those only whose other engage-
ments will not interfere with the actual per-
formance of their duties. The statistics
n’n'ho'wi'ng the liberality of the people in pro-
viding means for the support of'the public
schools and the remarkable proportion of the
children who attend them, are not only inter-
esting but 5'i'tj‘r_'ipreisive, This great interest
of public education should above all others
be managed with the most sturdy, practical:
commonseensci? The purpose of all legisla-
tive action and control should be to provide
the children in our. commonschools, not with
a superficial knowledge of many things, but
with a thorough knowledge of the common
rudimentary branches of an English educa-
tion. Au ambitious boy, possessed of even
.tirpse. rude weapons, goes from thecommon
zeohools well armed for the earnest battle of
idfiierican life. . .
n addition to the cost of public schools
the State expended for public education
$49,500 for the Normal school, $5,000 for
the Storrs Agricultural School and $8,388.03
forthe Board of Education. 2 '
. .. ’ ,‘s'ra'ra NORMAL cannon.
. The amount charged to the Normal school
includes the cost of a building now nearly
completed, toward the expense of which the
town of New Britain contributed twentydlvc
thousand dollars .and for the furnishingaud
equipment of whigh you will be asked to

the'ch‘ ter of‘the school that should be
understood and appreciated. .
STORES AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL.
_ rrs Agricultural School, now in the
secondi~2 ‘ar of its struggling infancy, has
Ithfébftéachers and eighteen pupils.. It re-
ceived last year five thousand dollars from
the State, a little less than three hundred
dollars for each pupil. It is feared that an.
‘t
' him, wherever it may be and of whatever it
- "open the. discovery that property subject to:
adoption of a system that has proved in other
of artillery, cost the State during the year
$158,182.96. 'The commutation 'tax,
amounting to $93,625.45, nearly equaled the
usunl'expenscs. The excess is due to the
expenditure of $50,000 for armorics and
$10,000 for a camp ground at Niantic. It is
thought that the commutation tax for this
year, estimated at $103,288.00, will be suffi-
cient to meet expenses. The National Guard
has for years been steadily improving in
character, discipline and equipment. It is
10-day in such fortunate condition that the
whole force could be mustered at any place3
in the State accessible by rail, in less than
eight hours, in every way prepared for field
service. '
This fine body of soldiers. many of whom
have._donc service on the field of battle. de-
serves the continued support. of the Slate
and is entitled to the respect the people have
always entertained for it. The colored troops
of this organization, I understand, have not
heretofore been encamped min the Brigade
Whatever may be the reason for this exclu—
sion, it should not be longer permitted. '
RAILROADS, INSURANCE COMPANIES AND BANKS
The Railroad Companies contribute in tax:
alion towards the expenses of the State,
$484,732 42. The Insurance Companies, in-
cllidlut: Fire and Life, Foreign and Domestic,
$342 331.99 and Savings Banks $252,886.10.
I‘uc heiness of the railroads during.the year
has increased in a ratio corresponding with
the general business in the State, although
the report of the Commissioners shows that
the usual percentage of net profilghas not
been maintained.
The Life and Fire Insurance Companies
are among the most. prominent corporations
of the State—some of them the largest and
most prosperous 'in the world. The last 1'c-.
port of the Insurance department shows that
the Fire Companies had over $23,000,000 of
assets and the Life Companies over $105,-
000,000. .
The Savings Banks of the Stale have on
deposit over $84,000,000, the largest amount
ever held by them. There are-187,471 de-
positors each having less than $500 to his
credit and 50,522, each having over that sum.
These three great monetary interests, that
pay in taxation more than five-cighths of all
the expenditures of the State are under your
control. The same care to avoid experiment
tal legislation and the same liberal policy"
of control that has characterized the p‘hstand
to which they largely owe their present pros-
perity, should be continued. They should
receive such protection and be subject to
such restrictions, as will, without doing in
justice to them, best promote the interest of
the State.
The omission to mention other institutions
and interests of the State is not from any de-
preciation of their importance. 1 shall
hereafter, if occasion justifies, call your at:
tention especially to them.
TAXATIONa
Equal in importance to economy in expen-
diture is equality in taxation. Thecxisting
laws requiring taxpayers to report to asses-
sors a list of their property liable to taxation
practically makes every taxpayer his own
judge on a question often difficult to decide,
and one in which his pecuniary interest tends
to warp and embarrass his judgment. The
records of our ProbateCourts in the settle-
ment of the estates of decssed persons fre-
quently disclose the fact that ,large amounts
of property, Owned by men of standing and
character, have for years escaped taxation.
I recommend the passage of a lnw‘ requir-
ing that the taxpayer, under adequate pen-
alty, either‘in person or by list, shall report
to the assessors all the. property mined by
may consist, and that the assessors shall do-
cide all questions of exemption subject to
review by the board of relief.
