OF many good citizens OF our State q
stumbling block In the way OF proper
legislation on that subject since its
adoption. Many subjects OF great I'm
pOrtance TO the State have been dealt
with by You In q conservative and states
manliks manner. You have given Ia
the people that which they demanded nj
your hands-a circuit court which bids
fair to give that efficiency which was
required by the courts and litiganta

"The public works, property Of un-
told value 10 the State, has been watch
| cd by you with q Jealous eye, and guard
cd againet the encroachments OF the
avarlciuus, who would secure the pe0-
ple'a property without c)mpen' q Ion In
return. And while on this subject allow
me 10 remark that the question OF the
public works 10 perhaps the most seri.
Gus OF any that now agitates the minds
OF the people OF our State. A property
that has cost the Taxpayers sixteen mil
lions Of money ought not 10 be lightly
and carelessly considered; but, on the
contrary, those who are more directly In.
terested therein ought and doubtless will
by proper information. secure such
legislation from our successors as will
protect the interest OF the whole people
In this valuable property.
MANY other subjects have had your
careful and timely consideration, among
which 10 the change In the infiiction OF
capital punishment. The registry law

several acts relating 10 the betterment
OF that honorable and worthy element
of our people--the laborers--upon

"And now allow me 10 say, 40 your
presiding officer, that 10 us your associ-
alton for the past two years has been
such that time will never erase from
our memory the many pleasantries that
have passed between us. While indi.
yidual pickering and passion heated In
debate, has sometimes given
rise 10 unpleasant sensation, yet
they were OF character mo.
mentary, and has not been OF
such character a. ought 10 leave an un.
healing scar between members repre-
sentlng q great and magnanimous pe0'
pie. And now 40 We are about to eepa.
rate, and In all human probability will
never all meet again, let us cherish the
hope that we may all meet In an as
sembly where no mistakes occur and
nothing shall transpire to mar the feel
inga Of any. =.
I'm conclusion, allow me TO commit
you TO the care and protection OF Him
who presides over and controls he ae'
sembled worlds. In accordance with
the provision OF House Joint resolution
No. 1903 the hour has arrived that we
should close, and In pursuance thereof
we now declare the House OF Represen
