OUR FEDERAL JUDICIARY.
Chief Justice Fuller Speaks at
Washington Celebration.

CHAoh JustICe Fuller SpeakS AT u
Washington Celebration.
CHICAGO, February 22.-At the ami
versary celebration of the Union
League Club this evening, in honor of
Washington's birthday, an interesting
programme was presented. Several
speeches were made, the principal one
by Chief Justice Fuller, on "Our Federal
Judiciary" The sentiment, he said, is
obviously appropriate to celebrate on
Washington's birthday, for it was Wash
ington who urged upon the Continental
Congress, while the smoke of Bunker
Hill still fingered in the air, the creation
of a federal tribunal with Jurisdiction
co-extensive with what were then the
United Colonies and Provinces of Great
Britain in North America, and later,
when the constitution was put into opera
tion, Washington, with his character
istic sagacity, foreseeing the great part
which the judicial department would
play in the development of our institu-
tions, called it, in his letter rendering
the Chief Justiceship to John Jay, "the
keystone of the political fabric"
The Chief Justice spoke of the judg-
ments and powers of the federal judi
cial department, and said: Nothing
has done more to commend that depart
ment to the confidence and respect of
the people than it's scrupulous absten-
ance from the decision of strictly politi-
cal questions and its rigid adherence to
the exercise of none but judicial powers; !;
and it is the acquieacsnce of the people
of the Union and States and their au-
thorities in the conclusions of the judi
cial department that demonstrates the
success of a popular government, since
it implies capacity to observe self.im-
posed restraints. 1t seems to me as the
years roll on that the judiciary gains
more and more in the affection and trust
of the people. The judiciary, national
and State (for the federal and State
courts are parts of one whole, and their
lights shine from one frmament> alike
seek that understanding of heart which
will enable them to discern between that
which ia good and that which is bad, and
so to sit wisely in judgment amid this,
so great people-the people of George
Washington. :"

WASHlNGTON,S BlR THDAY.
Grover Cleveland Draws Some
Lessons From This Theme.

New YORK, February 22.-The fourth
annual dinner of the New York Southern
Society tonight was largely attended.
President Calhoun in his address re-
.ferred to the loss the South had sustained
in the death of Jefferson Davis and
Henry W. Grady, and concluded: "Let
us seek to win the admiration of the
people of the North by our devotion to
the Union and intense love of every Sec
tion of our common country"
The principal speaker of the evening
was x-President Cleveland, who re-
sponded to the toast, "The Birthday of
George Washington" In introducing
him MIR. Calhoun spoke briefly of Mr..
Cleveland's political career, saying in
conclusion: "Since the expiration of his
term he has lived among us the most
unassuming of citizens, but bearing with
him constantly in the incoming and out
going of his daily life, the respect and
confidence and love of the people over
whom he presided in a manner and to
an extent never equalled since the days
Of Washington himself"
When Mr.. Cleveland rose he was
greeted with great applause. He said ::
1.-THE statement that we have too few
holidays is perhaps true. 1t would be
strange indeed if this day should ever be
neglected by our fellow-countrymen We
certainly need at least one day which
shall recall to our minds the truth that
the price of our country was unseltish
labor and sacrifice, that men fought and
suffered that we might be free, and that
love and American brotherhood are nee.
esssry elements to the full and continued
enjoyment of American freedom. pros
perity and happiness. There is danger
that we may grow Needless of the fact
that our institutions are a precious legacy
which for their own sake should be
jealously watched and guarded, and there
is danger that this condition may induce
selfishness and sordidnes, followed by the
idea that patriotism and morality have
no place in statecraft, and that polltlca
career may be entered upon like any
other trade, for private profit and advant
age. This is frightful departure
from the doctrines upon which our insti
tutions rest, and surely it is the extreme
ment will effect it's purpose and inten
when every condition of it's birth ane
life is neglected"
Mr.. Cleveland called attention to thes'
words of George Washington: "It i
substantially true that virtue or moral:t.
is the necessary spring of popular gov
ernment," and added: "When did W
outgrow these sentiments? Let us b.
sober and thoughtful, and if we fin
these things have lost their hold on ou
minds and hearts, let us take soundinga
for the rocks are near"
John Temple Graves, of Rome, Geoi
gia, made an eloquent address, in whic
he said the problems of our governmer
will be solved when the people learn
throb with fervor at the sight of the fiat
and to shout with patriotism at the soun
of national air. The war, he said, wa
inevitable, but both South and North al
better for it, and the Union is mightit
every day.
