While the peace and purity Of society
depend very much upon the laws Of the
country and the Dlanner Of their enforce
ment, there are undoubtedly other con-
dltlons upon which those essentials OF
human safety aud happiness depend. Vices
do more even than crimes TO disturb
society and to render lif0 unsuccessful
and unbearablo. Vices may be charitably
OF thouGhtlesaly regarded merely as
foilles. yet they may poison the sweetest
cup Of pleasure. estrange friends, create
enemies, and render good people, as the
world goes, very unhappy, and break
hearts Many inconsiderato people assist

evil which often end Ia grievous
aud disastrous results. Almost every
town or city has had a share Of horrible
accidents and crimes which have brought
20 lie people great suffering and distress Z,
but the many little cases never tried In
the courts have caused In almost every

The resignation OF Chancellor Wolcott
viii rob the bench OF our state OF ore Of

win restore to active political life a man
who has a great hold upon the electors Of
Kent county, and must result 10 the
betterment Of the condition Of CD e
Democracy Of that part Of our state.
Chancellor Woloott loves 20 mlngle
freely and unreservedly with the people
among whom he has spsnt almost his
entire life. He is not q man who can
rest content while the intangible barrier
Of judicial dignity stands between him
and his friends and compels him TO
refrain from freely expressing himself
upon all matters which come beneath his
observation.
There Is nothing particularly inviting
about the position which he Is about to
resign. The salary attached to It Is small
when compared with the income from
the practice which he gave up In order
to 60 upon the bench The proceedings
OF his court are Of a hun drum and
long-drAwn-out character, and not con
genial to q man Of his temperament In
short, he Is tired OF being shut of from
those things In which he has always
delighted-an active professional and
political life and unrestricted intercourse
with the political friends Of lifetime.
He has had the honor ana can loss
nothing by relinquishlng t. From a
pecuniary standpoint he will be benefited
for II reports be true, be has in prospect
