CHARLES ]. FoLaER was wise Judge
Every office he has held has shown him
to be an exemplary man to whom his
public duties were paramount over every
private consideration. We had hoped
and supposed he would distinguish bim-
self in the Treasury Department ere this,
but he has not. He has a magnificent
field in which to operate. We should
like to see him show himself as thor
ough reforner and clean out some of the
rottenness and corruption with which
that important branch of the Government
has been too long infested. There is time
yet, and Judge Folser may rise to the oc-
cssion. We hope SO.
