How the President Conducts Himself in a
Place of Public Amusement.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18-I was chatting, the
other day, with the manager of one of the lead
ing theaters in Washington, and he told me a
fact or two about the visits of the Presidents to
his theater.
Their manner of visiting the theater," he
said, 'is as distinctive as their politics per-
sonal peculiarties. President Grant used to
come down here in the most transformations
way, suggest that he would like to have box,
if there was one to spare, thank US for the cour-
tesy, and remain throughout the evening, or
for an act or two dependent upon whether
the entertainment pleased him or not. Presi-
dant Arthur, on the other hand, would send
word down by his secretary late In the after
noon. saying that he would be there that night
and would like the best box, for which the sec
rotary would pay. The curtain would be held
sill Sis that night in the hope that President
Arthur and party would arrive. but he was new
err known to come until after half -past g. Then
we would all be vexed, because 1t meant stop
ping Of action of the play for several minutes,
and nervousness on the part OF the players that
was not overcome until late in the evening. now,
President Cleveland's course is quite the OPP
posite. He always arrives five or ten minutes
before 8o'clock. having secured his box very late
in the afternoon, and pledging everybody to
secrecy as to his intentions. Last year he only
came once, and on that occasion insisted upon
coming and going by private entrance, so that
not twelve people in the house knew that he was
present. This year, however, it is different
Mrs Cleveland evidently likes the theater. and
they are present at all performances of especial
merit And there is no private entrance bust
ness this year, either. The party come and go
ike the rest of the audience, and instead of that
embarrassed almost repellant air that charac-
terized the President in crowds year ago. there
is a good natured, although bored, look in his
face, as he passes through gaping, well-dressed
epnyvds

and. becoming involved in a divorce suit with
his young wife. wretchedly died. Judge Camp
bell, or Detroit the most scholarly and urbane
lawyer in the West, is still on the bench, but
will undoubtedly decline reelection next spring.
Of tho three, Judge Cooley was UNNECESSARILY
the greatest being even more eminent law
writer than Judge His work on Constitutional
Limitations is the greatest American treatise
perhaps the greatest in the language His
Common taries" on Blackstone and his work on
Taxation" rank equally high.
1t would be hard to conceive taller or slen-
derer figure than that which carries Judge
Cooley's head about The latter organ is pro-
portionatey long and narrow. The most con-
spcuous feature of the face is the nose, and the
next the tightly closed and determined lips. The
eyes bright, but their light is hid under
beetling pair of brows. Judge Cooley has almost
none of the elements of popularity. His out
ward bearing is chilly, his manner distracted,
his voice thin and rasping. In spite of these
defects he manages to attract large audi
ences and to hold them closely for hours
This he does by the beautiful luciditv of
his mind and his perfect command of the subject
whatever it may be- Yet he is not learned
man outside of the branches parallel to his pro-
fession. His daily life is so systematized that
he is capable of enormous volume of work,
and does it constantly. The new duties thrust
upon him will necessitate the REIMBURSEMENT of
some already in hand, for he is now lecturer
and dean in the School of Political Science at
Ann Arbor, and a constant writer as well. Much
of the manual work of utLorship he imposes
upon himself, writing rapidly in a small neat
hand, with stub pen. He is impatient of in
terruption and disagreeahly vinegary with
strangers.
Judge Cooleys recent address to the Bar AS
sociation of Charleston. the subject of States
Rights" was but an expression of sentiments
which he has cherished for many years, and
which long ago he embodiedSin his book On
Constitutional Limitations" He holds to the
strict construction of the Constitution, and is as
deadly foe of the Capitalization theory of govern
ment any Democrat south of Mason and Dix
ons line. All this has made him very popular
in the South, though it lost him many friend
at the North in years past, when local prejudice
ran higher than regard for theoretical truth
So that. while Judge Cooley has always been
accounted Republican, his devotion to the
party has more than once been doubted by
more fiery partisans. His defeat in the recent
judicial elections partially the outgrowth of
this but more largely by the active opposition
of Detroit newspaper, against whose proprie-
tor he had confirmed an adverse decision In
libel cult, entailinc verdict for 800, 900.
