arrested and where the better judg- ment of the people would find ulti- mate expression. Those who ir their unreflecting moments would sweep it away would overturn one of the strongest safeguards of oul political fabric.
 I can not sever the personal ties which have been formed here with out deep emotion. I am your grate- ful debtor for countless courtesies and kindnesses, and to your generous assistance and thoughtful forbear- ance l am indebted for whatever success may have attended my cf- forts as president of the senate.
 It gives me pleasure to acInowl- edge the very great assistance which the chair has always received from the officers of the senate and from these efficient, faithful gentle men at the desk.
 For the able and distinguished cit izen who has been chosen by the Ieople to succeed me I hespeak that considerate and effective support which you have given to me.
 I wish for you each many years Ol LII htkbNApA AD AAiE lA- terests of our common country whose welfare and whose honor You have sought to safeguard and ad- vance with ceaseless vigilance and unvarying fidelity.
 Under the operation of law we have reached the close of the Six tieth Congress, and it becomes the duty of the chair to declare the scn- ate adjourned without day.
 The Last of the Senate.
 As soon as MT. Fairbanks had com pleted his remarks a motion to ad- journ the senate sine die was adopted.
 Thegavel was then presented to the new vice president and MT. Sher- man at once called to order the sen ate of the 61st congress, which hac met in obedience to the presidential proclamation converting an eXtraordi- nary session. Rev. Edward Everett Hale, the distinguished chaplain, clad in heavy silken robe, resembling the gowns worn by the justices of the supreme court of the United States, invoked the divine blessing, and in conclusion requested the entire as semblage to join in pronouncing the Lords Prayer. The response was not very general, but to the extent that it was the occasion resembled, for a brief time, a religious rather than an official ceremony.
 Dr. Hale's prayer was as follows:
 T will multiply my people, they shall not be few.
 l will glorify them, and they shall not be small.
 Their congregation shall be estab- lished before me;
 And I will punish all that oppress them.
 Their nobles shall be from them selves and their governor from the midst of them.
 I will cause him to draw near.
 And he shall approach unto Me.
 And ye shall be my people and I shall be your God.
 The law shall not depart from them.
 Be thou strong and of good courage.
 Be not afraid, neither be discour- aged
 For the Lord thy God is with thee withersoever thou goest.
 Father Almighty, this nation is in prayer before Thee today We thank Thee for Thy untold mercies in the past, for Thy guidance to our fathers and Thy protection and blessing ex- tended to them. And we ask Thee for the days before us, for the same blessing, protection and care. Our governors are from ourselves and our rulers from the midst of us. Thy serv- ants whom this people have appointed to execute their laws need and ask Thine Almighty help and blessing, as they oversee this people, as they care for the common life and welfare of the land.
 We pray for them, for the people, that this may be that happy nation whose God is the Lord: that every man may bear his brothers burden. Masters footsteps, all living for each and each living for all.
 The proclamation of the president the senate in extra session was then read and the vice president delivered his inaugural address. MT. Sherman said:
 I he Address of the Vice President.
 Senators: There is no need to re- 'ite the history of this great legisla- i've body. proud of it though we be; Tor yet to suggest methods which | night in coming time enhance it's me and you understand the other.
 Tn a government for any by the l people the necessity of clearly defin- ] ng the rights and limitations of the everal branches thereof is manifest
