SANTA FE N. M. MONDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1895

We are nob pdGtlng on harness but putting
it on. Yet think may venture
to say of the future, in the light of the
past, that if we do something which
for the moment seems inadequate, it may
be that time which has justified
itself for us on many occasions may
do 80 again. Those who have acted with
wisdom heretofore may he fairly expect
ed to act. with wisdom hereafter. l
am sorry to say that the pleasure asso-
ciated with the honor you have bestowed
on me, an honor which no American citi-
zen can fail to appreciate, and for which
give thanks, is but for a moment, while
the cares and responsibilities extsnd over
many days. So far as the performance
of my duties affects the whole people of
the United States, I invoke their con-
siderate judgment. So far as it affects
the members of this house, ask from
both sides of the chamber that cordial
cooperation without which can not hope
to succeed, assuring them that no effort
on my part will be spared to aid them in
the performance OF their duties by that
entire impartiality which is their just
