THE SUPREME COURT.
Reasons Why the Number of Justice
Should BE Increased.

Reasons Why the mn of Justices
Should He Increased.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-One of the
reasons which the Supreme Court JUS
tees think should have weight in favor
of the passage of a bill to increase the
number of Justices of the Supreme
Court bench is the large territory over
which some of them have to preside
when they go on circuit during the
summer recess of the court. Justice
Miller's circuit includes Colorado,
Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska
and the Northwest. This circuit is the
one Judge Brewer has presided over,
and there is a unanimity of opinion
among lawyers that it is too large for
one Circuit Judge, and that the extreme
Western territory should be divided by
creating ut least two additional SUI
preme Court Justices to sit with the
Circuit Judges in the new made dis
trict when not on the bench ut Wash
inCtOO.

THE FIRST president.

The Centennial Of the Inauguration Of h
First President Celebrated It the
Capitol.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The two
houses held a joint meeting Wednes-
day, in pursuance to a resolution of the
last Congress, to celebrate the centen-
NAL anniversary of the Inauguration
of the first President. The meeting
was, in fact, supplemental to the CEN
tennial celebration of the adoption Of
the Constitution observed in Philadel-
phia last spring. The Hall of Repre-
sentatives was literally crowded and
the gathering was in every respect
notable. The great men of the Nation
were in attendance and the foreign
representatives were numerOus-the
Pan-American congress being in at
tendance in a body.
At one o'clock ce-President Nor
ton called the vast assembly to order
and after prayer Chief Justice Melville
W. Fuller of the Supreme Court was
introduced as the orator of the day.
The new Chief Justice, little known in
public life in the capital city, made a
profound impression. His address was
ornate as we'll as clear cut, and his
analysis of WashingtOn's character is
judged as being one of the best crit
iques eve spoken of 1.-The Father of
His Country" He eulogized Wash
ingtOn both for his deeds as q war
chief and his thorough conservatism
and patriotism as the first Chief
Magistrate of our country. JUDGE Full
Ter spoke at length, but his essay was
OF a character to command and retain
the attention of his great and intelli-
gent audience.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-02-04

IT is pleasant, amid the rant and cant of the republican press in regard to Pre- sident Cleveland's communication of Banker Fish's sentence, to turn to the con- ments of the Meriden Republican, which has some idea of fairness even in par tisanship. Says the Republican: keep ing this old man in the penitentiary will not benefit the sufferers, or restore one cent of their losses to them. The object of Fish's convict life-his suffering, his degradation from affluence to convict's lonely life, are for the effect they are to have on society, and to teach others entrusted with responsible trusts that they cannot betray them without suffer ing an almost unbearable penalty. Fish has paid this penalty already, and the presidents reasons for the communication are well founded, particularly as, we have already said, further torture of the old man will not benefit those who lost by his action. We do not go out of our way to commend President Cleveland but if he has soft spot about his heart let it be mellowed on the side of mercy when no violence is done thereby tC justice"
