PARIS EXPOSITION oF 1900.

] believe that the time is especially
opportune for presenting TO the
aroused attention of the commercial
nations of the world a full exhibit Of
the agricultural and mineral resources
of this country, its works of art, the
products of its manufactures, its at
tainments in science, and it's achieve
ments in promoting the education,
health and welfare of its people.
This is owing to the present unpar-
alleled volume of our national exports
of manufactured goods as well as of
raw products ito the opening of new
markets to the commerce Of the world,
in which this country must win its
share, and to the great increase in our
national prestige consequent upon re-
cent events which have directed to us
the eyes of the, world.
Massachusetts will not fail to avail
herself Of the opportunity thus Of
fered. Through an enlightened self
interest as well as through state pride.
her manufacturers, her inventors ard
all other classes of her citizens should
unite to present an exhibit commen-
surate with the intelligence, Industry
and enterprise of the commonwealth.
I trust, too that provision may be
made for such exhibits of the several
state departments as may be deemed
of sufficient Importance and interest

increased the volume of business in
the courts, and have from time to time
rendered necessary notifications of our
judicial system.
The supreme judicial court has be-
come to a greater extent than formerly
a court in banc, and to the superior
court have been transferred exclusive
jurisdiction in cases of murder, divorce
and tort, concurrent jurisdiction in
equity and increased jurisdiction in
other departments of law, so that it is
now the principal trial court of the
state.
Notwithstanding the dignity of the
office and the great Importance of the
work, there seems to be a growing d4s-
inclination on the part of members of
the bar, possessing the necessary quail
ifications in character and learning, to
enter upon judicial life. This is espe-
cially true in. commercial centres, where
professional competition is most in
tense and professional experience most
valuable. The greater remuneration
attending the practice of the law is
doubtless the main cause of this disin-
clination to accept appointments to the
bench
While the commonwealth has been
fortunate SO far in maintaining the
high standard of the judiciary, and
while 1t would not be proper in my
opinion to make judicial salaries equal
to large private incomes, or So high
as to attract from merely pecuniary
point of view, l suggest as proper
inquiry, in view of the vital import
ance of securing the first order of abil-
ity and character for the judicial office,
and as a measure of justice to those
who fill it, whether the salaries Of the
justices of the two highest courts
should not be increased to a nearer cor
respondence with the returns Of the
same degree of ability and learning in
private life

GOV. woLcoTT,s ADDRESS.

The first portion of Governor VOL
colts message deals exclusively with
the war, and the part the common
wealth had to do in driving the Span
iards out of Cuba and Porto Rico. He
states that the First regiment, heavy
artillery, M. v NJ, was the first regi-
ment from any state to be mustered in
during the late war. The journey of
the historical Sixth regiment through
the streets of Baltimore is dwelt upon
as an incident of national interest and
significance The men furnished by
massachusetts, is given as between II, :
600 and $4,000. the quota of the state
under the calls of the president ag-
gregating 1888. The governor adds
that-it is believed that the state had
more regiments in actual service in the
race OF the enemy than any other
state The incalculable benefits of the
massachusetts, Volunteers Aid Asso-
clatlon are also alluded to in most COM
pllmentary terms, and the work of
sherman Hoar in behalf of the citizen
soldier calls forth a warm eulogy from
| the chief executive
In the closing part of the message,
reIatlve TO the war, the governor says:
Such, in brief, has been the record of
the commonwealth of Massachusetts in
| the war of 1898
l have considered it proper to include
| the above incomplete narrative of
events in nay address to the general
court, in part because the past year is
destined to be regarded hereafter as
an important one in the history of our
country and it seemed on this account
hitting that an official statement should
be made of the part played by Massa-
chusetts in the great events which have
rendered the year memorable, and in
part because the legislature of 1898
conferred certain unusual powers up
on the executive, and I deemed it nv
duty to render an account of nv ac-
ton in their exercise. Her citizens
have abundant cause to regard the
record thus made by the commonwealth
with just pride.
once again, as in earlier crises of our
national history, Massachusetts has
shown herself among the foremost cf|
the states of the union to respond with
ready loyalty to the requirements of
the national government With the
utmost promptnesss. and in obedience
to the calls of the president, she has
rurnlshed from her militia force effi-
cient and well-equipped regiments
which, under circumstances of peculiar
hardship and peril, have added to the
military fame of the commonwealth
she has shown her willingness literally
to provide for her sons who have en-
tered the service of the national gov
eminent, and tenderly and reverentlv
to care for the sick and the dead.
| In word, she has shown that neither
the quietude of long-continued peace
nor the engrossment of her citizens in
| commercial pursuits has dulled the ear
| OF her young men when the bugle mote
of duty is sounded, and that the patri-
otism and valor of an earlier dav have
lost nothing Of their vitality in trans
mission from sire to son.
The governor then continues in sub
| stance as follows.

