Raleigh, January 28.? The out
standing feature of last week in
legislative circles was the message of
Governor McLean to a joint session
of the Assembly on Weilnes'day in the
Hall of the House. The address was
a comprehensive survey of the State s
business, accompanied with import
ant and valuable recommendations
looking to the application of needed
remedies to meet the- urgent needs of
the hour. The Governor would not re
tard the progress of the common
wealth in any sense, bue he Wants to
proceed on a -sale and sane" basis.
Enlargement of public institutions
to an "extent thai will enable them" to
kee'p pace with the State's steady and
so I'd development, meets the -Gov
ernor's approval. ? yet he would 1...

The Governor's ' suggestions were

purpose of Governor McLean to de
vote his entire time to weightier
matters of the State, instead of
wearing himself out in the consocia

mind of the Governor to shirk any
duty, but to discharge every obli
gation to the best of his ability. A
capable man as Commissioner of
Pardons, who could prepare all cases
in a proper way, would relieve the
Executive of no little worry and de
tail.

Several administration measures

will insist upon the budget system
of handling the affairs of all state de
partments, and revision in the judic

Executive. Whether the Legislature
is in accord with his views on this
particular proposition to be ascer

cates the desire to evolve a plan for
the expansion of the Geological and

message, to the General Assembly,
