Only two sessions were held , bttt consultations and committee meet ings wcro In progress nil day. The forenoon ecsston was executive and w < Jfl largely con fined to the consideration of claims and complaints against Jobbers and manufactur ers. A majority of the complaints came from Hastings , Neb. , and were voiced by J. J. Buchanan , who took u. very prominent part In all of the other dlscus-slocs. Ono cause of complaint was the excessive express charges on repairs from the factories and from the Missouri river. The standing committee on cxprcpa ciiargca reported that conferences had1 been held with all of the exprccs agents In Council Illuffs and Omaha regarding the matter since the meriting on the previous day ami that the agents txid assured the com- mltteo that they would toke up the matter with the superintendents andi use their best efforts to secure ralcs ; that would remove the complaints that had been lodged by the usso- clatlnn. The committee on constltutlen and by-laws was Insliuctcd to make u number of changes In thu organic laws of Uho aKsoclatlca and re port at Uio afternoon meeting. The chief change to bo m < tde related to the disposal of the amounts collected from Jobbers and mak ers as penalties for violating the agreement not to sell to persons outsldo the araoclatlcn. The committee was Instructed to change the by-laws to permlii one-half of the amounts received to go to the association and the rc- m-aliuler to bo divided equally among the dealers making and substantiating Mie charge.1 ? . The secretary made a call upon the mcm- ber.i to make up the amount of the deficit aiU the resulting collection realized sufficient money to clear up the debts of the associa tion. A permanent auditing committee WJB appointed , consisting of Messrs. Muthlcson , Hodman and Tucker. The convention ad- Journsd shortly before noco and the succeed ing Interval until nearly 3 o'clock WES de voted to visiting the \\iiolcsalo houses and fraternizing. The opening subject for the afternoon dis cussion was mutual Insurance among the members. D. K. Spencer was on Uho pro gram to put the matter before the associa tion , but he was unable to bo present and Mr. Drcnson took the lead In the discussion. He explained the Importance of the plan and assured 'tho members tbat It would reduce the ccst of their Insurance at least 50 per cent In Iowa and ' 'n ' greater proportion In Nebraska , where the Insurance rates were still higher. HITS THE BINDER ME > N. The resolutions committee reported a num ber of resolutions In obedience to Instruc- Hens of the session on Wednesday afternoon. Ono of these related to the matter of hand ling binders and the methods of the manu1- facturera In sending ; export ogenta to the farmer as canvassers In the Interest of tbo factory and the dealer. The resolution was adopted with but ono dissolving vote and de clared : That we .most seriously and emphatically disapprove of the practice of binder com panies employing canvassers to canvass and sell binders and twine to farmers. That we bellevo that the money so ex pended Is Injudicious , costly and damaging to the trade , nnd thnt a continuance of this practice Is piratical In Its tendency , and demoralizing to the best business Interests of both manufacturer nnd dealer , and that wo hope for nnd UTRO Its discontinuance nnd abandonment , and we recommend that the money so expended 1)3 given to the local dealer In reducing the price on ma- cnmes. That the president nnd secretary of this association be authorized to forward a copy of thesa resolutions to each nnd every binder manufacturer , earnestly soliciting that they adopt the same , nnd we further pledge our united nnd Individual support tea a strict observance o the foregoing reso lutions. That wo also recommend that these reso lutions bo sent to the other implement dealers' conventions , requesting' their co operation. Another resolution 'Instructing the presi dent and secretary to confer with the su- penlntendents of the various express com panies with a view of securing better rates on repairs was presented and approved. The resolution denounced the rates now prevail ing as 'being ' enormously and ruinously high. The committee also reported a resolution of thanks to the dealers and the citizens for the courtesies and hospitalities that liad been shown the association. , The resolution re cites : That we extend to the wholesale dealers of Council muffs , la. , our sincere nnd most tender thanks for the highly royal ac commodations rocelved from their hands. That we feel under deep nnd lusting ob ligations to each and nil