HID iOURfcftl 'll untduy E. r. nfttt mud Mhlpley rr EVENING PRINTING Prices I a fear Advance. Wilmington, huraoay, 20, 1887 Euler Governor Very much like his predecessor the governor assumes his office with tie cord ad respect of the people of the State, justly resuitiug from a long and ueefui life spent amoug them and devoted very largely their material and political interests. liie inaugural address, which publish in fnil to-day, will repay perusal by every citizen, whatever his political faith.

It' possesses absolutely unambiguous. No one after reading it will be in doubt us to the governor's views upon auy single topic to which he refers. In its style, the address great merit It is is dear aud vigorous. He opposes appointments to office and promises the oautious exercise of the pardoning power. Respecting constitutional reform, he styles himself "an earnest advocate of constitutional reform by means of a convention," favors district representation and crease of that from New Oastle county.

He also advocates the eleotion of the county officers now appointed by the governor and their payment by salaries in lieu of fees. He recommends legislation respecting primary eleotions and considers the report of the Btate treasurer moBt gratifytag. Upon national affairs, the governor the silver question and civil service reform, and emphatically denounces the present excessive Federal taxation, criticises the policy of the Federal government respecting silver, and deolarcs himself not in favor of "what is popularly known as civil service reform." While on many of the subjects referred to, we agree with the governor, there others upon which our views diverge from his, but ments, which it is not practicable to make to-day, upon various topios of interest whioh he discusses. shall reserve the Upon the subject of constitutional reform, it will be interesting to compare liis views with those which he expressed in the convention than thirty years glad to find that ago. While we he adheres to the views then pressed, we cannot but regret that, as to the manner of giving effect to them, he has grown grown older, and is disposed to pin his faith reform are concerned, to the impracticable artiole IX of the constitution.

conservative he has methods of constitutional far The Teacbm' and filled The Teacbm' Three hundred public school teacheia of New Oastle county and Wilmington, Saturday last adopted a resolution that "the legislative appropriation of $100 is entirely inadequate for the purposes of institute here." This motion was passed for the purpose of placing record the unanimous opinion of the members of the institute. It is manifestly true that the appropriations by the Btate Legislature for institute purposes tirely inadequate. It was most fitting that the members of the institute should in blage up The then from but to for front hand in been voice I on act upon the matter, and it was businesslike and proper that they should put that opinion definitely edly the time is drawing opinion will be called up. Meanwhile State Superintendent T. N.

It afforded the needed change for the teachers from the close mental occupation of the day. Besides, guests, the visitors attention.

But tho smallness of the legislative provision, the snperintt.ndents' loss and the ungenerous treatment of the visitors in causing them to pay from their hard earned savings the cost of tho entertainments, instead of treating the bona fide guests, combine in making a very unattractive memory und all flattering to our citizens, who were their hosts lust week. Unfortunately, in Delaware it would appear we have not yet gained the right concept, as Prof. Balliet of Reading would say, of what an institute means.

I deem it my duty rm of office to nature of the office and the public not justify o. All citizens having the proper legal and personal qualifications, have an equal right to official recognition bytboappolntlng power in the selection of officers to perform public duties. Capacity, honesty and fidelity In applicants for office ure the main requisites that should he regarded by the appointing power. I have sufficient ucqualntaufje with my fellow-eitlze this State to know that many such persons be found In each county of the State to these requirements without confining npolntraents which I shall make to any very limited number of my fellow-citizens, and from this belief and knowledge I shall my action Id this respect to the dated by the convention tho principle which nominated In mloptlug this a principle which will govern my official action, I shall not only carry out the views I have long entertained and publicly expressed upon this subject, but at the same time shall reflect I bellevo, the opinions and wishes of the oltlgenerally of the State. In determining whom I shall appoint to office I shall make ill per and needful investigation as qualification, and shall be governed by the i-lderailons herein mentioned.

