There was a time when our city was justly known fur its quiet uniLgoOd order. It Is not so now.• Crime no longer lurks msecret. It is bold and defiant. It strikes down its victims upon our highways, in our saloons, and in our places of business. It follows its qs sedates te the very doors of our halls of justice and aids them in their night and escape from the bands of the law. It has reached, I hope ' its culmination. Smug as crime Lae proved itself to be, the law Is stronger, and it we aro to have a direct Jostle between crime and Tullianism upon the one baud and the law upon the other, be far as it may depend upon tho action of this Court the law shall reign supreme.' ' After referring to theeauses, including that of whisky, leading to the increase of crime, the Judge said : " An other reason for this increase of crime le the indulgence and sympathy which it meats at the hands of too many of our citizens.

The Speaker remarked that his suggestion had been 'that only those members whose credentials wore abso lutely unchallenged Should present themselves, and that he would pot administer the oath to any member against whom an 'objection should be made.