of them and be speak for them a bounteous and prosperous year of our Lord 1S9S. That wo extend our thanks to the dally newspapers of Council liluffs and Omahn nnd the various Implement Journals for thi-lr extended reports of our proceedings , and wo recopnlze the power nnd Influence of the press In correcting evil business methods. As a special mark of consideration the president asked that the resolution bo adopted by a rising vote. UBGULATING THEIR TRADE. The report of the executive committee concerning ono of the Hastings complaints was made In the open meeting , The com- mltteo directed the secretary 'to Investigate and take the proper action If the facts wcro found to be as stated. The recommendation that the by-laws bo changed In section G , permitting the association to receive one-half of the penalties collected was concurred In , but the cliango suggested la article 111 of thu constitution denying membership to dealers not carrying an catlro line of Implements , but handling wheeled goods , did not meet the approval of the association. The com- milieu's report recommended that no change bo made and It was concurred In. Mr. Bu chanan , of Hastings wasted the association to take Eomo action that would prevent the blacksmiths and liverymen going Into the re tail carrligo trade. Article II , recognizing botiowry members , was stricken out. When the matter of claims came up there waa a good dral of business that was to be regarded as tH'cret. During tbo discussion eovoral manufacturers were named and their methods of doing business most < blttcrlyi do- nounccd. The charges against ono factory wcro referred to the secretary and president with Instructions to take the proper steps to use coerclvo measured to bring the factory people to their scaseo. The treasurer's report showed that all of the debts of the association had been cleared up since the convention met and the pay ments from members had left d balance of ? 11.7G In the treasury. The question where the next meeting of the association should bo held and the date of holding It was called up and' was made tbo means of Indicating tbo great disparity In the number of members present from Iowa and Nebraska. Mr. Loom la of David City called upcci all Nebraska men to stand up and In stantly almcst three-fourths of the chalro In the hall wcro vacated , The secretary stated that ho had cent out 590 Invitations to Iowa dealers to attend tbo convention and 447 to Nebraska men , and It appeared that about all of tbo Nebraska men had accepted. President Battln said the Iowa men had not long considered themsolvea to bo members of tbo association and & . * an Iowa man him- belt ho wea willing to vouch for their In terest la the aeeocLutloa. Eomo of the mem bers suggested that the dale of the meeting should be.changed from midwinter and fixed early la October to enable the- members to visit the Transmleslfslppl Exposition while attending the meeting. The president asked that the provision of the cocotltutlon em powering the executive committee to name the dale an& place of meeting bo not Inter fered with and that the committee .be left untrammclcd , Ho favored the Idea of holdIng - Ing the convention during the exposition If It was possible io do so without Interfering with the business of the members. OFFICERS UE-Rt-ECTED. The election of officers for the ensuing ye r followed. Mr. Luberly suggested that owing to the great efforts the present officers had ir.ado to make the nraoclatlon the suc- CCSA It had now attained , that ill of the old officers bo re-elected by accMmntlon. There was no objection and' the suggestion was fol lowed. The Mst hour of the convention was set ap rt to listen to speeches from manufac turers and Jobbers , a largo number of whom had been waiting In the lobby of the hotel for the Invitation. When n committee was sent down to bring them In It w-is discovered that nearly all of them had left the > building and many of them bad gene to Omaha. Colonel Slaver of the Stavcr Carriage com pany and Mr. Wood of the Henney Uuggy company of Kanais City entered the room and Mr. Wood trade a lengthy speech con cerning the Nebraska business of his factory. The convention closed last night by an elaborate banquet la the League club rooms , attended by all members whoso buslnera did not require them to leave on the evening tnilas for their homes. The banquet last night given , by the local Jobbers to the Implement Doalera' associa tion was n most successful affair. The League club rooms wcro crowded throughout the evening , moro than 600 men visiting the hall. A fine luncheon was