THE COMMONWEALTH.

Gentlemen of the Senate and House
of Representatives: You have been Sc
lected by your fellow citizens to per-
form in their behalf high and re-
sponsible service. Each one Of you is
the chosen representative of constit-
tency of many thousand; but your
duty and responsibility are bounded by
no narrow lines of locality or of time,
but embrace the entire commonwealth
and the distant future.
What you do here may have conse-
Guencess whether of good or i'll, far be-
yond the vision of the present genera
ton. In all their deliberations and
in all their official acts the executive
and the legislature alike will do well
to remember that they are adding to
the history Of a state which for more
than two and three-quarters centuries
las written her name large and fair
on the record which tells of lofty as
piration and honorable citizenship.
During this frightening period the
commonwealth has maintained a pure
and learned judiciary, which has ad-
ministered justice without discrimina-
ton between the rich and poor, the
powerful and the humble; as she was
the fast to acknowledge the duty of
the state freely to educate all her chill
drcn. so she has ever with wise liberal
ity promoted the general diffusion of
knowledge: to all she has extended
freedom OF religious belief and the
equal protection of her laws in the pub
lie worship Of God: in war her sons
have never failed to show resolute pur-
pose and unfinching courage; in peace
her statesmen have possessed the clear
vision which reads the coming future,
AMI her citizens, through industry and
enterprise, have attained a. degree of
general prosperity scarcely equalled
among the peoples of the earth her
homes have been virtuous, her people
contented her poets and historians
have made honorable the fame OF
American letters; her inventions and
discoveries have aided to revolutionize
industry and to make, comfortable the
lives Of those who toll from genera
tion to generation she has kept afame
a beacon light of intelligence and high
purpose. which has carried into many
dark places the illumination Of human
ity ana civilization.
Such Is the commonwealth whose
public and trusted servants we are
Such is the lustre Of her fame. which
IL Is in our power to tarnish or TO trans
mir with its fun radiance undimmed
In serving the common veal, we serve
the commonwealth May our service
be worthy OF her great past and Of her
greater future.

STATE HOUSE.

Modern methods of construction have
made possible and profitable tha erec-
ton of buildings of great height, which
tend TO render adjoining streets and
neighboring estates sunless and gloomy
and in case of fire to increase the dan
ger to life.
The necessity of restricting the height
of buildings and regulating their con-
struction as protection to life and
property and as a measure to promote
the public welfare, has been repeatedly
recognized in this commonwealth and
in other states.
By statutes enacted in 1896 and 1897
Massachusetts has authorized the park
commissioners of any city or town ac-
cepting the provisions of the act, to
restrict the erection of buildings with
In % feet of any parkway boulevard
or public way on which park borders,
to the height of seventy feet. On the
petition of the trustees of the Boston
Public library and of the Museum Of
Fine Arts, as well as Of many other
citizens, the last legislature made spe-
DIAL provision for limitation upon the
height of buildings bordering upon
Copley square.
The eXpediency of similar protection
for the state house and adjoining
grounds is worthy of consideration Our
beautiful and historic state house,
browning Beacon hill, has for a century
been one of the chief distinctions of
Boston, and one of the most precious
possessions of the commonwealth. The
people of the entire state would regret
to see it overshadowed and its neigh
borhood' dishgured. I invite you to con-
slider the advisability of providing for
the state house of this commonwealth
such protection as has already been
accorded to other public buildings and
to public parks.

An examination of the above figures
shows that in four years the net debt
of the commonwealth has increased
more than threefold, emphasizing the
duty and necessity of rigid scrutiny on
the part of your honorable bodies of all
propositions to incur further indebt-

state tax of 1898 was materially lower
than it has been for the past 10 years