I deem Thar while I eferenceto the the the ter In proper, however, to say pay great respect and of my fellow-citizens generally, my action In this respect will not be determined by the number of signers to the petitions of applicants for office, nor the number of letwbteh toay be to me In their bebalr. Becomingndatlons will be weighed und properly considered. Solicitations tor recommendations of applicants forappointaunoylug to the parties oases to the public generally. lfocorumcndatlousare often too Inconsiderately made, and generally easily obtained. Having kuowledi these facts from my and observation In private life the experience of others it will be impossible for uuuiludftil of such Mo discharge my official duty in this I-peel.

While I cannot hope to please all who may feel an Interest In the matter of appointments, or to escape the censure of many in respect thereto, 1 wish it to be distinctly understood that I alone shall be for the appoint meats which I shftll make. I enter upou tho discharge of the duties of my office with the onsol ness of nelng perfectly free and uuoouimlttod to auy person lu respect to any appointment to bo made during my term of service. While 1 may ami doubtless will make mistakes In the discharge of my duty, 1 shall have the proud consciousness that will not have been luteutioumonts too often solicited, and in very go of of a citizen, und from made known by such mistakes ally made. THE PARDONING By the ninth section of said article of the constitution it is providod that the governor "shall have power to remit fines and forfeitures and to grant reprieves and pardous except in cases of impeachment." The care with whioh in the opinion of the framers of the constitution this power should bo olsed is evidenced by the requirement that "he shall set forth in writing fully the grounds of all reprieves, pardons and rebe entered In a register of bis and laid before the General Assembly at their next session." There will have to be strong mitigating or extenuating elroumstanoee which the ordinary courts of justice oaunot properly consider and weigh tn their verdicts and judgments, and which ought to be considered and weighed meriting executive clemency to cause the power thus conferred. Ho who knowingly and wilfully violates the law of the State, aud who uftor a fair and Impartial trial by a Jury of his countrymen, In which there has beeu neither mistake of law or fact committed, euu have but little claim to the Interposition of the exercise of this power by the chief executive of the State.

Laws are made to be observed, not to violate 1, and he who wlifully an-J knowingly violates them does so with a knowledge that the law onlains the punlshof his act. These considorutluns wbl influence me In respect my uotlon In exercise of the power thus vested lu under the constitution of this State. the only matters in respect to ray official duties enjoined upon me by the to which 1 deem it uecessary at tho present time to invite pubiio attention. missions official CONSTITUTION AL AMENDMENTS The subjeot of a constitutional convention has tor years been a matter of more public agitation and discussion. My views upon the subjeot of a constitutional convention are well known.

As a member of the constitutional convention of 1852,1 assisted tu framing the constitution upon by that Not only did I support It lu convention, but in public add re people I advocated Its ratification. My efforts and tbe efforts of others to secure Its adoption by tho people were unsuccessful. The views 1 then entertained, however, tu the necessity and propriety of a le before the change in tho fuudamental law of tho Stau altered. The changesttmrelr have not I then advocated I favor to-day as governor say, however, If the 1 wisb of the General Assembly iu their wisdom proper to provide for the calling of ventlon, aud for the submission to people of any constitution which may be frnmod by such convention advocate of constitutlo of a convention, and the adoption of a constitution In lieu of the existing would suggest that all the proceedings of (lie General Assembly in relation thereto, should be had In strict accordance with Article IX of the present constitution of the Htate, qulrements trupulously for this suggestif, that tion framed, and iu order that objection may be made proper that no steps which 'might in least be considered revolutionary, be taken to hasten that which must surely that the people sovereignty in government Is unknown to Anmrican law. Such sovereignty in the language of another belongs to governments different from ours and beyond tbe waters.