served. It was meant 'to ' .be a social and Informal affair , to enable the members of the association to meet thi ( Jobbers and other citizens aud be come Tjctlcr acquainted. Association busi ness and oil other kinds of 'business ' were cast ns'ldo and the members abandoned thom- Eolvcs 'to ' the full enjoyment of the evening. Secretary Judson of the Transmlsslsslppl os- coclatlon Introduced his phonograph and cn- lorlalned 'Iho ' crowd with a program of twen- ty-flvo pieces. Smith's orchestra , stationed In the hall of the hotel , furnished music. The banquet lasted until midnight and was a fitting close to the very successful convention of the retail Implement dealers of the two states. OIIJHCT TO TJIll COl/ll'i' / AT AVOCA. Council IIIiilTn lAttiiriicyH AVant to Abolish ( hi * Kant Kiul llraiicli. The special meeting of the Bar association yesterday morning attracted a largo attend ance of citizens &s well as attorneys , for It became generally known before the meeting that the association 'would take some scrt of action looking toward the abandonment of the branch court at lAvoca. The surmise proved to bo correct , and the first steps were taken in the hard fight that Is anticipated. Judge Thornell , who called Uio meeting , owing to the fact that his attention had been called to the possibility of a complication on account cf the co-ordlnato Jurisdiction of 'tho two courts In criminal matters , staled Ihat ho bid examined the law In the new code since the previous evening and waa of the opinion that there wus io grounds for the apprehension that bad arisen. Ho thought tbero was no question about the now cede not having repealed the special act by watch the Avoaa branch \\as constituted. The mem bers of tiio bar , however , proceeded wi'.h ' the discussion on the grounds that It ws a good tlmo to take up the matter of di.sban.ling the court. Hon. A. T. FllcMnKcr Kavo tno mem bers some Information concerning the history of the Avoca court and Its cost to Iho tax payers of the county. Ho said that 90 per cent , of the bustaecs of the counly Is , done in the court at Council Bluffs , and that for the remaining 10 per cent , the taxpayers were obliged to pay several times moro than the actual ccst would be If t'he two courts were consolidated. He ald-the court was run largely In Iho Interest of the Shelby and Cass countji attorneys , and was 'a positive detri ment to the 95 per cent , of Mio members of the bar. He declared that when the matter wa.i flrat brought up that 75 per cent , of the taxpayers of the eastern end of the county were opposed to the plan and that ho bad circulated petitions remonstrating against the proposed action of the legislature. Ho said ho had secured over 500 signatures In Layton. township alone , and that when the petition was ready for submission 'io tbo legislature It somehow mysteriously got Into the hands of the cast-end boomers , who carefully cut ofi ! the heading and attached the entire Hst of ranica to their petition asking for the establishment of the court. J. J. Shea said the Avoca court had always tangled up the court business without con ferring any real benefit on the litigants. Ho was a strong advocate of 'Us abolishment , and was .hotly opposed by 'Benjamin. ' Spencer Smith eald the branch court had cotft $10,000 to do the little business that had fallen to It , and bad cost the attorneys a great deal of extra trouble and cost and often prevented "regular" members of the bar tak ing cases that originated there. Ho asked that a general expression of the taxpayers all over the county , and particularly 'In the euat emJ , bo secured before any action Is taken at DCS iMoIncs. This view was con curred In by J. IM. Galvln. L. R. Robinson , an attorney from Oakland , Jeered the Idea of the members of the bar who were present prcsumlug that they con stituted the entire- county bar. A mot'lcn that a committee 1)0 appointed < o draft a petition for circulation In the cast end asking for the abolishment of the court was agreed 'to , following a motlra by Mr. Fllcklnger that It bo declared the renso of Uio bur that the court should1 bo abolished. \t his suggestion the association resolved It self 'into a committee of the whole to devlao ways and means to carry out the wishes of the bar , The committee organized by choos ing Mr. Fllckinger chairman end D. E. Stuart secretary. George S. Wright and W. H. Ware v.-cro appointed a committee to draft the petition referred to. The committee ad journed to meet tills evening at the office of Mr. Fllcklnger to tuko action In tiio malter. C. O. Saundcrs and Senator N. 'M.

