N. Y. Mail and Express, Republican:
The President has made no mistake in APP
pointing TO the Chief Justiceshio Mr.. Mel
vile W. Fuller, the ablest and brainiest
lawyer ofthe age in Chicago. Even here there
are many lawyers who have been aware of
the high position he has won in his pro-
fession, and his speeches as Democratic
politician have made him known to the
well-lnformed leaders of his party, notably
his enlogy of his old leader, Douglas, in a
speech before the Iroquois Club, on the
23d of last April, which was in his best
style strong, concise, epigrammatic and
spirited. The phrase he coined for text
was In itself an nspiration-"The Repub-
lie Is opportunlty"-and its illustrations
In the political career of Douglas were
most apt, admirable and telling.

the strikers could not prevent the brewers
from brewing they held meeting at their
headquarters, and in secret ccnclsvs and
IN the silence Of night conceived the most
diabolical scheme Of vengeance on their
late employers, ever coneeiyed by mortal
man. What do you think It WASP That
they should drink no more beer. Imagine
the sacrifice Of public spirited citizen who

A project is on foot to give benefit to
Lester Wallack on his retirement from
dublic life, and it is said that all tho lead
ing members of the profession have yOun
teered. While this no doubt will be an
excellent thing for Mr.. Wallack, I really
can't conceive what claim he has on the
public or profession for benefit. In a
quarter of century he has received for his
personal services and profits on his iheatri-
cal ventures over million of dollars. For
everything he has done he has been re-
markably well paid, and for twenty years
past he has lived in the style of a million
aire. He has had his town house and his
country house, his valet and his yacht; he
has courted the society OF aristocrats and
snobs, and has endeavoFed to cultivate
them as far as he was able. The American
drama and American actors owe him moth
ing, and with single exception, John
Gilbert, his company has been recruited in
London and Dublin, and all of his drama
tic royalties have gone into foreign pockets.
For years he has been the Turvydrop of the
profession, poising on his shape and travel
ing on his department His company is
now broken up, and he himself practically
laid on the shelf; his great fortune has
gone, as Mr. Fisk remarked, "where the
woodbine twineth." But If the old gentle
man is in need hope the public will give
him bumper.