It monts of America. The constitution Is the fundamental luw of the state. It cannot changed In any respect by the ffiglslaturo which is Its creature and wholly subordinate reform by of the that all the reof said article should observed. My is based upon a belief opposition will be made to the adopof any constitution that may bo little cavil possible, it Is It sovereign, but 11 exist in the free govei too raly be a dr If, BUl Delaware ralttlug the question of constitution ol the Stale to the voters, 1 hope that In all legislation In respect thereto it will have a just regard fqi the present pass ultoratiou of the I stltutlon of tho State, and tbut usures looking thereto will conform Its requirement 1 If, however, tbe General Assembly ut Its present session shall proper to call a State convention for the revision of the present constitution, It is tn their power, end I think they should exercise It, to for its amendment In i In the ninth consider it wise initiatory steps the mode proscribed thereof. That urttole says, that the General Assembly, whenever two-thirds of each house shall deem it with the approbation of the governor, propose dnurats to this constitution, least and not before the sentatives duly publish them i the consideration of elation, tout at goueral of repi prlut people, und ir of the Before this this fourths of after such other, ratify the said amendments they shall bo valid to all Intents and purposes of this constitution." tl i I OIRTHICT KKPRK Whatever mode of amendment to the stlrutfon the Ittato may be judgment the time has arrived when a should be mado In the manner of electing the senators and representatives iu as Is well-known, i he several counties tb General Assembly.

Under tutlon they elected by the throughout the couuto-s respectively. Tho question Itself to the mind of every thinking man, is Buch a provision under exi: ting circumstances right Does the wishes aud expectations, the desites and the sense of justice people of tho several of the disproportionate. Ought not the ong of unequal representation of the people iu tlm General Assembly to bo far as practicable Equal reII of the The voting population the S' led presentation could cured under election by district's than tinder the existing system. Is not the former system of election of representatives In the Genoral Assembly more In accordance with the principles of Democratic representative government than that which exists under present Btato constitution In my tlulon those who un immediate lulu the of of the General Assembly should have that right secured to them In case the pres properly by constitutional provision, mt General Assembly shall not make provision for a constitutional convention, I suggest riie pioprloty of proposlutr an amendment the constitution embodying this principle In with the IX article of the constitution. District representation In my judgment is principle of a Democratic representative government commend Its adoption In the wlsd Assembly shall be deemed right hi I earnestly State policy, in of the GouI proper.

tl'RESENTATION. n-qui'St has time am! again be made to the General Assembly by cltlze nt county of New Oastle that au lucre of representation should be accorded that county In the Legislature this State, that request has made It has beeu refused. In my Judgment Ir Is trat, fuir and proper that tout which In justice fo'l to it -hould be granted. It Is a known fact that tho county of New Oastle Is rapidly In population. It contains within its limits many of the manufacturing Industries of the country.

Every year Its industries and enterprises Increasing. With this Increase of busi and enterprise there Is a lng Increase of population. Already the voting population of that county Is vastly larger than that of either of tho other ties of this State. Other states bave recognized the principle that populous commuentltled to and should be allowed nlties a larger representation In their legislatures than those less populous. To that a fair and just.

of representation for New Custle county would he hut right and proper. The Gene ral Assembly, by the constitution of the State is composed of number of members from each county, and In my judgment an Inequality of representation caunot he made by the Got oral Assembly. Legislature is but the creature of the constitution, and cannot change it in any respect except In the manner which the constitution Itself provides. The formation of a constitution is the ere! of sovereign power by people themselves. Sovereignty resides In the people alone.

They can make or constitutions. The Legislature neither the one nor the other of these things. The creation of equality in the General Assembly by the constitution, whioh Is the will of tbe people and an act of sovereignty Itself, cannot be destroyed, and an Inequality of representation by the several counties be established by an act of the Legislature. The creature cannot destroy its creator. Buch a change In the constitution of the General Assembly can only be made by a convention of the people themselves or by amendment by the to the to any the eqa do will beconstitution in the manner prescribed In the IX Artiole thereof.

Such an amendment I trust the good and Justice of the people will cause to be made. lunnra I am oouviuoed that the hae arrived when public officers, lusteud of being appointed by the governor, should bo eleoted ny a popular vote of the citizens of rive count entitled to voto. opinion of the voters of the I believe, der undo that a change should be made In this reap The offiwhom this principle of sefootora particularly applies aie those of register or wills, prt thouotary of the superior court, clerk of tho peace, recorder of deeds und clerk of the orphans'court and register In chancery of the different counties of the State. The voters mi to oxvxoiRS. tne respect The public State fully competent to decide who should or should not fill thexe offices as the governor win reasonably be supposed to be.