Many , many years .ogo , when the sessions of the legislature wcro ytlt held In the old brick capltol building , says the DCS JMolnea Capital , a tow-lictidcd boy lounged about the corridors , chatted wltu the doorkeepers and looked on the lawmakers the &imo as many yoiWis are doing today. This lad , li&w- ovcr , was of an observant turn and look an especial Interest In the personnel of the leg islature. Ho was unusually bright and be came a general favorlto with the members. Even now , after the lapse of ( twenty-four years , that lad can repeat Uio roll call of Iho senate without hitch or mistake. His father was a member of the sera'to In 1S74 , and It may bo that neither ho nor the lad had a shadow of a notion that the youngster would ono day represent ono of the best districts of the state in the finest stale structure In the whole United States. The last elec tion , however , made this an assured fact and now the boy , who la among the young est of the new members , will have an oppor tunity to exert his remarkable faculty for the 'benefit ' of his constiluency and Ihe good of the slalc. Ho Is none other than Ropresenlallvo Dows. The falher , who was a member of lhe Fltlecnth general assembly In 1874 , Is still halo and hearty. Jolcton nil Iinva r iiiilMt M Ono of Iho very best legislative Jokes Is told on a populist member from the central part of the slalc , says the DCS Moincs corre spondent of the Marshalltown Times-Re publican. Ho was nollced by some pslillclans of bla counly on lhe train and they con cluded to watch to see If he was traveling on a pass. Sure enough , ho pulled out a card , and the conductor Icokcd at It long and carefully , and1 'talked ' to the statesman about It. The conductor soon came back and took anolher. look 'at the card , and sllll a third time , and so thb member's Interested neighbors finally asked the conduclor whal was Iho matter. 'The- conductor explained lhat the -member had been trying Io rldo on a pass on the "Happiness and Prosperlly Railway company , " operated jointly by tbo Joy and Peace Navigation company , and good on all lines. It was sent out as a 'New Year card by Freeman 11. Conaway , state printer , and signed by him. The man de- claroi ho had got 'his baggage checked on It , buf the conductor was obliged to ask him to get a tlckel , notwithstanding the member Insisted It was "good on all lines. " At the next station the Icglslalor tried to work oft a half fare permit of the vintage of 189C , and being also unsuccessful In that , ho had to pay full faro.

Southerswho ran a passenger engine hero so long , and resigned Io becoino division masler mechanic at Oration , W. Va. , says the Perry , la. , Chief. He now occupies that position en the Mexican Central railway at Jlmulco. In remitting his dues to the lodge here he wrllcs Io Mr. Al Parmcalcr as fol lows : "I remit today $10 In Mexican silver with Instruction's to the express agent at 131 Pas'o to change to United States currency , and forward to you. As the prlco of Mexican money is so , variable 'I do not know how much you will get. However. If too much , place to my credit ; If too little , advise me and I will send more. " A package containing $ I.CO reached 'Mr. ' Parmenter , which was lhe exact value of Iho len ( Mexican dollars at El Paso. The express was 00 cents , which left $1.10 to be placed to Mr. Southers' credit. Our free sil ver friends can reflect on this little trans action , for It Is a true one. Ailvliro ( o the The Mason Clly Globe-Gazelle , referring Io Iho ecsslon of the Iowa legislature just begun at Des Molnes , odors this advice : There are Important matters to bo at tended to. lowu qannot afford to be In fluenced by any popullstlc notions of economy. This legislature may do lhe slate an Injury which It will take years to out live by following a narrow , one-Idea nollon of cutting down taxes In a wholesale man ner. The state dcbt , has been discussed as though It were a ghost anil those con templating it terribly afraid of ghosts. Iowa Is able Io pay nil she owes without feeling1 It. The proper thing to do Is to make a suniclcnt levy to pay off the debt nnd nt the same time make appropriations to go forward with such Improvements as the state requires. The right economy Is to Invest money properly nnd to see that none of It Is carelessly wasted. This state can not afford to withdraw Into Its shell. It must maintain a progressive characlor worthy of Its history. It must keep , not only up with the procession , but It must hold Its rightful place at the head of the column.

