THE NEW CHIEF JUSTICE
A Man of Whom the Country, a. Wan
His Party, May He Proud

The greatest prize of the legal pro.
fession. the richest jewel in the crow,
of pi ofessional labors, has b..~
awarded. and justly awarded, to ON,
distinguished townsman, Melville W
Fuller. A more fitting selection. .r
one that would better command III,
respect of the bar and the couptrv
the President could not make.
Rich in the requirements essenti,,
to the judicial character, Mr.. Fulle,
also possesses the firm and Just mind
and the courage necessary to him who
would worthily fill the seat mad,
illustrious by Jay and Ellsworth by
Marshall and fancy.
A lawyer in the very front rank Of
his profession, thoroughly versed in The
wide and varied learning of American
law, he is also scholar, and ripe
and good one. The law is a iealo,
mistress, and exacts from her de-.
voices the most unwearying allegI.
ance, yet while giving this mistress all
her due. Mr.. Fuller has found time to
stray at times in the alluring fields Of
literature, and to cultivate and widen
his mind by liberal studies. This has
indeed. made him all the better law
yer, and will make him all the bcy +
Judge. Few of his predecessors Eayc
been more excellently equipped in
these respects.
As his practice for many years ha,
been confined largely to the Federal
courts, he possesses all that special
knowledge in Federal procedure which
his immedia tie predecessor did not have
when he took his seat on the bench.
He has. too, a profound knowledge Of
constitutional law, gained from study
of the fathers of the constitution and
from the best expositions of the Fed.
eral courts Reared politically in the
school of jefferson. he is strict con.
structionists. aud in accord with that
theory of government, the foundation
of true Democracy. which insists on
the largest personal liberty commen.
surate with justice to all. He believes
that this is better promoted by the
local governments than by the central
power. He understands the just rcla.
tons of the people to the States and Ia
the National Government, and hold
that the States are as indestructible al
the Union. Thus he win hold with
even hand the scales of justice on al
high constitutional questions Th'
Democracy of the Union are to be con
graduated upon this wise appointment
1t gives the promise that theil
equal voice will have weight in the
Amphictyonic council of the Nation. :
