ROYAL BAKING POWDER.

MPowers responded, saying that they had
come here as strangers, but & feeling of
regard had grown up between them.
They were for San Francisco, the State
ana the country, first, last and all the
time. They had given 10 the amen cor
ner all 1t asked, and had received all they
felt entitled to.
Brusie, Beltman and Bachmau were
appointed committee to go with Burke,
Deuison and VOORHEES, from the Senate
To asE the Governor II ho wanted to send
| any other meSSlgs to the Legislature
PRIOR 20 adjournment, and when they re-
tGrned they announced he had no further
messages to send.
Laugenour said that there was an AS
sembly Clerk here who had been an at
tache Tor eighteen sessions, and also at
one Constitutional Convention, serving
his FIRST session in the old Capitol at
Seventh and streets. He moved vote
OF thanks to Ed. j. Smith, Assistant
Clerk, for his faithful service SO ordered.
Bachman presented the baby mem Der.
| North, with whistle as the badge OF his
! otllce, and \ Orth said he was not to blame
Tor being the youngest and would get
| over that. He was Indebted to Thomas,
| who was the youngest member last ses-
! sion, Tor all the good in legislation that
be learned this session, and TO the older
members for all that he had learned that
| was bad.
Thomas was called on for a speech, and
made an eloquent and patriotic one.
Phelps was also called on and said that
their work was about to pass into history
and the people would judge of its value.
All had been actuated by the best of
principles. The young men have demon
strated that they are able to take care of
legislation when the older ones have
passed away. lie believed we possessed
more OF the elements of greatness than
any other people, but before we can be-
come great, we must cast Off the financial
yoke OF England. Why should the
greatest nation on earth be dictated to by
a foreign nation? Let America declare
her Independence as she did in I776.
Bachman said he believed that those
who had done their work we'll and faith
1uIlv should have some rec Ognition of it.
he moved the compliments OF the House
to Bulla, the Chairman of the Judiciary
Committee. Applause.
Bulla said he was not an orator. IF he
had any fitness for the business of a lepis-
lator, 1t was that he was always ready to
do his share OF work. 1t was a strange
thing that eighty men should come from
all parts of the State and in two months
become friends, and Notwithstanding the
tact that they were urging diverse and
separate interests. When they parted
should earnestly nope to meet again. The
people made mistake, he thought, when
they refused to adopt constitutional
amendment making the term 100 days.
II was impossible to legislate to ady8n-
tage in sixty days, and he hoped that the
people would soon realize that it is false
economy. The great curse Of the State is
that the Legislature Is compelled to do
hastY legislation. After all the hard
work Of the committees, many good bills
are left on the file. He hoUe great thinps
from the Code Commission. The peopie
do not understand the Legislature, and
think it is composed of robbers They
are wrong, as the Legislature comes from
the people and wishes to do right. He
thanked the Judiciary Committee for the
support OF their kindness and the hard
work they had done, and also the mem
| bers.
Lynch said there was another commit
tee, to the Chairman OF which the ASSEM-
bly, owed thanks, and that was the Ways
and Means Committee.
Brusle said the work OF the committee
was not due to himself, but to the way
the members OF 1t got down to work, aud
also to the Secretary, j. l.. Gillis and he
desired the praise to rest where it be-
longs.
Dodge was called on and said that he
| felt kindly toward all the members and
hoped they did towards him. He had
| worked hard for the county government
| bill, which would do great good to the
State He had also succeeded in getting
through bill that Will prevent foreign
. DuDIlC
! Applause.
Reid, when called for. said that he had
tried to do what was for the best. If we
had Legislature half as large and less
committees the members would know
! more OF the bills they were voting on
| There should be an amendment to the
! Constitution so that no bill should be IN
troduced after the session was half over.
ana that would give proper time Tor con-
slder2tlOn Cf bills. Measures are not
fully debated on and slip through during
the last days without proper scrutiny
There is sometimes fault found because
there Is too much talking, but he believed
that bills should be debated.
Rev. .. Summers was called for and
| made speech that elected much an
plause, and showed him to be popular
among the members.
lie said he was proud to be introduced
! by his Democratic friend from San Fran
cisco (O'Day). He should never fail TO
| express his gratitude for the honor con-
| terred upon him. 1t had consolidated his
race. de had met Mr.. Bachmau here
| They had fought on different sides dur-
! ing the war, but tney shook hands here
1t was probably tho first time the South
eru soldier and the negro soldier OF tie
/ Union army had ever shaken hauds Ii o
felt that he had the goodwill Of ali the
members, and thanked them ali for their
! kindness to him.
Kelsey the hero of California. the in
troducer ofthe high-hat bill, !" declined 10
speak.
Wade said he came here solely to trans
act business, and he thought the rest did
also. The people would pass the verdict
on their work. They had not always
agreed, but their differences had been
honest and he believed they had done
good for the State. The election laws
would work much change for the better,
Laird was called on to tell what be-
came of the rabbit scalp bill, but did not
/ furnish the information.
Rowell, Butler and Dixon all spoke
! briefly.
The Chair appointedI Hatfield, Swisler
/ and Toinbiln as committee to inform
/ the Senate that the Assembly was ready
I TO adjourn.
Speaker Lynch said that this was the
( hardest worked, the most faithful and
! honest Legislature that ever assemb bled,
and at Loo A. II. Reid moved that the
! Assembly do now adjourn sine die
The motion was carried, and the thirty
! first session was thing of the past