( Special Tele gram , ) In the presence of C.OOO people thronging the great rotunda of the state house , Leslie M , Shaw thla afternoon took the oath of ofTlco and was declared the chic executive of Iowa. Fifteen months ago ho was an unknown country banker. Thirty years ago ho was a poor boy , just arrlvci In the new west from his native state o Vermont. On the platform bcsldo Jilm loday sat his aged falher , D. O. Shaw of Morris- vlllo , Vt. , who arrived to sco his son In augurated , lie Is 82 years old , The day was beautiful and the entire city seemed to have joined the inulllludo moving toward lhe stale house , beginning soon after noon. The Inaugural parade was simple , but Impressive. H formed at the Hotel Savcry nnd moved across Iho river on Locust slrect platoon of police headed the parade , then came Iho Carroll baud , aud following this Companies A and H of Des Molnes. Then a line of carriages , 'wllh the legislative com mittee n Inauguration. Governor Drake and Governor-elect Shaw , Adjutant General Prime , Private Secretary Fleming , ivhc served as confidential man for Drake anil who will occupy the same relation lo Shaw , Lieutenant Governor Parrotl , Lleulcnanl Governor-elect Mllllman , supreme Judges , stale olllccrs and members of the families of the retiring and Incoming governors. There wcro twenty-two carriages In the line. While the procession 'was ' crossing Iho river the houses of the legislature wcro meeting In llielr respecllvo chambers. Just before the Inaugural parly arrived Iho houses ad journed , lo meet In Joint convention In the great rotunda , where lhe Inauguration waste to bo held. They wcro seated and waiting when thu party came In nt the cast entrance , headed by Governor Drake. The rotunda of the cnpltol forms a great Greek cross , the two long corridors crossing In the center of the building under the dome. The sland occunied Iho west corridor facing the grand stairway In the cast corridor. The dignitaries 'wcro seated on the stand ; In an enclosed space In front of the stand were seated the members of lhe legislature , their wives and the legislative officers. The assem blage stood and cheered as the Inaugural party entered. After music , Lieutenant Governor Parrotl , who presided , called the Joint convention lo order and prescnled Rev. J. T. Crlppen of Marlon , who Invoked Iho divine blessing. After anolher musical selec tion Iho talli of olllco was administered lo Mr. Shaw by Chief Justice 'H. ' E. Deemer. The Iwo mien rose , faced each olher , and , Uio right hand .of each upraised , lhe oalh was given. When lhe ceremony was ended , Leslie 'M. ' Shaw was governor. The oalh wa's at once administered to Captain J. C. Mllllman as Heulenanl governor. SHAWS INAUGURAL. / Governor Shaw then delivered his In augural address. His utterances on the cur rency question , on which he urged the single gold standard as Iho only safe monelary sys- lem , and on slale Issues wore marked by earnest applause. Governor Shaw said : It Is a mailer worthy of note that our Industrial and financial skies are brighten ing. After the experience of unrest , ( II * trusl , doubt , fear , disaster and much or ruin through which we have passed no thoughtful man questions the truth of the proposition that we are entering upon a period of Improved conditions. It Would seem from the sufferings through which wo have so lately passed that no one able to commlserale lhe homeless , the hejpless , the friendless and the destitute will again attempt to revolutionize the single gold standard , the beneficent effects of which wo have enjoyed slnca January , 1S79. 1S79.Not Not only the people of Iowa , but the entire nallon Is to be congratulated tlmt It has at last learned the necessity of a single Btnndard , and the supreme convenience at least of making- that standard gold. It has also learned the necessity of maintaining the parity with pold of each and every kind of money now circulating1 , or that may be CKated , for In finance as well as In mathematics , things equal to lhe same thing are equal to euch other. When each form of our money Is directly or Indirectly re deemable or readily exchangeable at par for gold , It passes current under every sky , beneath all Hag's and In all ports. Any thing short of this Is an embargo on Ameri can commerce. REFORM : OF CURRENCY. It seems to be conceded by business men and statesmen as well that our national currency needs reformation. The various plans devised , nnd formulated , nnd recom- menucu , an tenu in tne same uireciion wun greater or less abruptness. It Is urged that lhe counlry will not consent to the retire ment of the greenbacks and the Issuance of any form of money In lieu thereof. This may bo true , but If true It proves the cx- istencu of nn Ill-advised prejudice. Concede the necessity of maintaining the parity of ( Mich form of currency with Bold , and the necesslly of some modification of lhe present syslcm Is apparent. Thnt the gold standard should be maintained was Iho verdict of 1S9G by J.OOO.COO majority. The fact of notice that the case will be ro-trled In 1000 will not justify a delay In placing the country on a pafo financial basis. To do thlH demands the best and most stable form of paper currency. No ono presumes to recommend a contraction of the cur rency. No one would limit us to the use of gold as a medium of exchange. All that Is claimed , and all that Inheres In the verdict of 1SOG , Is that the value of each dollar of United States currency , whether of coin or paper , shall bo the vaiuo of 2o.S grains of standard gold , Speaking of the changed conditions which these coming on the field of action today liavo lo confroni , Iho governor said : It Is estimated that steam costs per horse power about $1CO per annum. He who can only do whal a steum englno can must ex pect low wages , nnd no power or legisla tion will grant adequate relief. Chances In our civilization cannot be prohibited by law , or vetoed by executive * authority. .Sub stantial protection of our Industries against thn homeless nnd honnle8H lnhnrprH nf Europe alleviates. The suppression of child labor , enforced sanitation and kindred of- forls all tend lo abate the hardship * , The abolition of trusts and monopolies would re lieve , but must not bo expected to cure. Encouraging laborers to oppose every measure desired by their employers never has proven helpful , and each effort to ar ray class against class has been abortive of good. good.ONE ONE PARTIAL UE.MEDY. How" shall we prepare the citizen to meet existing conditions ? ICducate him make a thinker of him. Protect him from here sies by teaching ! him logic ; teach him math- cmallcs , language , hlsiory , philosophy , mental nnd moral science. He may become a producer of something either rare or useful. The producer of an Industry that employs ten men Is an helpful to the state ns the producer of the wheat that frtds them , The producer of nn Improvement In the method of making butter renders bol ter service lhan ho who merely puts this method Into operation ; nnd ho who In turn produces the holler nrllc0 ! by thus making use of lhe product of the other's mind adds moro to human happiness than ho who pro duces only rejected goodx , lie pone forovcr the cant tlmt ho alone renders service who performs manual labor , or that the founda. lions of our government rest upon muscle rather than mind. Muscle Is cheap ; the rivers are full of It , the winds laden with It , the very clouds Hiircharged with It , but mind la mighty scarce everywhere anil brings n Jil/ih / price. In the American mar ket. It will require an artlclo of a llttlo higher grade , howuver , to meet the demands - mands of the twentieth century , than was merchantable In the njnetcenlh. The bcsl product of the pralrlo Is not com , but men ; and the quarter section that produces a thinking man full Hedged with nil hl pow ers may well bo held to have performed Its mlHulon. EDUCATIONAL OBSERVATIONS. Our public ccliool system In justly the t-ub- ject of admiration. It has accomplished much and wo do weJl to foster U. It la not without weaknesses , however. The city nnd town graded school may fulfill Its mission with Eomo measure of completeness , but the country district school , in my judgment , somewhat to meet requirements. The common observation of men In middle llf Justin * the statirmnt that children lenv the d .itricl school nt ft much earlur ng thnn formerly. A peniTatfon ngo fllpebr wid geometry were qultn frequently laugh In the district school. The uld-tltno si-hool master Is superseded by Ihoso once suppose * lo bo children , nnd to render their employ menl practicable the attendance of pupil who have rrflched tin nqe when tup value o an education la iipproclnted Is prohibited Iowa wisely mnlmalns n nugnlllcont unl vcrslty within the rencli of the nluh schoo graduate , but It has made no provision fo the country boy nnd girl to prepare to cntc II.