The votais of the respective counties competent to decide as to the qi of such officers than the govornor himself. They have better opportunities by reason of personal Intercourse to lorm opiulons In respect to tho qaallUcatlous and fitness of parsons generally to fill these positions than the governor. generally mo I all Death FOB CERTAIN OFFICE US IN OF FEES In speaking of the electio core who now receive at tho hands of the governor, I think it Is but Hght to change the mode of their compensation. Public thluk, would approve such a change. Those officers should required by Taw fees, and cover tbe of their respective counties.

It should be made the duty of the respective county treasurers to to the Incumbents of said ffloee out of the foes tain salary to be prescribed by law as a just 'ompensailon In full for all their respective of these offlbe to collect tho prescribed Into tho treasury him a paid such officers. PRIM AU ELECTIONS. Primary elections of political parties In this State for the nomination of oandldatos for office should, iu my opinion, beheld under and governed by suitable legal restrictions. Bribery, coiruptlon and fraud at such elections should prohibited ar punished by law There has of late much complaint in this State concerning corrupting and fraudulent practloes at such elections. I recommend to the General Assembly the euactmcnt of traitable laws of prevonting the practices in the future.

the a STATE FINANCES. The biennial report of the Btate treasurer to the General Assembly Is most gratifying. As appears from that report the and the the credit of the state is of the Btate Is ouut placed $1,168,799 00, leaving liabilities $841,049.00. While In many states throughout, the Union extravagance hae prevailed and corruption has In publie expenditure. It can be said to Dole's credit, that thuSO who have had the control and management of uft'ulrs have i-ecu economical In their management and honest in their dealings.

The present of tbe Btate, as is caused by the granting of the protecting of tho during the bloody of the late olvll war from draft. Tho showing made by the State treasurer reflects oredlt upon those who heretofore had charge of nffaiis, and I take pleasure In being able to bear testimony to their Integrity. well km aid for internal Improvements I deem It not Inappropriate to the present iceaslon to my opinion In respect certain subjcCta of Federal legislation In which the people of the several slates have and a deep Interest, and In which their voice is entitled heard. By section VIII, Art. 1.

of Federal Constitution, Congress Is Investud with exclusive power to lay and collect excises. ra tlve be Its Au tbe es, duties, Imp Before the formation of said constitution those powers belonged to, and eised by the several states us sovereign and Independent states. Tbe states cannot exorcise power, bavlug surrendered It to tho Federal government. As members of tho Federal Union, however, they deeply Interested In the exorcise thereof by the Federal government, and demand that the It have a right ment shall common benefit aud advantage of all. The subject of contention In Congress and out of It almost from the formation of the Federal Union.

The promote the into the the of tariff has and representatives In Confrom tho different states have too often had regard to the; sepurute interests of the states which they particularly represented, to the exclusion of the interest of all the states. It Is difficult for the representatives of different and independent communities to rise superior to local and to act In the spirit of Impartial justice und fairness toward political communities though with them by a bond of common union. Particular interests have generally alone regarded, and hence adjustment of a proper tariff upon imports been attend' with the greatest difficulty ana marked by the greattwt injustice. Wlthodtaafekrlug into a full discussion of prinolpraa which should govern this I and ihv which eu; American labor, aud sustain tho whole population of a common country, and not the population of auy partie alar section to of the rest. The great Interests of country commerce will prosper together tber, aud all legislation Is dangerous of these which he predominant at of Delaware Ih of agriculture, and she has a right to demand of um government that the predominant interest of her people shall not be unjustly discriminated against by Federal legislation.

What is true of the people of Delaware Is equally true tn respect to the people of the ii'utry. The agricultural Interest Is a goiicrul and a common one and should ule to bear, It does a purt of tho public burdens, duties should be levied or colhy means of a tariff than for meeting tbe ses Federal honestly aiul economically The collection means of a tariff of duties on impo wrongs done to the people of the whole country operate oppressively upou the whole people, but especially upou those who have the greatest tlou of the public burdens to bear. The Fedoial Is not authorized to levy for any other purpose than to defray the expenses of tho collect such duties except for tho common benefit, and to do so for any purpose is beyond Its power. of unnecessary es a wrong done to the people, and tho Heeled is sill 1 more in the treasury much circulating -ary Iu the of money high and hard to the rate of allures iu business, financial embarrass, panics and disasters in Industrial pursuits, and If It is disbursed, which It generally Is, in expenditures by th premium temptation for appropriation to useless purposes, and unconstitutional objects. A trmisurv should rot be overflowing.

