CHIEF JUSTICE BEAoLEY.
SKETCH OF TIE OCTOGENARIAN HEAD
OF MEMBERSHIPS SUPREME COURT.
HE HAS BEEN on THE BENCH FOR THIRTf-oNE
YEARS AND HAS RECEIVED THE APPLAUSE
OF MEMBERS OF ALL POLITICAL
PARTIES FOR HIS FAIR-MINDED
DECISIONS.


DECISIONS
Mercer Beasley, Chief Justice of New-Jersey Is
one NJ the Young old men OF the State, and 1t Is no
mere figure OF speech TO say that every Jerseyfha"
has the most profound regard for him. He is eighty
wears old and has been Chief Justice for thrty-one
years and yet there Is no sign OF decline or inirm-
lty In his powers His energy. his grasp o. Iesai
principles, his ability to demonstrate the truth OF
falsty Of an Issue keen to-day as they ever
were.
A notable illustration OF Judge Bcas.eys capacity
was given year. when the attempt 10 s'ea' the
State Senate forced before the court for adJu-
dlcatlon The Chief Justice presided. From polti-
cal point Of view 1t the most momentous case
that the court was ever called to consider. The
Democratic leaders who had organized the conspir-
acy were confident that the Chief Justice was IN
sympathy with them. They actually had the auda'-
ity TO circulate in their select circle the state
ment that Judge Beasey dared not invite their
wrath by spelling their scheme. Not only did they
count upon his support but also on his influence IN
swaying other members OF the court.
Judge Beas.ey probably not ignorant OF the
rumors and stories afioat but he said nothing Day
after day he sat listening the arguments with
his head leaning forward on his left hand In which
ne held the gavel. He showed no sign of fatigue or
lstiessness. On the contrary his questions indicated
that no, a single point lost upon him. When
the case finished man knew where ne or the
other judges stood. Betting on the result was about
even. although many Republicans were tribe ner-
vOus because of the confident assertions maze by
the conspira tors and their associates.
The decision Of the Court covered some -FOUR or
five thousand words and Chief Justice Beasley wrote
IL all with his hand. He let no one see II unit,

and all signed it. with the single exception of Jus

been so veilant, however. They have allowed gam
