WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 8.

1896. the State, Buch measures us in bis judgment are necessaty and expedient, and the report of the Comptroller contains his statement of the condition of the Treasury Department, I ask you to give them your careful consideration. I have had more experience in the oflice with which 1 have been entrusted, I may ask you to make some changes and reforms that may seem advisable. a most exciting campaign, as the candidate of the Republican party, have lieen chosen your Executive by a phenomenal uprising of the people, who, discontented with the present order, sultordinated politics to good government. We are now confronted with many important questions, which, if we would solve satisfactorily, we must remember the high importance of our position, hud not be tempted to com promise our duty for partisan advantage.

a party we can only hope to strengthen ourselves by serving the public honestly and well. We, who have been invested with the Executive and Legislative power of the State, are the trustees of the people, and wbat we do should be for their interests. that spirit animate alike the General Assembly and the Executive. Let us give the people ah economical government, retrenching excuses, reforming abuses. Let us bear in mind the promises so often made during the campaign and forget none of them after a triumphant election.

Lei, us be faithful and active, let us be conservative, cautious and safe. Republican party is pledged to a fair assessment and just taxation. Iu fulfillment of this promise a re-assessment law should be promptly passed, in order that the burdens of taxation may be more equitably distributed. What that law shall be depends upon your wisdom and judgment. A law that would be satisfactory to eveiy one would be a miracle, but we can' have one that is just and practicable; a law comprehensive enough to require each person to bear taxes aceording to actual worth in real and personal property, yet so guarded as not to impose undue burdens upon any of our diversified interests.

agricultural interests should receive fair consideration. For yean our farmers with reduced incomes have been taxed on farm values greatly in excess of prevailing prices, thus imposing upon them an unequal share of taxation. elective franchise is one most sacred rights of a citizen which cannot be too jealously guarded. Oar election laws should be amended and so framed as to insure to the people absolutely fair registration, to guarantee to every voter the inestimable privilege of casting his vote with the right to have that vote honestly counted, and to secure to the people honest machinery of elec' tions without any advantage to the ty in power. use of money at elections, beyond the necessary excuses, is corrupting; its increasing use iu this State is demoralizing and calls for tlie especial consideration of this Assembly.

tion of these laws should be clearly fiued.the method of proof facilitated and prompt and severe punishment should 1 follow conviction. EX-GOV. FRANK BROWN. Retired from Office January 8, 1896. some of our State officials should give way to those more closely allied in principle to the party in power, vet we should heed the demand for Civil Service Reform, and extend wherever practicable in this State, and its principal cities, the merit system of appoint ments to office.

should lie glad to see the light of selection of many of our public officers restored to thejieople wherever it can he done with a due regard for the public interest; this being in harmony with our theory of government and a safeguard against centralization of political power in the hands of the Governor. public school system should be brought up to the hightest standard of efficiency; removed from politics, made subservient only to the great end and aim of its creation, thefree education of all. lam ready to co-operate in the accomplishment of this object, and to approve any proper measure looking to tlufurnishing of free school books. colored people of our State should be protected in the enjoyment of those rights and privileges of citizenship which they have under the Constitution and law's of the United States, and be assisted in their laudable efforts for advancement. They have a right to ask at our hands a fostering of the present system of separate free schools for their children, with teachers of their own if they so desire them.

Their growing intelligence seeks only ail equal opportunity under the laws to work out their own advancement by equality of political rights to secure the civil rights which are their due. are other subjects of Importance to our progress and welfare which would seem to call for special mention, hut cannot now be considered at length. There is need of legislation to develop the agricultural interests of the State; the encouragement of im important under a conservative republican administration than ever before; the lietter regulation of the liquor traffic; limitation of the debt incurring capacity of our counties and cities; the correction of the partisan abuse of the Oyster Police; the preservation to the people of the oyster industry; a liberal policy encouraging the building of good roads, and an honest purpose to hear and heed the just demands of the workingmen. These are subjects in which the General Assembly may rely upon my hearty cooperation. is a very urgent demand being made for a modification of our pilot laws in the interest of trade with the of Baltimore.

1 commend this subject to the careful consideration of the General Assembly. us remem her after the election that we are all fellow citizens of an ancient and noble commonwealth, that the offices are few and the people are many, and those who hold the offices, hold them not for power or preferment, but for a specific fulfillment of pledges to the people. Thus we may early convince the good people of Maryland that Republican administration is to become a blessing. I am deeply indebted for my election to the political party to which I belong, yet I am aware, unless I had had the support of many independent thinkers, I could not have been successful, and while I shall try to do my part towards my party. I shall also remember I am the Governor of the whole people of Maryland, and as such give all due consideration.

ask you, Senators and Gentlemen of the House of Delegates to help me to bear the responsibilities of my with an honest purpose to advance every reform, and make this administration an era of good government, I invoke tlie guidance of a Divine hand iu ail our endeavors. am now ready, Mr. Chief Justice, to take the oath of While the ceremonies on the stand were in progress, the members of both Houses of the Legislature assembled iu in the Senate Chamber, to which room Governor Lowndes repaired as soon as be had finished speaking, and took the following oath of office, which was administered by Chief Judge Robinson, and signed the Constitution in the test book which had been piaeed upon the desk by Clerk J. Frank Ford, of the Court of Appeals. THE OATH OF OFFICE.

do swear that 1 will support the Constitution of the United States aud that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the State of Maryland and support the constitution and laws thereof, and that I will, to the beet of my skill and judgment, diligently and faithfully, without partiality or prejudice, execute the office of Governor according to tne constitution aud laws of this State, and that I will not, directly or indirectly, receive the profits or any part of the profits of any other office during the term of my acting as Governor Lowndes then returned to the Executive Chamber and received the congratulations of many persons.

THE NEW SECRETARY OF STATE. Ttkt-ii Charge the Ottlce gpniem' Retained.

A Significant Departure.

With the departure of another year when a review is made of the condition of affairs, it is only right that some thought he given to the physical body which enables everyone to battle wRh life's problem and figure for themselves the profit or loss on the trial lutlance sheet. Though the batik account may be large and each material gain be great, it would uot be surprising if it suddenly dawns upou many that good health has been greatly imjKivei ished by the low condition of the blood. It is in this state that the lactic acid in the vital fluid attacks the fibrous tissues, particularly the joints, making known the local manifestations of rheumatism. Thousands of people have found in Sarsaparilla the great blood purifier, a postive and permanent cure for rheumatism.
