THE DEAD CHIEF JUSTICE.
The Life and Services of Judge Morrison
Remich Waite.

The Life and Services Of Judge Morrison
Remieh Waite.
Morrison Remich Waite, the deceased
chief justice has left record to which the
patriot may point with pride; for in long
and busy life no act of his can be pointed at
as unpatriotic or dishonorable 1t is indeed
happy thing that the American people are
able to rely so confidently upon the federal
judiciary, and that in the long list of justices
from John Jay to Morrison R. Waite. the
standard of character and fitness has so
rarely been below the highest In a few in
stances, it is charged, the president has
blundered in his appointment, but the good
sense OF the senate has refused to confirm.
In the heat and fury of discussion of the
noted "alien and sedition laws" one Justice
went so far in partisanship as to excite parti-
san wrath, and in 1904. at the instance
of John Randolph, the house of representa-
tives impeached him; but on March 5, 1906,
the senate refused to convict though there
was majority against him on three charges.
This unfortunate judge was Samuel Chase,
one of the signers of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, and appointed justice by Washing
ton in 1895; and it is curious fact that
though his trial excited the whole nation.
the American people have generally forgot
ten it.
John Jay, the first chief justice, sat but
seven years, and in 1875 resigned to 20 as min
lister to England. John Rutledge, of South
Carolina, filed the place for few months,
and Oliver Ellsworth, four years, and then
came the long and splendid service of John
Marshall, FROM 1901 to 1885. Roger B. Taney
followed for twenty-nine years; and thus the
terms OF these two eminent men spanned the
whole interval from early post-revolutionary
times to near the close Of the civil war. In
1854 Salmon P. Chase succeeded Judge
Taney, and was nine years later succeeded
by Judge Waite. Thus, despite the fact that
men generally of advanced age are appointed,
the terms of seven chief justices cover tho
whole constitutional period from 1880 to
1888. Temperance and sound minds in
sound bodies brought them to the eminent
scat, and the same qualities prolonged their
lives in active service beyond the allotted
years of man.

PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES. 1853
1t was in March, 1868, that the prince. who
mad been waiting the. arrival of the princess
a. Gravesend, went on board the royal yacht
Victoria to welcome her. As he reached the
deck Alexandra advanced to the door of the
state cabin to meet him, and the prince took
her by the hand and gave her kiss. Then.
after a brief railway journey to London, was
commenced ride in open carriages through
the city, whose streets were crowded. whose
dlngy walls were hung with streamers and
rich hangings, and from whose river shot up
myrlads Of masts decorated with many COL
ored bunting. Nevertheless the English
chronicler-poor fellow, his pageants are al
ways being spoiled by English weather-says:
"As might be expected, it rained for a
while," and adds, with true English grit.
"but the scene at London bridge was beyond
rivalry" AS the carriages arrived on the
bridge the Danes who accompanied the
princess rose from their seats to gaze at the
shipping, the people who crowded every
building from ground to roof, and the packed
quays. When the princess carriage ap-
peared shout went up, SO sudden, so deafen-
ing, that for moment the young princess
was alarmed, and the prince found it neces-
sary to reassure her. The procession moved
on past the Mansion house, along Cheapside,
through Temple Bar, Trafalgar square to
Hyde park, where 1900 volunteers were
drawn up on either side Of the way. Then,
on the journey to Windsor, it rained some

has given him unanimous and enthusiastic

be as regular as his past. we could say at

son. He began at a low place and has risen
slowly, but he has always been rising. At
school he was somewhat familiarly known as
"Big Eyed Bill" and the girls of those days,
about Wooster, O., used to laugh at the awk-
ward and overgrown youngster, who took it
good humoredly, however, and soon showed
that he had good stuff in him. A lady who
was in school with him, says:
Little did any of us think that boy would
ever amount to anything. He was at the
foot Of our class and the butt Of all-he was
such greenhorn. He lived on farm and
walked into Wooster every day to school,
He never wore any suspenders and was al
ways hitching up his trousers like a sailor,
When we girls made fun Of him he would
run after us, and it he caught one that girl
was sure to be kissed. And he had horri-

chewed tobacco from the time he put on

president"
Mr.. Allison has grown into much more
manly and graceful shape, and has acquired
great mastery Of the worlds ways; he is, in
fact, large, handsome and graceful man,
and in personal intercourse quite polished
and agreeable. He was born March 2, 1929,

THE NEWS IN THE HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-The house was
considering the strong bill when the news
Of the nomination of Harrison was re-
ceived. Possibly three dozen members
made a pretense of attending to business,
but~almost a quorum was gathered about
the bulletin board in the lobby. AS the
last bulletin was received the members
focked into the hall and stood at their
desks, while Lodge, of Massachusetts,
asked the clerk to read the telegram. As
the officer read, Harrison is nominated"
the Republicans cheered wildly, each
member waving small flag bearing the
inscription, Protection for American in
dustry." The Democrats gazed for mo-
ment on the scene and then joined heartily
in the applause, several bandanas making
their appearance in answer to the chal-
lenge on the otner side. For many minutes
the chairman pounded his desk and en-
deavored to secure order. Quiet would be
partially restored, when Anderson, of
Kansas, who sits directly in front of the
speaker, would leap to his feet with Il
cheer and the house would follow him
with another outburst of applause.
Finally the house got back to business and
the Republicans in pairs and small groups
gathered again in the lobbies to talk over
the nomination.

WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED.

CHICAGO, June chairman Cooper,
OF the Pennsylvania state committee, who
all through the convention opposed Sena-
tor Quay in his efforts to nominate Senator
Sherman. tonight gave some interesting
inside views Of the Blaine movements last
night and today. Chairman Cooper says
that last night the Blaine men had assur-
ances Of 600 votes in the convention and
plan to nominate Blaine today was fully
arranged. At that time the managers of
the Blaine movement had received the first
OF the cablegrams which were read in the
convention to-day. 1t was then decided to
nominate Blaine notwithstanding this
dispatch. This morning another confer
ence was held and it was definitely de-
cided to force the nomination of Mr..
Blaine on the fourth ballot today. This
agreement was reached upon Senator
Cooper's own motion. 1t was also agreed
that if this plan succeeded, of which the
managers did not have doubt, to have
the convention adjourn and await reply
from Blaine. But before the convention
met the second dispatch from Blaine was
received and the scheme was abandoned.
1t was then agreed to throw the Blaine
vote to Harrison, which was done and re-
suited in Harrison'S nomination.