The law now sufiiciently provides for the
recovery of a debt with interests and costs,
but furnishes no remedy in case property
,escapes taxation'even through the mistake or
wrong of the taxpayer himself. To remedy
a defect so obvious and important, I recom-
Kintend the passage of a law providing that
taxation has not been assessad, the town in
which such property was taxable may re-
cover in an action at law, of such owner or
his estate, an amount equal to the tax which
would have been assessed upon such prop-
erty had the owner thereof. reported the
same to the assessors. The enactment of
these proposed amendments would, it is be-
lieved, largely increase the amount of prop-
erty’assessed, and justly reduce the taxes of
the great majority of taxpayers whose only
property is continually exposed to the view
of the absessors. ‘
The Ihpprehension sometimes expressed
that capital will be driven from the State by
the rigid enforcement of our laws on taxation
ought not to be entertained. If the laws on
this subject are unjust, they should be altered
or repealed ; if not, they should be enforced
against property, whether as visible as a
farm or as easily concealed as a railroad bond
or stock certificate.
Other States have adopted the policy of
exempting from taxation, under certain cou-
Iditions, investments of capital in vessels, thus
.giviug in some measure ucéded‘encouragc-
ment to their maritime commerce. I Room-
mend that you consider the expediency of
such policy, that it may, if found advisable,
be adopted by you.
SUNDAY LAW.
Our laws in relation to the proper observ-
ance of Sunday are so incongruous that I
feel compelled to urge their correction and
amendment. They now permit after sunset
on Sunday the manufacturing establishment
to be put in operation, the workshop opened,
the goods of the merchant exposed for sale,
and even a claim for debt to be secured by
attachment; while they forbid attendance at
a concert, however sacred, or at a public
entertainment, however quiet, orderly and
instructive. They permit, by late amend-
ment. travel on Sunday, but-impose a fine of
twenty dollars upon the owner of a vehicle
who allows a person to. travel therein. .1
recommend the alteration of these laws so
that on Sunday night the same immunity
shall be given to attendance at a public cou-
ccrt, or any other orderly, instructive and
moral entertainment, that is now enjoyed
during the name hours by'the manufacturer,
the merchant, and the sheriff in their several
secular occupations; and that the law inflict-
ing a fine (in the owner ofth'cvehicle the
traveler uses on Sunday, shall be repealed.
The am§ndment proposed will disturb‘neithcr
the quiet worship of God nor the needful
rest of man on the day set apart for both.
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.
An- amendment to the Constitution pm-
hibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxi-
eating liquors.will come before you far final
legislative action. The Constitution, ratified
and adopted by the people themselves, clearly
provides, as it seems to me, that proposed
amendments can only be submitted to them,
when each house of the Assembly, by a. two-
matter ofrthenamendment itself. If this is a
correct view of your constitutional oblige-
tion, it follows, of course, that you cannot
vote for this amendment’ unless, in your
opinion. it ought to be adopted "byzthelpeople,
and you would do vote -,yours‘e'lv’é's‘ (id-the
questionaa’clectors at th'epplls. - Your failure"
to approve of. this proposed amendment
would not, in my opinion, injure the cause
of morality or. temperance, for experienCe
teaches that, howevercas‘y' it may be to
arouse the sentiment of a people to adopt
such an amendment, it is impossible after
its adoption to effectually enforce it. In this
State there is little occasion forconstitutionai
prohibition. The General Assembly may, if
in their opinion it is wise to do so, enact a
law prohibiting the manufacture and sale'
of intoxicating liquors under the constitution
as it is, and every town can prohibit the sale
of liquors within its own limits under the
laws as they are.
. 1.10st1: LAW.
The consideration of proposals to alter and
amend existing laws in relation to the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicating liquors will
be likely to tax your patience and test your
wisdom. .The public sentiment of the State
is manifestly in' favor of a license law that is
liberal and reasonable, yet restrictive; that.
recognizes‘ the right of. local probibition,I'as‘
the law now does, and favors the sure, every“-
where, of lager beer, cider, and the lighter
wines over other intoxicating liquorsas'the .:
existing law fails to-do. If this public-
sentiment is not what it should be, We must
look for its elevation more to the teachers of
morals than the makers of law. Careful
examination of the law leads me to offer
some suggestions concerning it. If licenses
should be continued in force, unless revoked,
until the licensee failed to pay the fee rc-
qulred for renewal, or until the town in
which the business is located voted adversely
on the questiou of license, the duties of the
licensing power would be greatly lessened,
and the large expense of its exercise reduced
in [proportion without conceivable injury to
the law itself. The efiiciency of a license
thirds vote, shall approve of the subject-_ .
picion of personal prejudice, or partisan bias;
and familiar; by the exercise of crimjidal
jurisdiction, with the evils‘ this limit; i11—
tcnded to remedy. The Superior Court,
when the necessary rearrangement of ils
terms is perfected, could especially, if the
provision for the continuance of licenses
were adopted, easily attend to this duty, as
it Would by so doing, it may he reasbnably.
trial of cases arising from the violation of
this very law; yet the court would in tl_115,,_
as in other important matters, if occasron
required, employ the aid of a committee,
appointed by itself, to report facts in relation
to applications. It would be wiser and more
economical, if found necessary. to cIcct. an
additional judge than to continue to impose
upon county commissioners duties, for the
performance of which, for their luck of legal-
cducaiion and experience, they are especrallyII
untitled. If jurisdiction ,in this matter were
given to the Superior Court, the, attorneys
for the State should appear for the people 10»
prevout the success of improper applications.