B)th the tariff aud Internal taxes should be properlv reduced and modified oe to keep the ree -ipts of government down to its legitimate but tn this reduction ronslderutiou and regard should be had for Interests which have grown up and been protected by present lux and tariff laws, so that under tariff form nc injustice may be done In rejects ih Interests. There be no justification or excuse for the continuation of the duties which yield la excess of the wants of the governu surplus of more than 6100,000,000 annually, which must bo held for years In the treasury before It oau be applied to the extinguishment of any part of tho public debt. Buch an unwi-e accumulation in vaults of the treasury will, unless expended Iu unwise appropriations, withdraw from large amount of money, for of It united sud ineop man 11lungulsh 1. which looking the others I ill No io i prop igitimate ex hoarding up a large collected by of iot levy and lulled by possession of it Injurious, prives people of th nradium uUs et; ini extravagant government It jmtH dishonesty and fraud. It is a is I circulation needed iu the business of the country, and financial embarrassment, aud a shrinkage ia tho value of every species of property iu tho land.

The average rates it lu Ind itlefl paid upon importations Is loss than three per of the bigheHt average rate during the and greatly In excess of the at any time prior to the Every dollar taken from the by unnecessary taxation Is an oppressive exaction, depriving them to that extent of the moans or provtdtn those dependent civil average rate paid for themselves and The excess of revenue Deyond the requirements of the government, under existing law, will than two dollars for ovr-ry Inhabitant of this country of all uges sexes and conditions. Of this amount tho people of Delaware will annually contribute morethan 6300,000. This, however, is the least of the evils which will result from the continuation of present high rate of duties. The disastrous effects of the curtailment of the circulating medium, by locking up the surplus revenue in the treasury, and tho barrier which high duties on imports ereots against the exportation of our own productions both agricultural and manufacturing to foreign countries, will sooner the amount, to hut and Asit the the be the the later be every hand and felt In every home. The continual drainage upou the resources of the people by unnecessary taxation, while diminishing the prices of products of their industry, by limiting their sales In the markets of the world, must prove disastrous to every Industry and especially to the agricultural Interest in which our people generally engaged.

The American people ought to-day to be tho most prosperous, contouted and happy people oh earth, yet many of our industries languish, and labor Is restless and discontented. May this not bo the result of a policy which seeks to foster the interest of one portion of our cltlby unjust extortion enforced upon do others. SILVER Congress under the Federal constitution has tho exclusive power to coin money and regulate the value thereof, but in the proper exercise of this power the people of the several states have the deepest interest and their public servants should, proper oooasions give expression to their views upon this lmportaut subject. The states before the adoption of the Federal constitution, being sovereign independent powots, possessed Incident to their sovereignty, to coin money and regulate its vaine. They surrendered this power to the Federal government when they became parties to the Federal constitution.

In all ages and among t-ll civilized people, gold au silver have been legal Tin payment of public aod Indl prohibited by the 10th section ol Article I of the uoustttuof the United States from making anything but gold and silver coin a tender In payment of debts Nothing but colus of these metals this State a legal tender for such purposes. The power to coin money b-tag red nment by the a vtdual debts. Th states Ion the general go such coins being neoessary for the puritlotfd a noon Siirlly implied obllpose garlou resta upou that government to furuieh by the nvatis dcelunated, aud for the purposes so required the nooessary coin of thoee raetals, and It is as obligatory upon It gold coin. Tbe Federal government has nothing to do with the creation of legal tenders. It may say what debts due to Itself hall be paid, but the power is nowhere delegat'd to it by the people to create legal tenders for the several states or their people.

Tender in coin existed in tho states before the adoption of the Federal constitution this was not changed by Its adoption. It was recognized us an existing fact. It Is not the amount of either gold or silver coined into money that gives to It Its value money. It Is the stamp of the government creating and regulating its relative value that onuses such value to be reoognlzed in all business transactions. These coins are not to be judged by their value as bullion, but by their value as coin, as money, as legal money.