The stale ought to provide llbcrn things for nil Its educational Institutions but ought also to-provlde some means lo ns slst the country pupil to take , mlvantng thereof. The town nnd city gradMl Fchoo Is designed soli'ly for these who enler U 1 Infancy and remain continuously. It neces sarlly ofTcr * poor encouragement for th country pupil who may bo be-hlnd In som branches , though "perhaps fully abreast I these which tend to make thinking men It will lake the greater narl of n year to KC graded , and ho might about as 'well miss i year ns to lose , n term.

There arc great possibilities In the rura population of lawn. No Inconsiderable mini her of the Industrious thinkers of cart ! have como from tun farm. The rising generation oration of Iowa ought , nnd surely will , carr westward the laurels now held by the mid illo stales. II has nhvnya been lhe first rurn born generation of men that hns given n stale Us reputation. Na.vhere Is there sucl Indomitable courage , such Incessant Industrj nnd such constant hope ns among thos who follow Iho pioneer , and transform til wilderness Inlo a garden wllh villas , nnd th children of these men and women have nl ways beep heard from. With such a gen cratlon now of practical school age , shnl Iowa neglect thorn ? 'Mollves ' of pnlrlollsn as well ns of philanthropy ought to scour for them ns good opportunities as uro In aurcd their town nnd city cousins , BUSINESS METHODS. Much has been said In some sections of the slale , but none too much , about Iho applied lion of business principles lo state affairs All this meats my most hearty approval Will any forbid me the presumption tha we are all , without regard to party , In tensply Interested In the success of this nil ministration , I can assure you that I nn and to that end I desire the assistance o every peed citizen. Permit me , then , to suggest that It will nol evidence1 good busi ness methods on the part of the publlo to either pralso or bhimo every net of olllcla discretion , for it Is safe to assume they wll bo neither wholly good nor wholly bad The prudent housewife only criticises par ticular Items of maladministration , taking care to point out the specific errors com plained of , that they may be corrected nnd not repeated , and thus exercises more In fluence In the affairs of hep homo than MIL common scold , who seeks to discover nothIng - Ing worthy of lu'r commendation , and Is able to disclose nothing subject to censure Should anything connected with the affairs of stale within the purview of the execu tive department cjme to the knowledge of any citizen , calculated to cause a suspicion of evil , or should any discover wherein , li his opinion , the resources of the stale are being extravagantly expended. It should be his duty , as It Is my desire , to promptly re port HIP same , with as much particularity ns possible , to the administration , that It may be Investigated and corrected If within my power , nnd otherwise that the Intention of the legislature may be directed thereto and a speedy remedy recommended. In the absence of such particularized complaint let us all Indulge the happy presumption thnt the departments of state are being fairly conserved , that the public servant Is about as honest as Iho private Individual , tlmt the citizen Is neither made grealcr nor less , belter nor wora3 , simply by being called from private privilege to public duty , and that officials are generally wont to bring to the service of lhe state the same measure of Integrity , Industry , care , fore thought and economy that ho has mani fested In the humbler and more congenial walks of life. At the conclusion of the ceremonies the joint session of the legislature , on motion , adjourned , each house going 'back ' to Its chamber. WATCH FOR PARROTT.
