Conclusion Of Justice Harlan's
Speech.
tFRoN LAST WEEK.

had supposed that this, the
last day of the twenty-five years of
my judicial service, would pass
without observation, except, per-
haps within the limits of my own
domestic circle. / ami here, at
your invitation, grateful for this
generous expression of goodwill
and personal interest. 1t is more
than my poor service deserved.
If my countrymen think that the
duties of the great Office so long
held by me have been discharged
with conscientious regard for the
law, or for what l deemed to be the
law, and with an eye single to the
ends of justice and right and truth,
my descendants will have in this
estimate of my judicial life a legacy
more precious than any : that l
could possibly leave them.
/ have not been inseasible, gen.
tlemen, to the distinction, the mere
worldly distinction of seat upon
the bench of the Supreme Court of
the United States-a Union.
1t is indeed, high honor to be
member of such a tribunal. But
permit me to say that there has
been no moment during my term of
service when l have not been deep
ly sensible of the awful response
bility resting upon every member
Of that court.
The power of the Supreme Court
for good, as we'll as for evil, can
scarcely be exaggerated. 1t can
by its judgments strengthen our
institutions in the confidence and
affections of the people, or, more
easily than any other department
of the government, it can under
mine the foundation of our govern
mental system, IL can-to use the
words of Chief Justice Marshal
Explain away the Constitution of
our country, and leave it magni-
ficent structure, indeed, to look at,
but totally unfit for use"
But we all rejoice that it has it
in its power to mold the country in
the path of safety, so that to-day
our people believe that the preser-
vation of the Union. under the Con
stitution, is the surest guarantee of
liberty regulated by law as well as
of the success of all movements
and all policies demanded by the
common good. If our institutions
should oe assailed and overthrown
no matter by whom or in what
way-whether by arbitrary power,
by corruption, or by lawlessness,
the last citadel to be taken by the
assailants will be our Incompatible
judicial organization.

the horrible iniquities of the old
Panama Canal Company, as well as
the new one. He said there had
been spent on that canal $500, 000,-
600, and there was nothing to show
for it except two-ffths of ditch
dug there which was filed up to
large extent.