Hence the ory of the depreciated value of silver coin Is senseless and unmeaning, except for the purpose of depreciating It, and preventing coinage Into money by those who have pose they have some personal Interest depreciating Its value. The United States gold and silver than any earth, and yet with this advantage the OongresB of the United States hits discriminated ugalnst colnuge of silver into money. to fuinfoh silver Co produces nation that this Injustice hmI wrong has become so manifest from popular denunciation thereof, that the demonetization of silhas been removed, aud Its coinage into a much greater extime existol. But notit Is legal money allowed tent than at withstanding these partial Surrenders to a popular demand of the people, tho circulation of silver coin among tbe people, as far as posslblo, has beeu retarded and rendered effectual than It should be by the uuwise policy iu this respect pursued by the Fedoral government, in conjunction with, leust to the advantage of those who have a interest In the accompllshmeut of these purposos. Hence, the silver coin ol tho country, Instead of being paid out to the employes of the government and In discharge of Its public Indebtedness, is boarded lu tbe troasuiy vaults, iu such that lnsufaantltles and to oh SS is that such vaults cry flotont for Its storage and the building of bo necessary for Its sub) keeping, under the pretence that the people will not take the silver dollars.

those vaults (hi opened aud their contours put Into immediate circulation, and the people will show whether the allegation Is true I have never yet the man who ufrald or who did not desire the possession of a silver dollar. vaults said ra 10. civil I have already said that I believe the principle on whl govci nment should ho conducted is rotation In office. I believe lu reforming the civil service, but net In what Is popularly known as civil service reform. I would appoint none but honest and well qualified to public oflice, but such men should be In sympathy the administration In Its honest efforts to correct public abuses.

Au administration called by tho people to tbe performance of such duties, should not permit itself to be circumvented or erubared by appointing to office those who from party affiliation might be interested eh an administration inclined to bring into disrepute. It should administer tho government through agents In political sympathy with Itself. If wisely suleelei In respect there their political harmony with the administration of which part. My opinion Is that while both tho great political parties of the country sought by the Insertions Into their platforms, of worels favorable to civil service reform for the purpose of obtaining some supposed additional support, both by this have had full opportunity to discover the useln the thodlmunltlve character of advantages sought. Honesty iu this, In all other doings.

Is tho best policy. But, genth thing agents be qualifications lust cause of complaint that iews and associations are in notwithstanding we may discover imperfections In Federal aud State systems of government, and notwithstanding.

On the 17th of September, A. 1787, delegates from 12 of tho original states formed a constitution of government for tho people of the United that the ratification there by the conventions of nine states should be sufficient for the establishment of that constitution between the stafos so ratifying the same.

On tho 7th day of December followtog (1787.) the deputies of the people of Delaware "for and lu behalf themselves and of their constituents, fully, freoly and entirely approved of, assentoil to, ratified and confirmed the said constitution." Delaware was the first State to adopt the Federal constitution. She ho? never violated it and she will be tbe last On the 17th day of September next tho people of the 88 states now comprising the Federal Union, will celebrate, In tho city of Philadelphia, the 100th anniversary of the formation ol the Federal constButlon. It is proper that Delaware should I recommend that in abandon it. sented the General Assembly take such appropriate. Allow me, sembly.

At the time for the opening of the ball, from 9 to 9 30 p. tho best that the belated arrivals do was to take position at the foot of the stairway and wait with the patience aud long-snfffring conspicuous among (Jbristian virtues until that end of tho throng occupying tbe first step had moved np to the second. It w'as even worse when, after half hour ul this slow advance had gotten finally within the door of the hall, for then it aim-st impossible to get ugain.

At one time there was talk of to oourt-house hall, where the ball should have been held, and were gotten in readiness to pile up the benches there preparatory to doing this, but tho change of programme di commend itself to and the proposed move with tho gradually thin out until there should bo for dauoing. Outside the ballroom and both under and over tbe surfaoe the Btate treasurership contest, whioh by tbe cuueus of Mi another attempt will be morrow evening, is boiling with all its might.