The discharge of these duties would not
lessen the dignity of the court, while it
would be promotive of the good order an
we]! being of Society. -_
The requirements of endorsers upon appli-
cations for licenses is a better test of the
applicant's energy than of his fitness. ._ If the
Superior Court were to hear and decide ap-
plications upon their merits, the reason for
this requirement would cease, and the law
should beamended accordingly. I-_,I“rIecoIm-
mend the enactment: ofga- lawemh'odying
these views, and providing further that no
license shall be granted except—after notice of
the application in a neWspapcr published in
the town or county. where the applicant
resides, and after notice to the attorfr‘IeyIfor
the State for such county. If the granting.
of licenses should not be transferred to the
Superior Court, the power to revoke them
most-certainly should be. The power may
sometimes involve largo loss of capital 111-.
vested in lrnses, fixtures, and stock. It
should only be exercised aftern licenseb‘haa
been found guilty of violating the law, ass
discretionary part. of. the punishment im-
posed by the court having cognizance ‘of the
facts proved -on the" trial.’ I cannot antici-
pntc the character of other. alterations that
may be proposed, o'ryour action in regard
to them, butthere is no apprehension that
you will submit, for executive approval,
legislation that does not recogniZe the right
of a citizen in a free State to the utmost
liberty of personal action consistent with the
good order of society, or that will tend to
encourage the evils of intempersuce,...thc.
statistics of which are appalling. .
oovanxox’s SALARY.
The wise constitutional provision that the
compensation of an official shall not be
enlarged during the term of his office, permits
the to express the opinion that the salary of
the Governor ought to be increased; While
the salary of such an honorable office ought.
not to be so large as to make it” alluring to
the seeker of gain, it ought not to be so in-
adequate to theservices required and the
courtesics expected, as to deter’ all but the
rich from venturing to accept it.
LEGISLATIVE moosmmn.
Caligula added to his infamy by writing
his laws in small characters and posting them
on high pillars, beyond the vision of most of
his subjects, thereby to ensnare them. The
instance is recalled to Impress upon you the
importance of the topic to which it‘leada
your attention. As the people are expected
to know, respect and obey the laWs,
their publication should be immediate and
universal, so that want of actual knowledge
of the law, to a person capable. of read--
ing, should not in fact, as it is not in law, be
'a reasonable excuse for its violation. The
law at present permits special acts to go into
operation upon the day of their approval,
and public acts four weeks after the rising _oi
the General Assembly; but frequently even.
these become operative immediately-.upong,
their passage, arid before their publication.
The present system of distributing the laws
in pamphlet form docs not force them updn
public attention, or practically supply them
for convenient reference. I recommend the
passage of .a law on this subject, providing
that special acts shall not go into operation
until thirty da after their approval, and
that public so shall be“publishecl imme-
dx’a'tely upon their passage in; such news-
papers in the State as may choose to do so,
at a rate to be fixed by law.
The criticism that such publication would
invite might often lead an Assembly to
amend ‘or repeal laws made by itself, and
thus save the people from unwise legislation
and the succeeding Assembly from the duty
of repealing it.
' sraomr. LEGISLATION.
The time occupied in special legislation by
the General Assembly increases from yeai‘to
year, and will continue to do so until some
inflexible policy against such legislation is
adopted, or until it is prohibited by con-_;
stitutional amendment. The waste of time‘-
grcat as it is, is the” least mischief such-
lcgislution produces.
excuse than the avoidance of some defect in
the general law itself than -to avoid it in
individual instances by special legislation.
An amendment of the general law operates
for the benefit of all, but special legislation
inures to the benefit of the few. As our
laws in relation to joint stock and other
corporate interests are liberal, comprehensive
and well understood, an application for spe-
cial legislation in favor of corporations ought
not to be granted until the proof of special
necessity is made so strong as to overcome
all the presumptions against it. If you
adopt such a policy, your session will be
brief and your labor will be easy.
'He Drew :1. Prize.
A few weeks ago a Detroit saloon keeper
got hold of the fact that a certain customer
of his had invested in aIlottcry ticket, and on
the night of the drawing the saloon was filled
with a crowd to enjoy a joke, which the
saloonist was to let loose on his man. The
man with the ticket dropped in at the usual
hour for his beer, and while drinking it, he
heard the saloon keeper~ remark that ticket
No. 63,256 had drawn $5,000.
“ Howado you know that ?" was quickly
asked.
“ Well, I also hold a couple of tickets, and
a friend of mine in Chicago has telegraphed
me the winning numbers.”
“ Let’s see the telegram l’f‘
It Was produced. It had been specially
prepared for the occasion and appeared gen-
uiuc.
“I hold that very ticket!” gasped the
citizen, as he produced his wallet.
“.NO I” .
“ Here. it is 1”
Congratulations were in order, and only a
hint was needed to bring an order for beer
and cigars without limit. At the end of 11
grand hurrah the salo‘onist presentedabill
for $13.25, and was met with the reply:
“ See you later—too excited to 'make

learned that his debtor was in Colorado.
